Abstract

Participation of parents in their elementary school children's homework is essential for several reasons: it fosters a positive attitude towards learning, helps to establish routines of study and responsibility, allows to know the progress and difficulties of children and also strengthens the relationship between parents and children. The objective of this research was to describe the participation of parents in their children's homework, as well as their level of technostress, through a quantitative, non-experimental, cross-sectional and descriptive study with 107 fathers and mothers from the administrative area of a Mexican public higher education institution. As results, a mean of 3.51 points (always) was obtained in the variable support for their children's autonomy; 2.54 points (almost always) in cognitive stimulation; and 2.72 points in technostress. In conclusion, parental involvement in the studies of elementary school children is crucial for their academic success and integral development; the level of stress related to the use of educational technology in homework may vary according to the individual and the circumstances.
