Hacia la transformación de la escuela. Valoración de un programa de convivencia a partir de la voz del alumnado y del profesorado
2016
<p class="AbstractText">Learning to coexist continues to be one of the challenges faced by the current educational system, especially for those schools located in contexts at risk of social exclusion where the violence rate increases on a daily basis. The main aim sought by the present study consists in assessing the impact of a program developed at an educational center located in a vulnerable neighborhood of the city of Valencia (Spain). It is a quasi-experimental, pretest-posttest research with a control group that involved a total of 109 teachers and students. It deserves to be highlighted that this paper forms part of a broader research initiative, for which reason the results ob…
Design, Implementation and Students' Emotional Assessment of a Software for the Learning of Rational Numbers through Music Metaphors in Chilean Prima…
2019
Using sound and music as a metaphor to approach curricular mathematical contents in Primary Education seems an interesting field that deserves some research. Both music and sound can synergically act as scaffolding for learning, intervening as part of situated knowledge, and they could offer a new perspective for learning mathematics at schools, giving pupils opportunities to develop their own mental representations. Also, the incorporation of an affective/emotional analysis, as criteria for evaluation, seems pertinent and complementary to other criteria in the production of multimedia material with educational purposes both in formal and non-formal domains of education. These are the inten…
Modelling of Social Policy and Initiatives under COVID-19: Rural NEET Youth Case Study
2021
NEET (Not in Education, Employment, or Training) youth rates in Europe are generally higher in rural regions than in urban areas and the share in rural regions is constantly increasing. During the COVID-19 pandemic, young people became even more vulnerable as they experienced social exclusion and mental health problems. The objective of this paper is to analyse NEET youth-related statistics in Europe and distinguish positive initiatives for young people in rural areas of the Baltic countries to encourage positive emotions and willingness to learn. Statistical analysis and case study methods were employed. Data on youth unemployment, NEET youth by age and gender, and poverty and social exclu…
Análisis del riesgo de exclusión social en el medio rural: el índice Z como solución «lowcost» a la falta de indicadores sintéticos municipales
2019
Tras la crisis de 2008 el estudio de la exclusión social resulta un objeto recurrente para las investigaciones rurales. Pero las aproximaciones habituales suelen emplear perspectivas de análisis macro (como la tasa AROPE), algo inadecuado cuando el medio rural se caracteriza por su heterogeneidad. Si no reconocemos esta, difícilmente se puede lograr la inclusión social de los individuos y/o familias excluidas en este. Luego resulta clave evidenciar las diferencias territoriales de los fenómenos de exclusión social a nivel micro. Para ello trabajamos con la delimitación que de ruralidad emplean los PDR, y tomamos como casos de estudio los municipios de los GAL-LEADER de la provincia de Valen…
Students’ experiences and learning of social inclusion in team activities in physical education.
2021
Physical education (PE) can be a context in which students are ‘educated through the physical’, which includes the possibility to learn social inclusion as an important life skill and contributor to the greater good of society. A key goal in the Norwegian educational system is that such positive life skills become internalised in students. The aims of this study were to understand students’ experiences of and behaviour towards social inclusion – such as passing the ball – in team activities and how the teacher facilitated the learning of social inclusion. We use Dewey’s pedagogical perspective on education, and Johnson and Johnson’s cooperative learning model to discuss possible consequenc…
La Territorialización de las Políticas de Inclusión Social desde el punto de Vista de los Espacios Rurales Españoles: Comparativa Autonómica
2020
En el artículo examinamos cómo se materializa la atención al medio rural en los planes de inclusión social españoles. Analizamos el marco estatal y autonómico clasificando las Comunidades Autónomas según su grado de ruralidad (OCDE). Así, establecemos si existe relación entre el carácter territorial de cada CCAA y el tipo de acciones inclusivas planteadas para los espacios rurales, y cuáles son los temas abordados. Los resultados evidencian que, al contrario de lo que cabría esperar, las CC.AA. predominantemente rurales no registran la mayor cantidad de actuaciones destinadas al medio rural, y que las temáticas sobre las que más se actúan atienden a la planificación y desarrollo territorial…
Training for Work at the Margins of the Projective City
2020
Drawing upon the work by Boltanski and Chiapello and Boltanski and Thevenot, the training provision that is offered in Spain both to vulnerable youth and to socially excluded adults is analyzed here. It is too often the case that trainers in those programs work under temporary contracts. The reason for this is that the institutions they work for, often Non Governmental Organizations but also municipalities or trade unions, work under the so called projective city—i.e., a connectionist rationale. This fact has an impact upon the notion of work that these trainers portray to trainees attending their vocational training schemes, on-the-job training as well as guidance support. It is also the c…
From the shade into the sun: exploring pride and shame in students with special needs in Finnish VET
2021
This paper reports on a study of the dynamics of social emotions and social bonds between students and class teachers by analysing the narratives of students receiving intensive special support in the Finnish vocational education and training (VET) system. Pride refers to a strong and safe involvement in interaction, and shame implies intimidated social bonds. The analysis is based on abductive content analysis for which Greimas’ actant model worked as an analysis tool. We found some students showing high respect to their teachers who acted as senders setting the objects for students’ studying. Pride is based on the students’ experiences in achieving the objects, thereby pleasing their teac…
The Social Exclusion Bench Tool (SEBT): A visual way of assessing interpersonal social exclusion
2021
People usually prefer to appear with an inclusive and positive attitude to others’ eyes. For this reason, the self-report scales assessing social exclusion intentions are often biased by social desirability. In this work, we present an innovative graphical tool, named Social Exclusion Bench Tool (SEBT), for assessing social exclusion not influenced by social desirability. The tool is based on the consistency between social distance and physical distance evaluation. The results showed that in two samples of adults from Italy (N = 252) and the UK (N = 254), the SEBT positively correlated with self-report measures of social exclusion, but not with the social desirability measure. The tool has …
Economía informal, chatarreo y marco social : reflexiones a partir del caso de los gitanos rumanos en Valencia (España)
2023
Este artículo aborda el chatarreo y otras actividades económicas informales realizadas por los gitanos rumanos en Valencia, con un triple objetivo. Uno, analizar el chatarreo como actividad económica informal de reciclaje y las estrategias y los recursos utilizados. Dos, captar las implicaciones del chatarreo y de su valoración social en la situación del colectivo. Tres, conocer los principales factores que establecen diferencias entre la situación en Valencia y otras ciudades europeas occidentales, con algunas poblaciones del sur global con experiencias más positivas para los recicladores informales. Basado en una metodología cualitativa, con trabajo de campo realizado entre septiembre de …
