Evaluation of the Current School-Parent Association Policy in Two Public Primary Schools
Öz: The purpose of this study was to explore how current School Parent Association (PTA) operatesbased on stakeholder perceptions through an embedded case study. Units of analysis were two publicprimary schools’ PTA program in a district of Ankara. The data were obtained by semi-structuredinterviews with teachers, parents, the school administrators. Inductive content analysis yielded four mainthemes; 1) school profiles; 2) accountability; 3) functions of PTAs; and 4) issues and suggestions. Findingsindicate that the PTA was effective in improving the quality of curricular and extra-curricular activities,especially, in the provision of financial inputs to operate those activities. Critical implementation gaps werepresent between the stakeholders’ expectations and the current PTA operation. The study suggests theimplementation of school-specific micro policies through PTA support systems.
