Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The primary aim of this study is to examine how parents describe the notion of Social Responsibility as an educational objective and to engage them in discussions of its practice in one suburban elementary school. This thesis also considers parents' understanding of their roles in teaching social responsibility to their children. The history of the moral education is reviewed, as are theoretical notions of explicit and implicit curriculum, communities of practice and desired identities. This study adopts a case study methodology. It relies on open-ended interviews with a group of parents whose children attend the school. The analysis reveals that: parents had different interpretations of the concept of social responsibility; they believed the primary role of teaching social responsibility to children was theirs; the school's role was to reinforce what is taught at home, and children were passive recipients of social responsibility education.

This book was released on 2017 with total page 135 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Due to the escalating moral problems in society, parents are asking schools to create an environment to not only teach academics but values and social responsibility as well. This dissertation examines the perceptions of teachers, parents, and administrators in regard to social responsibility at the elementary school level. Many programs exist to teach moral and values education to elementary students and are utilized to address acts of school violence, bullying, drug and alcohol abuse. These programs are widely accepted within schools; however, at what point does a school's obligation for social instruction stop and parents' responsibility begin? If there is a lack of continuation between home and school, how can common values be identified and reinforced? Is it appropriate for schools to only impose its values on students? This qualitative case study examination consisted of an open-ended interview format of teachers, parents, and administrators, who represent the three main types of people that influence a child's character in elementary school. Four participants from each type were selected to be interviewed on 1) their views of the role of the classroom teacher in the instruction of social responsibility, 2) their comfort level of teaching social responsibility, and 3) others' role in teaching social responsibility. A focus group interview was conducted with each group to allow them to collaborate with each other and reflect on their answers from the first interview. Themes were identified by each group, including the importance of teachers balancing social responsibility instruction and academic content along with the importance of teachers serving as role models for students. Parents and teachers both felt they needed additional support from each other in order for students to be successful. All three groups identified comfortable and uncomfortable topics that impacted teaching social responsibility. These included positive ways they impacted students as well as challenges, which included amount of communication, need for increased support, and less apathy toward student issues by parents. Lastly, each group weighed in on the others' role in teaching social responsibility. This resulted in each group identifying how the others could support them in teaching students' social responsibility. Examples included the importance of home/school partnerships, increased communication, and parents not undermining school-based decisions. Due to the daily interactions, evaluating the perceptions of administrators, teachers, and parents may be an important indicator in students' moral and character development. The study was designed to gain insight on the differences and similarities of these three influential groups of educators regarding how, when, and how much social responsibility should be taught in schools. These findings highlight several recommendations on how these three groups can improve the social responsibility instruction that schools provide for students as well as suggestions for future research on this topic.

This book was released on 2013 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Family-centered businesses may have unique perspectives of socially responsible behavior due to family involvement and ties to the community. This research explored the antecedents and consequences of community social responsibility (CSR) for family firms operating in small and rural markets. Using a national sample from the 2000 wave of the National Family Business Survey (NFBS), researchers profiled family business operators' (n=221) to determine if their CSR orientation contributed to family business performance. Enlightened self interest and social capital perspectives provide a framework for elaborating the role of CSR in sustaining family businesses in changing small communities. Results indicate that three dimensions, commitment to the community, community support, and sense of community, account for 43percent of the variation in family business operators' CSR. Size of the business was significantly related to family firms' ability to give and receive community support. Further, commitment to the community was found to significantly explain perceived family business performance while community support explained financial performance. Findings suggest that socially responsible business behaviors can indeed contribute to the sustainability of family businesses in small rural communities.

This book was released on 2016-11-21 with total page 525 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Decades of research have demonstrated that the parent-child dyad and the environment of the familyâ€"which includes all primary caregiversâ€"are at the foundation of children's well- being and healthy development. From birth, children are learning and rely on parents and the other caregivers in their lives to protect and care for them. The impact of parents may never be greater than during the earliest years of life, when a child's brain is rapidly developing and when nearly all of her or his experiences are created and shaped by parents and the family environment. Parents help children build and refine their knowledge and skills, charting a trajectory for their health and well-being during childhood and beyond. The experience of parenting also impacts parents themselves. For instance, parenting can enrich and give focus to parents' lives; generate stress or calm; and create any number of emotions, including feelings of happiness, sadness, fulfillment, and anger. Parenting of young children today takes place in the context of significant ongoing developments. These include: a rapidly growing body of science on early childhood, increases in funding for programs and services for families, changing demographics of the U.S. population, and greater diversity of family structure. Additionally, parenting is increasingly being shaped by technology and increased access to information about parenting. Parenting Matters identifies parenting knowledge, attitudes, and practices associated with positive developmental outcomes in children ages 0-8; universal/preventive and targeted strategies used in a variety of settings that have been effective with parents of young children and that support the identified knowledge, attitudes, and practices; and barriers to and facilitators for parents' use of practices that lead to healthy child outcomes as well as their participation in effective programs and services. This report makes recommendations directed at an array of stakeholders, for promoting the wide-scale adoption of effective programs and services for parents and on areas that warrant further research to inform policy and practice. It is meant to serve as a roadmap for the future of parenting policy, research, and practice in the United States.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: LaRossa explores the experience of parenthood from a sociological perspective. He starts from the premise that parenthood is a social construct; that parenthood is a social institution and that parental perceptions of their roles are socially defined. LaRossa then examines how and why the meaning of parenthood has been redefined over time; how the experience of parenthood differs between the sexes and how this difference has evolved.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1999, this book contains the findings of an exploratory study using in-depth interviews on parenting and the dynamics of Hong Kong Chinese stepfamilies. The stepfamily is a topic which is in lack of local research in Hong Kong, but is an emerging family structure which has increasing need for professional intervention. This study began as a result of the researcher’s concern about the soaring number of divorces and broken families in Hong Kong and her curiosity to uncover the untold stories of stepfamilies. The literature review, presentation and thematic analysis of the findings of this study will increase the readers knowledge and understanding of stepfamilies in contexts which are different from Western societies. This book unveils the perceptions and life experiences of the stepmothers, social workers and teachers attitudes towards stepfamilies and the parenting behaviours of stepfamilies in Hong Kong. The author has reflectively analyzed the complex interplay between the social attitudes, cultural stereotyping of stepfamilies influenced by Chinese traditional values, aspirations towards marriage and marital relationships, parental expectations and parent-child relationships, ideology and policy issues affecting professional intervention.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this thesis, I examine current trends in parenting on the Central Coast, New South Wales (NSW). I explore the concerns, perceptions and everyday experiences of parents with children under five. Specifically, I aim to analyse the anxieties and concerns of parents during child-rearing and how this affects their everyday life. Parenting has become "expert guided, child-centred, emotionally absorbing and financially expensive" (Hays 1996). I will examine the underlying social expectations that allow for a more intensive form of parenting to exist. The impact of different forms of advice and gendered notions of mothering are explored to highlight how they affect parents' feelings of guilt, judgement and self-doubt. My research also explores the role that the media plays in making parents feel anxious, guilty or judged, based on their child-rearing choices. My research is based upon in-depth interviews with 12 parents and four professionals within child-related industries and participant observation at a local playgroup over six months. Overall, I concluded that there are several key interrelated societal factors including mothers' dual role as primary caregiver and employee, the conflict between mother's sense of identity and childrearing responsibility and judgement from parents themselves and external sources, including friends, family and through social media.
