La "atención a la diversidad" como oportunidad. La perspectiva del proyecto Gea-Clío.
2019
En 1989 se conformó en Valencia (España) el grupo de innovación e investigación pedagógica Gea-Clío, centrado en torno a la didáctica de la geografía y la historia desde una perspectiva progresista y crítica. Un año después (en 1990) se inició en España una reforma educativa de gran calado que extendió la obligatoriedad de la escolarización hasta los 16 años. La implementación de dicha reforma conllevó la aparición de serios problemas en el sistema educativo español. Se analiza la génesis de dichos problemas, las soluciones conservadoras aplicadas durante los últimos años y sus efectos. A continuación se exponen los enfoques y las propuestas dadas a esos nuevos retos desde el grupo Gea-Clío…
Cómo se calma al primo en la ESO : la externalización a PCPI y la subjetivación de la selección escolar
2020
This paper deals with the process of externalization of pupils from compulsory lower secondary education to external programs (PCPI). It describes the negotiations, interactions and strategies deployed in the process, as well as the actors involved and the subjective effects it has on the students. The paper is based on ethnographic fieldwork conducted in a state secondary school in Madrid, and draws on document analysis, participant observation and interviews with students and the school personnel. The proposal of referral to basic vocational training programs external to compulsory education constitutes a status degradation for the students, which are defined as unable to complete compuls…
¿Navegando contra la corriente? : transición educativo-laboral de jóvenes egresados de la educación secundaria técnico profesional en Chile
2020
La educación media técnico profesional (EMTP) representa un componente central de la oferta formativa de la educación secundaria en Chile, cubriendo un porcentaje cercano al 40% de los estudiantes de los dos últimos grados de enseñanza obligatoria, fundamentalmente aquellos que provienen de los sectores más pobres de la socidad. Tal relevancia, sin embargo, no ha tenido un correlato en el desarrollo de políticas tendientes a fortalecer su modelo formativo o articularse con las necesidades productivas del país. Los antecedentes muestran que los egresdados de la EMTP presentan recorridos hetrogéneos y especialmente complejos. Factores estructurales vinculados a los altos grados de vulnerabili…

During the experiment the mentally retarded people involved became more actively involved in the different activities, and a considerable improvement was observed in their independent daily living s…
Development of environmental health competencies through compulsory education. A polyhedral approach based on the SDGs
2020
This paper focuses on the competencies in environmental health acquired by students during compulsory education. Questionnaires addressing environmental health problems were completed by 923 students of primary and secondary schools from five different Spanish regions. The results for five challenging situations related to hunger, consumerism, climate change, pollution in the cities and allergies are analysed according to the internal coherence of each sub-competency, i.e., addressing knowledge, skills and attitudes towards these topics. Our results show that problems related to air and water pollution were the most commonly described by the students. Focusing on competency achievement, the…
Educational Programs for the Promotion of Health at School: A Systematic Review.
2021
Context: Health promotion programs generate healthy changes in the educational community. However, not all of them meet the expected objectives due to multiple factors that affect their development, such as the teachers overload work, the lack of specific training, the lack of time to carry out health promotion activities, the lack of flexibility of the programs, and their non-inclusion in the training programs of the centers. Objective: To know the scope of the strategies and programs that promote healthy habits among students in compulsory educational stages. Data sources: a systematic review of articles in English, using the Web of Science (WOS), Medline, and PsycINFO databases. Sin fina…
The Physical Education curriculum design in Spain: A critical review from the LOGSE to the LOMCE
2016
This paper analyses the curriculum framework of the different Education Acts through democracy in order to identify and compare their most distinctive features; their flexibility and the granted autonomy for schools and teachers, in order to materialise and develop the curriculum, is also dealt with in this contribution. The analysis concludes that the open and flexible curriculum of the first Education Acts in democracy has evolved towards a more closed and prescriptive curriculum, which indirectly leads into an objective-based pedagogy and places the teacher in a technical teaching role. The texts’ analysis confirms this trend in the Physical Education area, in which teachers will meet wi…
Kindergarten pre-reading skills predict Grade 9 reading comprehension (PISA Reading) but fail to explain gender difference
2020
AbstractOne of the aims for compulsory education is to diminish or alleviate differences in children’s skills existing prior to school entry. However, a growing gender gap in reading development has increasingly been documented. Regrettably, there is scant evidence on whether differences between genders (favouring girls) have their roots in pre-reading skills or whether determining mechanisms are related to factors to do with schooling. We examined the extent to which pre-reading skills assessed in Kindergarten (age 6) predict reading comprehension in Grade 9 (age 15) and, whether the gender difference in reading comprehension can be explained by gender differences in the Kindergarten pre-r…
Career goal-related social ties during two educational transitions: Antecedents and consequences
2010
Abstract This study examined adolescents’ career goal-related social ties during the transition from compulsory to post-compulsory education and during transition from post-compulsory education to working-life or further studies. A total of 687 Finnish adolescents aged 15–16 were surveyed of whom 654 also participated at the second measurement point one year later, and 497 three years later. Differences in career goal-related social ties were found according to gender, GPA, family structure, and SES. Moreover, social ties were associated with educational track after compulsory school above and beyond SES, GPA, and family structure. Adolescents who named a teacher or a romantic partner were …
¿Qué canciones infantiles se trabajan en el aula universitaria? Guías docentes y realidades educativas desde una visión comparada TITLE: What childre…
2018
The different legislative reforms have strengthened the inclusion of a varied repertoire in the subject of Music, oriented to expand a musical bag respectful with different musical manifestations. Despite this, traditional-popular music does not have a special presence in the teaching guides of Early Childhood and Primary Education: advocates the use of a classic-romantic repertoire for Primary and the popular-traditional substrate is reserved for Pre-School Education. In this context, the autonomic competences have determined the elaboration of educational curricula, in compulsory education and in grades. Thus, this research analyzes the presence of the traditional-popular musical substrat…
