This contribution investigates students’ time budget across 28 European Higher Education Area member countries from a (descriptive) comparative perspective and it provides an in-depth analysis for Hungarian students. Whether students spend more time in direct interaction with teaching staff, or studying on their own, reflects the varying requirements set by different types of higher education institutions, fields of study, and study programmes. Additionally, time investments vary among different groups of students

Der Beitrag untersucht, ob Studierende eine geringere finanzielle familiäre und/oder staatliche Unterstützung durch (vermehrte) Erwerbsarbeit kompensieren, ob diese Erwerbszeit in Konkurrenz zur Studienzeit steht, und welche Studierendengruppen durch die gezeigten Zusammenhänge hinsichtlich ihrer Studienzeit besonders benachteiligt sind. Eine anhand der 21. Sozialerhebung durchgeführte Pfadanalyse zeigt, dass solchen Studierenden ein Nachteil entsteht, deren Basiseinkommen zur Finanzierung ihrer Lebenshaltungs- und Studienkosten nicht ausreicht. Dies betrifft besonders ältere Studierende und Studierende ohne akademisch geprägtes Elternhaus

Policy instruments such as the National Policy for Reducing Substance Use (Ministerio de Protección Social, 2007) and the National Law on School Coexistence (CRC, 2013) follow a preventive approach to address the problem of alcoholism. However, neither national public bodies nor schools often have access to information on prevention programs based on scientific evidence. In this article, the international literature on alcohol abuse prevention programs in the school setting is reviewed. It was found that the most robust programs are characterized by (1) differentiating between abuse and use, (2) addressing the problem of addiction to different psychoactive substances, (3) relating alcohol to overall social-emotional problems.

Previous research has shown how peace education (PE) mutates according to socio-political and curricular/didactic traditions, but we still need to know how PE disseminates at the school level. We surveyed teachers from 12 rural schools of the violent Amazon region of Colombia where a national Law made PE mandatory in schools and universities. Teachers working on schools affected by the armed conflict have high expectations about PE. Teachers also have opposing views about the history of PE. We could not find a systematic pattern of responses about the pedagogical principles or theoretical sources of inspiration of PE. We discuss the differences between present PE reforms and the previous tradition related to classical Education.

This article analyses the network of international student mobility (ISM) between OECD and European Higher Education Area (EHEA) member countries between 2000 and 2009. It aims at investigating the link between countries’ level of democracy and how this impacts on their ability to attract degree‐mobile students from abroad. Social Network Analysis (SNA) and Exponential Random Graph Modelling (ERGM) are used to show that the ties of student mobility occur more often when both countries in the dyad have either low or high levels of democracy and when the receiving country is also economically wealthy. The network is characterized by a core‐periphery structure where a few countries act as hubs with numerous strong ties
