| Sumario: | The present article aims to analyze how the pedagogical discourse symbolically constructs single parenthood and family diversity. Some prescriptive texts such as laws, curriculum designs, documents produced by governments and international organizations and educational research’s articles have been analyzed for this purpose. As a result, it is noted that hegemonic school discourse and a certain 'scientific common sense' prescribing and normalizing certain forms of family organization and certain forms of linking families and schools as necessary conditions for children's schooling. Biparentality appears more or less explicitly as the expected family. This results in the invisibilization of single parenting in educational laws, curriculum documents and school manuals and the connotation of family diversity as some deviation from an expected standard, which therefore negatively affects the school task. This preconception, which identifies families with a nuclear family, is stronger in the field of educational and social sciences. It is insisted -beyond the evidence of the research itself- that single parenthood is a risk factor, a new danger for schooling of the children of these families. |
