The study was conducted via an online questionnaire. The objective of this research graduate study was to investigate self-perceived level of competence of future teachers for work and cooperation with parents, and examine their self-assessment skills of working with parents. Students of the teaching faculty are supposed to answer questions related to the cooperation of teachers and parents, as well as their qualifications for future work with parents.
