This article examines, with the help of document analysis, how
cooperation between home and school is presented in the Finnish National
Core Curriculum for Basic Education 2014, which was implemented in
autumn 2016. It was found that references to home-school cooperation
comprise four themes: cooperation based on values, cooperation as a
cultural meeting-point, cooperation to prepare for the future and
support through cooperation. The precise guidance provided by the
Curriculum on cooperation concentrates on actions performed at the
individual level, which in turn steers the focus of cooperation towards
the individual. Questions of communality are avoided, and the school as
an institution is assumed to have endless resources to act. The multiple
faces of cooperation between home and school and the effects and
possibilities at the individual and community levels should be discussed
more versatilely.
