A global review, which analysed 23 meta-analyses containing data on nearly three million children across 64 countries, identified associations between screen use and various aspects of children’s mental health and development. According to the authors, these findings may help to inform and refine guidelines and policies on screen use. The results are published in the journal JAMA Pediatrics.
The temporary employment rate for teaching staff in Spain is 31%, above the OECD average of 19% and the EU average of 17%. This is one of the results of the latest edition of TALIS, the Teaching and Learning International Study, promoted by the OECD and involving more than 50 participating countries. In its previous edition, in 2018, 33% of Spanish teachers had temporary contracts. The study also shows that teacher job satisfaction is among the highest, at 95%—compared to 89% in the OECD and 90% in the EU. As a new feature, TALIS analyzes four new areas: the impact of artificial intelligence on learning and teaching, managing diversity in the classroom, socio-emotional learning, and education for sustainability.
