Escola e família: conexões e desconexões no período de pandemia

Abstract

School and family are the two main institutions in the process of raising children. The advent of modernity and industrialization brought about important changes in both institutions. Education has become a citizen's right and ty of the State. The family in turn directed its task of educating their children to school and the school began to educate and teach at the same time. Collaboration between both institutions became confused and fraught with mutual demands. The COVID-19 pandemic and the consequent suspension of face-to-face classes required the school and the family to reorganize their activities and collaborate in carrying out their children's educational activities. Thus, this research aimed to better understand how the relationship between family and school occurred in the context of the pandemic, pointing out the factors that interfered in the proximity and those that led to the distance in the relationship between both institutions, as well as understanding the main difficulties that families faced with their children during this period of social isolation. The research was developed through a questionnaire with the families of students who are enrolled in elementary school I, more precisely with students in the first and fifth year, from Escola Municipal Tia Anastácia, in the municipality of Dois Vizinhos, State of Paraná. Therefore, the research is qualitative research, in which the results can evidence the dynamics of the relationship between the school and the family, being able to come as a point of support in the construction of new initiatives in the development of a cooperative relationship between both institutions.
