Fostering the Family-School Relationship with a Web-Based Application

Abstract

This work describes the design of a Web application that allows not only the communication of families with schools but also their immersion in the learning process of their children, so they can contribute in its mediation. To develop this project, an analysis of the needs of teachers in relation to communication with families was needed. To this end, a pilot study has been carried out with 40 teachers of pre-school and primary education and a low-cost information system has been developed. The results obtained reveal that the use of this platform has been useful and effective to enhance the communication process with families and to make them participate in the teaching and learning process of their children.
