El objetivo de este artículo es presentar los criterios y modelos estadísticos empleados en un estudio de eficacia escolar desarrollado en la Comunidad Autónoma del País Vasco empleando como variable criterio los resultados en matemáticas, comprensión lectora en lengua castellana y en lengua vasca, resultantes de las evaluaciones de Diagnóstico aplicadas en cinco años. Se definen cuatro criterios de eficacia escolar: puntuaciones extremas, residuos extremos, crecimiento de puntuaciones y crecimiento de residuos. Para ello se han aplicado técnicas de regresión multinivel empleando modelos jerárquicos lineales. Los resultados permiten una selección de centros tanto de alta como de baja eficacia que se basa en cuatro enfoques distintos y complementarios de la eficacia (o ineficacia) escolar. The aim of this paper is to present the statistical criteria and models used in a school effectiveness research carried out in the Basque Country Autonomous Community using as outcome variable the mathematics, spanish language and basque language scores. These scores come from the Diagnosis Assessments applied for five years. Four school effectiveness criteria are defined: extreme scores, extreme residuals, scores growth and residuals growth. Multilevel regression techniques have been applied using hierarchical linear models (HLM). Results have permitted a selection of both high and low effective schools based on four different and complementary school effectiveness approaches.

The Spanish 1978 Constitution establishes a complex state. In constitutional terms, it is not defined as a federal state, but rather as a unitary state with significant scope for political decentralization. This complex constitutional arrangement is in response to both internal and cultural features, and to a search for greater administrative efficiency. The pluri-national character of the state is the subject of fierce debate in Spain, while the way in which certain minority nations (Catalonia and the Basque Country) are accommodated is a permanent source of friction. This paper seeks to provide an overview of this complex political/constitutional situation by analysing the historical, political and legal developments that have occurred during the last 40 years, with a focus on the last developments of the Catalan crisis. Although Spain is markedly asymmetric in political and identity terms, this asymmetry is not adequately reflected in Constitutional Law. In addition, the ongoing tension between unionism and separatism in some regions poses significant challenges to the Spanish constitutional system as a whole, in particular, through the pro-independence process in the autonomous region of Catalonia.

¿Cuál es la realidad de los derechos lingüísticos de quienes quieren utilizar el euskera en la Comunidad Autónoma del País Vasco, en la Comunidad Foral de Navarra y en el País Vasco francés? Es evidente que los efectos jurídicos del reconocimiento como oficial o no del euskera en cada uno de los territorios de Euskal Herria, lleva aparejado un estatus distinto de los derechos lingüísticos de que gozan los ciudadanos en el uso del euskera y en su incorporación al ámbito educativo obligatorio. En el presente trabajo se analiza todo ello, desde el examen de la realidad de los datos sociolingüísticos y la normativa jurídica aplicable. Zein tzuk dira euskaldunen hizkun tza-eskubideak, Euskal Autonomia Erkidegoan, Nafarroan eta Ipar Euskal Herrian? Agerikoa da, Euskal Herriko lurralde bakoi tzean, euskara ofizial tzat aitor tzearen ala ez aitor tzearen ondorio juridikoak, biztanleen hizkun tza-eskubideen estatus ezberdina dakarrela euskararen erabileran eta derrigorrezko hezkuntza-esparruan. Lan honetan hori guztia aztertzen da, datu soziolinguistikoek erakusten diguten errealitatetik abiatuz eta ezargarria den araudia ikertuz. Which is the real situation of the linguistic rights of those who want to use the Basque language in the Autonomous Region of the Basque Country, Navarre and the Northern Basque Country? It¿s clear that the legal effects of recognising ¿or not recognising¿ Basque as an official language in each of the territories of the Basque Country will have a different impact on the status of the language rights that the citizens will be able to enjoy, both in terms of the use of the language, as well as the consequent inclusion of Basque as a subject in the mandatory education. This essay will analyse all these aspects, based on the study of sociolinguistic data and the current law.
