SERRANO-ARENAS, Denys; OCHOA-CERVANTES, Azucena y ARCOS-MIRANDA, Evaristo. Conceptualizations, perspectives and reference points for participation in elementary schools, Mexico. Rev.latinoam.cienc.soc.niñez juv [online]. 2019, vol.17, n.2, pp.35-57. ISSN 1692-715X. https://doi.org/10.11600/1692715x.17202.
This paper reviews the conceptualizations of participation among children aged between five and eight years old, their teachers and their family members in three elementary schools in urban marginalized areas of Mexico. A quasi-ethnographic method was used for the description and interpretation of the meanings identified in individual interviews, focal groups and children’s drawings. The information was reviewed using a process involving categorical content analysis. The results indicate that as the children progress through their schooling process, the meanings related to participation are limited to issuing opinions when requested by teachers. Adult-centrism and obedience norms are identified as obstacles that limit the construction of inclusive schools. The authors conclude that it is imperative to generate dialogues between the conceptual reference points about child participation in family and educational spaces.
