Communication between Teachers and Parents using the WhatsApp Application

The purpose of this research is to examine how the electronic media, WhatsApp, effects the communication between teachers and parents and the teacher's work. The research was conducted in the qualitative method using an interpretive constructivist paradigm with twelve teachers who use the WhatsApp media. Three main categories were discovered from the analysis of the interviews: management of the group which includes who is responsible for managing the group and group time limitations, content of the WhatsApp which includes material and technical content and the positive and negative effects of using WhatsApp on the teachers. It can be concluded that the use of WhatsApp is necessary and beneficial to the teacher's work, but the boundaries must be examined and defined in the use of the WhatsApp groups.
