Análise da importância da participação dos pais e/ou encarregados de educação na gestão pedagógica: estudo de caso da Escola Primária Completa 5 de Fevereiro da Matola, (2019 – 2022)

Abstract

This study aimed to analyze the participation of parents and/or guardians in pedagogical management at Escola Primária 5 de Fevereiro. We used both a qualitative and quantitative approach, using semi-structured interviews and a questionnaire survey as data collection techniques. Participants included administrators and parents and/or guardians. Convenience sampling was used to select participants. The main conclusion is that active participation is evident at the school, as parents and/or guardians are strongly involved in pedagogical management. Furthermore, it is concluded that although parents and/or guardians actively participate in the school's pedagogical management, some obstacles and impediments interfere with this action. Finally, it is concluded that the strategies used by the school to encourage parental and/or guardian participation consist of cooperative and transparent dialogue and a lecture on the importance of providing support to their students at school
