Identifying the factors that influence young Mexicans' choice of career is essential to generate strategies able to attract new students to science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). The objective of this study was to develop and verify the psychometric properties (realibility and construct validity) of the scales "Student peer support" (APE-STEM) and "Outcome expectations" (EXREC-STEM) in high school students' choice of STEM college degrees by generating a structural equation model. Likert scales were administered to 167 students from rural and urban schools in southeastern Mexico. The results of the exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses show adequate fit and an internal consistency of a = .82 and .84, confirming the empirical soundness of the model and leading to the conclusion that these scales are highly reliable for use in this context.

Introduction. Since late 2020, educational institutions in Mexico have faced to a complicated challenge because of the wave of COVID-19 infections, causing most schools to close their facilities and offer their distance education service. However, there was a negative impact that was highly evident: not allowing students to practice in laboratories, workshops, and even personal interaction was suspended. This event generated diverse phenomena such as depression, academic lag, absenteeism, and desertion, among other cases. These events in turn, led to the search for alternatives for a safe return to school. Objective. Develop strategies for entering public institutions in times of COVID-19, applying a safety system using infrared thermography technology. Materials and methods. A quantitative, experimental transactional methodology was needed, as well as infrared thermography that was used for sanitary filters and temperature management of a university community. In this way, it was possible to prevent contact between people at risk of transmission and avoid contact with healthy people. Results. It is highly recommended to consider innocuousness measurements in order to achieve a calm environment, a reduction in the perception of uncertainty and stress, in addition to the fact that there were no massive transmissions of COVID, without suspending the academic activities. Conclusions. Increasing safety at admission, as well as being able to provide reliable spaces, are crucial for promoting the well-being of university communities. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper presents the results of a study aimed at identifying good practices in different systems of Vocational Education and Training (VET) around the world and in some regions of Mexico, with the purpose of designing a new vocational model for the state of Guanajuato, integrating the educational and employability dimensions, and considering the new trends in vocational systems, that have evolved from an exclusive action of educational centers, towards a new conception that integrates strategic actions carried out collaboratively by educational, governmental, social and economic actors in the region. This is a research project where a documentary analysis methodology is applied, exploring different sources and references of vocation systems that have been implemented by different countries and in other states of the Mexican Republic, to make the proposal of a new vocation model, which is the theoretical-practical reference to coordinate the actions of different actors in the region, which facilitates adequate decision-making by Guanajuato students about the continuation of their educational preparation at the high school and college levels, in addition to the best option for employment. The resulting model integrates two major conceptual axes and four subcategories in each axis, so that it is the initial input for the design of state public policies, as well as the formation of strategies in the educational, social and economic sectors of the state of Guanajuato.

This article presents the conception, advances, challenges and tensions that emerge from the proposal of an educational-pedagogical model for agroecology. For this, we present two educational experiences from micro-contexts in Mexico and Brazil, constructed by indigenous and peasant movements. One is the "U YITS KA'AN" Ecological Agriculture School, in Maní, Yucatán, Mexico, and the other is the São José High School, a rural school located in the 25 de Maio Settlement, in Madalena, Ceará, Brazil. We characterize the diversity, complexity, and combinations that permeate the strategies of the movements faced with the demand for agroecology education, and how these interface in the dispute for an educational model linked to the socio-historical context of the indigenous and peasant struggle in both countries.

The importance of forming interdisciplinary research teams is enormous because it allows its members to work flexibly in academic, scientific and sociocultural development to facilitate the exchange of information, knowledge and research experiences in order to promote joint reflection to related problems. Thus, under this methodology, the authors of this article intend to propose a deep and analytical dialogue that will recover as a central axis the issue of the intercultural for two basic fields in every society: education and health. In order to do so, we will discuss issues such as public policies emanating from national states; of the role played by institutions and organizations responsible for regulating the issue of higher education and health (WHO, UNESCO, PAHO) and, on the other hand, we will refer experiences and regional methodologies, developed in Mexico and Brazil to generate alternative practices and models that They respond to the cultural peculiarities of a certain social group.

This article analyzes the Mexican student movement of 1968 and, more specifically, the protestors' different assessments of the role of education in social transformation. Based on a historical and qualitative methodology, supported by primary and secondary sources as well as interviews of specialists, it locates the Mexican movement among the great struggles that Latin America experienced during the final quarter of the 20th century. In doing so, it identifies the features the movement shared with other great student uprisings in the región and characterizes the four main demands that it defended: protection of democratic freedoms, preservation of university autonomy, construction of university militancy, and greater popular participation in the movement. This strategy will make it possible to conclude that for many of the protestors, although never for all of them, education could indeed collaborate in the task of forming more just societies, either by contributing knowledge so as to eliminate ignorance, or by providing tools to end domination.

A number of master degrees in Mexico include territory approaches in their programs in the main to provide specialized skills to their students so they can contribute on local development from their current jobs. The objective of this study lays in first place in determine the capacities that students from territory master degrees obtain, and in second place to show how their individual capacities transform into collective ones. Two case studies that make use of information from the departments of education, and semi-structured interviews were handled. The general results highlight: (a) territory master degrees respond to local education demands, and have a strong link to its with local context; (b) among the graduates, capacities stand the interdisciplinary and cognitive skills; (c) the transformation from individual to collective capabilities is conditioned by exogenous factors, however the case studies shows that this process always depends on the local resources in which they were developed.

Studies on the presidency of Lázaro Cárdenas (1934–40) have tended to emphasise popular support for the Cardenista regime while underestimating the domestic opposition to the president. The story of Enrique Rodríguez (‘El Tallarín’), a former Zapatista militant from the state of Morelos, reveals the breadth and complexity of the opposition to Cárdenas. The rebellion led by Rodríguez from 1934 to 1938 forced Cárdenas to renegotiate the terms of Zapatista loyalty to the federal government in order to secure peace in Morelos and represented a broad critique of the post-revolutionary state's advancement during the 1930s. Rodríguez stood as a defender of agrarian self-reliance, traditional chieftainship and pueblo religious liberty. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

The doctoral programs in education regarded as excellent by the public systems for accreditation in Brazil, Mexico and Argentina are identified through this exploratory study. Specifically, it describes and compares the lines of research pursued by those programs, as well as some of the characteristics of the participating teachers-researchers (quantity, extent of accreditation as researchers, quantity and characteristics of articles published). The findings are based on a documentary analysis of official information about doctoral programs and the public agencies involved, as provided on their websites. The study reveals significant data on these programs, although the information on the websites varies. It also shows they contribute to the scientific legitimacy of education as a relevant field of knowledge around which it is possible to organize academic communities that are committed to generating multidisciplinary knowledge and to training researchers in this area, which is recognized the same as other university scientific communities.

This article analyzes the iconographic construction of the image of the American Indian in Spain and Mexico. The analysis has been done using the History Textbooks in both countries in the period 1940- 1945. The aim of this report is to carry out a comparative study about one of the historical discourse items, the indian figure, as the historic-cultural identity component in the two countries. The analysis of the iconographic representation lets us appreciate, since a plastic point of view, the way in which these images contributed to shape this abstract and intangible entity that is the nation.

A questionnaire based on a knowledge and attitudes test about HIV/AIDS developed by the Center of Regional Research "Dr. Hideyo Noguchi" was applied to 228 students enrolled in three "escuelas de educación normal" (which are schools for aspiring teachers) in the state of Yucatán, Mexico. Results show that there is basic adequate knowledge of the topic of HIV/AIDS. A consciousness regarding the use of condoms was appreciated in the findings although women demonstrated having more information on the use of condoms than men. When it comes to attitudes, both genders report favorable perceptions towards people who live with the virus. In terms of sexual behavior, the students in this sample showed low, medium, and high risk conducts, being some of them more frequent in one gender than in the other. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The objective of this study is to know and to understand how men with hemophilia experience sexual activity in the city of Villahernosa, Tabasco, in Mexico. This is a qualitative investigation, in which 6 men older than 20 participated in an anonymous and individual interview to obtain relevant data on their perceptions and experience about sexuality. Results show that there are factors that limit these men's sexuality. Among these factors are: fear of getting hurt during intercourse, fear of rejection, fear of transmitting HIV to their partners (in the cases of men who lived with HIV), as well as restriction of their movements (as a consequence of hemophilia). This study also shows the prevalence of myths and prejudices surrounding sexuality, patients' little tolerance to conflict, and the represion of sexual desires and needs due to their lack of sexuality education and the fact that they have been overprotected since they were vey young.

This a historical research that uses a history model called "History of the Annals". The author reviewed periodic publications of the 19+ century, focusing on what is criticized on the basis of gender as well as on the topic of police detentions and small crimes in Mexico City. From this analysis derives a theoretical discussion on the limitations that gender stereotypes impose on human beings. The article concludes with an educational proposal called "an astereotypical education of genders"; if this proposal were implemented, it is thought, many gender-based limitations that affect men and women would be modified.
