Implications of Overlapping Difficulties in Mathematics and Reading on Self-Concept and Academic Achievement
2016
In this study, the relationship between adolescents’ difficulty in mathematics and reading and the influence on academic self-concept and school grades was examined. The participants (N = 585; 299 girls, 286 boys) were one age group of ninth-graders whose mathematics and reading skills were assessed at the end of comprehensive school at age 16 years. Five student profile groups were found using cluster analysis: best achievers, normal achievers (NA), the reading difficulty (RD) group, the mathematical difficulty (MD) group, and the learning difficulty (LD) group. Post-hoc tests revealed that the RD group and the LD group had a higher academic self-concept than the MD group. In school grades…
Faculty Perception of Inclusion in the University: Concept, Policies and Educational Practices
2021
European universities must face the challenge of diversity and design inclusive practices to address it as part of their social responsibility. However, not all universities are doing the same in terms of diversity practices, so it is important to gather the perceptions of the protagonists. To this end, we have analysed university faculty’s perceptions using a mixed model with a concurrent methodological strategy, including an ad hoc questionnaire validated with 880 educators, as well as 17 semi‐structured interviews. The triangulation of these two instruments allowed us to analyse three key dimensions associated with the idea of attention to diversity in the university: diversity concept o…
Inclusion of immigrant children
2018
The Middle East and sub‐Saharan African countries have been suffering by wars during last few years and therefore Europe meets new challenges that are caused by new waves of refugees, which are crossing the boarders of Europe every day. Majority of migrants is consisting of young or more than young people, forced to abandon their own homes, their own cities, their own schools. Although this could look like talking about individual dramas, abandoning schools and depriving a whole generation of education means, really, prejudicing the future of the whole society and prejudicing the future of the countries of origin, which would be deprived of potential future productive and managerial classes…

Izglītības sistēmu modernizācija efektīvai mācīšanai un vielas apguvei Kamerūnas vispārejā vidējā izglītībā
2022
Vidusskolu modernizācija piedāvā inovatīvus instrumentus mācību un mācīšanās procesu pārstrukturēšanai, sagatavojot skolēnus 21. gadsimta prasmēm. Tomēr nav pietiekamu pētījumu par to, kā izglītības modernizācija iederas dažādās Kamerūnas vidusskolu kultūrās un kā skolotāji un skolu vadītāji vidusskolās ar atšķirīgu pedagoģisko kompetenci un mācību pieredzi spēj darboties dažādās tīkla mācību vidēs. Šajā maģistra darbā aplūkotas skolotāju un administratoru perspektīvas par to, kā modernizēt vidējo izglītību, pamatojoties uz Kamerūnas vidusskolās veikto pētījumu. Pētījums tika veikts, izmantojot jaukto metožu pieeju, sajaucot kvantitatīvos un kvalitatīvos datus, kombinējot atvērtā un slēgtā …
La régulation de l'éducation en France et dans les pays anglo-saxons. Une comparaison
2004
The autonomy of the schools increased in most educational systems for the last twenty years. So, educational systems had to implement regulation policies in order to orient the action of the agents towards the nation's aims. While England and the United States implemented a regulation by results (incentives linked to school's or teacher's results), France relies on a regulation by process (incentives to implement ‘pedagogical forms' which are supposed to be relevant). These two policies are described, then they are confronted with regard to their internal coherence and tensions, with in mind the question of the French model being a viable one, able to offer an option to the anglo-saxon mode…
El impacto de las nuevas tecnologías de la información y de la comunicación en el sistema escolar
2004
Una de las finalidades de la escuela como institución es insertar a los alumnos, niños y adolescentes por lo general, en la cultura desarrollada en un contexto social y económico más diverso. Los centros escolares reciben numerosos estímulos para aceptar las reglas impuestas por los grupos hegemónicos en el sistema de reproducción social. Por ello la incorporación de las nuevas tecnologías representa, como en su momento fue la imprenta y los medios audiovisuales, una oportunidad para difundir el conocimiento entre un mayor número de ciudadanos, pero -al mismo tiempo- supone un riesgo de una asimilación cultural mecánica, poco crítica y que forme más a clientes que a ciudadanos.
International Vocational Education and Training Research: An Introduction to the Special Issue
2021
The seven articles in this special issue represent a wide range of international comparative and review studies by international research teams from China, Germany, India, Russia, Switzerland and Mexico. The presented projects are part of the national program "Research on the Internationalisation of Vocational Education and Training", funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF). An adapted version of Urie Bronfenbrenner���s ecological systems theory forms the conceptual framework of the special issue. The four system levels (micro, meso, exo and macro) are addressed by one article each. The article on the microsystem level focuses on the intended and implemented c…
Le financement dans les systèmes éducatifs d'Afrique subsaharienne
2005
05019; La question du financement de l'éducation en Afrique est habituellement abordée sous l'angle du montant et de l'allocation des ressources. Très peu d'attention est portée à la manière concrète dont se réalise le financement tout au long du Projet éducatif, défini comme l'ensemble des procédures qui vont de l'élaboration de la politique éducative à l'exécution des dépenses, en passant par la planification, la programmation et la budgétisation. Cet ouvrage met en évidence l'importance de cette réalisation : les défauts du Projet éducatif, au regard du financement, sont de nature à rendre vaines les prescriptions traditionnelles de politique éducative ; il fait l'étiologie de ces défaut…
