Análise das estratégias adoptadas pelos educadores de infância com vista a melhoria da participação dos pais na educação pré-escolar dos filhos: estudo de caso do CIPB-2022

Abstract

This research was carried out within the scope of the Degree in Early Childhood Development and Education and aims to analyze the strategies that early childhood educators adopt with a view to improving parental participation in their children's early childhood education. At an international level, the issue of parental participation in their children's early childhood education has given rise to several studies among many authors, however at a national level, unfortunately, there are few reflections that address this topic. And the studies carried out show that participation can have different levels and several positive implications in children's preschool education and as a way of encouraging parents to participate, early childhood institutions have developed several strategies. To achieve the objectives, a case study was carried out, in which qualitative and quantitative research were combined, with a greater focus on qualitative research. The sample consisted of five early childhood education teachers, and data were collected through questionnaires and interviews. The final results of the research showed that the development of strategies to improve parental participation in early childhood education has significantly increased the level of parental participation and benefits not only the children, but also the parents and the institution. Although even with the adoption of strategies and a significant increase in the level of participation, there are some parents who still have difficulty in actively participating and communication is the most used strategy. And it is recommended that educators seek to find out which strategies have the greatest positive impact and work more with them.(TRADUÇÂO NOSSA)
