TEACHERS ON STUDENTS’ TIME. A STUDY ON TIME AS LEARNING RESOURCE
TEACHERS ON STUDENTS’ TIME. A STUDY ON TIME AS LEARNING RESOURCE

Summary/Abstract: The current study represents a synthesis of a hands-on research carried out among primary and secondary school teachers concerning the way in which students’ time is shared among learning activities and other activities that that students carry out outside the school programme. By tackling time as a resource of school learning, and by underlying the predominantly limited character of this resource, the present study raises the issue of competition between school learning and other activities that students carry out. The investigation among teachers is focused on two aspects: the former being the dynamics of the time that students set aside for individual study and doing home assignments, the latter pertaining to extra-curricular activities that occupy students’ time, diminishing time resources allocated for school learning.
