From Past Aspirations to Present Achievements: A Case Study of Three K-8 Schools Successfully Educating Roma Students

Abstract: This case study focuses on education in three K-8 schools in Medjimurje County, Croatia. The object of inquiry is the development of successful educational practices for Roma students. Until recently, only a limited number of Roma students completed basic K-4 schooling.

We examine some of the processes that took place in creating the change, along with the principals', … Show more

“…Many studies have been published in the teacher inquiry field during the last decade, but few were evidence-based research that focused on raising student achievement. Although some reported improved student achievement, findings were often descriptive, and data were not collected or presented to support claims (Curcic, Lapat, Susec, & Ignac, 2018). Other teacher-inquiry studies reported benefits for student learning (Simpson, 2017) or teacher practice (Charteris & Thomas, 2017), but not achievement shifts.…”

“…La continuidad educativa de la población gitana, cómo lograr su éxito escolar y disminuir su fracaso o abandono, sigue siendo objeto de investigaciones recientes a nivel nacional e internacional (Alexiadou, 2019;Curcic et al, 2018;Díez-Palomar et al, 2018;Dimitrova, Ferrer-Wreder, et al, 2018;Dimitrova, Johnson, et al, 2018;Goenechea & Gallego, 2020;Helakorpi et al, 2019;Lorenzo Moledo et al, 2020;Rostas & Kostka, 2014). Sin embargo, la educación del pueblo gitano sigue siendo un asunto poco investigado, la mayor parte de los estudios se han centrado en la exclusión y no han predominado los estudios que den voz al pueblo gitano y contribuyan a incrementar su éxito educativo para contribuir a mejorar su situación en nuestro país (Abajo & Carrasco, 2004;Goenechea & Gallego, 2020;Lorenzo Moledo et al, 2020).…”

“…Tanto en el panorama nacional como internacional se han tomado medidas para garantizar la inclusión y la educación de las personas gitanas en igualdad, y se observan algunos progresos, pero aún se debe trabajar profusamente por la escolarización y el éxito educativo de la infancia gitana (Abajo & Carrasco, 2004;Alexiadou, 2019). Con demasiada frecuencia se ha normalizado el bajo rendimiento escolar de la población gitana y el abandono temprano (Curcic et al, 2018;Díez-Palomar et al, 2018), y no siempre se ha contemplado la existencia de profundas diferencias entre territorios, no existiendo una homogeneidad educativa entre la comunidad gitana (Abajo & Carrasco, 2004;Rostas & Kostka, 2014). Queda mucho por L IJRS -International Journal of Roma Studies, 3(1) 25 hacer para lograr el éxito del alumnado gitano y esta investigación pretende contribuir a ello.…”
