Maestri maschi nella scuola primaria

2019

Nei Paesi membri dellOECD i maestri di scuola primaria costituiscono una minoranza del corpo docente, per la scarsa remunerazione, lo scarso prestigio sociale e lo stereotipo di una professione ritenuta femminile. Siccome, per motivi pedagogici, i bambini e le bambine di scuola primaria hanno bisogno di relazionarsi sia con i maestri sia con le maestre, in diversi Paesi sono state prese delle misure per migliorare limmagine della professione presso gli uomini. Si è ipotizzato che quattro iniziative formative per i giovani iscritti al corso universitario per linsegnamento primario (interviste a studenti, interviste a maestri, cineforum sul maestro, incontri con maestri), avrebbero accresciut…

Mediación intercultural: clave en la formación inicial y desarrollo docente para educar en la sociedad diversa

2019

Este artículo trata de recoger la diversidad cultural existente en las aulas del sistema educativo español realizando una breve revisión de la evolución de la escolarización del alumnado migrante en las aulas. Además, busca visibilizar las ausencias de la formación inicial del profesorado en clave de mediación intercultural desde las directrices marcadas desde los equivalentes al actual Ministerio de Educación y Formación Profesional. Finalmente presenta las acciones y recursos educativos que ha implementado cada comunidad autónoma para dar respuesta a la sociedad diversa en la que vivimos, mostrando el abanico de posibilidades y las diferencias autonómicas existente. Todo ello nos muestra …

Jóvenes transitando a la educación posobligatoria: el reflejo de la injusticia hermenéutica en sus discursos

2020

Los factores que influyen en las elecciones de los jóvenes a la hora de transitar de la etapa educativa obligatoria a la posobligatoria han sido ampliamente estudiados. La confluencia de factores estructurales y de agencia en las transiciones escolares ha sido probada. Sin embargo, estos resultados no necesariamente reflejan la conciencia que los jóvenes tienen de dichos condicionantes, así como la medida en que consideran que estos les afectan. Sostiene Miranda Fricker (2017) que cuando una grieta en los recursos de interpretación colectivos hace que una o varias personas se encuentren en posición de desventaja con respecto a la comprensión de sus propias experiencias sociales, está tenien…

Opettajien ammatillinen identiteetti, toimijuus ja sitoutuminen väljä- ja tiukkakytkentäisessä koulutusorganisaatiossa

2012

This article examines teachers’ work and their professional identity negotiations in two different organisation: a vocational institute and a university department of teacher education. It illustrates how the administrative regulation of educational organisations can restrict and support teachers’ professional orientation, agency and commitment to their own organisation. The research data consisted of 24 open-ended narrative interviews, which were analysed applying qualitative content analysis and thematic analysis. The analysed organisations represent different ways of managing and controlling teachers’ work, which lead the researchers to describe one of them a loosely-coupled organisation…

School-to-work transition in France: the role of education in escaping long-term NEET trajectories

2020

International audience; The aim of this paper is to analyse the school-to-work transition of young people in France, focusing specifically on those who are not in employment, education or training (so-called NEETs), in order to understand their risk of becoming and remaining NEET. Using longitudinal data from a representative national cohort of French young people leaving the educational system in 2010, this study shows how NEET status fits in more or less long-lasting ways in their career pathways. We indicate that 70% of young people experienced a NEET status at least once over the three-year period, if we retain a static and conventional definition of NEET. For most of them, NEET is a te…

Vocational teachers’ pathways in the course of a curriculum reform

2011

Teachers face continuous changes, many of which significantly influence their professional identities and work practices. This study investigates Finnish vocational teachers’ pathways in the course of a curriculum reform. The data were obtained by interviewing 14 vocational teachers twice, i.e. at the initial and later stages of the reform. This study used a narrative approach to analyse the interviews as whole and also to illustrate variations between teachers. The teachers were found to exhibit distinctive pathways through the reform: an empowerment pathway, a critical but adaptive pathway, an open and expectant pathway, a successful transformation pathway, and a struggling pathway. The p…

Obtaining information on expectations among dental students regarding their career planning was the main purpose of this observational online survey. The questionnaire was designed with 18 items in five different languages: English, French, German, Italian and Spanish. Data were collected on nationality, age, sex, country of residence, university attended, semester, expected year of graduation and expectations about future career. More than 3000 participants (n = 3851, 2863 females 74.34% and 988 males 25.66% with a sex ratio of 0.35) participated in the survey. Almost one-third (31.29%) of the participants plan to start their own practice at least three years after vocational training, a q…

What distinguishes responders from nonresponders to a vocational rehabilitation program?

2015

Objective: The aim of the present study was to compare responders and nonresponders in terms of work ability (WA) to a multidisciplinary vocational rehabilitation program (MVRP) in Norway. Methods: The WA of 74 participants was tested at baseline and in the final week of a 4–6-week intervention. The participants whose WA increased were defined as WA-responders, whereas participants with no increases or with decreases in their WA after the intervention were defined as WA-nonresponders. Measures of functional health, psychological functioning, and demographics were also collected. Results: Overall, the results of this study indicate that the WA improved and the proportion of participants with…

Muscle strength according to level of physical exercise and educational background in middle-aged women in Finland.

1992

The aim of this study was to examine the role of socio-economic status and the practice of physical exercise in explaining variation in muscle strength in 50 to 60-year-old women. Consequently, four study groups combining education and physical activity were formed: (1) university education, physically active; (2) university education, sedentary; (3) vocational or lower level of education, physically active; (4) vocational or lower level of education, sedentary. Maximal isometric strength of hand grip, arm flexion, body flexion and extension as well as dynamic power of the abdominal muscles were measured in 112 women. The results of the maximal isometric strength measurements were standardi…

Acceptability, reach and implementation of a training to enhance teachers’ skills in physical activity promotion

2020

This is a pre-print of a published study: Renko, E., Knittle, K., Palsola, M. et al. Acceptability, reach and implementation of a training to enhance teachers’ skills in physical activity promotion. BMC Public Health 20, 1568 (2020). https://doi.org/10.1186/s12889-020-09653-x Background: In order to achieve real-world impacts, successful behavior change interventions need to be scaled up and broadly implemented. Implementation is challenging however, and the factors influencing successful implementation are not fully understood. This study describes the nationwide implementation of a complex theory-based program to promote physical activity and reduce sedentary behavior in vocational school…
