BERNAL ROMERO, Teresita et al. Meanings built by children, family parents and teachers linked to several school institutions of the city of Bogotá about childhood, family and school in the frame of the globalization. Diversitas [online]. 2009, vol.5, n.2, pp.283-306. ISSN 1794-9998.

This study was managed to investigate on the meanings built by children, family parents and teachers about the childhood, the family and the school in the context of the globalization. A survey was applied at a group of 73 children and girls, 52 family parents and 52 teachers that were linked to several school institutions of the city of Bogotá. The results showed convergences and divergences among the three groups of participants concerning their current meaning about the childhood and the school and family interactions. In general, it was observed that the children and, in smaller grade, the family parents tend to a positive valuation of the changes associated with the globalization, while the teachers incline toward more critical postures. The socioeconomic stratum served as variable moderator in some of the meanings expressed by the three groups of participants in the study. In the discussion the implications of these results are analyzed, making special emphasis in the demands and challenges that the school confronts in the frame of the globalization.

Palabras clave : meanings; interactions; childhood; family; school; globalization.
