The logo of the journal is a wheel, a symbol that wants to evoke several ideas: creativity and forward motion, the wisdom eye that enters into the knowledge of reality, the sun that radiates knowledge and makes ideas shine more clearly, as well as the globe, the sign of an education that is interested in the society where it belongs. This symbol, together with some other figures, is represented in the famous picture painted by Raphael entitled “the School of Athens”, in recognition of one of the most important moments of Pedagogy.

We elaborated and applied a training programme to prevent and treat the
students absenteeism in the school children in Primary Level in a
middle-sized city in Spain. We succeeded in increasing the presence of
the students with absences in the school and also in improving their
self-esteem. This programme was conducted by the investigators and was
developed by a well-coordinated team: the headship, the teachers, the
pedagogue, the social worker and so on. Bernardo Gargallo López, Pedro Garfella Esteban y Francesc J. Sánchez Peris Key words: Students absenteeism, Training programmes, Self-esteem. |
