Parents' participation in school life and their assessment of the quality of the educational process

Introduction. The importance of parents' participation in school life is theoretically indisputable, but the existing empirical data on the relationship between parental involvement and various educational results are ambiguous, which actualizes more detailed studies. The question of how much the participation of parents and their satisfaction with the school are related to the factor of openness of the school to parents requires empirical study. The purpose of the study is to analyze the levels of their home and organizational involvement, as well as the relationship between the participation of parents in school life, their assessment of the quality of school education and the degree of openness of the school, based on the material of a survey of St. Petersburg parents. Methods. The study is a secondary analysis of data from surveys of parents of students of the 4th, 9th and 11th grades of St. Petersburg schools conducted as part of a comprehensive study of the quality of school education (N=4278). The data were processed in the SPSS program; methods of analyzing paired correlations and cross-tables, reducing the dimension of the feature space by factor analysis, correlation analysis in the space of generalized indices and the construction of correlation graphs, nonparametric criteria for comparing samples were used. The results of the study. The data analysis revealed strong differences between primary school and high school according to such criteria as helping children with homework (52.3% of parents help in primary school and 9.4% in high school every day), proactive communication with the class teacher (59.9% in primary school and 34.1% in high school), as well as parents' assessment of various aspects of the quality of the educational process (significantly higher in primary school). The correlation analysis showed that the organizational involvement of parents, as well as their educational level, do not have significant correlations with the quality assessment, while the level of communication does. The more intensively parents communicate with teachers, the higher they assess the quality of the educational process at school (the correlation is higher for senior classes; r=0.21). A significant influence of the openness of the school on the parents' assessments was also revealed. The higher the openness of the school, the higher the parents rate the quality of the educational process in it (for both primary and high schools, r≥0.3). Conclusion. The obtained conclusions and recommendations can be used in the development of regional and school programs of cooperation between families and schools, to assess the importance, risks and consequences of parents' participation in school life.

O Projeto Político Pedagógico da Escola Municipal Professora Cleuzemi Pereira do Nascimento Silva e sua contribuição na formação inicial dos residentes pedagógicos / The Municipal School's Political Pedagogical Project Professor Cleuzemi Pereira do Nascimento Silva and its contributions to the initial training of pedagogical residents

No Programa Residência Pedagógica os participantes são inseridos numa escola de Educação Básica, objetivando aproximar o futuro docente com a profissão, proporcionando-lhes a prática do cotidiano escolar. Parte-se do pressuposto de que, os estudos sobre o documento normativo da escola, na formação docente, contribuíram para superar fragmentos do trabalho pedagógico aproximando os residentes do ideal de efetivação do PPP. O objetivo desta pesquisa é a reflexão acerca das contribuições do PPP da escola-campo na formação acadêmica dos residentes pedagógicos da Faculdade de Ciências Humanas do Sertão Central. Justifica-se pela necessidade de atuar na escola de forma efetiva a partir da imersão no contexto escolar baseado no Projeto Político Pedagógico da escola. Conclui-se que, tanto o Programa de Residência Pedagógica, como o documento normativo da Escola Professora Cleuzemi Pereira do Nascimento Silva contribuem para o aperfeiçoamento de uma prática mais qualitativa, com base em sua teoria, buscando-se respeito às singularidades, as diferenças. Através da teoria e da prática deseja-se romper com modelos ineficazes de ensino, com isso objetiva-se assegurar aos residentes, habilidades e competências que lhes permitirão realizar um ensino de qualidade nas escolas de Educação Básica em que futuramente forem atuar. Tendo utilizado o método qualitativo, este estudo contempla as teorias de autores que abordam o tema para fundamentar a narrativa dos residentes. De acordo com (LIBANEO, 1990), (NÓVOA, 2009), (VASCONCELOS, 2014) e outros, foi possível confrontar conceitos elucidando questionamentos fundamentais para a realização deste artigo. In the Pedagogical Residency Program, participants are inserted in a Basic Education school, aiming to bring the future teacher closer to the profession, providing them with the practice of everyday school life. It is assumed that studies on the school's normative document, in teacher education, contributed to overcoming fragments of the pedagogical work, bringing residents closer to the ideal of implementing the PPP. The objective of this research is to reflect on the contributions of the PPP of the field-school in the academic training of pedagogical residents at the Faculty of Human Sciences of Sertão Central. It is justified by the need to work effectively in the school from the immersion in the school context based on the School's Pedagogical Political Project. It is concluded that both the Pedagogical Residency Program and the normative document of the School Professor Cleuzemi Pereira do Nascimento Silva contribute to the improvement of a more qualitative practice, based on its theory, seeking respect for singularities and differences. Through theory and practice, the intention is to break with ineffective teaching models, with this aim to assure residents, skills and competences that will allow them to carry out quality teaching in Basic Education schools in which they will work in the future. Having used the qualitative method, this study contemplates the theories of authors who approach the theme to support the residents' narrative. According to (LIBANEO, 1990), (NÓVOA, 2009), (VASCONCELOS, 2014) and others, it was possible to confront concepts elucidating fundamental questions
