Abstract

The article offers the synthesis of a study developed in 2011 in 12 of the 18 Institutos-Escuela (IE) that worked in Catalonia within the framework of the Education Law of Catalonia. The study, funded by the Consell Superior d'Avaluació del Sistema Educatiu and the Institute of Education Sciences of the UAB, addressed the vision of these institutions had the directors of the centers, a sample of teachers, tutors and families, in the organizational, curricular, orientation and relationship with the environment. Coordination dynamics were also studied between early childhood and primary education centers and secondary schools in the same territories in order to verify and contrast other coordination dynamics in the same areas in separate institutions.
The results showed a very positive view on the part of all the groups linked to the IE and also allowed to identify 50 reference practices in the coordination of the two stages in the aforementioned planes, which are also reported in the article.
The article ends with ten conclusions that, in the opinion of the authors, are still perfectly valid today.
