Este estudo teve como objetivo analisar e compreender as perceções que os alunos do Mestrado em Educação Pré-Escolar e do Mestrado em Educação Pré-Escolar e 1º CEB têm, relativamente ao envolvimento parental, no que concerne às principais atividades que possam promover este envolvimento, dificuldades que pensam que existem na sua promoção e benefícios que possam advir em trabalhar com as famílias. Foram enviados questionários para várias Instituições que tivessem os mestrados em funcionamento, resultando na nossa amostra de 280 participantes de instituições de diferentes regiões do país. Para a recolha usaram-se questionários compostos por questões abertas sobre diferentes aspetos do envolvimento parental (ações, dificuldades, benefícios) e uma escala de autoeficácia. Os resultados mostraram que os estudantes destes mestrados mencionaram várias atividades com um foco maior em atividades realizadas em contexto escolar (e.g. participação em festas escolares, hora do conto), dificuldades principalmente centradas em torno da família (e.g. falta de tempo, pouco interesse) e vários benefícios principalmente para a criança (e.g. melhores resultados académicos, mais motivação), que vão de encontro ao que consta na literatura. Os resultados apontaram também que os sujeitos se percecionam como eficazes na promoção do envolvimento parental.
This study aimed to analyze and understand the perceptions that students of the Master in Preschool Education and the Master in Preschool Education and Elementary School have, regarding parental involvement, concerning the main activities that can promote this involvement, difficulties that they think exist in their promotion and benefits that may come from working with families. Questionnaires were sent to various institutions with master's degrees in action, resulting in our sample of 280 participants from institutions from different regions of the country. Questionnaires were composed by questions about different aspects of parental involvement (actions, difficulties, benefits) and a self-efficacy scale. The results showed that students of these masters mentioned several activities with a greater focus on activities carried out in the school context (e.g. participation in school parties, tale time), difficulties mainly centered around the family (e.g. lack of time, little interest) and several benefits mainly for the child (e.g. better academic results, more motivation), which are in line with the literature. The results also pointed out that the subjects perceive themselves as effective in promoting parental involvement.
