\"\"<\/p>\n

The change of educational stage generates concern in students, families and the educational community.\u00a0Probably, this uncertainty suggests that the odd courses are more difficult, especially in secondary and high school.<\/p>\n

Curiously, this idea is not equally widespread with respect to odd-numbered grades in primary school.\u00a0What is it that makes us think like this about the odd courses of secondary school and high school?\u00a0Are they really more complex?\u00a0What challenges are presented in these courses?<\/p>\n

To understand the possible difficulties that students face in these courses, it is necessary to pay attention to the students in this period.\u00a0Because perhaps the difficulty is not in the odd courses, but in a combination of internal and external circumstances, among which we can highlight the following:<\/p>\n

First of ESO and first adolescence<\/strong><\/h4>\n

First of all, the most prominent internal factor is the beginning of\u00a0adolescence<\/a>\u00a0.\u00a0It is a particularly complex phase of human development and affects behavior in the classroom and in the family context.\u00a0It is essential to understand the obstacles faced by students going through adolescence as they move through the educational system.<\/p>\n

At this time, young people prioritize relationships with friends and colleagues over family relationships.\u00a0They focus their efforts on differentiating themselves from their parents and distancing themselves from the family group.<\/p>\n

Adolescents seek independence and question positions they previously accepted.\u00a0Interest in couple relationships and concern for academic and employment orientation are aroused.\u00a0It is not surprising that adolescence and the conflicts associated with it affect academic performance and attitude in the classroom.<\/p>\n

It is a time of changes, especially psychological and social, which are added to the demands posed by the educational system.\u00a0Conflicts around identity and group membership are frequent.\u00a0These generate difficulties for the individual and tensions to be faced on a daily basis.<\/p>\n

Change of pedagogical model<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Secondly, the most relevant external factor has to do with the\u00a0organization of the educational system and the Secondary Education curriculum<\/a>\u00a0.\u00a0The beginning of this stage implies the need to adapt to different pedagogical models.\u00a0In many cases, this is coupled with a change of center that\u00a0generates concern<\/a>\u00a0for students and families.\u00a0This concern leads many to experience the first year of Secondary as a difficult course, especially at the beginning.<\/p>\n

However, after the stage, the impression in our experience is that they remember the third course worse than the first.\u00a0Considering the organization of the secondary curriculum, the high number of third-year subjects can be pointed out as a complexity inherent to this course, especially when it comes to organization.\u00a0But from the point of view of curricular content, there is no more difficulty in odd-numbered courses than in even-numbered ones.<\/p>\n

Baccalaureate: new concerns<\/strong><\/h4>\n

The\u00a0Baccalaureate<\/a>\u00a0is a step towards adult life.\u00a0The change of stage does not necessarily imply a change of teachers or center.\u00a0But new concerns appear: the average, the choice of itineraries, the professional future, etc.<\/p>\n

Despite the added difficulties, our experience is that neither the students nor their families experience first as the most difficult course.\u00a0In the case of the Baccalaureate, the difficulties are maintained or increase in second grade.\u00a0There are added other challenges such as the\u00a0university entrance exam<\/a>\u00a0and the pressure generated by the cut-off grades or\u00a0not being clear<\/a>\u00a0about what to study next.<\/p>\n

Unavoidable difficulties<\/strong><\/h4>\n

In short, it does not seem that the odd courses are more difficult than the even ones.\u00a0At least not considering the courses themselves.\u00a0The difficulties arise from the combination of factors associated with the educational system and many others linked to the vital moment of the students.<\/p>\n

Maturing implies taking on challenges and facing responsibilities.\u00a0On their journey, students will encounter difficulties that we cannot avoid.\u00a0So, what can we do from the centers and the families to help the students?<\/p>\n

Rethink objectives<\/strong><\/h4>\n

The educational system must rethink the objectives of each educational stage and its contribution to the competences and abilities of the students, to establish the curricular contents.\u00a0In Spain,\u00a0Organic Law 3\/2020<\/a>\u00a0modifies the curriculum trying to meet the needs of students, but this change does not seem enough.<\/p>\n

It is necessary to facilitate the transition between educational stages.\u00a0It is necessary to create a support network between educational institutions, professionals and families to provide students with tools to face difficulties.<\/p>\n

It is important to reinforce the role of the Guidance Department at all stages.\u00a0The\u00a0Tutorial Action Plan<\/a>\u00a0must respond to students, families and professionals.\u00a0In addition, professionals must have specific training to care for adolescents.<\/p>\n

The family<\/strong><\/h4>\n

The family structure is a basic pillar in the formation of the human being.\u00a0For this reason, fluid communication with educational centers is essential, establishing participation and collaboration between both.<\/p>\n

A good part of the difficulties that appear in the odd courses of ESO and Baccalaureate are due more to the changes experienced in adolescence.\u00a0Adolescents need the support of adults to manage the changes and challenges that come their way.\u00a0For this reason, the dialogue between the educational institution and the families is the best support strategy to face the changes at each stage.<\/p>\n
