: Opinions of involved People and external Assessment : a Comparison in the Framework of an after school Programme

2002

This article confronts two ordinary approaches towards assessment process in education. In order to assess the effectiveness of a "study support", the first approach focuses on the opinions of involved people while the second one uses some statistical indicators. The comparison has been drawn up both on assessment tools and results (i.e; gaining a place in the programme, school achievement). The main result shows that those two approaches lead to opposite results and it strongly questions the validity of the assessment and the way people who are involved in education use it.

#MeToo in school: teachers’ and young learners’ lived experience of verbal sexual harassment as a pedagogical opportunity

2020

Based on a case study of verbal sexual harassment experienced by a young female teacher and her 17-year-old student in a Norwegian upper secondary school, this article addresses challenges and strengths of drawing upon negative experiences of ‘lived injustice’ in class, arguing that such experiences can serve as a resource for education about, through and for human rights. Complementing this case study, we discuss a survey we have conducted among secondary school students (N=382), concerning how young learners report being sexually harassed and how often they experience that an adult intervenes in the situation. Combining the theoretical framework of human rights education (HRE) and the con…

Responsive versus Treatment-Resistant Perpetrators in Batterer Intervention Programs: Personal Characteristics and Stages of Change.

2020

This article aims to identify different personal characteristics in treatment-responsive and treatment-resistant perpetrators of intimate partner violence who completed a batterer intervention program (BIP). The sample consists of 105 perpetrators of intimate partner violence who were court-mandated to a community-based cognitive behavioral program. Perpetrators were classified by professionals as resistant or responsive to treatment based on the stage of change they reached upon completion of the program. The results show that before starting the intervention program, treatment-resistant perpetrators scored higher than treatment-responsive perpetrators in external responsibility attributio…

"Young people, from problem to resource": a model of youth policy

2018

[Resumen] A partir de los últimos diagnósticos relativos a la juventud en el espacio iberoamericano (CEPAL/OIJ, 2004 y 2008), se identificaron una serie de tensiones y paradojas que enfrentan los jóvenes en sus procesos de desarrollo y de inclusión social. Para conciliar estas paradojas y lograr que los jóvenes de la región puedan realizar su potencial y contribuir a construir sociedades más igualitarias y productivas, se requieren políticas que consideren al sujeto joven en su integralidad. El artículo presenta una política juvenil, desarrollada en el Sur de Italia desde 2006 hasta la actualidad, dirigida a los jóvenes y orientada a la promoción de su activación. El planteamiento de esta p…

Evaluating Attribution of Responsibility and Minimization by Male Batterers: Implications for Batterer Programs

2008

Men arrested and condemned for intimate partner violence assaults tend to use external attributions to justify their behavior and tend to minimize the severity of their violent acts. Responsibility assumption is one of the main goals in many batterer programs because it could facilitate behavioral changes and reduce the dropout rate. In the current study, first we aim to create two scales to assess attribution of responsibility and minimization of incidents of partner violence, and second, to classify batterers based on their levels of minimization and their attributions of responsibility. Participants were 119 male batterers attending to the first assessment session of a court mandated bat…

Self-control failure increases a strategic preference for submission as means to avoid future failure

2021

Abstract A plethora of theories on human motives proposes that people have a fundamental need for control and an intrinsic desire to avoid submission to others. The current paper investigated an important exception to this general claim. Five experiments show that self-control failure leads people to strategically prioritize more social submission. In Experiments 1 to 3, salience of self-control failure increased the preference for submission. The submission effect was replicated with two manipulations and four measures of submission. Additionally, Experiment 3 showed that the effect only occurs after self-control failure and not after failure in controlling others. Finally, in Experiments …
