Voces del cambio: experiencias de los protagonistas en un enfoque participativo de las transiciones educativas
Resumen
Las experiencias y la participación de todas las personas implicadas en las transiciones educativas son clave para identificar los factores que las facilitan o dificultan. Además, estas experiencias impulsan la mejora continua tanto en el ámbito escolar como en el comunitario. Esta investigación tiene como objetivo comprender y transformar los procesos de transición educativa mediante el método de investigación-acción participativa. Llevado a cabo en un colegio e instituto públicos de Guipúzcoa durante tres cursos académicos, el estudio involucró al alumnado, a sus familias y al profesorado en los procesos de transición. Se recogieron datos a través de cuestionarios a familias, entrevistas al profesorado y técnicas participativas con el alumnado. Las conclusiones del segundo ciclo de investigación revelaron que el diseño de un plan de acción para mejorar las transiciones creó nuevas estructuras para la coordinación de los profesores y provocó cambios en la cultura escolar; también se puso de relieve la importancia de escuchar al alumnado y a sus familias a la hora de diseñar acciones de mejora.
