Presenting a model to promote parents' interaction with school and its role in children's educational progress: a mixed approach: Mixed method

AbstractThis research was conducted with the aim of providing a model to promote the interaction of parents in the direction of children's academic progress with a combination strategy of sequential exploration. the statistical population, there were 109,535 people who were the principals of the three primary, first and second secondary education courses. Cluster sampling 535 managers were selected. Sampling was a targeted qualitative part of scientific-research sources and texts and an open interview with knowledgeable experts. Validation of qualitative data was done using the methods proposed by Borg and Gal (2016) and through the exploration method by the participants, and content validity was also used using experts' opinions to check the quality of the content. Reliability was also measured with the Holstein reliability coefficient. The reliability, validity of the scores obtained from the research were verified using Cronbach's alpha method and confirmatory factor analysis. The analysis method was used in the qualitative part of thematic analysis and in the quantitative part of the structural equation model, second-order factor analysis was used.The results of the structural equations showed that measurement models of the effective factors in the interaction have a good fit. Key words: interaction, parents, teachers, school, mixed approach
