Percepciones de padres y docentes sobre la Autoridad Parental y su Influencia en la Formación de Valores en niños de 5 años en una escuela católica de Guayaquil

Abstract

Abstract:This research addressed the issue of parents' and teachers' perceptions of parental authority and its influence on the formation of values in 5-year-old children, given that there is a lack of authority in families and this is reflected in the lack of value formation. The main objective of the research was to analyze the perceptions of both parents and teachers regarding the authority exercised in family and school contexts, taking into account its influence on the formation of values. The study was conducted in a private educational institution in the canton of Guayas, with the participation of teachers and parents of first-year General Basic Education students, selected through intentional sampling. A qualitative-quantitative approach with a non-experimental design was adopted. The techniques used were structured observation and interviews, and the instruments used were an observation sheet and a structured interview guide. According to the analysis, it was concluded that parental authority is built on a balance between structure and effective support, which in turn allows values to be experienced in everyday life.
