description | Migration from Mexico to the United States is increasingly familiar. This indicates that in recent years children and adolescents born in Mexico and the United States move between the two countries to satisfy their educational demands. Return migration, caused by the crisis in the labor market in the United States, or by deportation due to their illegal status, creates new scenarios and ‘actors' that causes more complex problems in Mexican society. The increasing presence of students with educational experience, but with a differentiated social, cultural and familial background, brings changing identities and comparative visions that impede their social integration and school performance, and merge them in a cognitive dissonance state. The challenge for the school to meet is considerable and transcends national boundaries. This paper highlights the inescapable link between these students with their transnational family context. The field work was based on the school experience, in which students, school administration, teachers, parents, and representantes of the "Programa Binacional de Educación Migrante México - Estados Unidos", came together. This exploratory research uses an inductive methodology. The findings are analyzed under a transnational focus and provide us with general references regarding the studied problems. |

La migración de México hacia Estados Unidos es crecientemente familiar. Esto implica que en los últimos años menores y adolescentes nacidos en México y en Estados Unidos se mueven entre los dos países con demandas educativas. La migración de retorno causada por la crisis del mercado laboral en Estados Unidos, o por la deportación debido a su condición de ilegalidad, crean nuevos escenarios y actores que complejizan la sociedad mexicana. La presencia creciente de estudiantes con antecedentes y experiencia educativa, social, cultural y familiar diferenciada, trae consigo identidades cambiantes y visiones comparativas que dificultan su integración social y rendimiento escolar, y les sumergen en estados de disonancia cognitiva. El desafío para una escuela ajena a sus necesidades es grande y trasciende fronteras. El artículo destaca la ineludible vinculación de estos/as estudiantes con la de su contexto familiar transnacional. El trabajo de campo se centró en la experiencia de la escuela en donde confluyen los/as estudiantes binacionales, personal administrativo, profesores/as, padres de familia y responsables del Programa Binacional de Educación Migrante México - Estados Unidos. La investigación es exploratoria con una metodología inductiva. Los hallazgos son analíticamente observados bajo el enfoque transnacional y proveen de referentes generales a la problemática estudiada. 2014-01-01 2022-03-22T14:39:57Z 2022-03-22T14:39:57Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://sye.uchile.cl/index.php/RSE/article/view/27217 10.5354/rse.v0i6.27217 http://biblioteca-repositorio.clacso.edu.ar/handle/CLACSO/78764 spa https://sye.uchile.cl/index.php/RSE/article/view/27217/32065 application/pdf Universidad de Chile.
