“…The process can be carried out in a formal or non-formal educational environment. In the formal education process, the tolerance can be carried out in the school environment through school culture and classroom learning (Monteflor et al, 2006). Usually, the teacher conveys and gives examples of someone's tolerant attitude and intolerant behavior.…”

2021

This study aims to discover a pattern of the transformation of tolerance values from parents to early childhood. The tolerance value in this day and age experiences some problems in the context of nationality. This can be seen from some parts of the area in Indonesia. For instance, in the traditional village of Cigugur, a life based on tolerance is experienced in the community. This study focused on the Cigugur community’s pattern of applying tolerance values in family and community life. This study uses a qualitative method to undertake the study. Observations and in-depth interviews were used to carry out the data collection, and then it was verified and validated through four stages: member check, audit trial, triangulation, and expert opinion. It can be concluded that the pattern of the transformation of tolerance values from parents to early childhood could be transformed through some stages; 1) making sense of kinship as an adhesive between followers of different religions, 2) conveying religious teachings towards differences, not to be contested but to be respected and admired, 3) avoiding the content of particular political interests, 4) having a sense compassion for each other, and 5) having tepo seliro (respect) for each other.

Parental involvement refers to the amount of participation a parent has when it comes to the schooling of his/her children. Some schools foster healthy parental involvement, but sometimes parents has hesitations if they will involve themselves with their children's education. It has been advocated in Western countries. However, there is a body of literature that examines the significance of social and cultural influences and the effects of parents' involvement in and expectations of their children's development and learning. It is important for schools to recognize the existence of cultural variations in parent involvement because there are differences among parents with diverse background on when, why, and how they are involved in their children's education. Parenting is important in the Philippine society because family is viewed as a center to one's social world. But, social contexts in which Filipino families are embedded have changed rapidly over the past ten years (Ochoa & Torre, n.d.). Children's learning is increasingly moving toward a broader vision of the 21 st century learning. As children's educations increasingly occur across a range of settings, parents are uniquely positioned to help ensure that these settings best support their children's specific learning needs. Thus, parental involvement researches remain misrepresentative of parents and the involvement that they have with their children's education (Jackson, 2010). The present study is using a qualitative research design that will investigate existing literatures on parental involvement in Early Childhood Education in terms of communicating from the school, volunteering and participating in school's activities, and learning at home. The study will rely on the analysis of documents in order to gain deeper understanding about parental involvement in the Philippines and propose a School-facilitated Parental Involvement (SPIn) Framework.
