La investigación española en psicología educativa desde una perspectiva de género (2008-2018)

Se realiza un estudio comparativo desagregado por sexos de la producción científica en psicología educativa de los investigadores que trabajan en instituciones españolas. Se han identificado 1949 autores que han publicado algún trabajo en revistas indexadas en la categoría Psychology Educational del Journal Citation Reports (JCR) correspondiente a los años 2008-2018. El 56,44% de los autores identificados fueron mujeres frente a un 41,92% de hombres y 1,64% de autores que no ha sido posible identificar. Los resultados muestran un aumento en el número de trabajos publicados en esta disciplina y un aumento del número de mujeres que trabajan en psicología educativa a lo largo del período analizado. Se puede concluir que en la psicología educativa española todavía no existe una igualdad de género, especialmente cuan¬do se considera la élite de la investigación, ya que entre los grandes productores existe un mayor número de hombres que de mujeres y es en el grupo de pequeños y medianos productores donde el número de mujeres supera al de los hombres. Resulta fun¬damental profundizar y seguir realizando estudios que evalúen la evolución y tendencias de forma desagregada por sexos para acometer las medidas correctoras nece¬saria que permitan alcanzar la igualdad de género. A comparative study disaggregated by gender of the scientific production in Educational Psychology of researchers working in Spanish institutions is carried out. A total of 1949 authors have been identified who have published some work in journals indexed in the Psychology Educational category in the Journal Citation Reports (JCR) corresponding to the years 2008-2018. The 56.44% of the authors identified were women versus 41.92% of men and a 1.64% of authors could not be identified. The results show an increase in the number of papers published in this discipline and an increase in the number of women working in Educational Psychology throughout the period analyzed. However, as a conclusion it could be indicated that in Spanish Educational Psychology there is still no gender equality, especially when the research elite is considered, since among the largest producers there is a greater number of men than women and it is only when analyzing the groups of small and medium producers, where the number of women exceeds that of men. It is essential to deepen and continue carrying out studies that evaluate the evolution and tendencies in a disaggregated way by gender to undertake the necessary corrective measures that allow achieving gender equality.

Using Deep Learning to Predict Scholarship Scheme Based on Student Details

The government launches various ambitious programs to make the country more prosperous, but they fail in successful implementation. The main reason behind this issue is the lack of awareness among rural people. This project is to provide a solution to this unaware situation. Through this system, rural students will get to know about what are the various schemes that are furnished by the government. Initially, this system will explore government schemes that are available for the welfare of rural students. Next, the student's datset ((i.e.) name, age, caste, occupation, annual income, etc.) are collected. Then both the datasets are imported into the Anaconda Navigator. Later analysis and classification are done based on communities (SC, ST, BC MBC, and DNC), Educational category (Pre-metric/Post-metric), Board of education (Government/Government-aided), Day scholar or hosteller, age of the students and the schemes are predicted.

An analysis of intercultural bilingual education in Argentina

Purpose – The purpose of this article is to assess the state of affairs of intercultural bilingual education (IBE) policies in Argentina. IBE encompasses educational proposals designed to address the specific needs of ethnolinguistic minorities. Design/methodology/approach – The article is divided into three parts and methodologically analyzes different types of materials (national legislation, bibliography and personal research experiences). Findings – In the first section, the educational policies on cultural and linguistic diversity are contextualized historically. Later, IBE is defined considering five main characteristics (the neoliberal compensatory education policy, educational decentralization/regionalization, the educational category of the system, linguistic goals and teacher profiles). Finally, the conclusions list the challenges, goals that have yet to be achieved and the future perspectives of this educational policy. Originality/value – This article contributes to the field of studies on diversity in the schooling of ethnically different groups.

Adaptive Learning by Using SCOs Metadata

This paper presents an adaptation scenario for tailoring instructional content towards individual learner characteristics taking into consideration his/her learning style type and subject matter motivation level. Learning resources are organized through shareable content objects (SCOs) - a small digital chunks of knowledge, independent and self described pieces of instructional material delivered via Learning Management System (LMS). We use an ontology based student model for storing student information. The scenario of designing lesson content is presented as a cross section of learning style and motivation level, based on the learning object’s educational metadata. Adaptation is made through discovering those SCO’s whose educational category metadata implies that SCO is to be delivered for the learning style of user. Our future work will be to provide experiment and to test our proposed guidelines in order to get feedback on how learners see the adaptive learning environments tailored to their individual learning style and motivation characteristics.
