Avaliação das estratégias da participação dos pais e encarregados de educação no processo de ensino e aprendizagem dos alunos do ensino secundário do 1º ciclo: caso da Escola Secundária Graça Machel de Vilanculos, (2023 – 2025)

Abstract

The school does not have the power to handle the entire educational process without the cooperation of other entities. Parents/guardians are part of these entities that must establish cooperative and complementary relationships within their actions in favor of children's education. Considering that these two entities seek to achieve the same objectives, it is clear that they must share the same ideals so that they can overcome the difficulties and conflicts that daily distress education professionals, not only, but also students and their families. The difficulties in the relationship between parents/guardians and the school in children's education jeopardize their academic success and, consequently, lead to blame when students fail. This is the reason why we propose the research that deals with: The participation of Parents and Guardians in the Teaching and Learning Process of Students in the First Cycle of Secondary Education: The Case of the Graça Machel Secondary School in Vilanculos, (2023 – 2025), a case study at the Graça Machel Secondary School in Vilanculos, in the period 2023 - 2025, whose objective is to evaluate the participation of parents and guardians in the educational process of students, which will culminate in the proposal of strategies to be activated for said participation. The research involves students, parents and/or guardians of students in the 8th, 9th and 10th grades, class directors and the school principal who made it possible to collect research data, from which it was concluded that the degree of parental/guardian involvement in the teaching and learning process of their students is weak, which leads us to propose a strengthening of the parent/guardian-school link so that they feel the school as a welcoming space, feel their own desire to contact teachers, to participate in school life, getting involved in their children's education, but also that the school is taught to learn to learn from parents and guardians, since school education should not create a break with primary education.
