THE INFLUENCE OF THE FAMILY CONTEXT ON STUDENT¿S BEHAVIOUR IN THE CLASSROOM

Abstract

Society has undergone a series of significant transformations in recent decades that have had a profound impact on family structure and dynamics. Consequently, the diversity of family models has grown, with the increase in divorce being one of the most notable consequences of these changes. The impact of parental divorce on the child is a topic of growing relevance nowadays given the increase in the number of families going through this transition. These events have altered the emotional and psychological development of family members, especially the child, affecting the behaviour in the school environment. Teachers in educational centres, as part of the emotional growth of students, can support this cause with effective techniques to manage negative behaviours in the classroom, creating a more positive and effective learning environment. This project presents an exposition of the concept of family and the models derived according to the number of family members, as well as depending on the fulfilment or non-fulfilment of their roles. Highlighting the family model caused by parental divorce, it is analysed the emotional impact it can have on the child, affecting in the family and school environment and producing the effect of disruptive behaviour. As a pedagogical proposal, it is suggested the use of techniques to manage and improve these behaviours in order to favour the personal and emotional development of the child.
