Abstract
The aim of this research study was to analyse parents´ involvement in primary schools and the reasons and conceptions that may foster such involvement. The models of Epstein and Vogels served as a theoretical and methodological basis in this study. The sample comprised 110 families with primary school pupils. The population was made up of 41,799 families from Seville, Spain. The confidence level was set at 95% and sampling error was ± 10. An ad hoc questionnaire based on the theoretical models of Epstein and Vogels was developed for data collection. The results showed that parents preferred certain collaboration options. Some conceptions and motivations combined, thus showing different levels of involvement in and commitment to education.
