The Development of Linguistic Competences for Employability: A Training Project for Teachers
2014
Abstract Employability is a new concept that has just appeared in the Spanish educational system. Its rising importance is due to European Union educational policies which aim to provide young people with training that enables them to take part successfully in the present and future working world. This paper argues for the need to develop employability from the very start of formal education, and within this, we highlight the importance of developing linguistic competence among pre-school and primary pupils as a key element for favouring employability. To be able to do so, the teaching staff must be trained using quality education to enable them to work effectively on this competence. In th…
Frank W. Taussig and Carl S. Joslyn on the Social Origins of American Business Leaders: A Chapter in the History of Social Science at Harvard
2019
In their 1932 volume "American Business Leaders: A Study in Social Origins and Social Stratification," Frank W. Taussig and Carl S Joslyn, then a young Harvard graduate, argued that success in business depended more on innate superiority than on other environmental factors such as financial aid, influential connections, and formal education. The aim of this paper is to analyze the main contentions of Taussig and Joslyn, as well the intellectual genesis of, and the general reactions to, this controversial volume. Although our main focus is on Taussig and Joslyn, other figures, all directly affiliated with Harvard, will play a decisive role in our narrative—the economist Thomas Nixon Carver, …
The Making of the Ordinary Child in Preschool
2011
The article examines parent-teacher conferences in Finnish and Swedish preschools. Previous research has shown that the conferences are mostly about the evaluation of the child. Based on qualitative data, the article studies how this evaluation is done. It asks how the institutional order regarding children is constructed in parent-teacher conferences and what the ordinary child is like that this order presumes. The theoretical framework is adopted from social constructionist research on childhood and institutions. The analysis applies a discourse analytic framework. The results suggest that being and becoming social is the key expectation for a child in Finnish and Swedish preschools; form…

El conocimiento pedagógico y la periferia del universo educativo
2006
In this work the authors reflect on the dynamics generated between the universe of education and educational theory, as the fruit of the incorporation to that universe of areas and forms which up until then had been external, borderline or marginal to it. After an introduction, the article applies this general perspective to diverse spheres: in the fi rst place, to what the consideration of non-formal and formal education has meant for educational theory; in second place, the same is done with respect to the idea of permanent education; third, it is applied to the repercussions that the real recognition of gender equality in education has on pedagogical discourse; fourth, to what the possib…
Análisis de la participación escolar en la gestión de un espacio natural. Estudio de casos del Proyecto de Apadrinamiento del Parque Natural del Turia
2016
El Proyecto de Apadrinamiento de las riberas del Turia ha permitido desarrollar una investigación cualitativa para estudiar el carácter de la participación escolar fomentada a partir de la relación que este tipo de proyectos genera entre los ámbitos de la educación formal y no formal. Se plantea una primera fase diagnóstica a través de entrevistas semiestructuradas y posteriormente una intervención mediante una investigación cuasiexperimental para conocer la percepción que sobre esta cuestión poseen técnicos, docentes y el propio alumnado. Los resultados evidencian la necesaria coherencia entre el modelo didáctico-evaluativo alternativo y el proyecto curricular sociocrítico para fomentar l…
Despre fertilitatea erorilor. Imitație și inovație în învățământul superior, Robert D. Reisz, Editura Trei, București, 2018, 224 p.
2020
In his book, Robert Reisz approaches the challenging topic of the reproduction of the humboldtian and napoleonian models of higher education systems. It includes a thorough history of how these models appeared and a particularly interesting discussion about their diffusion across the world. Taking a neoinstitutional perspective, the author aims to describe the process of imitation (as a form of innovation) that is happening during the institutionalization of the models of universities in various historical, cultural and social settings. Apart from a specialists’ public – experts and academics – the book is addressing to a wide public, including any social actor involved or interested, eithe…
