• Resumen

  • A descriptive transectional research was carried out, with a parallel mixed design, at the "Epifanio Rojas Gil" Polyclinic, in the period between September and November 2022, with the objective of characterizing the educational styles of the parents/guardians of children who presented school maladjustment. The sample was non-probabilistic, of subject-types, and consisted of the 12 preschool and first grade children who were previously diagnosed with school maladjustment in the first consultation, in the aforementioned period, as well as the 18 parents/guardians who acted as protagonists in the education of these children. The techniques used for the study were: a questionnaire of educational styles and a questionnaire of communication styles to the parents/guardians as well as an interview to the parents/guardians and a cartoon technique and a semi-structured interview to the children in order to corroborate the information obtained. Frequency analysis and methodological triangulation were used to process the information. The most significant results indicated the existence of a predominance of the authoritarian educational style in the parents/guardians, as well as a similarity between the parents/guardians' self-perception of their educational style and the children's perception of this style.
