The university-families relationship as educational agents in the training of Pedagogy-Psychology professionals

Abstract

The university and the families as socializing agents are determinant in the development of the personality of young people, they constitute pillars and essential sources in the social processes that are expressed as an irreplaceable referential framework for the formation of a new citizen. The objective of the present article is aimed at diagnosing the university-families relationship in the formation of Pedagogy-Psychology professionals. Theoretical and empirical methods were used to collect and process information on the real state of the object to be investigated. The results obtained reveal that the difficulties in the university-families relationship derive from the insufficient action and theoretical-methodological argumentation in the training of the Pedagogy-Psychology professional to achieve integrality from the participation of families in the university educational process, therefore, the involvement of society in the educational process should be encouraged, to create learning communities, to bring families closer to the university and to increase the sense of belonging to the educational center. It was concluded that integrating the educational influences of the university and the families implies a process of reciprocal communication and cooperation from goals projected towards the integral formation of the professionals; the integrated work of these two contexts elevates the formative process to higher levels.
