The paper analyses two concepts of art history textbooks for secondary schools. It discusses their role in the learning and teaching process of art history and related school subjects within the formal educational programmes in Slovenia and their didactic structure. The comparison between one Slovenian and two Polish textbooks might contribute to better understanding of the present situation regarding art history textbook production in Slovenia, which is a result of several factors: the historical continuity of textbook writing and research in textbook didactics, the current school policy and fi nancial competition on the textbook market. Its intention is also to clarify the idea of didactic transformation of the art history contents from the challenging scientifi c texts to a form suitable for secondary school students who are textbooks’ main target audience.

In recent years, skills development has become a priority among developed and developing countries alike. The World Bank Group, in its quest to end extreme poverty and promote shared prosperity, has joined efforts with countries and multilateral development partners to ensure that individuals have access to quality education and training opportunities and that employers can find the skills they need to operate. The skills towards employability and productivity (STEP) skills measurement program is part of the World Bank’s portfolio of analytical products on skills. The STEP program consists of two survey instruments that collect information on the supply and demand for skills in urban areas: a household survey and an employer survey. STEP has been implemented in waves, the first surveys being implemented in seven countries in 2012 (Bolivia, Colombia, Ghana, Lao Peoples Democratic Republic (PDR), Ukraine, Vietnam, and the Yunnan Province in China), and the second in five countries in 2013 (Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Kenya, and Macedonia, Former Yugoslav Republic of (FYR)). The data presented in this publication correspond to these countries. It illustrates the similarities and differences among groups that have completed different education levels on a wide range of issues and outcomes. Section one analyzes the trajectory of skills acquisition: participation in early childhood education programs, educational attainment by gender, and participation in training and apprenticeship programs. Section two explores background conditions associated with educational attainment, including the socioeconomic status of survey respondents at age 15, the educational attainment of their parents, their households’ asset levels, their health (as expressed by the presence of chronic illness), and their overall satisfaction with life. Section three covers cognitive skills: writing, numeracy, and reading (which is also evaluated through a direct reading assessment). Section four covers job-relevant skills, which are task-specific and which respondents possess or use on the job; and section five covers socio-emotional skills, using established metrics to measure personality and behavior. Section six covers the status of survey respondents in the labor market: whether they are employed, unemployed, or inactive.

Fil: Bañay, Arón Milkar. Universidad Nacional de Misiones. Facultad de Humanidades y Ciencias Sociales; Argentina. En el presente artículo proponemos una aproximación al desafío que representa construir una Educación Intercultural Bilingüe en una aldea Mbya Guaraní, Jakutinga (Yacutinga), Municipio de Gobernador Roca, Misiones. Partimos de una introducción a la cuestión educativa para centrarnos luego en la Escuela Provincial N° 659 “Padre Antonio Sepp” donde conviven niños de la aldea Mbya y “criollos” o de la sociedad nacional conformando una escuela de matrícula “mixta”. Muchas de las dimensiones aquí problematizadas se encuentran aún en elaboración, las consideramos introductorias a lo que posteriormente abordaremos en una Tesina de Grado que tratará sobre las relaciones entre los niños indígenas y no indígenas, sus docentes y Auxiliares Docentes Indígenas, el pasaje de la comunidad a la escuela y la implementación de la modalidad E.I.B centrando nuestra mirada en el Nivel Inicial. In the present article we propose an approximation to the challenge of build an Intercultural Bilingual Education in an Mbya-Guaraní Community, Jakutinga (Yacutinga), Gobernador Roca township, province of Misiones. Starting from an introduction to the educational matter and afterwards we focus in the provincial school N° 659 “Padre Antonio Sepp” where Mbya children and “criollos” or national society children coexist making a “mixed” school. Many of the matter conside red are still on analysis; we consider them as an introduction of a Dissertation that will be about the relationship between indigenous and non-indigenous children, their teachers and Auxiliary Indigenous Teacher, the pass from the community to the school and the implementation of Intercultural Bilingual Education concentrating our point of view on the Kindergarten.
