Abstract

A child’s educational context is a creation of two crucial factors, family and school. Both environments, family and school, possess some specific features, and the quality and intensity of these features determine their educational power and create the educational context of a child. In that sense, our research presented in this paper focused on parents’ and teachers’ attitudes and opinions of the shape and content of cooperation, which directly affect the creation of the educational context of a child. We reviewed this subject on the issue of frequency, form, and content of their mutual communication from teachers’ and parents’ aspect. The goal in the research is, based on frequency, form and content of their communication, to determine their participation in the creating of the educational context of the child. The analysis of the research results show that teachers and parents have different opinions about the forms and content of their interpersonal communication, so their mutual cooperation is occasional and uniform in content. This gives us the right to conclude that statistically significant differences between the opinions of teachers and parents regarding the form and content of communication between them hinder cooperation between family and school, so there is a danger of different modeling and creating different models of a child's educational context. This disproportion does not have a positive impact on the child's personality and it leads to the disintegration of educational factors, family and school. In this respect, we consider that it is necessary to make a Program for developing collaborative relationships between family and school (PCFS) and creating an open curriculum.
