In the current scenario ruled by governance, the digital transformation of education is woven through the participation of multiple actors. Recent academic literature deals with the study of state, regional or private policies. However, municipal policies are also an element of great interest for illustrating micro-political processes, making it possible to develop situated work. Based on this premise, this paper studies the case of a municipality in the province of València that for the last decade has been implementing an initiative to provide digital devices to 5th grade students in its four schools. Using a qualitative approach, a field study is carried out by means of interviews with teachers and classroom observations, in which this initiative is investigated, delving into the difficulties and challenges it entails. The main results show that local councils are key bodies in promoting the digitalisation of schools, and that municipal policies reflect the trends in the transformation of education that govern the macro-political level. In conclusion, it can be seen that the municipal context is driving changes in classroom work, posing important challenges for teachers. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The purpose of the work was to review the Latin American literature on Pedagogy and Didactics of accounting sciences. The methodology consisted of The search for the works was carried out electronically, with the use of the Google Academic, Redalyc, Latindex, Dialnet and Tesis en Red application databases. The scoring criteria included relevance, methodological quality of the proposal of research, the experience and position of the authors/holders, the originality, as well as the relevance and scientific rigor. As results, a total of 30 papers were selected. There is a predominance of publications in the Didactic category, with little contribution in Pedagogy. It was found that the articles address theoretical aspects (of national and international interest) related to the teachinglearning process, by questioning the concepts of education, teacher/student relationship, environment, empathy and motivation, among others. In conclusion, future research can contribute to improving pedagogy and didactics in accounting sciences with projects aimed at multiculturalism in businessrelated subjects at the university level, with the development of technological resources capable of being used in the classroom for the individualized or group learning on or off campus, therefore, support materials for class tasks that involve meeting the needs of students are important so that each student has their individual development plan.

One of the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals is to ensure inclusive and equitable quality education that promotes lifelong learning opportunities for all citizens. In this context, promoting communicative competence is crucial. It enables individuals not only to understand oral and written texts in the school environment but also to function effectively in society and in interpersonal relationships. Improving the communicative ability of students is particularly important in contexts of social exclusion, where it is crucial to provide comprehensive education based on principles of quality and equity. This paper examines the adherence of Secondary Education teachers to principles and practices related to classroom methodology in environments where there is a risk of social exclusion, with special attention to the development of communication skills. To conduct the study, 407 teachers completed a 60-question questionnaire. The results provide insight into the participating teachers' perceptions of communication skills in contexts of exclusion. These findings have implications for the organizational model of schools and the training of teachers, both pre-service and in-service. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The purpose of this research is to analyze the acquisition of teachers' digital competencies through the use of virtual environments and information and communication technologies to improve the teaching-learning process. A systematic review was conducted through the search and compilation of empirical studies over five years (2019 to 2023), in the specialized databases: Scopus, Redalyc, SciELO, and the academic search engine Google Scholar. Based on the PRISMA statement, and through inclusion and exclusion criteria, a total of fourteen research papers were selected. After examining them, it was possible to identify how digital literacy through the use of virtual learning environments influences the development of teaching work and performance and consequently also contributes to student learning. Among the digital skills most used by teachers that have allowed innovation and improvement of the teaching process are mainly the management of information and mastery of digital tools for the creation and management of educational resources.

This article presents a four-year longitudinal study analysing what teachers who participate in a non-formal scientific activity think they will learn during the activity. Unlike previous studies, this paper is focused on a long-term activity. The answers given by the teachers to an open-ended question were subjected to an interpretative-descriptive analysis which allowed the emergence of five main categories of response and five teacher profiles. These categories and profiles allowed the characterization and interpretation of teachers' responses. It is concluded that the teachers perceive the activity as a multidisciplinary training opportunity with which to expand and diversify their formation and, especially, to acquire new teaching learning strategies that can be transferred to their classrooms.

This paper deals with the first study on the construct validity of the GRS 2 Rating Scale for Teachers in Spain, on a sample of 348 subjects. A confirmatory factorial study, CFA, was carried out using robust least squares estimation procedures (WLSMV). A sixfactor structure has been selected that explains 66% of the variance. The fit indices of the model are satisfactory (CFI, .93; TLI, .93). Convergent validity (AVE, .66) and composite reliability (between .87 and .96) are adequate. This scale is the first validated in Spain and provides a relevant measure for the identification of high ability students. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Culture of peace and education work together to shape individual with knowledge, attitudes and behaviors focused on harmony, tolerance, respect, inclusion, and peace. This paper presents a systematic review whose purpose was to identify the lines of study of the culture of peace in secondary education globally during the last decade (2012-2022). The study was based on the PRISMA methodology; 367 articles were collected from the databases of ERIC, Education Source, Academic Search Ultimate, Web of Science and Redalyc. Based on inclusion and exclusion criteria, 27 articles were analyzed. The results obtained reflect that most of the articles focus on the of the peace component in the school curriculum, although scientific production focused on identifying the effects of culture of peace programs was also identified. It is concluded, the study of this topic provides a deeper understanding of how education contributes to the development of citizens committed to peace. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The LOMLOE curricular reform emphasizes competency-based education through learning situations that foster students’ citizenship training. This paper analyses the opportunities offered by STE(A)M projects, designed within the framework of a teaching innovation program with university-school collaborative intervention. Promoting teacher updating, a training program was planned to offer didactic guidelines for creating learning situations using contextualization and inquiry-based science as didactic strategies. The environmental problems of a nearby context were selected to involve students in decision-making and citizen actions for sustainability, trying to develop their key competencies and critical thinking skills. We analysed the intervention with validated instruments, assessing the dimensions of critical thinking, the components of the STE(A)M treatment and the inquiry-based science capacities that can be involved in the knowledge and competencies of the students, establishing strengths and weaknesses and providing improvements for future learning situations.

Teachers, in their teaching practice, link the use of ICT with their pedagogical beliefs, although this connection needs further study. For this reason, the aim of this paper is to determine the structural relationship between the use of ICT and the pedagogical beliefs of teachers, since both constructs contribute to ICT integration. A quantitative research design of correlational type and a sample of 1002 teachers of Primary Education and Secondary Education were used. The results show the positive relationship of the use of technological resources with the constructivist conception, while in the traditional conception the results are reversed. Similarly, they point to the existence of three groups. Therefore, teacher training in the constructivist conception is necessary. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Educational mobile applications have gained strength in the teaching and learning processes, for this reason, the objective of this paper is to demonstrate how these mobile applications can be considered a great tool in teaching using steam methodology. The paper has a descriptive character, considering the way in which the different forms of learning are supported by mobile devices and are becoming new teaching models. The topics addressed, the services received, the content exposed, among others, are analyzed. The results show a positive impact after the use of the applications on the performance, motivation, attitude and interest in learning of the students in the topics developed, as well as the satisfaction of the teachers for the support of the mobile applications in their work, and how the applications allow reinforcing the knowledge acquired without the presence of the teacher.

In Mexico's educational institutions there is a persistent failure to comply with the rules established for the exercise of their primary educational tasks, promoted by the main figures who hold greater responsibility for students (directors/teachers and parents). Based on the above, the research entitled - Power and ideology: Control through educational institutions) was carried out in 2018. The case of Tlaxcala. In the fieldwork, both public and private institutions of the basic education levels (preschool, primary, secondary) upper middle, and higher education were addressed. In this way, this paper aims to expose the main results obtained at the higher education level. For the methodological procedure, the qualitative approach was used, taking as an analytical method the fundamental approaches of the Critical Discourse Studies (ECD). The main results are presented through discursive categories of associative-conflictive, causality, single and mixed opinions, related to compliance with the terms of article 3 of the Constitution, the application of the educational reform, curricula and programs and teacher updating; All this within the framework of the educational reform of 2012. The conclusions allowed to identify the way in which power is produced and reproduced through the ideology implanted in the norms that govern the educational institutions addressed, providing an empirical reference of reality and the discourse that identifies it.

Collaboration among peers is recognized as a practice that strengthens teacher training. Hence it is necessary to move towards systematic collaboration that addresses issues around the practice of teaching, and that makes the work done in the classroom more open, in order to develop a professional learning community. This paper uses a mixed study of multiple cases to analyse the possibilities for establishing educational collaboration among working teachers. The cases come from three schools in Chile: teachers were asked to complete a questionnaire (PLCA-R) and two discussion groups with teachers and administrative staff were held. The findings indicate that these cases offer limited opportunities for classroom observation, feedback or peer mentoring practices. However, the study found a positive view of informal dialogue between teachers for sharing ideas aimed at improving student learning. It concludes that collaboration requires sufficient distribution of material resources and methodological resources to encourage cooperation between peers, as well as a strengthening of leadership that encourages the development of workplace training.

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.

We present an experience implemented in a two-year-old classroom at the "El Castell" kindergarten in La Pobla Llarga (Valencia). Taking the new Spanish curricular regulations of Early Childhood Education, specifically those aspects related to the teaching and learning of science, a learning situation has been designed using diapers as a dynamic and structuring element. Thus, the diaper is used as an object to work, experiment, and play on different scientific curricular topics (food, materials, textures, colours, care for the environment...) working globally and holistically and with the participation of families.

Recent research has highlighted the educational potential of archaeology and archaeological heritage to develop multiple competences in students and overcome some of the difficulties that have traditionally been associated with the learning of history. However, the educational use of heritage faces a significant challenge: the lack of teacher training. The aim of this paper is to explore this issue in-depth and, in particular, to examine the conception and interest of trainee teachers in relation to archaeological heritage and its educational uses. The research uses a mixed qualitative and quantitative method for the analysis and interpretation of the collected data. The results have allowed us to identify specific aspects that should be integrated into the training of future teachers in order to deepen the educational potential of archaeological heritage and the implementation of teaching strategies that allow them to work with it from the early childhood stage.

Since its first applications, artificial intelligence has presented a vertiginous development, manifesting applications in multiple academic and business fields. In this article we will explore the risks to which the academic community, and especially students, are exposed to the growing wave of artificial intelligent systems, which have materialized through the use of both students and teachers. We will discuss how, through the bad behavior that the models currently present, the problems of interaction with these tools arise, supporting our hypothesis by means of an interaction that was carried out with one of the most popular existing programs among the student community: ChatGPT. This work concludes with the suggestion of three strategies that could be considered when implementing systems powered by artificial intelligence in classrooms, which seek to mitigate the risks presented throughout this paper, so that the pedagogical work of the teacher is optimized, while enhancing the learning process by students.

Nowadays, higher education institutions are facing the challenge of mediating learning through Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs). By analyzing ICT use at a Colombian university, this study identified the variables involved in this challenge. It found that the undergraduate professors at this institution present a limited development of their pedagogical competence in using ICTs. Thus, this institution should improve said competence by means of teacher education. This evaluative research was conducted following Guskey's model and adopting a mixed-methods approach to obtain quantitative and qualitative data. Six professors in the English and Basic Sciences departments formed the study group. A teacher education program using problem-based learning was designed, implemented, and evaluated. This program improved the pedagogical competence of the participants, which, in turn, was reflected positively in their students' learning experience. This paper contributes to the professional development of college professors and their pedagogical practice because it defines the fundamental factors that should be included in a teacher education program aimed to improve their pedagogical competence in using ICTs in higher education. Furthermore, it also proposes a structure for that kind of program, employing contextualized, experiential, and reflection activities. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The general opinion about Chinese students of Spanish is openly negative, since, due to their characteristics, it is very difficult for teachers to involve them in the practices of current participatory methodologies. In this paper we present the result of our research on the reality of this student based on the review of a important bibliography, as well as the data obtained from a case study. As can be seen, without dismissing that general opinion about these students, we do show that these characteristics are neither immovable nor do they have to be seen as negative, but quite the opposite, since they give rise to a student with an enormous capacity for effort and eager to know new educational practices, something that we can take advantage of using an eclectic method that combines methodologies. In order to verify these appraisals, we carried out a case study with which we wanted to know the impression of a group of students about our proposal and that we present in this paper with the aim of showing the myths and truths around this student and that we hope will be to help teachers of Spanish as a foreign language who meet them in their classrooms.

This paper deals with the reconfigurations of Noelle-Neumann's (2010) original theory and presents an analysis categorization for the contemporary spiral of silence, which involves four mechanisms: 1) accumulation; 2) consonance; 3) ubiquity; and 4) anonymity. In order to avoid excluding the term social and analyzing meanings and technologies separately, the results in this paper were presented from a sociocultural matrix reception study with eight unionized teachers and eight neo-Pentecostal evangelicals residing in the city of Curitiba (PR). Once determining that algorithms are relevant towards defining new cultural patterns of social interaction, we found the need to investigate consolidated theories in the field of communication and journalism in the light of algorithmic mediations.

This paper shows that economic theory can be analyzed by means of system dynamics, an intuitive approach that makes it possible to represent graphically the feedback loops between the variables involved in the models. It models Adam Smith's view of growth, according to Robert Heilbroner's highly simplified interpretation, (developed in a more comprehensive and exhaustive way by his teacher, the German sociologist and economist Adolph Lowe) by proposing a computational system for the study of complex models. The paper does not intend to make an original contribution to economic modeling, but to show a tool that allows simulations based on the principles of system dynamics, using specialized software. This tool can be used in teaching to show alternative modeling options to the conventional ones. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper studies the training process performed by several primary teachers. The analysis of such training is the main line in this paper, together with the in-class activity. The project focuses on the teaching of literature; precisely, on verbal interactions that emerge in the classroom when working with illustrated books. Part of the training consisted in self-confrontation interviews, where the teachers visualized their lessons and have reflected on their practice. The results obtained from the aforesaid interviews have suggested that there has been an evolution between different self-confrontations; for example, the teachers moved from an external look into an internal one, where the practice is analysed from the internal prism of the author.

Feedback on teaching practices is an essential part of teachers' professional development. The objective of this paper is to evaluate the impact of the use of rubrics to improve the quality of feedback on teachers' performance in the classroom. The study sample comprised 32 participants randomly assigned to an experimental or a control group. The experimental group worked together to design their rubric to support and give feedback on teacher performance in the classroom, while the control group was assigned a standardized rubric. The results point to significant differences in the quality of feedback in favor of the experimental group, whose feedback was more formative and offered greater guidance. The research concludes that rubrics, providing direction for reflection on teaching practice and promoting teachers' professional development and a transformation of the teaching-learning process.

In this paper we present our reflections from the development of a postgraduate course on teaching practices at the university, in which the contributions of the attending teachers evidenced the essential articulation of didactics with other fields of knowledge, in order to understand the problems that teaching raises in the present. Issues such as the relationship of teaching with technology, with the ways of learning of young people, affectivity as a component of teaching, attention to diversity and the working conditions of teachers are presented as topics recurring, which although they are not new, have acquired other connotations that make them more complex. This made us think in the sense of considering a "didactics from or towards the edges", focusing on the contributions of those other fields to this discipline that offer greater richness to the analysis of teaching.

In this paper, we study how the intentionality to propose an experimental situation in a science lesson was mobilized. This situation initiated a didactic sequence about light that was implemented in different elementary classrooms (belonging to a socioeducational program from the City of Buenos Aires) and was conceived in a working group where teachers and researchers collaborate. We aim to explore the potentiality of this collaborative modality to promote the construction of ideas on teaching and learning science. We present a case study and we focus on the interactions between the different positions of the collaborative group members as they were involved in the co-design, implementation, and analysis of the sequence. We identified that, initially, the group discussions were centered on the material aspects of the lesson design; but, after the first implementations, the shared reflection about the classroom scenes made it possible to problematize the teachers' interventions, the interpretation of the students' ideas and the assessment of alternatives on how to promote student engagement. This motivated modifications in further implementations and redefinitions of the purpose to present the experiment in class. Finally, we were able to understand some reasons that obstruct teachers' engagement with academic research proposals. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper presents the design of a model to create the reading habit based on a co-creation process with third and fourth grade students, parents and teachers of the Institución Educativa Municipal José Celestino Mutis (Fusagasugá). The methodology had a mixed approach, using documentary research sources and field work, through surveys to 78 students and 11 parents, interviews to four teachers and six experts, the application of a reading log for 21 days and the cocreation workshop. From the results it was identified that students like to read, enjoy reading textbooks and feel that it contributes to the learning process; however, half of them do not have books at home, and their parents are not motivated to create this habit, so the model proposes to train parents in the formation of this habit.

In recent years there has been an increasingly interest about new models of teaching that are focused on teachers´ pedagogical updating, highlighting the importance of working in communities in which, through a continuous, reflective, collaborative and inclusive processes, teachers guide their work towards a comprehensive, inclusive and equitable training. Those are called `teaching learning communities´. In this paper we share our experience on [OBJECTIVE] designing and activating such a community in our faculty, where we were able to transform contents and methodology in order to facilitate the so-called `situated learning´ and give professional guidance under two main principles such as sustainable development and common good. [METHODOLOGY] It´s been through a descriptive and analytical methodology supported by a transdisciplinary dialogue between [SAMPLE]120 professors, that we have proven [CONCLUSSION] that this so called `teaching learning communities´ are effective in order to re-design academic guides, organize teachers´ duties and promote a new ecosystem between teachers and students.

Several studies have revealed an unequal valuation and didactic approach to intangible cultural heritage (ICH) among teachers in Latin America, Spain and Portugal. To obtain a comprehensive overview of the situation of ICH in Ibero-American education, this study aims to discover the conceptions that educators hold about this heritage typology, the didactic use they make of it and the problems they experience when teaching about it. This paper presents the preliminary results obtained from the responses of 52 teachers to a qualitative questionnaire. The data collected, analysed from Grounded Theory through a triple coding process, points to an asynchrony between the conceptions about ICH, mainly valued as a catalyst of identity bonds, and the didactic implementation of it, in which expositive methodologies prevail, disregarding the evaluative processes. It is concluded that the developed categories can specifically serve the heritageeducational understanding of the ICH, by obtaining a model of interpretation that diverges in some respects from previous theoretical frameworks.

The objective of this paper was to analyze the teaching practice of a preschool teacher in a private school in San Luis Potosi, Mexico, based on the dimensions of effective and represented work. From the analysis of the instructions and the simple self-confrontation, axes of analysis were identified that allowed an approach to the main challenges that the teacher faced with the online education developed during the pandemic by covid-19. The results of the work placed at the center of the discussion the teacher's challenges and concerns about the ways of teaching online literacy, the relationships with the students' families when working from home, and the interaction with technology in the virtual classroom. Taken together, the findings broaden the picture of teaching practices during social distancing and contribute to the empirical knowledge of this object of study as a result of the impact generated by the pandemic.

From the framework of the pandemic, this paper desires to reveal Who is behind the screen? The objective is to analyze from empathy the personal experiences related to the educational role of teachers and students. From the referential expressions to the affective, cognitive, and social components of integrative empathy, an intervention was made with a group of participants, ten teachers, and 47 students, 90% of whom were women, in the virtual educational project "Technopedagogical Cafe" in which they opened spaces for expression and dialogue. With a qualitative and interpretive methodology of constant comparison, differences were found in empathy between the people behind the screens linked to the educational role they play. From teaching, empathy is framed in commitment to the professional ethos, openness to change, resignification of learning for life, and recognition of the student as a person. From the student body, it is framed in the relationship with their peers by valuing new experiences and learning and in a gradual and continuous process of adaptation that demands receiving empathy from teachers, but without reciprocity towards them. In both actors, the need to move to empathic action as part of the training processes in the new educational normality is revealed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper is part of the international EduCovid19 project that seeks to describe teachers' perceptions of the impact of COVID-19 on their practices, as well as those of their students. In this context, this text focuses on making comparisons of teachers' perceptions on different variables and projecting their consequences on their teaching careers. A sample (N=541) of Chilean and Peruvian teachers of all educational levels participated in the study through a virtual structured questionnaire. The results show inequalities in the teaching practices of both countries based on significant differences linked to gender inequality, socioeconomic gaps, and the academic degree of the educators.

Este trabajo persigue dos objetivos. En primer lugar, estudiar el efecto potencial de la percepción del clima escolar por parte de los profesores y de las variables motivacionales de estos relacionadas con los estudiantes en la satisfacción de los profesores con la escuela y el clima motivacional del aula (CMC). En segundo lugar, validar una batería de cuestionarios para evaluar las diferentes variables motivacionales de los docentes relacionadas con los estudiantes: conocimiento motivacional, enfoque de los docentes en las calificaciones y necesidades emocionales de los estudiantes y expectativas. En total, 441 profesores y 5,380 estudiantes de España y Costa Rica participaron en el estudio. Los análisis factoriales confirmatorios mostraron la adecuación de la estructura de cada cuestionario. Además, los resultados de los análisis de correlación y regresión mostraron, en primer lugar, que la percepción del clima escolar, junto con las expectativas de los profesores, son los principales factores que pueden influir en la satisfacción de los profesores con la escuela. En segundo lugar, que el CMC no depende de la satisfacción de los profesores, sino solo de dos componentes del clima escolar, el apoyo mutuo de los profesores y las actitudes de los estudiantes, y de las expectativas de autoeficacia. En ambos análisis de regresión, satisfacción y CMC, se encontraron diferencias transculturales. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, we seek to analyse the content and activities on bioethics in six different textbooks for the subject of Scientific Culture in the first year of the Spanish baccalaureate. It also considers how 26 teachers deal with this content and what didactic methodologies they use in the classroom. The methodology was framed in content analysis. Regarding to the textbooks, a system of categories based on evaluation criteria of the curriculum was carried out. To find out the way these teachers worked, a questionnaire with six open questions was also designed. The results show that there is a certain heterogeneity in the type of content about bioethics included in the textbooks, highlighting those related to the pharmaceutical industry, as well as in the curricular content developed by the teachers in the classroom. In terms of methodologies and working approaches, debate stands out as one of the tools most used by teachers to work on bioethical dilemmas. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper analyzes the way in which teaching work is measured at the higher and graduate levels in Mexico and how this has resulted in the change of professors' practices and in the formation of researchers. It begins with an approach to the state of the art of works on the figure of the teacher and the proposals for improvement from the perspective of the professor at the higher level, finally, the case of the Autonomous University of Zacatecas is presented as a reflection of what is currently happening with teacher training in Higher Education Institutions (hei). The methodology used is a qualitative case study, based on interviews with researchers of the institution for the subsequent analysis of the elements that influence or are considered as part of this training. It is concluded that a reconceptualization of teacher training is necessary, including the current challenges faced by the teacher: classroom work, scientific production and the search for technological innovation.

Science teaching has been called to contribute to citizenship insofar as it requires scientific competencies such as articulating theory and evidence, and the critical evaluation of different points of view. To promote argumentation in science teaching is key but not simple and requires teachers' pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) of argumentation. International literature has reported low PCK of argumentation in science teachers, but we scarcely know about this in Spanish speaking countries. This paper reports a study aimed at describing the PCK of argumentation on 10 primary science teachers in Chile. Lessons were video recorded, and interviews were conducted. Results show low PCK of argumentation overall, and declarative PCK does not necessarily relates with procedimental PCK. Moreover, different configurations of the dimensions of PCK of argumentation were observed, suggesting that there is not one possible learning progression, but different ones. Educational and scientific implications are discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

It describes the methodological proposal of six stages and 23 activities for the collection of socio-economic information of vulnerable sectors involving teachers, students and local actors, with the objective of generating projects with a high social impact based on territorial diagnosis. The proposal was applied and validated in the Las Gilces commune of the city of Portoviejo and San Juan site of the city of Manta, Ecuador. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper reports the partial progress of a doctoral research aimed at understanding the literacy experiences of preschool teachers that allowed them to form themselves as reading subjects. It is a study with a qualitative approach through the narrative autobiographical method. We worked with a group of six teachers from various municipalities in the state of Querétaro, who, through a generative question, wrote a story about situations, people and texts with which they interacted in their reading life itineraries. The analysis was carried out from a hermeneutic, horizontal thematic perspective from the sociocultural perspective of literacy. Among the results, it stands out that the participation of the family in the first years of the reading process is centered on literacy through the mechanical reproduction of letters, copy sheets, homework and reading fluency. Although, to a lesser extent, there are also spaces for free, playful encounters and enjoyment of reading, mainly with vernacular texts. However, the evidence that the family space reproduces the school patterns of approach to written language limits the way in which the family can contribute to the reading process of the subject.

This paper examines the experience of a group of students conducting their intermediate teaching practicum while studying an English Teaching Program at a Chilean university. The main objective is to explore, from the student’s point of view, the factors which lead to their recognition as teachers during that practicum experience, despite their marginal structural position as pre-service teachers in the educational establishments. The study is based on the analysis of five semi-structured interviews, following the conceptual apparatus offered by French sociologist Pierre Bourdieu. We argue that the main factor determining how preservice teachers acquire capital, authority and recognition as teachers in their practicum classrooms is the negotiation of the asymmetrical power relations which emerges between the trainees and their mentor teachers (i.e., the actual classroom teachers).

In this paper, we analyze the concepts underlying the evaluative rationalities of teachers who work in school establishments. The research is of a qualitative-interpretive nature. Fifteen teachers participated, who had varying different years of work experience and were teaching different levels and subjects of the school curriculum. To collect the information, we conducted a group interview and a focus group. The data were systematized by means of content analysis with version 12 of the software NVivo. The main results reveal the prevalence of technological evaluative rationalities and cultural practice rationalities among the participating teachers. Based on these findings, we discuss the need to reflect on the implicit components that underlie evaluative rationalities and how these should be revealed and assumed in order to address new demands of assessment practice in different school contexts.

Since the dictatorship, Chilean educational administration has been guided by the neoliberal logic of the new public management, managed by instruments such as the teacher evaluation system. This paper gathers 11 interviews with teachers about their experience in high stake testing processes of their performance. The results show tensions between the vision and objectives of the teacher evaluation policy and the perspective from the experience of the teachers themselves, mainly regarding the objectives and scope of the evaluation process, as well as the ways of carrying it out. At the same time, practices of resistance to the competitive and individualistic Logic that operates in the current evaluation system are highlighted, towards collaborative and locally contextualized practices.

Images portraying the teacher and its classroom have played an essential role in the development of educational systems. This paper constitutes a research on the iconographic origin of the representations that were mainly used in Spain between 1876 and 1931. In order to do that european cards from the 16th to the 19th centuries, made using a variety of engraving techniques, that show teachers and pupils, are analyzed. The continuity of some of these characterizations and their Spanish update, identifying the teacher with the traditional Latin dómine, it's revealing. Its presence, both in the satirical press aimed at adults and in illustrated books for children, reflects it. This image directed towards criticism and entertainment has its compensation, also starring teachers and schoolchildren, representing rewards and penalties in children's reading books in that same period of time. Contextual factors allow us to position this variety of pictures -- the development of schooling and its protagonists, the editors' intentions in the media in which they appear -- but they can not compose a sufficient interpretation without paying attention to the role of the illustrator. The artistic education that he posseses and the resources he manages in his profesión or the influence from other artists are conclusive aspects in order to decide the final meaning, the whole visuality of his images establishing the potencial of their meaning.

On occasions when a child or adolescent falls ill or has an accident and is unable to attend school for a long period of time, certain socio-educational needs arise that must be addressed by the school. This paper argues that this situation can be beneficial for their classmates if they are given the opportunity to be part of this response. This work proposes different actions that teachers can carry out with their students to cover the needs that arise from the new situation, while at the same time working on curricular content and competences in the classroom.
