Methods This study addresses that gap by analyzing the academic and social impact of SEAs at IES San Juan Bosco Lorca, a high school recognized as a Learning Community si…
Forms of synchronous hybrid learning spaces in higher education – A type-building qualitative content analysis
Synchronous hybrid learning spaces are educational environments in higher education, in which students participate synchronously on-campus and online. To foster well-founded design decisions, this paper undertakes a systematisation of forms of synchronous hybrid learning spaces. To this end, interviews with 20 German lecturers from different higher education institutions and disciplines are analysed. Overall, three forms can be identified, which …
Impacts of dialogic scientific gatherings on mothers' participation in conflict prevention and school coexistence
The scientific literature has identified Dialogic Scientific Gatherings (DSG) as an educational action that brings scientific evidence that contributes to the advancement of societal challenges for all people regardless of age, gender, culture or ability. However, the impact of family participation in DSG on the improvement of coexistence in schools has not yet been analyzed. In order to address this gap and within the framework for advancing of …
Building Teachers’ Confidence and Critical Thinking Through Scientific Evidence with Social Impact in Gender Violence Prevention
Scientific literature has provided evidence that teacher education based on scientific evidence is highly beneficial for professional development. However, the impact of receiving training grounded on co-created teaching materials—incorporating the expertise of teachers, trainers, and researchers—remains less explored. In this context, the TeachXevidence (2023–2025) project (ref.101096234) conducted nine teacher education seminars in Spain and Po…
Is social theory losing its relevance? A call for social impact and cocreation from dialogic sociology
Currently, the interest in and use of social theory by policy-makers, organizations, and citizens have decreased worldwide.

This gap is addressed by examining the social impact and effects on the motivation for using dialogic theory, which emphasizes dialog and…
What Are the Statistics That Improve Education
There is much research on national and international statistical sources on analyses and trends of educational inequalities, which allow for a descriptive and analytical overview of a population’s educational status and trends—such as attainment levels, dropout rates, and sociodemographic variables. There is also research that has identified successful interventions across different countries that contribute to overcoming and reversing educationa…
Gender Change in the Canon of Social Theory: Sociology's Greatest Hits in 1998 Versus 2024
The international sociological community is undergoing a significant transformation aimed at overcoming sexism in the selection of references for teaching and research. Excellent scientific literature has been published recently about this change. However, to the best of our knowledge, this is the first publication addressing a new step carried out within the framework of the last European Sociological Association Conference. A comparative analys…
Research agenda to engage citizens in science through social media communicative observations
Social media has expanded the possibilities for citizens around the world to share knowledge and interact about scientific advancements, facilitating to raise public awareness of and interest in science. Amidst this context, scientists in all disciplines are intensifying the use of social media as a data source to capture what citizens express about their achievements, beyond dissemination purposes.

Young People’s Voices and Science for Overcoming Toxic Relationships Represented in Sex Education
The scientific literature has presented evidence of how fiction series impact the socialisation of young people's relationships. However, there is a gap in the evidence on how dialogic interactions overcome the negative impact of the fiction series on the socialisation of toxic relationships. This research analyses dialogic interactions based on scientific evidence related to toxic relationships that contribute to overcoming this type of relation…
Zero Tolerance of Children's Sexual Abuse from Interreligious Dialogue
Child sexual abuse is a social problem that concerns our societies. The sustainable development goals have highlighted the eradication of child sexual abuse as one of the highest-priority goals of this century.

Dialogic Reconstruction of Memory: A Methodological Contribution Aimed at Social Impact on Youth's Sexual-Affective Relationships
Methodologies of research aimed at achieving social impact, such as the Communicative Methodology (CM), have overcome the instrumental uses of language. Alongside these, research on memory has shown how this is not a static construct but one that is continuously evolving through social interaction. Research on youths' sexual-affective relationships achieving social impact currently combines these two frameworks. However, from a methodological per…

Zero Violence Since Early Childhood: The Dialogic Recreation of Knowledge
Whether it is necessary to intervene in front of violent behaviors since early childhood or not has turned out to be a highly controversial debate. While non-scientific-based discourses are well spread among families and professionals, leading to a process of naturalization and tolerance of any type of violence, research shows that permissive attitudes can lead to a socialization in which violence and gender violence are normalized, with serious …
Cultural Intelligence to Overcome Educational Exclusion
The critical communicative methodology (CCM) is based on the premise that each person, regardless of their educational, cultural, or socioeconomic background, possesses cultural intelligence. That is, they can analyze their experiences of being excluded and propose ways to reverse their situation. In this article, we explore the fact that everyone, regardless of background, can help to develop scientific knowledge, and this is essential in transf…
Opening schools to all (women): Efforts to overcome gender violence in Spain
This article shows how the dialogic approach adopted by some schools in Spain generates a shift in approaches to gender violence, an issue still not explored in the literature. The shift is from an approach determined mainly by female experts to a dialogic one in which all women, including teachers, mothers, students, sisters, stepsisters, friends, and volunteers, are involved in designing and implementing programmes to prevent gender violence. A…
