Abstract:
This study aimed to examine the relationship between parental educational participation and the professional development of college teachers, as well as to analyze the effectiveness of management construction mechanisms within educational institutions. Given the increasing emphasis on quality education and continuous professional growth, understanding the impact of parental involvement and institutional management practices has become crucial for enhancing teacher support systems and career development. Using a quantitative research approach, data were collected from 425 college teachers selected through stratified random sampling. The significant findings revealed strong positive correlations between active parental participation and multiple dimensions of teachers’ professional development, indicating that increased parental engagement directly contributed to improved teacher performance, motivation, and growth opportunities. Additionally, the study found that effective management mechanisms within educational institutions significantly facilitated and strengthened these positive relationships, thereby enhancing overall professional development outcomes for educators. The study underscores the importance of structured parental involvement programs and robust institutional management practices as vital components in supporting teachers’ career advancement. Consequently, it is recommended that educational institutions implement comprehensive initiatives aimed at encouraging and facilitating active parental engagement, coupled with effective administrative strategies, to significantly enhance professional development and ultimately elevate the quality of higher education.
