AbstractAfter cultural and religious controversy in Modesto, California, community leaders attempted to increase tolerance and respect by requiring an unique world religions course for high school students. The first large-n empirical study of the effect of teaching about religion in public schools indicates that students taking the course showed statistically significant increases in passive tolerance, their willingness to refrain from discriminatory behavior, and active respect, the willingness to take action to counter discrimination. This research documents the circumstances that gave rise to the course and evaluates the course's effects using qualitative and quantitative evidence. It also connects the course to a larger research tradition in political science on the effects of civic education programs that promote liberal, democratic values.

In recent years No Child Left Behind has provided new labels to supposedly high- and low-performing schools and has identified large numbers of schools as low performing. Are school-to-school differences in the quality of instruction offered as great as the public is led to believe? Using the disciplined inquiry typology of Newman, Marks, and Gamoran, we examine whether variation in observable indicators of school quality correspond to real differences in instruction between schools. Consistent with the large body of research on school effects we find very modest school-level variation in the prevalence of disciplined inquiry.

Mathematics education is a critical public policy issue in the U.S. and the pressures facing students and schools are compounded by increasing expectations for college attendance after high school. In this study, we examine whether policy efforts to constrain the high school curriculum in terms of course requirements and mandatory exit exams affects three educational outcomes – test scores on SAT math, high school completion, and college continuation rates. We employ two complementary analytic methods – fixed effects and difference in differences (DID) – on panel data for all 50 states from 1990 to 2008. Our findings suggest that within states both policies may prevent some students from completing high school, particularly in the near term, but both policies appear to increase the proportion of students who continue on to college if they do graduate from high school. The DID analyses provide more support for math course requirement policies than mandatory exit exams, but the effects are modest. Both the DID and fixed effects analyses confirm the importance of school funding in the improvement of high school graduation rates and test scores.

Full textAbstract:
What is schools’ role in the stratification system? One view is that schools are an important mechanism for perpetuating inequality because children from advantaged backgrounds (white and high socioeconomic) enjoy better school learning environments than their disadvantaged peers. But it is difficult to know this with confidence because children’s development is a product of both school and nonschool factors, making it a challenge to isolate school’s role. A novel approach for isolating school effects is to estimate the difference in learning when school is in versus out, what is called impact. Scholars employing this strategy have come to a remarkable conclusion—that schools serving disadvantaged children produce as much learning as those serving advantaged children. The empirical basis for this position is modest, however, and so we address several shortcomings of the previous research by analyzing a nationally representative sample of about 3,500 children in 270 schools from the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study–Kindergarten Cohort of 2011. With more comprehensive data and better scales, we also find no difference in impact on reading scores across schools serving poor or black children versus those serving nonpoor or white children. These patterns challenge the view that differences in school quality play an important role shaping achievement gaps and prompt us to reconsider theoretical positions regarding schools and inequality.

Full textAbstract:
By offering information, counseling, and tutoring, college outreach programs attempt to smooth the path between high school and higher education for at-risk students. But do these program work? This paper uses longitudinal data from the Education Longitudinal Study to construct two quasi-experiments to assess the effectiveness of college outreach. The first compares outreach program participants with a propensity score matched sample of program non-participants to measure the effects of targeted college outreach programs. The second assesses the effects of school-wide college outreach programs by comparing students in school-wide outreach high schools with students in a matched sample of high schools that offer no formal outreach. The results suggest that targeted outreach programs do little to change the educational experiences of participating students. However, there is limited evidence to suggest that school-wide outreach programs may have modest “spill-over” effects, improving the educational outcomes of relatively unengaged students at participating schools.

Full textAbstract:
There has been a spate of litigation before constitutional and human rights courts challenging restrictions on wearing religious dress in state schools as an infringement of religious freedom rights.1 These cases implicate deeper constitutional issues pertaining to State-Religion relations, religious pluralism and expressions of religious identity in the public domain of multicultural societies. Within Europe, this problem relates to the issue of integrating immigrants into national society and preserving secular political orders. The European Court of Human Rights in Leyla Sahin v Turkey2 [‘Sahin’] noted that within democratic societies, opinions ‘reasonably differ widely’ on State-Religion relations, reflected in the diversity of national approaches. For example, the 2004 French law banning ostentatious religious symbols from public schools,3 embodying a strict, doctrinaire secularism, contrasts sharply with the more accommodating liberal approach where British schools pragmatically offer students alternative uniforms to satisfy religious dress codes for public modesty. The English Court of Appeal in Shabina Begum v Governors of Denbigh High School4 [‘Begum’] held, in applying the Human Rights Act,5 that the school as a state institution was obliged to consider the claimant's religious rights under Article 9(1) of the European Convention of Human Rights [ECHR], and to justify its school policy under the Article 9(2) limitation clause. The United Kingdom is ‘not a secular state’6 as statute provides for religious education and worship in schools.

Full textAbstract:
School lunch programs provide an opportunity to improve students’ diets. We sought to determine the impact of a multifaceted intervention (cafeteria redesigns, increased points-of-sale and teacher education) on secondary students’ perceptions of school-lunch quality and convenience and fruit and vegetable intake. Surveys (n = 12,827) from middle and high school students in 12 intervention and 11 control schools were analyzed. We investigated change in school-lunch perceptions and lunchtime and daily fruit and vegetable consumption from 2016 to 2018. Among 8th graders, perceptions that school lunch tastes good and that school lunch was enough to make students feel full increased 0.2 points (on a 5-point scale; p < 0.01) in intervention schools relative to control schools. Among 10th graders, lunchtime fruit and vegetable consumption increased 6% in intervention relative to control schools (p < 0.05 and p < 0.01 respectively). Daily fruit intake increased 0.1 cups/day in intervention relative to control schools among 9th graders (p < 0.01). This study provides important evidence on the limited effect of design approaches in the absence of meal changes. We observed only modest changes in school lunch perceptions and fruit and vegetable consumption that were not consistent across grades, suggesting that additional efforts are needed to improve school-lunch uptake.

Full textAbstract:
When schools adopt shared decision making (SDM), principals' authority is limited. Nevertheless, all six principals in the SDM high schools we studied supported SDM, at least in part because they had chosen to serve in an SDM school. The three principals who were most supportive of SDM also had ambitious visions of instructional reform. After 1.5 to 2 years, the high schools in which these principals served experienced a heightened level of conflict among the faculty. In large part, the conflict was due to these principals' efforts to use SDM as a vehicle to foster large changes. Teachers resisted major change, and principals became impatient with the participatory process and tried to promote their own versions of reform. Only a modest degree of reform was achieved, but it was more than was achieved by SDM principals without a reform agenda. Reformist principals in non-SDM high schools implemented modest reforms as well, although at the expense of suspicion and antagonism after changes were introduced. We explore the dilemmas that reformist principals face and suggest policy implications.

Abstract Reducing youth cannabis use in Canada is a public health priority with schools of interest as a potential modifier of behavior and as a venue for prevention programming. This work aimed to provide a basis for future policy and programming by evaluating pre-legalization cannabis use change patterns in schools and the impact of school characteristics on these patterns. Average rates of cannabis use behavior change (initiation, escalation, reduction, cessation) were collected from 88 high schools located in Ontario and Alberta, Canada participating in the COMPASS prospective cohort study. There was little variability in cannabis use behaviors between schools with intra-class correlation coefficients lowest for cessation (0.02) and escalation (0.02) followed by initiation (0.03) and reduction (0.05). Modest differences were found based on school province, urbanicity and student-peer use. Cannabis ease of access rates had no significant effect. Fewer than half the schools reported offering school drug use prevention programs; these were not significantly associated with student cannabis use behaviors. In conclusion, current school-based cannabis prevention efforts do not appear sufficiently effective. Comprehensive implementation of universal prevention programs may reduce cannabis harms. Some factors (urbanicity, peer use rates) may indicate which schools to prioritize.

Este trabalho objetiva analisar a implementação da Política Pública Planejamento Estratégico da Secretaria de Educação do estado do Rio de Janeiro em uma escola técnico agrícola, sob o ponto de vista da gestão escolar e, considerando que a escola apresenta-se como uma escola profissionalizante, recebendo uma política de metas para o ensino médio regular. A escolha dessa escola ocorre por estar situada em uma Regional do estado do Rio de Janeiro com os melhores resultados da implementação da política no ano de 2011. Além de apresentar resultado enquanto escola técnica profissionalizante, quando os alunos egressos conseguem empregar-se na profissão, o interesse recai sobre o desempenho dessa escola profissionalizante acatando uma política para o Ensino Regular que não abrange o ensino profissionalizante. Será apresentado no final deste trabalho um Plano de Ação Educacional que contribua para o aprimoramento da implementação dessa política, considerando as características da escola. A justificativa para este estudo foi minha experiência como diretora adjunta neste colégio no ano da implementação da política e a necessidade de repassar a aprendizagem que recebi nesses anos de acompanhamento da pesquisa, já ocupando a função de diretor geral em outra escola. Além disso, este trabalho não poderia passar sem a discussão acadêmica sobre o Ensino Médio Propedêutico versus Profissionalizante. A Metodologia utilizada foi o estudo de caso de sucesso de uma escola agrícola com ensino médio concomitante ao técnico, considerando os seus resultados. Foi realizada análise documental da Política Pública e uma revisão bibliográfica sobre o Ensino Médio Regular e Profissionalizante. Este trabalho tem sua fundamentação teórica em autores como Stephen Ball e Richard Bawe (1992), Eduardo Condé (2011) Ranson (2008), Gajardo (2000), (Navarro (2000), (Carnoy, Loeb e Smith (2001), Jefferson Mainardes (2006) e Lück (2010).
This work aims to analyze the implementation of the Public Policy Strategic Planning of the State of Rio de Janeiro's department of Education in an agricultural technical school, from the point of view of school management and considering that school presents itself as a vocational school, receiving a goals policy for regular High School. The choice for this school is about being a vocational school in one State of Rio de Janeiro's Regional which has the best results in Political implementation policy in the year of 2011.In addition to presenting results as vocational technical school, when gradueted students can find jobs in their professions, the interest lies in the performance of this vocational school performing the policy for the Regular Education, which does not cover professional education. At the end of this work will be presented an Educational Action Plan contributing to the improvement of the implementation of this policy, considering the school unique characteristics. The rationale for this study was my experience as an adjunct director in this school in the policy implementation years and the need to pass the learning I received in these years of follow-up research, already occupying a General Director post at another school. Further, this work couldn't have pass without the academic discussion on propaedeutics Secondary Education versus Vocational Secondary Education. The methodology used was the case study of a successful agricultural school with concomitant high school, considering their results. One documentary analysis of Public Policy and a literature review on the Regular and Vocational High School was held. This work has its theoretical validity in authors such as Stephen Ball and Richard Bawe (1992), Eduardo Conde (2011) Ranson (2008), Gajardo (2000), (Navarro (2000), (Carnoy, Loeb and Smith (2001), Jefferson Mainardes (2006) and Lück (2010).

Dissertação apresentada à Universidade Fernando Pessoa como parte dos requisitos para obtenção do grau de Mestre em Ciências da Informação e da DocumentaçãoEste trabalho tem como objetivo geral promover a reflexão participada do professor bibliotecário, do diretor, de professores do Ensino Básico e do Secundário e dos alunos, em busca de um novo sentido para a biblioteca escolar. Analisou-se o investimento de uma escola de 3.º ciclo do Ensino Básico e Secundário na sua biblioteca, tendo em conta as características, as competências informacionais e as necessidades da sua população discente, dominada, cada vez mais, pela diversidade cognitiva, socioeconómica, linguística e pelo multiculturalismo. Na sequência do referido, propõe-se um modelo de repositório institucional (RI) para uma escola do 3º ciclo do Ensino Básico e do Secundário – a Secundária Carolina Michaëlis (Cedofeita, Porto) – mas que terá a potencialidade de ser adaptado a outras escolas com características análogas. Metodologicamente, a investigação é um estudo que pretende identificar se as condições relativas à implementação de um repositório institucional se encontram reunidas. Os dados foram recolhidos através de entrevistas semiestruturadas aos docentes e de ques-tionários aos alunos. A nossa amostra foi composta por 120 alunos (4 turmas do Ensino Básico e 2 turmas do Ensino Secundário) e por 10 professores. Os dados foram analisados de forma quantitativa, no tocante aos resultados dos alunos, e qualitativa, no que respeita as entrevistas feitas aos professores. Os dados provenien-tes dos questionários dos alunos foram analisados com uma aplicação informática. A fim de analisar e interpretar os resultados, combinámos as diversas fontes de dados. Finalmente, apresentam-se os resultados e tecem-se algumas conclusões, na discussão, no seguimento da análise dos dados, apresentando-se algumas perspetivas para o futuro da organização visada no presente estudo. Cumprimos os objetivos traçados no início deste trabalho e confirmámos as hipóteses previamente levantadas, nomeadamente: (1) o acervo da escola não responde às neces-sidades informacionais da sua população; (2) os alunos são orientados e detêm compe-tências de pesquisa informacional e, finalmente, (3) existem condições materiais e humanas que favorecem a implementação de um repositório institucional, enquanto fator promotor da melhoria do funcionamento organizacional e do sucesso educativo.
This thesis aims to promote a reflection towards the search of a new direction for the school library; a reflection involving the librarian teacher, the school director and other teachers of Middle and High School, as well as students. We analyzed the investment in a library of a Middle and High School, taking into ac-count the characteristics, skills and informational needs of its student population, domi-nated increasingly by diverse cognitive, socio-economic and linguistic multiculturalism. Therefore, we propose a model of institutional repository, projected for a school that reunites Middle and High School graduation levels – the Secondary Carolina Michaëlis (Cedofeita, Oporto) –,which we believe that will have the potential to be adapted to oth-er schools with similar characteristics. Methodologically, the research is a study, which aims to identify whether the conditions for the implementation of an institutional repository are available. Data were collected through semi structured interviews and questionnaires directed for teachers and stu-dents, respectively. Our sample consisted of 120 students (4 classes of Middle School graders and 2 classes of High School students) and 10 teachers. The data had been analyzed in a quantitative manner regarding student outcomes, and qualitatively concerning the interviewed teachers. The results obtained from student questionnaires were analyzed with a computer application. In order to analyze and in-terpret the results, we combined the various sources. Finally, we present the results and draw some conclusions in the discussion following the data analysis, presenting some perspectives for the future of the organization re-ferred to in this study. We confirmed the objectives outlined earlier in this thesis as well as the hypothesis previously put forward, namely: (1) the school library collection does not meet the informational needs of its population, (2) students are guided and hold in-formational research skills, and finally (3), there are human and material conditions that favor the implementation of an institutional repository, while promoting organizational functioning and educational success.

Um dos desafios da educação brasileira é a grande quantidade de jovens que deveriam estar matriculados no Ensino Médio, mas que não estão frequentando a escola. Além disso, a taxa de abandono escolar nos anos iniciais do ensino médio é muito superior àquela encontrada no último ano do ensino fundamental. Nesse sentido, esse trabalho se propõe a investigar qual o papel da família no processo de transição e permanência no ensino médio. Para tanto, devido a disponibilidade de dados, será investigada uma coorte de alunos aprovados em 2010 no 9° ano do Ensino Fundamental no Estado do Ceará. Será estimado um sequential logit model, cujos regressores serão, além de algumas características individuais, informações referentes ao status socioeconômico da família e ao ambiente familiar. Existe uma vasta literatura que vem se desenvolvendo desde Mare (1980) buscando compreender o papel do background familiar na desigualdade educacional, tratando o processo de escolarização como uma sequência de decisões. Os resultados aqui encontrados, além de dialogar com essa literatura, apontam que a família é determinante, tanto para a entrada, como para a permanência no ensino médio, principalmente por meio da escolaridade dos pais. Esse efeito, todavia, é maior para aqueles que se defrontam com a decisão de entrada no ensino médio fora da idade ideal ou que exercem atividade remunerada quando não estão na escola.One of the challenges of Brazilian education is the large amount of young people who should be enrolled in high school, but who are not attending school. In addition, the drop-out rate in the early high school years is much higher than that found in the last grade of elementary school. Thus, this study aims to investigate the role of the family in transition and permanence in high school. Therefore, due to data availability, a cohort of students approved in 2010 in the last grade of elementary school in the state of Ceará will be investigated. Will be estimated to sequential logit model, whose covariates are, individual characteristics, information regarding socioeconomic status of the family and the family environment. There is a vast literature, that has been developing since Mare (1980), trying to understand the role of family background on educational inequality, treating the educational process as a sequence of decisions. The results found here, as well as dialogue with the literature, show that the family is crucial both for entry and for staying in high school, mainly through parental education. This effect, however, is higher for those who are faced with the decision to enter high school outside the ideal age or to engage in paid work when they are not in school.

Assim como as tecnologias da informação estão em constante evolução, a educação, desde o ensino básico ao superior, deve seguir em busca de novas e melhores formas de aprimorar o processo de ensino-aprendizagem, incorporando novas estratégias metodológicas baseadas na convergência dos meios de comunicação e a facilidade de uso das ferramentas digitais do cotidiano dos alunos nas atividades escolares. Tendo em mente esta convergência, este trabalho foi concebido para buscar e criar uma proposta de modelo de aplicação da narrativa transmídia na educação, como uma ferramenta metodológica que permita integrar a nova realidade educacional, levando em consideração a geração atual de alunos, “nativos digitais”, e os conceitos de ensino da educação contemporânea, introduzindo o uso das mídias e tecnologias nas atividades diárias e permitindo ultrapassar os limites físicos da escola por meio do uso dos ambientes virtuais de aprendizagem, mídias sociais e outras mídias, transformando alunos em personagens e participantes do processo da narrativa, além de criar possibilidades para a interdisciplinaridade dos componentes curriculares diversos e o despertar de novas competências e habilidades em alunos, professores e na comunidade escolar como um todo que pode representar um diferencial neste novo modelo.
As well as information technologies are constantly evolving, education from primary school to university must follow for new and better ways to improve the process of teaching and learning, incorporating new methodological strategies based on the convergence of the media and the ease use of digital tools in students' daily life in the school activities. Bearing in mind this convergence this work is designed to seek and create a proposal for a transmedia narrative application model for education, as a methodological tool that allows integrating new educational reality, taking into account the current generation of students, "digital natives", and the concepts of teaching contemporary education, introducing the use of media and technology in daily activities and allowing overcome the physical limits of school through the use of virtual learning environments, social networks and other medias, turning students into characters and participants in the narrative process and create the possibilities for interdisciplinary curriculum of the many components and the awakening of new skills and abilities in students, teachers and the school community as a whole that may represent a difference in this new model.

nÃo hÃTendo em vista os reconhecidos benefÃcios sociais e econÃmicos advindos da educaÃÃo, tanto em nÃvel individual quanto agregado, identificar os fatores que causam os problemas de evasÃo e repetÃncia escolar tem persistido como ponto importante na agenda de pesquisadores, seja de paÃses em desenvolvimento ou desenvolvidos. Nesse sentido, este estudo objetivou identificar os determinantes da evasÃo e da repetÃncia escolar no ensino mÃdio das escolas pÃblicas do CearÃ. Para tanto, foi utilizada a base de dados longitudinal do Sistema de AvaliaÃÃo Permanente da EducaÃÃo BÃsica (SPAECE) de 2008, acompanhada de 2009 a 2011, sobre a qual se construiu um modelo logÃstico multinÃvel que incorpora a natureza hierÃrquica dos dados, subdivididos em nÃveis de alunos e de escolas. Os resultados indicam a importÃncia do Programa Bolsa FamÃlia para a reduÃÃo da probabilidade, tanto para a ocorrÃncia de evasÃo, quanto de repetÃncia escolar. AlÃm disso, dentre os fatores que tÃm a maior influÃncia no aumento das chances de o aluno deixar a escola, estÃo o desinteresse pelos estudos e a persistÃncia de repetÃncia em anos anteriores. Sendo este Ãltimo, junto com o atraso escolar, os principais determinantes da retenÃÃo dos alunos cearenses. Uma vez que essas escolas possuem infraestruturas semelhantes, a intervenÃÃo dos educadores deve estar atrelada à motivaÃÃo dos alunos pelos estudos, atravÃs de medidas pedagÃgicas que os envolvam e os alertem efetivamente sobre os benefÃcios sociais e econÃmicos advindos pela acumulaÃÃo de educaÃÃo a mÃdio e longo prazo, tal como ocorre nos paÃses desenvolvidos.
Considering the overall benefits from education, the dropouts and school failures bring about severe consequences for economic progress and welfare of the population. The purpose of this study was to identify the determinants for the occurrence of such problems in public high schools of the State of CearÃ. For doing this, a longitudinal database of SPAECE of 2008, extended to 2009-2011, is applied to a multilevel logistic model on a hierarchical basis, which is divided in two dimensions: school and students. It is found evidence that factors associated with both the students themselves and their familiesâ status affects significantly the chances for dropouts and school failures. While the cash transfer (Bolsa FamÃlia) to studentâs household is an important mechanism to reduce the probability of dropout and school failure, the lack of students' dedications in school activities and persistency of failures are the main deficiencies for increasing the chances of dropouts from school. Since the sampled schools have similar infrastructure, the intervention of educators must be driven to student motivation in scholar activities, through educational measures that call for their attention and warn them effectively on the social and economic benefits arising from the accumulation of education in the medium and long term, as it occurs in developed countries.

Segundo a literatura especializada, diversas contribuições e benefícios para aprendizagem são reiteradamente apontados como possíveis através do Enriquecimento Escolar Amplo (EEa) de Renzulli e da Estimulação da Memória Operacional (eMO). Diante disso, considerou-se importante avaliar os benefícios dos mesmos sobre o desenvolvimento cognitivo e moral de estudantes do ensino médio por meio de uma pesquisa de caráter quase experimental. Compreender qual o impacto que programas de EEa e de eMO, combinados ou não, causariam sobre as capacidades intelectivas e morais dos estudantes foi o cerne deste trabalho, desenvolvido em duas escolas, nas cidades de Fortaleza e Maracanaú (CE). Delineou-se o estudo com nove grupos de alunos, assim constituídos: (2) EEa em ciências naturais, (1) EEa em desenvolvimento moral, (2) EEa em ciências naturais combinados a eMO, (2) EEa em desenvolvimento moral combinados a eMO e (2) controles. Os programas tiveram duração de 4 meses ao longo do segundo semestre de 2015 e foram autorizados pelo Parecer do Comitê de Ética n. 1.092.233. Iniciaram a participação desta pesquisa 87 alunos de uma escola particular e 114 de uma escola pública de natureza militar, porém apenas concluíram 34 da escola particular e 35 da escola pública. Foram empregados os seguintes instrumentos: para medição da inteligência, o G38, WISC IV e WAIS III; para medição da competência moral, MCT_xt (Teste de Competência Moral); para medição do estágio moral, SROM-SF; e para avaliar aspectos de autoconceito, a LHIPCEA (Lista de Habilidades, Interesses, Preferências, Características e Estílos de Aprendizagem). Os participantes foram avaliados em pré e pós testes apenas com o G38 e MCT_xt. Os dados foram avaliados de forma quantitativa e qualitativa. Como resultados, na parte quantitativa foram observados por análise de variância ganhos significativos quanto a elevação da inteligência medida pelo G38 para os alunos da EPu que receberam EEa + eMO, porém não foi possível afirmar qual das variáveis, EEa ou eMO, foi mais influente para o aumento da inteligência. Na análise estatística do MCT_xt, também foi identificada significância no aumento da competência moral para o tempo pré e pós teste, porém, devido ao baixo n de participantes, não se precisou estatisticamente se foi ou não devido a intervenção. Em outra análise para o MCT_xt, conforme os critérios de Lind, existiram ganhos significativos nas médias do C índice, com 5,89 e 7,83 pontos para as escolas partícular e pública, respectivamente. Quanto ao SROM, foram encontradas diferenças significativas entre os grupos testes e controles. Também houve correlação significativa entre G38 e SROM e entre WISC IV/WAIS III e SROM, mas não é possível estabelecer causalidade entre inteligência e o estágio moral. Não foram encontrados efeitos diretos de aumento da memória operacional dos alunos, apenas indiretos. Em termos qualitativos, foram identificadas sensíveis melhoras no desempenho, raciocínio e capacidade de produção autêntica. Conclui-se que o EEa combinado com a eMO pode trazer significativos benefícios sobre a cognição e a moralidade dos estudantes, tendo-se por base os ganhos aferidos pelos instrumentos G38 e MCT_xt, além das evidências comportamentais relativas a motivação e produtividade acadêmica dos alunos.
According to specialized literature, several contributions and benefits to learning are really pointed as possible through Schoolwide Enrichment Model (SEM) by Renzully and Working Memory Stimulation (sWM). In face of that, it was relevant to evaluate their benefits on cognitive and moral development of high school students by an experimental research. Understanding what impact caused by SEM and sWM programs combined or not would cause on students’ moral and intellective capacities was the core of this study developed in two schools in Fortaleza and Maracanaú (CE). The study was designed with a nine student group. It was composed of: (2) SEM in natural sciences, (1) SEM in moral development, (2) SEM in natural sciences combined with sWM, (2) SEM in moral development combined with sWM and (2) control groups. The programs lasted 4 months during the second semester of 2015 and they were authorized by Ethic Committee n. 1.092.233. 87 private school students and 114 military public school students took part of this study; however, just 35 from public school and 34 from private school went all the way to the end. To measure intelligence, it was used G38, WISC IV and WAIS III; To measure moral competence, MCT_xt (Moral Competence Test); To measure moral stage, SROM-SF; and to evaluate self concept aspects, LHIPCEA (Skills, Interests, Preferences, Characteristics and Learning Styles). The subjects were evaluated by G38 and MCT_xt pre and post tests. Data were evaluated quantitatively and qualitatively. As results, as far as quantity is concerned, significant gains were observed by variance analysis when it comes to intelligence increase measured by G38 on public school students who took SEM + sWM, however, it was not possible to state which one of the variables, SEM or sWM, was more influential to intelligence gain. In Statistical analysis of MCT_xt, it was also identified significant increase on moral competence on pre and post tests, but, due to the low number of subjects, it was impossible to infer if it was or not because of the intervention. In other analysis for the MCT_xt, according to Lind criteria, there were meaningful gains on index C averages, 5,89 and 7,83 points for private and public schools respectively. As for the SROM, significant differences were found between test and control groups. There was also significant correlation between G38 and SROM and between WISC IV/WAIS and SROM, but it is not possible to establish causality between intelligence and moral stage. Direct effects of memory increase were not found on students. Only indirect effects. As for the qualitative data, sensitive improvements were identified on performance, reasoning and authentic production capacity. We conclude that SEM combined with sWM can bring meaningful benefits on cognition and students’ morality when we use as foundation the measured gains by G38 and MCT_xt, besides the behavioral evidences related to motivation and academic productivity of students.

Este estudo é resultado de uma investigação feita a partir da análise de produções escritas espontâneas, controladas e de entrevistas realizadas junto a dois grupos de alunos do ensino médio do IFSUL – Câmpus Pelotas Visconde da Graça (CaVG): Grupo Transversal e Grupo Longitudinal, com a finalidade de mapear, descrever e analisar os tipos de erros ortográficos produzidos. Os erros foram classificados em dois grandes grupos: motivados pela fonética/fonologia da língua ou motivados por dificuldades advindas do sistema ortográfico. Os resultados da análise dos dados produzidos pelo Grupo Transversal, composto por 273 alunos de primeiros, segundos e terceiros anos permitiu o mapeamento dos principais tipos de erros ortográficos produzidos e orientou as coletas posteriores realizadas junto ao Grupo Longitudinal, composto por 15 sujeitos acompanhados de 2011 a 2014 e divididos em três grupos, a saber,Grupo 1 (fortes), Grupo 2 (medianos) e Grupo 3 (fracos) em questões ortográficas. A hipótese inicial desta investigação foi a de que haveria relação entre o quantitativo de erros ortográficos encontrados e o formato do conhecimento ortográfico, segundo o Modelo deRedescrição Representacional (MRR) de Karmiloff-Smith (1986, 1994). Os resultados da investigação mostraram que os tipos de erros ortográficos encontrados nas coletas junto a ambos os grupos – Transversal e Longitudinal eram análogos Verificou-se, ainda, que os tipos de erros ortográficos mais recorrentes e numerosos nas produções textuais dos informantes de ambos os grupos pesquisados eram, em primeiro lugar, advindos das chamadas irregularidades do sistema ortográfico, em especial os casos de representação do fonema/s/ e do fonema/z/, seguidos dos erros ortográficos relacionados à motivação fonética da língua e dos erros ortográficos relacionados à segmentação não-convencional da escrita (hipo e hipersegmentação), sendo a hipossegmentação mais numerosa nos dados do que a hipersegmentação. Tais erros ortográficos correspondem a cerca de 75% dos dados totais desta pesquisa.Em relação aos níveis do MRR verificou-se que a hipótese levantada foi corroborada, uma vez que houve correspondência entre os três grupos (forte, medianos e fracos em questões ortográficas) e os níveis de representação do conhecimento ortográfico entre Explícito 2 (E2) e Explícito 3 Consciente Verbal (E3). Verificou-se que os informantes com menor quantidade de erros ortográficos (Grupo 1) apresentaram quase que a totalidade dos momentos da entrevista categorizados segundo o nível do MRR Explícito 3 Consciente Verbal (E3); já os informantes do Grupo 2 (medianos) embora apresentassem vários momentos da entrevista caracterizados como de E3 tiveram, na sua maioria, momentos da entrevista categorizados como de E2, ou seja, no nível do MRR caracterizado como sendo aquele em que já existe análise acerca do conhecimento, embora este ainda não possa ser verbalizado. Finalmente, os informantes do Grupo 3 (fracos) praticamente não apresentaram momentos categorizados como sendo de E3, tendo tido os momentos de sua entrevista quase todos categorizados como E2. Em relação às estratégias utilizadas pelos sujeitos para orientar suas escolhas ortográficas constatou-se que os informantes dos Grupos 1 e 2, respectivamente fortes e medianos em questões ortográficas, utilizaram estratégias tais como o acesso à memória visual ou seguiram procedimentos analógicos da língua para chegar à grafia correta das palavras. Já os informantes do Grupo 3 utilizaram esporadicamente a memória visual e os processos analógicos e, preferencialmente, utilizaram a fala como estratégia para orientar suas grafias. Observou-se, ainda, correlação positiva entre o nível E3 do MRR dos informantes com o uso de estratégias tais como ‘memória visual’ e ‘processos analógicos’ e o nível E2 do MRR dos informantes com o uso da estratégia ‘escrita apoiada na oralidade’. A conclusão deste estudo vai ao sentido de que se faz necessário, mesmo no ensino médio, lançar mão de estratégias capazes de desenvolver e consolidar o conhecimento ortográfico dos alunos.
This study is the result of thorough analysis of spontaneous and controlled writing productions and interviews carried out with two groups of high school students from IFSUL – Câmpus Pelotas Visconde da Graça (CaVG): Transversal Group and Longitudinal Group, aiming to map, analyze and describe the types of orthographic mistakes present in both groups’ writing. These mistakes were arranged in two groups: those of phonetic/phonological motivation and those related to difficulty to grasp the rules and irregularities of the orthographic system.The Transversal Group was comprised of 237 students from all of the institution’s high school grades, and the data analysis of their writing allowed the identification and mapping of the most common types of orthographic mistakes, data which then oriented the following data gatherings with the Longitudinal Group, consisting of 15 subjects who were monitored from 2011 to 2014 and divided in three groups: Group 1 (strong), Group 2 (average), Group 3 (weak) regarding orthographic knowledge. The original hypothesis suggested that the amount of orthographic mistakes found and the type of orthographic knowledge would be correlated, according to Karmiloff-Smith’s Representational Redescription Model (RR) (1986, 1994).The results of this investigation showed that the types of orthographic mistakes found in both groups’ – Transversal and Longitudinal - writing productions were analogous.It was also noticed that the most recurring types of orthographic mistakes in the subjects’ writing, from both groups analyzed, were mainly related to the so called irregularities of the orthographic system, particularly in cases when the phonemes /s/ and /z/ are represented, followed by orthographic mistakes of phonetic motivation and mistakes relating nonconventional segmentation of the written word (hipo and hipersegmentation), the cases of hiposegmentation being more numerous than those of hipersegmentation. Such mistakes constitute approximately 75% of the overall research data.The original research hypothesis was, in the end, confirmed since correspondence was found between the three groups (strong, average and weak regarding orthographic knowledge) and their representation levels of orthographic knowledge which ranges from Explicit 2 (E2) to Explicit 3 (E3) Verbally Aware. It was noticed that the subjects who made less orthographic mistakes (Group 1) showed in their interviews a higher level of verbal awareness (Explicit 3 Verbally Aware, according to the RR model definitions); subjects belonging to Group 2 (average) showed overall orthographic awareness but couldn’t articulate it, placing them in the E2 category. Finally, Group 3 (weak) subjects were also placed in the E2 category, showing virtually no signs of unawareness in their interviews. Regarding the subjects’ strategic choices, it was noted that those from Groups 1 and 2 – strong and average regarding orthographic knowledge, respectively – relied on strategies such as accessing their visual memory or followed similar procedures to find the correct writing whereas subjects from Group 3, rather than relying on their visual memory, would use their speaking competence as a guide to their writing. It was noted still a positive correlation between RR level E3 subjects and the use of visual memory, as well as E2 level subjects and oral-based writing strategies. The conclusion drawn buy this study is that it is necessary, as soon as high school, to devise strategies to consolidate and further the student’s orthographic knowledge.

In this article I present findings of a survey regarding native and non-native teachers in bilingual education, in relation to a subtype of CLIL programs in a Hungarian school context. I focus specifically on the use of Italian as a Foreign Language used as a vehicular language. Through audio recordings of 10 lessons and 6 interviews carried out during teacher observations in three high schools and in one elementary school, I examine the spontaneous language behaviour of native and non-native teachers in disciplinary subjects, such as History, Geography, Civilization and Ethics, during lessons carried out in Italian.

Globally, choosing the right tertiary programme for university (higher) education is quite a difficult task for students. A wide range of programmes are offered by the individual universities which differ in terms of delivery modes and entry requirements. Technology inclusion in the 21st century has paved the way for the proliferation of electronic/computing systems such as electronic counseling (e-counseling) and electronic learning (e-learning). By employing a quantitative research instrument (questionnaire) to ascertain technology acceptance of Senior High School (SHS) in Ghana, this chapter proposes a web-based (e-counseling) expert system which will match students' backgrounds with the right tertiary programme towards career development. Evaluation of our proposed approach suggests that majority of the selected students (80%) out of 100 who used the system accepted and embraced it. Such a system will therefore solve and improve career guidance, counseling, and development problems of SHS students in Ghana.

This chapter introduces Arnold Thurman, the basketball coach at all-white Bagdad High School in Shelby County. Thurman had played basketball at Berea College with African American players, and he welcomed black schools into the KHSAA. But Thurman faced resistance from the Bagdad fans and from at least one of his players. Thurman told his principal that if Bagdad were ever to achieve its goal of playing in the state tournament, it would have to play teams with African American players. Thurman became the first white coach to schedule a game with Lincoln Institute. Gilliard began constructing his team along the lines of Tennessee State, whose coach, John McLendon, favored a fast-breaking offense and a pressing defense. The integration of Kentucky's public schools progressed modestly in the 1957–1958 school year and avoided the unrest that erupted elsewhere, such as in Montgomery, Alabama, and Little Rock, Arkansas.

This semester long case study in a rural high school Introduction to Computer Visualization course focused on a detailed analysis of pedagogical approaches, the learning environment, and students’ performance outcomes. Classroom observations, student interviews, and instructor’s commentary yielded insights regarding how students learn to create virtual 3D models and what contexts for learning best support the modeling processes students’ learned in the course (tool use, tool path patterns, time management, and accuracy of the modeled structure). The social learning environment of this particular classroom, the combination of didactic, guided practice and exploratory modes of inquiry, self-selected work groupings, and peer designations of expertise that supported multiple problem solving approaches were powerful mediators of students’ learning resulting in high quality modeling products.

Full textAbstract:
Literate demands on our youth today have become increasingly more complex due to a technological revolution, increased local diversity and a stronger connectedness with our global neighbours (New London Group, 1996). Contemporary classrooms are characterised by a diverse range of learners that come from different places, with different life world experiences and preferred ways of learning and knowing. Texts are no longer confined to print and comprehending texts involves understanding how different modes such as the audio, visual and spatial integrate to make meaning. Despite this, schools continue to measure and describe student’s literacy in relation to their ability to encode and decode print. The recent Program for International Student Assessment results (OECD, 2006) show that Australia has dropped from 5th ranking to 6th in the world in terms of reading literacy. More disturbing is the fact that this assessment showed a continuing widening gap in academic achievement between Australia’s Indigenous and non Indigenous students with very little improvement since 2000. Similarly in the United States recent literacy results show that despite some gains in the achievements of minority groups, there has been little narrowing in the gap between white students and minority students (Lee, Grigg et al., 2007). This chapter adopts a socio-cultural view of literacy and calls for a rethinking of what might count as literacy in school. It reports on a study which documented the literacy practices valued in the home community, community school and urban high school of seven Aboriginal students as they moved from Year 7 in their community school to Year 8 in their new urban high school (Rennie, Wallace et al. 2004). It discusses theoretical ideas related to a multiliteracies framework (Cope & Kalantzis, 2000), literacy as an act of translation (Somerville, 2006) and Aboriginal world views and knowledge (Martin, 2008) as a means to explore ways we might rethink the teaching of literacy in diverse and culturally rich classrooms.

Full textAbstract:
Schools in America have danced to different drummers during their long history. Sometimes the drumbeat demanded rigidity in all programs; sometimes it wanted academic learning for only a few. Sometimes it encouraged unleashing children’s creativity, not teaching them facts. Sometimes it wanted children to solve the social problems, such as racial segregation, adults could not handle. Sometimes it tacitly supported some schools as warehouses, not instructional facilities. Sometimes it sought schooling to be the equalizer in a society in which the gap between rich and poor was growing. Sometimes the principal purpose of schooling seemed to be teaching citizenship and developing habits of work appropriate for a democratic society, while at other times its purpose seemed to be preparation for employment, which needed the same habits of work but also some academic skills. Now, the drumbeat demands that all children achieve academically at a high level and the measure of that achievement is tests. The rhythm and tempo of the drumbeats have shifted relatively frequently, but the schools have not adjusted to the new musical scores with alacrity. They are typically just beginning to master the previous drummers’ music when new drummers appear. Many, though not all, of the new beats have been improvements both for the children and for the nation. All drummers have sought literacy in English for American children, though very modest literacy levels have been acceptable in the past. Drummers have always sought a few students who attained high levels of academic achievement, including children from disparate social, economic, and racial backgrounds. Beyond that consensus, however, what we have wanted from schooling has changed dramatically over time. These expectations for schools typically have been expressed through criticisms—often virulent—of current school practices, and the responses that followed inevitably were slower and less complete than the most ardent critics demanded. These are the shifting assignments given to schools. The following chapters of this book describe these shifting assignments given to schools and then to colleges during the last century: “Assimilation: 1900– 1920”; “Adjustment: 1920–1954”; “Access: 1954–1983”; and “Achievement: 1983–Present.”

Chapter 1 focuses on the school administration’s overarching goal of transforming students. It analyzes the contradictions teachers and administrators face as they simultaneously work to validate and transform students’ modes of self-making. The chapter begins by describing the intersectional anxieties surrounding violence, pregnancy, and poverty that are associated with Latinx youth socialization in the Chicago context. It goes on to show how these anxieties are heightened within the context of an open-enrollment neighborhood high school. The chapter argues that the transformation of students into “Young Latino Professionals,” which is formulated as an intersectional mobility project, becomes an ambivalent negotiation that alternately locates the “problem” within the students themselves and outsiders’ perceptions of them.

This chapter examines current technology that may be used to enhance the learning process. Although technology changes rapidly on a near-daily basis, the hardware and software discussed here are currently available and being used to assist teachers in their presentations and to assist students in their learning. Assistive technology provides a unique manner in which to give students instructional supports in the classroom. From introducing new concepts to providing interactive repetition to alternative modes of assessment, technology has changed the modern-day classroom. Middle school and high school teachers clearly focus on their specific content area, but they may have trouble assisting students who exhibit learning problems. The technology in this chapter has been chosen specifically to satisfy that purpose.

Introduction: it is necessary to assess the way students spend their free time in the final years of high school due to the poor results that have appeared recently in the baccalaureate exams. Methods: the study was carried out using a group of 202 students from the 11th and 12th grades from a National College (117 pupils) and a High School (85 pupils) from the city of Dorohoi, Botosani County. The young people filled in a questionnaire with questions about leisure activities and social relationships. The results were processed using Pearson's chi-squared test. Results and discussions: The time allocated daily for physical activity is mostly 15-30 minutes (23.76%) with significant differences between the two schools (p˂0.05). The time spent watching TV is mostly 0.5-1 hours (35.64%) with insignificant differences between grades (p>0.05). Most students (44.05%) do not sit at the computer, the calculated differences being statistically insignificant (p>0.05). When looking at social relationships we take into account friends, where in the majority of cases (32.4%) students have „one” true friend. This is a usual result because in this period of the adolescent's life the role the group of friends plays decreases, with significant differences between school years (p˂0.05). In their free time, they go out into town, mostly 2-3 evenings per week (28.71%), but there are also 31.68% negative answers. Parents are less concerned about school activity (“never” answers – 34.15%) with significant differences between grades (p˂0.01). Parents are also less concerned with the way their children spend their free time (“never” answers – 34.65%) with significant differences between school years (p˂0.05). Conclusions: there is a series of situations that guide us towards a modest concern for the future, both from students and their parents.

La clase invertida es un modelo pedagógico creado en 2012 por Jonathan Bergmann y Aaron Sams, profesores de Química en Woodland Park High School (Woodland Park Colorado).En este modelo, el profesor, en lugar de utilizar el tiempo de la clase para introducir nueva materia (vía lección magistral), previamente a que tenga lugar la clase proporciona a los alumnos, a través de la plataforma virtual, material docente (videos, artículos, podcast, etc.) para ayudarles a clarificar la materia objeto de estudio, de manera que puede utilizar el tiempo de la clase para realizar actividades docentes colaborativas. El material docente debe incluir las ideas principales de la unidad de estudio y puede ser creado por el profesor o descargado de internet. Esta actividad se ha desarrollado en el primer cuatrimestre del curso 2018-19 en las asignaturas Farmacología Clínica en el Grado de Farmacia y Farmacología del Grado en Medicina. Basándonos en los resultados obtenidos, la actividad ha resultado muy interesante para los estudiantes. La clase invertida les ha ayudado a clarificar conceptos y algunos estudiantes han considerado que tener conocimientos previos es importante para realizar la actividad, aunque no es esencial.

Abstract With the recent advancement of metallic additive manufacturing (AM), it is perceived that future gas turbines will be manufactured with significantly fewer parts, leading to both financial and safety improvements achieved from reductions in weight, assembly processes and failure modes associated with welded parts. In addition the design and manufacture of highly intricate parts such as fuel atomizers become free from the constraints of tooling, facilitating more complex internal flow geometries to be conceived which afford improved atomization, flame stability and hence combustion efficiency. However, it is noted that increased dimensional tolerances and surface roughness resulting from this manufacturing technique can detrimentally impact internal air and fuel flow paths and hence warrant further investigation. In this study a small-scale (200kW) pre-filming airblast atomizer, based on the Parker Hannifin commercial concept, and typical of injectors utilized in RQL aviation combustors, was manufactured by Cardiff School of Engineering’s High Value Manufacturing Laboratories. Direct metal laser sintering, was utilized to produce a fully operational single component part, manufactured in 316-grade stainless steel using a Renishaw AM250 system, providing a part with measured surface roughness (Ra) values of 12–26 μm in agreement with expected values reported in the literature. Operation of the injector as a single fluid atomizer demonstrated that the fuel channel and integrated swirlers were sufficiently accurate and concentric to result in a uniform spray pattern, displaying global liquid sheet structures which were in agreement with those previously reported. However, the effective area of the atomizer’s air-flow path, when evaluated using differential pressure measurements, was shown to be smaller than predicted, resulting in an increased pressure drop. Laser diffraction droplet sizing was utilized to evaluate the global SMD of the prefilming airblast water spray at atmospheric conditions, across a range of air to liquid ratios. SMD’s between 4.2–115μm were measured at corresponding air-flow rates of 3–25 g/s, with droplet sizes observed to decrease exponentially at higher air-flow rates. This data is again in excellent agreement with SMD correlations previously proposed. Flame stability experiments conducted at ambient pressure and elevated air temperature, demonstrated the stability of a conventional (JET A-1) fuel flame across a range of air and fuel flow rates, representative of pressure drops and AFRs in commercial operation. Further post-processing of the internal flow path walls and swirl vanes to reduce surface roughness is anticipated to result in a lower pressure drop across the air-path geometry, highlighting the potential for further improvements in AM injector performance.

Full textAbstract:
For the plain orifice nozzle configuration, breakup mode analysis of the issuing liquid jet has been extensively, over the years, undertaken. The works of Rayleigh, Haenlein, Ohnesorge, Reitz and others have used an Ohnesorge-Reynolds chart to clearly characterize breakup into four distinct modes. These include: (1) Rayleigh, (2) first wind induced, (3) second wind induced, and (4) prompt atomization. Planar liquid sheet flows have not undergone such intensive characterization analysis. In this work a non-expanding (nor thinning) liquid sheet is injected into a quiescent volume of gas from a planar nozzle of constant opening height. The flow has no co-flowing gas stream nor air-assistance to drive the disintegration. The nozzle configuration and subsequent liquid primary breakup is somewhat similar to an outward opening fuel injector having an annular outlet with a large radius to needle lift height ratio. The numerical experiments in this work use a high fidelity Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) modeling approach. This includes the Volume-Of-Fluid (VOF) two-phase method to represent the liquid and gas fluids both considered to be incompressible, coupled with the Large Eddy Simulation (LES) treatment of turbulence modeling. The initial primary breakup of the liquid sheet into large droplets, ligaments and other structures is the main focus of the modeling. As such, secondary breakup and possible evaporation of the liquid is not considered. Due to the configuration of the planar nozzle, upstream cavitation of the liquid within the nozzle is also not considered. Breakup studies were conducted within the Reynolds number range of 3,000 to 23,400, and Ohnesorge number range of 0.004 to 0.1. Results are extensively validated with the works of Heukelbach and Scholz. In-nozzle velocity profiles are characterized with Reynolds number showing laminar, semi- and fully-turbulent states in the flow boundary layer and core. Velocity profile relaxation is studied as the liquid sheet transitions from a wall-bounded flow within the nozzle to a free shear flow surrounded by gas. Particularly, the axial velocity component is seen to weaken, whilst the sheet normal velocity component strengthens and aids in disintegration of the liquid sheet.

Full textAbstract:
School-related gender-based violence (SRGBV) remains difficult to measure because of high sensitivity and response bias. However, most SRGBV measurement relies on face-to-face (FTF) survey administration, which is susceptible to increased social desirability bias. Widely used in research on sensitive topics, Audio Computer-Assisted Self-Interview (ACASI) allows subjects to respond to pre-recorded questions on a computerized device, providing respondents with privacy and confidentiality. This brief contains the findings from a large-scale study conducted in Uganda in 2019 where primary grade 3 students were randomly selected to complete surveys using either ACASI or FTF administration. The surveys covered school climate, gender attitudes, social-emotional learning, and experiences of SRGBV. Through this study, we find that although most survey responses were comparable between ACASI and FTF groups, the reporting of experiences of sexual violence differed drastically: 43% of students in the FTF group versus 77% of students in the ACASI group reported experiencing sexual violence in the past school term. We also find that factor structures are similar for data collected with ACASI compared with data collected FTF, though there is weaker evidence for construct validity for both administration modes. We conclude that ACASI is a valuable tool in measuring sensitive sub-topics of SRGBV and should be utilized over FTF administration, although further psychometric testing of these surveys is recommended.

Pritchett, Lant, and Martina Viarengo. Learning Outcomes in Developing Countries: Four Hard Lessons from PISA-D. Research on Improving Systems of Education (RISE), April 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.35489/bsg-rise-wp_2021/069.
Full textAbstract:
The learning crisis in developing countries is increasingly acknowledged (World Bank, 2018). The UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) include goals and targets for universal learning and the World Bank has adopted a goal of eliminating learning poverty. We use student level PISA-D results for seven countries (Cambodia, Ecuador, Guatemala, Honduras, Paraguay, Senegal, and Zambia) to examine inequality in learning outcomes at the global, country, and student level for public school students. We examine learning inequality using five dimensions of potential social disadvantage measured in PISA: sex, rurality, home language, immigrant status, and socio-economic status (SES)—using the PISA measure of ESCS (Economic, Social, and Cultural Status) to measure SES. We document four important facts. First, with the exception of Ecuador, less than a third of the advantaged (male, urban, native, home speakers of the language of instruction) and ESCS elite (plus 2 standard deviations above the mean) children enrolled in public schools in PISA-D countries reach the SDG minimal target of PISA level 2 or higher in mathematics (with similarly low levels for reading and science). Even if learning differentials of enrolled students along all five dimensions of disadvantage were eliminated, the vast majority of children in these countries would not reach the SDG minimum targets. Second, the inequality in learning outcomes of the in-school children who were assessed by the PISA by household ESCS is mostly smaller in these less developed countries than in OECD or high-performing non-OECD countries. If the PISA-D countries had the same relationship of learning to ESCS as Denmark (as an example of a typical OECD country) or Vietnam (a high-performing developing country) their enrolled ESCS disadvantaged children would do worse, not better, than they actually do. Third, the disadvantages in learning outcomes along four characteristics: sex, rurality, home language, and being an immigrant country are absolutely large, but still small compared to the enormous gap between the advantaged, ESCS average students, and the SDG minimums. Given the massive global inequalities, remediating within-country inequalities in learning, while undoubtedly important for equity and justice, leads to only modest gains towards the SDG targets. Fourth, even including both public and private school students, there are strikingly few children in PISA-D countries at high levels of performance. The absolute number of children at PISA level 4 or above (reached by roughly 30 percent of OECD children) in the low performing PISA-D countries is less than a few thousand individuals, sometimes only a few hundred—in some subjects and countries just double or single digits. These four hard lessons from PISA-D reinforce the need to address global equity by “raising the floor” and targeting low learning levels (Crouch and Rolleston, 2017; Crouch, Rolleston, and Gustafsson, 2020). As Vietnam and other recent successes show, this can be done in developing country settings if education systems align around learning to improve the effectiveness of the teaching and learning processes to improve early learning of foundational skills.
