    Conflicts and Sustainability of Coexistence in Secondary Education: An Ethnographic Study in Spain
    (MDPI Open Access Journals, 2021-10-27) Sánchez Vera, Fulgencio; Martínez Guirao, Javier Eloy; Téllez Infantes, Anastasia; Antón Hurtado, Fina; Ciencia Política, Antropología Social y Hacienda Pública
    In the last two decades, school coexistence in Spain has suffered an important deterioration with consequences in the quality of working life and the health of teachers, as well as in the academic performance of students. Educational administrations have promoted actions to improve it; however, the results have not been positive. To give a more adequate answer we must know in depth the scope of the problem. The objective of this study was to analyze the most common types of conflicts, the degree of incidence of each one and how they are distributed among students, as well as to determine the most important underlying cause according to the teachers. The field work was carried out during the 2018/2019 academic year, in a Secondary School located in the south of the Valencian Community (Spain). The student population was 1040, 532 women and 508 men. The research followed a mixed, qualitative, and quantitative methodology, making use of in-depth interviews with the teaching staff, participant observation and a quantitative analysis of 1501 incidents that were reported throughout the academic year. The results show us differences by sex: 84% of the incidents are produced by male students and 16% by female students. Incident distribution is very uneven among the different courses. Of the center’s problems, 88.14% are concentrated in the first two years of Compulsory Secondary Education. It is remarkable that 51% of the problems are generated by only 3% of the students, mostly men and with a significant academic disinterest; therefore, it is a very small number of students, but with a great impact on coexistence.

    La cultura escolar de la Segunda República española. Legislación, teoría y praxis escolar
    (Universidad de Murcia. Servicio de Publicaciones, 2019) Martín Fraile, Bienvenido; Ramos Ruiz, Isabel; Álvarez Domínguez, Pablo
    El artículo indaga la presencia de la norma y teoría pedagógicas en la praxis escolar de la escuela primaria durante la Segunda República Española (1931-1936) a través del análisis, mediante el método histórico pedagógico, de distintas fuentes documenta les: memorias de prácticas de los alumnos de magisterio, libros de actas de escuelas primaria, circulares legislativas y cuadernos escolares. El resultado contempla la aplicación directa de la norma y la teoría educativa en la praxis, evidenciando la acción conjunta de estos ámbitos en la escuela. Muestra el grado de implicación de gran parte del magisterio en los fines e ideales del gobierno republicano, junto a la utilización de la escuela por éste como plataforma para conseguir dichos fines e ideales.
