Envolvimento parental na tarefa escolar

Abstract

In this work we investigate the feelings and perceptions of the parents towards their involvement in the homework of their children. A qualitative research was made with emphasis on the use of the focal group. The study had 12 participants: people responsible for teenagers who were in the 7th, 8th and 9th grade of the basic education from a private school. The data were analyzed by content analysis. The results indicated that the parents see the homework as an element which belongs to the dynamics of school activities, despite the negative feelings that permeate their involvement in the mentioned schoolwork.
