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.

The aim of this paper is to show those situations that teachers and students of the baccalaureate subsystems of the National Autonomous University of Mexico identified as problematic and whether this selection is related to aspects of belonging to the subsystem or to the profile of those who responded. The method used consisted of a survey applied to a sample of n=854 teachers and n=9,285 students. The data were analysed using descriptive statistics, in addition to a binary logistic regression analysis. The results show that in the case of the teachers, the subsystem is not predictive in relation to the problems they identified. While in the case of the students, the subsystem and gender are predictive variables in the choice of situations as problematic. These results are valuable because they help to understand how teachers and students at this level experienced the pandemic based on their profiles, which allows us to build proposals for attention in post-pandemic times.

This paper aims the meanings of cultural diversity, multiculturalism and interculturality, interconnecting them to the educational act. In this way, it is based on the premise that diversity is something inherent to the human being, exhibits the peculiar qualities of the inhabitants of certain geographical locations and the traits that make their culture unique. Within this universe, multiculturalism is defined as the recognition of the existence of diversity, of conditions of respect and tolerance to coexist within society, but maintaining a hegemonic logos that conditions social practices, adapting to global interests that pose the diversity and inclusion, masking the Western hegemonic status. From this, the urgency of entering intercultural issues, in dialogue between cultures, is assumed, but the paradigmatic approaches of Bilingual Intercultural Education have failed to transcend the limitations of multiculturalism. Interculturality, therefore, has to be connected to decolonizing proposals, to the transformation of reality, acquiring a genuine meaning in another pedagogical praxis, as another epistemic and political project, with the possibility of creating different imaginaries, where permanent processes take place. of changes, development and space for the integration of alternative identities.

Educators are one of the occupational groups most at risk of work stress and professional burnout. Therefore, the objective of this paper is to review studies on the triggers and facilitators of burnout syndrome in teachers. Method: an exploratory systematic review was conducted including material in English and Spanish, published between 1992 and 2022. More precisely, 27 empirical works that analyzed triggers of burnout syndrome in teachers were selected. In addition, 5 articles and books that addressed aspects related to the facilitators of the syndrome were included. Then the triggers for professional burnout were systematized and classified according to Peiró's taxonomy (40). Finally, the facilitators were grouped into three specific categories. Results: the burnout triggers were: work environment, work overload, role conflict and role ambiguity, interpersonal relationships, professional career development, use of communication and information technologies and organisational structure. The facilitators reported were: socio-demographic characteristics, personality characteristics and coping style. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Following a discursive-pragmatic approach to linguistic variation, the goal of this paper is to analyse the lexical variation maestro-profesor in a sample of official documents of primary state schools and privately-owned but state-funded ones in the autonomous community of Castile-La Mancha (Spain). The analysis reveals that the lexical alternative profesor, significantly more common in the corpus than maestro, can be considered a case of uplifting euphemism intended to upgrade and magnify the professional status and social appreciation of teachers in infant and primary education. In this way, profesor plays an important role as a face-saving device which is part of a more general strategy of positive self-presentation for schoolteachers that may introduce some degree of ambiguity in the message conveyed.

In this paper, an analysis is presented regarding the implications that Covid-19 has had for senior citizens and of the prevention measures taken to avoid its spread and further contagion. The pedagogy concept of old age is proposed as a legitimizing narrative that this economic system uses and that is embodied in the structural violence suffered by senior citizens. It underscores the absence of anthropology in the study of aging and old age, pointing out the resulting gaps that this entails regarding the understanding of the social, cultural and symbolic effects that aging represents. It also highlights how the measures taken against Covid have resulted in a high mortality rate among this sector of the population, thereby promoting significant setbacks in their rights through ageist practices legitimized by the said pedagogy of old age. Furthermore, it indicates how old age has become precarious in Mexico, thus placing the elderly as the most vulnerable sector when faced with this pandemic. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Questions about language and its teaching occupy a special place in the pedagogical press, since this was a central aspect in school and in teacher training by legal mandate (Ezpeleta Aguilar, 2015: 159). Specifically, in the case of grammar, the periodical pages host both theoretical articles on the language, as well as didactic works with an eminently practical approach, debates on specific grammatical aspects, reviews of grammatical works, etc. All this makes the educational press a material of great relevance to know in depth the development of grammatical ideas. In this paper, we approach the linguistic ideas present in one of the lasting periodical publications of the specialized press, the newspaper El Magisterio Español (founded in 1867), during its first decades of existence and, especially, in the period 1871-1880 dominated by the presence of Fernando Gómez de Salazar.

This paper has the objective of presenting a series of reflections on some of the conditions that make school experience possible, conceiving school as a matter of public interest that mediates the relationship between new generations and the world, and that is the product of centuries of cultural experiences. With this aim, it reviews three relevant texts: The Crisis in Education, by Hannah Arendt; Pedagogy: The Duty of Resisting, by Philippe Meirieu, and In Defence of the School. A Public Issue, by Maarten Simons y Jan Masschelein. The health emergency from the pandemics related to Covid-19 is an appropriate time to rethink some basic questions on what gives sense to this institution we call School. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The construction of knowledge in the social sciences has generated a series of discussions about the method and how it allows for the reliable interpretation, analysis and understanding of the phenomena studied. Didactics, as a social science, has not been alien to such reflection; therefore, it has initiated a search for methods that allow researchers to construct scientific knowledge that accounts for the meanings and significance of the discourses that surround the classroom, the same ones that evidence the teaching and learning processes. This paper presents an analytical study in which narrative is proposed as a method to epistemologically support the knowledge that is built in didactic research, achieved in qualitative research, and also as a means to express the knowledge built.

The present work is part of a post PhD research which main purpose was to analyze: what types of relationships are stablished in the process of inclusion of students with disabilities? The objective of this paper was "To characterize the relationships that have been built from the experience of educational inclusion of students with disabilities from the teachers' perspective", approached from the relational aspect in the experience of 41 teachers who have attended students with any disability during their teaching practice. The methodology was qualitative, the tool used was a questionnaire composed by seven open questions, the answers were analyzed, using some elements of coding and categorization proposed by the Grounded Theory. The results are about that relationships can be thought of from three characteristics: relationships whit an interest sustained by a technical sense, relationships based on an interest with a practical sense and relationships sustained with an interest with a transforming sense.

The article derives from an ongoing research work aimed at studying formative experiences that take place in primary schools in Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires. In this context, the paper analyzes the characteristics of the educational proposal for one specific subject of the first tier, as it is delineated by the official curriculum. Through an analytical reading of the document that focuses on its discursive features, it is argued that the curriculum would configure a paradoxical experience of detachment as a formative plan for the students. It is shown how the official pedagogic discourse articulates an instructional and expressive order that simultaneously would pursue the reconstruction of ideas and the production of predominantly rational agents. The transmission of a code aspiring to a detached relation between the agents and the world as a particular relationship with knowledge is thought to be fundamental in that discourse. The analysis shares broader reflections that invite to rethink the ways in which curriculum policies contribute to configure meanings and conditions for school experiences at the primary level.

This paper analyzes the comments that were published (Olivares Campiño, 2014) in response to a previous article of mine on the teaching of chemical formulation in the secondary school classroom (Fernández González, 2013). It highlights the disparity between the science teaching approach in my article and the discipline-oriented approach in the comments responding to my article. The author of the response interprets the differences between the two approaches as errors when these differences actually stem from a process of didactic transposition that adapts expert knowledge to the needs of secondary school students. This paper defends the coherence of my proposal for the teaching of chemical formulation, which is based on the historical atomic model and the concept of valence. This proposal is thus a science classroom model, which can change and evolve as the student reaches higher academic levels. Without a single reference to PCK, the response to my article mainly focuses on aspects related to norms and standards as well as to the discipline itself. This paper satisfactorily addresses these criticisms and underlines that formulation is a means of learning Chemistry and should not be conceived as an end in itself. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper seeks to advance the discussion installed about on the limited impact of educational research in real practice of teachers. To do was performed a review of the main causes of the so-called "crisis" of educational research, analyzing the main elements that hinder the relationship with teachers and that keeps us away of the contributions of scientific studies. Among these causes there are without number elements involved, ranging from conflict of interests between politics and educational research to distrust of research articles. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper discusses the teaching practices and beliefs of university teachers in the city of Temuco in Chile. To that effect, twelve university teachers working with fourth and fifth-level students in a health degree were asked open-ended questions. Data analysis followed the principles of grounded theory (GT) methodology. Open coding was used for the analysis, which produced the category 'Teaching practices and beliefs' and four sub-categories: 1) educational planning, 2) teaching methodology, 3) an epistemological model of teaching, and 4) the micro-curriculum. The results of the study show that, as part of their teaching beliefs, teachers place value on practices that make it easier for students to participate and be active in class, but which are also inflexible and restricted by aspects such as planning and previously established programs. Consequently, they need to examine the basis of their beliefs and pedagogical knowledge more thoroughly to inject new meaning into their work in the classroom, thus improving education at this level.

This paper reflects on the relation between discourse, knowledge and institutions, in the context of the teachings of the French philosopher Michel Foucault. The question about discourse leads Foucault to inquire about the relation between knowledge and power. The imbrication of knowledge and power that his analysis uncovers sets in motion a powerful and multiple production technology that extends with positive effects to all society and institutions. An example of this is the institution of school and in its particular rediscovery of disciplines. We briefly review the writings of humanists of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries as examples of the positive effects of the idea of educating men and women in intellectual tasks through the study of school disciplines, indispensable to achieve critical thought, the core of the positive and productive effect of school learning.

Corrientes Pedagógicas Contemporáneas course is offered in the Foreign Languages program, School of Languages at University of Antioquia. This paper provides a didactic proposal for this course that constructed four activities from which the theoretical content of educational approaches was analyzed together with an additional research activity involving a qualitative strategy named documentary research. The students participating in the class project, 37 in total, provided additional information through a survey. The method of critical discourse analysis (Van Dijk, 2003) was applied to this survey showing the contributions obtained as a result of the didactic proposal development, with regard to the learning of content on educational approaches and professional training as teachers in a projective way. The results were classified into the following thematic lines: Assessing of educational knowledge, Encouraging of critical educational thinking, Getting new significance of their future teaching role, Assessing of the didactic proposal, Awareness of the limits in their educational knowledge, and integration of cognition with affection, one of the findings was the appreciation of teachers union by the students.

The purpose of this paper is to address an issue that has not yet been the subject of significant study: religious education in teacher training, in light of the 1979 Agreement on Education and Cultural Affairs. The wording of Article IV of the Agreement on Education and Cultural Affairs seems clear and the courts have endorsed a literal interpretation of the text. However, there are also interpretive criteria and resources that render this view less apparent: the authoritative interpretation made by government bodies; the relative weight of the subject in teacher training programs; and the academic practice of public universities in Spain. An overall assessment of the criteria discloses that implantation in practice may be poor because it fails to respect the object and ends of the Agreement as such. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Historically, the bodies responsible for designing the curricula in our country have included the English discipline in them and have conceived graduate profiles covering elements that require knowing this language. They have invested in the training of teachers, the reproduction of materials, methods designed abroad by native English-speaking specialists, and some sound reproduction equipment in line with the economic resources of the country. More recently, various Cuban authors specialized in English language have been asked to design the basic materials used to teach the courses in the program. The efforts made over the years have yielded some results, although they could be qualitatively superior. This paper presents a reflection on some elements that still hamper the achievement of better results. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper I argue that the future of psychological research on educational processes would benefit from an interdisciplinary approach that enables psychologists to locate their objects of study within the cultural, social, and historical contexts of their research. An examination of anthropological accounts of the characteristics of education in small, face-to-face, pre-industrial societies raises the question of why major challenges have confronted contemporary psycho-educational research that seeks to implement major, qualitative changes in modern educational practices by transforming them to have the properties of education in those same face-to-face societies. The paper concludes with a description of a multi-institutional, multi-disciplinary system of education that responds to these challenges while offering a model for educating psychology students in a multi-generational system of activities with potential widespread benefits.

In this paper, a number of ideas related to distance education and its role in teaching and learning are considered. Although these considerations have been made principally with highly able students in mind, our aim has been to generalize the possibilities of curriculum diversification and flexibility for all students be they highly able or not. It is true that the most capable students have special characteristics regarding the way they learn, which are obvious. No less obvious is that if we heed the principals which govern the teaching-learning process, all students should benefit from learning at their own pace, frequent evaluation, prescriptive teaching, etc. These are all characteristics of good teaching. Perhaps, for this reason, it would be fair to state that when teaching highly able students is taken seriously, the whole school benefits. The paper ends with some specific considerations on the distance education model which is followed by CTY Spain, a charter member of the Johns Hopkins Center for Talented Youth International, a center which is highly recognized throughout the world for the instruction of highly able students everywhere.

This paper studies the theoretical assumptions of constructivism in order to understand it from the perspectives of epistemology and pedagogy. In the first section, three relevant constructivist positions (radical, Piaget's, and social constructivism) are describe as a necessary condition to explore the possibility of advancing in the characterization of a constructivist epistemology and to be able to show the epistemological difficulties entailed. The second section, constructivism as a pedagogic theory, examines the constructivist pedagogy to show its contribution to teaching. In addition, some pedagogy objections requiring clarification regarding the theme are mentioned. Finally, by establishing a connection from the epistemological and pedagogical perspectives of constructivism, it is suggested that constructivism is not a theory of teaching but rather a u of raisins epistemological problems and trying to solve them. It is not the intention this paper to fall into simplifications which are typical of constructivism but to high light some of its positive aspects such as underlining the importance of a positive attitude in learning.

This paper is part of one of the extension projects carried out by the Chair of Clinical Psychopedagogy, University of Comahue together with some professionals from the Technical Team of Pedagogic Support (Rio Negro's Board of Education) with the aim of focusing on that part of the students' population, which was not receiving support from these teams and was labeled "'With Special Educational Needs'. Upon revision of the current legislation and after completion of the first interventions carried out (interviews to principals and teachers and class observations) we became aware of the need to focus on the particularities of teaching those students that show learning difficulties and do not receive attention from specialized teachers. What is the place that these students are offered? This paper introduces some considerations in relation to key points regarding teaching children with learning difficulties. The role of teachers and children, and the need to consider diversity issues, among other variables, are explored. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Economic actions against Cuba since the 90's have had a negative impact on laboratory practicals in the Basic Sciences, leading to changes in the curriculum. This paper reviews the feasibility of rescuing and improving such activities related to the Physiology content inserted in the discipline of Morphophysiology. The objective was to identify the Physiology content to be taught in the practicals and define the means and innovations necessary to complete them. The practicals that can be carried out with the available means are presented and characterized. It is concluded that the exercises and topics covered in the practicals coincide with the Physiology content corresponding to Morphophysiology I, III, V and VI and that they can be carried out with the existing resources as well as other innovated by the authors. This way of proceeding saves resources by replacing media or reagents and leads to more effective learning, plus better preparation of teachers to meet the challenges posed by the curriculum D.

In this paper we are interested, in a general way, on statistics interpretations. For that, we focused our attention on a key concept in inferencial statistic: probability notion and its two intepretations: bayesian and frequentist. More preciselly, our subject for this study was to analyse the presence of these two interpretations on french textbooks used in 2007 year. For that, we build a set of dichotomical variables that we treat with Implicatif Statistics Analyse. The rules of parcial implications obtained allow us to identifie tendencies of presence of these two interpretations on problems and exercices of textbooks analyzed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Foreign students that do not speak Spanish in the faculty of architecture in Cuba receive Spanish classes for the first two years of their career. An essential content is to analyze different types of texts, specifically descriptive ones. The purpose of this paper is to present a teaching experience about the instruction of content description. The experience is centred on how the content related to the profession. The novel "Cecilia Valdés" from Cirilo Villaverde was chosen because it is an extraordinary picture of the XIX century and where students can learn the characteristics of social life in Cuba during that period. Students were greatly motivated by the experience and developed professional skills which are very important to future architects. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The interest of this paper is based on presenting the importance of educational instruction today, in general and in particular the accounting career. This, it should be noted, is part of the development trends of cognitive skills, instrumental skills and values that a person must acquire during the education period at a higher educational institution, which will allow the graduate to be competent to begin the professional practice. The complexity that is involved in the public accountant career in both their education based on international standards like the attributes to be displayed in the quality of performance, has forced higher education experts to guide new ways of undertaking the education strategy. This is accomplished through the adoption of models consistent with the demands of society and the employment market. Of these, competencies education is one of the models that best contribute to the learning process, allowing at the potential accounting professional to develop skills, abilities and attitudes needed to join into the labor market successfully.

Similarly, should be based on participatory action committed by students and teachers, and the respect for human values. Within this scheme, it must prioritize the humanistic education of the person in their professional projection. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper derives from a research project based on the UNMDP FAUD, Argentina, in the context of the problems of teaching and learning in the disciplines of design. Focused on the study of historiography in the careers of architecture and industrial design, we approach an interpretive area, meaning that it generates important information about teaching as projective disciplines. In this sense, our academic unit adopts a particular format comparative with other faculties, because the courses of history are the same for careers in architecture and industrial design since 1995. We present here then, some progress within research project as part of the survey and analysis of the work plans of the area, from the methodological premise that displays these documents as a source of information on epistemological and teaching around the historical discipline training - in terms of project planning, in both careers.

The teacher training for effective implementation of teaching of the nature of science (NOS) is a key issue in the current science education. In this paper, we expose the main components of Pedagogical Content Knowledge (PCK) for NOS, as knowledge base that a professor of science has to get in their professional development. We propose an integrative PCK-NOS model, several contexts to display the NOS in the classroom, and the use of an explicit & reflective approach. The science teachers training must pay attention to the pointed aspects, and the science education should investigate them. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper presents the findings of a research study of professors' profiles for the European Higher Education Area (EHEA) conducted in five spanish universities. Through the application of qualitative methods of inquiry, the perceptions of several groups of university professors over the principal teaching qualifications necessary for the coordination of higher education throughout the European Union have been obtained. Data analysis indicates a significant discrepancy between actual Spanish professors and those required by EHEA. It has also made possible the detailed description of teaching competency profiles that professors believe to be fundamental for the new functions demanded of them in the present changing social and educational situation.

This article examines a module on interviewing in social sciences at the Doctoral programme in Social Sciences of the University of Buenos Aires (Argentina). It argues that teaching this research technique demands the use of a variety of pedagogic devices or interview practice (Kvale 2006). They facilitate the acquisition of the crafty, professional and creative aspects of qualitative research. Firstly, this paper examines the nature of the role of the qualitative researcher that underpinned the selection of contents and the pedagogic organisation of the module. It argues that the job of qualitative researchers should be understood as a profession with crafty and creative dimensions. Secondly, this article depicts the module, its population and two types of interview practice: individual exercises and discussion guides. These pedagogic devices are examined. Evidence of their contribution to the practical acquisition of a research habitus is presented. This habitus instills reflexive, professional, ethical and creative attitudes and dispositions in doctoral students, crucial for their professional development. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Decades ago, Daniel Jones stated that it is practically impossible to formulate generalizations regarding primary stress placement in English. In spite of its pessimistic nature, this view has been widely accepted. in this paper, we aim to review different theoretical approaches put forward to predict and provide an explanation to English stress behaviour. We shall focus on those specific aspects that may prove useful for the teaching of English as a foreign language. This overview comprises structuralist phonology, generative phonology in its different formulations, metrical and rhythmic theory and, finally, Optimality Theory. These provide support in favour of the claim that stating generalizations concerning English stress is more plausible than Jones suggested.. We conclude that while it is sensible to say that English primary stress is predictable in a majority of word, it is necessary to acknowledge that no approach can account for the stress patterning of all English words.

This paper aims at analyzing some philosophical assumptions concerning the clinical-psycho pedagogy issues and its research methodologies. Firstly, the philosophical assumptions taken as the grounds of some research traditions in the psychological phenomena field are studied. These traditions have assumed different ontological dualism (subject-object; affection-reason; body-psyche; etc.), and the epistemological reductionism views (innatism or contextualism); and their methodological approaches have varied from the non-theoretical descriptivism of the empirical guidelines to the structural formalist theoricism. On the other hand, from the symbolic production on the psychoanalytic view the complete splitting impossibility either between the body and the soul or between the drives within the ego is posed. Therefore, a fluctuating and unsteady border is conceived. From the ontological view, the thinking work is in the double bordered intersection: between the inside and the outside, and between the separate pieces dividing the inside. It is concluded that the philosophical splitting has dominated the learning research traditions and there is a need to keep a research practice tending to overcome the dualist assumptions.

The connection between form and content is case-sensitively defined in the teaching process. Contents have been subject to thorough theoretical approaches. Methodology, on the contrary, lacks such research advances. This turns evident in the variety and imprecision in the use of theoretical terms.

This article is focused on the analysis of the historical narrative taught to students during the last dictatorial government in Uruguay, through the official textbooks of National History for Primary School, between 1980-1984. Assuming that during the dictatorial period—within the framework of its foundational project—it was made a political use of the past, this paper explores the characteristics of such use and its relationship with the main features of the regime, through the study of five thematic units, related to different periods or issues of Uruguayan history. The pro-government speech on the past taught in classrooms shows then a combination of traditional historiographical trends with conceptual innovations based on the principles of the National Security Doctrine, a combination of little scientific rigour which clearly aimed at legitimating the regime and laying its foundations.

Based on the results obtained in didactic research on the process of scientific model constructions in the classroom, this paper examines the consequences of this process regarding the interactions that the didactics of modelling would generate, given the change introduced by modelling as an emerging intentionality in scientific education. Regarding the construction of models in the classroom, it is specified that the corresponding didactic work is focused on the ones agreed upon by the respective community of specialists.

This paper intends to analyze some of the present difficulties in achieving those directions of pedagogical intervention favoured by educational policies which contribute to consolidate agreements on what is deserved to be taught as well as the model of society to which school must contribute in educational institutions. A mechanism of pedagogical intervention, institution organization and it's bound with the community in the last 10 years favoured by the Government is taken as reference, "Work with School Projects" Even though we recognize that this intervention mechanism has had, through history, different modalities, we intend to understand characteristics and aspects that give identity to it, in present times, from a reflection on about its pedagogical meaning in schools. With this purpose, some classic categories are used; though not taking us into philosophical matter, they are, no doubt about it, the main subject to re locate discussion about teaching in present times.

This paper shows how inexperienced teachers imagine and feel about professional practice, and how they develop their professional identity. The concept of identity allows considering the beginner teacher as the agent of a specific practice, a social practice. This analysis is based on the field work of IFIPRACD (Initial Training and Teachers' Practices Research), project framed by "Educational practices: initial training and teachers' identity building", a research located in Social Sciences Faculty (Facultad de Ciencias Sociales- FACSO), Centro de la Provincia de Buenos Aires University.

This paper Intends to shed light on the relevance of teachers' self evaluation to those scenarios in which they experience conflicts and tensions among different types of demands posed on them and, thus, they it difficult to make decisions, solve problems and negotiate institutional, social, academic and subjective interests. In addition, some of the problems and practical actions that have emerged as meaningful in our research project's field work will be presented. Our research interest focuses on Self-Evaluation Processes in High School Teacher's Practice". This work is carried out in Facultad de Ciencias de la Educación, at Universidad Nacional del Comahue. Our general objective is to study the learning potential of self-evaluation in the construction of the teaching craft. Our specific aim is to identify those teaching practices that teachers resort to in the self-evaluation process. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The paper establishes a relation between the philosophy didactics and the philosophy of education, trying to prove that there is, in fact, many authors believe, a relation between both. Not because philosophy implies always, like some authors think, a certain kind of teaching, but only when teaching learning of philosophy corresponds to the nature of philosophy and to its specific demands. Wich means that a philosophy didactics, that corresponds to the nature of philosophy, presupposes a philosophy of education in wich the education is not philosophic at all. In that case, and only in that case, there is a philosophy of education on is most noble aspect, the one that philosophy demands and presuppose but rarely honours. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper approaches the most outstanding aspects in a didactic model on the dynamics of the Educational Learning Process in the Superior Education, sustained in the Information and the Communications Technologies (TIC). In the model that is presented, the definition of configurations, dimensions, links and regularities, constitute theoretical aspects that allow to reveal the essence of this dynamics with the employment of these technologies, those that constitute tools mediators in the multiple relationships that in this they take place. With the presented model it puts on in evidence that the use of the Information and the Communications Technologies in the Educational Learning Process facilitate a different dynamics, characterized by a bigger participation of the students in their learning, also facilitating that new fellows can participate in this process collaborating with the same one, helping to their continuous improvement.
