Relação família-escola: a experiência de uma escola pública da periferia de Salvador - Ba

Abstract

A good family-school relationship is important to the process of development of children. The family, although it is undergoing transformation, remains a fundamental institution and the basis for the development of human beings.The school is a privileged place for socialization and transmission of knowledge. Both institutions have their specificities and complementarities. Thus, this dissertation aims to analyze the family-school relationship in a public educational institution that serves the population of a suburb of Salvador-Bahia. To achieve this goal we chose to develop a descriptive exploratory study in a school of municipal school system. Participants were: the director of the institution, five teachers from elementary school and 30 parents / guardians of students. As instruments were used semi structured three screenplays, built specifically for this job. All ethical issues were observed. The main results show there is a commitment by the school board to require a good performance and attendance of teachers. There is an appreciation for the school team about the participation of families in the school life of their children. On the other hand, parents / guardians recognize the quality of the school work and feel welcomed by the institution. The data also show that in the context of poverty experienced by the community served, the school collaborates with the strengthening of family relations with society and the overcoming of social vulnerability in which families meet.
