Este artículo tiene como finalidad describir críticamente el proceso de negociación del currículum en Educación Física en las etapas de secundaria y bachillerato, poniendo encima de la mesa los problemas que pueden surgir y aportando algunas soluciones para difundir su uso y aumentar de este modo la participación del alumnado en los procesos educativos. Esta propuesta está fundamentada en los resultados obtenidos en un estudio de casos en que participaron dos centros públicos de la Comunidad Valenciana: a) un grupo de 3º de secundaria con 17 alumnos y b), en una segunda fase, un grupo de 1º de bachillerato con 19 alumnos. El estudio, en que participaron los dos profesores de Educación Físic…
Preventing early leaving in VET: distributed pedagogical leadership in characterising five types of successful organisations
2010
This paper presents 14 organisers of upper secondary education in Finland with exceptionally low dropout rates. As a case study in which common strengths were defined, five types of organisations with typical characteristics were found: Working life‐oriented, Networked and team‐based, Cosy and traditional, Guidance‐oriented, and Innovative. Distributed pedagogical leadership (DPL) was created as the theoretical basis from which organisational actions were examined. DPL implies that responsibility for students’ learning is shared by the whole personnel, through long‐term and systematic pedagogical practices. For this purpose, the management and leadership, curriculum, strategies, development…
Training in Sustainability as Essential for Future Employability
2014
Abstract This work studies the need for an education that will develop competences to successfully face the challenges posed by Sustainability and discusses current curricula and how the Competences for Sustainability have been included in them. It has analyzed the inclusion of general and specific competences relating to Sustainability, present in the teacher guides for all subjects of the new degree format at the University of Valencia and other Spanish universities. Among the conclusions, it is noted that as in the rest of the world, Spanish universities have begun to include competences for Sustainability as well as specific content to prepare their students for the construction of a su…
Project Management Competencies for Master Students: Curriculum Development in Two Romanian Universities
2016
The Bologna Process has as one of its main pillars the link between academic curricula and labour market requirements. This process has built a space for dialogue and cooperation which reaches far beyondEurope, where the basic values of the European society – freedom of expression and research, free movements of academics and students, students active participation to learning and tolerance – have been put at the forefront of education. Since 1999, Romanian universities have tried to adjust their curricula and academic offers for study programs to the requirements of the labour market, sometimes with some reluctance from the various partners involved in this process. As the field of Project…
Lost in Enthusiasm? An Elementary Qualitative Analysis of 44 Years of Research in Order to Show Why Even Today Educational Historiography is Not an U…
2021
The statement from this article that historical reflection remains essential in educational research will not be demonstrated by one or another theoretical reasoning, but by four illustrations taken from my 44-year-old research career in the history of education. Each one of these illustrations represents an important research line of my career. The first deals with the history of primary education (mainly in Belgium, but also elsewhere). It concentrates on the relationship between continuity and change within the educational practices, in general, and on the irony and immunisation of educational innovations, in particular. The second deals with the history of educational sciences from the …
Promoting Employability in Higher Education: A Case Study on Boosting Entrepreneurship Skills
2020
How can higher education increase the employability of university students? We present a case study on an innovative training itinerary aimed to promote the participation of teaching staff to stimulate the creativity of students and enhance their employability skills. Students acquire the entrepreneurship competences by applying the problem-solving methodology to their innovative projects based on sustainable development. The participation in the contest shows a growing importance, with topics ranging from the more technical ones, such as nutrition innovation, science innovation, or sustainability, to the social projects, related to social services, inclusion, or services against gender vio…
Balancing ‘flexibility’ and ‘employability’: The changing role of general studies in the Finnish and Swedish VET curricula of the 1990s and 2010s
2019
This article analyses and compares the evolving role of general subjects in the curricula of initial upper secondary vocational education and training (VET) in Finland and Sweden during the 1990s and 2010s. The research illustrates how Bernstein’s concept of ‘pedagogic code’ supports comparative studies on principles guiding changes to curricula and how the role of general studies in VET has been redefined. The findings show that while a principle of ‘market relevance’ has been central to VET over the decades since the 1990s, it has been subject to varying interpretations. The shifts in interpretations have guided the organisation of VET in these two countries in different directions, incl…
Fair Kernel Learning
2017
New social and economic activities massively exploit big data and machine learning algorithms to do inference on people’s lives. Applications include automatic curricula evaluation, wage determination, and risk assessment for credits and loans. Recently, many governments and institutions have raised concerns about the lack of fairness, equity and ethics in machine learning to treat these problems. It has been shown that not including sensitive features that bias fairness, such as gender or race, is not enough to mitigate the discrimination when other related features are included. Instead, including fairness in the objective function has been shown to be more efficient.

El proceso de alfabetización académica presenta en el sistema universitario español numerosas deficiencias en nuestros días, lo que es especialmente preocupante en el caso de los futuros maestros de Educación Infantil y Educación Primaria, dada la influencia que este colectivo tendrá en la alfabetización de los alumnos en los primeros años de escolarización. Este estudio trata de determinar qué variables definen la alfabetización académica de los estudiantes universitarios y qué prácticas docentes y discentes pueden ayudar a explicarla. Un “Cuestionario sobre hábitos lectores y escritores” fue aplicado a una población de 513 estudiantes del Grado de Magisterio de Educación Infantil y Primar…
