Resumen

Este artículo ofrece un modelo teórico para explicar el origen de las concepciones de los padres sobre la educación y el desarrollo, y cómo éstas se plasman en la mente de los padres. Se postula que la cultura ofrece un amplio bagaje de concepciones que se transmiten mediante las interacciones que establecen los sujetos en los contextos sociales próximos. No obstante, el papel de la cultura queda regulado por los mecanismos de elaborarcíón de la información que caracterizan el procesamiento humano. Esto se demuestra al analizar, a partir de un conjunto de teorías de gran raigambre cultural, las mezclas coherentes de teorías que asumen los padres. Los objetivos que se persiguen son: a) Elaborar un cuestionario para estudiar las teorías; y b) analizar el papel de los contextos sociales próximos en la selección de las teorías que asumen los padres, destacando el nivel educativo y profesional de los padres así como la zona donde residen, como variables determinantes del tipo de teoría/s que éstos seleccionan.

Abstract

This paper proposes a theoretical model aiming to explain the sources of parents' conceptions on education and the way they are represented in their minds. We assume that culture offers a wide background of conceptions which are transmitted through the interactions which subjects establish in close social context. However, the role of culture is regulated by the information processing mechanisms which characterizes human processing. This is shown when, on the basis of a set of theories with deep cultural roots, the coherent mixture of theories which parents assume were analysed. The objetives to follow were:

a)

To devise a questionnaire to study these theories.

b)

To analyse the role of close social contexts in the selection of theories which parents assume, underlying parents' academic and professional background together with the area in which they live as determinant variables of the type of theory they choose.
