There is also a ProZ entry here which may or may not help, but here goes: http://www.proz.com/kudoz/spanish_to_english/education_pedag...

I think we need more context to be sure.

agree  Andy Watkinson: As opposed to what's known in Spain as "jornada intensiva", i.e. same number of hours but without any significant break.
3 hrs
  -> Thanks so much Andy. Un abrazo.

agree  Sergio Kot
15 hrs
  -> Gracias Sergio.
neutral  Charles Davis: Hi Taña. I'm not sure this is the same thing. Double shift means one lot of students in the morning and a different lot in the afternoon, but jornada doble is same students morning and afternoon, instead of just morning or just afternoon.
22 hrs
  -> Charles, given the context, it is difficult to say what it is! (...Colegio Evangélico Mixto "Berea" and it is described as Jornada Doble)
agree  MollyRose: I have translated several transcripts from Guatemala, including from this school. The jornada is referring to the student in question, not the whole school. The student attended in the morning or evening. In this case, the student attended both shifts.
1 day 3 hrs
  -> Thank you Molly.
