Grupo de orientação de pais: entrevista inicial e sua relação com a intervenção

Abstract

The aim of the parent orientation group is to provide opportunity to discuss about children’s education. In this article, there are results from initial interviews which aim to obtain information about the children’s characters and their environment and also to provide opportunity to reflect about the educational practices. The data were collected individually and submitted to content analysis. The results show that the parents describe more negative aspects than positives in their children and do not associate their behaviors with environmental changes. Related to the educational practices, the accounts indicate positive and negative actions and doubts about its usage. Those informations are used to build an intervention planning which goals to contribute to improve the parent’s role as educator.
