A participação da família na vida escolar das crianças

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to identify and analyze the problems caused by the absence of the family in children's school life. Specific objectives were to understand the possible difficulties in the learning of children when parents are absent in school; describe how the family's participation in school happens; and verify the participation of the school institution in the family / school relationship. This work was developed from a qualitative study, with a field research in a public school. The study participants were the teachers, the manager and the families of that school. Data were collected through a questionnaire. In order to base the theoretical reference, readings of books, articles and academic works were developed in magazines and sites with educational bases. We searched for authors such as Pereira (2012), Paro (1999; 2000), Vergara (2009), among others, who contributed to the research. In the data analysis it was identified that the family does not participate in the school life of the children as the school craves, but we also realize that the school does not seek to involve the family as it should. There is a good relationship, but there is a lack of strategies for approaching family and school.
