“…In the past, the perception amongst Arab parents had been that the management of educational institutions should be centralized, allowing for little intervention by the parents (Arar, Abu-Asbah, 2013). Nevertheless, the global trend of parental involvement in the schools has also affected the Israeli-Arab minority; and socio-cultural changes have led to an increase in interest amongst Arab parents to become involved in their children's schools (Arar et al, 2017). Among the changes noted has been a transformation from a traditional society to one where competition and ambition is rife.…”

“…Among the changes noted has been a transformation from a traditional society to one where competition and ambition is rife. The decentralization of the educational systems has led to the delegation of managerial power (Arar et al, 2017) and the increase in parental involvement in the schools as a means of increasing the children's socio-economic mobility (Fisher, Kostelitz, 2015).…”

Greater involvement of parents and the school community in educational management decisions has brought about changes in the management of the schools. Over the past few decades, reforms to the education system in Israel have allowed for greater involvement of parents and the school community in the activities at schools. Concurrently, the growing popularity of social media has created an ease of communication between parents and their children’s educational management teams that has necessitated changes in the educational management of the school community. The purpose of this paper is to provide an overview of studies that examine the changing influence that parents’ involvement in the school through school activities and their communication on social media has on the role of educational management in Israeli schools. A comprehensive review of key publications was conducted to synthesize research findings about changes occurring in educational management of schools in Israel. In the educational management of a school, which enables parental involvement and accommodates parental communications on social media, cooperation and coordination between parents, educational management and the school community, is likely to contribute to maintaining the required balance between positive involvement and overzealous interference.

This study aims to find out the parents' involvement on their children's' educational attainment in mathematics from the teachers' perspective in particular. The qualitative approach was actively employed. Besides, a sample of experienced teachers and educators was taken. The sample consists of 13 male and female teachers with whom the notion of parents' involvement was discussed, challenges of parents' involvement, to what extent it might be effective, the purpose of parents' involvement and how parents could be helpful to the academic staff throughout the educational process, and the impact of such involvement on the value system. In accordance with the research results; all teachers were in favour of parents' involvement. Parents' involvement, according to the interviewed teachers, is vital for the success of the educational process. Some teachers, however, viewed parents' involvement as a threat to the school staff, i.e. they prefer a controlled level of involvement that does not preach the teacher's own work space and freedom. Some teachers expressed the problem with parents' involvement in the fact that some parents lack the necessary level of awareness. Based on the research findings; I recommend a broader parents' involvement. The prior is in favour of children's educational attainment. Besides, specialized courses for parents should be seriously considered in order to raise their awareness. In the Negev region, for instance, parents' involvement is extremely limited due to polygamy, work burden and other social problems.

“…The main issue that will be the focus of the paper involves parent involvement and its effect on student learning effectiveness. In Malaysian preschools, it is observed that the level of parent involvement in preschools continues to be not very comprehensive and minimal (Arar et al, 2018). Research done on the topic of the preschool learning process has shown that parents have a very important role to play in the learning process as well (Chen et al, 2022).…”

“…Certain preschools perform very well, whereas other preschools perform not so very well. It is the quest of preschools to ensure that the quality of education provided by them to the school children is optimal and is capable of satisfying the parents as well (Arar et al, 2018).…”

Parents are central figures in the children's learning process and their involvement in the preschool does have an influence on the effectiveness of the learning process. However, parents in Malaysia are facing the issue of a lack of opportunities for involvement in the preschool in which their children study. This is believed to be affecting the learning efficiency of the children. A quantitative study using the convenience sampling method was used to source 390 respondents. The objective involves exploring how the role of the parents of preschools can result in a child being able to learn more efficiently. The results of the survey were analyzed with SPSS version 26. The findings of the Pearson’s correlation test and multiple regression test results have shown that parental involvement in parents’ involvement in the teaching method used in preschools, and parents’ involvement in a certain degree of school-based activities at the preschool are all very important to ensure better learning efficiency of the children. The main implication of these findings is that preschools are recommended preschool teaching methods, and school-based activities, and this is to ensure parents are able to make a positive decision to choose a preschool that can provide their children with quality education.
