This paper aims to analyze arguments offered by university students in relation to the implementation program for the Geography Course of Studies (2009) at the Faculty of Human Sciences from the National University of La Pampa. To achieve this, this article will focus on the reports of those who are taking up the Teacher Residency course, as it is the first cohort that will graduate with the new study program. Hence, the aim of this article is to explain the meaning of teacher professional training, and in particular, that of teacher training in Geography. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The FCH at UNLPam is one of the first universities in the country to give signs of commitment regarding gender. Among these is the Interdisciplinary Institute of Women Studies, created in 1993. In 2008, UNLPam legislates for the use of non-sexist language when applied in the degrees granted. In 2010, in the view of the changes on the Teaching Studies curricula, an Integral Sexual Education Seminar was incorporated; and nowadays, Extracurricular and public lectures are given in the form of Cátedra Libre named Educación Sexual Integral y Derechos Sexuales y Reproductivos. It emerges along with the local forum for the rights to legal, safe and free abortion. The creation of this Chair reflects the interest in studying the complexities of the bodies, sexuality and gender in education, particularly at schools, as a socializing space in different levels. University functions are not only formative, but also being a central part in formulating public policies in education. This paper attempts to account for the articulation between the activism processes that have been taking place in the city and the accessibility found at the university decision- spaces.

This paper is intended as an approximate analysis of the most important student magazine in UNLPam from 1982-1987. It proposes to examine University Magazine, one of the cultural productions with deepest roots consistency and involvement in the reconfiguration of the of the post-dictatorship student movement. University Magazine was a material and intellectual experience that brought a large group of students from the Faculty of Humanities together. It participated in the student scene as an instituting and rebellious instance against the disciplinarian effects that state terror had deployed in the social / cultural sphere since its inception as a de facto government. It was an experience which stood at a distance both from party organizations and the unions (student centers, federations, etc.), whose praxis became as an exemplary statute deployed as a multiplier space through art and culture in the vast field of social and popular struggle.

This paper takes analysis and reflection elements from the implementation of the new syllabus in the UNLPam English Professorship in the Practice Area. This Area becomes the cross curricular line in the teacher training courses, giving a new meaning to all the curricular spaces and a progressive participation to students in social and school contexts. This article studies the Area as a prefigurative practice. Prefigurative pedagogy could be defined as a group of practices that, from the beginning of the course of studies, anticipate future education. These activities -which are essentially political- are organized through the following fundamental dimensions: organization logistics, collective action, reflection on that action, and the participation of the people involved. The activities involve a qualitative methodology, which considers these practices from the voices and experiences of teachers and students that take place in them. This implies that the students start at the beginning of their training and continue all along their course, connecting disciplinary and pedagogical courses in the space of their future professional working areas, with permanent changes due to dynamic reflection. This should allow students to understand a way of construction that promotes and generates professional, democratic and cooperative training with a political stance. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
