MARTINO, Andrea. LAS INASISTENCIAS DE LOS ESTUDIANTES: LA ESCUELA SECUNDARIA EN CUESTIÓN. Rev. Esc. Cienc. Educ. [online]. 2016, vol.1, n.11, pp.47-63. ISSN 1851-6297.

In this article progress of a research work studying student absenteeism in secondary schools is presented. It is a case study in a state-run school located in a town near Córdoba city. We start the text setting out the approach to the issue of non-attendance at school. We consider it as a powerful concept to analyze tensions that arise between public policy definitions adding and democratizing time to school and difficulties to turn that time into effective learning. We assume student absenteeism means discontinuity, interruption and reduction of time to learn. We also believe there are multiple reasons and conditions that foster this problem being therefore necessary to distinguish between different forms of absenteeism. Research fieldwork highlights the voices of those who are frequently absent from school, leading us to the set of obstacles and conditions that difficult these students' attendance at school. Consequently we are in better conditions to understand the meanings they construct in a time to learn that may match students' vital time or not. Final reflections are presented as an invitation to ask and think of alternatives towards improving students' attendance at school from a more integrated perspective on work with youngsters.
