Investigating Military Parents� Perspectives on Parental Involvement in the Lives of Students
Abstract
This research study explored the views of Air Force parents with school-aged children ranging from preschool to high school. Six primary caregivers, consisting of military members and military spouses, shared their beliefs and experiences in one focus group interview and two individual interviews. It was found that parents construct their beliefs based on their past experiences as children, their social network�s values, and their life as moving military families. All parents participated in school activities whenever possible but held stronger values in supporting their children�s academic needs at home.
