ABSTRACT
En este trabajo se analiza la integración con los iguales en el contexto escolar de los menores en acogimiento residencial, tanto desde la perspectiva de los iguales como la de los profesores. Mediante la aplicación de un cuestionario sociométrico en 50 aulas y un protocolo de valoración para el profesorado, se compara una muestra de 60 menores en acogimiento residencial con una muestra normativa de 843 menores. Los resultados muestran que los menores en acogimiento residencial obtienen mayores índices de rechazo por parte de los compañeros para las tareas académicas, pero no para las actividades de ocio. Asimismo, en comparación con la muestra normativa, son descritos más frecuentemente con adjetivos negativos. Existe un alto índice de acuerdo entre la valoración de los iguales y la de los profesores en aquellos atributos que son más visibles en el aula. Se discuten las implicaciones de estos resultados para la mejora de la adaptación escolar de este colectivo
In this study, peer relationships of minors in residential care in a school context are analysed, both from the perspective of the peers and the teachers. Using a sociometric test and an evaluation protocol for teachers in 50 classrooms, a sample of 60 minors in care is compared to a normative sample of 843 minors. The results show that minors in residential care have a higher rate of rejection by their classmates in academic activities, but not for leisure ones. Furthermore, in comparison with the normative sample, they are more frequently described with negative adjectives. There is a high level of agreement between the peer evaluation and that of the teachers in the most visible aspects in the classroom. The implications of these results for the improvement of the adjustment of this group are discussed
