The Impact of the Computerization of a High School's Pedagogical Administration on Homeroom Teacher-Parents Interrelations: A Case Study
Telem, M.
Teaching and Teacher Education: An International Journal of Research and Studies, v21 n6 p661-678 Aug 2005
The introduction of a school management information system (SMIS) in an urban vocational high school, located in a middle-class socio-economic neighborhood, notably affected the learning, behavior and attendance (LBA) interrelations between homeroom teachers (HRTs) and parents. HRT-parents interrelations in general, but those involving parents whose children were having LBA problems in particular, became in most parents' opinion more frequent, more intensive and more formative. Better communication, understanding and trust between parents and the HRTs were observed. Cooperation between home and HRT increased. Implications for the HRT's work are discussed, including a recommendation that HRTs should be trained to use SMIS as a tool for developing and monitoring their interrelations with parents.
