Sažetak
In theoretical discourse, parent-school cooperation is a key factor in ensuring child’s school success and full development, as well as an indicator of the quality of school and teacher’s work. In high quality bonds between parents and school, cooperation is seen in socialization, teaching, respect for cultural differences among children and families, and therefore it offers different perspectives for creating positive school culture. All abovementioned requires individual contact, knowing school curricula and its functioning, time and patience, respect, two-way communication and quality school management. The paper examines parents’ attitudes in order for them to become active participants of the school culture and to understand uniqueness of complexity and dynamics of the teaching process, upbringing discontinuity, expectations and communication. The aim of the research is the assessment of parents’ attitudes towards school culture which includes: school management and relationships in school, educational work and support to learners, as well as attitudes toward teachers. Participants of the research are parents of younger school age learners from four urban primary schools. Instruments used in the research are official documentation and a combination of surveys and Likert type evaluation scale. Parentschool cooperation is a complex and multidimensional process in the school culture, which demands knowledge and time, but it is also a wide continuum for application of different activities, developing motivation and good interaction of parents and teachers. Hence, it depends on a number of circumstances from the position of parents, as well as teachers and school in general.
