The purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of parent education programs conducted from 2002 to 2011 in Korea for parents, and the dependency of the effect on each dependent variable or trait-treatment variable. As a method for the study, a meta-analysis was used for inducing a synthetic conclusion by converting results of many studies to identical measures.
The results of the meta-analysis are summarized as follows. Firstly, the overall mean effect size of the parent education programs in this study turned out to be 1.05. The result shows that parent education programs were very effective. Secondly, by each dependent variable, the mean effect size on parenting style of the effects of parent education programs in this study was 1.56, the mean effect size on parent-children relationship and communication of that was 1.33, the mean effect size on change of children of that was 0.99, the mean effect size on internal change of parents of that was 0.73. Thirdly, by types of program, the mean effect size of parent education programs for specific purpose was 1.20, the mean effect size of that for specific object was 1.15, the mean effect size of that based on theory was 1.02, the mean effect size of that recognized officially was 0.96. Fourthly, the mean effect size of parent education program classified by trait-treatment variable(group size, total session, session duration, children types of participants, children ages of participants) is also calculated. The mean effect size is 1.41 for 20 ～ 30 children by group size, 1.28 for 11 ～ 15 times by total session, 1.14 for 150 minutes by session duration, 1.37 for parents with disabled children by children type of participants, 1.12 for mothers by types of participants, 1.19 for elementary students by children ages of participants.
This study can enlarge applicability of parent education for parents and provide a basic information helping to design and conduct studies on effectiveness of parent education programs as well as to organize or operate effective parent education programs in the future. Finally, the limitations of the current study and the need for a further study are discussed.
