Family environment and its influence on school coexistence of students at the Basic Education level (Original)

Abstract

School coexistence is a fundamental factor for the comprehensive development of students, affecting their emotional, social, and academic well-being. Given this scenario, the family environment appears as the primary socializing agent, influencing the formation of values, attitudes, and behaviors that children transfer to the school setting. Therefore, this study analyzes the influence of the family environment on the school coexistence of elementary school students, aiming to design an improvement proposal that fosters positive interpersonal relationships in the educational setting. A qualitative methodology, with a descriptive-exploratory design, was applied to characterize the family factors that influence school coexistence and describe observable patterns of school interaction related to the family environment. To this end, interviews were conducted with teachers, parents, and students. The results demonstrated that domestic disintegration and violence, coupled with poor emotional communication and lack of support in school activities, are closely linked to disruptive behaviors and socialization difficulties among students. These results indicate the need to strengthen family-school relationships to implement strategies that improve coexistence and school climate. Consequently, an intervention proposal was designed and validated to promote effective communication and family support, in order to foster a harmonious school environment. It is concluded that the importance of collaboration between parents, teachers, and students contributes to enriching coexistence.
