GONCALVES, Josiane Peres  and  EGGERT, Edla. Structured X unstructured: family perceptions among education professionals. Rev. Educ. Questão [online]. 2019, vol.57, n.54, e18034.  Epub Feb 10, 2020. ISSN 1981-1802.  https://doi.org/10.21680/1981-1802.2019v57n54id18034.

At school, it is common to hear comments about "structured" or "unstructured" families. With the need to understand this reality, we seek to understand what education professionals mean when they use the terms "family" or "structure". The theoretical framework is based on research by Colus & Lima (2007), Lazzari (2014), Moreira & Toneli (2014), among others, which deal with these themes. Data collection was performed in three cities of Mato Grosso do Sul with a total of six women, three teachers and three school managers. The results show that the families seen as "structured" are those that follow the traditional model, composed of father, mother and child(ren), while all other family arrangements are seen as "unstructured". However, we question that what characterizes a family as unstructured are attitudes and behaviors, or the lack of safety and protection for all members, and there is no direct relationship with the different forms of family arrangements.
