“…d) The category of disability in the education system includes school failure, such as the impossibility of the education system to award the degree or graduation from compulsory education to all students and enable them to continue their education [54]. It is seen as a schoolʼs failure to provide adequate support and assistance to all students in achieving academic success [55].…”

Introduction. This study aims to examine the issue of high school failure in social sciences through a systematic review. It aims to provide a critical assessment of research on this subject. It seeks to question the very construct of high school failure, its premises, and the possible consequences from this perspective. Materials and Methods. The research published between 2010–2020, both in Spanish and English in the Scopus and Web of Science databases (Core collection), was considered. A total of 171 articles were identified. After initial screening, 37 papers were finally selected. Semantic maps were created with the Vosviewer. The literature was examined to determine where high school failure is being researched, what type of methodologies are most used and, finally, what impact the research has had on our understanding of this concept. Results. It was found that most of the research on the topic is done in the field of education, and that the methodology used is predominantly quantitative. The different definitions of high school failure tended to attribute its cause to one or more of four reasons: student failure, multicausal phenomena, social exclusion, and finally, disability in the education system. Discussion and Conclusion. It is possible to understand that high school failure is understood and defined as mostly involving studentsʼ responsibility for the academic outcome and achievement obtained. Although studies that cover such factors as a multicausal nature, social exclusion, and the education systemʼs difficulty can be found, the responsibility for failure tends to be attributed to the individual student.

PurposeSchools are complex and imperfect organizations; thus, it is not possible for school leaders to completely avoid failures. The capacity to learn from failure is essential to the effectiveness of teachers as individuals and for teams and schools. However, it is hardly practiced in most schools. The present theoretical article seeks to offer an integrative conceptual framework in which intelligent failure is conceptualized as an organizational learning process. The purpose is twofold: first, to address the question of why school faculty fails to learn from failure; second, to show how learning from intelligent failure in the school context can be framed as a resource for school improvement.Design/methodology/approachThe present theoretical article seeks to offer an integrative conceptual framework in which intelligent failure is conceptualized as an organizational learning process.FindingsThe present study draws upon the social capital theory as an overarching framework to develop a conceptual model that incorporates the learning settings and a leadership tolerant of “intelligent failure” that might enable us to identify the root causes of failure and the kinds of lessons that can be drawn from failure analysis. In the proposed conceptual model, school organizational features combine with a leadership tolerant of intelligent failures to enhance opportunities to analyze, manage and learn from intelligent failures in school settings.Originality/valueAn important lacuna in educational scholarship is that although detecting and correcting school failures is normal, investigating the root causes of these failures or pinpointing the behaviors necessary to avoid their reoccurrence is often neglected in both theory and practice. By integrating research from both non-educational and educational literature, this study may provide a new perspective for school management, since it emphasizes the reframing of intelligent failure as an organizational asset for school improvement. The present study broadens the literature on educational management and organizational learning and provides a new approach for school failures and failure management.

Objetivo: La presente investigación analiza los factores que determinan el fracaso escolar en España, utilizando la “Encuesta Social 2010: Educación y Hogares en Andalucía”[1], mediante una muestra de 5032 casos, de gran representatividad. Originalidad/aporte: El fracaso escolar es un tema de sumo interés socioeducativo en las investigaciones actuales, así como un objetivo prioritario de actuación para la Unión Europea debido a las altas tasas registradas en los últimos años. Método: Parte de un análisis sistematizado documental desde un enfoque cuantitativo. Estrategias/recolección de información: Se realiza una explotación de datos secundarios de la encuesta, haciendo inferencia con la situación actual mediante dos modelos de regresión logística binaria para las cohortes de edad. Los resultados muestran una brecha de sexo en la probabilidad de fracaso escolar, ya que las mujeres obtienen menor riesgo. El nivel sociofamiliar indica que la importancia que otorgan los padres/madres/tutores a la educación no es un factor que influye en el fracaso escolar; sin embargo, el control parental hacia los estudios de educación secundaria disminuye su probabilidad. El nivel socioeconómico familiar representa un factor prioritario que interviene en la probabilidad de que se produzca. Conclusiones: Los hallazgos realzan la necesidad de adecuación y actualización de los datos sobre los factores que determinan el fracaso escolar desde una perspectiva socioeducativa y de género, de modo que permitan una intervención socioeducativa y la aplicación de políticas educativas-sociales coherentes con la realidad social, atendiendo a las características y condiciones específicas del alumnado, a fin de ejercer acciones de prevención, fomentar el desarrollo integral e integración social.
