We have analysed both the family language of immigrant students as well as the knowledge, use and desire to know the two languages of the school: Basque and Spanish. On the other hand, we have measured the incidence of some variables, such as family language, the length of stay in the host country and the school language model. The sample was composed of 977 secondary school students, of which 145 were immigrant students enrolled in the Basque Autonomous Community. The results show the linguistic diversity among these students. The immigrant student’s family language, the linguistic model in which they are enrolled and the length of stay are decisive in the perception of knowledge, use and desire to learn the two languages of the school.","PeriodicalId":153832,"journal":{"name":"Cultura y Educación","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130813731","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study we focus on the benefits perceived by two of the most disadvantaged groups in Spain: Roma women and immigrants with low levels of education.

The study is based on a communicative approach and has been developed through interviews and focus groups. The sample comprises Roma and Moroccan women as well as their children, family members, teachers and volunteers. The data obtained suggest that the inclusion of the women in the educational programmes has helped improve the women’s perception of their academic and linguistic abilities, and has also brought about psychosocial benefits, including increases in self-esteem and autonomy and the strengthening of social networks.","PeriodicalId":153832,"journal":{"name":"Cultura y Educación","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124177674","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The factorial correspondence analysis showed that the variables studied are directly related to the type of error recorded. Sociocultural level may be especially significant: the lower the level, the greater and more stigmatized the reported errors.

The importance of the subjective and emotional dimensions in student performance in the sciences is clear, and families’ socioeconomic levels are somehow related as well.

The study has been carried out within a qualitative-collaborative framework using ethnographic data collection techniques (semi-structured interviews, participant observations and images). The analysis was conducted using a system of categories and codes compiled according to inductive and deductive processes with the MAXQDA qualitative analysis program. Specifically, the Student Consultation Phase carried out in all the schools is analysed in order to ensure that all students participate and are heard, including those who have tended to have greater difficulties or less presence in school. A review is carried out of the consultation strategies used, the means of communication (languages) and the issues that have been the focus of dialogue and improvements: curricular developments, coexistence, the design of spaces and classroom management. We conclude that reflection on curricular matters tends to be scarce, and that adults still have a significant presence in the management of the dialogue process, which needs to be directed more by children and young people.","PeriodicalId":153832,"journal":{"name":"Cultura y Educación","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133781497","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The most noteworthy results include the higher narrative skill and perception of values/countervalues of students in the sixth grade of primary school and those who viewed an episode with a narrative structure.

This study analysed data on attitudes from a total of 175 teachers (29.10% male) working in state schools (50.30%) and semi-private schools in different autonomous communities of the Spanish state. An adapted version of the teacher questionnaire on attitudes towards students with special educational needs arising from disability was used.
