| description | The general purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of the
National Population and Family Development Board's (NPFDB) parenting module
among parents by examining the effects of individual differences (expressed
readiness for parenting change and perceptions of parenting self-efficacy) and
exposure to the module on parenting outcomes [parenting knowledge, attitudes,
practices, and skills (parenting KAPS)]. The Pre-test-Post-test Control Group Design
was used for evaluating the parenting module. The 80 respondents were randomly
assigned to the experimental and control group. Results of the study showed that
parenting KAPS improved significantly from before to after exposure for the
experimental group. Generally, it was found that the participants had high
perceptions of the module structure, usefulness and relevance of contents to their needs. Results suggested that individual differences was significantly correlated with
parenting knowledge (r=0.56, p<0.05) and parenting attitudes (r= 0.46, p<0.05).
However, there was no significant correlation between individual differences and
parenting practices and skills. Results obtained suggested that exposure to the
module was significantly and positively correlated with parenting knowledge
(r=0.57, p<0.05), parenting attitudes (r=0.56, p<0.05), parenting practices (r=0.34,
p<0.05) and parenting skills (r=0.26, p<0.05). There was a significant relationship
(r=0.32, p<0.05) between individual differences and general perceptions of the
module. )'he participants' exposure to the parenting module and individual
differences was found to have a direct effect on their parenting KAP. However, for
parenting skills there was no evidence to conclude that exposure to the module and
individual differences explained the variation in parenting skills. The study
concluded that the parenting module was effective in changing the parenting KAPS
of parents. |
