Educación primaria participación de los padres relación entre padres y escuela relación entre padres y el estudiante. This article describes the degree of parental involvement in the educational activities of elementary school children in the State of Yucatán. Based on the opinion of experts and references in the relevant literature, a Likert-type scale with 36 items was designed and applied to 106 parents of students at a public elementary school in the city of Mérida, capital of the state of Yucatan, in order to evaluate their involvement. The results show that the scale has an acceptable reliability coefficient (Cronbach’s alpha = .92) and its underlying structure, after a factor analysis with varimax rotation, consists of three unit factors: 1) Communication with the school; 2) Communication with the child, and 3) Knowledge of the school. Generally, the results show that parent involvement in children’s educational activities is low or precarious, especially in regard to the factors of Communication and Knowledge of the school, although mothers have a considerably higher level of involvement than fathers in these factors. The implications of these findings for the school as well as for research on parental participation in the educational process are discussed in light of the results. El presente trabajo describe el grado de participación de padres y madres de niños de primaria del estado de Yucatán, en México, en las actividades educativas de sus hijos. Con base en juicio de expertos y en referentes de la literatura, se diseñó una escala tipo Lickert con 36 ítems para evaluar la participación, que fue administrada a 106 padres de familia de alumnos de una escuela primaria pública de la ciudad de Mérida, capital de Yucatán. Los resultados muestran que la escala tiene un coeficiente de confiabilidad aceptable (alfa de Crombach = 0.92) y que su estructura subyacente, después de un análisis factorial con rotación varimax, consiste en tres factores principales: 1) Comunicación con la escuela; 2) Comunicación con el hijo, y 3) Conocimiento de la escuela. En general, la participación de los padres en las actividades educativas de los hijos se clasificó como baja o precaria, especialmente en lo referido a los factores de Comunicación y Conocimiento de la escuela, mientras las madres presentaron un nivel de participación significativamente mayor en ambos factores. Las implicaciones de los resultados para la escuela y la investigación sobre participación paterna en el proceso educativo, se discuten a la luz de los resultados.
