La calidad periodística en España según la percepción de los periodistas
2015
Este artículo expone los resultados de una investigación sobre la percepción que tienen los periodistas españoles de la calidad periodística, teniendo en cuenta el contexto económico, tecnológico, empresarial, laboral y profesional. Los resultados de una encuesta, en la que participan 363 periodistas españoles con al menos tres años de experiencia en diferentes medios, ponen de manifiesto carencias relativas tanto a la relevancia y diversidad de los temas abordados como al acceso a las fuentes o el tratamiento y verificación de los datos, así como a las condiciones laborales o a los retos derivados de la adaptación a las nuevas tecnologías y a las imposiciones de la acuciante inmediatez.

The Implementation of Dual VET in Spain: An Empirical Analysis
2019
This paper provides a brief overview of how Dual VET was implemented in the Spanish VET system. Dual VET was first regulated in Spain by the end of 2012 with the aim to replace the existing work experience module (FCT) within formal VET. However, companies have hardly contributed to its development, and the educational administrations that mandated it did not support its anchorage in the economy, while forcing VET schools and teachers to introduce it. This has resulted in an example of how not to implement educational reforms. We will use our own empirical research as well as secondary analysis of empirical studies to analyze the views of VET teachers on the whole process and the added valu…

Different approaches to research and innovation in physics education at college and university
2019
Abstract In this article we report a Symposium organized by GTG-Physics Education Research at University (PERU) with different proposals that includes innovative educational approaches and research on problems of teaching-learning physics at university. In the second section, two research projects are described on teaching specific curriculum topics that present special difficulties for students. In the next section the third project on a work experience in the laboratory that takes into account the characteristics of scientific work, is presented. Finally, the fourth project presents a way to investigate the types of student reasoning. In the discussion, the importance of research projects…
Educated for migration? Blind spots around labor market conditions, competence building, and international mobility
2018
Young European graduates are crossing borders to work abroad more often than in the past. This trend is particularly evident in Southern Europe, where recent economic downturn has significantly diminished professional opportunities and career prospects. This study will investigate Spain, a country where unemployment has increased dramatically since 2008, as a case study to examine recent graduate’s experiences to develop a professional career in Germany. In particular, this study will draw upon various sources: official statistics; review literature; and education and training policies throughout the European Union. The investigation features an interview with Spanish graduates working in …
Blended learning: communication, locations and work-life practices
2011
The article discusses blended learning and how various delivery formats affect the way learning is situated in work-life practices. The authors approached this issue through an empirical study of an in-service training programme for middle-level managers in a number of case organisations. The programme used a combination of e-learning, textbooks and face-to-face seminars. The conclusion reached is that a purposeful blend of delivery modes and technology systems can situate learning outside the daily work location and at the same time facilitate the creation of communities of practice embedded in daily work experience. It is further argued that inflexibility can be a necessary for creation o…
Personality and Labour Market Income: Evidence from Longitudinal Data
2010
This study contributes to the literature on how personality is rewarded in the labour market by examining the relationship between personality and labour market income. Our results suggest that adulthood extraversion is positively associated with income when education, work experience, and unemployment history, measured prospectively from longitudinal data, are controlled for. In addition, childhood constructiveness indicating active and well-controlled behaviour has a positive association with income in adulthood.
The Relationship Between Overeducation and Job Satisfaction Among Young Spanish Workers: The Role of Salary, Contract of Employment, and Work Experie…
2010
The increase of education in younger generations and the relative scarcity of qualified jobs available for them makes overeducation of young employees a social issue. We explored the relationships between overeducation and job satisfaction (extrinsic, intrinsic, social facet), as well as the direct and moderating role of salary, contract of employment, and work experience in these relationships using hierarchical regression analyses. Data were collected from a sample of 643 young Spanish employees. As expected, there were negative relationships between overeducation and all 3 satisfaction facets. Moreover, high work experience emerged as a moderating factor that buffered the negative effect…
