Travail éducatif à la maison : lien comparatif des pratiques d'accompagnement parentales des élèves des écoles primaires publiques et privées du district d'abidjan en contexte populaire

Abstract EN

This article examines from an ethnological point of view the comparative link between the support practices of parents from working-class backgrounds in monitoring school work at home and the academic performance of pupils in public and private primary schools in the District of Abidjan.

A sample of 60 families and 330 students was determined.

The quantitative results from the statistical analyzes show a significant link with academic success and largely deconstruct the myth of the educational “resignation” of parents from working-class backgrounds.

Furthermore, these results reveal that the support practices of parents from working-class backgrounds differ from one establishment to another, namely from public primary school to private primary school.

This differentiation shows families deeply "worked" by school issues and that psychological and sociological interests orient their daily practices in the direction of a great conformity with educational expectations.

Key words: primary school pupil, comparative link, parents from working-class backgrounds, school performance, Educational work.
