Notre réflexion postule une invention conceptuelle de l'enseignement secondaire qui se distingue d'une invention historique. À travers l'étude des débats suscités par l'élaboration de réformes ou de lois sur l'enseignement secondaire dans les États-providence, nous souhaitons démontrer que le XXe siècle est celui de l’invention philosophique de l’enseignement secondaire. Cette invention se concrétise par la constitution de modèles nationaux d’enseignement secondaire. Nous comparons le modèle républicain français aux modèles libéral anglais, nationaliste allemand, idéaliste italien, libéral états-unien et social-démocrate finlandais. Ces modèles nationaux, aux traditions culturelles et idéologiques différentes, sont confrontés, tout au long du XXe siècle, à des enjeux communs quant à l’accueil et à l’éducation de l’adolescence. Notre réflexion s’étend jusqu’à l’entrée dans le XXIe siècle, par la mise en évidence d’un modèle international d’enseignement secondaire, qui tend à influencer – voire à dissoudre – les modèles nationaux. Nous proposons d’interpréter les processus successifs de démocratisation et de modernisation, de féminisation et de mixité, d'égalité des chances et de mise en place de l'école unique, comme trois phases d'une invention philosophique du secondaire et comme trois moments constitutifs des modèles nationaux d'enseignement secondaire ; modèles qui se trouvent mis en danger à l’entrée dans le XXIe siècle. / This reflexion postulates a conceptual invention of secondary education which differs from a historical invention. The study of the debates which followed the development of reforms or laws on secondary education in welfare states, demonstrates that the twentieth century is the century of the philosophical invention of secondary education. This invention materializes in the formation of national models of secondary education. This work proposes to compare the French Republican model to the English liberal model, the nationalist German model, the idealistic italian model, the liberal model of the United States of America and the social democratic Finnish model. Throughout the twentieth century, these national models, with different cultural and ideological traditions, face,with common issues regarding the reception and education of adolescence. This reflexion extends to the entry into the twenty-first century, highlighting an international model of secondary education, which tends to influence – or even to dissolve – the national models. The successive processes of democratization and modernization, feminization and coeducation, equal opportunities and implementation of the comprehensive school, are interpreted as three phases of a philosophical invention of the secondary education and as three moments constituting national models of secondary education ; models which are in danger at entry into the twenty-first century.

Anhand von statistischen Angaben von Frau Dr. Vo Thi Ngoc Lan wird ein Blick auf die Gleichstellungsarbeit in der soz. Republik Vietnam im Allgemeinen und an der Technisch-Pädagogischen Universität Ho Chi Minh Stadt im Speziellen geworfen. Sowohl in Vietnam als auch in der Bundesrepublik Deutschland besteht in mancherlei Hinsicht noch ein Ungleichgewicht der Geschlechter. Somit besteht im Bereich der Sicherung einer echten Chancengleichheit der Geschlechter noch Handlungsbedarf, wie im Beitrag gezeigt wird.

Die Dissertation beschäftigt sich mit dem gesellschaftlichen Auftrag an Kindertagesstätten zur Kompensation von Chancenungerechtigkeit im Aufwachsen und dem Stand der Umsetzung in Dresden. Zunächst wurde herausgearbeitet, welche Leitideen einem solchen Chancenausgleich zugrunde liegen, sowie eine spezifisch kindzentrierte Sozialraumanalyse angefertigt. Danach wurde analysiert, welches Wissen zur Umsetzung der Leitideen die gängigen Kita-Ausbildungen vermitteln. Mittels einer eigenen Erhebung unter 150 ErzieherInnen wurde der Frage nachgegangen, inwieweit Kita-Fachkräfte unterschiedlicher Berufsabschlüsse divergente Prioritäten hinsichtlich der Umsetzung der Leitideen setzen und ob sich ihre Sicht auf die gesellschaftliche Anerkennung nach Sozialraumkategorien unterscheidet. Ergänzend wurden 36 Experteninterviews zur Außenwahrnehmung der Kita-Arbeit durchgeführt. Die Arbeit bezieht sich auf den kulturtheoretischen Ansatz Bourdieus.:1.

The thesis "Discrimination of older persons in their access to employment"focuses on the discrimination problem of persons over 50 years of age when they look for a job. The discrimination is one of the factors that prevent older persons from entering the labor market, which affects not only those persons but the whole society as well. At first, the thesis determines the theoretical concepts, which it comes from. Those concepts go through the whole thesis. Further on, it outlines a brief survey of national and European legal norms that deal with the given problem. It also introduces institutions that manage the problem and that we can contact in case of encounter with discrimination. In the next part, the thesis focuses on the negative aspects of discrimination and on the occurrence frequency of discrimination itself in the Czech Republic, particularly in the job advertisements and during job interviews. The practical part of the thesis concentrates on the discrimination of person over 50 in the district of Teplice, both from the point of view of the unemployed persons and the employees of the Labor Office. The final part identifies main fields of problems, which it propose possible solutions for.

Promoting equal opportunity - competition "Office of the 2009". The theme of this thesis is the competition "Fifty-fifty" - respect for equal opportunities of women and men that emerged at the initiative of NGO Gender Studies, o.p.s. and the Ministry of Interior. The theoretical part focuses on the theoretical foundations and legislative basis of equal opportunities for women and men. I also represent an institutional apparatus that may serve as the basis when asserting the equal opportunities, including basic documents. I also refer to the non-state sector activities and individual types of instruments for promoting equal opportunities. For the context of the competition, the activities of the coordinator of gender equality issues in the Ministry of Interior, which are also the part of the theoretical part, are also important. The empirical part focuses mainly on the methodology of the survey which I used when setting up a new questionnaire for the purposes of the competition. It is the setting of the improved questionnaire that would enable easy evaluation is also the goal of my thesis.

After many years of equal opportunities legislation, motherhood still limits womens' career progress even in a feminized occupation such as nursing. While the effect of motherhood, working hours, career breaks and school aged children upon career progression has been discussed widely, its actual scale and magnitude has received less research attention. The purpose of this paper is to examine the impact of these factors individually and cumulatively. Design/methodology/approach: This paper considers the impact of the above through a longitudinal analysis of a demographically unique national database, comprising the 46,565 registered nursing workforces in NHS Scotland from 2000-2008. The variables examined include gender, employment grades, number and length of career breaks, lengths of service, age, working patterns, the number and age of dependent children. Findings: The results indicate: motherhood has a regressively detrimental effect on women's career progression. However, this is a simplistic term which covers a more complex process related to the age of dependent children, working hours and career breaks. The degree of women's restricted career progression is directly related to the school age of the dependent children: the younger the child the greater the detrimental impact. Women who take a career break of greater than two years see their careers depressed and restricted. The results confirm that whilst gender has a relatively positive effect on male career progression; a women's career progression is reduced incrementally as she has more children, and part-time workers have reduced career progression regardless of maternal or paternal circumstances. Originality/value: This paper is the only example internationally, of a national workforce being examined on this scale and therefore its findings are significant. For the first time the impact of motherhood upon a women's career progression and the related factors; dependent children, career breaks and part-time working are quantified. These findings are relevant across many areas of employment and they are significant in relation to broadening the debate around equal opportunities for women.
