Descripción
Resumen:The participation of families in socio-educational processes is a key topic in applied research, offering new strategies for family support. However, active participation in the research process itself remains a challenge. This study aims to define a participatory research process with mothers at social risk to co-produce a resource aimed at improving parenting skills. A qualitative, participatory approach was used with a peer research process, following the phases of preparation, audience, and validation with a group of mothers supported by social services. The results identified the phases of the process and the conditions and limits in each. Preparation included organizing the workshop logistics, recruiting participants, and holding an introductory session for those who chose to participate as researchers. In the audience phase, the sequence, use of materials, and generated group dynamics were highlighted. Finally, in the validation phase, dialogue and consensus were used as methods for discussion and decision-making. Incorporating mothers as researchers generates new perspectives on parenting in at-risk contexts and enables the creation of resources that better meet family needs. This participatory approach highlights the importance of including parents in research to develop more effective support tools for vulnerable families.
