Meningkatkan Peran Orang Tua dalam Mendukung Proses Belajar Anak: Kolaborasi yang Efektif Antara Sekolah dan Orang Tua

Abstract

This Community Service Program (PKM) is designed to increase parental involvement in supporting children's learning process at Al-Kamal Islamic Kindergarten, Kedaung-Pamulang. Research shows that low parental involvement can have a negative impact on children's academic and social development, as well as reduce the effectiveness of learning at school. Therefore, this program focuses on educating parents about their role in children's education, developing effective communication between parents and teachers, and providing learning aids at home. The implementation method of this PKM consists of an initial meeting to identify needs, a parental preference survey, and a five-day webinar that includes material on parental involvement, home learning support, and effective communication with teachers. Evaluation of the results showed that this activity succeeded in increasing parents' understanding and skills in supporting children's education and creating positive synergy between schools and families. It is hoped that through this activity, parental involvement in the education process can be sustainable and contribute to the optimal development of children.
