The Role of Parents in Improving the Behavior of School’s Students in Azena Primary School, Ethiopia

Abstract

The major purpose ofthis study is to investigate the role of parents in shaping students’ behavior in
Azena primary school (primary first cycle (Grade 1-4) and primary second cycle (Grade 5-8)). The
study was descriptive in nature. 40 teachers were selected through census survey method for
questionnaire and 10 parents were selected for key informant interview purposively. The collected
data were analyzed and interpreted using simple descriptive statistical tools, frequency and
percentage. This study reveals that the contribution of parents in improving student school behavior
is low due to lack of proper training strategies and poor home -school interaction. This study
indicates that improper rule and regulations, negative relationship between student and teacher, lack
of continuous monitoring and evaluation of school administrators, poor teaching method,
inadequate school facilities, unusual monitoring of parents, and the school administrators are causes
of indiscipline. The result found that giving rewards and praises for students behaving well and
involving parents are more effective in producing desirable behavior in the school. Besides, the
involvement of students in the formulation of school disciplinary policy has been viewed as a good
strategy, which most likely can influence them into accepting and showing commitment towards it.
Therefore, this study recommends that parents and all school staffs should work together so as to
minimize the disciplinary problems of students and to foster the role of parents.
