ABSTRACT

Family participation and involvement in schools has been reported to be crucial for improving academic achievement and social cohesion, especially among those systematically excluded such as migrants or the Roma population. However, these families often participate less in school life. This hinders any attempt to reverse the cycle of inequality experienced in Europe by the Roma and migrant population, among others. This study focuses on a specific school that has successfully engaged Roma and migrant families. Particularly, this case study aims to identify the characteristics of the relationship that the Roma and migrant families have with the school and the way that parents’ involvement in the education of their children has been promoted. The main results show that the participation of these families has been fostered by a strong collaboration constructed with egalitarian dialogue, trust and confidence-based relationships, and having a shared purpose of ensuring high-quality education for all children.

摘要

据报道，家庭的参与和学校的参与对于提高学业成绩和社会凝聚力至关重要，特别是在移民或罗姆人等被系统排斥的家庭中。但是，这些家庭通常很少参与学校生活。这阻碍了任何旨在扭转罗姆人和移民人口等在欧洲经历的不平等循环的尝试。这项研究的重点是一所成功让罗姆人和移民家庭参与的特殊学校。特别是，本案例研究旨在确定罗姆人和移民家庭与学校之间关系的特征，以及促进父母参与对其子女的教育的方式。
