Due to COVID-19, many countries implemented emergency plans, such as lockdown and school closures. This new situation has significantly affected families, namely, the involvement required to support children’s learning at home. The current study aimed to analyze Portuguese parents’ perceptions of their home-based parental involvement in their children’s learning during the lockdown and school closures in 2020 due to COVID-19. An online survey, using a closed-ended questionnaire, was employed. Variables included parents’ sociodemographic and COVID-19 related characteristics; students’ sociodemographic characteristics; distance learning context; parental involvement; and students’ autonomy. Data were collected from a sample of 21,333 parents with children from elementary school to secondary education, and statistical data analysis was performed using IBM SPSS Statistics 26. Findings revealed that Portuguese parents supported their children during the pandemic mainly through the monitoring of attention in classes and task realization. However, several variables appear to significantly determine parental involvement time, which is higher when students attend public schools, when they are less autonomous and younger, when parents’ level of education is lower, when the child is a boy (except in secondary education where gender is not relevant), and when the online school time is higher. Findings highlight the need for a significant investment of time from parents, particularly of primary school children, making it difficult to cohere work or telework with school activities. Implications for policies, schools, families are discussed in order to promote children’s learning and success.

O presente estudo tem como objectivos analisar perspectivas de pais e alunos acerca do papel dos pais na execução de planos de carreira dos seus filhos e retirar implicações para a conceptualização da intervenção vocacional no Ensino Secundário, prosseguindo investigação anterior (Pinto, Taveira, & Fernandes, 2003). Através do método de grounded theory (cf. Strauss & Corbin, 1994, 1998) foram investigadas as perspectivas de um total de 62 participantes, através de questionário de resposta aberta (Pinto, 2000). Na perspectiva dos participantes, os pais podem contribuir para o desenvolvimento de carreira através da relação com os filhos e através da relação com o meio. Os participantes evidenciam o reconhecimento do papel dos pais no desenvolvimento vocacional dos filhos, através de atitudes parentais mais ou menos directivas, específicas e intencionais, e da participação e promoção de actividades. Isto traduz a necessidade da intervenção vocacional contemplar os contextos de vida e o seu papel no desenvolvimento da carreira.
RESUMENLa literatura vocacional ha puesto de manifiesto el papel de los contextos relacionales y educativos en la carrera. El papel de la familia, escuela y compañeros se ha incorporado en la investigación y en la práctica de la Psicología Vocacional. El profesorado, aunque con menos énfasis, ha sido presentado también como un determinante en la carrera del alumnado Sin embargo, la investigación sistemática sobre este tópico es escasa. Los autores presentan un estudio cualitativo sobre el papel del profesorado en la toma de decisiones académico-profesionales de estudiantes de la escuela secundaria portugueses. Fueron investigadas las perspectivas de estudiantes, familias, profesorado y profesionales de orientación, una muestra compuesta por 119 participantes. Se utilizó una metodología de investigación cualitativa basada en los procedimientos de la teoría fundamentada de datos. Las respuestas de los participantes en el estudio indican el reconocimiento del papel de los profesorado en la toma de decisiones de los estudiantes a través de cuatro vías principales: la materia que enseñan, la colaboración en 1 Correspondencia: Marisa Carvalho.
