The paper focuses on locating the career and contributions made by María Bertely Busquets to the historical research on the Mexican education field to highlight a facet of her intellectual activity that was little known but very important to her. The edition of La División es nuestra fuerza. Escuela, Estado-nación y poder étnico en un pueblo migrante de Oaxaca, her great posthumous work, constitutes the axis of the account of her participation and contributions to the education historiography in the country. But, in addition, it serves to situate a prolonged constructive process preceded by approaches to the history and historicization of the culture of the school and its agents from ethnographic practice, which then gives way to the deepening and development of the anthropological-historical method that deploys in the work. As a final reflection, the importance of bringing together the works and promoting intellectual exchange between anthropologists and historians of education is highlighted. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper analyses one particular experience of Human Rights Education at the university environment: the "Seminar on Justice and Human Rights" at the National University of Lanús, Buenos Aires, Argentina. The course is compulsory and cross-cutting for students taking undergraduate and undergraduate degree courses at that institution. The general objective of this research was to find out how cis women, cis men and the LGBTIQ+ community experienced this type of training spaces. The analysis was carried out from the perspective of the participants, especially the students, which is a fundamental and understudied approach in this field. The methodology used was mixed: both, 1703 student surveys conducted in the period 2017-2022 and three semi-structured interviews with teachers during 2023, were analysed. Among the main results, it was observed that the cis-male group showed less interest in gender issues and in the fact that there is this type of compulsory education at the university environment, compared to the other groups. In addition, it was noted that the different groups are questioned differently, depending on the topic in question. Finally, the article ends with some reflections on masculinities in the processes of Human Rights Education at university. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The United Nations claims that education is a crucial element in reducing poverty rates in any country if it is accessible, adaptable, acceptable, and affordable; known as the 4A's of education, which are considered within the national education policy. This paper analyzes the effect of the 4A's of education on multidimensional moderate-income poverty and extreme income poverty in Mexico in the years 2010 and 2020. This is achieved with the analysis of microdata from the Module of Socioeconomic Conditions of the National Survey of Household Income and Expenditure (MCS - ENIGH) 2010 and 2020 and with dichotomous logit models. The results indicate that the 4A's have a greater effect on the reduction of multidimensional extreme income poverty than on moderate, even over different periods. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

According to Diogenes Laertius, Hipparchia of Maroneia decided to use for her education the time she was going to waste on the loom (VI98=SSR V I 1). The aim of this paper is to analyze the reason and implications of this decision. I will point out that it is based on the gender equality thesis supported by the Cynics, and I will try to show that it has at least two implications: not only the defense of a certain kind of education, but also of parrhesia, i.e. the practice of free, frank, and open discourse.

The Region of Murcia has a broad and well-distributed educational structure. However, the information published to this end in the main national and regional statistical portals is archaic and has not been updated during the last five years. This fact urgently demands a revision and modernisation of the data from the educational centres. Against this background, this paper aims to provide a report on the current state of the educational structure of the Region of Murcia, providing a more detailed view including the organisation of educational centres in different categories and their cartographic representation. Similarly, the characteristics, educational levels, and services offered by each centre are analysed, with the aim of estimating whether the ranking of affinity and recommendation of the best educational centres in the Region of Murcia produced by the "Micole" portal is representative or, on the contrary, data were collected subjectively and therefore they do not correspond to the services offered by each centre. The results obtained show that during the period of time in which no academic data have been published, the Region of Murcia has considerably increased the number of educational centres (71). Most of these are state-funded and provide General Regime education. As for the veracity of the "Micole" survey, it can be established that the centres analysed in this portal show better characteristics and services than other schools in the Region of Murcia.

The incorporation of Universal Design for Learning (UDL) into Spanish educational legislation as a framework for addressing student diversity has been met with criticism. Three main objections can be identified. Firstly, the lack of evidence supporting its neuroscientific basis. Secondly, the scarcity of empirical data to demonstrate its efficacy for improving learning. Thirdly, the difficulty in operationalizing and implementing its framework in practice. Based on a thorough review of key literature on UDL, this paper delves into and discusses these limitations considering the theoretical and practical foundations of the model. Furthermore, research directions are pointed out to advance its development, exploring its potential as a framework for identifying barriers for learning in lesson plans. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This reflection article is part of the theoretical advances of the Doctoral Thesis titled "Scientific Culture in Teacher Training in Sciences. Approach to Intersubjective Models" developed within the framework of the Doctorate in Human Sciences at the University of Talca (Chile). In this paper, epistemological and didactic features that could substantially contribute to scientific culture from the teacher's practice are characterized and analyzed. From a hermeneutical exercise, epistemological elements emerged that assign a transcendent role to the teacher and the educational practice: 1) recognize the latent: educating in sciences, with the purpose of building scientific culture implies overcoming the interactions and experiences that occur on the phenomenological experiential level, and giving greater importance to the deep structures that cultural models contain, interpretive patterns that support didactics; 2) promote Verstehen: the understanding of science and scientific knowledge must occur inductively, that is, starting from reality and not from theory; 3) complexifying and integrating disciplines: it implies overcoming the partial or segmented vision of reality, giving way to complex and interdisciplinary perspectives; 4) valuing uniqueness: it calls for considering the science that is taught as a cognitive component of culture permeated by context and history. These are features that strengthen the relevance of an education where the teacher is a public intellectual who uses dialogic competences, placing scientific knowledge in the framework of current challenges, among them, the construction of scientific culture.

This paper analyzes the experiences of participation in the strike carried out by students of Unit 071 of the National Pedagogical University of Tuxtla Gutierrez, Chiapas, Mexico. From a reflective approach, the historical memory of the process is recovered from documentary analysis, records of assemblies and marches, as well interviews with students and leaders of the movement. The information was grouped into two blocks: From the pandemic to the student strike. Subjectivation and existential plot; in which the vicissitudes of organization and actions carried out are exposed; and, The word must be worth, which discusses the network of actions, synergies, meetings and disagreements between students to undertake negotiations with educational and governmental authorities. The confluence of other social movements, the mobilization and taking of the streets, contributed to the strike's resolution, which inaugurated an unprecedented experience of struggle and resistance for these students.

The paper studies the particularities of the educational policies of the Popular Unity. To answer this question, the context has been recreated and the main issues and conflict of these policies are explored. This objective is original because most of the investigations on this regard have studied the logic of the groups that fought to govern the country, have highlighted the differences between the educational projects of past governments or have evidenced the controversies surrounding the Unified National School. To achieve this answer, the study carried out an exhaustive review of the main primary and secondary sources in this matter [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper will develop what is understood by the right to education and how it is specifically regulated in the contexts of confinement, taking into account how the educational stimulus regulated in article 140 of Law 24.660 operates and its importance in the process of social reintegration of inmates. A comparison will be made between what is sanctioned by the National Education Law and the international human rights instruments with constitutional hierarchy that support this right and what actually happens in the penitentiary system. Likewise, an analysis will be made of Argentine jurisprudence that recognizes the right to education of persons deprived of liberty and its importance for the system of progressiveness regulated by the law of penal execution. On the other hand, an analysis will be made of how, in practice, the reduction regulated by article 140 has lost its virtuality due to the introduction of a group of offenses that are not eligible for the liberatory institutes through Law 27.375. The main objective lies in the need to emphasize that education in prison contexts is essential for social reintegration and that the State has the obligation to guarantee this right.

This paper addresses a reality insufficiently studied in penitentiary centers: the impact of participation in leisure, sports, and cultural activities on the desistance process of incarcerated individuals and as a protective factor against committing new crimes. It was carried out in one of the eight ordinary regime penitentiary centers that the Generalitat of Catalonia (Spain) has in its territory. In this exploratory research, a quantitative design was chosen to allow a static, confirmatory reading of the benefits of leisure, sports, and cultural activities in penitentiary contexts, focusing on improving competencies that benefit desistance processes. The results show the perceived benefits by the incarcerated individuals and how these influence positive identity construction processes. Some recommendations derived from the results obtained are provided, which may suggest actions in penitentiary treatment and the design of public policies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
