The determinants of post-compulsory education in Spain
2009
In this article we explain why Spain is at the bottom of the developed countries in secondary education. We have made use of extensive information contained in the ECHP supplemented with labour market data. We find that higher rates of unemployment diminish the probability of investing in post-compulsory education and this effect differs across the population. Our results suggest that a ‘poverty effect’ makes access more difficult to secondary education in Spain.
More skilled, better paid : labour-market returns to postsecondary vocational education
2017
Outside the USA, relatively little is known about the labour-market returns to postsecondary vocational (or polytechnic) education. Yet, polytechnics in Europe are distinct from US community colleges. This paper focuses on the labour-market returns to polytechnic attendance in Finland, where polytechnics are representative of many European countries. Using matching methods and longitudinal administrative data, we find that, compared to individuals with no postsecondary education, students who attend polytechnics have higher annual earnings of €3,300 to €3,700 and employment gains of 2.5 to 6.6 percentage points 10 years after the entry decision. However, the returns vary by personal charact…
Heterogeneidad en el impacto de la política de becas en la escolaridad secundaria postobligatoria en España: un análisis por subgrupos poblacionales
2013
El presente trabajo analiza el impacto de las becas sobre la probabilidad de finalizar con éxito el nivel secundario postobligatorio en España en el caso de diferentes subgrupos poblacionales. Se aplica un diseño cuasiexperimental (Propensity score matching) a partir de la Encuesta de Condiciones de Vida (ECV-2006). Los resultados confirman la existencia de efectos diferenciales positivos (con relación al impacto medio) de la política educativa en el caso de las mujeres y de los alumnos provenientes de hogares desfavorecidos, demostrando la existencia de heterogeneidad en el impacto de la política analizada.
Education for Health in Spanish education laws: comparative between the LOE and the LOMCE
2018
RESUMEN Fundamentos: La actual Ley Orgánica para la Mejora de la Calidad Educativa (LOMCE) incorpora cambios sustanciales con respecto a la ley anterior, especialmente una nueva configuración del currículum con mayor optatividad, que puede afectar al desarrollo de las competencias de Salud por parte del alumnado. El objetivo fue evaluar el tratamiento de la Educación para la Salud (EpS) en las dos últimas leyes educativas españolas, en base a la variabilidad y cantidad de términos relacionados con Salud que recogen. Métodos: Se realizó un análisis cuantitativo comparativo basado en la presencia de 281 términos relativos a ocho ámbitos de la EpS en ambas leyes y para las dos etapas de educac…
Analysis of digital competence in future teachers through a mixed design
2022
Digital competence is not only a desirable skill for any citizen, but also a responsibility for the training of future teachers. Using a mixed methodology combining a questionnaire based on the Common Framework for Digital Competence in Teaching and open items, this paper aims to analyse the level of digital competence of 230 future teachers (Primary and Secondary Education), as well as to explore possible differences based on some basic variables. A study is also carried out on the perceived level of digital competence and the true level of digital competence, exploring, finally, the perceptions of the uses of technology in the educational environment. The results show that the level of di…
Application of 5E model for learning Mechanics through inquiry in secondary education
2018
En este trabajo se examina el proceso de resolución de una actividad de indagación sobre las leyes de Newton que consiste en diseñar un montaje con el cuál averiguar qué superficie es la más adecuada para arrastrar cajas de ropa en un almacén. Los participantes son 23 estudiantes de 4º de ESO. Para la toma de datos se recogen sus respuestas escritas relativas al diseño del dispositivo, a la toma de datos, interpretación de resultados y establecimiento de conclusiones. Para el análisis se examinan utilizando como herramienta el modelo de instrucción 5E. Los resultados principales apuntan a ciertas dificultades en los desempeños del alumnado relativos a la elaboración del montaje y a la expli…
Analysis of the resolution processes of threemodeling tasks
2017
[EN] n this paper we present a comparative analysis of the resolution process of three modeling tasks per-formed by secondary education students (13-14 years), designed from three di erent points of view: TheModelling-eliciting Activities, the LEMA project, and the Realistic Mathematical Problems. The purposeof this analysis is to obtain a methodological characterization of them in order to provide to secondaryeducation teachers a proper selection and sequencing of tasks for their implementation in the classroom.
Studying and improving Mathematics instruction in secondary schools in Spain study group (grupo de estudio SiMiS1 )
2021
El objetivo de este artículo es presentar y justificar el diseño de POEMat.ES, una pauta de observación de acciones del profesor de matemáticas en clase. POEMat.ES ha sido desarrollado por un grupo de investigadores con perfiles diversos en cuanto a experiencia docente e investigadora, a fin de sistematizar la observación de la práctica de enseñanza para entender e interpretar con precisión el proceso de enseñanza de matemáticas en educación secundaria en el contexto español. El diseño de POEMat.ES se ha basado en modelos específicos del conocimiento del profesor de matemáticas. La construcción del instrumento se aborda desde dos aproximaciones complementarias: se proponen categorías de obs…
Evaluación del diseño del programa AedEM de Educación Emocional para Educación Secundaria
2016
The systematic interventions in the field of emotional education are a resource increasingly used to facilitate among adolescents acquisition of emotional skills. The review in this work of such interventions shows that most of them take the form of expert programs without integrating their activities within the school curriculum. This paper focuses on the evaluation design of the Programme of Emotional Education (hereinafter AEdEm), which is a compulsory subject in the 1st and 2nd academic years of E.S.O (Compulsory Secondary Education) at a secondary school in the province of Cádiz. This program developed by Sánchez Román y Sánchez Calleja (2015) aims to develop emotional competences foll…
Training of future STEAM teachers: Comparison between primary degree students and secondary master's degree students
2022
In recent years, the presence of the acronym STEAM has been growing in the educational field. All around the world we are faced with a growing demand for professional STEM skills, however, who has the responsibility to train future STEAM teachers? In this article, we explain the results of an investigation with university students pursuing a degree in primary education and Master’s degree students in secondary education, with technology speciality, participating in a seminar about STEAM projects design in two consecutive academic calendar years (18/19 and 19/20). We analyse the responses to a questionnaire which was specifically designed to discover their knowledge about STEAM and the pred…
