The role of teachers and the learning environment in academic achievement of Costa Rican students: An analysis from PISAA pesar de que la literatura ha señalado que la calidad del profesorado y el ambiente escolar son factores clave en el rendimiento académico, los estudios que cuantifican empíricamente en qué medida contribuyen al desempeño estudiantil en los países latinoamericanos son escasos. En este artículo, utilizamos datos de PISA-Costa Rica y la técnica de descomposición Shapley-Shorrocks para cuantificar qué porcentaje de la variabilidad de los resultados escolares puede ser explicada por el profesorado y el entorno de aprendizaje. Los resultados muestran que la mayor parte de las diferencias en notas se debe al esfuerzo de cada estudiante (parte no explicada por la función de producción educativa). Del resto de factores, las características de la escuela y del profesor explican más variabilidad en rendimiento (36% para el promedio de Matemáticas, Lectura y Ciencias) que el efecto conjunto de las circunstancias individuales y familiares (12,5%). Dentro de los factores de escuela, dos elementos tendrían especial relevancia. Por un lado, el comportamiento de los alumnos, destacando los problemas de absentismo e impuntualidad. Por otro, el nivel de autonomía del profesorado y la dirección de la escuela en el diseño de los planes de estudio y las evaluaciones.

<br />Opening up space for authentic inquiry in preschool can influence the extent to which children can make use of their growing mathematical and linguistic understandings to make sense of themselves and the world around them. Authentic inquiry here refers to investigation that arises naturally from the interests and questions of the children as they experience the learning environment. Three authentic examples are presented from the work of four- to five-year-old children in the domains of mathematics and literacy development to illustrate how the two domains need to be viewed as intertwined at the preschool level. Reflections are also offered on the role of the learning environment, the role of curriculum and the role of teachers and other adults in the learning process. This manuscript is based on a plenary address given in Grahamstown, South Africa at the SARAECE Research and Development week: “Strengthening Foundation Phase Education” conference at Rhodes University in September 2012.
