Abstract

The transformation of the Primary School requires spaces where a constructivist, participative and popular education is offered, in which the critical, reflective and participative thinking of the students originates, in which the teacher fulfills the role of facilitator and promoter of the participation, as well as the participation of students, parents, and representatives. That is why the Citizen Participation allows the strengthening of the capacities of individuals, groups and organizations. However, at the Dolores González State Basic School, low levels of participation of parents, mothers and representatives in the teaching process and other pedagogical activities were evidenced. The general objective was based on generating a theory centered on citizen participation as a way to approach the transformative action of the School-Community integration. The epistemological approach of the study was located in the phenomenology and as a method the phenomenological was used, the techniques used were the in-depth interview and the observation. The key informants included four teachers and four parents and representatives. As fundamental findings it is appreciated that citizen participation from the school-community relationship is scarce, limited only to the administrative actions of the school, namely attendance at meetings, withdrawal of information slips. As recommendations are suggested, the involvement of the family to benefit the coexistence and a favorable socio-affective climate for the free integral development of the students.

La Participación Ciudadana como vía para abordar la acción Transformadora de la Escuela Primaria

 

Resumen

La transformación de la Escuela Primaria requiere de espacios donde se brinde una educación constructivista, participativa y popular, en la que se origine el pensamiento crítico, reflexivo y participativo de los estudiantes, en el que el docente cumpla el rol de facilitador y promotor de la participación, así como de la participación de los estudiantes, padres, madres y representantes. Es por ello, que la Participación Ciudadana permite el fortalecimiento de las capacidades de las personas, grupos y organizaciones. Sin embargo, en la Escuela Básica Estadal Dolores González, se evidenció bajos niveles de participación de padres, madres y representantes en el proceso de enseñanza y demás actividades pedagógicas. El objetivo general se basó en generar una teoría centrada en la participación ciudadana como vía para abordar la acción transformadora de la integración Escuela-Comunidad. El enfoque epistemológico del estudio se ubicó en la fenomenología y como método se utilizó el fenomenológico, las técnicas usadas fueron la entrevista a profundidad y la observación. Los informantes claves comprendieron cuatro docentes y cuatro padres y representantes. Como hallazgos fundamentales se aprecia que la participación ciudadana desde la relación escuela-comunidad es escasa, limitándose únicamente a las acciones administrativas del plantel, a saber, asistencia a reuniones, retiro de boletas informativas. Como recomendaciones se sugiere, la implicación de la familia para beneficiar la convivencia y un clima socioafectivo favorable para el libre desarrollo integral de los estudiantes.

1.    Introduction

Participation is today a topic of great interest for social organizations, public institutions, educational centers and universities. Therefore, it is thus constituted in a common space of interest among several social agents. At present, social and civic participation in the different processes of Venezuelan life is valid in the socio-political context, for which the State frames the principles of participatory and protagonist democracy. Mosonyi (2007: 272) states: "Now, if the key to progress lies in collective autonomous participation, it is necessary that from now on, and immediately, communities and voluntary associations begin their process of self-management, using all available means".

 

Likewise, Rey and Santamaría (2010): state that Collaborate means working with other people in the same task. To participate is to have a part in something. From this perspective, to collaborate is to get involved in the task, it is to have a common project and to take care of it, it is a duty rather than a right and it is related to the mission of the center. Participation is, above all, a constitutional right, and is fundamentally related to organization, structure and control.

 

Now, the schools are making efforts to generate a process of educational quality, assume as part of their daily practice the aspects that they consider positive for the achievement of the transformation of the school, taking for it the participation of all the entities that make up the educational process, call managerial staff, teachers, students, parents, representatives, then called as participant citizenship of the educational object. It is necessary to emphasize that, with respect to citizenship, (Borja, 2002-2003: 176): refers to the "group of individuals of a State, with access to the accumulation of rights and political duties that each one of them has".

 

Regarding the transformative action, it is the school's responsibility not only to educate the child, but to extend its action to all the entities that comprise it: parents, mothers, representatives and the community in general; looking for ways to make more effective the incorporation of all of them so that they are linked to society in a dynamic, responsible and creative way.

 

The relationship between the State, the school and the teachers constitutes the essence of the doctrine of the Teaching State, and this in turn is the philosophical, political and social support of the curriculum. Primary Education is the second level of the Venezuelan educational system, its purpose is to contribute to the integral formation of children and adolescents, through the development of their creative potential and the full exercise of their personality. Bolivarian National Curriculum: Diseño curricular del sistema educativo bolivariano (2007).

 

Continuing with the Curricular Design, it is to affirm, that the vision of the school is to achieve the integral formation of each human being in a set of values ​​such as, the full knowledge of the roots and the historical heritage as a people. Training in, for and for democracy through participation, conscious and supportive through the processes of social transformation and management of public affairs, respectful of the laws and of cultural and ethnic plurality. Training in, for and for work, co-responsible in its training process, as well as the development of its investigative and innovative capacity in scientific, humanistic, technical, technological and artistic know-how, at the service of society, through a flexible curriculum and contextualized.

 

That is why, it is up to all educational actors to deepen the curricular changes that are wanted, to make it practical, coherent, in correspondence with the needs of the country and appropriate to reality. Be part of a thorough evaluation of the school situation to create the school based on the protagonist participation and joint responsibility of all. As part of the actions aimed at strengthening school work through the evaluation process, with the firm purpose of improving educational achievement and transforming the curriculum, self-evaluation is considered as a point of reference to guide reflection and diagnose the school situation.

 

According to the previous arguments that have been made, in Venezuelan society there is a need for citizen participation and its transformation, as in any other changing and complex society, so that schools are making an effort to generate a process of changes.

 

In the case of the Bolivarian State of Miranda and the schools attached to the Regional Executive are those that benefit most from this process of educational transformation that seeks quality and excellence, as it feeds on the general guidelines issued by the Ministry of Popular Power for Education in the way of a Bolivarian curricular design but also of the policy that guides the General Directorate of Education of the Regional Executive in which the participation of parents, mothers and representatives is the basis for their development.

 

All this conjunction of guidelines of both educational entities, make state schools develop various activities in favor of educational transformation, this is evident in regional programs: Comprehensive Reading and Social Literacy Program (Batteries), Cheer up with Mathematics (ANIMATE), Peace Promoters, My School Feeding Program, (MIPAE), School of School Directors, Schools for Parents and National Programs. Manos a la Siembra, Canaima Program, Bolivarian Societies, School Councils, Bicentennial Collection. All of them inserted in the PEIC (integral community educational project) and in turn in the classroom pedagogical projects (PPA).

 

In the educational institution of Primary Education "Dolores González" attached to the Educational Region Independence of the Regional Executive of the Bolivarian State of Miranda, through informal conversations and direct observation in fieldwork, it is evident in this low levels of participation of parents, mothers and representatives in the teaching process and other pedagogical activities carried out within the school through the aforementioned programs, that is, there is little evidence of this commitment through responsibilities assumed with the teacher and the student when sharing teaching-learning activities and evaluation.

 

It is to assert that parents, mothers and representatives, do not contribute ideas related to aspects that are taken into account in the evaluation of the school and in teacher planning, such as attending workshops for parents, receiving information for the elaboration of assignments in home, work together with children in the classroom, collaborate with the execution of practical work with the school, among others referred to the aforementioned.

 

In this same order and direction, in the planning, execution and evaluation of the classroom pedagogical project, there is no evidence of this commitment of responsibilities assumed with the teacher and the student when sharing support activities on behalf of the representative, related to the aforementioned.

 

Coupled with this, the absence of the community in cultural activities, acts, maintenance of common areas, repair of environments, resources, furniture, among others that benefit its represented.

 

In the same way, through the direct observation of the researcher during daily activities it is observed: apathy, demotivation, generalized disinterest on the part of teachers, workers and administrative personnel to perform their performances and face everyday problems.

 

It is observed in them the lack of love for work, the lack of sense of belonging and strategies to encourage citizen participation of the representative and the community in general, basing their work only on teaching within the classrooms with their students, without wanting to participate in nothing else.

 

For all these reasons, it is evident that the school does not approach and take possession of its community and there is no permanent training center for cultural change, despite the great efforts being made by the government entities described above.

 

It must be said that there is not a teacher committed to his performance, who serves as a model of efficient worker, who plans activities that contain work routines that bring the community closer and enrich themselves, at the same time they do not provide the inputs to conceive the profile of the citizen that is desired, since there is a teacher focused only on instruction and not on creation, the rediscovery and application of knowledge that allows the solution of problems.

 

Based on the above, the study that was developed was aimed at: Generating a theory focused on citizen participation as a way to address the transformative action of the school, with the articulation of the elements that contribute to educational quality, specifically in the educational institutions of Primary Education attached to the Educational Region Independence of the Regional Executive of the Bolivarian State of Miranda.

 

From the previous context, the following questions arise:

What is the meaning of what teachers attribute to citizen participation for the achievement of transformative action?

 

What elements intervene in citizen participation in the context of the Primary School from the perspective of parents and representatives?

 

What is the process of the transforming action that takes place in the school-community integration?

 

What are the emerging categories of citizen participation to address the transformative action of school-community integration?.

 

What are the elements that make up a theory focused on citizen participation to address the transformative action of school - community integration in the institutions attached to the Educational Region Independence of the Regional Executive of the Bolivarian State of Miranda?

 

2. Referential Framework

2.1. Citizen participation

Citizen participation is a process through which the inhabitants of a nation have the right to intervene individually or collectively, in the various common actions for making decisions about public affairs that affect the political, economic and social.

 

Likewise, citizen participation is the process that integrates the citizen in decision-making, control, control and execution of actions in public and private affairs, to enable him or her to fully develop as a human being and that of the community in which unwrap.

 

In this sense Pérez and Salazar (2009), points out that:

Citizen Participation is the essential participation of all men and women who want to be involved in the problems that affect them, providing points of view, concerns and solutions. Citizen Participation is the act of, being a citizen, intervening in the public and private life of the country (p.101).

 

According to the aforementioned, it is understood that citizen participation; Being subject to the process of transformation that is achieved through strategic responses that drive to compensate the needs and demands of the nation, valuing the integrity of the community as a manager in community action in order to provide more productive training.

 

However, the explicit objectives of citizen participation in Public Administration can be organized from three areas: economic, political and administrative. This is how they are detailed below: (Fermín, 2003).

 

In the economic area: The main objective is the possibility that citizens and organized society can direct public spending, control the quality of investment and efficiency of use.

 

In the political area: The main objective is the democratization of the political system, that is, the expansion of political subjects to citizens, communities and social organizations of different types. It is necessary to point out that the democratization of the political system begins from the bottom up with the implementation at the national level of the Local Councils of Public Planning (CLPP) and the State Councils for Planning and Coordination of Public Policies (CEPCPP). These will be the first instances of participation and decision in the public affairs of the State in the municipal territorial dimension.

 

In the administrative area: Transparency and mass dissemination of decision-making processes. The moralization of public administration through social control and the permanent observation of citizens.

 

Based on the above, it is argued that citizen participation in economic, administrative and political affairs is part of the creation of a new culture of direct commitment of citizens, communities and society organized with the State, public managers and the social policies of collective interest, where a solution to the problems confronted by the community is offered.

 

In this context, all actors must be involved in the transformative action not only of the communities to which they belong but in each of the institutions immersed in these communities, such is the school that forms a fundamental element for participation.

 

2.2. Transformative Action of the Primary School

The educational transformation with criteria of quality and social relevance, demands to generate that all its actors are really benefited and can be effectively incorporated into the socio-productive sector, because it is based on social relevance, linked to the strategic line of the Simón Bolívar National Project, Socialist Plan - PPS (2007-2013), where it is necessary to create precedents for a new socio-productive-political and ideological model, inclusive and guarantor of the formation of the new citizen.

 

Likewise, a social transformation must take place, where the transformation of the educational model is fundamental, therefore, the synergy of educational institutions is crucial to achieve an academic offer with social relevance, quality, equity, inclusion, to train citizens with ethics, professionalism and humanistic criteria.

 

Thus, the educational institutions of the country need to focus their approach to citizen participation and contribute based on the realization of social projects that benefit the school and the surrounding context, addressed from the community-school relationship from participation, as possibility of building or developing both tacit and explicit knowledge from the knowledge dialogue.

 

Everything expressed above, as an emancipating element, giving result to the knowledge that is enriched with the incorporation of the diversity of visions and worldview of each and every one of those involved in that process, teachers, students, community, thus achieving consolidate the macro structure that is required in order to consolidate the progress of knowledge, knowledge and learning in the educational establishments.

 

Consequently, by having education a relevant role as a dynamic agent and strengthening of the transformative processes in society, the formal education system plays an essential role in the management of citizen participation particularly in the construction of knowledge and skills development, attitudes and values ​​that integrate the social with their interactions, including solidarity, social justice, cooperation, equity, teamwork, tolerance, respect for life and diversity, acting, among others .

 

Obviously, current education requires a constructivist, participatory and popular education at the service of the needs of society where critical, reflective and participatory thinking of students is promoted in order to produce a multidirectional education, where the teacher fulfills the role as facilitator and promoter of participation, as well as the integration of all students with the social reality that lives in the school and the community where they live.

 

Now, under such premises it is not possible to understand the construction of transforming knowledge in another perspective that is not that of active subjects in the investigation of their reality. Therefore, in dialogical education students tend to reflect on their own situation and are an active part of the entire educational process.

 

It can be argued that, in the transformation of the primary school, the student needs to be the main actor of their own development, acting autonomously in their learning and in the self-realization of their being in the future.

 

In this way the teacher must maintain this vision and act in such a way that this school can have the appropriate basis to achieve this goal, this teacher with a vision of the future should intertwine citizen participation by introducing new strategies including inclusion in their practice of parents in this development.

 

In addition, it can be added that education is advancing in a policy synthesized in Quality Education for all, which implies strengthening the educational attention to the student, increasing the coverage and expectation of school life on the one hand, on the other, entering into a process of curricular transformation that implies moving towards an emancipatory and dignifying education within the framework of constitutional principles.

 

3. Methodological Context

3.1. Epistemological Approach applied to Research

From the epistemological approach, the study is based on phenomenology, because it is based on the premise that each human group establishes a functioning and relationship dynamics in a particular way, as well as how it relates to other human groups. As the first exponent, the philosophical school of Husserl, for whom the task of phenomenological philosophy is to constitute philosophy as a rigorous science. In addition, it emphasizes the individual and the subjective experience.

 

On the other hand, Rusque (2003a), points out that phenomenology:

It is an original method, where the interest in research is in the field of conceptual elaboration. The dynamic goes from the concrete reality to the construction of it, allowing intelligibility to make it possible to make explicit its logical form through concepts (p.22).

 

  In this context, the study analyzed the formulation of theoretical elements of citizen participation from a vision of the innovative dynamics in the transformation of the primary school contextualized in the teachers, parents, mothers and representatives of the Primary Education Schools attached to the Region. Educational Independence of the Regional Executive of the Bolivarian State of Miranda.

 

Likewise, considering that from the perspective of phenomenology it was possible to discover and describe the essential essences and relationships existing in reality, specifically in educational institutions, where the different educational, social, and coexistence relationships could be established, of participation and academic action.

         

3.2. Methodological Posture

The methodology of the study was framed in the qualitative paradigm, since it allowed to define the reality as it is lived and perceived in Dolores González State School, highlighting the ideas, experiences, feelings and motivations of teachers, parents, and representatives of said educational institution.

 

This research involved theoretical revision and field work through actions in educational and social practice, to cover the phenomenon under study, analyzed what happens in space and time, in order to find the usual applications and habitual of the actors.

 

However, for the execution of the fieldwork, the first contacts with the key informants were established, which according to Martínez (2006a): suggests that, in the educational field, the possible groups to study would be: the directors, teachers, parents, representatives and the students of the institutions. Each of these groups, depending on the topic to be clarified, would illustrate a facet of the same reality.

 

In this regard, it was possible to select the persons interviewed, choosing as informants or information sources four (4) teachers and four (4) parents, mothers and representatives of the Dolores González State School, Independence Municipality of the Bolivarian State of Miranda, attached to the Educational Region Independence of the Regional Executive of the Bolivarian State of Miranda.

 

Subsequently, for the field work, a chronogram of the activities to be carried out to carry out said work was prepared, then the techniques for the collection of the information were selected, using the in-depth interview and the participant observation; Afterwards, the informants were contacted to establish the date for the application of the interview; Then, through the organization of the information, the collected information was processed, checked, organized and cleaned.

 

3.3. Validity and Reliability of Research

          All research with a qualitative paradigm requires criteria of validity and reliability, since they lead to the truth. To establish reliability, the criterion of Rusque (2003b) was adopted: in which he proposes that the researcher must respect certain rules that allow to increase internal reliability, which are:

- Condensed textual accounts: they are verbal productions of the subjects, word by word.

 

- The researcher's diary where the reflections, ideas, doubts and confessions of work in the field are recorded. This aspect is referred to the field notes taken by the researcher and which are summarized in the semantic networks made to establish the conceptual synthesis.

 

- Consignment of analysis and provisional interpretation.

 

4. Information Analysis Techniques

The procedure for the analysis of the information was made taking into account the phases indicated by Rusque (2010c), which are:

1.- Representation: Through the presentation of explanatory graphs, which will allow explaining the described data.

 

2.- Condensation of the Data, through the interpretation of the same. It requires a systematic and critical reflection of the entire research process.

 

The analysis was based on triangulation, exposed by Martínez (2006b): "what allowed to contrast the data obtained with the opinion of the researchers", that is, a comparison of information was made from three different aspects. According to the Universidad Pedagógica Experimental Libertador (2002), triangulation: "... is one of the most characteristic data analysis techniques of qualitative methodology. The basic principle is to collect and analyze data from different angles to contrast them with each other" (p.120).

 

For this study a methodological triangulation was carried out, where coincidences and divergences were established between the information obtained from the teachers, parents, and representatives.

 

For this reason, the analysis of the reality was a continuous process, interpreting it in the development of the study, in such a way, that all the information collected, allowed to see the coherence, coincidence, inconsistencies between what the interviewees said.

 

Finally, it was theorized through the analysis and interpretation of the investigated context. Martínez (2006c): states that in order to achieve this process, a recipe or a series of established steps are not followed; because the theory is a symbolic, verbal or iconic construction, it is an ideal model which offers an intelligible, systematic and coherent conceptual structure for ordering the phenomena, and a theory is reached through a creative investigation (p.87).

 

5.   Generation of Theory

5.1. Purposes

Contribute to the transformative action of education based on the school-community integration process.

 

Identify the elements necessary for the achievement of the transformative action in education.

 

Describe the elements necessary for the achievement of the transformative action in education.

 

Structure a representative scheme that visualizes the elements transforming action of education from the school-community integration process.

 

5.2. Elements for the Transformative Action based on Citizen Participation between the School and the Community

The generation of a theory centered on Citizen Participation for the Transformation of the school was based on a series of emerging categories, which are described below:

1.- Citizen Participation: People immersed in this participation, require maintaining respect for the rule of law, access to institutional components, information and the confidence of citizens in democratic institutions.

 

2.- School-Community Integration: This integration requires alliances between the educational institution and the community, to carry out joint work in the planning, organization, execution and control of programs or projects to be developed in the school or in the community. .

 

3.- Transformative Action: A school, which establishes synergy and relationship with the local community, with other educational institutions, with the Community Council of the sector, with governmental entities established in the community, such as City Hall, popular organizations such as the Local Committees of Supply and Production (CLAP), the Autonomous Institute National Council for the Rights of Children and Adolescents (IDENA), among others.

 

4.- School Context: Conceived as the scope of the school and the surrounding environment, observing among these factors the location of the community, the economic level of the inhabitants, the services they have in the sector, green or recreational areas; Focusing these on how they affect the academic, emotional and physical performance of students within the school.

 

6. Findings

Depending on the specific objectives and the questions raised, it can be mentioned that citizen participation is the relationship that exists between parents and representatives and the staff of the campus, taking significant actions that help improve both the school and the community in general.

 

- Teachers give an apparent meaning to the actions of parents and representatives on the campus from an educational service, leaving the responsibility to teachers and managers of all educational management, in this sense, citizen participation from the school-community relationship it is scarce, limited only to the administrative actions of the school, namely, attendance at meetings, withdrawal of information slips, complaints due to problems among peers, among others, which makes evident the little importance given to the transforming action of the school.

 

- Citizen participation has elements such as: commitment, responsibility, shared vision of the future, equal rights, collaboration, planning together, teachers, parents and community councils, since the school is not isolated from the community, but rather, is part of it.

 

- The participation strategies that at some point were used have ceased to exist, since the Campus Management is the one that "solves everything" and does not allow the others to participate.

 

- However, from a community perspective, the parents and representatives that make up the voices of the different Communal Councils that surround the sector, show interest in activities outside the school institution and that directly benefits them, such as the preparation of projects community for community improvements, organization and participation in the feeding committee, for the acquisition of food through CLAP.

 

- There is only one service relationship, the school offers a benefit to the community and already, but the community does not return that action, therefore, it can be pointed out that there is no relationship for the transformative action of the educational process and much less of the community, because if the school is not involved as it is advanced.

 

- As long as the community does not assume the commitment and responsibility of the school, there is no transformative action, for this to happen, there must be an articulation between the school and the community, a peaceful coexistence in the sectors, exchange of ideas, that is taken in account to the manager, to the teachers.

 

7. Conclusions

Based on the findings, the author of this research concludes that actions must be taken to achieve the Transformative Action of the School and the Community through the implementation of strategies for the increase of citizen participation, since it will allow the consolidation of work teams, collaboration of parents, mothers and representatives in school work, satisfaction of the expectations of the educational institution and the community, commitment to the goal that propitiates the transformative action of the school and the community.

 

It is fundamental, the involvement of the family to benefit the coexistence and a favorable socio-affective climate for the free integral development of the students, who are also actors for the transformation required by the school and the community.

 

In this sense, for the transforming action to be in the articulation, it is necessary that each educational actor assume a commitment, a responsibility with themselves, since it is an important requirement in the human potential, for this transformation.

 

For the above, it is necessary that parents and representatives participate in the activities carried out at school, in a spirit of motivation, interest, with the greatest disposition for the scope of school-community integration.
