In this research the program IMPLICA2 has been implemented (in four sessions for a month of the academic year 2019-2020) towards the families with children studying 5º and 6º of Primary Education in the Autonomous Community of Galicia. The activities were carried out in four educational centers with the participation of 253 families organized into four groups to accomplish the requirements established in the design of four groups of Solomon (1949). Once the four sessions were implemented, the evaluation of this process was made by the research team and the families. Then, the assessment of results was made following the originally planned design and looking for the interactive links between variables and the structures of relationships which abolish the partnerships between some of them (Alvira Martín, 2002), taking into account, for the latter, the positive impact that the program would have on the elements which determine the family decision of getting involved, according the established by the Hoover-Dempsey and Sandler model (1995). The results allow us to establish that the program shows different effects on the parents regarding the aspects related to the focus of responsibility on the education of children (family, school or family and school), the orientation of the family goals towards learning and/or academic achievement and the perception of effectiveness when they help their children with homework.
