The present work aims to describe the bases of analysis of the recreation of the teaching profession in the current scenarios. The main theory from which we start is to understand that both modalities are mutually feedback. Four dimensions were established for the analysis: planning, didactic dialogue, modes of representation of the contents and evaluation. Thus, a research project is proposed in the framework of the construction of the final thesis of the Master in Educational Technology dictated by the University of Buenos Aires, in Argentina. In the future, it is expected to be able to communicate the results obtained. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The title of this work paraphrases Freud's Civilization and its Discontents (1930) (1) in reference to a feature of the Argentine educational system. We use the term "Culture" in the Freudian regulatory sense, i.e., as a set of restrictive norms for the human drives. In the social imaginary, the school embodies the culture however, we find that the teacher once a representative pillar is missing its legitimacy. What used to be unquestionable is now appealed by society. The teacher is annoyed with the system, shaken by several aspects that range from its working conditions to its knowledge. This work analyzes the teacher's subjectivity in the current educational system regarding the undergone transformations of its task: the society imposes values and a frantic pace turning the former vocation into a job that regards the teacher as an object. We pose the uprising of a teacher as the wish subject through reformulating some of the old school standards and trying to build or find out its vocation within a new meaning demanding context.

The following research article examines what parents, teachers and children think about television, based on a series of theoretical and empirical studies. The objective is to compare the three perspectives, before going on to test and compare the theoretical findings in the field. Although the studies in question focus on different geographic regions and different social groups, they reveal clear coincidences that are quite significant. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
