Communication Patterns Used During Learning From Home Mentoring At Kindergarten

Abstract

Examining the involvement of parents in finding communication patterns has become very relevant due to the importance of Learning From Home activities. Therefore, this research aims to describe the communication patterns used by teachers and parents in assisting children as well as the aspects that influence the successful implementation of Learning From Home mentoring. This descriptive quantitative research used a population consisting of 6 teachers and 121 parents from the Kramat Jati State Kindergarten, East Jakarta, Indonesia, and employed questionnaires for the data collection. Subsequently, the results revealed several communication patterns between teachers and parents during Learning From Home activities, namely cooperative, interpersonal, transactional, and collaborative. Various influential aspects in successfully implementing this learning process include planning with parents, parental mentoring and guidance, facilities for customer complaints through a Whatsapp group, and motivational aspects provided by parents based on directives from teachers or the school.
