The objective of the study is to identify the relationship between academic self-concept, motivation and school involvement according to gender and country. 1,101 students participated in it, distributed among 366 men and 725 women from different universities in the Dominican Republic and Spain. The AUDIM, CEAM II and SEM questionnaires were administered to this population to measure academic self-concept, motivation and school involvement, respectively. In this study it was possible to verify that, if there is a relationship between the variables of academic self-concept and school involvement with school motivation and that said relationship is greater in the Dominican Republic, as well as greater in women than in men., El autoconcepto y la motivación tienen relación con la implicación escolar, lo que generalmente da paso a un mejor rendimiento académico, de esta manera, mientras mejores calificaciones se logran, mayor será la implicación en el aprendizaje. El objetivo de este estudio es identificar la relación entre el autoconcepto académico, motivación e implicación escolar en función del sexo y el país. En el mismo participan 1101 estudiantes distribuidos en 366 hombres y 725 mujeres de distintas universidades de República Dominicana y España. A dicha población se le administraron los cuestionarios AUDIM, CEAM II y SEM para medir el autoconcepto académico, la motivación y la implicación escolares respectivamente, por tanto, se ha implementado una metodología de alcance cuantitativo. Como resultado, en este estudio se pudo comprobar que sí existe una relación entre las variables de autoconcepto académico, motivación y la implicación escolar y que dicha relación es mayor en República Dominicana. También, los resultados muestran que es mayor en las mujeres que en los hombres.

Parental involvement has consistently been associated with a child’s academic performance. However, much less is known about the effects of parental involvement of Hispanic English language learners (ELLs) in high schools. This study addressed parental involvement of Hispanic ELLs in the high school setting where there is currently very little research. The purpose was to test the theory of overlapping spheres as it relates parental involvement to high school grade point average (GPA) of Hispanic ELLs. The research design for this study was a non-experimental, correlational design. The participants of this study were a convenience sample of parents of Hispanic ELLs from five high schools located in central North Carolina. Parents completed the Parent-Teacher Involvement Questionnaire (PTIQ) and student GPAs were calculated at the end of the spring semester. A multiple regression analysis was used to analyze the predictive level of each sub-scale of the PTIQ on GPA. The linear combination of predictor variables were found to be significantly related to high school GPA. Frequency of parent-teacher contact, school involvement (volunteering), and parent endorsement were also significant predictors of GPA. Day & Dotterer (2018) also found that among Hispanic adolescents, parents should use a combination of parental involvement strategies to include academic socialization, home-based involvement, and school-based involvement as it was linked to higher GPAs. Recommendations for further research include using a different instrument, using multiple reports, and combining quantitative and qualitative research, and then replicating this study in additional school districts across the United States.

El enfoque de los Fondos de Conocimiento, cuyo origen antropológico se remonta al estudio de las relaciones de confianza entre hogares mexicanos constituidos en la frontera con los EE. UU., se ha consolidado en muchos países como un modelo efectivo para el trabajo con familias en riesgo de exclusión social. Se trata de recoger los recursos culturales familiares para convertirlos en saberes susceptibles de ser incorporados en la escuela. El presente trabajo tiene como objetivo estudiar los Fondos de Conocimiento como marco teórico para el diseño de programas socioeducativos, que fomenten la implicación de las familias gitanas en la educación de sus hijos. Para ello, utilizamos una metodología de carácter descriptivo a partir del análisis de los principales estudios teóricos llevados a cabo sobre esta temática tanto a nivel nacional como internacional, concretamente en Norteamérica, donde este enfoque ya cuenta con una trayectoria reconocida. De los resultados se deriva la idoneidad de los Fondos de Conocimiento de las familias gitanas como base para el diseño de propuestas de educación inclusiva que promuevan la implicación de estas en la educación de sus hijos favoreciendo con ello sus posibilidades de éxito educativo. Bajo esta lógica, ha de tenerse en cuenta el respeto por la historia y la incorporación de sus voces en el ideario político y social, en aras de mejorar las relaciones entre familia y escuela, y con ello, el rendimiento académico del alumnado, reconociendo su papel como sujetos de derechos, con la finalidad de fomentar una mayor inclusión de la comunidad gitana en los centros escolares, The Funds of Knowledge approach, whose anthropological origins date back to the study of trust relationships between Mexican households constituted on the border with the US, has established itself in many countries as an effective model for working with families at risk of social exclusion. It involves collecting family and cultural resources and turning them into knowledge that can be incorporated into schools. This paper is aimed at studying the Funds of Knowledge as a theoretical framework for the design of socio-educational programs, which encourage the involvement of Roma families in their children’s education. To this end, we use a descriptive methodology based on the analysis of the main theoretical studies carried out on the subject both nationally and internationally, specifically in North America, where this approach has already had a recognized trajectory. The results show the suitability of the Funds of Knowledge of Roma families as a basis for the design of proposals for inclusive education. This type of education promotes their involvement in the education of their children, thereby promoting their chances of educational success. Under these considerations, the respect for their history and bringing their voices into the political and social ideology must be taken into account, in order to improve relationships between family and school and, along with it, the academic performance of students, recognizing their role as subjects of rights, with the purpose of promoting greater inclusion of the Roma community in schools

This text is a part of the results of a research on Education aimed at reflecting not only on the representations of teachers and managers of a school which calls itself a Research School, but also on the relationship between its practices and the construction of its students’ knowledge. The methodological pressures carried out were: semi-structured interviews with 5 managers, 8 teachers and 10 former students, as well as documentary analyses and participant observation. The theoretical perspective that we sought to follow was dialectical anthropology, based on the works of Henri Lefebvre, to whom the representations are formed between what is lived and what is conceived by certain individuals. The unfolding of this innovative school’s actions provided the teachers with the opportunity to fill in a unique gap -the one of the subjects of creation., O presente texto é parte integrante dos resultados de uma pesquisa em Educação que se propõe a refletir tanto sobre as representações de professores e gestores de uma escola que se autointitula Escola Pesquisadora como também sobre a relação entre suas práticas e a construção de conhecimento de seus alunos. Os procedimentos metodológicos empreendidos foram: entrevistas semiestruturadas com 5 gestores, 8 professores e 10 alunos egressos, bem como análises documentais e observação participante. A perspectiva teórica que se buscou seguir foi a antropologia dialética, a partir da obra de Henri Lefebvre, para quem as representações se formam entre o vivido e o concebido de sujeitos determinados. O desdobramento das ações dessa escola inovadora proporcionou aos professores a ocupação de um lugar diferenciado: o de sujeitos de criação., El texto es parte de los resultados de una investigación en Educación que se propone reflejar sobre las representaciones de profesores y gestores de una escuela que se llama a sí mismo Escuela Investigadora, así como sobre la relación entre sus prácticas y la construcción de conocimiento de sus alumnos. Los procedimientos metodológicos emprendidos fueron: entrevistas semiestructuradas con 5 gestores, 8 profesores y 10 alumnos egresados, análisis documentales y observación participante. La perspectiva teórica que se buscó seguir fue la antropología dialéctica, a partir de la obra de Henri Lefebvre, para quien las representaciones se forman entre lo vivido y lo concebido de sujetos determinados. El desdoblamiento de las acciones de esa escuela innovadora proporcionó a los profesores la ocupación de un lugar diferenciado: el de sujetos de creación.
