Understanding parental views of adolescent sexuality and sex education in Ecuador: a qualitative study     

Elena Jerves  Silvia López  Cecilia Castro  William Ortiz  María Palacios  Peter Rober 《Sex education》2014,14(1):14-27

Parents' contribution to sex education is increasingly receiving research attention. This growing interest stems from recognition of the influence that parental attitudes may have both on young people's sexual attitudes and behaviour, and on school-based sex education. Studies regarding parental attitudes towards sexuality are, however, still rare. The two main objectives of this study were to explore parental views about sexuality and to understand parental attitudes towards sex education. Four focus group discussions were conducted with parents from high schools in Cuenca, Ecuador. Data were analysed using thematic analysis. The study revealed that parents held a restricted view about sex education, grounded in traditional religious ideas about sexuality, which led parents to understand it as a morally and physically dangerous activity. Although parents expressed a willingness to make good quality sex education available to their children, they reported having insufficient personal resources to fulfil that objective. The results of this study provide important information about the need to develop and adapt sex education to each specific cultural context, thereby confirming the importance of knowing about the cultural traditions and religious beliefs that may form obstacles to effective sex education for young people in Ecuador.  相似文献   

Early development among dual language learners: The roles of language use at home,maternal immigration,country of origin,and socio-demographic variables     

Adam Winsler  Margaret R. Burchinal  Hsiao-Chuan Tien  Ellen Peisner-Feinberg  Linda Espinosa  Dina C. Castro  Doré R. LaForett  Yoon Kyong Kim  Jessica De Feyter 《Early childhood research quarterly》2014

Using nationally representative data from the ECLS-B, we examined children's outcomes and growth from 9 to 65 months as a function of language used in the home at 24 months (English only n = 7300; English and another language n = 1500; other language only n = 400). We also examined whether demographic variables moderated the effects of DLL status in predicting child outcomes. Results revealed substantial variation within the DLL population within and across language groups in immigration status, heritage country, child outcomes, and family socioeconomic risk. DLL status was associated with differential outcomes, gains over time, and processes in complex ways. Maternal birth outside of the U.S., child gender, and parental education moderated relations between home language and child outcomes. Use of the heritage language at home served as a protective factor for children of immigrant families for a few outcomes. Gender and parental education were more strongly associated with child outcomes among English-speaking households than among DLLs.  相似文献   

The development and early care and education of dual language learners: Examining the state of knowledge     

Dina C. Castro 《Early childhood research quarterly》2014

Early care and education (ECE) programs, policymakers and practitioners across the United States are facing the reality of the increase in the population of dual language learners (DLLs). To address these children's unique and varied characteristics and experiences, ECE programs find that they must adjust and adapt their efforts. However, there is limited evidence for early childhood strategies to support DLLs and limited understanding of DLLs’ development. There are increased accountability requirements for ECE programs to meet the needs of all children, including DLLs. This special section “The Development and Early Care and Education of Dual Language Learners: Examining the State of Knowledge” includes six articles reporting on the research activities of the Center for Early Care and Education Research – Dual Language Learners (CECER-DLL). The Center was federally funded to advance the research field to improve assessment, child care, and education for DLLs from birth through five years of age. This introduction and commentary discusses the most relevant findings from the set of critical reviews of literature and the secondary analysis of the Early Childhood Longitudinal Survey-Birth Cohort conducted by the Center. Also, the major methodological challenges and research gaps found in the literature reviewed, across topic areas, are presented and recommendations for future directions to advance research on the development and early care and education of DLLs are provided.  相似文献   

Intellectual development beyond formal operations     

Eduardo A. Castro†  Francisco M. Fernández† 《International Journal of Science Education》2013,35(4):441-447

Post‐formal operations as a stage of cognitive development beyond Piaget's formal operations state are discussed. It is argued that thinking abilities are of major importance for an adequate understanding of quantum‐mechanical and relativistic issues as they occur in modern science, especially physics. Some pedagogical consequences of the ‘fifth stage’ of cognitive development are discussed and proposals made about how post‐operational thinking abilities might be developed in students.  相似文献

Los aspectos socioculturales del área de lengua extranjera y el programa linguapax     

Carmen Guillén  Ana Isabel Alario  Paloma Castro 《Cultura y Educación》2013,25(16):83-91

La enseñanza de lenguas extranjeras está experimentando un «enriquecimiento curricular» muy positivo. De considerarse como un simple instrumento vehicular de conocimientos o comunicación, las lenguas extranjeras están pasando a conectarse con el gran problema social y cultural de conocer otros pueblos, de conocer el mundo. El objetivo-medio de la globalización (con ciencias sociales principalmente pero no sólo) se convierte así en uno de los puntos fuertes de la enseñanza de otras lenguas.  相似文献

Critical arts‐based research in education: Performing undocumented historias     

Carl Bagley  Ricardo Castro‐Salazar 《British Educational Research Journal》2012,38(2):239-260

The article seeks to elucidate and academically position the genre of critical arts‐based research in education. The article fuses Critical Race Theory (CRT), life history and performance, alongside work with undocumented American students of Mexican origin, to show how a politicised qualitative paradigmatic re envisioning can occur in which counter‐histories and counter‐stories can be co‐created into a powerful, evocative, and transformative arts‐based performance text: Undocumented Historias. The article reflects on how critical arts‐based research in education can function as a means to legitimise, empower and promote the voices of the educationally and socially marginalised; evoking an experiential and sensual means of feeling and knowing by which researcher and researched may co‐recover, interrogate and enrich an anti‐colonialist critique of the dominant social order.  相似文献
