“E-parenting +” through a Families School: Parental training from research

Abstract

The society of the 21st century is characterized by a proliferation of technology and mobile devices. The family, as a social institution, is not exempt from coexistence with these screens and the home becomes a scenario in which family relations begin to be conditioned by the management of these devices and access to the Internet through them. Documentary research forms the basis of this work and bibliographic design forms the basis of the documentary review. The instrument used was an analysis guide ad hoc. A formative proposal for families is presented through an online Family School, framed in the principles of Educational Guidance (prevention, development and social intervention), capable of developing positive parental competencies through a methodology based on the experiential learning of parents or the creation of a personal learning environment, among other aspects. The evaluation of this School of Families is situated within the frame of reference of an evaluative process centred on evidence. In conclusion, the training of families on the management of mobile devices in the home is not only a necessity, but also a social requirement.
