- Abstract
This report presents the responses of three experts from Canada, Mexico, and the United States to 18 questions concerning issues in business-higher education alliances in the context of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). They address such issues as the need for alliances; the characteristics of successful (and unsuccessful) alliances; the progress in each country toward establishing alliances; the function of government agencies, professional associations, and community organizations in the formation of alliances; the role of technology in furthering alliances; the advantages of alliances; and the prospects for alliances in the future. The questions are grouped into three sections. In the first, responses to the seven questions about smart alliances produce several definitions of alliances, note various types of alliances, and define the characteristics of "smart" alliances. Responses to the five questions in the second section address what is needed for higher education institutions and business to develop successful alliances, and cover issues such as relationship management and the necessary people skills for alliance building. The six questions of the third section address the required framework for these partnerships to prosper, such as mechanisms for measuring the impact of alliances and prospects for binational and trinational collaboration in the context of NAFTA and the global economy. Appendices present reprints of two brief related articles. (DB)

- Abstract
In 1981, at the end of a long period of economoic growth in the Mexican economy, the national education system had grown considerably to where one out of three citizens was enrolled in school. Student enrollment for 1981-82 was 22.7 million, almost double enrollment for 1970. Close to 90 percent of those students were in primary and secondary education. During the period 1970-81, secondary school enrollment grew at an annual rate of 10.6 percent. Secondary education was available to 86.6 percent of children graduating from primary school. However, schools still experienced high rates of failure and desertion. Advances were also made in higher education, in fighting adult illiteracy, and in helping those who had not finished primary or secondary education. However, from 1982 to 1988, Mexico experienced increased social and economic polarization due to a financial crisis. Consequently, educational advances lost momentum. In some areas of postprimary education, program coverage declined. There was a lack of educational models to meet new demands, and economic hardship on the poorest sectors of society increased. Adult illiteracy also increased, and educational disparities between states continued. Authorities' efforts to counteract the effects of the economic crisis on education were inadequate and lacked national and international support. (Contains 39 references.) (JPT)

- Abstract
This volume contains papers submitted to the 10th Annual Conference of the Bulgarian Comparative Education Society, held in Kyustendil, Bulgaria, 12-15 June 2012. The overall goal of the 10th BCES conference is to facilitate discussion of different perspectives on international education providing a forum for scientific debate and constructive interaction in a multi cultural social environment such as Bulgaria. This is a jubilee conference. Ten might not mean too much for large scholarly societies in other countries, especially in the Western world. However, for a small society like BCES, ten means a lot. It means trust, international recognition, constant interest, well-developed academic cooperation, and the most important--it means an established conference tradition. The following papers are included in this volume: (1) Foreword: Remembering the Past--Anticipating the Future: Reflections on the BCES's Jubilee Conference (Karen L.

111. HRD in Latin America. Symposium 5. [AHRD Conference, 2001].
- Abstract
This document contains three papers on human resource development (HRD) in Latin America. "Looking at the Literature on Workplace Democracy in Latin America: Factors in Favor and Against It" (Max U. Montesino) discusses selected issues related to workplace democracy in Latin America and identifies salient issues for further research, including the following: the magnitude of work democracy experiments in the region; the scope of workplace democracy; the process of learning self-direction in the context of Latin America's managerial culture; and the implications of the lack of evolution of Latin American managerial culture. "Toward a New HRD Organizational Model" (Jules K. Beck) argues that increased economic growth in Asian and European markets will one day place the Americas at a competitive disadvantage unless an new international model emerges that can better harness labor to strengthen the hemispheric economic engine. "Differences in Priority for Competencies Trained between U.S. and Mexican Trainers" (Larry M. Dooley; Kenneth E. Paprock, In-Sun Shim, Elsa Gonzalez Y Gonzalez) examines the differences in competencies for training programs between Mexican and U.S. companies and discusses the implications of these differences for implementation of the North American Free Trade Agreement. All three papers include substantial bibliographies. (MN)

- Abstract
This paper discusses the design modifications of a sequence of specified learning goals for teaching early number, which characterise an instructional resource developed in a design research collaboration with teachers in Mexican preschools. Highlighted are the types of research involvement that appear to be necessary in designing resources for teaching meaningful mathematics at scale. We argue that, and illustrate how, such involvements need to venture beyond addressing the problems of learning, into the territory of problems of teaching.

- Abstract
In this paper, we present the development of an investigation on the promotion of covariational reasoning in high school students (14-15 years old) in Mexico. The study consists of designing and applying a sequence of didactic activities that simulate a real situation virtually. The activities are organized through a Hypothetical Learning Trajectory supported by digital technology and elements of Cuevas-Pluvinage didactics. The activities were evaluated according to the levels of covariation proposed by Carlson and colleagues, categorizing students' achievements and difficulties for each level of understanding. The results show that the activities favor students' progress by moving from the context situation to the different representations, establishing the relationship between the variables, and identifying their functional dependence.

Caro, Diana García, García, Carlos Valenzuela, Sanz, María T., and González, María S. García
- Abstract
This paper describes the conceptions about complex numbers that a group of university students has, these were built from the application of an activity sequence centered on these numbers. This sequence is based on the APOS theory, some aspects of semiotic representation theory, and the use of digital technology. Particularly, both the general results of a pretest and a posttest are shown and compared. Additionally, the example of a student is analyzed to show evidence of how the mental structures and mechanisms that define the students' conceptions are built through the implementation of the sequence. The results show how the activity sequence allowed students to coordinate algebraic and geometric processes on complex numbers to improve their conceptions.

- Abstract
Emotions come into play as teachers make decisions, act, and reflect on the different purposes, methods, and meanings of math teaching. In order to learn more about the emotions of mathematics teachers, this paper shows the emotions experienced by 81 Mexican teachers who teach mathematics in middle school and high school. Emotions are contextualized by the theory of the cognitive structure of emotions, narrative and drawings were used to express their emotions. According to the results, three frequent and common emotions were identified in the teachers, happy-for, satisfaction, and disappointment. Fear was the only frequent emotion in high school teachers; it occurred at the beginning of their teaching, due to the lack of pedagogical content knowledge.

- Abstract
Mexico is a country where seismic events occur in a daily basis. Since 1990, the national seismological service has reported various earthquakes, in some cases they usually imperceptible, it doesn't ensure that the population cannot be injured, there for, it is important to keep the entire population informed and prepared in the event of an earthquake. This project will present a proposal for a serious videogame with the intention of bringing the young public, between nine and twelve years old, closer to earthquake prevention in a playful way through a narrative based on children studies and official civil protection guidelines. This videogame is developed with de Godot game engine platform, using as the main source of information the research project developed by the students of the master's degree in Information Design and Communication about strategies focused on children to promote informed behavior for safety in the case of seismic related situations (Gros, 2009). The videogame poses scenarios of elementary school, where a series of challenges are presented to the gamer as simulating real situations with the intention that the player learn how to avoid getting hurt and manage to reach to meeting point safely. This paper shows the related work in the domain of games focused to promote the information about safety during earthquakes, the design and the advances in the development the proposal.

Medina, Miguel and Silvestre, Eleazar
- Abstract
The topics of correlation and linear regression constitute a complex and subtle system of statistical and mathematical ideas whose teaching-learning raises numerous practical and theoretical problems. In this research paper, the patterns of reasoning that students exhibit, under the approach of informal inferences when they face problems of correlation and regression line are identified. To achieve this, activities were implemented in two stages: in the first stage, two problems (one of estimation and other of best-fit line) were applied to be solved using pencil and paper; the second stage incorporates the use of the Fathom software.

- Abstract
This paper presents the findings of a descriptive multiple case study carried out with six teachers of English in five public secondary schools in a city in northwestern Mexico aimed to determine how writing was taught. A mixed methods approach was followed with an embedded design in which qualitative data had increased weight and quantitative data was supportive. Qualitative data were collected through an interview guide approach, non-participant observation, and qualitative document analysis, while quantitative supporting data were collected using structured observation and quantitative document analysis. In the qualitative analysis, four themes emerged: (1) writing activities, (2) resources, (3) assessment, and (4) frequency of work on writing. Results suggest that writing activities in which students are required to write one word, a phrase or a sentence predominate. Also, findings show that paper-based resources for writing tasks are frequently used. Qualitative results suggest that written exams, word dictation and class projects were assessment practices assigned by teachers; besides, findings suggest that the writing activities are form-driven rather than meaning-driven. The relevance of this research is that findings might provide the basis for designing quantitative studies in this context that allow for generalizations.

- Abstract
This work addresses the importance of innovation in entrepreneurial and business education to ensure that students develop the ability to make complex decisions and solve complex challenges. The intention was to incorporate the complexity theory in decision-making and problem-solving in business and entrepreneurship. To achieve this, we present the results of the first phase of our project, aiming to scale the levels of complex thinking in university students, discuss the need for business and entrepreneurship students to develop complex thinking competency (including its sub-competencies of critical, systemic, scientific, and innovative thinking) in the complexity of the business environment, analyze the relevance of system elements, apply their inductive and deductive reasoning, and create appropriate and relevant solutions. Our findings suggest that an educational model focused on developing complex thinking and its four sub-competencies can enable entrepreneurs to integrate sustainable development, increase their social engagement and critical thinking, develop their imaginative intelligence and discursive and reflective skills, and thus improve their decision-making and problem-solving processes. In the future, we plan to extend this analysis to the behavior of real-life entrepreneurs. [For the full proceedings, see ED654100.]

Eliseo Torres and Mario Del Angel-Guevara
- Abstract
For more than 20 years, traditional medicine of Mexico, the U.S. Southwest and other countries has been taught as a series of academic course at the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque in the United States. These courses focus on traditional uses of healing plants and rituals for students in higher education and the community. These courses discuss the incorporation of diverse Hispanic and Indigenous ancestral methods of healing based on experiential learning through a series of traditional medicine classes offered at the University of New Mexico. This pedagogy is a unique approach to the reclaiming of ancestral perspectives into the university curriculum that have an enduring impact in the students enrolled in these courses. This article provides a definition of "curanderismo" and mentions three major historical figures that have impacted traditional medicine in Mexico and the United States. The article also discusses the impact that these classes have on the diverse students at a Hispanic-Serving, Level I Research American university. Finally, we discuss the development of these courses in the university system and how a program has been created that also allows community members and staff in diverse health professions to enroll in the summer face-to-face institute through the Center for Continuing Education.

121. The Sustainability in the New Scenarios of Transformation in the Rural Areas of Mexico

Guillermo Salas-Razo
- Abstract
To address the challenges of sustainability in rural areas of Mexico, it must be considered that globalization opened the way to a new conception of rural development and consequently to a change of strategies aimed at achieving higher levels of productivity, often unrelated to social welfare. This widened poverty in the countryside and forced the displacement of millions of rural dwellers. Globalization was an imposition with consequences that exceeded the socioeconomic, cultural, and political capacities of the countryside. We must not lose sight of the close interrelationship of inequality and precariousness with environmental degradation caused by unsustainable development models such as globalization. This scenario leads to the search for solutions to ensure sustainability, so rural communities must design sustainable development strategies that prioritize their autonomy, self-sufficiency, productive diversification, and ecosystem management. Multifunctionality is a key tool for conservation and economic diversification, but it must be properly regulated to avoid restrictions on agricultural production and cultural values. Payment for environmental services is an option, but it must be accompanied by social development policies to ensure sustainable development in rural areas. [For the full proceedings, see ED652228.]

122. Zapatista Micropolitics and Antifascist Education

Kevin Klein-Cardeña
- Abstract
A critique of both homogenizing and vertical power runs through the Zapatista social project in Chiapas, Mexico, lending a distinctive character to both Zapatismo's political vision of self-governance and to the educational vision of its community schools. Zapatismo's critical practices may thus offer valuable contributions to antifascist praxis and pedagogy. This paper considers anti/fascism through a micropolitical lens, focusing on two prevailing tendencies: binarization of power relations and homogenization of identities. It then suggests that Zapatista practices undermine microfascist tendencies in social-political life through subversion of command relationships, plural identification, critique of representation and safeguarding of alterity. The paper concludes by tracing the manner in which a critique of state schooling within Chiapas's indigenous communities has led to the development of Zapatista autonomous schools, examining ways in which these schools refuse totalization and prefigure community autonomy.

- Abstract
School site leadership has commanded the attention of researchers and policymakers in Anglo-American jurisdictions for at least two decades, but little is known about how many other parts of the globe have addressed this topic. This paper reviews published research and policy documents related to school leadership in Latin America between 2000-2016. Applying rapid mapping techniques used for scoping studies, we review 359 research and policy documents and give "coherent, meaningful shape" to what we know and what we don't know about school leadership in the region. Attention in research and policy to school leadership in Latin America was relatively slow to arrive: whilst it grew steadily in the first decade of this century it remains low compared to other regions of the world. We provide an overview of the school leadership policy environment in several countries, describing recruitment, selection, evaluation, and job responsibilities of principals; relevant leadership frameworks; and requirements for training or professional development. We speculate on what might explain the diverse ways that school leadership has been taken up in the region: degree of school system centralization; policy borrowing; stage of development; technocratic problem solving; and neoliberal accountability.

- Abstract
The report discusses the activities of the Instituto para la Promocion de la Culture Civica (ICC), a non-partisan, not-for-profit Mexican nongovernmental organization (NGO) that has as its mission: to promote the advancement of a civic culture understood as a system of values, ideas, traits of character, dispositions, inclinations, attitudes, habits, knowledge, and skills that make people think of themselves as members of a political and social community; to exercise and practice its citizens' status and develop their potential to get involved in an active, informed, committed, productive, responsible, and selected way in actions and processes aimed at promoting individual, group, or collective interests; and to build the common good inside the diverse communities to which they belong. The report states that, to achieve those goals, the ICC designs, promotes, implements, and evaluates formal and informal civic education processes; the promotion of democracy is the fundamental principle and foremost motivation of the ICC. The report also discusses the ICC's goals and objectives and its activities, and lists 10 recent publications, as well as 8 recent appearances by organization members on mass media outlets. (BT)

Leslie Quiroz-Schulz
- Abstract
This paper discusses the type of professional learning that international academic mobility makes possible during a PhD program. The conceptual approach used Pierre Bourdieu's field theory, which allows analyzing PhD students as 'newcomer' members who bet on mobility under the idea of "illusio." The methodology used was qualitative. The information was obtained through semi-structured interviews with twenty-four new researchers who studied in four prestigious PhD programs in education and history in Mexico. The findings demonstrate that mobility fosters relationships with peers abroad, makes it easier to learn to do research, favors the reconversion of capital within the scientific field, and offers practical knowledge related to the need to publish results in order to achieve international recognition.

- Abstract
Deaf-blindness is a type of dual disability wherein visual and auditory capabilities are significantly impaired. Special communication methods have been developed for the deaf-blind community. Yet, these methods require that both people involved have prior knowledge and training to successfully communicate, limiting deaf-blind people's social interactions, particularly in academic settings. This paper describes the development of a device that enables two-way communication between a severely deaf-blind user and a hearing person with no prior knowledge of Braille and no additional intermediaries. A Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) scheme for speech recognition was designed and implemented along with the development of an algorithm capable of developing both text-to-speech and Finger-Braille-to-text conversion. Lastly, a system integration via 3D modeling and additive manufacturing was carried out to deliver a functional prototype. The resulting device aims to allow deaf-blind students to send and receive information entirely in finger Braille, using buttons and vibrotactile feedback. In contrast, the hearing tutor receives auditory messages and speaks to reply, making the educational experience as familiar as possible for both parties. Users testing the device achieved an average typing accuracy of over 95% and demonstrated an understanding of commands transmitted through the device's components.

Engineers make things, make things work, and make things work better and easier. This kind of knowledge is crucial for innovation, and much of the explicit knowledge developed by engineers is embodied in scientific publications. In this paper, we analyze the evolution of publications and citations in engineering in a middle-income country such as Mexico. Using a database of all Mexican publications in Web of Science from 2004 to 2017, we explore the characteristics of publications that tend to have the greatest impact; this is the highest number of citations. Among the variables studied are the type of collaboration (no collaboration, domestic, bilateral, or multilateral), the number of coauthors and countries, controlling for a coauthor from the USA, and the affiliation institution of the Mexican author(s). Our results emphasize the overall importance of joint international efforts and suggest that publications with the highest number of citations are those with multinational collaboration (coauthors from three or more countries) and when one of the coauthors is from the USA. Another interesting result is that single-authored papers have had a higher impact than those written through domestic collaboration. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
In this paper we analyze the link between people's "subjective" expectations of returns to schooling and their decision to invest into schooling. We use data from a household survey on Mexican junior and senior high school graduates that elicits their own and their parents' beliefs about future earnings for different scenarios of highest schooling degree. These data allow us to derive measures of expected idiosyncratic returns to schooling as well as measures of individual risk perceptions of earnings and unemployment risk. Therefore we can analyze for two important school attendance decisions, high school and college, whether parents' or youths' expectations matter and whether expected returns or risk perceptions are important for these two decisions. We find that both youths' and parents' expectations matter in terms of the high school attendance decision, while for the college attendance decision the youths' expectations appear to be the relevant ones. These results suggest that youths play an important role in the intra-family decision process about human capital investments. While often neglected in the literature, risk perceptions are important predictors for high school attendance decisions. College attendance decisions on the other hand depend on expected returns to college. Making use of our data on subjective expectations, we provide evidence on the existence of credit constraints based on the argument that credit constraints would break the link between expected returns (or risk perceptions) and schooling decisions. Our results point towards an important role of credit constraints in college attendance decisions and thus provide one explanation for the large inequalities that can be found in particular in higher education in Mexico.

Zhen, Fubiao and Tong, Fuhui
- Abstract
This study examined the effectiveness of a literacy-infused science (LIS) intervention on science learning of ELs from rural schools in the U.S.-Mexico border area. The intervention consists of teacher-level virtual professional development (VPD) and virtual mentoring and coaching (VMC), as well as a student-level LIS curriculum. Results from repeated measures ANOVA revealed that participating ELs improved their science learning outcomes after one year of learning, and ELs who received the LIS intervention significantly outperformed their peers who received regular science instructions without too much emphasis on literacy. Implications for science instructions for ELs and supporting rural school districts are discussed.

- Abstract
We present evidence on whether and how a household's behavior is influenced by the presence and characteristics of its extended family. Using household panel data from the Progresa program in rural Mexico, we exploit information on the paternal and maternal surnames of heads and spouses in conjunction with the Spanish naming convention to identify the inter and intra generational family links of each household to others in the same village. We then exploit the randomized research design of the Progresa evaluation data to identify whether the treatment effects of Progresa transfers on secondary school enrolment vary according to the presence and characteristics of extended family. We find that Progresa only raises secondary enrolment among households that are embedded in a family network. Eligible but isolated households do not respond. The mechanism through which the extended family influences household schooling choices is the redistribution of resources within the family network from eligibles that receive de facto unconditional cash transfers from Progresa, towards eligibles on the margin of enrolling their children into secondary school.

This article analyzes the social production of space in Atenquique, an industrial town in the southern region of Jalisco in western Mexico. The theoretical framework draws on insights from critical geography. Through the case of Atenquique we reflect on the transformation of the area from the beginning of the neoliberal period in Mexico. Neoliberalism ushered in the growth of precarious and insecure working conditions, something which has deepened over the past several decades. The methodology employed is based on ethnographic research undertaken over a period of four months in Atenquique. During this time period we used three different audiovisual methods to collect information: photography, oral history and the production of an ethnographic documentary film. The results of the study show how the ex-inhabitants of Atenquique have knit together complex constructions- both material and symbolic- that provide insight on how the changes of the past several decades have affected the area. In the conclusions, we return to the broader debates on the local and territorial consequences of the implementation of the neoliberal policies in Mexico.

135. Didatic-Mathematical Knowledge and Competence of Prospective Secondary School Mathematics Teachers on Linear Variation = Conocimientos y competencias didáctico-matemáticos de futuros profesores de matemáticas de secundaria sobre variación lineal
- Author

Herrera-García, Karina Jaquelin and Dávila-Araiza, María Teresa
- Abstract
In this paper we describe an educational proposal for prospective secondary school mathematics teachers in Mexico, whose aim was to contribute to the development of their didactic-mathematical knowledge about linear variation through mathematical tasks, the development of the competence of identifying primary mathematical objects and the reflection on hypothetical cases of teaching. The proposal is supported within both the Onto-semiotic Approach (EOS) and the Mathematics Teacher's Didactic-Mathematical Knowledge and Competence model. The proposal follows a design research methodology based on EOS. The results show the complexity related to the development of the competence of identifying primary mathematical objects, they also highlight the influence that competence has on the development of the epistemic and cognitive facets of prospective teachers' didactic-mathematical knowledge on linear variation.

Sánchez, Jamil Fabiola Alvarado and Munguía, José Luis Soto
- Abstract
In this paper a didactic proposal is presented which consists of a methodology aimed at secondary level mathematics teachers, the aim of this proposal is to provide the teacher with a tool to design teaching sequences in order to take them to the classroom; These designs have the particularity of incorporating digital technology for the development of the sequence and its implementation. The methodology was developed based on the articulation of: the didactic structure of Díaz-Barriga, the teaching method ACODESA of Hitt and the curricular developments of Taba. The methodology has been tested with a group of 11 teachers in a course-workshop of 40 hours, the results obtained were three didactic sequences elaborated by three teams of teachers in a technological context (using Geogebra), where it is perceived that it is possible to design using this methodological proposal, however, teachers presented some difficulties during the process of articulation with technology.

Hitt, Fernando
- Abstract
We present the results of a research project on arithmetic-algebraic thinking that was carried out jointly by a team in Mexico and another in Quebec. The project deals with the concepts of variable and covariation between variables in the sixth grade at the elementary level and the first, second, and third years of secondary school--namely, children from 11 to 14 years old. We target secondary students (first year or K7) in this article. Our objective relates to the development of a gradual generalization in arithmetic-algebraic thinking in a socio-cultural approach to the learning of mathematics. We experimented with investigative situations using a paper-and-pencil approach and technology. We analyze the emergence, in this context, of a visual abstraction, the production of institutional and non-institutional representations, a sensitivity to contradiction, and, finally, the concepts of variable and of covariation between variables.

Aviña González, María José and Monroy, Angelina Alvarado
- Abstract
This paper presents the design and analysis of a Model-Eliciting Activity (MEA), which aims to support the refinement of the conceptual system associated with directly proportional distribution problems (example: linear function, percentage, proportion, variation, etc.). The situation explores a context that is close to the student, encouraging the construction of a generalizable mathematical model that can be transferred to diverse contexts. For the design, the principles of the Models and Modeling perspective (Lesh and Doerr, 2003) were considered. The target population were students enrolled in the first semesters of a university degree in Accounting. For the analysis, we considered the construction of models (performed in teams); the mathematical representations within the process observed (such as diagrams and tabular organizations); as well as the individual solutions of the students.

- Abstract
In this report, we present an advance of doctoral research. We explore teaching alternatives that promote proportional reasoning in Mexican students between 14 and 15 years old with the support of digital technology. We designed a sequence of activities that pretends to signify the concepts of ratio and proportion in their diverse representations and from the perspective of linear functions. For the design of the tasks, elements of the Realistic Mathematics Education framework and Cuevas-Pluvinage Didactics were used. The learning objectives and proposed activities were organized through a hypothetical learning trajectory. Subject to presenting the group results, we randomly selected a student to present the analysis of the results achieved. We found that the tasks promoted proportional reasoning.

- Abstract
This paper is focused on one of the most common and basic ways of processing corpus information; concordance, and how it can be used in the classroom to offer language learners useful vocabulary that they would face in genuine conversations and help them detect language patterns as this ability helps them with their learning process. In addition, a sample of a corpus-based activity will be presented to show how classroom activities based on corpora can be developed. What is more, this paper has the purpose of encouraging teachers to use this type of activity and to offer them a straightforward guide to follow.

- Abstract
COVID-19 pandemic and post-pandemic had led to the confrontation of higher education system with enormous challenges. That necessitated the urgent transition from face-to-face teaching to online-teaching. The change was an innovation in higher education. A comparative study of digital education based on the survey in 2020-2021 in seven different countries was conducted at Shanghai University. The study was based on grey comprehensive evaluation model. In general, developed countries had high comprehensive evaluation value, while Finland, United States of America, South-Korea and Latvia had relatively low grey correlation coefficient in several certain indicators, leading to a sharp drop in the overall score. Romania ranked last while China ranked second as a developing country as well. The study launched a conclusion that research and development personnel, infrastructure funds and university financial investment in digital education had relatively more obvious effects on improving the innovations and quality of higher education system including the leadership system of universities.

144. The Use of First and Second Languages in Primary Education: Selected Case Studies. World Bank Staff Working Paper No. 504.

World Bank, Washington, DC. and Dutcher, Nadine
- Abstract
This paper discusses the question of whether, in a multilingual society, the child's first or second language is best as a language of instruction in primary school. Reviewing eight case studies from seven countries in which initial primary schooling was given either in the second or first language, the discussion compares achievement in reading and language in both languages and describes achievement in content subjects, especially arithmetic. Case studies from the Philippines, Ireland, and Canada report the use of a second language as the language of instruction, while studies from Mexico, Nigeria, Sweden, and the United States report use of the first language. It is concluded that, depending on the interrelated characteristics of each situation, answers must be found on a case-by-case basis. Such characteristics include the linguistic and cognitive development of the child in his or her first language, the attitudes of parents toward the language chosen for the school, and the status of the languages in the wider community. In terms of these characteristics, situations are described in which the best choice for initial instruction might be either the child's first or second language. These descriptions are followed by a discussion of issues raised in a paper (1980) devoted to education sector policy and by a series of recommendations for World Bank staff. (Author/RH)

- Abstract
Six papers describe use of the radio for in-school and out-of-school formal education in this first volume of working papers on how radio can and is being used for education and development. Part one on in-school education contains: a Nicaraguan project to teach mathematics to first grade children (including curriculum, materials, teacher activities, problems, and envisioned solutions); an evaluation of the radio schools of Tarahumara, Mexico, begun by Jesuit missionaries in 1955, geared toward first-fourth grades; the "Radioprimaria" project headquartered in San Luis Potosi, Mexico, begun in 1970 for fourth-sixth graders in rural areas (format, materials, student participation, and gradual shift from rural to urban use are discussed); a planning study on potential of radio in elementary formal education in Indonesia (covering existing elementary education system and estimates of comparative performances and costs of alternatives). Part two deals with use of radio for distance learning: for inservice training of teachers in Kenya (distinguished by use of correspondence materials supplemented by radio broadcasts to reach a widely scattered adult population) and in Radio Santa Maria's primary and intermediate adult education program in the Dominican Republic (adapted from a model developed in the Canary Islands, Spain).

- Abstract
This paper finds that the ready availability of illegal-immigrant workers from Mexico in major industries in the Southwest region of the United States is having far-reaching and often unanticipated consequences for patterns of investment, employment, and business competition. It reviews the displacement of U.S. workers by illegal immigrants in agriculture, food processing, services, and construction, and analyzes the processes of ethnic recruitment networks and subcontracting that lead ultimately to the exclusion of U.S. English-speaking citizens and legal residents from many work places. The conclusion is that U.S. business acquiscence in illegal immigration has become a selective labor subsidy that has contributed in the last two decades to distorted investment decisions, slower growth, and the proliferation of low-skill, low-productivity jobs in the U.S. labor market.

- Abstract
This paper discusses the education section of a 1974 study group (GEPE) report commissioned by the Mexican government to consider the problems of unemployment, income distribution, and poverty. The author welcomes the report's broad educational proposals, such as the priority given to rural adult education and rural primary education, as well as many of the specific suggestions made in connection with the priority tasks. However, he argues that such policies are not likely to be successful unless they are based on a more serious concern with data requirements, and that more awareness is needed of the differential needs of different groups and the reasons for the past failure of similar proposals. In his discussion, he focuses mainly on institutional problems related to adult education and on the structures and processes which appear to have hampered rural primary education. (Author/JG)
