The thematic focus of the present edition of the CEPS Journal is the
cooperation of school with parents. This is an area that is extremely important
from the perspective of ensuring the overall development of pupils, providing
optimal conditions for development and learning, encouraging learning and
for the achievement of other educational goals. Various empirical studies confirm
that it is important to attract parents to cooperation with school and teachers,
in order to comprehensively encourage the child’s development (Burden,
1995; Gonzalez-DeHass, Willems, & Doan Holbein, 2005; Henderson & Berla,
1994; Hornby 2000; Jordan, Orozco, & Averett, 2001; Pomerantz, Moorman,
& Litwack, 2007; Soo-Yin, 2003). Researchers have confirmed that the overall
involvement of parents represents a positive contribution to learning and the
learning achievements of pupils (Hendeson & Berla, 1994; Hoover-Dempsey &
Sandler, 1997 in Gonzalez-DeHass et al., 2005). These studies prove there is a
close relationship between the involvement of parents and the learning achievement
of pupils, their wellbeing, their attendance at school, their views, their
homework assignments, their school marks and their educational aspirations
