Mitä rehtorit todella tekevät : etnografinen tapaustutkimus johtamisesta ja rehtorin tehtävistä peruskoulussa
2007
Aarne Mäkelä tutki väitöstyössään peruskoulun johtamista ja rehtorin tehtäviä. Tutkimus osoitti, että rehtorin tehtävät ovat muuttumassa. - Pitkän johtajakokemukseni aikana olen tunnistanut, että johtaminen on muuttunut, mutta muutoksen voimakkuus oli yllättävää. Erityisesti koulun selkärankana pidetyn pedagogisen johtamisen tehtäväalueen vähäinen osuus huolestuttaa, toteaa Mäkelä. Mäkelä osoitti, että nykyään rehtori joutuu entistä enemmän hoitamaan koulun yhteistyöverkostoihin liittyviä tehtäviä. Tällaisia ovat mm. lasten huoltajien, perhekotien, kiinteistönhuollon, sosiaali- ja terveysviranomaisten, pelastus- ja turvallisuusviranomaisten sekä muiden koulun sidosryhmien kanssa tehtävä ver…
L’orientamento nel primo biennio di un istituto professionale
2017
L’intervento mirava a verificare se, integrando l’azione della scuola, che è un’agenzia educativa formale, con quella di agenzie formative non formali che operano nello stesso territorio dell’Istituto professionale coinvolto nella ricerca, si abbassava il tasso di dispersione scolastica nel primo biennio. Al termine delle nuove iniziative educative realizzate, dal confronto con i risultati degli anni precedenti, si è notato un aumento dei voti in matematica e in lingua italiana, una diminuzione delle assenze e dei ritardi all’ingresso e un aumento dei contatti tra genitori e insegnanti. The intervention was aimed to verify whether the integration of school action (being school a formal educ…
Identità e qualità di una scuola. Il valore aggiunto dell’appartenenza a una comunità
2017
Un Istituto scolastico per svolgere efficacemente il suo lavoro educativo, per autovalutarsi e per migliorare il servizio adeguandolo alle esigenze reali degli studenti deve “appartenere” a qualcuno, nel senso che ci deve essere una comunità di riferimento, caratterizzata da ideali condivisi, che veda in quell’istituto scolastico l’espansione dei suoi ideali, cioè che lo consideri lo strumento per rendere partecipi gli alunni della propria cultura affinchè la migliorino e la diffondano a loro volta. Nella Costituzione italiana sono chiaramente espressi i principi morali su cui si basa la convivenza civile nel nostro Paese e che pertanto vanno proposti a tutti i giovani affinchè li interiori…

Multi-Energy School System for Seasonal Use in the Mediterranean Area
2020
School buildings represent an energy-consuming sector of real estate where different efficiency actions are necessary. The literature shows how the design of a multi-energy system offers numerous advantages, however, there are problems related to the integration of cogeneration units with renewable energy sources due to the low flexibility of the first one and the high degree of uncertainty of the latter. The authors provide an alternative solution through the analysis of a case study consisting of a multiple energy system in three Sicilian schools, focusing on the system&rsquo
La consolidación de un proyecto iberoamericano de educación. La experiencia del Geoforo. Balance anual de 2011
2011
Los problemas sociales y ambientales que existen en este siglo XXI son de una gran magnitud. Pero la escuela sigue anclada en concepciones del siglo XIX, al mismo tiempo que se priorizan aspectos técnicos de la comunicación y se abandonan los valores y criterios de un análisis social. En este trabajo damos cuenta de las iniciativas llevadas a cabo por un grupo de profesores a través del Geoforo, que aprovecha las facilidades del ciberespacio, a partir del portal Geocrítica de la Universidad de Barcelona, para difundir sus inquietudes y generar la participación de educadores y estudiantes Su objetivo es estudiar los problemas comunes que existen entre los docentes para acercar la educación e…
Diversidades geográficas e construção de um conhecimento crítico para participar em rede. A experiência do Geoforo Iberoamericano. Balanço inicial
2011
The diversity of people, cultures and social situations in Latin America countries does not obstruct the critical and honest dialogue concerning the research carried out on the learning of world problems. Geography, as a science, can contribute to this challenge, but it needs, then, to leave the intellectual, corporate and academic obstacles that prevent its study by the pupils. In this work we communicate the initiatives developed by a group of teachers by means of the Geoforo, which takes advantage of the facilities of the cyberspace, from the Geocrítica portal of the University of Barcelona.
School Staff-centered School Development by Communicative Action: Working Methods for Creating Collective Responsibility - From the Idea to Action
2020
School development is often seen as a concerted (re-)action to educational policies, curriculum development, and change in education laws or regulations, and sometimes, as stakeholders’ reactions to low school performance. Generally, school development incorporates organizational, managerial, and educational activities and measures. This is done to adapt to the new situation to achieve the desired changes and goals initiated by a given curriculum reform. In contrast, this paper focuses on school staff–driven development: It describes how teachers together with paraprofessionals contribute to school-development. Using collective responsibility creating working methods of communication, the e…
Organisational Challenges for School Development and Improvement : The Obstructing Role of Sub-Groups and an Overly Positive School Culture
2020
The purpose of this study has been to identify and analyse obstacles embedded in the school organisation that impede organisational development and improvement. The general findings show that the school structure comprised sub-groups and had characteristics of a diversified organisation. This led to dysfunctional discussions that challenged school development and improvement. Second, the findings revealed that the nature of the school culture may challenge school development processes. Positive features of the school culture, such as engagement, good relationships and high self-esteem might deter the effectiveness of the schools, e.g. the schools’ ability to prioritise and improve the pupil…
Understanding teachers’ mental models of collaboration to enhance the learning community
2022
This study examined representations of Finnish basic education teachers’ mental models of collaboration to reveal the background features that enable or hinder changes in a school community and teacher collaboration. In this case study, we explored 41 teachers’ mental models of collaboration in a one-school community to identify and understand the features that enhance or challenge collaboration. The findings raise the question of how collaboration can support a school’s transition to a unified comprehensive school, when teachers are accustomed to working alone with a strong sense of autonomy and diverse mental models of collaboration. The findings revealed that collaboration is mainly limi…
