Abstract:

Parental expectations significantly influence children's academic motivation, performance, and overall development in primary education. Understanding these expectations is essential for aligning educational objectives with parental aspirations and ensuring effective collaboration between families and schools.

This study proposes a comprehensive model for assessing parental expectations regarding the objectives of primary education, integrating cognitive, social, emotional, and behavioral dimensions. The question of this is study is: What are the key factors influencing parental expectations regarding the objectives of primary education, and how can these expectations be effectively assessed and integrated into educational practices?

The model is based on a mixed-methods approach, utilizing surveys, structured interviews, and statistical analyses to identify key factors shaping parental perspectives. Key determinants such as socioeconomic status, educational background, cultural influences, and personal experiences are analyzed to explore their impact on expectations.
The study also investigates the alignment between parental expectations and national education policies, as well as potential gaps in understanding between educators and parents.

The findings highlight the need for a structured framework that enables educators to incorporate parental insights into curriculum design and instructional strategies. The model provides a valuable tool for policymakers and educators to assess parental priorities and foster stronger school-community partnerships.

By bridging the gap between parental aspirations and educational objectives, this research contributes to the development of more inclusive and responsive primary education policies.
