Abstract

Parental involvement had benefit for the education of elementary children. Yet, knowing parental efficacy was important factor to do such involvement. The purpose of this study was todesign and examine a practical, valid, and reliable parental efficacy scale for measuring parents’ capabilities to involve in elementary education. A total of 402 parents of elementary children participated in this study, consisting of 114 fathers (28.36%) and 288 mothers (71.64%). They were selected randomly from 10 elementary schools and fulfilled informed consent showing they participated voluntarily in the study. A Parental Efficacy Scale which had been designed was tested for its practicality, validity and reliability. This self-report instrument asked parents to respond 67 items containing six aspects, namely their belief to be able parenting children, communicating with the school, helping children learn at home, becoming school volunteers, making decisions, and collaborating with community. The results showed that the scale fulfilled all of three requirements in all six aspects.INTRODUCTIONThe efforts of involving parents in education historically is not new. As described by Berger (1995), it had long story and evolved in diverse education system in many countries. In modern time parents’ attention to education is higher compared to previous era. It relates to an assumption that children’ dignity are determined by how high the degree they have. So, the higher a child has degree the more successful they may have. As discussed by Cheadle (2009), educating children is an educational investment for parents. At this point, parents have to spend their family budget for providing a conducive learning environment so that their children will be successful in school. Urgency of involving parents in elementary education can be viewed from developmental approach. Parental involvement in education is needed across all ages, from children to adolescents. Ruholt, Gore, & Dukes (2015), for example, found parents play on the academic self-efficacy and self-esteem of their adolescent. Duvall &Miller (1985) identified encouraging educational attainment as one of parental development task when the eldest child began attending elementary school. Failure to carry out this task will have a negative effect on child learning. The implication of this importance is that parents are expected to be fully involved in children's education.A number of studies, such as Voorhis et al.(2013), Caño et al.(2016), Park and Holloway (2017), McDowell, Jack, & Compton (2018),Hashim et al.(2018), and Marti et al.
