Parents involvement in elementary schools learning through flipped classrooms in Indonesia

ABSTRACT

A learning model that provides space for parents through flipped classrooms at the elementary school level was developed based on the results of field studies and literature studies. The model is implemented and the results are compared with a flipped classroom without parental involvement. Many participants were involved consisting of teachers, parents, and students from public and private schools. The competence and character of students in the learning group that involves parents are better than the learning group without parental involvement. The group of participants in the learning involving parents generally showed positive attitudes and perceptions towards the implemented learning model. However, to ensure a more appropriate form of practice based on various parental backgrounds, further studies are needed.
