La educación social como práctica mediadora en las relaciones escuela-comunidad local

La Educacion Social, en su dimension mediadora, puede facilitar los procesos educativos en las escuelas asi como la articulacion de las relaciones entre ellas y las comunidades locales en las que se integran. Desde esta conviccion, analizamos el papel de las instituciones escolares y de las administraciones locales como impulsoras de un proyecto educativo territorial en el que, junto con otros profesionales y agentes comunitarios, los pedagogos y educadores sociales estan llamados a desempenar un papel activo. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Social Education, regarding its dimension as a mediator, can facilitate educational processes at schools, as well as the coordination among them and the local communities where they are located. From this conviction, we analise the role of education institutions and local authorities as driving forces of a territorial education project. Together with other professionals and community agents, educationalists and social educators are set to play an active role on that project.

Conciliación en las áreas urbanas de Galicia (españa): un estudio longitudinal (2009-2015) de las familias con hijos en educación primaria

espanolLa conciliacion es la posibilidad de hacer compatible la vida personal, familiar, profesional y comunitaria; y para ello es necesario impulsar politicas sociales, economicas y de tiempo, asi como estrategias que favorezcan el derecho de presencia y el equilibrio entre dichas esferas. Este planteamiento obliga a repensar la cuestion de la corresponsabilidad, ya que no puede limi¬tarse a la revision de los roles de genero y a un reparto equilibrado de las tareas domesticas y familiares. Se hace necesario un pacto social que integre los mundos laborales, escolares y familiares con el objetivo de respetar los derechos de la infancia y el bienestar familiar. En el periodo estudiado (2009-2015), coincidiendo con la crisis economica y la perdida de poder adquisitivo, se acusan mayores dificultades para que las familias. Se trabajo con un N=1267 en el 2009 y un N=2037 en 2015 con hijos en edad escolar organicen sus tiempos; ademas de constatarse un incremento de la desigualdad en relacion a la gestion de los tiempos cotidianos, con una clara polarizacion respecto a la conciliacion en las siete ciudades gallegas analizadas EnglishReconciliation is the possibility of harmonising work, personal, family and community life; to this effect, it is essential to promote social, economic and time policies, as well as strategies that can enable the right of presence and the balance among the mentioned spheres. This approach compels to rethink the issue of co-responsibility, since it cannot be considered as a mere review of gender roles and as a balanced distribution of family tasks and household chores. We must achieve a social pact involving work, school and family life in order to respect childhood rights and family welfare. In the studied period (2009-2015), concurrent with the financial crisis and the loss of purchasing power, families with school-age children find more difficult to manage their times; besides, an increase of inequalities regarding the distribution of daily times is observed, with a clear polarization referred to reconciliation in the seven analyzed cities in Galicia. We have worked with N=1267 in 2009 and N=2037 in 2015.

Recursos comunitarios y medidas de conciliación de las familias del alumnado de Educación Primaria en Galicia

The article aims to analyze how to reconcile the time Galician families spent with children enrolled in primary school. The results indicate that conciliation measures in the workplace are insufficient for the co-responsibility. Within the community framework, family support and the programs offered by the school constitute fundamental elements for the harmonization of the multiple activities and obligations to which families must respond. The need to promote a change to introduce new models of social organisation that make it possible to harmonise all planes of life is referred to, guaranteeing the compatibility of family time.

Community services and shared responsibility in the conciliation of family timetables: the situation of urban Galician children

SEPA is a research team from the Universidad de Santiago de Compostela, Spain supervised by Professor Jose Antonio Caride and has spent the last 10 years working on questions related to the time allocated to education and social issues 1. The team focuses its studies on the timetables of the school day and its influence in socialization and infant´s quality of life, leisure time, etc. Related to this research line, in 2008 the team started a biannual project for studying difficulties in the conciliation in daily life for families with children who go to primary school, contextualizing it in urban Galicia, Spain. Three subjects have a big presence in the analysis: school times, family life and children’s leisure. In this work we are presenting some of the conclusions of this study, emphasizing the importance of social educative services and family co-responsibility to guarantee the quality of life in childhood.
