General Diagnosis and Medical Evaluation

2019

Current literature does not contribute to a high level of evidence regarding possible indications for immediate loading. A great variety of exclusion criteria for immediate loading of dental implants are used in different studies. However, the reported criteria are similar to those chosen for conventional loading of dental implants. Despite its several clinical advantages, the immediate loading protocol should be performed respecting a rigorous preliminary diagnostic algorithm. Primary indication for immediate implant loading is certainly patients’ desire to reduce the overall treatment time. Additionally, several psychological factors, related to the preservation of functional and esthetic…

Relationship between students' perception of a rubric for oral presentations and their academic characteristics

2022

The use of rubrics in the evaluation of oral presentations has been associated with several benefits for students. However, it is unknown whether students with better academic marks and greater self-regulation find the use of rubrics more useful or not. This paper aims to assess the relationship between how students perceive the use of a rubric and their academic characteristics, and to analyze the congruence between the professor’s and students’ evaluations when using the rubric. Eighty-five students studying for a Degree in Sport Sciences participated in this study. A rubric for oral presentations was used to assess the students’ performance. The students then filled out…

Evaluación del diseño del programa AedEM de Educación Emocional para Educación Secundaria

2016

The systematic interventions in the field of emotional education are a resource increasingly used to facilitate among adolescents acquisition of emotional skills. The review in this work of such interventions shows that most of them take the form of expert programs without integrating their activities within the school curriculum. This paper focuses on the evaluation design of the Programme of Emotional Education (hereinafter AEdEm), which is a compulsory subject in the 1st and 2nd academic years of E.S.O (Compulsory Secondary Education) at a secondary school in the province of Cádiz. This program developed by Sánchez Román y Sánchez Calleja (2015) aims to develop emotional competences foll…

Finnish Case of Basic Education for All – With Quality Learning Outcomes

2014

This article views behind the success of the Finnish basic education in the PISA assessments in the years 2000, 2003, 2006 and 2009. Success is here defined not only as excellent learning outcomes in reading literacy, mathematics and science, but also as a high level of educational equity and equality. The achieved outcomes are attributable to several factors, of which this article addresses especially the basic education reform of 1972-1977 and the university based teacher education leading to a master’s degree. Additional attention is paid to the autonomy of the municipalities (counties), schools and teachers in building and implementing the curricula, on the respect for learning and teac…

Prioritization of students’ needs for education service design and development by embedding AHP and fuzzy set theory: A case study

2015

Student satisfaction represents a strategic factor for many universities towards increasing competition concerning students recruitment. Thus, nowadays many universities take into account typical customer-oriented industry’s approaches for the education service design and development. In such a condition, prioritization of students’ needs represents a crucial step to appropriately adopt these approaches. This paper proposes an effective way to evaluate importance of students’ needs based on the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) method, in which linguistic variables are parameterized by means of triangular fuzzy numbers, to deal with uncertainty, subjectivity and vagueness. Finally, a case st…

: Policies of decentralization in education : international diversity, theoretical reasoning, empirical evidence

2004

Over the past two decades, decentralization of governments has become common throughout the world. The education sector is no exception. Countries with diverse economic, spatial, demographic and educational features have implemented significant decentralization reforms. The traditional typology of educational functions, characterized by contrasts between central states federal states has grown enriched with families of newly decentralized educational systems. However, despite the polical popularity of decentralization reforms, neither economic and political theories nor empirical evaluations give consistent grounds for this worldwide trend. Despite an impressive amount of literature, mainly…

Bases de données internationales sur la qualité de l'éducation (1964/2005)

2006

06032; Dans ce travail de recherche, nous utilisons une méthode qui nous permet d'obtenir des indicateursqualitatifs du capital humain (IQCH), pour 105 pays, et pour chaque domaine de compétence(mathématiques, sciences, lecture) mesuré à travers l'ensemble des enquêtes internationalesd'acquis des élèves. Cette méthode repose sur la possibilité d'un re-calibrage des résultats d'uneenquête par rapport à une autre en ancrant les résultats sur les pays qui ont participé à au moinsdeux enquêtes différentes. Elle nous permet de construire des indicateurs de qualité du capitalhumain comparables pour plus grand nombre de pays comparé à ce qui est actuellement disponibledans la littérature. Nous obt…
