Understanding parental support in children’s education at home

Abstract

Parental care at home is responsible for the early development of a child. This thesis investigated parental educational support at the home of primary schools students in Bangladesh. This study intends to explore the conceptions and knowledge about educational care and support of primary school students at home settings in the context of Bangladesh. A qualitative approach was used to collect data through the in-depth interview from 5parents' participants and five students participants. Thematic analysis was used to analyze the data. The result suggested that parents' approach, experience, educational abilities, home environment, and socio-economic condition are related to students learning and success and contributing to further improvement. The lack of awareness of children's educational care and abilities of both parents and family members and overloaded teaching staff are the major challenges of study at home.
