Mismos caminos, distintos destinos. Explorando el efecto de las trayectorias educativas y del origen social en las transiciones hacia la educación po…
2020
Las transiciones a la educación postobligatoria son un elemento clave para comprender las desigualdades educativas y sociales. La elección de los estudios postobligatorios por parte de los y las jóvenes está mediada por patrones de desigualdad social, así como por sus trayectorias y experiencias escolares previas. Partiendo de este marco, este artículo responde al objetivo de comprender de qué forma las trayectorias escolares de los y las jóvenes en la etapa de la educación obligatoria contribuyen a explicar sus elecciones acerca del itinerario postobligatorio. Más allá de un análisis que incorpore los factores descriptivos de las trayectorias escolares -como la repetición de curso o el ren…
Secondary School Students' Knowledge and Opinions on Astrobiology Topics and Related Social Issues.
2017
Astrobiology is the study of the origin of life on Earth and the distribution of life in the Universe. Its multidisciplinary approach, social and philosophical implications, and appeal within the discipline and beyond make astrobiology a uniquely qualified subject for general science education. In this study, student knowledge and opinions on astrobiology topics were investigated. Eighty-nine students in their last year of compulsory education (age 15) completed a written questionnaire that consisted of 10 open questions on the topic of astrobiology. The results indicate that students have significant difficulties understanding the origin of life on Earth, despite exposure to the topic by w…
El proyecto mapa escolar de Valencia: Análisis de la zonificación educativa de la ciudad de Valencia
2018
The research project Mapa Escolar de Valencia (School Map of Valencia) was born out of an agreement between the City Council and the University of Valencia in order to carry out an investigation of the compulsory education system of the city and propose, if necessary, modifications to the current school zoning. The project is structured in several research areas. An analysis of the specialized scientific literature and public policies concerning education and schooling has been done, and it is currently analysing the evolution of quantitative and qualitative data on compulsory schooling in Valencia, its school zoning, the representations of education and the school climate in the city schoo…
Private Pre-University Education in Romania
2014
This paper approaches private provision of pre-university education in Romania, exploring available data on the sector's size and main characteristics and evaluating the extent to which the current regulatory framework enables positive effects in terms of freedom of choice, quality, equity, and social cohesion. The paper argues that the lack of a clear strategy mixed with strict control in key areas and lax implementation of support instruments has led to private providers not being a legitimate alternative to public education.
Perdió el libro que se compró / había comprado pocos días antes: Reflexiones iniciales en torno al saber gramatical sobre los tiempos verbales del pa…
2007
Carmen.Rdez-Gonzalo@uv.es La alternancia entre los tiempos verbales del pasado en textos escritos exige tener en cuenta diferencias aspectuales poco presentes en el español hablado. Según López García (2005: 162), el sistema de cinco tiempos simples (vengo, venía, vine, vendría, vendré) cubre las necesidades expresivas de los hispanohablantes, aunque los niños emplean menos y muchos hablantes adultos raramente usan otras formas. Los problemas se plantean cuando en lugar de hablar español necesitamos escribirlo y leerlo. Esta necesidad cambia por completo el inventario de tiempos ya que, para articular un texto es preciso dejar muy claro que unos acontecimientos ocurren antes o después de ot…
The impact of learning difficulties and socioemotional and behavioural problems on transition to postsecondary education or work life in Finland: a f…
2016
AbstractLearning difficulties have been found to dilute the possibilities that young adults have in their educational careers. However, during the last few decades, education has become increasingly important for employment and overall life satisfaction. In the present study, we were interested in the effects of mathematical and reading difficulties and socioemotional and behavioural problems (measured at age 16) on three educational situations at age 21: delayed graduation from upper secondary education, short educational trajectory and not being engaged in education, employment or training (NEET). The participants (N = 597; 304 females, 293 males) were one age cohort of ninth graders in g…
Organisation and Efficiency of Education Systems: Some empirical findings
2000
Using a sample of countries chosen for their similar level of development, this article shows the extent to which the organisation of primary and secondary education differs from one country to another, notably with respect to the way in which systems differentiate and select pupils for specialised curricula. It also explores the question of whether an education system that sorts pupils at a very early age is more cost-effective than a system that does not sort pupils during compulsory education. The stylised description of national education systems is based on various sources of information. The data used in the cost analysis come from the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Develo…

Perspectives of early childhood teachers on parent–teacher partnerships in five European countries
2009
ABSTRACT Societal conditions impacting on parenting have radically changed during the past two decades. There is variation between and within societies depending on social, cultural, political and economic factors. Today, Early Childhood and Care (ECEC) services play an increasingly important role in supporting families with young children during birth to the age of compulsory education. Accordingly, the collaboration between families and early childhood professionals has emerged as an essential topic of educational research and professional development. The International Parent–Professional Partnerships (IPP) research study focuses on the contemporary challenges of the parent–teacher partn…
Shared Cognitions in a Field of Informal Education: Knowledge Maps Towards Money Management of Young Adults
2013
Prerequisite knowledge of first grade Bachelor students (N = 48) on processes of private consumption and housekeeping (money management) has been assessed by means of knowledge mapping. The study is based on the fact that in German compulsory education, there is no emphasis on economic literacy. Young adults (students), however, have to cope with individual economic planning processes. Most of them succeed based on support from families, friends, and peers. Some may simply refer to successful models experienced within their money socialization or to professional advice. Others, however, fail and become confronted with early indebtedness or even overindebtedness. The percentage of young adul…
