12. Langkah 4: Berkomitmen Sejak Awal Hingga Akhir (Pelibatan Keluarga)

Main ideas / concepts

• The video continues a 4-step approach to involving families in educational unit activities.
• Step 4 focuses on reflection and evaluation together with families, using an open discussion space.

Purpose of reflection and evaluation

The reflection/evaluation process is meant to:

• Periodically strengthen and maintain connections between school and families.
• Ensure the “three centers of education” principle becomes real by treating families as key actors.

After the last parenting forum

After last month’s parenting forum (topic: teenagers and social media), each class should discuss:

• The effectiveness of the parenting activities
• Differences in discussion focus by class
• A shared conclusion that school and home each have specific roles supporting children through the teenage period

What the evaluation emphasizes

• Safety and comfort for parents so they can give honest assessment and input
• Openness and continuous improvement through feedback

Reviewing social media use in learning

The video highlights that social media use in learning needs to be reviewed, including concerns such as:

• Potential negative impacts (e.g., content becoming a target of ridicule)
• The risk of cyberbullying
• The need to evaluate and adjust how digital assignments are handled

Methodology / instructions presented

4th step: Carry out reflection and evaluation together

• Open a discussion space with families (parents/students’ families).
• Hold reflection/evaluation periodically.
• Use structured tools and guidance during the session:
  • Break parents into groups by class
  • Have each class teacher guide the first session so parents feel more free to share
  • Provide Sticky Notes and a board for evaluation input
  • Use a rating scale (1–10) for:
    • The effectiveness of last month’s parenting forum
  • Clarify that input has no “right or wrong” answers—the key is that parents feel safe and comfortable to assess and provide feedback
• After discussion, distribute questionnaire sheets for more complete opinions/suggestions:
  • Offer a digital form as an alternative
  • Collect responses via joint communication media
• After group discussion, summarize shared outcomes:
  • Even if each class has a different focus, the common principle remains:
    • School and home have specific tasks according to roles
    • Good cooperation supports children during teenage development

Focus areas within Step 4 (explicitly stated)

• Humility and openness (both parties):
  • Willingness to convey, receive, offer suggestions, accept criticism, and provide input about:
    • the program
    • general school implementation
• Commitment to maintain harmony of cooperation:
  • Aim is to improve the quality of educational collaboration

Handling an example concern: social media in learning activities

• A parent pair raises disagreement:
  • Using social media for learning assignments can have less positive impact
• Example reason given:
  • Uploaded videos become targets of ridicule by others who were not intended to be the audience for school
  • Risk of leading to cyberbullying
• Requested/expected action:
  • Take a screenshot/evidence so the incident can be discussed with teachers
  • Re-evaluate and arrange/adjust several things differently for future use
• Reinforced principle:
  • Openness is important so improvements can be made continuously
  • Prevent wider negative impact by addressing issues early

---

Main lesson / takeaway

• Family involvement is not only about initial agreements and collaboration—it also requires ongoing reflection and evaluation.
• The strongest outcomes come from open, humble communication and a committed partnership between families and schools, especially when evaluating sensitive practices like social media use in learning.
