Impact of the Madrid CLIL bilingual program on student achievement in primary and secondary education
This article evaluates the Madrid bilingual program, implemented in half of the primary and secondary schools using the CLIL method, where several subjects are taught in English. We compare academic outcomes between bilingual and non-bilingual students using Propensity Score Matching to address the nonrandom distribution of students. The data comes from a competence evaluation conducted in Madrid in 2019 for all students in the final year of prim…
Ideology and Education in China
This study examines the ideological foundations of foreign language education in the People’s Republic of China, arguing that language planning is inseparable from the state’s ideological strategies and international engagement. Drawing from a historical perspective that traces the evolution of Chinese education from the late imperial period to the present, it demonstrates how educational policy has consistently subordinated intercultural exchang…
Institutional Ageism Perception in Health Contexts Scale (Iaphe)
Alongside the aging population, ageism toward older adults has been observed in various contexts, including the care of older adults. This study focuses on institutional ageism, in health contexts and aims to assert the psychometric capabilities of the IAPHe scale with professionals who work directly with older adults. Two hundred and forty professionals who work with older adults (223 women), from 21 to 65 years old (M = 37.97 years old; SD = 11…
The Role of Affect Regulation in Linking Mindfulness in Teaching and Teachers’ Job Satisfaction
The teaching profession and its associated conditions are demanding, exposing teachers to significant stress that adversely impacts mental health and job satisfaction. Moreover, research indicates that mindfulness in teaching correlates with positive classroom emotions and work engagement, suggesting a potential link to job satisfaction. However, the mechanisms underlying this relationship remain underexplored. Recognizing the critical role of af…
Factorial analysis and invariance of the Portuguese version of the Ucla Loneliness Scale – Version 3
The objectives of this study are to analyze the psychometric properties of the data collected with the European Portuguese version of the UCLA Loneliness Scale version 3 (UCLA-LS-3) and to evaluate levels of loneliness and perceived social isolation in Portuguese adults. 802 individuals aged 18 to 82 years (M= 35.12; SD= 15.67) responded to the scale, and reliability and validity analyses were conducted. The total score of the UCLA-LS-3 exhibited…
Circadian dynamics of explicit memory performance in youth
Cognitive performance oscillates throughout the day depending on an individual's chronotype, with synchrony effects being reported in memory performance. To examine these effects in an ecologically-valid setting, 74 children (M = 8.39years, SD = .54; 34 morning-types, 40 evening-types) and 79 adolescents (M = 13.05years, SD = .39; 41 morning-types, 38 evening-types) were selected based on chronotype. Participants underwent neuropsychological asse…
The European Portuguese version of the Fear of Missing Out scale (FoMOs-P) in higher education students
This study adapted and validated the European Portuguese version of the Fear of Missing Out scale (FoMOs-P) and determined an “optimal” cutoff score for higher education students with high social media engagement. Five hundred Portuguese students ( M = 22.37, SD = 5.68) completed FoMOs-P and measures of sleep quality, rumination, and social media. Following previous conflicting results, Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) was conducted to compare …
New evidence on the impact of learning in a foreign language on educational outcomes
A Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) method, in which some subjects are taught in a foreign language (English), was initiated in Spain in 2005 and has progressively extended to half of public schools. The results have been very positive; however, it has been argued that studying subjects in a foreign language may reduce the educational outcomes of students. This paper evaluates this criticism in the Madrid bilingual program adopting …
Bilingual school choice and socio-economic segregation
In the academic year of 2004–2005, the Spanish region of Madrid began to implement a bilingual educational programme (MBP hereinafter) in state schools. One of the objectives of this programme was to make the study of a foreign language (English) accessible to students from economically disadvantaged families who cannot afford private foreign language classes. Our study aims to evaluate whether students from a disadvantaged socio-economic backgro…
Initial validation of the Portuguese version of the EVE discrimination questionnaire (EVE-D)
One of the challenges related to aging is ageism, age-based prejudice, stereotyping and discrimination against a particular age group, most commonly expressed against older adults. There is a general agreement that ageism is present in healthcare settings. This study intends to evaluate to what extent institutional ageism is perceived in the Portuguese healthcare system while developing an initial validation of the Portuguese version of the EVE d…
Avaliação da simulação ou esforço insuficiente com o Rey 15-Item Memory Test (15-IMT)
A crescente evidência da possibilidade de desempenhos enganosos ou fraudulentos em contexto de exame neuropsicológico forense, incluindo casos envolvendo adultos idosos (por exemplo, determinação de incapacidade ou pedidos de reforma antecipada), torna imperativa a inclusão de medidas específicas de simulação e esforço insuficiente nos protocolos de avaliação. O Rey 15-Item Memory Test (15-IMT) é um dos testes mais utilizados neste âmbito. Contud…
