1. Memahami Kolaborasi Keluarga dan Satuan Pendidikan (Pelibatan Keluarga)

Main ideas and lessons

• Meaning of collaboration: Collaboration means working together to achieve shared goals.
• Shared purpose of schools and families: Both families and educational units (schools) aim to optimize students’ growth and development through education at home and at school.
• Need for harmony: The educational programs and activities in school and family should be aligned.
• Parental/family involvement affects success: Achieving student development goals depends significantly on parental involvement—for the benefit of all students.

Misunderstandings addressed (and the correct ideas)

1. Misunderstanding: Student success is solely the school’s responsibility; the family has no role.

   • Correction: Families and educational units both play roles in education (including through collaboration activities).

2. Misunderstanding: Schools and families can only collaborate in one specific way.

   • Correction: Collaboration varies by each educational unit’s needs and resources. Examples include:
     • Schools holding regular Parenting/parent classes.
     • Families being actively involved in practical learning, such as:
       • Participating in events like Market Day by taking roles during implementation.
       • Practicing cooking with children at school.
       • Getting involved during semester activities.

3. Misunderstanding: Only biological parents can do collaboration.

   • Correction: If biological parents face obstacles, other family members can participate, such as:
     • Uncles, aunts, older siblings, grandparents, or other relatives.
   • Recommendation: Use the term “family” to ensure involvement of all family members living with the student, in appropriate ways.

4. Misunderstanding: Collaboration must be formal only.

   • Correction: Collaboration can be formal or informal, including:
     • Formal parent classes or discussions on child development.
     • Informal communication like brief chats between teachers and parents when parents pick up students.
     • Using digital communication tools (e.g., chat groups) for quick updates if time is limited.
   • Expected benefit: If families are accustomed to casual, open communication, learning and child-development communication becomes smoother.

Method / practical approach (implied guidance)

• Align goals between school and family to support student development both at home and at school.
• Plan collaboration formats based on each school’s:
  • needs, and
  • available resources.
• Use appropriate collaboration examples, such as:
  • Parenting classes (regular)
  • Active participation in practical learning activities (e.g., Market Day roles)
  • Joint learning experiences (e.g., cooking practice with children)
  • Involvement during semester programs
• Include the broader family network:
  • If biological parents cannot participate, involve other relatives living with the student.
• Apply both formal and informal communication:
  • Formal: parent classes, child development discussions
  • Informal: brief face-to-face conversations at pickup times
  • Digital: short teacher-parent chats via messaging/communication groups when time is limited
• Focus on student benefits as the ultimate goal of all collaboration efforts.
