Teacher Strikes and Private Education in Argentina - #paper - - 0 views

  •  
    "This article analyzes teacher strikes in Argentina during 2006-2012. It stands out how teacher strikes prevail over claims from other unions, and are shown to be relevant events for education policy just for some provinces and only for public schools. We found that none of the policy measures implemented over the last decade has proven to be effective in reducing conflict. Analyzing a dataset on labour unrest, this study builds an index of teacher labour conflict to better understand the evolution of teacher strikes over time and under the various provincial governments that integrate the Argentinian federal education system. The article shows no correlation between teacher labour unrest and the growth of private enrolment. However, we note that despite the lack of statistical correlation, teacher strikes should not be ruled out as an explanatory variable of the increase in private education in Argentina."

Educated Hope in Dark Times: The Challenge of the Educator-Artist as a Public Intellectual - 0 views

  •  
    "... Reclaiming pedagogy as a form of educated and militant hope begins with the crucial recognition that education is not solely about job training and the production of ethically challenged entrepreneurial subjects and that artistic production does not only have to serve market interests, but are also about matters of civic engagement and literacy, critical thinking, and the capacity for democratic agency, action, and change. It is also inextricably connected to the related issues of power, inclusion, and social responsibility.[2] If young people, artists, and other cultural workers are to develop a deep respect for others, a keen sense of the common good, as well as an informed notion of community engagement, pedagogy must be viewed as a cultural, political, and moral force that provides the knowledge, values, and social relations to make such democratic practices possible. In this instance, pedagogy needs to be rigorous, self-reflective, and committed not to the dead zone of instrumental rationality but to the practice of freedom and liberation for the most vulnerable and oppressed, to a critical sensibility capable of advancing the parameters of knowledge, addressing crucial social issues, and connecting private troubles into public issues. Any viable notion of critical pedagogy must overcome the image of education as purely instrumental, as dead zones of the imagination, and sites of oppressive discipline and imposed conformity. ..."

  • Why Resistance?
  • Many of us might believe that social media is a place where students impulsively reveal their private lives for the world to see. It’s not true
  • Recent survey done by Facebook reveals that the new youth is deliberate about what they post. Any impression they leave on their social network is deliberate.
  • If educators don’t pay respect to the new ways of expression of youth, they will remain defensive and less likely engaging with their teachers on social media.
  • Indeed there are some real risks attached with children using social media and it can’t be taken lightly. But there are also dangers in crossing a road. Do we tell our kids not to cross the road? No, we don’t! We hold their hand and tell them how to do it.
  • Educators must show teens a level of respect as they create their space online to express themselves as individual
  • Privacy
  • According to a 2013 Pew Research Center study, teens are taking steps to protect their privacy.
  • Students are cognizant of their online reputations, and take steps to curate the content and appearance of their social media presence.
  • Critical Thinking
  • Power of Reasoning
  • The future of education is in helping children experience curiosity, wonder, and joy through playful learning.
  • A New Generation of Communicators
  • The students of today are big communicators through emails, social media and instant messaging
  • They are more connected to the outside world than how much we were at their age
  • Social Media has bridged the gap between students and the highest quality study material they need for learning
  • Shifting Role of Educators
  • A modern school needs to be a lot more than brick and mortar of studies

¿Y si se obligara a los funcionarios públicos a usar los servicios públicos? ... - 0 views

    "Todos tenemos clara la importancia de dar ejemplo. Como docentes, por ejemplo, las decisiones que tomemos, nuestra forma de actuar, el vocabulario que empleemos con los alumnos e, incluso, todo lo que rodea a nuestra persona, hace que lo anterior impregne parte del aprendizaje de nuestros alumnos. Sí, los alumnos toman ejemplo de lo que ven. Nosotros sólo somos una pequeña parte de la gran cantidad de inputs que reciben pero, seguramente, esa pequeña parte va a formar parte de un "todo" que configurará la personalidad y las maneras de hacer de los alumnos en un futuro. Si todo el mundo tira papeles en el suelo, la gente va a seguir tirando papeles. Si hay una parte importante de la población que defiende el machismo, la sociedad va a seguir siendo machista. Si hay una visión mayoritaria que el pagar en negro (o en B) es una práctica extendida, la práctica va a asimilarse como algo normal. Y al final, la única forma que va a tener la sociedad para luchar contra lo anterior va a ser la "obligación" impuesta o la "penalización" de esas conductas asumidas como normales que, por desgracia no lo son. Penalización que, por desgracia, parece que tenga más afección sobre unos que sobre otros. Y, al final, esa variabilidad de la misma hace que tampoco llegue a ser totalmente efectiva. ¿A qué viene lo anterior? Pues viene de la noticia que un tribunal de la India ha sentenciado "obligar a los funcionarios públicos de su país a asistir a escuelas públicas" bajo la justificación de que "en la actualidad, el Estado dispone de un sistema educativo tridimensional compuesto por escuelas anglófonas, escuelas privadas y escuelas públicas. La educación pública solo puede mejorar si se obliga a los funcionarios del Gobierno a enviar a sus hijos a estos centros escolares" (fuente). Así pues se obliga a los funcionarios públicos de ese país a usar servicios públicos con la justificación de la ejemplarización de dicha decisión. Ello me
