El Máster en Profesorado de Secundaria desde dentro: expectativas y realidades del Prácticum
2016
El objetivo principal que se plantea este trabajo es analizar las prácticas externas en la formación del profesorado de Educación Secundaria desde el punto de vista del discente en prácticas, aportando argumentos para la autocrítica y dando voz a los verdaderos protagonistas del máster, su alumnado. Hemos utilizado como herramienta metodológica los grupos de discusión, optando por la elaboración de resultados y conclusiones como estrategia descriptiva-clasificatoria-interpretativa, donde se aportan soluciones y propuestas de mejora, fruto de la reflexión compartida. Se han analizado entre otros aspectos teoría versus práctica, metodologías de enseñanza-aprendizaje, percepción previa de los…
Finalidades de la enseñanza de las ciencias en la Secundaria obligatoria. ¿Alfabetización científica o preparación propedéutica?
2001
Resumen basado en el de la revista El propósito de este trabajo es encontrar las ideas, propósitos y objetivos de los profesores de ciencias dentro del marco de las reformas educativas. Se trata de revelar en que medida el pensamiento educativo da prioridad a la enseñanza de los estudiantes en los conceptos científicos, leyes y teorías necesarias en cursos superiores (capacitación propedéutica) y como este pensamiento presta menos atención a la llamada alfabetización científica lo cual se suponía iba a ser el principal objetivo de la enseñanza de ciencias de acuerdo con los diseños del currículum . Al lograr esto, se lleva a cabo un diseño experimental multiple y convergente con un múmero d…
Italian and Spanish Students Perception on Use of Technology in Classrooms of Classics in Secondary School
2019
A society that is becoming increasingly digital must explore new ways of learning. In fact, digital technologies have an impact on the education through the development of more flexible learning environments adapted to the needs of a high-mobility society. To prepare future citizens to the needs of the digital labor market, recent educational reforms in Italy and Spain focused their attention on students' Digital Competences. Therefore, we are interested in probing how students of classical studies in Italian and Spanish high schools perceive the use of new technologies in the classroom. It is important to investigate classics at school, because traditionally this program is perceived as le…
The Effects of Taxation on Migration: Some Evidence for the ASEAN and APEC Economies
2010
This paper investigates the effects of taxation on migration. It develops a stylized, two-country model to examine the impact of taxes on labor mobility. The theoretical predictions that taxes affect migration decisions and that educated workers are more responsive to taxation are supported by some empirical evidence for the economies of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations and the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation. The empirical application also shows that average tax rates have a larger impact on migration choices than marginal rates. Average tax rates are most important for migrants with secondary education, while marginal rates have a greater influence on the decisions of migrants…
Rising Educational Attainment and Opportunity Equalization: Evidence from France
2020
Educational policies are widely recognized as the means par excellence to equalize opportunities among children with different social and family backgrounds and to promote intergenerational mobility. In this chapter, we focus on the French case and we apply the opportunity equalization criterion proposed by Andreoli, Havnes, and Lefranc (2019) for evaluating the effect of rising compulsory schooling requirements in secondary education. Our results show that such education expansion has a limited redistributive effect on students’ earnings distribution. Nonetheless, we provide evidence of opportunity equalization among groups of students defined by family background circumstances.
Pathways fostering mobility to higher education for vulnerable immigrants in France, Switzerland and Canada
2016
In this article we wish to clarify not only if, but also how – through which institutional settings – higher education is accessed by students from vulnerable immigrant groups in France, Switzerland and Canada. We are interested in the possible educational mobility that immigrant youths can experience arising from country-specific educational policies designed to increase the enrolment in higher education, particularly the flow from upper-secondary vocational educational tracks to higher education ones. We analyse using panel data in each country the accessibility of different pathways to higher education while taking into account the characteristics of the students. In terms of educational…
Towards Multicultural Education in Finland
2011
Finland is going through a rapid process of multiculturality within a European context, if measured by the numbers of those migrating to the country. This has even given an impetus to reconsider the earlier representation of Finland as a culturally homogenous country. The historical fact is that cultural, ethnic and indigenous minorities have been living in the country for a long time (Pentikainen, 1995a; Leitzinger, 2008).
The successful education sector development in Tanzania – comment on gender balance and inclusive education
2010
In this paper we discuss to what extent the international and national equality goals regarding gender balance and inclusive education have been reached in the education sector development in Tanzania. According to recent reports, the development trend has been generally positive, and the country is close to achieving its primary education targets. More detailed reviews suggest, however, that current monitoring and evaluation mechanisms are too narrow to catch the critical factors regarding equality, particularly in secondary education. Our comment concerns the achievements and challenges, and emphasises the significance of a multidimensional set of information including in‐depth qualitativ…

2016
The Nordic countries are often referred to as a group even though their education systems and training models are very different. The aim of this study is to advance understanding of those differen...
Starting high school? On the origins of secondary education in Spain, 1857–1901
2022
AbstractThe development of modern educational systems radically altered the way knowledge and skills were transmitted. Yet, while elementary schooling rapidly expanded in late 19th and early twentieth centuries, secondary education struggled to find its way. This was also the case in Spain where, despite a growing demand, the provision of public secondary education during the second half of the 19th century was rather limited. As a result, private education, and especially that promoted by the Church, rushed to fill in the gap. Using a new database with municipal-level data, we examine what drove the expansion of private schools. As expected, demand-pull factors were critical. Still, the in…
