SYNERGISTIC STRATEGIES FOR MANAGING THE FAMILY-SCHOOL RELATIONSHIP FOR THE PREVENTION OF SCHOOL FAILURE AND DROPOUT

Abstract

The school success of students is determined by a series of intrinsic and extrinsic factors, where the joint participation between the family and the educational center, prospects better academic results, in this sense, the general objective of this research is to design synergic strategies for the management of the family-school integration relationship that contribute to the prevention of school failure and dropout. The methodology is located in a rationalist epistemological approach, under a critical rationalist paradigm and the deductive method. The research route was designed in three phases: in phase I, a survey was applied; in phase II, an analysis of the information collected to explain the relationship between the theoretical bases and the background with the processes evidenced in the empirical approach; in phase III, a proposal was designed within the framework of an operational plan to contribute to the prevention of school failure and dropout. The units of analysis were teachers and students in two educational institutions. In the results, most of the people participating in the research considered effective the contribution of strategies based on family-school integration to prevent school failure and dropout. It was concluded that school success can be guaranteed by strategies that enable cooperation between actors, building better educational processes.
