University of Phoenix College of Doctoral Studies has released a new white paper, “Discovering School Memories Positive Relationship with Parents’ Engagement,” by Roxanne Jordan, Ed.D., MBA, a member of the University’s Center for Educational and Instructional Technology Research (CEITR). In the paper, Jordan presents a quantitative correlational study aimed at exploring the relationship between school memories and parents’ involvement in their children’s education and future planning.

“Parents have great influence over their children’s decisions about future college and career plans. I wanted to conduct this study to discover if a relationship exists between parents’ own school memories and engagement in their children’s education,” Jordan states. “The connection is there, and it highlights that parents might not be able to meet their children’s needs in the current K-12 environment. Partnership between parents and schools remains vital to effective parental engagement that contributes to student success.”

The white paper details the study methodology, based on 288 parents and legal guardians participating in an online survey, which found a strong correlation between positive memories of school and their current engagement as parents. The white paper further details study findings that saw parents’ memories of empowerment contributing to their engagement and identified engagement barriers that parents experience and which school leaders can help address.
