Parent Research Participation

Calling parents of primary school age children! 

We are currently collecting data for our survey on parental engagement in primary school assessments.

What this survey is about

We are inviting parents/caregivers of primary school children in Singapore to share your views and experiences with school assessments (e.g., quizzes, projects, bite-sized assessments, end-of-year exams, PSLE). Your responses will help us understand how parents look at and understand assessment results and how schools and families can work together to support children’s learning. The findings will be reported to the Ministry of Education for their consideration in policy decisions.

What you will do

You will answer questions about:

• What you think assessments are for (beliefs and appropriate use)

• How to understand common school assessments and decide what to do next

• Your confidence and practices in supporting your child at home and with the school

• What the assessment is like at your child’s school and other factors that influence support at home

• What resources or support for parents would be most useful

• Basic background questions about you and your child (e.g., level, languages at home)

Estimated time: 10-15 minutes. 

Parent voices matter!
