This work analyzes the management of external digital organizational communication in the social media of university libraries belonging to the Network of Catholic and Catholic-oriented Universities of the Argentine Republic (BUCOC), and its possible relationship with the professional training of those responsible and collaborators in charge of this task. The study was carried out between July 1, 2020 and January 31, 2022, using a descriptive approach and a non-experimental design of transectional or cross-sectional type. Direct observation techniques were used for the analysis, using criteria guides to analyze websites and social media profiles, and surveys of library managers and their collaborators involved in communication management. The results reveal that most libraries use social media to promote their services, but hardly use them to establish public relations with users. Weaknesses in communication practices were identified, possibly related to the lack of training in the strategic management of digital communication. The work concludes by pointing out possible areas for future research related to the topic addressed in the study. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Introduction: the didactics of statistics in which the attitudes of the students are circumscribed is a recent field. Objective: to identify the emerging attitudes towards statistics of students who are studying public administration careers, at the Superior School of Public Administration, in Colombia. In the scientific communities there is no consensus regarding the notion of attitude, without pretending to be totalitarian, the attitude towards statistics is assumed as a starting point, as what makes the person have a predisposition to assume the activities of their interaction. Materials and methods: the study is descriptive and exploratory, supported by principal component analysis. The inventory "Attitudes Towards Statistics", which has been previously used in contexts of higher education in Argentina. Results: the study sample was incidental and not probabilistic. The statistical assumptions correspond to the Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin Measure of Sampling Adequacy 0.749. The results identify three emerging attitudes (epistemology and didactics of statistics, problem solving and task value and utility) towards statistics, with a reliability that ranges between 0.855 and 0.889 and that explains 78.445 % of the variance. Conclusions: for the study population, a favorable attitude towards the study and the involvement of statistics in their professional training are identified. Additionally, for their learning, the student body preferably identifies with the interaction through case studies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article analyzes the link between education and work in Argentina's automotive industry. It studies the evolution of occupational dynamics, based on the characterization of educational profiles deployed in various labor segments from 2006 to 2019. The article sustains that professional training offers spaces for acquiring and/or updating knowledge in a diversified system, with representative actors involved in the institutional mechanisms of education and work. Based on documentary analysis and the processing of secondary statistical data from official sources, the conclusions support the pertinence of institutional participation and mechanisms for defining the link between education and work, in which the development of professional training is central.

There are diverse positions and theories about the knowledge of teachers. This article intends to contribute to this debate through the presentation and development of a work hypothesis that sustains: teachers are capable of producing pedagogic knowledge beyond the explicit knowledge implied on their practices. That knowledge production is possible when given institutional conditions enable reflection and shared thought. The development of these ideas is articulated around a reflection on an experience shared with a group of teachers of an Educational Community Center of Buenos Aires City. [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 article presents the general guidelines and devices designed to implement an institutional program for developing academic and professional writing at Universidad Nacional de General Sarmiento (Argentina). The program integrates three traditions of teaching writing, based on genres: New Rhetoric, English for Specific Purposes, and the Theory of Genre and Register of Systemic Functional Linguistics. After contextualizing and describing the program, the bases of these perspectives are reviewed to show their articulation in various actions. The purpose is to contribute to debates in the field on academic literacy, with the idea that the relevance of the problem requires a model to elaborate the most fruitful elements of each tradition.

This work examines the professional image of school librarian of the city of Rafaela, Santa Fe. Their specific objectives are to analyse the training of librarians, the image in society, the specific role today, the communication with school headmasters, their interest in the role of school librarian, the relationship with all the educational community and library policies governing library work. This is a critical descriptive and quantitative approach and a design field that extracts data directly from reality, with the use of empirical-deductive methodological procedure. The universe of study has been determined in the city of Rafaela and the population studied is ten schools with a librarian official position and professional librarians. We conclude that the image that headmasters have of the school librarian is blurred. They recognized the professional skills of school librarians but did not offer the support and tools necessary to deploy the full potential they have. However, librarians strengthen this weakened image. Similarly, the instability in the implementation of policies from the school library and the lack of legal definition of school librarian for the State, do not provide opportunity to enhance the professional image of school librarian.

In a context of transformations in the socio-employment world, this article examines change with respect to the knowledge of work that is involved in young people’s initial employment transitions. The article is based on a qualitative study of two vocational training centers in Argentina. The question is aimed at determining the existence of a common core of required knowledge for obtaining work in the formal as well as informal spheres of employment. The results show the ways the two vocational training centers support young people in developing skills to manage their own strategies. Both centers express, during the teaching process, a common core of knowledge that is implicit in transition processes. Yet on educating young people with different profiles, for different segments of the labor market, the vocational training centers’ objectives and estimations of required knowledge also differ.
