Theoretical and Practical Aspects of Cooperation between Early Education Teachers and the Family Environment

Abstract

One of the basic factors that influence a child’s correct development is the environment where the process of education takes place. The environment is made of the family home and the school zone. Both these elements have to cooperate correctly to make the didactic message consistent and effective. However, educational practice shows that in a number of cases the flow of information between the teachers and the parents is insufficient; joint activities are often lacking, along with mutual determination of objectives and tasks implemented in the didactic process. In the article, the authors try to show the problems related to the possibilities of cooperation among teachers of early school education and the environment of parents in various contexts. In the first part of the paper, legal aspects pertaining to the cooperation are described in detail, taking the historical perspective into account, along with legal provisions applicable in Poland and regulating the principles and the range of information provision by the school to the parents. The second part makes references to school practice, presents interesting and untypical examples of activities and solutions conductive to increased level of the parents’ involvement in the educational process. In the final part of the paper, ICT tools which may be used to build the online space of mutual communication and cooperation are described.
