Family participation as an educational policy

The paper presents part of the research called From family logic to school logic: paths and perspectives in children education. This study, as a qualitative approach of etnographic nature, started from the principle that a researcher must be inserted in the social field of the investigation. In this perspective, we tried to stablish the space for dialogue between schools and families, provoking an attentive “listening”, as well as an opportunity to discuss the pluralism of logic and culture of families, and deepen the knowledge about its relations in the educational context. The research pointed out to the necessity of comprehend relationship strategies created by schools, detaching how the confrontation (THIN, 1998) between family and school logic enables the creation of relationship strategies that qualify a school as a place for childcare and education
