The main purpose of this Research Topic is to analyze and identify the main family and contextual variables that are involved in the process of carrying out homework. This will require studying the role played by teachers, students, and families in order to ensure that schoolwork is a useful learning tool. Although the role of the student is, obviously, crucial in homework, research has focused on the cumulative time spent by the student carrying out homework. However, the time spent on homework is not in itself evidence of the student’s involvement nor is time spent indicative of quality time. Indeed, an excess of time can sometimes denote low competence in a field of knowledge, while spe...

¿Qué fines debe perseguir una educación para la ciudadanía en las democracias actuales? ¿Qué y de qué manera pueden aportar las emergentes propuestas de educación del carácter, las tradiciones culturales de cada sociedad o las distintas religiones a la formación humana en un contexto plural como el que se presume en democracia? ¿Qué podemos aprender mediante una mirada retrospectiva sobre una legislación educativa, como la ley del 70, a camino entre la dictadura y la democracia? ¿Acaso puede ser la tecnología algo más que una amenaza para la convivencia democrática y el ejercicio de la ciudadanía, y percibirse como una verdadera oportunidad pedagógica? ¿Qué estamos hacie...
A educação sempre foi um fator determinante na vida dos homens e das sociedades, mas hoje ganhou enorme relevância sendo um dos grandes temas da atualidade pela sua importância tanto no presente como para o futuro. Para a educação confluem hoje inúmeros contributos científicos, tanto das ciências sociais e humanas como das ciências empíricas, sem que o fundo social, cultural, espiritual e moral que a educação é deixe de correr incessantemente como um rio profundo que, todavia, os ventos e as turbulências da superfície agitam e perturbam. A problemática que atravessa hoje a educação, bem como a informação científica e a investigação empírica que a podem esclarecer, n...
