Introduction Several rules at international level have progressively recognized the need to incorporate the respect for the principle of Equality between men and women. European institutions are not an exception to this and they understand that equal opportunities for men and women are paramount to achieving social cohesion in the European society. Using the tools they have, they develop rules and act through specific measures to fight against gender- based discrimination. Equal opportunities for men and women are however not yet a reality in Europe. The data provided by the statistical office of the European Union (Eurostat1) prove that there are still inequalities between men and women, as reflected in the gender segregation of the labor market, the lack of women's presence in decision-making bodies, the gender pay gap and gender-based violence, among other aspects. The underlying causes of these inequalities are the sexual division of labour and the survival of roles and stereotypes traditionally given to men and women, which provoke an inequality situation between both sexes. A stereotyped view of people's gender identity is generated. It seems evident that one of the ways to limit the impact of gender roles and stereotypes is through developing techniques which prevent their passing on and survival generation after generation. Many theories on the development of boys and girls' personality and identity place significant importance on the school, as a determining agent in forming and/or consolidating the values making up gender identity. School is one of the institutions which, along with the family and the peer group, plays an essential role in the process of socialization. Not only the formal knowledge stipulated by the educational policy (called the formal curriculum) is transferred at school, but also the hidden curriculum is developed in parallel. The hidden curriculum is defined as the group of values, attitudes and habits forming part of boys and girls' learning and which are determining elements of each of their personal identities (Bourdieu in Giddens, 1998). A group of stereotypes and prejudices having a negative impact and impacting on the survival of inequalities between men and women are also transferred along with the former. Therefore, school must be the space where not only theoretical and practical knowledge is transferred, but also where values based on the respect for the different are learned. Thus, the necessary preconditions will arise for boys and girls to have the chance to freely choose among the existing options, regardless of their sex and without any limitations. Public powers, faculty, school staff, families and students share the responsibility to achieve the implementation of this school model in order to have a more equal society. 1 Source: http://epp.eurostat.ec.europa.eu/cache/ITY_OFFPUB/KS-FP-13-001/EN/KS-FP-13-001-EN.PDF 7 The aim is for the educational model to adopt Equality Education or co-education principles, a concept which may be defined as: “The current pedagogical proposal to meet the call for Equality from the feminist theory, which suggests to redesign the knowledge transfer model and ideas from a gender approach in socialization spaces devoted to training and learning” (Women's Institute, 2007). In many European countries, co-education has a wider meaning than in Spain, as it refers to education in equal conditions for everybody, regardless of their sex, race, religion, ethnic origin, intellectual capacity or any other circumstance which may be a cause for discrimination. Thus, in order to avoid confusion, this study will use the term “Equality Education”. 8 2. Rationale behind the project and goals 2.1. Rationale behind the project The situation diagnosis study on Equality Education is framed within the Project “Equality Education-Plurales”. “Plurales” is a project resulting from the cooperation of donor countries in the Economic European Area (EEA) 2 and the Spanish Government (in this

Among these tools, cinema has influenced successive generations more than 100 years. From an educational point of view, it is a resource of high pedagogical value. Moreover, it is present in the daily life of university students who will be the future teachers. Therefore, the aim of this study is to find out the film consumption habits of students in the teacher0s degree in Spanish universities. A quantitative approach was adopted with a survey design, and the national sample was made up of 4659 students. They ware from the different regions of Spain and 58 universities. The questionnaire called Percepciones sobre las potencialidades del cine como recurso didáctico en las aulas de Infantil y Primaria (PECID) was designed ad hoc for this research. The results obtained showed that most students have a weekly habit of consuming films, with fiction being the most popular type of film. Likewise, the viewing of films is preferably done through television and the computer.

Cinema was able to bring together moving image and sound for the first time, and as a result of its audiovisual nature, it is a particularly suitable resource for motivation in education. In this light, the teacher’s perception for its application in its initial formal stage is highly relevant. The main objective of our research, therefore, has been to analyze the perceptions of cinema as a didactic resource for the transmission of content in preschool and primary education by students who are studying to become teachers themselves. The sample was composed of 4659 students from Spanish universities, both public and private. In addition to this, the PECID questionnaire was elaborated ad hoc and a comparative ex post facto design was adopted. The result showed that over 87% of students recognized the diverse educational potentialities of cinema, with motivation being an important factor. Furthermore, significant differences were found in perceptions according to different factors such as the type of teacher training degree, the Autonomous Community in which the student studied, as well as film consumption habits.

  • The Fragility of Gender Equality Policies in Spain
    social sciences $€ £ ¥ Article The Fragility of Gender Equality Policies in Spain Octavio Salazar Benítez Public and Economic Law Department, University of Córdoba, Plaza de Puerta Nueva, s/n, 14002 Córdoba, Spain; [email protected] Academic Editor: Nancy Naples Received: 15 December 2015; Accepted: 20 April 2016; Published: 26 April 2016 Abstract: Within the last decade, Spain has become a model in legislative policies for gender equality at the international level. However, the economic crisis has led to a growth in inequality, which has revealed the weaknesses of the adopted instruments. Despite the large amount of legislation in this area, the social reality has not changed at all, even experiencing a setback over the past few years. This situation was exposed in our country by a report issued in 2015 by the UN Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW). This report showed the negative effects of the economic crisis and austerity policies on women, even in a context necessitating increased efforts towards women’s rights. Therefore, it is imperative that the concept of gender mainstreaming and the adoption of instruments of “hard law” be revisited. The goal should be to achieve gender justice based on three elements—distribution, identity, and representation—and a real parity democracy. Keywords: equality; gender mainstreaming; hard law; justice; economic crisis; parity democracy 1. Introduction In Madrid on 12 May 2009, the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe, in the Declaration “Making Gender Equality a Reality”, highlighted that “the legal status of women had improved over time, but that 20 years after, its Declaration on equality of women and men (Council of Europe, 1988), bridging the gap between gender equality in fact and in laws is still a challenge for its member states.” However, that gap has grown in recent years in Europe: “The European Economic Recovery Plan” does not mention the concepts of “gender”, “equality” or “women”, despite the discrepancies of gender for women and men in the crisis.
