Abstract:
The present article analyses how parents’ participation in family education, applied as a successful educational action in learning communities, encourages them to improve their own learning and foster their children’s academic performance and their willingness to learn. Family members learn so that their children’s learning can improve. The data provided have been collected and analysed from fieldwork within the framework of the EDUFAM R&D&I project: improving the education system by educating family members in vulnerable groups.
