Does co-residence with grandparents reduce the negative association between sibship size and reading test scores? Evidence from 40 countries.

This paper investigates the effect of coresidence with grandparents in three-generation households on the nature and size of the association between sibship size and reading test scores. It also explores whether this interaction changes with the level of socioeconomic development of a society. We argue that coresidence in traditional three-generation households has a protective effect against resource dilution and thus decreases the magnitude of the negative association between family size and test scores. We also suggest that coresidence in more modern contexts magnifies the degree of this negative association, since modern families form three-generation households only when severely destabilized. We apply 3-level regression models to the PISA 2000 data to examine our hypotheses and use the Human Development Index as a measure of development. We find that the negative association between family size and test scores increases at higher levels of development and does so more strongly when students coreside with grandparents. We, however, find no context, in which coresidence would erase the negative consequences of having many brothers and sisters on one’s own school test scores. These findings hold even when controlling statistically for the effects of public expenditure on education, public social security expenditure, and crude divorce rate as well as for the interactions of these variables with sibship size.This paper investigates the effect of coresidence with grandparents in three-generation households on the nature and size of the association between sibship size and reading test scores.

Clima organizacional y desempeño docente de la Institución Educativa de secundaria República de Colombia, RED 04, UGEL 02, San Martin de Porres-2012

El objetivo principal de este trabajo de Investigación se ha realizado con el propósito de explicar la relación entre el clima organizacional y desempeño docente de la institución educativa de secundaria República de Colombia, RED 04, UGEL 02, San Martin de Porres-2012, al realizar este trabajo identificamos la importancia que tiene para el docente el desempeño en las aulas como en la administración de la educación, siendo un fundamental para el desempeño de la actividad humana. De acuerdo a la metodología, el tipo de estudio es descriptivo correlacional y el método cuantitativo. La población del estudio estuvo conformada por 900 alumnos y 98 docentes de la de la institución educativa de secundaria República de Colombia, RED 04, UGEL 02, San Martin de Porres y la muestra se seleccionó al azar, bajo el muestreo aleatorio simple, está referida a 193 encuestados.Para el trabajo de campo se utilizó un cuestionario de preguntas aplicadas a la muestra. Los resultados fueron procesados mediante la estadística descriptiva y la inferencial, se aplicó la distribución Chi-Cuadrado y Coeficiente de correlación de Sperman. Los resultados de esta investigación fue analizada e interpretada mediante gráficos estadísticos, concluyendo que no existe un buen clima institucional y como consecuencia el desempeño docente es muy pobre, existiendo relación directa entre el Clima organizacional y el desempeño docente en la institución educativa de secundaria República de Colombia, RED 04, UGEL 02, San Martín de Porres-2012
