Abstract

The specification of the various family structures and trends in the domestic roles played by teachers of all school levels, belonging to a private school in the State of Mexico, was the purpose of the study in a broad framework that will allow all the school community, in a mediate way, learn important aspects of the people who are in charge of many school groups to guide the academic training processes of several generations. Under the quantitative paradigm, a descriptive cross-sectional non-experimental design and stratified sampling were used, which allowed the study of a sample of three hundred nine subjects representative of the entire teaching population of the educational institution. The information obtained through an online questionnaire provided results that indicate that the fact of having lived in a family-school-work environment, given the social distancing by Covid-19, implied a substantive change in housework that was slightly greater for female teachers, than for men. Likewise, it can be concluded that domestic tasks are assumed in a similar magnitude by both the female and male sex, since the difference is not statistically significant as might be thought from the prevalence of a traditionally macho culture in Mexico. This data testifies to the progress towards an ideal of equality in Mexican society and an ideal of functional balance in the family context of teachers, with the respective influence that these changes can have on the relationships between the personal components of the school system.
