Résumé A la fin du XIXe siècle, en France, trois sortes d'écoles dispensent l'enseigne- ment secondaire tel qu'on l'entend aujourd'hui, soit les lycées et collèges, les écoles primaires supérieures et les écoles à vocation plutôt professionnelle. Ces dernières se divisent également en trois catégories — Ecoles pratiques, Ecoles professionnelles et Ecoles d'arts et métiers — et ce sont elles qui constituent l'objet de cette recherche. L'auteur s'arrête d'abord à la période d'avant la première guerre mondiale, c'est-à-dire aux années 1880-1914, puis il s'attarde plus longuement à la période de l'entre-deux-guerres. On nous renseigne sur la formation professionnelle des ouvriers qualifiés et des cadres techniques pendant ces deux décennies; on élabore sur les liens qui s'établissent entre ces écoles, le gouvernement et l'industrie; on établit enfin un bilan du progrès réalisé dans l'enseignement professionnel tout au long de cette période. Restent les années de l'après-guerre et l'auteur esquisse à grands traits les divers changements qui se sont produits dans ces institutions depuis 1945.

O texto analisa a reforma em curso do ensino médio brasileiro. Problematiza a produção da área de trabalho e educação que, no Brasil, tem enfatizado o uso do conceito de dualidade para explicar o Ensino Médio; identifica a introdução desse conceito na literatura brasileira e suas influências teóricas; a partir do que defende a sua validade, porém também a sua insuficiência. Tomando o conceito de desigualdade como referência adicional conclui que a reforma tende a promover maior diferenciação escolar, hierarquizando as escolas e precarizando ainda mais a formação oferecida pelas escolas públicas de Ensino Médio das redes estaduais, aprofundando as desigualdades educacionais e embargando o futuro dos jovens pobres.Palavras-chave: Ensino Médio.

The paper considers the reasons for the educational system reform in the late 1950s, which began with the adoption of the law Strengthening the connection of school with life and further development of the national educational system in the USSR. The main propositions of the secondary school reform included labor polytechnic schools establishments where students were supposed to get profession along with the study of general education subjects. The period of study at a secondary school was supposed to be three years (grades 9, 10, 11). Schools and industrial enterprises where industrial training was to take place were not ready to organize industrial training. Despite the extensive campaign, the perception of the reform in society was controversial. The reform did not achieve its main goal - schools could not carry out pre-professional education of students.

Context Educational reform efforts have taken the form of different school models intended to reduce educational inequality. Personalized, interest-based schools and academically focused, “No Excuses” schools are two leading small-school designs with sharply contrasting approaches to innovation. Given mixed research findings about the successes and challenges of school reform models in the United States, it is imperative to understand how educational outcomes of students relate to the philosophy and distinguishing characteristics of particular school models such as these. At the same time, evaluating social mobility effects of high school education across educational reform models requires examination of common metrics such as high school graduation rate and college entrance and degree attainment. Purpose This study sought to establish whether and how a personalized, interest-based secondary school reform model is associated with graduates’ characteristics and postsecondary outcomes—and to place these findings in relation to student outcomes reported by a leading No Excuses school network. Setting Big Picture Learning is a network of innovative small schools that serves primarily low-income and minoritized students through an individualized, relational, real-world-based high school experience. The Big Picture educational model features individualized learning plans connected to extensive internships, independent learning organized around student interests, authentic assessments, and close, informal relationships between students and adults. Research Design The Big Picture Longitudinal Study tracked 1900 graduates from six graduating high school classes. Data sources included student and school advisor surveys, National Student Clearinghouse college enrollment data, and interviews with graduates’ former advisors. Published outcomes data for KIPP No Excuses schools provided comparative information. Analyses comprised descriptive statistics of survey data and multivariate regression analyses connecting high school exit data to college outcomes. Findings The Big Picture Learning model is extremely successful in meeting its stated goals of fostering positive relationships, helping students discover and pursue their interests, and promoting high school graduation and college entrance. Results for academic subject achievement and college persistence are mixed, however. Big Picture graduates have similar college matriculation rates but somewhat lower six-year graduation rates than alumni from the KIPP No Excuses school network. Alumni from both networks show high rates of college attrition. Conclusion When taken alone and in context of other innovative school models, the Big Picture results point to the difficulty of sustaining secondary school gains in the post-high school lives of low-income students and highlight shortcomings of traditional colleges in serving this population.

The challenges proposed by the knowledge society requires a change of mentality and routines of our students. Consequently, a shift is also needed in the role played by teachers in their education. 34 secondary school teachers from three Spanish high schools, from Ceuta, Madrid and Asturias, working as part of a network, began to introduce project-based learning (PBL) and cooperative learning to facilitate this change. We analyze the correlations between the beliefs and the attitudes of teachers when they were initiating a methodological transition in their patterns of teaching. At the same time, we compare the competencies and strategies related with PBL that 372 secondary school students from these high schools consider being personally important with those who they believe necessary to improve their learning or to be successful with academic requirements.

In this article, Jacqueline Ancess and David Allen use New York City as a case study to examine the promises and the perils of the small high school reform movement that is sweeping the nation. They analyze the varying extent to which New York City's small high schools have implemented curricular themes in order to promote academic quality and equity. After identifying a wide range in the level of theme implementation in the city's small schools, Ancess and Allen suggest that small theme high schools have the potential to boost student engagement and achievement. However, the authors also express concern about the manner in which curricular themes may serve as socioeconomic, academic, or racial codes that threaten to merely repackage old patterns of school stratification and segregation.

Underlying Factor

Student alienation is a difficult problem facing many U. S. high schools. Not only does it adversely affect the quality of student life, but it is an underlying factor in other school problems such as violence, vandalism, and poor achievement. Drawing on an extensive literature, Fred M. Newmann develops six guidelines for reducing student alienation. The guidelines are used to show why current efforts in school reform have failed to provide a comprehensive solution to this increasingly troublesome problem.
