There is scholarly consensus that the involvement of fathers in preschool education optimizes child-adolescent development. However, in practice, fathers' participation is low compared to that of mothers. This article presents the results of a qualitative study aimed to exploring the perceptions of fathers with children who attend private educational centers in Chile about the conditions that encourage or discourage them from participating in their children's activities at school. Semi structured interviews were held with fathers of children who attend 8 preschools. The article reveals positive attitudes toward participation which are hindered by cultural, structural, and institutional factors. Conditions of possibility become privatized and come to depend on the ability to reach agreements among parental figures. This study contributes to the scientific understanding of the conditions affecting the participation of fathers in early education. The implications of these findings for parental involvement policies and the work of educational institutions are discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Private schools governed by religious orders and congregations are, undoubtedly, one of the major axes around which primary education has been centered in Spain during the 20th century. In this case, with the objective of drawing a picture of how school culture was structured in these institutions during the Spanish post-civil war period, we focus on analyzing dissertations on student teaching experiences that were written by students studying to get their teaching degrees. They are, without a doubt, excellent testimonials from which to learn about the praxis of the everyday classroom, or at least, about what was considered proper and worthy of reflection. To do this, we look at those dissertations that describe the teaching practices carried out in private religious schools in Majorca between 1939 and 1945, the Spanish post-civil war period.

This article hypothesizes on the reasons of the change of time that justify the model of leadership that school headmasters must exercise, with the aim of collaborating and adapting, to guide their institutions to pedagogical and organizational innovation that answer families and societial expectations on the process of education for children and teenagers. Reviewing the literature on the subject, five large management nuclei were structured, defined as challenges, to contribute with a perspective that integrates, in the first place, aspects of the individual in the role of the headmaster, and throughout the document pose the multiple fronts of educational management to which the direction must give proper and efficient answer. It concludes on the urgency of introducing to the role of the headmaster a management perspective that includes, from self understanding, the ability to understand the changes and the technical competence to implement competitive management model.
