Our work focuses on the participation of students of primary education in decision-making. We carried out a qualitative case study of two public Primary schools with the aim of illustrating good models of student participation. On the one hand, our results highlight the opportunities resulting from the creation of specific structures of student participation, such as class and student councils, because they allow students to participate in collective rule-making, conflict management and the planning and evaluation of school and class activities. On the other hand, the results emphasize the contributions derived from the use of teaching methods that enhance student participation in decision making on academic issues by selecting contents, the inclusion of self-assessment processes and the self-organization of work time. Overall, the results obtained point out that it is feasible to organize the activity of a Primary Education center encouraging students to participate in decision making and they add evidence supported in the practice of two schools to progress in the study and promotion of school participation. ; Nuestro trabajo se centra en la participación del alumnado de Educación Primaria en la toma de decisiones. Realizamos un estudio cualitativo de casos de dos colegios públicos de Educación Primaria con el objetivo de ilustrar cómo puede expresarse la participación del alumnado. Nuestros resultados señalan, por un lado, las posibilidades derivadas de la creación de estructuras específicas de participación del alumnado, como la asamblea de clase y las asambleas de estudiantes, pues permiten que los estudiantes participen en la elaboración colectiva de normas, la gestión de conflictos y la planificación y evaluación de actividades del aula y el centro. Por otro lado, destacamos la utilización de metodologías en el aula que contribuyan a la participación del alumnado en la toma de decisiones sobre asuntos académicos mediante la selección de contenidos, la inclusión de procesos de autoevaluación y la organización del tiempo propio de trabajo. Vistos en conjunto, los resultados obtenidos indican que es viable organizar la actividad de un centro de Educación Primaria fomentando que el alumnado participe en la toma de decisiones y añaden evidencia sustentada en la práctica de dos colegios para avanzar en el estudio y la promoción de la participación en la escuela.

This article explores the connections between the construct of sexism and other sociodemographic and attitudinal variables, such as internalized homonegativity and heteronormative resistances, among psychology students. Both unrefined and inferential analyses were used with a representative sample of 841 psychology students from public universities in Madrid. Results showed higher levels of sexism, internalized homonegativity and low resistances to heteronormativity among groups of men, heterosexuals and conservatives. Interactions were found that showed a higher degree of hostile sexism in: heterosexual people with respect to LGB and heterosexual men with respect to heterosexual women. Also, interactions were found to show a greater degree of heteronormative resistance in: LGB people with respect to heterosexuals and left-wing women with respect to right-wing women. Correlations with sexism varied according to gender identity and sexual orientation. In addition, heteronormative resistances correlated negatively with sexism, while some components of internalized homonegativity correlated positively. Political affiliation was the most frequent predictor of sexism. The results highlight the need for an intersectional approach to understanding the phenomenon of sexism. ; This research and article are made possible by the guidance and support of the project team "FEM2016-76797-R: Epistemologías feministas y activismos en salud".

The present study evaluates the correlations between sexism, homonegativity, binegativity, pro-trans attitudes, political affiliation, contact with LGBT individuals and perceived stigma among psychology students. A study was conducted with 655 cis women (471 heterosexuals, 179 bisexuals and lesbians) and 174 cis men (120 heterosexuals, 54 bisexuals and gays). Descriptive, multivariate analysis of variance, bivariate correlations and multiple regression were used. In general, the groups of men and heterosexuals obtained higher negativity scores and lower acceptance scores, with significant correlations being more frequent in the heterosexual group. Predictive models confirmed the literature on social and ideological conservatism.
