Family-school interaction. Content analysis on theachers and families’discourse

Abstract

ABSTRACT

This paper presents the preliminary results of a study which is part of a broader research, focused on the identification of the key factors that mediate and determine the communication climate between families and schools (F-S). We have accomplished a content analysis that examines the discourse of teachers and parents with nine to fourteen years old students, with the aim of identifying the main categories that encompass the different forms of family-school interactions observed in these schools, exploring the differences that appear in different regions of Ecuador.
