Comparing SARS-CoV-2 case rates between pupils, teachers and the general population: results from Germany
2021
Given the inconsistent state of research regarding the role of pupils and teachers during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic in Germany, statewide and nationwide data of infection case rates were analyzed to contribute to the discourse. Infection data from official sources ranging from mid to late 2020 were collected, prepared and analyzed to answer the question if pupils, teachers and general population differ in infection case rates or not. Statewide and nationwide data showed that pupils and teachers infection case rates exceeded those of the general population. However, present data do not necessarily indicate that SARS-CoV-2 cases of pupils and teachers infections took place at schools. Actually,…
National survey of reading comprehension in Finland
2001
As a part of an extensive project for the evaluation of the Finnish comprehensive school, a recently developed reading comprehension measure; a hierarchy-rating test, and a more conventional multiple-choice task were used to assess reading comprehension skills in population-based samples of 2,891 sixth-graders (12‐13 years old) and 1,953 (15‐16 years old) ninth-graders. The hierarchy-rating task was constructed within the theoretical framework proposed by W. Kintsch and van Dijk (1978). It was designed to examine the cognitively high-level text processing, or macroprocessing, of expository passages. The multiple-choice task and the hierarchy-rating task showed only a moderate intercorrelati…
From academic to social success? The case of teachers' children in France
2015
International audience; Our presentation takes an interest into the explanation of inequalities in education and more particularly tackles the resources provided by privileged familial backgrounds in order to facilitate educational and social achievement of their children. Our presentation will focus on teachers as parents.For the primary and secondary school level, educational success of teachers' children has been recently demonstrated for the case of France. However the conversion of this academic success into professional or social achievement has not been particularly investigated. Do teachers, as parents, provide their children with all conditions for social achievement? If they suppl…
Mary and David Medd’s work: domesticity in postwar British school design (1949–72)
2021
This article focuses on the schools developed by Mary and David Medd within the Ministry of Education in Great Britain, 1949–1976. Their main contribution to the field of Educational Architecture was the definition of a design strategy known as Built-in variety, where the self-contained classrooms (empty-box-school) disappeared in favour of a variety of dissimilar places. Indeed, the Medds sustained a very innovative view from which primary educational architecture was profoundly reconceptualised, getting closer to a home than to an institution. Actually, the paper argues that it was precisely this driving principle – school as a home – that was responsible for the dismantlement of the trad…
Yhdeksäsluokkalaisten vieraan kielen oppimismotivaatioprofiilien ja arvosanan yhteydet peruskoulun jälkeisiin jatkosuunnitelmiin
2021
Tässä artikkelissa tarkastelen peruskoulun yhdeksännen luokan oppilaiden vieraan kielen oppimismotivaatioprofiilien ja kieltenopetuksessa saatujen arvosanojen yh-teyttä heidän perusopetuksen jälkeisiin jatko-opiskelusuunnitelmiinsa. Tutkimuksen tavoitteena on tarkastella kriittisesti motivaation ja kouluarvosanan suhdetta kiel-tenopiskelussa ja pohtia tämän mahdollisia kielikoulutuspoliittisia implikaatioita. Tilastollisesti edustava tutkimusaineisto koostuu sähköisellä kyselyllä kerätyistä vastauksista (n=1206), joista tässä tutkimuksessa tarkastelen perusopetuksen jäl-keen lukiokoulutukseen tai ammatilliseen koulutukseen aikovien, kieliopinnoistaan arvosanansa ilmoittaneidenoppilaiden vas…
Partnership for training. Parents, teachers and leaders: the educating community
2021
Family and school are the educational agencies that play a primary role in the child development. Therefore, an educational partnership based on values and responsibilities sharing and on the mutual respect of competences is necessary. This idea is reflected in Bronfenbrenner (1979; 2001), Epstein (2018), Eccles and Harold (2013) theoretical/methodological models and in the Pati (2019) pedagogical-epistemic reflection. Starting from this theoretical framework, it is considered necessary to investigate the point of view of teachers, parents and managers in order to provide a clear vision of the practices of educational co-responsibility in reference to the Italian school context. We predicte…
Knowledge-building patterns in educational dialogue
2017
This study aimed to examine knowledge-building patterns in Grade 6 educational dialogues. The data consisted of 20 video-recorded lessons from the classes taught by seven teachers, selected by using a latent profile analysis and examined with a qualitative functional analysis of classroom talk. Episodes of educational dialogue were found to represent three main types of knowledge, based on facts, views and experiences. These three types were further identified as forming six diverse knowledge-building patterns in educational dialogues. The findings indicated that factual orientation dominated the Grade 6 lesson dialogues. However, factual knowledge building often occurred with the other two…
La dirección de centros docentes de educación primaria en clave de género
2012
Resulta constatable que las mujeres se encuentran infrarrepresentadas en puestos de liderazgo en las organizaciones educativas, pese a constituir la mayoría del profesorado. En particular la feminización generalizada de la enseñanza primaria no se traduce en una presencia similar en puestos de responsabilidad. La masculinización de los puestos directivos invita a reflexionar sobre el liderazgo en clave de género, sobre las eventuales diferencias de ejercicio de hombres y mujeres o las barreras que impiden a las profesoras el avance profesional y su alejamiento de las instancias de poder y decisión en el ámbito educativo. El estudio combina técnicas cuantitativas y cualitativas de análisis, …
La formazione degli insegnanti e le strategie per promuovere la scuola inclusiva
2020
L’educazione inclusiva per divenire una realtà tangibile nel processo educativo della scuola odierna necessita di azioni concrete e di un monitoraggio costante. La misurazione della qualità dell’inclusione rappresenta uno dei fattori fondamentali del suo sviluppo, ma sicuramente l’elemento chiave è la classe docenti, i fautori principali e primari dell’educazione inclusiva. I docenti possono realizzare l’inclusive education se opportunamente formati e se vengono offerti loro validi strumenti di autovalutazione. Formare gli insegnanti a promuovere l’inclusione direttamente nei contesti in cui operano e in relazione ai loro studenti, vuol dire garantire a ogni persona il successo formativo e …
Verso un'educazione interculturale
2016
Il tema dell'inclusione scolastica degli alunni di nazionalità non italiana è oggi particolarmente avvertito dall'opinione pubblica italiana in seguito alla consistenza del fenomeno immigratorio. I figli dei lavoratori immigrati non devono essere né assimilati né emarginati, bensì aiutati a formarsi una propria identità culturale. Sono forniti alcuni orientamenti pedagogici per gli insegnanti affinché favoriscano l'inclusione dei bambini stranieri e lo sviluppo di un'autentica mentalità interculturale in tutti gli alunni. A tal fine sono proposte delle competenze interculturali che gli insegnanti dovrebbero acquisire per far sì che tutti gli alunni interiorizzino i valori fondamentali per l…
