Profundizando en la transición entre educación infantil y educación primaria: la perspectiva de familias y profesorado

The work aims to know the perspective maintained by families and teachers in relation to different elements of the transition process between Childhood Education and Primary Education: its importance or transcendence, the changes that occur and the challenges faced by the children, as well as the mechanisms and actions implemented by the centers to encourage it. 460 families and professors participated in the study completing a questionnaire. The results show the existence of a significant gap in thinking about the importance and transcendence given to the transitions that are experienced in early childhood between families and teachers despite also finding other aspects converging. Considering these findings, the generation of educational transition programs adapted to the needs and demands of each school which encourage the participation of all the people involved in this important process.
