Abstract
La reflexión sobre la que gira el presente artículo
se basa en el encuentro que se produce entre las familias
inmigrantes y la escuela primaria italiana cuando
escolarizan a sus hijos e hijas (de 6 a 11 años) en ella.
La investigación se ha cursado desde el año 2009 al
2011 y ha tenido como objetivo recopilar información
sobre las expectativas, representaciones, problemas y
necesidades no expresadas por las familias inmigrantes
en su relación con la institución escolar del país de
acogida. En total se entrevistaron a 20 familias (en la
mayoría de los casos sólo a las madres) que provenían
de distintos continentes (Europa del Este, África, Asia
y América Latina). A través de esta técnica se exploraron
los aspectos clave y recurrentes, tanto en sentido
negativo como positivo, que emergían de las descripciones
realizadas por las familias inmigrantes sobre su
relación con la escuela italiana. Los datos que se han
recogido han permitido confirmar aspectos que se habían
evidenciado con anterioridad y proponer estrategias
de intervención específicas. Igualmente, dichos
datos sugieren estructurar una investigación cualitativa
más amplia relativa a los procesos de integración
socioeducativa de las familias inmigrantes y al papel
que la institución escolar juega en ese sentido.
The reflection which informs the present article has as its object the encounter between immigrant families and Italian primary schools (students’ ages: 6-11 years old). The research carried out during 2009-2011 attempted to gather data that would lead to a better understanding of expectations, representations, unexpressed needs and problems of immigrant families in the encounter between schools in the host country. Twenty parents (mothers) from various continents (East Europe, Africa, Asia, Latin America) were interviewed. This was an exploratory investigation to identify recurrent critical nodes and positive aspects in the relationship with Italian primary schools through descriptions made by immigrant parents. The data collected led us to confirm already known aspects, to suggest intervention strategies and to give structure to further qualitative research on a larger scale concerning processes of socio-educational integration of immigrant families and the role of schools in carrying out these processes.
