Abstract

This theoretical paper’s goal is to understand the sense ascribed to cultural continuity and discontinuity in the field of school-family-community partnership and shed light on the tendency to make the discontinuous continuous. To do this we propose a framework composed of different categories. Through this framework we situate cultural continuity and discontinuity amidst the conceptual, epistemological and metatheoretical levels and localise different forms of school/family interactions –in poverty-related context.

Keywords: Cultural Continuity; Cultural Discontinuity; Epistemology; School-Family Relationship
