Resumen

Esta investigación analiza el currículum educativo familiar atendiendo a dos aspectos sustanciales del mismo: a) la selección de actividades cotidianas en las que el niño participa, tanto a diario como en dias de fiesta, y b) la secuencia organizativa de dichas actividades en la jornada familiar. En ambos casos, se estudia en qué medida las teorías implícitas de los padres están relacionadas con el contenido y organizació n secuencial de dichas actividades. Concretamente, se seleccionaro n las teorías implícitas ambientalistas y constructivi stas para estudiar su incidencia en la configuración de dichos aspectos del currículum familiar. La muestra estuvo compuesta por 70 madres con hijos de edades comprendidas entre los 7 y 11 años. Por último, se analiza la calidad del entorno educativo de las madres constructivistas y ambientalistas, teniendo en cuenta el tipo de currículum familiar. Los resultados indican que ambos tipos de teorías están relacionadas con la selección de actividades que realizan los hijos y su organización secuencial a lo largo de la jornada, lo que contribuye a configurar entornos educativos con peculiaridades bien diferenciadas.
