KUALA LUMPUR: Good teacher-parent communication is vital in creating an effective home-based teaching and learning (PdPR ) ecosystem for students, said Education and Professional Continuing expert Prof Dr Ismi Arif Ismail. He said such interaction would also make the learning process more enjoyable for students. “Regular communication between teachers and parents is vital for PdPR as it has become the teaching and learning method in this new normal environment,” he told Bernama. Ismi Arif said apart from sharing what have been taught and homework, teachers should always encourage parents to give their support to ensure effective PdPR can be achieved.
