Pedagogical Support and the Need for Parenting Tools
Main Article Content
Abstract
Educational support is understood as a comprehensive process
that involves the active participation of families in their children’s
learning outside of school, incorporating the organization of
learning environments, guidance with homework, educational
mediation, and the socio-emotional dimension. This process
is closely related to children’s emotional development and the
socio-emotional skills of mothers and fathers, which directly
influence the quality of educational support provided at home.
It is emphasized that teachers are also part of this process, as it is
necessary to align families’ needs with adequate parental training.
The purpose of the study is to examine the relationship between
the level of pedagogical accompaniment provided by parents and
the need for parental tools, along with other relevant variables.
Using a descriptive approach with quantitative analysis, interviews
were conducted with 332 parents, and the data were processed
through absolute and relative frequencies for qualitative variables,
employing Spearman’s correlation coefficient. The results include
information on parents’ emotions, their responsibilities, the educational
environment, and their perception of those responsibilities,
among other links between variables. The main finding
highlights the importance of considering the emotions present
during homework and of providing support resources to families.
