Abstract
La complejidad de los numerosos centros educativos situados en el medio
rural exige estudios específicos. Dado que todas las investigaciones
señalan el papel relevante de las direcciones escolares, en este artículo se
pretende conocer la situación de las escuelas rurales españolas a partir de
la realización de entrevistas a directores escolares de dos comunidades
autónomas con el objetivo de conocer sus posibilidades, limitaciones y
demandas en la actualidad. Los resultados muestran semejanzas y diferencias
singulares entre las escuelas unitarias, los colegios rurales agrupados
y los centros de educación infantil y primaria. Las conclusiones
revelan una escuela rural que tiene posibilidades como la individualización
de la enseñanza debido a las ratios bajas; limitaciones como la interinidad
del profesorado, contextos aislados o desfavorecidos y bajo nivel
cultural o expectativas educativas; y demandas de servicios e infraestructuras,
de dotación en tecnologías de la información, y de oferta cultural
en las proximidades del centro.
The complexity of numerous education centers located in rural areas demands specific studies. Given that all investigations remark on the relevant role of school management, this article proposes to examine the situation of Spanish rural schools, by conducting interviews with school managers in two autonomous communities with the aim of identifying their possibilities, limitations, and demands in the present day. The results show singular similarities and differences between unitary schools, grouped rural schools, and pre-school and elementary education centers. The conclusions reveal a rural school which has possibilities like individualization of teaching due to low ratios; limitations like temporary status of teachers, isolated or underprivileged contexts, and low cultural level or educational expectations; and demand for services and infrastructure, access to information technology, and cultural offerings in proximity to schools.
