NOGUEIRA, Maria Alice  and  RESENDE, Tânia de Freitas. Family-school relationship in Brazil: a state of knowledge (1997- 2011). Educ. Teoria Prática [online]. 2022, vol.32, n.65, e02. ISSN 1981-8106.  https://doi.org/10.18675/1981-8106.v32.n.65.s15325.

The article presents results of a “state of knowledge” that researched dissertations and theses about family-school relationship, from 1997 to 2011 on Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior’s (CAPES) database. We identified 266 works, of which we analyzed: type (dissertation or thesis), number of texts over time and distribution by areas of knowledge. The texts from Sociology of Education’s area (N= 88) deserved a specific study, in which we identified: theme, theoretical references, methodological procedures and empirical field; main results. Therefore, it was possible to draw a view of Brazilian sociological production on family-school relationship, identifying its main tendencies and gaps, convergent and divergent results. Our findings pointed to an increasing production. The texts focus predominantly on low-income groups, especially on elementary education, with qualitative studies, and a strong influence of French literature. We highlight the need of a stronger critical distancing of the studies regarding their theoretical references.

Keywords : Family-school Relationship; State of Knowledge; Sociology of Education.
