  • Are teachers not alone? The role of multi-professional support teams in fostering parental engagement and involvement

    Open AccessCintia Csók, Emese Alter et al.ARTICLESocial Sciences & Humanities Open2026

    Despite extensive research on the role of teachers and school leaders in family-school cooperation, the contribution of school support professionals to strengthening family-school partnerships remains insufficiently explored. At the same time, the increasing number of non-academic school problems has expanded the responsibilities of these professionals, who play an important role in facilitating communication and cooperation between families and …

  • Mission Possible? Institutional Family-School-Community Partnership Practices and Parental Involvement in Hungarian Majority and Minority Schools in Three Central and Eastern European Countries

    Open AccessGabriella Pusztai, Katinka Bacskai et al.ARTICLESocial Sciences2025References: 5

    Decades of research suggest that higher levels of parental education are related to more active and effective parental involvement (PI) practices. At the same time, schools’ policies and practices facilitate family-school-community partnerships (FSCPs) to support students in attaining successful outcomes. However, it is unclear which school policies are effective in equitably involving parents with lower educational attainment. This study aims to…

Our research focuses on the impact of different forms of parental involvement (at-home and in-school involvement) on primary and high school students’ academic performance, and we also examine the differences between low- and high-status families. Our quan…

  • How Can Social Capital Become a Facilitator of Inclusion

    Open AccessAnett Hrabéczy, Tímea Ceglédi et al.ARTICLEEducation Sciences2023

    Students with special educational needs are a diverse group. Promoting their learning success is particularly challenging, even in practice for inclusive schools. At the same time, parents are often left alone with diagnosis and treatment. Therefore, the focus of our study was on the families of successful students with special educational needs and the networks around their families. Our research question is: What are the differences in social c…

Special education professionals primarily empower the families of children with atypical development by relying on the organizational factors of individual support and services. The decision-making/partnering factors of the educational and general health processes, on the other hand, rece…

  • Religious Values and Educational Norms among Catholic and Protestant Teachers in Hungary

    Open AccessGabriella Pusztai, Katinka Bacskai et al.ARTICLEReligions2021Cited by: 1References: 34

    There are several studies looking into the differences between state-run and church-run schools in the recruitment and retention of their teachers. In Hungary, where teachers of church-run schools do not have to meet any special official requirements, church-run education has seen a rapid expansion since 2011. The denominational schools in Hungary are faith-based government-dependent private schools. The number of both Catholic and Protestant sch…
