Abstract

Ailenin eğitime katılımı eğitim-öğretim sürecini etkileyen en önemli faktörlerden biridir. Epstein et al. (2009) aile ve okul işbirliğinin çocuğun gelişimi ve büyümesi üzerinde direk ve dolaylı olarak etkilere sahip olduğunu belirtmektedir. Ailenin eğitim-öğretim sürecine katılımını engelleyen ve destekleyen birçok faktör bulunmaktadır. Bu çalışma Konya ilinin üç farklı kırsal bölgesinde yaşayan ailelerin eğitime katılımlarını pozitif ve negatif olarak etkileyen etkenleri nitel araştırma deseni kullanarak incelemiştir. Toplamda 578 veli açık uçlu soruları cevaplandırmıştır. Düşük gelir düzeyi ailelerin eğitime katılımını etkileyen en önemli faktör olarak önümüze çıkmaktadır. Bundan başka ailelerin eğitim seviyeleri, öğretmen ve yönetici davranışları, eğitim politikaları, okul aktiviteleri, okul-aile birliği etc. ailelerin bu süreçte katılımını engelleyen ve destekleyen diğer faktörlerdir.
