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 article explores the importance of considering "gender regimes" as strategic enclaves in the processes of mainstreaming comprehensive sex education policies in high school. The analysis is based on a diverse set of empirical data constructed in an ethnographic investigation carried out between 2017 and 2018 in a high school in Gran La Plata, Argentina. From the description of a gender regime called "virile" and within the framework of an institutional culture characterized as "normative", the paper reveals some limitations of a way of mainstreaming comprehensive sex education that here is called "curricular" and it offers some clues to consider in which ways an approach that considers the totality of institutional dynamics in their pedagogical dimension could enhance the scope of a policy aimed at combating gender inequalities.

In this article, we emphasize the different reflections and the discussions regarding a university extension project in a Middle School within the Political Science and International Relations University. This paper presents the description of a number of "classroom-workshop" experiences during the school year 2013 with 3°, 4° and 5° year students from "San Juan Diego" school, which is situated in a suburb populated mainly by Rosario Qom Community inhabitants. The focus of the paper is the relationship between the educational context and the students' identity process. The tutorials, that took place in order to support the educational process, involved the development of different activities in which the artistic aspect was really important since it triggered several discussions regarding the school, the suburb and the community. These experiences lead us to think about the notion of identity and its complexity. During the presentation of this work, a discussion that questioned the project following the idea of their chances of interference with the changing reality took place in the IV University Extension National Congress, September 2014.

This paper begins by historicizing certain issues that are put at stake in the extension of mandatory schooling in Argentina, as elaborated in the 2006 National Education Law which, in which from its extension to the end of secondary education it includes more actors and institutions. In order to accomplish this, laws and regulations are analyzed, as well as parliamentary debates and various documents. The second half of this paper accounts for the different circulating meanings regarding to the schooling of those who attend Secondary Level Educational Centers (students, teachers, directors). Since they did not tend to identify youths and adults as subjects of the regulation that establishes compulsory education, it is argued that historical configurations intervene in this stance, configurations that are linked to said command as well as to personal experiences. In this second half of the paper, the records of the ethnographic fieldwork conducted in two Secondary Level Educational Centers are analyzed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper analyzes the most recent changes in Argentine federalism and the challenges that arise from the migration process from a dual model to a cooperative one. Specifically, it reflects on the political and institutional challenges for the formulation and implementation of public policies and the transformations in terms of articulation of these policies in heterogeneous contexts: large differences between different levels of regional development, and also in terms of political-ideological conception and policy orientation of the highest authorities of the executive in each of the levels of government. In order to analyze these challenges we work over the federal councils, considering them as an instrument that promotes public policy coordination between the national government and the provincial states. In this sense, we explore the transformations of the federal management of educational policy since it provides evidence to identify significant milestones in the process of transformation of the management arrangements of Argentine federalism and, on recent experience, how the consolidation of the Federal Education Council (FEC) contributes to improve the conditions of the joint cooperative model. The paper seeks to contribute to the debate on federalism and intergovernmental relations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper analyzes and discusses the Law Nº 7446 named “Educación Pública de Gestión Comunitaria Bilingüe Intercultural Indígena” (Public Management Community Bilingual Intercultural Indigenous Education) approved in the Chaco province in 2014. Specifically reviews the discussions on the name of these Schools: Gestión Social (Social Management) and Gestión Comunitaria (Community Management). It also analyzes the involvement of the Community Council in the designation of the educational staff. The data used for this paper is: different versions of the Project Law, regional news press between 2010 and 2014, official speeches and some interviews with the people involved in this educational process (Union Educational Leaders and native teachers). This paper concludes thinking on the meanings of interculturality notion observed in the speeches of the social actors involved in Indigenous Education. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Equity in education is socially desirable because of the relevance of education for the development of people. Therefore, it is interesting to study whether the allocation of spending on education takes into account this aspect. Since the concept of fairness is not univocal, it is necessary to define a position. Here, it is assumed that there is educational equity if equality exists in educational outcomes. Thus, the purpose of the paper is to examine whether the distribution of educational spending among the districts of the Province of Buenos Aires, Argentina, is equitable. The hypothesis that it is not, is proposed. The Gini coefficient and an Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) regression are used to verify this hypothesis. It was found that the distribution of funds depends directly on the degree of illiteracy among districts, but also there is evidence that is independent of poverty, dropout rate, percentage of enrollment in the initial levels and the proportion of establishments classified as unfavorable. Then, it is concluded that the educational expenses distribution is not governed, or it is only done very weakly, by the principle of equity in the paper considered. That is, empirical evidence verifies the proposed hypothesis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Supported by the evidence found in documents produced by undergraduate and graduate students, the text is focused on representative samples of language practices, autobiography writing, and metacognitive reflections linked with text production from students at the higher education level, analyzed through Carlino (2005), Brito (2010), Natale (2012), Bidiña and Zerillo (2013), Navarro (2013) and others. In general, as an advance conclusion, it can be said that students complain that the intense monotoring carried out by the teaching staff at the beginning of the lerarning process decreases as the course is in progress, but they also show signs of having difficulties in the framing of the enunciator, and their papers manifest scarce rhetorical and pragmatic abilities, in spite of the two decades elapsed since the functional communicative approach for language teaching was officially prescribed in Argentina. Furthermore, students object the lack of common criteria among the teachers regarding the use of academic text formats, and demand institutional agreements or between the faculty members concerning the criteria for the evaluation of papers.

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.

The aim of this paper is to share some similarities about what children and young people obtain from work and school. The main protagonists in the research are children and young people who try to cope with two activities: school learning and work. The objective of this paper is two-fold: on the one hand, to make visible child and adolescent work in our region, since there is not a symbolic or social recognition of it, neither from the school sector nor from people in general and, on the other hand, to show that the school/work relation is a complex one: working children have to deal with different situations in order to keep up schooling: absences, late arrivals, tiredness, temporary desertion, promotion failure, lack of time to study and do homework. These students do not get special attention from their families, the state or the school system. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper presents theoretical and methodological aspects of a current doctorate sub-project referred to the psycho-social processes involved in the construction of demands by youngster and adult education (EDJA in Spanish). It belongs to a framework project which analyzes factors and processes that takes into account the situation of the demand of EDJA in popular sectors of Buenos Aires City (Dir.: Sirvent) that has diagnosed a situation of deep educational poverty and the validity of the principle of accumulative advance in education. The paper presents some analysis categories integrative axis. It emphasizes in one of these axis, centered in the educational trajectory, starting from a life story taken as a case study that allows us to understand the development of the construction of demands processes in the dialectical interplay among the schooling, the EDJA and the social learning, considering the subject in their integrity and in their vital, family and socio-historical context. There are educational lacks which accumulate and feed each other, causing exclusions and configuring inhibiting psycho-social aspects. However, the dynamics of the stimulating learning are also observed. Our future work aims to combine investigation and intervention on these problems through participative instances of collective construction of knowledge. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper examines the different versions of the discourses on aboriginal peoples in primary school textbooks published in Argentina between 1980 and 2000. This approach is considered a way of understanding the interethnic conflicts derived from the struggle in the interior of the discourses, which in this case are written school discourses. At the same time, this paper considers the present political, social and cultural scenarios in which the interethnic relationships take place and which differ from the hegemony of the homogeneity of the last quarter of the 19th century and highlights the sociocultural diversity of our multicultural societies. It tries to understand up to what extent these textbook discourses developed discursive variants which reveal the impact of the changing scenarios. This paper is part of a research work which aims at studying the changes of these discourses about aboriginal peoples in two different periods of time: the foundational period of the public educational system in Argentina (circa 1880-1916) and the period of questioning and of appearance of the discourses on sociocultural diversity (1980s-2000s).

This paper analyzes some aspects related to the public debate about immigrant population and the construction of a national identity in Argentina during the first decades of the 20 th. century. Immigration, education and nationalism were the thee ideas which originated the debate on a possible model of country and constituted a field of tensions that covered the period of the great immigration wave. This paper will, in the light of these reflections, illustrate some of the features that these aspects acquired in a rural area. Southeast of the province of La Pampa the largest number of migratory population was farmed by groups of people who migrated from eastern Europe. The presence of Jewish colonies, such as the Narcisse Leven colony, meant the birth of debates on these groups which seemed to question the basis of the "Argentine Nationality". This text emphasizes the complexs relationship among immigration, education, and ethnicity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper presents an exploratory study that analyzes the speeches media on the territorialisation of the episodes of violence in schools, in La Plata, Argentina, in the period 1993-2011. Given the characteristics of the object of inquiry the methodological approach was qualitative and the information is analyzed in the framework of the educational discourse analysis. Among the results, we observed that in the presentation of the episodes are delimited territorial boundaries and symbolic that associate the acts of violence in the school space differently. We conclude that the territorialisation form part of a stigmatization dynamic. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

More years of formal education are usually associated with better opportunities throughout life. Additionally, differences related to the completion of the course of studies are expected not only by years of schooling, but also by the degree. This paper aims to highlights the differences in the employment situation of those with differing educational attainment. The Argentinean population, aged 25 to 44 years is considered in the following segments of interest: those who reached up to the secondary level;; those who began a university major but did not completed it, and finally, those who completed a degree in higher education. Considering Home Surveys, the information available in urban Argentinean conglomerates allows to exhibit differences in indicators regarding job quality and work situation, in the three groups compared. In all aspects considered, those who managed to obtain a degree find themselves, on average, in a better situation than those who started their higher studies education but dropped out. The third segment (those who finished high school but did not start higher education studies) were found, predominantly, in a worse situation than other individuals. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In the paper we present progress of a research project that aims at studying the political-pedagogical project and actions of popular education with youth and adults in the Department of University Extension of the University of Buenos Aires which ran between 1956 and 1966.The Department of University Extension attempted to articulatethe university with the people. The focus of its actions was in the Maciel Island. There, for ten years, they developed educational, health and welfare actions in order to solve the problems of the inhabitants of the island, from a joint effort between the university and the community.

The aim of this paper is to analyze the forms of sociability among secondary school students in two state-managed schools in the province of Buenos Aires, Argentina. The research was of a qualitative nature, and its empirical corpus consists of sociograms, in-depth interviews, and focus groups carried out with students in 2012 and 2014. First, the types of young people’s groups in each school are analyzed. Then the students’ motives for selecting or rejecting classmates are researched. Lastly, the different forms of sociability in each school are interpreted to be associated with the degree of student mobility in each institution. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Secondary education is currently the subject of many transformations, policies and debates. These call into question its historical function, the organization of its curriculum, teachers' work, and the way it gives meaning to adolescents' academic experience. This paper offers the results of a research project that sought to determine how teachers perceive these changes, the problems they identify, and how their professional identities may be repositioned as a result. With that in mind, the study considered the inclusion processes for new adolescents and ICT integration in secondary schools, and analyzes the challenges in teacher training and professional development. The study was carried out from a sociocritical perspective, and applied extended information collection methods and a semi-structured questionnaire. The open-ended questions were systematized with the software Atlas.ti for qualitative data analysis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper presents a comparative analysis in relation to the emergency of the studies on educational inequalities in Mexico and Argentina, between the fifties and sixtys of the twentieth century. Theoretics, methodologic and comparative perspective is used, for draw up to similarities and differences between both countries. Two points are relevant: convergence is highlighted in the rationales underlying the emerging research on educational inequalities in both countries, as well as the relevance of certain discursive transfers between international and na tional productions, both facts makes each case singu lar and sig nificant.

The main purpose of this paper is to share research results. These are about the reconstruction that students do on their previous school experiences and how they contrast them with the changes in their university life. The central problem was linked to the need to know the characteristics of young people who are in fact living at the stage of university. We have as a goal to show some of their psychosocial references in order to identify issues related to the experiences in this new step and their ways of action on the construction of their institutional place. The research was conducted in 2014. It is a mixed methodological approach, because we gave a questionnaire with closed and open questions, but also, we took individual and group interviews. The population consisted of students who were enrolled in their second year of Chemical and Veterinary Sciences at the Catholic University of Córdoba. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper we attempt to make a contribution to teacher training in comprehensive sex education. Considering the importance of the hidden curriculum in the transmission of sexism and the reproduction of gender inequalities, we developed a device to work with educational interventions in emerging conflicts at school, focusing on those that relate to gender and sexuality. For the implementation of the device we formed a community of practice of middle school teachers from different disciplines in Buenos Aires, Argentina. The device is based on image theater, which enabled us to address school situations from the viewpoint of the physical body, revealing dimensions of sexuality often silenced in school. Using the proposed scene, teachers were able to reflect on the tensions and meanings attributed to pregnancy in the school system. We concluded that this type of analysis can represent a way to reflect on the roles and relationships of power, giving teachers new tools for situations that occur in school life.

The incorporation of the New Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) into Argentina's education system is at the same time the result of both national and provincial policy as well as other unplanned influences that come from outside of the education's field. Whatever its origin, the incorporation of ICTs into the classrooms reflects a global cultural's change which consists of a qualitative transformation of the ways of our social interaction, the definition of our identities, and the production and circulation of knowledge. On the following paper we will present the main ideas of our future research, which aims to identify and characterize the interpretative communities conformed by students at school. In this way, we aim to study the relationships between students and written culture since the technological model implemented by the educational policy Plan ConectarIgualdad, developed by the national government.

The aim of this paper is to analyze and discuss the implications of intercultural education within contemporary debate. In the first place, we will review the Argentinian legislation. Afterward, we will discuss the core characteristics of the educational system, in order to study the historical incorporation of indigenous people in schools. Then, we will explore the actual legislation about intercultural education with the aim of stressing their potentialities as well as their limitations. Finally, we will present the mainly discussions in the field of Anthropology and Education. From the methodological point of view, this text rest on recent academic sources, widely disseminated and available in virtual environments. All these sources were analyzed regarding the information we reconstruct during our different field works, made in the last decade with indigenous populations of Argentina. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper we analyze the changes in the last seven years in sexual practices and attitudes related to gender and non-hegemonic sexualities of young people attending high school in Argentina. For this purpose we take into account the results of two researches conducted in 2005 and 2012, with samples of around 6.000 young people each, of students of public schools in all regions of the country. The data were analyzed according to sex, age, socioeconomic level and region of the country where survey respondents lived. The data collection instrument consisted of a self-administered survey. In relation to sexual diversity, the results show an increase in the acceptance of sexual minorities. Around the sexual practices of young people, there is a shift in the age of onset at younger ages. Regarding the use of MACs, there is a slight decrease in the use of condom as a predominant method of care, as well as a significant increase in the use of birth control pills. An important finding lies in the increased use of emergency contraception. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
