ABSTRACT
This study aims to verify the socio-demographic, child-related, school-related, and motivational factors associating the school-based involvement of parents with elementary school children. Descriptive statistics and binominal logistic regression analysis were performed on the data of 778 parents in the Survey on Parental Education and School Participation conducted by the Family-School Policy Research Center of Seoul National University. Parental involvement activities were divided into school supporting activities (child-related/school-related volunteer work, educational donation, and parents’ association) and children s education-related activities (offline/online parent consultation and offline/online parent education) according to the characteristics of the activities and the analysis was conducted on eight detailed activities. As a result, it was confirmed that the factors associating the parental participation in each activity were different, and the influence of the related factors revealed in previous studies had changed. Regardless of activity type, it was found that internal motivational factors related to parental participation had a greater influence than external factors. Based on the results of the study, it was discussed that parental school-based involvement activities have heterogeneous characteristics, and policy support for enhancement in participation need to be subdivided according to the characteristics of the activity.
