Description
Summary:The role of parents in educating preschool children at home is inarguable. However, the strength or lightness of parents' role in educating their child depends a lot on the way they used to educate him. The aim of this study was to explore the usage of parental education methods for preschool children at home. The cluster random sampling technique was used to select 586 survey participants. This study confirmed four groups of educational methods that were used by parents, including Group of verbal methods, Group of action-based methods, Group of motivation-making methods, and Group of disciplinary methods. Most of the method groups were practiced on the often level or more. Three out of four method groups were found to have significant differences in use among parents with different characteristics. The parental education level was a significant predictor of all method groups used for educating preschool children at home, whereas parental age was not a significant predictor for any of them.
