The Effectiveness of Home-School Collaboration on School Bonding and Peer Relation Students with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder

The aim of the current research was to study the effectiveness of the home-school collaboration training program on school bonding and peer relation in boy students with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder.

The method of research was practical and quasi-experimental pretest-posttest with a control group. The study population included mothers, teachers, and boy students with attention-deficit/ hyperactivity disorder in schools in the 4th district of Tabriz in 2021. Using the convenience sampling method, 30 of these students were selected and randomly assigned into experimental and control groups. The school bonding Questionnaire (SBQ) and Hudson's Index of peers relation(IPR) were used to collect the data before and after the test. The home-school collaboration training program was carried out in nine training sessions for parents and teachers.

Data analysis used with Multivariate analysis of covariance and SPSS-16 revealed that there was a statistically significant difference between the scores of the subjects in the two stages of pre-test and post-test. In the same vein, there was a significant change in peer relationships and school bonds in the experimental group under the influence of the home-school collaboration training program.

Due to the effectiveness of the home-school collaboration training program, the development and implementation of this program is recommended for other groups with disabilities, teachers, and their parents.
