EUROPE, SPAIN: CRISIS, INDUSTRY, EDUCATION AND SOLIDARITY
This paper deals with subjects that are of essential concern to European
and Spanish industries, and in doing so, it does not overlook social solidarity.
In these stormy, crisis ridden times, recipes that applied to our more
peaceful times are no longer of any practical use. This all calls for a
change in the relationship between the individual and the organization.
A new moral contract emerges, where the employee will not necessarily find
that his loyal dedication is always rewarded by his being given a full
time job for life. It will rather lead to conditions that allow continuous
employability on an individual basis. The new concept of the social Europe
takes solidarity as a down-to-earth condition for overcoming the crisis,
instead of regarding it as support for conditions which may not be sympathethic
towards today´s new realities. There is a need for competitiveness
to be restored in European industry, but that competitiveness must be made
to be compatible with the social and economic cohesion that characterises
the European growth model.
Key words: Industry, education, solidarity.

PEDAGOGICAL DIAGNOSIS OF GIFTED STUDENTS
The present study analyses different theroretical conceptualizations
of gifted students and their projection on the pedagogical diagnosis, focusing
on the specific problems of diagnosis and on the two more widely used instruments:
psychometric tests and experts judgement. The second part of this article
offers the results of a research on gifted preschool and primary students.
These outcomes reveal not only the superiority of this group of students
in intelligence, but also in their short and long term achievement, self-concept
scores and in the teachers´appreciation. Conclusions will also be
offered on the low ceiling effect of the McArthy Scales (MSCA) when it
identifies preschool children with high abilities, the relative effectiveness
of the set of instruments used, and the suitability of using them as complementary.
Key words: Gifted Students, Ceiling Effect, Pedagogical Diagnosis
of Giftedness, Effectiveness, Complementarity of Instruments.

EDUCATION AND TRADITION
The author conceives human person as a being of traditions which education
must transmit and maintain: otherwise man would be a rootless being. An
unexpected change produces, concerning social and cultural life, insecurity
and risk. Nowadays culture is rich and mixed and young's education in values
requires cultural heritage and, concerning educators, the courage of educating
rightly, promoting civic virtues and love towards family.
Key words: Education, Tradition, Present Time, Civic Virtues,
Courage of Educating, Family.

EVALUATION OF THE ATTITUDES OF UNIVERSITY STUDENTS TOWARDS THE UNIVERSITY,
THE STUDENTS AND THE TEACHERS
The aim of the present article is to present, analyze and reflect upon
empirical data on the evaluation of the attitudes of students of the University
of Salamanca concerning three fundamental concepts: University, students
and teachers, using Osgood's semantic Differential technique. Once diverse
techniques were applied for obtaining and specifying the different adjectives
to evaluate the three concepts mentioned above, we selected the ten dualities
that best discriminate according to a previous sample. The results indicate
that, according to the mean, the University is the strongest, most consistent,
most important and best known, as well as the least critical. The students
are evaluated as being the nicest, most open and most flexible as well
as the least strong, consistent and serious. The teachers are considered
to be the most serious, and, at the same time, the least nice, important,
open, flexible and known.
Key words: Evaluation, Attitudes, Semantic Differential, University
Students, Teachers, Factors.

THE LIMITS OF THE SPREADING OF EDUCATION
The model of educational social change worked out in this paper consists
of three stages and follows the characteristic guidelines of any process
of spreading. This change is driven by the interest in obtaining higher
income and prestige in exchange to a higher rate of schooling. At present,
and according to such a model, Spain is between the second and third stages
and will reach the third as soon as the arrithmetic means of income and
prestige of the different educational levels are the same.
Key words:Modernity, Social Change, Education, Income, Prestige.

THE LOGIC OF DECISSIONS IN BUILDING EDUCATIONAL SYSTEMS: A CASE
STUDY
This study deals with the logic of the decissions in the genesis and
the development of educational policies, having a significant referential
axis in our context: the beginning and progressive articulation of the
Galician University System. We analyze the technical, ethical, and political
decissions, as well as the pertinent decissional scopes. In coherence with
our prerequisites of thinking, we pay special attention to the planning
and drawing of the studied case. We conclude affirming that it is in the
planning context where the decissional logic acquire all its relevance
and it is manifested in all its problematic lenght; being also there where
most of the professional knowledge about the referred matter are showed
to the pedagogue, or educator in a professional sense.
Key words: Educational policy, Political decisions, Galician
University System.
