Graduate labor mismatch in Central and Eastern Europe

[cat] Utilitzant l’enquesta REFLEX/HEGESCO, aquest article explora la probabilitat de desajustament entre educació i treball a l’Europa de l’Est i Central. Classifiquem els països en dos grups segons la transparència dels títols educatius al mercat de treball. Polònia, la República Txeca i Eslovènia formen el grup amb més transparència, i Hongria, Lituània i Estònia formen el grup amb més opacitat. Analitzem tres tipus de desajustaments: el vertical (infra‐, sobre‐educació), l’horitzontal (desajustament del camp d’estudi) i el desajust en habilitats. Focalitzem l’anàlisi en l’efecte dels camps d’estudi i les competències dels individus en el desajustament del mercat laboral en aquests països. Els resultats mostren importants diferències entre els dos grups de països estudiats.

State of Iowa 1998 Inmate Profile, 1999

This report was compiled at the request of the Department of Corrections. The first section describes Iowa’s prison inmate population at mid-year.

Investigar en organització educativa: algunes aportacions dels Estats Units

El progrés en el món científic es realitza fonamentalment per mitja d'una rigorosa investigació que va analitzant els diferents tópics i validant les hipótesis que es plantegen en el seu treball. Tots els camps de les Ciéncies de l'Educació tenen comunitats científiques que les estudien i publiquen els resultats de les investigacions. Però no tots els ambits frueixen de la mateixa dedicació.

Accions didàctiques en el marc dels museus. Una investigació entre el museu i l'escola

Dins del vast camp de la didàctica en l'àmbit dels museus, la recerca que presentem centra la mirada en les accions, mitjans i recursos que la institució museística posa a l'abast del públic escolar per afavorir-ne l'aprenentatge de contiguts històrics i arqueològics. Es tracta d'un estudi realitzat entre dos camps disciplinars: la didàctica i la museologia. L'article posa l'èmfasi en les característiques dels materials didàctics dels museus d'història i d'arqueologia i, en concret, de la funció dels continguts procedimentals en la definició d'aquests materials. Per mitjà d'una anàlisi del nivell de complexitat estructural dels verbs emprats en aquestes definicions, es conclou que hi predominen els de nivell més elemental, en detriment dels procediments propis de les disciplines de referència.

Égalitaires ou discriminatoires: considérations sur l'exercice de la liberté religieuse en contexte carcéral

Si historiquement la religion a toujours été intimement liée aux établissements pénitentiaires, elle était jusqu'à récemment synonyme de christianisme. Aujourd'hui, en contexte à la fois sécularisé et pluralisé du point de vue de la religion, l'aumônerie traditionnelle chrétienne se trouve face à de nouveaux enjeux. D'une part, elle est confrontée à la spécialisation des domaines d'activité au sein des prisons et d'autre part, elle doit composer avec des détenus de confession allogène et contribuer, par son action, au respect de l'exercice de leurs droits religieux. Ainsi, on assiste, dans le cadre de l'aumônerie à un double processus. D'un côté, on remarque une universalisation du travail de l'aumônier chrétien qui se doit d'assister l'ensemble des femmes et des hommes incaréré-e-s, quelle que soit leur confession ou religion. D'un autre côté, on constate l'émergence de corps d'intervenants religieux caractérisés par une spécialisation communautaire religieuse ou ethnique, à l'exemple des intervenants musulmans de prison. L'objectif de la présente contribution sera ainsi de décrire les processus à l'oeuvre exprimant tantôt une universalisation ou une particularisation des intervenants religieux et de réfléchir au développement d'une aumônerie d'un type nouveau, pluri-religieuse professionnalisée et professionnalisante. If religion has always historically had close ties to penitentiaries, it was until recently synonymous with Christianity. Nowadays, the religious context in prison has evolved towards secularization and pluralization, meaning that the traditional Christian chaplaincy faces new challenges. On the one hand, it is confronted with the specialization of fields of activity in prison and on the other hand, it must adapt to a growing number of prisoners from various religious origins and contribute to the respect of their religious rights. Thus, we witness the development of a duel process in prison chaplaincy. Firstly, the universalization of the role of the Christian chaplain who must assist all incarcerated men and women, regardless of their religion or confession. Secondly, the emergence of non Christian visiting minister with a linguistic, ethnic or religious specialization, like for instance Muslim representative intervening the Muslim prisoners. The aim of this contribution is to describe this duel process and discuss the legal and sociological implications.

Iowa Department of Corrections, Strategic Plan 2014-2018, January 2014

Iowa’s adult correctional system carries out its legal mandate of protecting the public and promoting offender rehabilitation through a continuum of institution and community evidence based services and interventions. This continuum is designed with recognition that for most offenders, reentry planning starts upon admission to the corrections system. The effective and efficient management of offenders in accordance with their risk and criminogenic needs (those needs that contribute to criminality) is accomplished through targeted programming, release preparation, and transition services. Success in these endeavors assists offenders to become productive members of the community and makes it less likely that they will re-offend, resulting in lowered recidivism rates. In 1990 the Department’s prison recidivism rate was 44.7% and today it is 30.3%. Our overall desired outcome is to reduce the prison recidivism rate to 25% during the next five years by focusing resources toward our highest risk offenders.
