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 present paper wants to share the project called "Participative Community methodologists in ludoteca felt and thought from education". It stared in 2022. The idea is part of a process in the subject Community and Institutional Psychology, that belongs to the career of University technicality in Social Education of the Faculty of Education of the National University of Cuyo. This process began 5 year ago and aims deepening and building bridges of knowledge and meanings between Social Education and Community Psychology. Furthermore, this experience is part of the Educational Social Practices Program (PSE) belonging to the Secretariat of Extension and Linkage of the UNCuyo. This project sought to ensure that students who were studying the university subjectof Community and Institutional Psychology, of the FED - UNCuyo, applied participatory community methodologies. They recived the tutoring of advanced students and graduates of the carrear and teachers. The project was carried out in a place called "ludoteca" in the "Nucleus of Innovation and Development of Opportunities" (NIDO). In addition, the specific objectives were: 1- Carry out methodologies that promote understanding of the socio-historical context; 2- Analyze current problems and needs that afflict the child population; 3- Understand the population dynamics involved and 4- Maintain, through play, a healthy space that favors the construction of strategies to address the problems of daily life. The starting point was theoretical references that put in a constant dialogue between community psychology and social education knowledges in latin America. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper presents the transformations that the economic strategies of the Guaraní people of the province of Misiones have undergone in different historical periods. For this we start from the application of the anthropological perspective anchored in the ethnographic method. We will first make a descriptive presentation of three moments that we consider key to understanding the current inter-ethnic structure of the province of Misiones. Until such time as formal education appears as a new tool of society in general, with the potential to become a new strategy of ethnic resistance. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Man has been placed in the sphere of the human being as a unity of body and soul of which the integrality subject to time and space is predicated, differentiated from others by being endowed with conscience, freedom, temperament, and character, so that the latter can be molded through education, the desire for change and the repetition of an action. Objective: to examine governmental educational policies in the difficult task of being. Methods and materials: the type of research developed corresponds to documentary research, which supports the research study; a systematized tool was used that includes information from authors and their publications, relevant to this research. Results: secondary or university education acquired formally or informally has a specific purpose in each country and government. Therefore, it is necessary to focus and center the human being as an object and instrument in education. Discussion: to restate the central point of this paper, aimed at defining how to direct education in the post-agreement, and after taking being as a premise, rather than knowing and having. Conclusions: according to the analysis made, man is multidimensional, therefore, it is difficult to find an educational system that fully meets the expectations of this integral function; therefore, the educational model should be a tailor-made school, as defined by Edouard Clepèrede in his theory of functional pedagogy, in other words: tailor-made for the user. From the perspective of capitalism, it is considered that the knowledge acquired should not only be theory, but should alternate with practice. With regard to competencies, further work should be done on educational models. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The purpose of this paper has been to develop a valid and reliable tool to estimate the proportion of students who claim to use metacognitive strategies when solving math problems. A large group of reports was investigated that used questionnaires to research different aspects of metacognition and their analysis allowed us to create the CEMRPM questionnaire with 20 assessment items on the Likert scale, easy and agile to apply to detect students' perceptions about the use of metacognitive strategies. Statistical data analysis verified the validity and reliability of the said questionnaire. The construct was defined by establishing three dimensions: Planning, Regulation, and Evaluation; in line with the literature. Once the instrument was applied, it was verified that most of the students had used some metacognitive strategy in the process of Problem-Solving in math; In addition, it was evidenced that there is not a notable difference between the average assessment, the dimensions, and the correlation they keep up is direct, the strongest being identified between the Regulation-Planning and Regulation-Evaluation dimensions; in agreement with authors who support the construction of the questionnaire.

This paper presents the results of a study aimed at identifying good practices in different systems of Vocational Education and Training (VET) around the world and in some regions of Mexico, with the purpose of designing a new vocational model for the state of Guanajuato, integrating the educational and employability dimensions, and considering the new trends in vocational systems, that have evolved from an exclusive action of educational centers, towards a new conception that integrates strategic actions carried out collaboratively by educational, governmental, social and economic actors in the region. This is a research project where a documentary analysis methodology is applied, exploring different sources and references of vocation systems that have been implemented by different countries and in other states of the Mexican Republic, to make the proposal of a new vocation model, which is the theoretical-practical reference to coordinate the actions of different actors in the region, which facilitates adequate decision-making by Guanajuato students about the continuation of their educational preparation at the high school and college levels, in addition to the best option for employment. The resulting model integrates two major conceptual axes and four subcategories in each axis, so that it is the initial input for the design of state public policies, as well as the formation of strategies in the educational, social and economic sectors of the state of Guanajuato.

In the current cultural and technological context, disciplines and academic education face new challenges related to teaching and learning practices, due to the fact that technological mediations, advanced supports and archives have transformed these processes. In this paper we explore the alternatives that transmedia narratives offer for the Humanities, in particular, for Literature and Philosophy. We emphasize the need to incorporate other supports and other narratives in the work of these areas, including and taking advantage of technological mediations. Therefore, instead of having gaps between education and technology, we identify the challenges caused by the transformation of actors, roles and training processes, as well as the emergence of "informal" methodologies and platforms. To this end, we begin with the conceptual characterization of the technologically mediated environment that university education is increasingly facing. Secondly, we identified some contemporary literary practices and we make a historical account of some Latin American works that can be analyzed from the category of Transmedia Literature. Finally, will be problematized the written and visual registers that are transformed and conditioned by information flows on the Internet, television and other screens in electrically supported circuits. The discussion on technological mediations puts us in a problematizing context of the places and habitual uses of literary, philosophical and educational discourse. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article is the result of research conducted at the Technical Educational Institution Plinio Mendoza Neira in the municipality of Toca, Boyacá (Colombia). The paper shows how the research process was with seventh grade students about ancestral foods: potatoes, ulluco, turnip, oca, squash and beans. In this process, participatory action research methodology was used with local knowledgeable people to describe the foods consumed and cultivated since pre-Hispanic times. The text discusses the importance of relating academia, traditional knowledge and food as part of the motivational process of students in the development of commercial agriculture.

This paper constitutes a reflective article arising from the research project entitled Learning two figurative uses in early childhood. Challenges and implications for education, funded by the Pontificia Universidad Javeriana between 2015 and 2020. It analyzes the need for early childhood and primary school teachers to make a conscious and explicit use of metaphors and idioms in their classroom pedagogical practices, taking into account the linguistic particularities that characterize these expressions and their relevance for learning from early ages. Likewise, a proposal is offered that allows the incorporation of metaphors and idioms in the classrooms of these educational levels, in a gradual and increasing way, taking into account the pragmatic comprehension skills of the children.

In this paper, two different philosophical proposals to introduce and carry out philosophy in school spaces which include the participation of children are compared. These are: Philosophy for Children (P4C), mainly developed by Matthew Lipman and Ann Sharp, and Philosophy with Children (PwC), which is actually a set of "second generation" (counter)proposals--as described by Vansieleghem and Kennedy (2011), based on Reed and Johnson (1999)--among which those created by Walter Kohan and Karin Murris, to mention a few, stand out. The text begins with some similarities between both proposals, before comparing them in each of their dimensions. First, P4C is discussed. Second, PwC. Their ideas about education, school, philosophical education, their concept of childhood, the role given to teachers and their relation with politics are the main focus. Third, PwC's critique of the P4C program is studied. Finally, the paper concludes with some ideas on the issue of introducing philosophy in the school space. Particularly, PwC's proposal is supported, fundamentally because of its coherent acknowledgment of the autonomy of teachers and of the political element in education, and since philosophical experience with children is characterized in particular by questioning and critiquing, and, therefore offers the possibility of bringing about important transformations, at both the personal-individual and the collective levels.

This paper reflects on the concept of education as a crisis of animist thought and the essay as a manifestation of modernity from the volume of essays La sombrilla planetaria (The Planetary Umbrella) by Fernando Cruz Kronfly. Methodologically, the main essays of this author, in which the concept of crisis is stated, will be taken to later analyse the enlightenment and the rupture of thought that is presented through some essay and literary postulates. An approach to the formal emergence of philosophy in Colombia is generated, taking as reference the social, political and clerical context. The paper concludes with a reflection on the incidence of illustrated thought in the consolidation of an idea of modernity, and through the understanding of the work in human terms and with a perception of its multidimensionality.

In this paper, we analyse the processes of inclusion of people with disabilities in the labour market, focusing both on a pedagogical curricular analysis, and on the daily interaction between teachers and apprentices of a training course for people with intellectual and/or psychosocial disabilities. We argue that, thinking of the "ideal worker" models demanded by the labour market, the pedagogical efforts of these courses eventually "shape" these people to a standard considered "more acceptable". One of the effects of this action is on the blame of the individual for the success or failure of their experience, which leaves in the second place the need of adapting the companies to their specificities. Thus, we highlight the moralities and rationalities - related to the disability, social class and generation - that are implicit in these courses, and call the attention mainly to the need to incorporate a perspective focused on the social model of disability in the inclusion processes as a whole.

Memory, attention, active listening and teamwork are skills exercised at a high level in the performing arts. Dancers are able to remember choreographies, their movements, their positions and displacements in space, while listening to and following the music and the rest of the dance body. A musician memorizes or reads the score, previously studied, while executing it, meeting the technical and expressive requirements: being attentive to the rest of the orchestra members and the conductor. The actors express the meaning of a memorized text while interacting with the rest of the cast, the scenographic objects and the scenic space itself. The aim of this paper is, from the analysis of the learning and action strategies of different disciplines, to design a methodology of classroom application that allows the development of these skills.

The aim of this paper is to analyze the impact of food insecurity on the school performance of Brazilian students. Therefore, the empirical approach used to correct the selection bias was the Propensity Score Matching (PSM), based on the data from the National Household Sample Survey (PNAD) in 2013. The main results indicate that food insecurity has a statistically significant and positive impact on agegrade distortion (school performance proxy). The effect for any level of food insecurity is approximately 4%, however, it intensifies as the degree of food insecurity increases, being 11% in the case of students classified as having severe food insecurity. This study provides the first empirical evidence for Brazil that food insecurity is associated with the academic performance of Brazilian students, a fact that can compromise the country's social and economic development in the long run.

This article analyzes two popular libraries in the southwest province of Buenos Aires, Argentina--the Bernardino Rivadavia of Bahía Blanca Library, founded in 1882, and the Domingo F. Sarmiento de Tres Arroyos Library, inaugurated in 1899--and the creation of their respective children's sections in 1925 and 1928. This paper looks at the formation of these children's sections within the context of expanding public education and child readership in the province. By the end of the 1920s, a verifiable process of expansion and diversification of reading groups had unfolded that was both a product of, and, at the same time, an incentive for further library development and its related transformations. These institutions introduced modifications in order to respond to the growing demand and tried to play an active role in the configuration of a new readership, both by regulating behaviors and reading spaces as well as experience and tastes of the users.

The paper approaches the limits of technologies in education, from the discourses extracted f'om the mapping of theses of the Graduate Programs in Education, in the interval of 2012 to 2016. It is a hermeneutic research carried out through the search of keywords, in the Brazilian Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations (BDTD), aiming to understand the contributions and problems evidenced in theses on the subject. The challenges and questionings of technologies come to the scene in education as models to be followed, which weakens the experiences of pedagogical sense in the historical-formative interdependence and unveils the need for a critical-dialectical movement that takes into account the knowledge constructed in the school. The teacher, in this scenario of change, needs to be a provocateur of pedagogical reflection stolen by the successive development of technical idioms, as a starting point for the dialectical reconstruction of technologies in education.

This paper presents an analysis of face-to-face education practices that are taken to virtual mathematics courses with the reasoning of preserving high standards of academic quality. Qualitative research work with a phenomenological approach was carried out using semi-structured observation techniques and in-depth interviews. The population under study included students in the industrial engineering and systems and computing engineering programs under the virtual modality, from a university recognized for its quality and academic tradition, predominantly in the face-to-face modality. The analysis were carried out based on the following categories: interaction with the course contents, student's personal environments, preparation and development of evaluation activities, professor's guidance and collaboration. The findings showed that the interposition of face-to-face education pedagogical and curricular concepts to a virtual education model leads to inconsistencies and contradictions related to criteria and techniques of the evaluation processes, organization of learning activities, methods and forms of study, characteristics of the contents, forms of interaction between students and positions of teachers in their educational roles.

The main objective of this paper is to analyze the objectives of sustainable development (OSD) established in September 2015, in an agreement signed by 193 countries at the United Nations General Assembly, from the perspective of Critical Environmental Education. The specific objectives were: to present the concept of Environmental Education in the critical perspective; to know the objectives of sustainable development; to analyze the OSD in the perspective of Critical Environmental Education. The research question listed was: are there possible approaches to think of the achievement of OSD, through an Environmental Education in its critical aspect? In the present work we start from the assumption that Environmental Education in its critical aspect is defined in Brazil from a matrix that sees education as an element of social transformation, inspired by dialogue, in the exercise of citizenship, in the strengthening of subjects, in the overcoming capitalist forms of domination and understanding the world in its complexity. At the end, it is evident that Environmental Education, in its critical, emancipating and transforming aspect of reality, shows itself as a viable path for the pursuit of the sustainable development goals.

Centered on oral communication in the Academy, the paper sets a dialogue between two voices: on the one hand, the practises and concerns of the students of a workshop on communicational abilities offered in the National University of Cordoba in 2018; and, on the other hand, contributions from language sciences (Barthes, 2003; Todorov, 2008; Van Dijk, 1983) and philosophy (Foucault, 1996; Skliar, 2015). Which are the challenges on oral academic communication for those who teach and learn? How do students learn when teachers give their lessons and how do they take the word in order to say their knowledge? From those starting points and in a flexible essay, the papertext unfolds reflections on philosophical, psychological, and socio-anthropological concepts --social control, power and self-care - as well as representations of technical concepts --conceptual precision, the adjustment to the communication situation, the discipline lexical realm, and the macro-structure --in order to consider some social and didactic implications of oral communication in the university environment.

Although the existence of multi-ethnic and pluricultural societies is not new, the perspective of equality and recognition has remained on paper, without permeating citizen attitudes. Migrations and globalization have led to greater international awareness of interculturality, facing challenges at the educational and health care levels, generating regulations in relation to protection and respect for diversity. The emergence and development of the concept of interculturality in education allows us to reflect on its importance and the role it has been given in health and nursing training. It is evident that institutional efforts have been insufficient, as the coloniality of being and knowledge continues to prevail, since Anglo-Saxon and European positions are still assumed that are in tension with the Latin American context. Nursing is still on the way to forging interculturality, it is important to include the subject in the training of professionals, which contributes to the construction of selfcare. The proposal of this article is to approach the notion of interculturality from education and health, to re-think epistemologically another look at the training of professionals in nursing.

By way of notes, comments are made on the validity of some Hippocratic works from the perspective of the learning and practice of medicine in the first decades of the 21st century, amidst a expanding technical-scientific and computer civilization. The paper highlights the affirmation of perennial truths --valid at all times-- extracted from a selection of Hippocratic writings, which express the spirit of classic Greek medicine understood as tekhne iatrike. It was originally conceived as an activity of a rational, human, philanthropic and scientific nature aimed at serving the good of patients, following an ethos and some ethical principles and values of universal range, validity and application. It is proposed that taking in these concepts provides the medicine student with humanity, dignity, moral and intellectual growth, and improves their attitudes and aptitudes, skills and abilities to understand and face multiple existential situations that permeate daily clinical practice. This not only requires professional technical skills, but also humane attributes for better approaching interpersonal relationships with and attitudes towards the patient and their families. These ideas are introduced as a contribution of bioethics, characterized by its humanities-science-technology integration and educational mission of training critical consciences within the techno-scientific civilization, in order to foster respect for and openness towards diverse aspects of reality.

This paper shows a part of the reflections that have been made, based on authors of the modernity, in this specific case Thomas Hobbes, on the concept of education and the sense that this philosopher gives to it within his political theory. For this, in the first place, the state of nature will be established, because that initial condition of the man, exposed by Hobbes, has to be described and, in this sense, to analyze the function of education; then the idea of social pact as the foundation of the Civil State will be developed, and finally the function of education is explained, taking into account Hobbes's thought, the man in his state of nature and what the pact seeks to solve.

The Pedagogic Section of the Faculty of Juridical Sciences of the University of La Plata was at the beginning of the 20th century an important center of pedagogic and psychological research. The Archivos de pedagogía y ciencias aines (1906-1914) then called Archivos de ciencias de la educación (1914- 1920) were the publications that spread the studies realized in this space. In the present paper we reveal the feminine participations, we show the profiles of their authors and the characteristics of their works. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective: To analyze the researches conducted in Latin America on education for health during the last ten years, identifying the different conceptual developments proposed about this theme and the criticism made about it. Methods: This is a qualitative research describing the state of the art; forty articles from Brazil, Colombia, Cuba and Mexico, and retrieved from searches in Pubmed, Lilacs, Redalyc, Scielo, Ovid, Science Direct, Oxford Journals, and Dialnet were examined. Results: The education for health is a multifocal and polysemic field with different purposes and theoretical trends. It was found that most of the authors cared for assuming a stance regarding this field, though few of them undertake the task to conceptualize both education and health. Conclusion: Different visions about education for health were perceived; however, this work criticizes the poor articulation observed in the papers between theory and practice on this regard.

This paper contains a compilation of concepts related to citizenship and formation as citizens in Guillermo Hoyos Vásquez, which emerged from a revision of documents with his works between 1991 and 2013, in order to show elements to be considered within the Colombian education system. In the paper it can be seen how the different notions of citizenship in the educative establishment have conceptual implications concerning the citizenship formation criteria that do not favor participation and social transformation dynamics.

The purpose of this paper is to understand the emerging relationships between technology-mediated communication ecosystems and the meaningful learning processes of young men and women. It is a qualitative study based on the configuration of a hologrammatic path that made it possible to work with complex associations and organizations, both antagonistic and complementary, about young people's knowledge of their technological repertoires. Results show that the pedagogical reflections on communicative ecosystems require leaning towards the construction of knowledge through the teachers' practice, in coordination with the learning and communicative interactions of young men and women outside of school, as a dialogical point of reference about the expression and action networks occurring through new technological repertoires. In this sense, the need to articulate the school environment with what happens inside technology-mediated communication ecosystems was recognized, without intending to intervene or manipulate them, but rather use them to stimulate learning that opens new encounters, dialogues, communications and questions requiring a continuous reflection and transformation in the educational communities.

This paper describes the process of development and subsequent validation of a Digital Educational Resource, which is expected to allow students to use Algebra Tiles from a mobile device, in order to improve their knowledge of algebra concepts. The development of the project was conducted under the guidelines of instructional design and its validation was performed in the context of a pilot test in which teachers and students participated. From the results of this experience it can be inferred that the adoption of new mobile technologies in educational processes is relevant; therefore teachers and researchers should explore this type of resources to complement their lecture classes. The results achieved in the process of validation are promising and permit to envision that in the long term, the use of these educative resources will help students improve their mathematical knowledge.

Social advertising is an essential resource in the success of the goals and scopes of Well Living and, therefore, of the Sustainable Development Goals 2030. This paper analyzes its application, its meaning and how its efficacy could be achieved and confirmed. To this end, we present here cases in which education and entertainment, related to social communication, have achieved changes in attitudes and risk behaviors. In such cases, progress has been made in attaining development goals. Finally, we discuss the importance of having a theoretical and methodological basis that supports social campaigns and their products. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper studies the mathematics and language results of 32,000 students on the Saber 11 test for 2008 in the city of Bogota D.C. This analysis considers that individuals are contained in neighborhoods and schools, but not all individuals from the same neighborhood attend the same school and vice versa. With the purpose of creating a proper model for this data structure various econometric models were used, including a crossed random effect multilevel hierarchical regression. The central objective is to identify the extent to which neighborhood and schooling conditions are correlated with the educational results of the objective population and which neighborhood and school features are more strongly associated to this test's results. We used data from the Saber 11 test, the C-600 school census, the 2005 population census and the Bogota D.C. metropolitan police department. Our estimations show that both neighborhoods and schools correlate with this test's results; but the school seems to be a much stronger factor than the neighborhood. School features that have the strongest correlation with these test's results are the teacher's education, the school day's schedule, schooling expenses and the school's socioeconomic context. Neighborhoods features that are mostly associated with these test's results are the presence of university students within the upz, a cluster of higher educational levels as well as the crime rate within the neighborhood, which correlates negatively. Previous results were found taking in account family and personal controls. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, we propose to account how people in prostitution have been educated in the field of sexuality, both in family and in school. Institutions which produce, reproduce and maintain the social order established by the patriarchal culture, which is ruled by patters that define man and women's roles. Therefore, those who adopt different gender identities than acceptable are morally rejected; consequently, trans people have to resort to prostitution as the only possible activity performed by their gender. These reflections are part of a research on transsexuals in prostitution in Santiago del Estero, Argentina, which uses as its instrument collection data of life stories. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The middle income trap (mit) alludes to the challenges that middle income countries face in converging with developed nations, due to their inability to complete the productive transition from low value-added sectors (commodities and natural resourceand labor-intensive manufactured goods) to high value-added sectors (technologyintensive manufactured goods). The objective of this paper is to evaluate the causes behind the mit in which Ecuador has been entrenched for the past 60 years and the country's prospects for emerging from this trap, analyzing official development strategies and the conditions that the emerging literature about the mit (which connects with the theory of the developmentalist State and its problematic exportation to the Latin America region) has found are needed for countries that export just a few commodities to make strides forward in development.

This paper analyzes the influence of the use of ICT and the importance of teamwork for marketing subjects in business studies. The central theme of this paper is to identify whether the use of ICT in groups enhances the learning of the marketing discipline, as well as students' social skills. At the University of Granada, we conducted a questionnaire to 784 students over three academic years (2006-2009) with the aim of evaluating the influence of using the Markops Online simulator on the student's learning process. The results show how students perceive that the use of these tools, although requiring greater effort than conventional case studies, provides them greater satisfaction, increases their interest in the learning process and helps developing social skills.

The paper explores the perceptions of 300 teachers from the city of Cali concerning knowledge and practices for the support of the displaced population in a school context. The descriptive exploratory study involved documentary, research and the application and analysis of a qualitative survey (Jansen, 2012). Since 1995 regulatory frameworks and orientations to assist the displaced population have existed in Colombia; nonetheless, the study shows that these orientations still have not had sufficient coverage to impact what teachers need to know and do in that respect. From a political psychology perspective, this article supports the need of continuous teacher training to improve the attention given to displaced populations in the educational environment.

The social function has had multiple uses in private property law. Expropriation, easements or forfeiture are just some of the specific ways in which it becomes operational. We can infer, then, that more than a specific definition, it is a core idea that not having original content serves and has served as a tool for the realization of human values such as equality and solidarity. In copyright law there are readings and uses of social function that have not, however, met the specific forms of tangible ownership. Despite this, it has been implicit - and in some cases explicit - to the center of the modern critique of the institution. Through a critical approach, this paper presents the readings of the social function in copyright law and proposes, given the interpretative potential of this powerful idea, one possible reading.

This reflection article is framed within the humanism, bioethics and education relationship in the context of cyber culture. In this digital world, humanism and technology, science and humanism, are found again, and now subject and human nature are located in the center of the debate. From the questioning of the nature and status of humanism, the goal of this paper is aimed at elucidating about subjectivities in the technological era from the question about the kind of emerging social subject in the digital age with its technological mediations. Both, education and bioethics, are confronted with the challenge of setting humanism, its nature and identity, in expressions like cyborg, post organic man, numerical man, symbiotic man, cyberanthropos. Education and bioethics converge on the subject and its reconfiguration in the digital agora traces challenges and opens horizons in purpose training and care of human beings. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Aiming to achieve an adequate knowledge management many organizations focus on implementing digital platforms that allow information exchanges, but they leave the human component away. In this reflection paper a complementary vision is proposed, based on internal communication as the booster of group interactions, empowering and proper values within the organizational culture for achieving the levels required when knowledge is managed. The conclusions are concentrated on the potentialities of the communication strategy to strengthen the organizational culture and also strengthen the individuals-employees, making the exteriorization, sharing and generation of organizational knowledge.

An analysis of Max Weber's The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism reveals that the word "culture" is explicitly mentioned at least 43 times depending on the edition and translation. Culture is relevant as the foundation of the argumentative structure since it allows for the differentiation of human groups and their peculiar characteristics. From a cosmopolitan point of view, Weber's question is still pertinent given the advances of global thinking, its recent dissemination, and its acceptance within academic circles. With cosmopolitanism as its main guide, this paper analyses the use of the word "culture: in the book in order to inspire a debate on how to define a cosmopolitan ethos. While there is a persistent inquiry onto the applicable ethical-political mechanisms, the cosmopolitan literature converges towards education as an answer to the problem of culture in a globalized world.

This paper presents the "question" of evil in direct relation to modernity. The proposed theses hold that evil cannot be studied by searching for its origins, but by inscribing it within specific historical and cultural coordinates. In this case, the coordinates are located in the modern world and a Modernity that launched the promise of progress and in fact opened the door to anthropological correction, disguising it as a necessary gesture for re-founding humanity itself.

This paper focusses on the specificity of study the body. To perform this task we carried out four reflections to think how to investigate the object body: that it is an epistemic limit begin conceiving as essential or a material object that, therefore, strictly speaking we do not study bodies but practices which take the body as an study object, that implies necessarily interpreting and questioning the body as plural - in other words, not presuppose it as a holistic uniqueness or as a dualistic unity, or a union result of an integration of parts - and that investigate the body undertakes to think about the historical socio-cultural context in which that practice investigated develops, as well as those who carry it out -what we have called the framework body-subject-political-. Towards the end of this text, as appendix, we outline a set of guidelines about the specificity of analyzing the education of the body. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper aims to determine which family characteristics are correlated with access to post-compulsory education in Colombia. To do this, generalized ordered probit model is estimated using seven cohorts with data from the Household Integrated Survey (GEIH) for 2008-2012. The main econometric results show that characteristics such as parental education, employment status and socioeconomic status are correlated with the increase in the probability of choosing post-compulsory education in Colombia. Therefore, there are significant differences that show the existence of inequality in educational opportunities. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper analyzes the link between the concepts of employability, education, and social equality. A large portion of society has limitations when entering or remaining in the job market. This difficulty in being "employable", understood as the "ability to obtain or keep a job", stands out in groups of individuals which have greater economic disadvantages. These individuals are caught in an environment that hinders studying and acquiring employability competences. This perpetuates and deepens social inequality in time. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article presents a set of reflections on the current status and quality of higher education. It explores how, from the classroom, the teachers can contribute to this arduous task by assuming a more active and transforming role, which implies substantial changes both in their training and in their professional practice. In this paper, we analyze the individual character of training, which is originated from the social encounter in everyday life in order to recognize the conditions that make the subject an educable person and, finally, to go for a pedagogy that thinks about humans and the education, and not just about education. Furthermore, how the recognition of an educable subject in the educational act and the function of school in the urgent need to learn to live together are analyzed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The education has a basic paper in the development of the individuals and the societies, as not only transmissora of knowledge as half to reach an end, but as formadora of one human being that it answers to its yearnings of depth with direction. This study objective to investigate the notion of education, as teachings, but as not only also promotional of the human development in the Existencial Analysis de Viktor Frankl, in the vision of man who it transmits and to search to understand the relevance of the Existencial Analysis for the education. This work is based, a bibliographical publication revision and basic scientific texts. The Analysis Existencial de Frankl and its vision of man, who understands the human being as a antropológica unit, even so consider the different dimensions of ontológico type, are in offering an intellectual contribution that can better promote relations interpersonal, reumanização of the education and science in general.

This article analyzes the independent work that, in its educational dimension, has been investigated by several authors, making possible to define it in many ways; is traditionally identified with the activity performed by the student to learn independently within or outside the classroom with the teacher's guidance or not. This paper overcomes this notion and proposes a concept that clarifies the role of the teacher in charge of the direction of the student self-activity. With the theoretical and experiences systematization defending the student's active role in learning and developed concepts on independent study and work, we made a historical periodization. Finally, we propose a suitable concept to university context, that under an approach on process, allows a dynamic teaching and student-centered learning, greater flexibility in the training process and to break with educational traditionalism.

The author and her colleagues have been conducting philosophical experiences with children and teenagers in the city of El Bolson, Río Negro, Argentina, since 2007. During 2011 and 2012, we worked on different levels--with kindergarten students, in primary and secondary schools and in colleges--and also held regular meetings with all the teachers involved in the experience. A rigorous, in-depth analysis of these meetings allowed us to establish a common list of criteria, so as to arrive at a systematic way of evaluating the quality of our own work with children. The general criteria were: 1) What does the facilitating adult want to know, and how are her questions related to the child's? 2) What can we learn about the evolution of the child's thinking when he is faced with the "big questions" about human life and gives us his point of view? How do these responses differ according to age? These criteria allow us to study children's representations and their evolution over time. 3) What internal changes do children experience as a result of the experience of doing philosophy? This question relates directly to the discoveries children make about themselves during the philosophy workshops, and it evokes the fundamental question at the heart of our research: what is the use of these workshops? What aspects of child development do they serve, how do they influence the images that children are able to make of their own capacities and of their own culture? The specific criteria designed for each grade level and some of the results of our analysis are also discussed in this paper. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Drama as a literary art, beyond the aesthetic pleasure it can generate, can also be a tool in the educational process of people in all age groups. In this paper, we present fragments of an experiment in which a kind of drama, called Process Drama was used, during a semester, to help a class of year seven students at a rural school in the municipality of Tefé (Amazonas State) to develop a critical awareness of the reality surrounding them. Ultimately, the goal of the study was to introduce to those students critical thinking as an essential tool for the full exercise of citizenship. The study was based especially on Freirian critical pedagogy, but it also capitalized on other critical thinking works. For data collection, written tests and questionnaires with semi-opened questions were used. The seven categories of David Carraher's critical thinker were the parameter against which the data was analyzed. The results indicated a modest development of critical thinking of the students participating in the experiment as a result of their engagement (although in minute proportions) in reflections about issues that affect or could affect their communities.
