European Dimension

The RESCUE project (Retention in Secondary education: a European Network), carried out within the VETPRO mobility action funded by the E.U. Programme “Lifelong Learning,” has implemented the school-family alliance under a new European dimension. Parents, headmasters, teachers from two vocational schools in Treviso, psychologists, and a voluntary organization for educational support have been involved in a mobility entailing a visit to some highly reputed European schools. The project has intended to explore innovative practices apt to improve the concept of joint responsibility among all the members of the school community, with a special focus on retention (seen as the contrast to the drop-out problem), namely on the permanence of the students within the training cycles until attainment of adequate educational levels.

The University

The arrival of Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) has stimulated teachers and universities to change in some ways the teaching methodologies. The success of these massive courses is based on involving students to acquire knowledge and skills in a wider community by learning from others and using active learning practices. MOOC providers also help universities to support the mission of transferring knowledge to society in any kind of area, supporting lifelong learning and adopting some kind of internationalization strategy. This is an ongoing trend where 17 of top 30 universities in the world's adopted MOOC courses. Open learning is a strategic and valuable trend in knowledge society. Opportunities appear in the Anglo and Latin American market, while problems associated with the high drop-out rate, the sustainability, and the feasibility of skill certification should be addressed. In this paper we analyze the properties of a MOOC as a learning community by taking data from a pilot of three MOOC courses performed at AbiertaUGR, the MOOC platform of the University of Granada.

The Eu

Although the educational level of the population has improved considerably over the last decades, Portugal still lags far behind the other European countries. Premature school drop-out, along with high retention rates, appear to be the main reasons for this. Consequently, Portugal is the EU country with the largest percentage of workers with low educational levels, and the Central Region of Portugal is the one with the least favourable record. Indeed, in spite of the positive evolution egistered among the youngest, it is still disturbing to find that only 27.1% (61.8% in the EU) of the economically active young peoplebetween the ages of 15 and 24 finished their secondary education or pursued vocational training and that 3% did not even finish the first cycle of basic education. This situation inevitably hinders the formation of human capital, prevents the expansion of productivity and curbs the competitiveness of the productive fabric,as well as economic growth.

Significant Difference

Background: Low socio-economic and educational levels of parents are important risk factors for under-nutrition in children. The distribution ofhealth and diseases in childhood had been shown to be strongly influenced by the social characteristics like occupation and educational attainment. The aim of this study was to determine the socioeconomic status among children with Protein Energy Malnutrition and the Controls in Zaria usingthe modification of the method earlier used by Oyedeji. Method: This study was a case control health- based descriptive study to determine the socioeconomic and demographic variables in  undernourished children in Zaria. Using systematic sampling method, a total of 132 children (cases and controls) between 6 and 59 months of age were selected for assessment of socioeconomic and demographic variables. Results: Nineteen (28.8%) of the study group belong to social class III as compared to 12 (18.2%) for the controls. As for the educational levels of the parents, among the cases, 28 (42.4%) had Islamic education, 25 (37.9%) had secondary education, 10 (15.1%), 2 (3.0%) and 1 (1.5%) had primary,  tertiary and no formal education respectively. For the controls, 7 (10.6%) had Islamic education, 34 (51.5%) had secondary education, 13 (19.7%) and 12 (18.1%) had primary and tertiary education respectively. There was none with no formal education, The statistical analysis showed significant  difference (P= 0.0009) between cases and controls for maternal educational levels only among the demographic data. Conclusion: This study has been able to establish low socio- economic factors among undernourished children studied. Keywords: Under-nutrition, socioeconomic factors, educational levels, children

Familia y escuela colaborando en la educación del alumnado es un deseo y un derecho reconocido por la comunidad educativa. Se aborda, en un contexto multicultural en el sureste español, centrando la mirada de las familias cuyos hijos de Educación Infantil, Primaria y Secundaria Obligatoria reciben apoyo o atención diferentes. Busca conocer su implicación en la educación de los hijos y si existen diferencias respecto a la implicación de familias cuando sus hijos reciben, o no, apoyo o atención diferentes y en función de variables sociodemográficas. Han participado 3639 familias, se aplicó un cuestionario de elevada fiabilidad, con siete dimensiones de la participación. Las familias cuyos descendientes reciben apoyo o atención diferentes, atendiendo al modelo teórico que se defiende, se comunican más frecuentemente con los centros, muestran un elevado sentimiento de pertenencia, y valoran su participación formal en la escuela a través de órganos colegiados de manera más intensa. What family and school have to collaborate in the education of our children and youth is a desire and a recognized right to families. It is the obligation of schools to promote family involvement in schools. It is approached, in a multicultural context in the south-east of Spain and focusing, the look of the families whose children of Preschool, Primary and Secondary Education have some specific need for educational support (NEAE). We pretend to know their involvement in the education of children and if there are differences regarding the involvement of families whose children do not have NEAE. 3639 families participated, a highly reliable questionnaire was applied, with seven dimensions of participation. The families whose descendants present NEAE communicate more frequently with the schools, show a high feeling of belonging, and value their formal participation in the school through collegiate ways more intensively.

Inji Efflatoun was an Egyptian painter, feminist, and political activist. She completed her secondary education at the Lycée Français in Cairo where she was introduced to Marxism. At the beginning of the 1940s, she was one of the first women to attend the Faculty of Arts at Cairo University, where she joined the Egyptian communist organization (Iskra). During that time, she studied under the painter and filmmaker Kamel el-Tilmisani, and exhibited with the Egyptian Surrealist Group "Art and Liberty" (1942–1943). She later studied in the studio of the Swiss artist Margo Veillon, and with the painter Hamed Abdalla. In 1959, her political activities resulted in her being arrested. She was imprisoned for four and a half years and painted throughout her incarceration until she was released in 1963. Efflatoun’s paintings are strongly inspired by the social reality of the Egyptian working class, with a special focus on women and their daily struggle.

Peer tutoring in Mathematics has reported academic benefits across many educational levels, from Preschool to Higher Education. However, recent literature reviews and meta-analysis state that students experience higher gains in Primary or Elementary Education (ages 7–12 years) than in secondary education or middle school and high school (ages 13–18 years). This study examined the effects of peer tutoring on students’ mathematics achievement in primary and secondary education under similar settings. 89 students from first, fourth, seventh, and ninth grades participated in the study. The design of this research was quasi-experimental with pretest–posttest without control group. The statistical analysis reported significant improvements for both, Primary and Secondary Education. The comparison between these educational levels showed that there were no significant differences in the increments of the students’ marks. The global effect size reported for the experience was Cohen’s d = 0.78. The main conclusion is that Peer Tutoring in Mathematics reports similar academic benefits for both, Primary and Secondary Education. Future research must be conducted as the superiority of Peer Tutoring in Primary over Secondary Education has yet to be proved in the Mathematics subject.
