As we’ve seen in the previous section, supporting the learning process in the family environment on a regular basis is a key aspect in the education of our children. Given its importance, different methods and ways of doing it have been developed, from the traditional methods of passive participation, to the most innovative active participation.
According to Morrison, Storey and Zhang, this fact can occur in different levels, from a simple communication, to the complete collaboration:
These methods can help us to observe how there is an evolutionary line within the forms of family-school participation, that can be divided into two large groups, depending on whether it is a passive or active participation:
Passive Participation
Active participation
It is important highlighting the need to move towards active participation methods, since these are the ones that really consolidate and build true family-school cooperation, because "[...] when parents participate actively in the school, the children increase their academic performance, and, in addition, the centre improves their educational quality." (Martínez González, 1992).
