Abstract

BARQUERO BRENES, Ana Rocío. The Perception of Teacher about the Promotion of Coexistence within the Families of their Students. Rev. Actual. Investig. Educ [online]. 2014, vol.14, n.3, pp.01-24. ISSN 1409-4703.

This mix approach study was held with a subject group consisting of preschool and primary teachers from an educational center located in the Metropolitan Area of Costa Rica, between 2010 and 2011. The aim was to investigate the perceptions of the teachers about the factors that promote or inhibit the coexistence between the families of their students. Likewise, the strategies implemented at the classrooms to promote coexistence were consulted. The collection of information consisted of several questionnaires, a focus group, and a likert scale. Regarding the results, a wide but shallow perception of the topic could be evidence, as the staff discourse is not based on theory but it every day experiences. They seem to experiment an overload in their educating functions considering that the families are no longer educating their children to promote coexistence.

Keywords : Coexistence; teaching/famlily; socialization; culture of peace; Costa Rica.
