Resumen:Una de las principales dificultades de nuestro sistema educativo en el actual momento sociohistórico estriba en que parte de la población no acaba satisfactoriamente la etapa obligatoria al no titular a la edad prevista. En este artículo abordamos esta problemática desde las limitaciones que impone el sistema al considerar la escolarización obligatoria como una etapa de transición y no como un fin en sí misma. En este sentido, asumimos que no es posible desligar lo que sucede en la etapa obligatoria de las posibilidades a las que da acceso, puesto que la posición social adquirida mediante lo laboral queda en relación con los resultados obtenidos en el itinerario educativo. Abordamos estas limitaciones teniendo en cuenta que la agencia de los sujetos se ve condicionada por el momento estructural que viven y por las propias características de la práctica pedagógica entendida como práctica social. Específicamente, analizamos la Formación Profesional de base como un dispositivo de diversificación curricular dirigido al alumnado en riesgo de no titular y por tanto, en riesgo de iniciar una carrera profesional vulnerable. Para enmarcar este análisis, ofrecemos un repertorio ordenado de conceptos teóricos que permiten abordar dichas limitaciones desde la pedagogía y la sociología. Presentamos los resultados obtenidos en una investigación sobre prácticas pedagógicas realizada en centros de la ciudad de Valencia que impartían este nivel en su primer año de implantación en el marco de la actual ley educativa. Finalizamos con una propuesta a modo de debate sobre la necesidad de titular en la etapa obligatoria. Abstract:One of the main difficulties of our educational system in the current sociohistorical moment derives from the fact that part of the population does not successfully finish the compulsory stage because they do not get the Secondary Education Certificate by the expected age. In this article, we address this problem from the constraints imposed by the system when considering compulsory schooling as a transitional stage and not as an end in itself. In this sense, we assume that it is not possible to separate what happens in the compulsory stage from the possibilities to which it gives access, since the social position acquired through labour is related to the results obtained from the educational itinerary. We approach these limitations taking into account that the agency of the subjects is conditioned by the structural moment in which they are living and by the characteristics of the pedagogical practice, understood as social practice. Specifically, we analyse basic Vocational Education and Training as a curricular diversification device aimed at students at risk of not obtaining the Secondary Education Certificate, and therefore at risk of starting a vulnerable labour career. To frame this analysis, we offer an organised repertoire of theoretical concepts that allows us to address these limitations from pedagogy and sociology. We present the results obtained in a research project on pedagogical practices carried out in schools of the city of Valencia that taught this educational level in its first year of implementation within the framework of the current educational law. We finish with a proposal for discussion on the need for a certificate in the compulsory stage.

This work had as an objective to examine the importance and the utilization of Paulo Freire’s legacy for the comprehension of the nature of education, the social historic conditioning of school and the relationship of the pedagogical practice-social practice. For that, we analyzed a discursive event occurred in teaching institutions of the city of Maceió, Ceará, Brazil. In order to carry out this analysis, in addition to Freire’s theory, we relied on the theoretical-methodological assumptions of the Discourse Analysis, founded in France, by Michel Pêcheux, anchored in the Dialectical and Historical Materialism. From the analyzed case, we demonstrate that, contrary to the accusations that attribute to Freirean ideas the responsibility for the negative results of Brazilian education, what exists is the total absence of these ideas in the concrete reality of Brazilian schools today. This fact reaffirms the importance of his work as a point of resistance against conservative policies and excluding pedagogical practices.

<p>The aim of this paper, which makes use of Basil Bernstein’s theoretical framework, is to take a sociological approach to the pedagogical practices that are implemented by literature teachers for teaching Modern Greek Language in the first year of Senior High School, which is a transitional year in the second tier of Greek secondary education. We also aim to investigate the corrective ‘strategies’ that these teachers adopt in order to contribute to their pupils’ successful acquisition of school knowledge related to the Language lesson. The research was carried out using the tools of structured observation and semi-structured interview with a sample of 14 literature teachers, who were working in Greek secondary education. The most significant research findings revealed that the pedagogical practices that were implemented by the teachers in the sample are linked to the implementation of explicit regulative and instructional rules that originate in a visible pedagogical practice. What’s more, ‘corrective’ strategies were implemented with the pupils who weren’t able to satisfy the sequencing and pacing rules of the transmitted knowledge. It also emerged that an important site for the completion of the acquisition of transmitted school knowledge is related to the field of ‘shadow’ education.</p><p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0688/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

Teachers have an important role in the development of an education of quality in Secondary Education schools. School failure continue being a persistent phenomenon in Spain and Castilla La Mancha. School Risk perspective is a proposal that allows to recognize factors in the construction of school failure in the pass of the student through the educational system. It is presented a descriptive-interpretative research from the theorical perspective of Productive Pedagogies to know the school risk factors from teacher’s perspective of 11 Secondary Education schools of Albacete region. It is observed a low perspective in diversity attention and learning contextualization. Teachers plan the pedagogical practice in relation to the average student in ordinary or PMAR classrooms. Less experienced teachers have a favorable perception in some factor about quality teaching. Teachers from schools with a high sociocultural and economic level present an integral and collaborative teaching style as opposed to middle and low-level schools.

The main objective of this article is to discuss how an Early Childhood Education and Care (ECEC) institution in a refugee camp can promote social sustainable education. By giving empirical examples of innovative pedagogical ideas and practices inside a Greek ECEC institution, this article argues that concepts of formation are ways to promote social sustainable education. The article draws on data from an ECEC institution in which both the children living in a refugee camp and Greek children are located together. With nature as a neutral cultural mediator, serving as a pedagogical framework, children can make new experiences based on participation, equality and mutual respect. Data were produced through field observations, semi-structured interviews and one group interview from March 2019 until September 2019. The empirical data reveal three dimensions that we suggest work as markers for social sustainable pedagogical practice: the importance of nature and play as a facilitator for children’s activities; the importance of participation and equality; and the importance of commitment to the community. The findings are discussed in relation with theoretical concepts of formation, with a particular focus on children as active agents and the value of experiences, and the importance of highly qualified educators.

This paper reflects on a project run in a first-year class of art and design degree, in the Curricular Unit of Art and Design Theory. The objective of the project was to investigate the potential of a teaching protocol where a set of drawings were generated in class by the teacher to facilitate knowledge transfer in the classroom. The drawings generated by the teacher in class have not been treated or explored as a strategy as such, but they supported the delivery of theoretical content in the classroom. As part of the teaching theory protocol, a series of drawings were built as a sequential visual narrative, in the form of a story; these drawings, acting as visual narratives, sought to enable students to understand the theoretical content. At the end of the sessions, all students involved in the project were evaluated through surveys, to gather evidence of their understanding of theory. The results obtained suggest that the use of drawing as a tool in explaining theory facilitates a better understanding of theoretical concepts for students. It also allows the teacher to clarify and adjust unclear points in the lectures, and as such this protocol could function as a recursive strategy. In conclusion, the simplicity of this strategy could benefit students with cognitive difficulties, offering a complementary approach in the dialogue between teacher and student. This approach is particularly useful in contributing to the transfer of knowledge in the classroom in a digital age.

Purpose: The lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender/transsexual, and queer/questioning students normally occupy a marginalized and at-risk position in classes and especially in physical education. In this paper, the authors explore the ways in which queer tango can contribute to counteracting heteronormativity and opening up students to new interactions and identifications through the performance of different gender performances in Physical Education and Sport Tertiary Education. Method: A queer tango session was carried out with 111 university students (91 men and 19 women aged 19–22 years). Data were obtained from interviews, video records, and open questionnaires about the practice. Results: The findings reveal that the performance of dance roles that are contrary to the heteronormative order reinforced both heteronormativity and queer embodiments in Physical Education and Sport Tertiary Education. Conclusion: An isolated activity is not enough, and more queer pedagogical practices should be introduced in order to make meaningful changes to mainstream students’ ideology and behaviors.

Facilitating learning for the students nowadays demands so much from the educators. This makes the role of higher education institutions (HEIs) more challenging as they look upon the needs of the present generation. This study sought answer to that need by determining the most preferred pedagogical practices that have impact on the students’ ability to stay motivated and learn effectively. Randomly selected higher education students including bachelor, masters’ and doctorate students were surveyed. Majority of the students belong to the so-called Net Generation. They prefer pedagogical practices that engage multiple channels of learning and on ways of assessing the learning outcomes. They thrive more on relevant, applicable, active learning and project-based tasks while working with their learning partners including faculty and students of shared interests. Results of correlation analysis revealed a significant relationship between students’ demographics, and their preferences for pedagogical practices. Analysis of Variance indicated highly significant difference in the preferences for pedagogical practices across generational groups of students. Higher education is indeed changing and thus requires continuous change and improvement on the part of educators who find comfort in utilizing the twentieth century pedagogical practices. Now that innovations and technological breakthroughs are inevitable, educators must take a stand and set the bar in promoting effective twenty-first century higher education.
