PAEZ-MARTINEZ, Ruth Milena. Detours by families in the formation of their children? New roles, same functions. Rev.latinoam.cienc.soc.niñez juv [online]. 2016, vol.14, n.1, pp.261-272. ISSN 1692-715X.  https://doi.org/10.11600/1692715x.14117260215.

As a field of study, the family has not been extensively studied from the area of pedagogy and its educational role has been delegated to non-pedagogical areas. The purpose of tracking the concept of family in diverse disciplines responds to the need to understand its complexity and educational possibilities. This process also required instruments to collect data for the interviews with eigth focus groups consisting of rural families from four different regions of Colombia. This qualitative study, which used a phenomenological-hermeneutic approach, identified that the concept has generally changed and "detoured" from its role in the formation of its children due to external circumstances and as a result, anthropological functions like support are not always possible.

Keywords : family; function of family; children; education; pedagogy; formation.
