Da participação ao envolvimento parental: uma estratégia de ação para a gestão escolar na busca de melhorias no processo de ensino e aprendizagem

Abstract

The present work investigated nuances in parental involvement that could positively impact the academic performance of a group of students from the kindergarten and primary school of a municipal public school in Limeira-SP. The investigation was given in a specific group of a School Unit that despite the fact that they were in the same social economic conditions and being under the same pedagogical project, they showed higher performance compared to others. The methodology used was made up of quizzes and focal groups applied with the parents, quizzes answered by teachers and semi structured interviews accomplished with the school manager nucleus. The main goal was to get those nuances and from them, create an Educational Action Plan in order to equip the school community as a whole, about the importance and more assertive ways of involving parents who can produce positive impacts in students’ academic performance.
