Tóm tắt

Parent-teacher partnership is essential in supporting young children’s learning. This study uses developmental research to develop a parent-teacher partnership model for flexible learning. Random sampling was used to select 79 parents of students in kindergarten to Grade 3. Thematic analysis was used to analyze the qualitative data. The findings revealed that parents had different experiences with partnerships in flexible learning. Socio-emotional, technology, and academic support were needed to enable parents to continue the partnerships. The proposed parent-teacher partnership framework identifies communication, collaboration, and consistency as key components. Communication is the exchange of information between teachers and parents in which mutual trust and respect are present. Collaboration and cooperation work together to achieve learners’ goals by supporting each other as partners in difficult situations. Consistency is the continuity of a partnership that prioritizes habit formation. Further investigation is recommended for future research.
