Abstract

HENAO-AGUDELO, Claudia; LALUEZA, José Luis  and  TENORIO, María Cristina. Values and educational practices of immigrant families from Latin America to Barcelona: what changes and what stays the same?. Rev.latinoam.cienc.soc.niñez juv [online]. 2016, vol.14, n.1, pp.603-615. ISSN 1692-715X.  https://doi.org/10.11600/1692715x.14141090315.

This study analyses changes in values and educational practices as well as some conditions that mediate these practices among a group of 15 Latin American families residing in Barcelona (Spain). In-depth interviews were conducted with parental figures, mostly mothers, and semi-structured interviews with some of their children. The findings highlight both the persistence of families in instilling values from the cultural traditions of their countries of origin and the need to negotiate new meanings and behaviors and incorporate new strategies and practices. Family composition, parents‘ education, available networks and job inclusion all play a role in the adaptation of families to the contextual and cultural changes that affect the socialization of their children.

Keywords : Migration; socialization; cultural change; value systems; family education.
