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.
