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.
The Home page includes a summary of the articles published in the last number of the Journal .

In last years, coeducation has been proposed in Spain as the best and unquestionable educational way. However, looking at what happened in other countries, it seems necessary to analyze the consequences not only in academic achievements, as often were made, but in personal development particularly in affective aspects. If that is not taken into account, it would happen that an ideological choice without enough scientific evidence will prevail. As a result of that, a free and reasoned choice about the different educational approaches in secondary school (single sex or coed) will be prevented. Key Words: coeducation; women; affective education; adolescence, singlesex schools. |
