摘要:This study aimed to reveal the views and perspectives of school principals about the scope of parent involvement in education, how it can be encouraged, and the positive and negative outcomes of the involvement. Accordingly, this is a qualitative study using a phenomenological design. The study group was formed according to the homogeneous sampling method falling within the purposive sampling classification. The study group created using the homogeneous sampling method, which included school principals working in Ankara, Istanbul, Yozgat, Zonguldak, and Van provinces, were administered a Parent Involvement Interview Form, which was developed by the researcher. The data obtained were analyzed using content and descriptive analysis. The findings of the study indicated that school principals defined parent involvement as giving support for school-parent association activities that cover procedures and works for establishing, executing, and accomplishing school-parent association bureaucratically. The opinions of school principals in the context of parent involvement models, on the other hand, are observed to center on the consumer and delivery models. Consequently, although parent involvement is considered like the help with homework given, it can be said to be a multivariate and comprehensive issue. Therefore, some recommendations have been made based on raising awareness that children's education does not only take place in learning environments such as schools or classrooms, but it also continues in the family and out of school environment.
