Professional development that aims to build school change capacity requires spaces for collaborative action and reflection. These spaces should promote learning and foster skills for distributed leadership in managing school change.The present study analyses the case of the Seminar for Critical Citizenship (SCC) established by teachers of infant, primary, secondary and higher education to experiment with and share innovative practices. A focus group was formed firstly to identify which factors SCC participants perceived as influencing the development of this leadership for change, and secondly, to verify whether the SCC offers a space where the development of distributed leadership is promoted.We find that while it enables a network for collaboration, egalitarian dialogue and empowerment, certain tensions persist between theory and practice, and in attitudes towards innovation and school culture.
We conducted a study of homophobia among Spanish school students as perceived and expressed in three different contexts: education, the family and social. A survey on adolescence and sexual diversity was administered to 128 tenth-grade students in their 4th year of secondary school in Castellón, Spain. A descriptive approach was taken to survey design and analysis. Frequencies, percentages and Student's t-tests were conducted to analyse differences by gender. Results reveal relatively high levels of homophobic attitudes and the clear need for intervention at the educational level.
El objetivo de este capítulo es abordar la relevancia de la Alfabetización Mediática e Informacional (AMI), especialmente entre la juventud. Para ello, el texto comienza respondiendo a qué entendemos por AMI y al por qué y para qué es necesario incluirla dentro del sistema educativo formal del siglo XXI. En un segundo apartado nos centraremos en el contexto donde ubicamos nuestra propuesta: el sistema de educación formal de la juventud en el estado español. Analizaremos cómo se está abordando la competencia informacional y mediática en los niveles de educación secundaria y bachillerato y cuáles son los retos de los centros educativos, del estudiantado y del profesorado.
Palabras clave: alfabetización mediática e informacional, educación, revisión conceptual, evolución histórica, juventud, competencia informacional, competencia mediática, educación formal.
El objetivo de este artículo es mostrar los resultados del análisis de 19 historias de vida de mujeres lesbianas y bisexuales para indagar sobre las barreras de exclusión que han estado presentes en su experiencia vital. El análisis de los relatos se ha realizado utilizando el modelo Encontrando Vidas (Francisco y Moliner, 2015). Los resultados evidencian cómo el sistema heteronormativo, entendido como eje central de opresión de cualquier identidad, rol, práctica u orientación que se salga de la norma, atraviesa las vivencias personales a todos los niveles, mostrando la necesidad de continuar trabajando para que todas las personas sean ciudadanas de pleno derecho
