EDUCATIONAL DECENTRALIZATION. AN ANALYSIS FROM THE EXPERIENCE IN
THE UNIVERSITY EDUCATION OF GALICIA.
This work carries on to study three different topics about the decentralization
process:
— the general frame concerning on the pedagogical foundations in decentralization
— the comparative perspective about the indicators for the European
Systems of Education addressing to the decentralization process
— the experience, background and decission making in Galician University
System about the coordination and decentralization in Higher Educational
Systems.
Decentralization process, as a matter of fact, is operating in political,
social and educational areas. Decentralization, as a decission making,
means a new chance for the autonomy and the choice of a new way to organize
the educational systems. Decentralization is an alternative process to
centralization, but in no way we must identify decentralization with quality
and centralization with miseducation or unworthwhile activities.
Educational Decentralization tries to organize the educational systems
facing antinomic questions:
— isolation/cooperation
— regionalization/internationalization
— homogeneity/heterogeneity
— autoidentification/diversity
Key words: Democratization, University system, Decentralization,
Educational system development, Educational policy, Participation.

this paper analyses collaboration as an objetive and strategie for implementing
a climate and culture that foster the educational innovation in Primary
Education Centres. The authors employ the instruments due to the
participant observation to analyse the collaborative reconceptualization

PARENTS’ PARTICIPATION IN THE SCHOOL MANAGEMENT. A
CRITICAL VIEW
The article briefly summarizes the legislative development of
the parent’s constitutional right to share the school control, management
and administration. Next, it analizes the outcomes of «participation»
in practice, that are so disruptive that the author calls School Board
as a «catastrop-hic error». The central point of this paper
is to clarify the meaning of «participation» from the seman-tic,
conceptual and operative point of view, and to point out that the common
sense ought to lay down unfitting use of such a term. At last, it appoints
the non-existent impact of the «participation» on teaching-learning
effectiviness, and the need that Educational Authorities clearly design
the scope fields of School Boards, so that they can avoid the collision
with the rest of the individual or collective directive boards, as it presently
happens.
Key words: Participation. School Administration/Management.
Educational Communiy. School Board.

TOWARDS AN EDUCATION FOR MATURITY.
Nowadays, to educate as a means of achieving maturity has become the
true goal of education and, I would willingly assert, it is the only
way out of the crisis human beings are plunged into. It is a reliable option
that will once again lead a man/woman towards finding himself/herself and
learn to compromise with the realities which he/she is involved in, as
well as to learn to accept the risks of life every one of us must experience
in order to become the persons we should each be.
Key words: Maturity, Aims of Education, Moral Education.

TEST OF VALUES: AN INSTRUMENT FOR EVALUATION
The interest that values currently arouse finds an answer in the present
Spanish education system. If education has to transmit values to the person
it is necessary to know their starting point and to know to what level
they reach the proposed objectives. To make an initial evaluation and compare
it on successive occasions with previous situations would be a useful indicator
as much as to establish the objectives of education with respect to values
as to evaluate the progress of the pupils in the acquisition of the proposed
values. It is necessary, then, to have the means to discover the values
which a person thinks are important. In the present study we offer the
professionals in education an instrument with which to evaluate the values
produced in agreement with a model of integral education.
Key words:Values. Integral education. Evaluation. Test.

THE INFLUENCE OF CARTOONS PASSED ON T. V. IN SOCIO-COGNITIVE TRAINING
IN PRIMARY EDUCATION
We analize the influence of cartoons passed on T.V. in the sociocognitive
learning development in Primary Education, as a potencially educational
factor.
The phenomenon of cognitive schemas building up, general children’s
development, the social integration process in chilhood at early stages,
and TV- learning interaction, are also studied.
Finally, TV and mainly cartoons programmnes are questioned as important
learning elements; their possible cognitive and affective effects are also
studied.
Key words: Cognitive effects, TV, Cartoons, Social integration
process, Children.
