Family perspective on home visiting program
Journal Title: Journal of Human Sciences - Year 2015, Vol 12, Issue 2
Abstract
This study focused on a lately constructed survey instrument that was intended to test the family perspective on a home visiting program and school. The four areas investigated were parent-teacher communications, student-teacher interactions, the parent’s perception of the school and the parents’ understanding of the home visiting program. The participants were selected from parents/guardians of 7th, 8th, 9th and 10th grade students at a Charter school in a southwestern major city in Texas, the United States of America. Twenty-two questions were asked to evaluate parent’s viewpoint with the four designated areas of interaction and communication of among school-parent-teacher. The findings showed that 73.5% of the students’ families living were in low income. The outcomes for reliability were promising (a = .909). Yet, the factor analysis outcomes of a rotated four-factor solution were insufficient to assess validity. This might be related to a small sample size (n = 45).
