2006

Additionally, the experimental group decreased in external regulation, whereas, it increased in the control group. Students in experimental groups were also less amotivated than students in the control group. Finally, experimental students reported higher levels of task orientation when com…

2018
Abstract The purpose of this study was to evaluate the outcomes of teacher preparation based in Professional Development Schools (PDSs) in secondary education in The Netherlands over a period of three years.

Classroom observation ratings and student perceptions of PDS teachers in the second year were higher compared to non-PDS teachers. PDS teachers reported higher levels of teacher efficacy in each year. PDS-based teachers evaluated their teacher preparation and their learning opportunities significantly more positively compared to non-PDS-based teachers. Even though the sample size…
La Educación Musical en España dentro del currículo obligatorio de Educación Secundaria : estudio comparado entre comunidades autónomas
2020
Despite the fact that there are many studies that identify that the Music Education provides numerous benefits to all those students who study it, the truth is that in Spain there is a regression of its presence in the Compulsory Education as the different educational laws are enacted. If during the LOGSE (1990) both Art and Music Education were compulsory within their respective educational stages, in the last years with the LOMCE (2013) these subjects have become optional. In this way, their presence is at the mercy of the Autonomous Communities. Specifically, this article analyses the current situation of Music within the Compulsory Secondary Education through a comparative study among t…
Absentismo escolar en España. Datos y reflexiones
2020
El absentismo escolar no recibe en España la atención que merece. Pese a que diversos estudios señalan que la ausencia de las aulas del alumnado en edad de escolarización obligatoria es más amplia de lo que parece ‒los informes PISA, por ejemplo, lo cuantifican entre el 25 y el 28 % del alumnado de 4º de la secundaria obligatoria‒ esta realidad presenta una escasa visibilidad educativa y social. En el trabajo se realiza una primera clarificación conceptual del problema, para posteriormente analizar con un enfoque integral la normativa legal que articula en nuestro país: el derecho a la educación; la escolarización obligatoria y el absentismo. A partir de ese marco teórico, se señalan los tr…

The development of secondary students’ feedback literacy: Peer assessment as an intervention
2020
A growing body of research has recognized the importance of students’ having active roles in feedback processes. Feedback literacy refers to students’ understandings of and participation in feedback processes, and research on students’ feedback literacy has so far focused on higher education; secondary schools have not received attention. This case study investigates secondary students’ feedback literacy and its development in the context of formative peer assessment. From various data sources, three categories of students’ feedback literacy were identified, and criteria for the levels of literacy in each category were created. The criteria were used in the coding of seventh- and eighth-gra…
