THE NECESSITY OF PARENTAL PARTICIPATION IN CURRICULUM PLANNING AND PREPARATION
Journal Title: Educational Research International - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 2
Abstract
There are various opinions concerning the participants in curriculum preparation. According to the experts, the role of three groups are basic in this regard: the domination of university experts; the domination of the experts familiar with the environment; and symmetrical and harmonious participation. This paper deals with the reasons for parental participation, and the level and the significance of their participation in curriculum planning. It is concluded that parents' involvement in curriculum planning is essential, and it should be of high consideration. However, it seems even in the developed countries, where their governments have explicitly declared that parents' involvement is somehow obligatory and their legislators have passed some acts in this respect, parental involvement is indeed in helping the school staff, and not in curriculum planning.
