“Entre la diáspora y la escuela: estudio cuantitativo sobre las experiencias de familias venezolanas en torno a la escolarización de sus representados en Guayaquil (2021)”

Abstract

The present study aimed to describe the experiences of Venezuelan parents and legal representatives regarding the schooling of their constituents: boys, girls and teenagers, students from fifth to the tenth grade in the city of Guayaquil, in 2021. The research approach was quantitative, and it used an ideographic perspective for the analysis and processing of the data collected through questionnaires from a total of 53 participants. The main findings of the study show that Venezuelan families encounter a series of informal barriers that hinder their process of entering the Educational System of Guayaquil, but when they manage to access the System, their experiences are easier; that they are actively involved in supporting the schooling of their constituents and that teachers are the main interlocutors between educational establishments and families.
