Educational success
Scientific evidence
- Lack of mental health increases academic procrastination
- Grade repetition does not contribute to educational success or to the improvement of the educational trajectories of students who repeat grades
- Working on competence, autonomy and relatedness boosts students’ motivation
- Academic achievement implies quality relations
- Self-esteem has a relation with academic performance
- Evidence-based educational policies prevent school dropout and increase educational attainment
- The active participation of families is necessary for a good educational environment
- Play as a learning strategy in early childhood education for the full development of the child
- There are benefits from the involvement of families in learning, effort, and in the high expectations of the students
Hoax
- When students work individually, they pay more attention and, therefore, they learn more
- Extended learning time may be exhausting for children and does not improve academic success
- Private education is more efficient than public education
- Learning depends on the different ‘learning styles’ displayed by students
- Students benefit from grade repetition
- Students attend more and learn more when they are quiet
- Children need to get bored and not be stressed
