The present study examined the relationship among community consciousness, school-community partnerships recognized by parents, and evaluations of parent-teacher association (PTA) activities, including gender differences. An online survey was conducted and data from 493 parents who served as PTA officers in public elementary and junior high schools in the last three years were analyzed. The number of opportunities for local residents to participate in school activities was used as an index of school-community partnership, whereas internal rewards and sense of burden were used as indices for the evaluation of PTA activities. The results indicated that the participation of residents in school activities was, generally, positively related to community consciousness, which, in turn, was positively and negatively related to internal rewards and the sense of burden obtained from PTA activities, respectively. Gender differences were found such that in general, mothers reported low ratings for community awareness and PTA activities. The study discussed the environment necessary for utilizing human resources in community activities.
