Visions and Realities of Parent Education: Elizabeth Harrison's Influence on Parent Education

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The purpose of this paper is to examine the origin of parent education as exploring Elizabeth Harrisons contributions to it and to rethink knowledge, principles, and forms of parent education. Harrison is one of the most influential kindergarteners for parent education in early childhood education. She engaged in a wide variety of activities and services related to parent education and involvement, led parents into child education, and brought childrearing and parenting to mothers attentions. Harrison focused on nationalization of parent education. Present parent education should focus on developing localized parent education programs reflecting the different needs and concerns of diverse families and parents. As reemphasizing Harrisons vision of parent education, parents should be reconsidered as “co-worker” or a “partner” in the education of children. This paper will provide the key concepts of parent education with insights on current issues of parent involvement.
