The Current Situation of Communication Between Families and Schools

Abstract

Previous studies have highlighted the lack of research on the communication between Chinese parents and teachers in schools in Spain (Catatonia). This problem is a significant issue that requires further research, as Chinese parents encounter difficulties during parent and teacher meetings in schools in Spain. This study aimed to assess the influence of cultural perception, communication styles, and barriers to parental involvement on the communication between families and schools in Spain. The data for this study was collected from 90 Chinese parents residing in Spain. An analysis of the data was conducted using SPSS 29, utilising Pearson's correlation, and regression approach. The study revealed a noteworthy and meaningful influence of the perception of cultural differences, choice of communication styles, and barriers to parental involvement on the communication between families and schools in Spain. The study proposed policy recommendations to enhance communication between Chinese parents and teachers in Spanish schools.
