Abstract
espanolResumen Es sobradamente conocido que la participacion de las familias en la escuela nunca ha alcanzado las expectativas deseadas por la comunidad educativa, pero si hablamos de los progenitores migrantes nos confronta a una cuestion mas compleja que la anterior. Por ello, el articulo persigue conocer el grado de participacion y contribucion de las familias migrantes, asi como las actuaciones del profesorado, para fomentar el conocimiento e implicacion de los padres en la vida escolar en los centros de educacion infantil y primaria de atencion preferente de la Region de Murcia. En tal sentido, se realizo una investigacion cuantitativa no experimental de corte descriptivo e inferencial, empleando dos cuestionarios, en el que, han participado un total de 823 familias y 150 docentes. Los resultados arrojan niveles muy bajos de participacion de los progenitores en el Consejo Escolar, y en la asociacion de madres y padres (AMPA). No obstante, se detectan mejoras significativas en cuanto a una mayor contribucion de los progenitores como supervisar y controlar las tareas escolares, apoyarles en la organizacion del tiempo de estudio e informarse sobre la asistencia regular de los hijos e hijas a clase. EnglishAbstract It is well known that families’ participation at school has never reached the expectations desired by the educational community, but if we talk about migrant parents, we are confronted with a more complex issue than the previous one.
