Abstract	This chapter aims to analyze the educational representations and practices of Italian parents about childrearing. Since most of the available studies focusing on parents’ perceptions and theories about children’s education are exclusively based on interviews and questionnaires, an orientation to the social desirability can produce that parents’ answers tend to be divergent from the educational practices they act within family. For this reason, we intend to compare what parents say and what they do within family interactions through the ethnographic observation of their everyday lives. Our idea is to highlight some relevant implicit and explicit aspects of the educational process that parents declare and show in their interactions with children. The methodology we have adopted includes parents’ individual semi-structured interviews and video * francesco.arcidiacono@hep-bejune.ch Francesco Arcidiacono 2 recordings of family interactions at home. The purpose is to consider discourses and practices as instances that belong to interpretative sets used by family members to give sense to their own interactions. Data are examined according to the principles of discursive and conversational analyses. The findings show relevant differences between mothers’ and fathers’ representations about educational matters, as well as divergences between what parents declare during the interviews and the direct observation of their home interactions with children. Both parents indeed express an own ideology about educational matters, although they continuously re-define and re-negotiate within the context of their everyday family interactions.
