Purpose
The purpose of this research project was to examine changes in knowledge and attitudes related to family involvement in schools by pre-service teacher education students participating in the PTE Connect Curriculum.
![Page 5: Family, School, and Community Partnerships: A Model for Pre-service Teacher Education Presentation at Center for Research, Evaluation & Advancement of.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56649e0b5503460f94af2694/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Study Questions
1. To what extent was change in candidate knowledge of each type of family involvement associated with use of the related module?
2. To what extent was change in candidate attitude toward family involvement associated with the use of the set of modules?

Research Base of PTE Connect
The evidence is now beyond dispute. When parents are involved in their children’s education at home their children do better in school

Treatment
• Partner universities infused the PTE Curriculum into their teacher education programs in their own ways.
• Sample lesson plans were provided for guidance, but were just suggestions.
• Sample lesson plans included:– Discussion of Case Studies – Cooperative group projects– Products of learning (Teaching Activity)
![Page 13: Family, School, and Community Partnerships: A Model for Pre-service Teacher Education Presentation at Center for Research, Evaluation & Advancement of.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56649e0b5503460f94af2694/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

Knowledge Assessments
– Six assessments developed by project personnel on the basis of each module’s content and objectives.
– Each assessment consisted of 20 multiple choice and true/false items
– Assessments were revised after item analysis of assessments of teacher candidates who participated in pilot studies in 2002-2004.
– The pre-and post-knowledge assessment instruments were identical.

Attitude Towards Parent Involvement Survey
• Developed by Epstein, Connors, and Salinas (1993) for use with in-service teachers.
• Asks teachers to report the importance of various parent involvement activities using a Likert scale with “1” being “not important” and “4” being “very important.” – Factor I: Parents and Teachers as Partners in Learning
- represented activities where the parent and teacher worked together as partners in the child’s learning
– Factor II: Teacher Initiated Partnership Activities and represented activities planned or initiated by the teacher to facilitate parent involvement in the child’s learning.
– Factor III: Parent Initiated Community and School-wide Partnership Activities - was based on how important teachers feel it is for parents to engage in partnership activities with their child at school and in the community.

Results
• One-tailed, paired sample t-tests were performed to compare mean scores on each of the pre- and post-test scores on both measures
• Results of the analysis of knowledge scores indicated significant changes between pre- and post-test scores for all six assessments (p< .001) when data were combined.
• Significant results differed by university
![Page 30: Family, School, and Community Partnerships: A Model for Pre-service Teacher Education Presentation at Center for Research, Evaluation & Advancement of.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56649e0b5503460f94af2694/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Conclusions
• The infusion of web-based learning modules into existing pre-service teacher education classes was found to be successful in improving student attitudes toward parent involvement and knowledge about parent involvement - across all universities.
• Systematic presentation of PTE Curriculum through 100% online course led to greatest knowledge gains
• Use of problem-based learning through case studies helped the learners apply knowledge through discussion and reflection
![Page 31: Family, School, and Community Partnerships: A Model for Pre-service Teacher Education Presentation at Center for Research, Evaluation & Advancement of.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56649e0b5503460f94af2694/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Conclusions
• All universities experienced significant increases in attitude scores suggesting that attitude was more related to the positive consideration of families, school, and communities rather than specific knowledge change.
