Reading in the university in the social sciences area involves working with multiple textual and discursive sources. Many times teachers can expect students to behave as autonomous readers and to know in advance how to read in a specific area. In this sense, this paper addresses teacher's perspectives and expectations about student's reading practices in Psychology at a state-run university. For this, a qualitative study is carried out in which 30 teachers of the first year of the Psychology degree are interviewed. The interviews are analyzed in light of categories that emerge from the theoretical framework and the emerging ones are considered. Results show that the great majority of teacher's perspectives on students reading focus on the difficulties and that a few teacher's perspectives focus on strengths and on self-critical view of teaching practices. In addition, these perspectives are related to the reading practices expected by teachers. Those teachers, who highlight difficulties, declare to encourage monological reading practices and expect students to read in this way. Those who recognize potentialities and difficulties in their students as readers declare possible dialogical practices and hope that students can read together with them. Reading perspectives lead teachers to deploy reading practices that may tend to remedy the difficulties or become spaces of construction of shared meanings on what is read. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

A decade after the first National Communication Conference (Confecom) in Brazil, it is commonly said that the approved proposals were not implemented. This article aims to assess whether this analysis is appropriate. The 633 approved proposals were examined and the proposals that were programmatic or impossible to be measured were excluded from the sample. It was found that more than a third of the rest were implemented, in whole or in part. The great symbol of the conference, a new regulatory framework for the sector, was not prepared and submitted to the National Congress. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article presents a new interpretation regarding political-religious symbolism in Roman military insignias at the end of 2nd century BC whose removing four of five insignias would be closely related to the reforms to institute professional army accomplished by Gaius Marius. In this case the survival of the eagle insignia is related to supremacy of god Jupiter above god Mars, who symbolically in its origin was also an agricultural god whose religious appearance still incarnates the ideal of duality peasant-soldier eliminated by the new professional soldier.

The research exploring homophobia in education are becoming more numerous year, partly for legal recognition that the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender have gained in recent times , the result of years of struggles and demands. This article presents a meta- analysis of different studies that have analyzed homophobia in university classrooms is presented. Its preparation was carried out a review of research carried out in this respect at national and international level through a literature search in databases. Given the paucity of published research on the topic , it was considered appropriate to use only as an indicator the word "homophobia", establishing a requirement that the indicator was mentioned in the title or abstract of the article. They also analyzed the references cited in each of the items found . The results indicate an overview of the most studied aspects concerning homophobia in university classrooms. The relevance of working with sexual diversity and prevention of homophobia from university centers , different ways of doing and the importance of university teachers in this aspect are finally discussed, based on the data found, the sexism, attention to diversity, equity and inclusive education.

Reading comprehension is a complex process which lies upon three interrelated basic skills: decoding, lexical semantic knowledge and wordto- text integration processes. Decoding entails the reader's ability to recognize grapheme-phoneme correspondence. Lexical semantic knowledge refers to the knowledge of words in a given language, and it includes both word identification, i.e., visual processing of the graphemes' shapes and lexical activation; and semantic awareness, i.e., knowledge of meaning. Decoding and lexical semantic knowledge are deemed as pertaining to a lower level in relation to integration, in which category we include such skills as inference - generation. Previous research, notably in England, the United States of America and Argentina, has shown that difficulties in reading comprehension may be due to faulty decoding, poor lexical semantic knowledge and inferencemaking failures. Although each of these skills is necessary to achieve comprehension, none of them alone can guarantee it. It is considered that decoding and lexical knowledge are associated skills, and influence each other. The effects of decoding in text comprehension are mediated by knowledge about the meaning of words and the effects of comprehension in decoding depend on the achievement of sufficient word meanings. Thus, the aims of this paper were to study the relations among reading comprehension skills and to study how decoding skills and lexical semantic knowledge contribute to inference-making generation. In broad terms, the hypotheses were reading comprehension skills are interrelated and decoding skills and lexical knowledge are significant predictors of inference-making generation. This survey was conducted among 94 primary school children of an average age of 8 to 10 years old. They were given the Letter Recognition and Lexical Processes Tests from the PROLEC Test Battery, the Vocabulary Subtest from Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC-III) and the Inference-making Ability Assessments from Cain and Oakhill (Canet Juric & Burin, 2006). Results have shown that in the decoding assessment, the highest number of errors and correct answers are found in pseudo word reading. Regarding lexical knowledge, the highest average of right answers is found in word reading. As regards wordto- text integration, the average number of in ferences incorrectly drawn is 14.62. Since the tests we used measured right and wrong answers, indices of decoding and lexical knowledge were created. Moreover, our findings suggest significant and moderate-to-strong relations among reading comprehension skills. Decoding skills and lexical semantic knowledge have accounted for 51% of inferences. However, lexical knowledge alone has made the most significant contribution. The set of variables has accounted for 48% of coherence inferences and 45% of elaborative inferences. The only significant predictor of both types of inference-making was lexical knowledge. To conclude, as posited by international research and our first hypothesis, comprehension skills are interrelated. Taking into consideration our second hypothesis, our findings suggest that comprehension skills account for inference-making generation and that lexical knowledge reveals itself as a predictor of the children's potential ability for inference-making. In other words, vocabulary is a basic component of more complex skills such as inference. This is consistent with what international research suggests. As regards the performance of the general sample in the assessed comprehension skills, it resembles that of the child population of the same age, surveyed in Tucumán and in. Taking into consideration the way in which comprehension skills relate to and affect each other could allow us to develop intervention programs which would help improve the performance of children who demonstrate text comprehension difficulties.

Problem about formal mechanisms of making decision and conflict resolution in schools in the city of San Luis, Argentina, are studied in this paper. The dimension worked refers to information poured by those who have the conduction of the institutions. The work involved 11 schools, whose directors were inquired. The instruments used were open surveys. Broadly speaking, it is observed that authorities refer to a community where agreements are reached by consensus, almost everyone knows the regulations (teaching agreements, PEI), these are subjected to discussion by those involved, and intervention is plural (authorities , teachers, assistants and -in some cases- parents).

This paper remarks the role of the Mercosur in the updating of the education in undergraduate programmes of psychology, considering different documents. After a brief outline of the main American background referred to education in psychology, the contributions that the Mercosur made to this topic since its creation in 1991, are presented. Specific agreements that were subscribed by the Comité Coordinador de los Psicólogos del Mercosur y Países Asociados and the recommendations for the education profile made in 2001 are considered. A brief analysis between both issues is developed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Although beauty standards depend on historical periods and cultural differences, esthetics has always been a people's concern. Communication processes, including smiling, are the key to human relationships, so dental care and teeth position are of paramount importance. Among the various types of malocclusions, Class I is the most frequent worldwide, there are also Class II and Class III malocclusions which have specific clinic and etiologic characteristics. Consequently, the alternative for treatment will depend on several factors such as age and malocclusion severity. To determine the variables that affect most the studied group, a model of Logistic Regression was used. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In Mexico, there is a wider conservative tradition compared to other nations. However, in order to know with precision the evolution of social thought on topics that tend to polarize opinions, we must listen not only to opinion leaders' arguments in favor and against, but also measure the way in which citizens take positions. In this study, approval or disapproval of euthanasia, abortion and the "day after" pill is addressed. Results show that 64% of this Mexican sample would agree to the existence of euthanasia as an alternative for those who suffer from terminal diseases. The greater approval of this topic is represented by individuals with higher education levels. In terms of abortion, 59% of Mexicans agree that a woman has the right to interrupt her own pregnancy. Young citizens and citizens with higher levels of education are the ones who support this measure and a greater proportion of men than women approve of its legislation. A 79% of Mexicans approve of the "day after" pill, specially in the younger and more educated sectors of the population. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Body image refers not only to physical appearance but also to body functioning aspects, strength, degree of femininity-masculinity, levels of body safety, and feelings about emotion (Pruzinsky and Cash, 1990). The aim of this work is to inquire into coping strategies and their relation to body image in school-age adolescents of the city of San Luis. Body Shape Questionnaire (BSQ) and Adolescent Coping Scale (ACS) were administered to 142 adolescents. The results of the BSQ show that 70, 42% are under the Q1 value (76, 5), 28, 87% are near the median value or the value given to Q2 (119) and the remaining percentage (0, 7%) are over the value given to the upper quartile (Q3= 161, 5). The most widely used strategies observed in the coping scale were: worrying, finding difficulty in concentrating to solve problems, belonging search, having positive thinking, spending time with close friends, struggling and succeeding and looking for relaxing and physical entertainment in all the sample.

The objective of this research work was the application of a program of psychological intervention, using the Technique of Jacobson's Progressive Relaxation in sportsmen of a football team. The sample was made up of 16 male adolescents of a football team from Mendoza, with ages ranging from 16 to 17 years old. In the phases of pre-intervention and post-intervention, the Analogical Scale of Performance and the Inventory of Situations and Responses of Anxiety (ISRA) by Miguel Tobal y Cano Vidal (1986) were administered. In the follow-up phase, only the ISRA was applied because the subjects were not competing. After the application of this technique, the results indicated that through relaxation, a positive effect on the decrease of levels of Cognitive, Physiological and Motor Anxiety, and a high sport performance were obtained.
