Objective and Subjective Party Leadership Selection: Regulations, Activists and Voters in Poland
2015
Over the last two decades, an increasing number of political parties have gradually formalized the influence of members in the process of leadership selection. This evolution has determined two partly contrasting behaviors in the new democracies of Eastern Europe: inclusive decision-making was formally mentioned but empirical evidence indicates implementation problems. Consequently, it remains an empirical question to what extent the East European political parties apply the formal provisions of inclusiveness when selecting their leaders. In order to provide an answer, this article compares the statutes and election regulations of four Polish parties with opinions of party members and voter…
The children's instruction in Sub-Saharan Africa
2011
This article deals with the various schooling of three francophone African countries. This article presents the resultants of three field surveys, during which ethnographic and participant observations, but also over 150 in depth interviews were led. After having described the educational provision in the three countries concerned, the article shed some light on the representations of school for parents of pupils. A specific focus is made on the schooling model corresponding to each school. That's how was measured the leeway of parents face to the schooling choice which is imposed, face to a plural educational provision which herald historic connations and hierarchical organisation.

Real-time fluorescence image-guided gastrointestinal oncologic surgery: Towards a new era
2021
Technological improvements are crucial in the evolution of surgery. Real-time fluorescence-guided surgery (FGS) has spread worldwide, mainly because of its usefulness during the intraoperative decision-making processes. The success of any gastrointestinal oncologic resection is based on the anatomical identification of the primary tumor and its regional lymph nodes. FGS allows also to evaluate the blood perfusion at the gastrointestinal stumps after colorectal or esophageal resections. Therefore, a reduction on the anastomotic leak rates has been postulated as one of the foreseeable benefits provided by the use of FGS in these procedures. Although the use of fluorescence in lymph node detec…
Analysis of Word Problems in Primary Education Mathematics Textbooks in Spain
2021
A textbook constitutes the hegemonic material of the educational institution. It acts as a mediator between the official curriculum and the educational practice. Given its potential influence in the classroom, this study analyzes the treatment of word problems included in the mathematics textbooks published by the publishing houses with the greatest diffusion in Spain at every primary education grade. Three variables were analyzed: their semantic structure, their degree of challenge, and their situational context. The results indicate that most of the problems included in textbooks are characterized by low complexity and variability regarding their semantic structure. They are also characte…
Climate change and sustainability in Primary Education. Problems and solutions proposed by the Social Sciences textbooks
2021
El objetivo de esta investigación es analizar las propuestas y actividades relacionadas con la solución a los efectos del cambio climático y la sostenibilidad que se insertan en los actuales libros de texto de Ciencias Sociales españoles (Educación Primaria). A partir de la consulta de las principales editoriales que se usan en España (Anaya, Bromera, Santillana, SM y Vicens Vives), se han analizado los manuales correspondientes al 3er ciclo (5º y 6º). Tras la revisión de estos recursos se han categorizado 3 tipos de soluciones: 1) propuestas sobre recomendaciones a seguir, tanto colectivas como individuales; 2) actividades en las que el alumnado debe proponer soluciones; y 3) información s…

Fostering creativity in the classroom.
2021
Aim. The aim of this work is to present a qualitative analysis of the movie proposals prepared by preservice teachers in the context of an educational experience around the ecofeminist movement. The responses to a final questionnaire about sustainability awareness are also analysed.
 Methods. The participants were 47 alumni of the Grades of Early Childhood Education and Primary Education at a Spanish university. After a lecture about ecofeminism and reading a series of fragments of the young literature novel Yabarí by Lola Robles (2017), preservice teachers had to prepare the proposal for an ecofeminist movie, with a synopsis, plot, characters description, cast, and the script for a ke…
Enseñanza de las ciencias : revista de investigación y experiencias didácticas
2020
Nuestro objetivo en esta investigación es identificar las dificultades de aprendizaje que tienen los niños de 1.º a 3.º grado de educación primaria en la construcción de los números naturales. Tales dificultades no proceden de la enseñanza, sino de las propias matemáticas y para poder observar esas dificultades, es necesario reducir el problema a los elementos primitivos. Con los modelos teóricos locales como marco teórico y metodológico, se ha diseñado un modelo de enseñanza traduciendo el componente formal (modelo de J. Von Neumann) a una secuencia de actividades con el uso de material manipulativo. Se analiza la experiencia de enseñanza y en los resultados se destacan y explican las difi…
Broadening Access to Primary Education: Contract Teacher Programs and Their Impact on Education Outcomes in Africa – An Econometric Evaluation for Ni…
2006
06004; For Sub-Saharan Africa as a whole, but particularly for countries in the Sahel zone, full primary enrolment and completion at acceptable quality as codified in the Millennium Development Goals and the Education for All objectives still remains a major challenge. In order to enhance education supply, many of these countries have launched large scale teacher recruitment programs in recent years, whereby the teachers are no longer engaged in civil servant positions, but on the basis of fixed-term contracts typically implying considerably lower salaries and a sharply reduced duration of professional training. While this policy has led to a boost of primary enrolment, stakeholders in the …
