Paper Session
Contribution
The aim of this research work is to ascertain the reasons behind the high dropout and failure rates in Spain, from the diverse perspectives of the agents which are part of the school (teachers / advisers and tutors, retired teachers, counselors, dropouts and experienced professionals with dropouts). Basically, the goal is to explain not only the possible liability of the school itself, but also the didactic-pedagogical action of the teacher in this field. Therefore, taking into account the experience in the area, there might be improvements.
Throughout this paper it will be provided first, an introduction to the phenomena of failure and early school dropout and a study of the most important factors influencing them with the intention of determining the main causes of these phenomena. Secondly, the relationship between the quality of education and school failure will be introduced. Thirdly, there will be an analysis of how the school and its agents may possibly generate school failure or success. Hence, we can be more accurate when proposing preventive measures (Didactic and Pedagogical approaches). Clearly, such reasoning is based on international and national data (Spain).
Consequently there are five underline goals in this paper:
- Introducing the opinions of teachers (with long education experience) about the possible influence of school and education over the failure of the students.
- Several Didactic-Pedagogical actions (which can be considered as effective by the school and in the classroom itself to avoid school failure) will be derived from teacher’s daily life experiences.
- Presenting the view of retired teachers about the studied cases. At least, as much as they can demonstrate from their unique professional perspective.
- From real school failure cases experienced by professionals: a) Understanding their considerations about the factors having an impact on the school failure and the possible influence of teaching and school itself; b) Offering suggestions to guide the actions of schools and teachers in the future to avoid, where possible, these failure situations.
- Learning from the experience of students who lived situations of failure / dropout and are immersed in training activities offered by the educational system connected with the employment.
