Abstract
- This study investigated the changes in teacher-parent communication and cooperation during the COVID-19 pandemic and to determine how parent participation in distance education can be achieved. A qualitative descriptive design was adopted in the study. The study group consisted of 12 secondary school teachers working in Adana, Turkey, and 16 parents whose children are students of these teachers. The data were obtained through semi-structured interviews and analyzed through content analysis. The study concluded that teachers are required to be more directive and sensitive to students' specific requirements while parents need to be more involved in communication and cooperation in distance education. Ensuring the motivation of teachers and parents in distance education is the most effective factor that strengthens the cooperation processes. [This study was orally presented at the 8th International Eurasian Educational Research Congress held in Turkey.]
