Envolvimento parental e sua relação com o sucesso escolar

: estudo efetuado em duas escolas TEIP

Abstract

The following study focuses on family-school partnership, in particular the parental involvement and it investigates its role on the academic achievement of students in two distinctive TEIP schools. The study compares parents’/guardians’ and class teachers’ perceptions regarding parental involvement and it also analyses parents’ and students’ age and gender variation. Furthermore, an association between the parents’ socioeconomic status and their levels of education is also established. This research follows a quantitative correlation analysis (Tuckman, 2005) with a qualitative data analysis dimension; regarding the procedure, the QEPEVpr, QEPE Vpa (Pereira,2003) and a questionnaire with open-ended questions were applied to parents and class teachers, whereas the Statistical Package for the Social Science (SPSS) was used for the statistical analysis. The investigation aims to clarify some features of the parental involvement and the success of academic performance. Therefore, we consider the parental involvement assessments of the parents and class principals enrolled in two different priority schools.
