Educational Citizen and Rise of Parentological Studies:Rebranding and Academic Strategies for Parents' Substantive Participation in Education

This paper discusses the diagnosis and countermeasures for the in-depth reasons for the lack of effectiveness despite the government's policy on parental participation in education. It checks the current state of the public opinion on education and the situation in which the public opinion on education is being ignored, and confirms the existence of situations where you don't have to listen. Disregard for parents is due to the lack of parents' social presence, which is linked like a chain link due to difficulties in raising the voices of parents and insensitivity to parents' voices. This chain link is an in-depth reason that hinders the realization of parental independent and substantive participation in education. In order to cut off the chain of in-depth reasons, the first challenge is to form a social presence for parents. In order to support parents to take root in their social presence as an educational subject, resistance and struggle for recognition against the hostile culture towards parents are presented as tasks. It presents rebranding and academic strategies as a way to support solving these tasks. For rebranding, it points out the problems in the "social parent" and presents the " educational citizen" plan. Parent academic strategy is a task that theoretically supports educational subjectivity and educational participation while reflecting the three major identities of parents. The academic strategy can be largely composed of three parts:First, take a new perspective to ask questions and understand parents correctly; Second, look at education from the standpoint of parents; Third, resist a culture that is hostile toparents. Academic strategies not only involve parents, but also have a wide range of pedagogical significance. The government and educational circles should treat the problem of parents' quality with the awareness of teachers' quality. It is necessary to introduce a management strategy for education enthusiasm at the national level so that the government and the education community have the perspective and ability to nudge the educational energy of parents. The academic strategy aims for a symbiotic relationship in which the three-party relationship promotes mutual evolution through balanced research among the three actors of the state, teachers, and students-parents. The establishment of a symbiotic relationship between the three actors is a key task in establishing educational democracy and at the same time can be a new secret of sustainable educational development. The contents of teacher training education should include the knowledge of parents, and the professionalism of teachers should be transformed into a service professional culture that overcomes the exclusive professionalism of parents and actively accepts the participation of educational citizens. The policy principle of parental education participation should be changed to "activation after normalization" rather than "activation".
