involvement in the effort to inculcate preschool children’s attitude, which

home and the school. All items, totaling 24 items in the dimensions of school-based involvement, home-based involvement and communication between the home and the
school, have obtained experts’ consensus exceeding 75% with 22 of them obtaining
the threshold reading (d) ≤ 0.2. Next, the items involved were arranged by
