El estudio al que se refiere este artículo pretende identificar factores internos y externos que son constitutivos de la brecha salarial de género en una institución científica, concretamente en la Universidad de Valencia, que se analizan a partir de los datos del registro de nóminas de 2015. Se ha examinado la brecha salarial ajustada por hora trabajada, la brecha doblemente ajustada (por hora y categoría) y triplemente ajustada (por hora, categoría y complemento retributivo). La brecha salarial de género se ha manifestado en todas las categorías del profesorado investigador y es más intensa cuando se tienen hijos e hijas. La magnitud de la brecha y el peso de los componentes varían entre categorías profesionales y entre áreas de conocimiento. Se concluye que esta brecha no es el resultado de una diferencia de méritos entre académicas y académicos, sino de la estructura de funcionamiento de las universidades y de la estructura social general.
The institutionalisation of equality policy in science, both at the national and the European scale, should facilitate progress towards equality in a space that wants to consider itself merit (and ability) driven. But discriminatory practices, both conscious and unconscious, direct or indirect, leave women out of many of the positions that they should occupy according to their accomplishments and capabilities. Many scientific institutions and their professionals still do not understand that if gender equality is only formally achieved and actual compliance is not monitored, they will lose part of the talent they are trying to cultivate.
In Spain, in the last few years, continuous teacher education has shifted from concentrating on a technological paradigm to developing new approaches which regard the teacher as the main agent of change and curriculum innovation. From this perspective we suggest a programme of professional development based on Habermas' Critical Theory and on a process of action research in which the teachers are involved as active subjects of their own learning.
