We summarize it in these 7 points:\n\n<!--more Seguir leyendo-->\n\n<strong>Survey<\/strong>: As a percentage of low-achieving students, Spain is in relative terms within OECD&#8217;s average in math (24% vs. 23% OECD), reading (18% vs. 18% OECD) and science (18% vs. 18% OECD).\n\n<strong>Evolution<\/strong>: Regarding the data of the previous report of 2003, Spain has continued to increase the percentage of low achievers in mathematics (1% increase) and the percentage has fallen in reading (3% decrease) and science (4%).\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Spain has continued to increase the percentage of low achievers in mathematics (1%), but the percentage has declined in reading (3%) and science (4%) compared to the 2003 study.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<strong>Preschool<\/strong>: Students who attended preschool tend do better in math. The overall percentage of low achievers in mathematics with no preschool education stands at 40%, while that number drops to 30% for students with 1 year of preschool, and to 20% for those with more than \u00a0more 1 year of preschool.\n\n<strong>Truancy<\/strong>: This is a problem that affects Spain disproportionately. 43% of low achievers in mathematics missed at least one day of school, compared with OECD&#8217;s average of 23%. Spain has one of the highest percentages of all countries.\n<blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Regarding truancy, Spain has one of the highest percentages of all countries analyzed in the report<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n<strong>Homework<\/strong>: Spanish low achievers in mathematics spend more hours doing homework than the rest of the OECD countries (4.7 hours \/ week vs. 3.5 OECD).\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">According to the study there is no one single risk factor that determines this student under-achivement,\u00a0but a cluster of them<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\nIn Spain&#8217;s case, the likelihood of low scores in mathematics is higher in students with bigger socioeconomic disadvantages, who missed\u00a0early childhood education, have failed a year, or have enrolled in\u00a0Initial Vocational Training programs.\n\n<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.oecd.org\/education\/helping-the-weakest-students-essential-for-society-and-the-economy-says-oecd.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">For more information access OECD&#8217;s website.<\/a><\/span>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A new OECD report focused on analyzing how socioeconomic factors affect student achievement was recently published. \u00bfWhat does it say about Spain?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":49864,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[345],"tags":[],"tipologia":[],"class_list":["post-51188","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-responsible-technology"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blinklearning-blog.wildoomlab.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/51188","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blinklearning-blog.wildoomlab.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blinklearning-blog.wildoomlab.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blinklearning-blog.wildoomlab.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blinklearning-blog.wildoomlab.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=51188"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/blinklearning-blog.wildoomlab.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/51188\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":51189,"href":"https:\/\/blinklearning-blog.wildoomlab.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/51188\/revisions\/51189"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blinklearning-blog.wildoomlab.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/49864"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blinklearning-blog.wildoomlab.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=51188"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blinklearning-blog.wildoomlab.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=51188"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blinklearning-blog.wildoomlab.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=51188"},{"taxonomy":"tipologia","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blinklearning-blog.wildoomlab.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tipologia?post=51188"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
