Can we learn the rural multigrade school? Has it a transferable model?
Main Article Content
Abstract
The rural school has some specific educational characteristics based on its own heterogeneity and diversity, which requires a psycho-educational approach as well some teaching strategies particularly adapted to its compound. On this basis we present a research project that has been conducted by different international universities over the last three years. Having used quantitative and qualitative methodology, this research describes the practical works of teachers in “multigrade” schools from five different countries of Latin America and Europe with the aim of analyzing the pedagogical ingredients that can be transferred to another type of school in order to improve our knowledge not only on “multigrade” schools, but also on the diversity factor, a fundamental key that needs to be taken into account if we want to succeed in creating an education of high standards for all of us.
