“…Rather, as the work of Arnold (1998, pp 4-5) into rural school-community relations suggests, 'notions of simple, direct and easily forged and maintained relationships, should be abandoned'. Indeed, just because parents may gather outside the village school gates does not in itself constitute a strong and robust school-community relationship (Hargreaves, et al, 2009). However, in certain social contexts such as the case in Minbury, where local schooling appears to reinforce 'identification with a community (Woods 2006, p.587), so 'informal school-gate conversations between parents', may indeed 'contribute to the structuring of community engagement' (ibid, p.587).…”

“…In this article, by holistically exploring the role and place of the village school in two contrasting English rural communities, we seek to uncover the important but relatively under-researched interrelationship between the local village school and its community (Hargreaves, Kvalsund, & Galton, 2009). In so doing, we attend to the 1 ESRC grant number RES-000-22-3412.…”

“…Zajištění a podobu základního školství totiž velmi silně formují čtyři hlavní faktory, na jejichž výčtu se shoduje mnoho odborníků v oblasti výzkumu vzdělávání [viz např. Dvořák et al 2010;Nekorjak, Souralová, Vomastková 2011;Hargreaves, Kvalsund, Galton 2009;Ribchester, Edwards 1999 aj.]. Tyto faktory lze považovat za intenzivní, dlouhodobé a společné pro všechny vyspělé země.…”

Abstract:The article deals with selected issues relating to the provision and accessibility of primary education in rural, non-exposed areas. These issues are examined from the viewpoint that various conditions force even public education to be guided by certain principles of the free market (e.g. competing for clients), although its actions in this respect are simultaneously rather constrained. The article sets out to analyse the primary education market in a model region Turnov (situated in Czechia) in relation to the type of catchment area. It discusses the pitfalls of public school marketisation, and it analyses the spatial distribution of schools in the model region and the schools' jurisdictions based on the different types of catchment areas, which are defi ned and created in the form of cartographic visualisation. The article also examines four municipalities with small rural school as case studies selected on the basis of representing different types of catchment area. The authors discuss the fi ndings of in-depth interviews that were conducted with headmasters, school operators, and some parents in the four municipalities in order to identify the strategies that schools can use to strengthen their position in the primary education market. The authors fi nd that not only do schools' marketing strategies vary little depending on their geographical location but the majority of schools in the case study have not formulated a unique and systematic vision and mission for their school. The principal features of all the schools studied are their self-identifi cation in opposition to the culture of urban schools.

“…Tanto es así que en algunas localidades pequeñas se llegan a cerrar las escuelas en favor de los agrupamientos y el transporte escolar. Estudios internacionales alertan de esta problemática (Amiguinho, 2005;Hargreaves, Kvalsund & Galton, 2009;Provasnik et al, 2007;Santamaría, 2006); más concretamente en España, se ha comprobado como la desaparición de las pequeñas escuelas rurales ha perjudicado la propia existencia de la localidad. Es frecuente que se realicen llamamientos en los medios de comunicación incentivando la incorporación de familias con hijos para evitar la clausura de la escuela local por los perjuicios socioeconómicos y culturales que esto acarrea (Bustos, 2007).…”

Resumen: El desarrollo de la autonomía en el sistema educativo portugués ha experimentado diversas oscilaciones desde su promulgación en 1976. En la actualidad, en el contexto de la crisis económica, se observa una mayor regulación del currículum y su recentralización; sin embargo bajo el paraguas gerencialista han resurgido los contratos de autonomía con unas eminentes posibilidades de descentralización. En este artículo desgranamos hasta dónde es capaz de llegar una comunidad educativa cuando puede decidir con flexibilidad sobre su organización y gestión. El contrato de autonomía se erige como el canalizador de una serie de cambios que ha reformado completamente al centro educativo. Este es el estudio de caso del Agrupamiento de Escuelas de Algoz-Silves. Palabras clave: política educativa; autonomía educativa; administración escolar; estudio de caso; investigación educativa.
