Quality education is understood as one of the most powerful and proven drivers for ensuring sustainable development, which can be applied in various educational contexts, formal and non-formal, and which can generate multiple benefits for the general public. Given its relevance, this article presents a bibliometric approach of the scientific production generated around Sustainable Development Goal (SPG) 4 that seeks to “Ensure inclusive and quality education for all and promote lifelong learning” as a priority objective of 2030 Agenda. To develop this research, a literature search was conducted in the Web of Science and Scopus databases. The final sample was 240 publications. The data were analyzed around ten variables: year of publication, type of document, area of indexation, periodical publications, most productive authors, institutions, countries, languages, most cited articles, and key words. The findings of this study indicate that quality education, within the Sustainable Development Goals, is gaining relevance, with 2019 being the year with the highest scientific production. This is a growing theme that is transmitted mainly through articles and papers in English, and there are no institutions, research groups or authors with a broad scientific background and production. The conclusion is that this bibliometric approach is important and necessary to know the reality of scientific production on this subject and to be able to make proposals and lines of research for its development.
In a secularised and postmodernist social context, young people are increasingly distanced from religious beliefs. Nevertheless, in schools with a religious character, the main contents of the faith continue to be transmitted through the ideology and the pedagogical model. The objective of this study is to analyse the influence of the type of school on the perception of religious values. The “Adaptive Values Test” instrument was used on a sample of 456 students from secular and religious schools (Salesian) in the province of Seville during the 2018–2019 academic year. The consideration of religious values in Salesian students is also specifically analysed. The results obtained show that young people studying in schools with religious pedagogical models have a more positive view of faith than the students from secular schools. However, the rejection of the ecclesial institution occurs in students from secular schools and, to a lesser extent, in students from religious schools, becoming a common factor of distancing from religion. Young people studying in religious Salesian schools reflect significant gender differences in the perception of religious values. In these students, the exploratory factor analysis reflects three main factors, the key aspects of faith being valued more than the ecclesiastical hierarchy.
In increasingly diverse cultural contexts, the intercultural perspective favors an enriching coexistence between cultures, with volunteering being an exercise that allows for a critical transformation of reality in order to achieve a more supportive and equitable society. This article aims to find out how university students conceive of volunteering, as well as their level of participation. The sample was made up of 208 students from the Pedagogy and Social Education degrees of the University of Granada during the 2019/2020 academic year. An ad hoc questionnaire was applied, which incorporated a standardised instrument (Adapted Values Test), as well as questions designed by the authors. The results underline the positive axiological perception of volunteering. The participants understand volunteering as a helping role that depends on the social, personal, and professional motivations of the students. However, this positive perception is not transformed into active participation and continuous links with voluntary organisations. The conclusions indicate that university students value volunteering as a necessary task for the social good, although their participation is low, and it is necessary to transform the pro-social awareness of university students into real participation.
RESUMEN Independientemente del debate sobre el uso o abuso de los libros de texto y el de su utilidad como recursos educativos, su repercusión en los centros escolares está directamente relacionada con la cuota de mercado de las editoriales. En España no se publican los datos de la difusión que tiene cada libro de texto, por eso el objetivo de este artículo es analizar cada una de las fuentes de las que podemos extraer alguna información relacionada con este tema. Examinaremos las fuentes provenientes tanto de los organismos y entidades públicas, como del propio sector editorial, en un ámbito en el que se demanda más información y transparencia. Entre las conclusiones, las fuentes analizadas aportan datos globales de las editoriales, pero no de cada editorial, ni la concreción por materias, ni por niveles educativos; el mercado lo dominan las llamadas empresas muy grandes y grandes. Este estudio puede ser muy útil para quienes investiguen sobre cualquier campo relacionado con los libros de texto y tengan en cuenta sus cifras de comercialización.
La jerarquía de valores de cada sujeto determina sus acciones y decisiones. Siendo la adolescencia una etapa clave para la construcción identitaria, las elecciones axiológicas de los jóvenes definirán quiénes son e influirán en la convivencia sociocultural. El presente trabajo se centra en analizar la jerarquía de valores en estudiantes españoles adolescentes, así como verificar si existen diferencias significativas en sus percepciones en función de la variable sexo. Se utiliza un diseño transeccional de tipo descriptivo para analizar la jerarquía axiológica de una muestra de 248 estudiantes de centros educativos salesianos del sur de España durante el curso académico 2018/2019. Se utiliza el instrumento estandarizado para recoger la información axiológica. Los resultados indican una mejor valoración de las categorías de valores afectivos, morales e individuales por parte de los participantes en el estudio, mientras que las peor consideradas han sido las relacionadas con los valores de participación política e intelectuales. Asimismo, se obtienen diferencias significativas respecto a la variable sexo, siendo las mujeres quienes reflejan mayor percepción de agrado al puntuar más alto en todas las categorías. Se concluye que los adolescentes priorizan los valores que mejoren las relaciones afectivas, la convivencia moral y su desarrollo identitario. Además, la diferencia por sexos subraya que las experiencias personales y las características del contexto generan diferentes percepciones respecto a los valores, siendo preciso trabajar la axiología en todos los niveles educativos.
