FAMILY, EDUCATION AND SOCIAL CONSTRUCTIVISM
FAMILY, EDUCATION AND SOCIAL CONSTRUCTIVISM

Summary/Abstract: It can be considered that the educational function of family has declined considerably in the contemporary society - due to the women’s action outside the domestic area, the increased professional requirements imposed on the labor market, the high level of competitiveness, the difficulties in finding and keeping a job etc., this function being largely taken over by specialized institutions. However, the empirical observations and specialized studies on school-family collaboration argue the opposite, namely that the evolution of society and, consequently, the education system has not led to a parenting resignation but, on the contrary, it has stimulated the family involvement in their children's education, requiring a redefinition of family-society relationship.
