CARCAMO VASQUEZ, Héctor. Representation of the role assigned to families in educational matters by pre-service teachers. Acad. (Asunción) [online]. 2025, vol.12, n.3, e1263.  Epub 05-Sep-2025. ISSN 2414-8938.  https://doi.org/10.30545/academo.2025.n3.1263.

This research aims to unveil the social representations that pre-service teachers shape regarding the parental educational role. The study takes place at a public university in the central-southern region of Chile. The methodological approach is qualitative, employing a single case study method. The participants are students enrolled in the first year of the Bachelor of Education in General Elementary Education program. Semi-structured individual interviews conducted in a single session are used for data production. The analysis is carried out using the structural-semantic technique. Findings indicate that the representation shaped by pre-service teachers regarding the parental educational role consists of an academic dimension and a personal dimension. Each of these dimensions is associated with markers of role fulfillment. For the academic dimension, the provision of materials and the fostering of study habits stand out, while for the personal dimension, emotional support, promotion of self-esteem, and student self-regulation are highlighted. Both dimensions configure the representation of the parental educational role about a central core modeled by the parental duty, with markers of fulfillment adjusted to the age of the child.
