The purpose of this article is to reflect on some relevant aspects that are part of the emotional dimension in order to understand, from a complex perspective, that framework that is interconnected as a fundamental element for the integral development of the human being. In addition, the existing link between emotion and art will be discussed as a means to express and represent the deepest thoughts and its relationship with educational processes for the accompaniment and support of children and young people in the recognition and regulation of what is feels, bearing in mind the current scenario where the predominance of rationality, instrumentalization and mercantilism have reduced the true meaning of teaching, which leads to facing new challenges in the search for a more humane education.

The main aim of the following article is to analyze the current paths taken by gender education in Brazil in the face of offensives mounted by conservative movements, which position themselves against such a debate in school institutions, as well as in light of the urgent need for government coordination to establish new guidelines for preventing such a problem, based on the new Law 14.164/21 which, by determining the inclusion in school curricula of subjects related to the prevention of violence against women, children, and teenagers, broke new ground by creating a systematized network of protection for vulnerable groups, refuting any kind of sociopolitical ideological argument that prevents the implementation of educational policies designed to overcome gender inequalities in the country. To this end, the article has been divided into two sections, in which the first seeks to identify the history of gender politics in Brazil’s education system, among disputes, resistance, and setbacks, while the second evaluates the need for school design with a gender-based perspective and under feminist educational practices. The research poses the question: Notwithstanding the rise in gender studies in Brazil, what are the key aspects of an educational structure featuring a gender-based perspective? The research here is qualitative, using the hypothetical-deductive method as well as bibliographic and exploratory research techniques. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The use of social networks by high school students from National Police schools in Bogotá includes the identification of possible gaps in cybersecurity issues, despite programmes and strategies related to responsible use when browsing cyberspace. This research is based on the comprehensive-interpretive (sociological) paradigm with a mixed approach of qualitative predominance. A documentary review, a student survey and an in-depth interview with parents and speakers were carried out. The findings were grouped into two categories; cybersecurity and education. The results of the survey showed hyper-connectivity on the part of the students; the interaction carried out through social networks, especially through the exchange of photos, videos, sharing statuses and making video calls. The findings of the interview express that, although each educational establishment is autonomous, among parents, caregivers and teachers an expressly defined route is not clear to follow when evidencing emerging dangers to the use evidenced in social networks. There is also a lack of greater co-responsibility when identifying certain types of behaviour that threaten students, given that some parents consider that it is an issue that the school should take care of, while teachers believe that it is the parents' responsibility. In conclusion, the need to assess the degree of acceptance, the effectiveness and the scope of strategies developed by schools and private or government entities, with respect to raising awareness on cybersecurity issues and responsible use when browsing the Internet, is revealed.

The COVID-19 pandemic obliged Argentina to adopt distance learning to continue university classes during 2020. In this article, a study is presented on the perceptions and perspectives of the faculty in the School of Education Sciences of the Universidad Nacional de Entre Ríos regarding this emergency educational virtualization. The methodology regards a case study. For the collection of information, a virtual survey was used that led to a qualitative and quantitative analysis of the responses. A statistical analysis of language patterns was implemented through the program Linguistic Inquiry and Word Count in order to examine affective, cognitive, and social processes linked to the use of technologies during the pandemic. The results indicate that, whereas the faculty had available technologies, abilities to use them, and an appropriate institutional environment, in that moment emerging difficulties manifested related to the conditions of livability and the possibilities of spatial-temporal organization for carrying out telework. It is concluded that extracognitive factors, such as domestic conditions and perceptions of virtuality in teaching, are two unavoidable aspects for moving towards modalities with a higher degree of mediatization during the post-pandemic period.

The aim of this research is to introduce the ideal lecture technique to the literature by explaining the anatomy of the skeletal system using the classical method, video-assisted method and 3D imaging techniques. The research was carried out with 180 students. The number of samples was determined by power analysis (a=0.05,b=0.20, effect size=0.25). Participants were pre-screened and divided into 4 groups with the closest group mean (group 1: control group: the group that did not take anatomy lessons, group 2: video-assisted anatomy education, group 3: 3D anatomy course, group 4: classical anatomy education group). The courses in the training groups were organised as 4 hours/day, 2 days/week for 5 weeks. At the end of the course, the students were re-examined and scaled to determine the difference in scores and self-efficacy between the groups. A one-way ANOVA test was performed because the data were normally distributed when comparing between groups. The mean scores were calculated as group 1=30.22±6.24, group 2=39.02±9.15, group 3=49.77±9.20 and group 4=59.28±8.95. In the post hoc comparison, in pairwise comparisons between all groups, the differences were highly significant (p<0.001). According to the results of the self-efficacy scale, the groups were ranked as group 4>group 3>group 2>group 1 (p<0.001). According to the results of this study, the laboratory method in skeletal anatomy teaching is the best alternative to 3D anatomy teaching. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The implementation of distance courses has allowed knowledge to reach a greater number of students immediately, in addition to this, it allows us to access information at the convenience of the participants, so the specific schedules, which promote a greater opening in the accesses and the way in which knowledge can be generated, is not married to a place, a time or a style, which is why it is increasingly necessary to be able to implement strategies that In addition, they generate real knowledge and a substantial use of the contents that are being shown, together with a wide range of strategies that range from the topics themselves, the reinforcement of activities through innovative technological tools and feedback and/or relevant evaluations to indicate the level of achievement that the student had within the specified period and that will allow him to continue advancing to reach his goal. Objectives, Methodology. The main objective of carrying out this work is to show the importance in the implementation of distance courses with the use of technological innovation tools, the advantages of students learning according to their needs and the advantages of having these important tools. support in educational instruction; In addition to presenting a representative sample on the application of a research technique that allows us to observe -by its results- that distance education has had a beneficial impact even more with the use of technological innovation tools in terms of promoting this instruction. in Higher Education Schools. Contribution. It seeks to demonstrate in a broad way, that encouraging students who cannot attend school in the required times, to seek education online, can help them obtain a degree without having to put aside meeting their needs through a job, distance education, will allow them to satisfy their self-realization needs and they will be able to collaborate significantly in the achievement of their mediumterm objectives.

The article proposes to look at entrepreneurship in the educational field; with children and adolescents as target; transcending the creation of a business itself, since it focuses on finding own-motivations that have to be developed to contribute to psychological well-being, human and social development, while promoting the development of autonomy, creativity, participation, proactivity. Two experiences of projects with these characteristics are exposed, although with differentiated qualities both of their audiences and of the objectives that are proposed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This study aims to present the extent to which online education influenced the level of empathy displayed by university students. The research relies on a self-evaluated applied survey in two European countries: Portugal and Romania. The participants in this research are 1,085 students enrolled in Communication Studies programs. The purpose of this study is to unfold the connection between gender, exposure to digital technology, empathy level according to the Basic Empathy Scale applied to young adults, and online education self-perception that involves the use of webcams. Empathy can have positive effects on students’ satisfaction and increase students’ outcomes. The shift from a physical environment to a digital one brought significant challenges that most students and teachers were not ready for. The digital environment influences how empathy is expressed. The present research found evidence of a relationship between exposure to technology usage, emotional contagion, and gender. This suggests that understanding the emotions of others might be inhibited during digital education. Also, the most relevant factor of empathy variation in online education is gender. The findings of the present research may contribute to the design of activities or programs that could foster empathy expression during online education for young adults. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The dissertation is framed in the dynamic relationship between humanism and the humanities in their concordant study of contemporary problems of various orders in a possible approach to those of a nature related to the human being. If humanism is a peculiar and specific attitude and even an aptitu of the cultivated spirit, culture turns out to be a system of values in constant evolution and perpetually threatened. Or as Alfred Weber defines it so profoundly "the form of expression and liberation of the soul in a given time and within the existential, material or spiritual substance that is offered to it. The humanities-humanism relationship is the one that exists between a series of intellectual and strictly aesthetic disciplines and the attitude of those who consider it fundamental for the cultured man and for the society to which he belongs. The "studia humanitatis" or, for short, "humanities", consist of the study of classical languages and the masterpieces of Greco-Roman literature. That is why Bruni (1444) stated that "the studia humanitatis are so called because they lead man to his complete improvement", and Picino (1499) affirms that "the humanities fertilize man, because they allow him to be original and to be creative". The present manuscript of humanism and humanities in their relationship with the social problems of the present cannot be fruitful if the question is formulated: In the present time, do we need a classical humanism, better than a neo-humanism?.

Introduction: It is necessary to know the educational needs of pregnant women after the Covid-19 pandemic. Objectives: To know the educational needs of pregnant women and their preferred mans to receive that education. Method: Descriptive study through virtual survey with purposive sampling and snowball call towards pregnant women who had their deliveries during the pandemic, as well as healthcare workers dedicated to prenatal and delivery care. Educational needs, types of content and the preferred way to receive it were found out. Results: A total of 144 women participated, 34 (23.61%) pregnant and 110 (76.39%) mothers, between 17-34 years old. They stated that they needed education on prenatal/delivery care: 113 (78.47%), breastfeeding: 109 (75.69%), baby care: 108 (75.00%) maternity and Covid-19): 90 (62.50%), prevention of Covid-19 transmission to the baby, 85 (59.03%) and mental health: 79 (54.86%). They would prefer videos 114 (54.86%), by WhatsApp: 106 (73.61%) and email 82 (56.94%). Conclusions: Pregnant women, mothers need education on pregnancy care, but also on Covid-19 prevention. They suggest videos through social networks. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article presents the emerging findings of a doctoral research, in a specific aspect of it, focused on identifying the perceptions some university students, enrolled in the BA in Foreign Languages of a public university in Medellín (Antioquia), have about citizenship training. A total of 23-third semester students of the degree program, with prior informed consent, answered an open-ended question questionnaire applied in the classroom based on qualitative research procedures. The findings allow us to identify that regarding the participating students' perception, citizenship education is structured along the following thematic lines: 1) it is assumed as fundamental knowledge and as education in society; 2) it has an emphasis on teaching and learning; 3) it is supported by community and values in favor of peaceful coexistence; 4) it is favored thanks to pedagogical and didactic aspects - content and interactive strategies- and by the relationship with a foreign language, culture, daily life, and coexistence.

The research aims to recognize the incidence of human development as a pedagogical strategy to strengthen the academic processes of educational institutions. The paradigm is interpretive, from the qualitative approach; the strategy is documentary. The findings showed that the human development of the teachers participating in the study is a determining factor in helping to improve the academic pedagogical processes of the institution, since this endows them with the competencies so that the students perceive in them an example, a support and a person they can trust. As a conclusion of evidence, personal satisfaction is a relevant component of human development, since it leads teachers to feel happy, I adjust in their work what is observed in a more open, conciliatory, responsible, ethical and creative attitude of teachers, turning their own being into a motivating pedagogical strategy that facilitates the learning process of students.

In the late 20th century, Colombian economists identified a strong link between education and poverty reduction. However, despite a significant expansion of educational coverage, poverty levels have not declined as predicted. This problem extends beyond Colombia and has prompted the development of economic theories, focusing on factors such as early school dropout, market imperfections, increased uncertainty, and the costs of education, all of which contribute to the enigma of poverty traps. Methods: Using a quantitative approach, the research analyzes the relationship between educational attainment, employment opportunities, and socioeconomic background of the younger population. In addition, it explores the drivers of labor market inequality, with particular emphasis on social class divisions and the role of social networks in shaping access to employment. Results: Preliminary results highlight a persistent disconnect between increased education and labor market integration among Colombia's poorest youth. The study identifies a clear association between social class segregation and differential access to employment, accentuating the influential role of social connections in obtaining job opportunities. Conclusions: This research unveils the complexities surrounding poverty traps in Colombia, elucidating why improved education has not translated into the expected reduction of impoverished. It underscores the imperative need to take an in-depth look at the policy challenges facing the country. By addressing the barriers to labor market access for the most vulnerable, this study contributes significantly to the broader discourse on the intricate relationship between education and poverty reduction in Colombia. The findings are also relevant for other countries facing similar challenges and offer valuable insights for policymakers and researchers alike. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this article we study the particularities of editorial practice in contexts of confinement in Argentina through the systematization and analysis of five publications, already published or in the process of being published, which were formulated within the framework of pedagogical-political practices carried on by the Prisons Extension Program of the Philosophy and Literature Faculty of the University of Buenos Aires. These five cases will be addressed in order to observe what meanings guide the editorial processes through the marks imprinted on them by the specificity of the writing that summons them and the territory to which they belong. Publishing in the context of a pedagogical project developed by the university configures collective territories where writing and publications can display and carry plural voices, which are strengthened in that plurality forged in the heat of individual and collective subjectivation processes made possible by education and writing. Editorial practice is inseparably intertwined with actions aimed at defending rights, narrating lived experiences and building a collective history which are part of the desires and expectations regarding publication.

This work proposes to research the meanings constructed by prison authorities about the socio-educational practices implemented by institutions, organizations, and heterogeneous actors in contexts of punitive confinement, and their relationship with the construction of the prison order. Institutionalized and formalized spaces such as primary and secondary education, experiences organized by university actors, and "non-formal" educational practices, compose the contemporary educational-prison framework. The central hypothesis is that the definitions of prison managers, introducing differentiations, hierarchies and evaluations, manage to enroll educational practices as substantial devices for the construction and legitimization of the prison order. Legitimation process that gain a weak character, given by three interrelated dimensions: degrees of institutionalization, statehood and criticality that the authorities recognize in the educational actors involved. Starting from an interpretative paradigm, this paper will focus its empirical references on observations and in-depth interviews with directors of three prisons, two for men (one medium security and the other maximum security) and one for women, but it falls within the partial results of a research project carried out during the period 2018-2022, in five prisons in the south of the province of Santa Fe (Argentina).

Citizenship education of children and young people presents challenges for both educational and political systems globally. The current political and social crisis has led the discussion on citizenship as situated in cultural and historic contexts. Therefore, citizenship can be defined in different ways. Furthermore, citizenship can be developed in different spaces, and studied from the standpoint of its role and the topics it encompasses. This article aims at reflecting on the field of citizenship and education using a wide perspective. For this reason, it advances on a multidimensional map on the traits related to citizenship and the challenges that citizens face on the 21st century. Starting from the notions of Nation-State, of political systems (even those different from Western democracies), and the concept citizenship in a global context we explore different spaces for citizenship socialization (families, schools, local communities, peers, among others. We also consider the normative, attitudinal, and active roles that mark both citizenship and citizenship education, as well as a sample of the myriad of topics that fit within the study of citizenship education currently in the world. Through this mapping of dimensions, roles and topics we propose some challenges for this research field, and we delve into the specific contribution of each one of the seven articles included in this special issue. Finally, and as a conclusion, we delineate some of the research challenges for the future agenda to expand the studies of citizenship beyond the liberal democracy conceptions, allowing to study other forms of political organization, understanding their historical and cultural roots, and the way in which citizenship is built from childhood onwards.

This article aims to understand strategies used by teachers for literacy training among immigrant children, in the city of Videira, SC. The research was built based on the discussions presented in the report of the Observatory of International Migrations (OBMIGRA, 2021), Municipal Law No. 4,063/22, which establishes the municipal policy for the immigrant population. A qualitative approach is presented, based on interviews carried out with teachers and observation in their respective classes. Results demonstrate a disarticulation of educational policies, which affects the performance of teachers, who often seek alternative means of literacy for immigrant children, showing that the literacy of these students is a project that aims only at the acquisition of the Portuguese language as a means of learning, silencing their mother tongue and culture.

This is a bibliographical and documentary analysis research, seeking, in references, the authors' perspectives on teaching to read and write and literacy, especially in the early years of Elementary School. This article aims to analyze the concepts of teaching to read and write and literacy present in works by renowned authors in brazilian academic production about national literacy and to identify in which methodological sphere each author is found, in addition to analyzing documents such as the National Common Curricular Base (BNCC, in portuguese) and the National Literacy Policy (PNA, in portuguese), in order to observe what they name as literacy methodology. During the analysis, it was possible to perceive that they do not refer to methodologies to become literate, they only guide, in some aspects, literacy. It was possible to perceive that the authors selected as a research source consider different methodologies, however most of them are preferable to the analytical method. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Background: The lack of information associated with donation is devastating for those patients in need of a transplant and requires a solution based on changing social perception through educational interventions. Objective: Determine the level of knowledge of the general population after an educational intervention about organ and tissue donation at the Hospital de Cardiología UMAE No. 34. Material and methods: Educational intervention study with measurement before and after, prospective. Instrument validated using the Kuder-Richardson formula with a reliability coefficient of 0.74. The study population was made up of the general population in the waiting rooms at UMAE No. 34, only the associations with values of p < 0.05 were considered statistically significant. Results: 266 evaluation instruments were applied to 133 participants. The educational intervention contributed to an increase in the level of knowledge (p = 0.0001). The level of knowledge after the intervention was higher in the younger participants (p = 0.013) and in those with a university studies (p = 0.0001). The relation between age and the level of subsequent knowledge showed favorable significance in the intention to donate in younger participants with high subsequent knowledge (p = 0.046). Conclusions: An educational intervention on donation of organs and tissues for transplant purposes is an effective strategy to increase and reinforce the knowledge of the general population.

This article is the result of studies carried out in the elective course entitled Historical-Dialectic Materialism: for a methodological understanding, carried out in the Graduate Program in Education (PPGE) of the Federal University of Amazonas (UFAM), in the line of research Education, State and Society in the Amazon. The study aims to present considerations about the Historical-Dialectic Materialism method and its contributions to the realization of scientific research in the field of education. Methodologically, it is a theoretical-bibliographical study based on works by authors such as Gatti (1999, 2012); Marx and Engels (1999); Oliveira (1998); Netto (2011); Groppo (2019); Almeida e Costa (2021); Silva and Hermida (2021), among others. These authors present a critical perspective on the conception of the world, society, and education, making it possible to think about the construction of scientific research guided by a method that also defines a political choice. In this sense, the act of researching constitutes a challenging process faced by many researchers, mainly due to the understanding of the object of study and the definition of the investigation method, therefore, it is concluded that Historical-Dialectic Materialism makes it possible to think about the construction of scientific research in education based on a critical perspective, constituting it as a political act.

In this work we make an approximation to Modernity or Enlightenment. We maintain that the enlightened project is a value that must be claimed and promoted through education. Similarly, we present some of its most characteristic features: centrality of reason, anthropocentrism, science and technology and emphasis on democracy and universal ethics. Finally, we make a critical assessment of Modernity. We highlight the elements that need to be promoted through university education and those that need to be toned down. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Reflective practice is considered an element that underlies the design and implementation of the different courses for learning to teach a discipline, which coherently configure teacher education programs. This manuscript attempts to document the main elements that structure reflexivity as a socio-cognitive tool, whose progressive appropriation stresses and helps to develop the system of knowledge, beliefs, and values about the teaching-learning of a discipline, aspects with which teachers arrive at the training and professional development programs. In these programs, education is considered as a practical discipline that allows teachers to face uncertain and complex problems during planning and teaching, for which there is no pre-designed solution. The construction of this is mediated by the deliberate process of reflection for, in and on the action. These kinds of reflexivity can begin to be appropriated by the teacher along a continuum that begins with technical reflection, moves through the practice, and ends with critique, in order to identify and develop the knowledge bases for teaching a discipline within the framework of educational, ethical and social issues.

The following article presents the construction of knowledge and agroecological understandings as an innovation for business models in the communities of Silvia (Cauca, Colombia). Thisexercise was generated from the use of the tool of a business model puzzle. As a result of this dialogical process, business models such as Agrotourism; Dairy Transformation; Educating seeds for life; Namuy Urekmeran Kusrenep Srenaway Asi Isua; and Own Gastronomy, Nachak, were obtained. In addition, it is recognized by the participants that the technological tool is useful for planning a community economy; however, the term business model is not used in the territory, but rather as a marketing process or community economy, aimed at strengthening food sovereignty in the territory. In this way, it allowed to agree on the community economy processes that would make the by-products useful and incorporate them into new processes, in order to improve living conditions, keeping in mind the common vision and interest of building a society in harmony with the nature.

The school period is fundamental in the process of personal formation. The objective was to evaluate the sociodemographic, social and oral factors associated with self-confidence among high school students. This is a cross-sectional and analytical study carried out with 385 adolescents, between 14 and 18 years old, from eight state schools in the municipality of Piracicaba, São Paulo, Brazil. The dependent variable was self-confidence (high or low) and the independent variables included sociodemographic, social and oral factors. To assess the association between the variables, simple and multiple logistic regression was performed, with variables with p=0.05 remaining in the final model after adjusting for the other variables. In the final model, it was found that low self-confidence was associated with students who did not live with their biological parents (2.73; 95% CI: 1.58-4.72), who have already missed school because of bullying (2, 38; 95% CI: 1.25-4.52), who have already been bullied for their weight (2.14; 95% CI: 1.21-3.77), who have already been bullied due to their teeth, chin or lips (3.76; 95% CI: 2.07-6.81) and who rated their oral health as fair or poor (2.03; 95% CI: 1.03-4.00). It is concluded that the sociodemographic, social and oral factors related to bullying were associated with low self-confidence in high school students. It highlights the importance of determinants related to oral health in the self-confidence of adolescents, in an educational context, a fact that can influence the entire life of the individual.

This paper analyzes the development of Latin America over the past three decades by using growth incidence curves and weighted growth rates calculated on the basis of harmonized microdata from national household surveys. Over the past three decades, Latin America has made progress in fundamental socioeconomic indicators. On average, there has been significant growth in income as well as some educational and housing variables, particularly among the lower income strata. In contrast, progress was slower among the most vulnerable population in other important areas (e.g., higher education, female labor participation). Despite notable improvements in various areas of development captured through household surveys, the evidence reveals that substantial shortfalls and disparities still persist.

This study was aimed at assessing the economic literacy in Colombian sixth-grade students. To do so, a quantitative-descriptive-type of research with convenience sampling, both for the two participating institutions and the children, was conducted. The Child Economic Literacy Scale was administered to fifty-five students via virtual means. The results indicate that the participants mostly achieved a medium level of this attribute, with a complete absence of high-performance levels; no significant differences were found regarding gender. Similarly, participants from the private educational institution mostly scored at a low level of economic literacy, while those from the public institution scored at a medium level. It can be concluded that there is limited knowledge regarding the economic world among students, highlighting the need for economic education within school contexts. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The OECD's PISA tests currently represent a point of reference when it comes to evaluating education systems. This international test arouses great interest and debate not only in public opinion, but also in the academic field, from where research is published in various areas of study. For this reason, the purpose of this article is to analyze the trends in the literature on the PISA tests to determine how it has been approached in the last 21 years in research journal articles. The method used consisted of a bibliographic review from the Scopus database, which is complemented by an analysis of bibliometric networks where the co-occurrence of words, the journals with the greatest impact, and a study of the most cited authors and documents are analyzed. The result of this text is that, on the one hand, the articles are framed mainly in methodological aspects, the impact and the results of the tests, and on the other, that the articles on PISA deal mostly with studies and research from European countries, with low incidence in investigations of Latin American countries.

This article aims to reflect on the existing correspondence between education and democracy based on the theoretical, political, and philosophical proposals elaborated by Dewey and Freire, who acknowledge that the school is a construct of citizenship. The methodology used in this research was qualitative with a hermeneutic-interpretative approach. The applied technique involved analytical review of documentary records, allowing for direct and synthetic analysis of various online documents, supporting the reflection in a pragmatic, transformative, and sociopedagogical dialogue. The results show that democratic participation and the construction of citizenship entail an ethical identity in the realm of diversity. Moreover, educating for democracy faces modern challenges oriented toward the development of democratic values, habits, and attitudes. It is concluded that education requires shaping practices involving inclusivity, dialogue, autonomy, critical thinking, otherness, diversity, participation, representation, and deliberation, but above all, education in politics.

Schools in general and universities in particular are sources of multiple and varied social interactions, they nurture the social and individual life of each student, making a substantial part of their professional training and building their future as people. However, the environment created by the COVID-19 pandemic suddenly disrupted attendance at schools and universities and, for students, cut short the processes of social interaction that lead to continued socialization. Taking these circumstances into account, we present a tutoring proposal that is carried out based on the pedagogy of hospitality as an educational, ethical and committed response to the recognition of others.

Introduction: Cardiovascular diseases represent the leading cause of death worldwide, and education interventions are an effective measure to control modifiable risk factors in patients undergoing cardiac rehabilitation; therefore, studying this phenomenon allows expanding the tools to face this situation. Objective: To determine the impact of educational interventions to foster health in patients undergoing cardiac rehabilitation. Materials and methods: A scientific literature review was conducted in the PubMed, SciELO, LILACS, EBSCO, MEDES, CUIDEN, Dialnet, ScienceDirect and CUIDATGE databases, based on the PRISMA statement proposal for systematic reviews, registered in the Prospero database (CRD42023398444). The Jadad scale was used for the methodological assessment, according to the peer approach. Results: The initial search yielded 14,849 publications, with 10 of them meeting the inclusion criteria. The mean age of the sample population was 63 years old, male gender. Telemedicine and education software design were resources to implement the interventions, finding a reduction in hospitalizations for cardiac reasons. Regarding mental health, long-term reductions in anxiety and depression were found. Conclusions: The time until the first cardiovascular hospitalization was 502 (469-535) days in the Intervention Group, against 445 (400-491) days in the Control Group. When evaluating medication adherence, it was evidenced that 94 % of the participants had improvements. Regarding cardiovascular risk stratification, both the intervention (26 %) and the control (6 %) groups shifted to the lower-risk class. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Education has repercussions in the progress of a nation, it is a fundamental right that frees thought and becomes a cultural factor and promoter of economic, technological, scientific, political, social, human capital development and other elements that allow social well-being from a country. Hence, the purpose of this essay is to reflect on the pedagogical practice of the teachers of the Elementary School “Marcos Daniel Hernández Brito”, located in the Páez municipality of Apure State, incidence on the quality of education. For this, the teacher’s practice is considered as the work or activity carried out by the teacher in his daily life at the time of teaching classes and involves the so cial, historical and institutional context with which he achieves the understanding of the world where the teaching and learning processes take place, identifies those factors that intervene positively or negatively in the educational quality and affect the psychosocial, affective and cognitive development of the students and in their integral formation. All these considerations make the teacher a fundamental part of the educational process; that is, a guide, mediator and facilitator of culture, which, given his importance, is a reference and model for its students and society. The above allows us to recognize that in order to improve the educational quality it is necessary for the teaching professional to have the tools, capacities, strategies, means and resources necessary to carry out their work efficiently and pertinently. This requires greater efforts from those involved in educational matters. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The coronavirus pandemic generated globalized effects in sectors such as education, which led to the choice of decisive paths in the academic, social, and emotional life of children; as were the permanence and educational abandonment. This document is the result of an analysis of various sources and actors, who expose the many difficulties of the educational process during times of pandemic; seeks to interpret the impact of the pandemic on school dropout or permanence in the childhood of the Awá Indigenous Community of the Gran Sábalo reservation, in order to generate a pedagogical proposal that covers childhood and promotes stability in the integral development of these indigenous cultures.

This article discusses cartography and geographical education, considering cartography as one of the languages of Geography, particularly in school contexts. It explores initial understandings of this relationship based on the premises of geographical education. The paper presents a school atlas of the municipality of Ijuí-RS, designed for elementary school students, and shares results from interviews with teachers highlighting their memories and current teaching approaches. The data reflects the reality of school education, which is traditionally characterized by cartography as a visual element with practices such as coloring maps and compass roses, and drawing outlines, serving as an aid in various disciplinary contents with an interdisciplinary character; and more recently, as an instrumental and technological tool in the context of active methodologies, and as a language of geography for conducting geographical analyses. The conclusion is that in school cartography, it is important to nurture the idea of cartographic literacy, reinforcing the habit of spatial awareness, thereby constructing spatial thinking that integrates information with a critical attitude, producing knowledge guided by geographical thought.

The world has undergone significant changes since the start of the covid-19 pandemic, these have mostly affected the educational sector, whether they are students and teachers, the latter have perceived a decrease in the quality of life when facing various challenges related to the use information and telecommunications technologies to work effectively virtually. Thus, a comparative study of the quality of work life and the effects of covid-19 was carried out among professors from universities in the states of Sonora and Sinaloa. To carry out this quantitative exploratory study, a validated instrument was applied that allowed evaluating the dimensions of quality of life, quality of work life, organizational management and organizational development of 371 workers from both universities, finding similar results in both universities in the variables analyzed and in conclusion, these dimensions are perceived in a high level in both institutions, with the exception of quality of life, which is at a medium level, also slight differences were found depending on the age and level of study of the participants.

We belong to a time when everything is questionable, and the truth seems threatened. Gramsci's admonition is fulfilled: "The old is dying and the new cannot be born; in this interregnum a great variety of morbid symptoms appear." The pragmatism of our time prefers useful lies to the moral value of truth, manipulating emotions that the public is not capable of detecting or does not have the time to value. "We live in a world in which the highest function of a character is to allow the reality to disappear, and at the same time, to mask the disappearance at that." To define this type of "farce," the term post-truth is used, which is presented as an interpretable truth that is not due to demonstrable facts, and as just another consumer product, an apparent truth to the liking of postmodern man. In the post-truth era, schools must help students discern the information they receive from the media and learn to look for evidence of the truth. Given the broad access to digital media available to students, these assessment skills are more necessary today than ever. If children are the future, the future could be poorly informed, but can we do something? [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This work uses statistical techniques to determine the value added to the Quantitative Reasoning competence of the undergraduate students of the Universidad Católica Luis Amigó, Medellín, Colombia, in 2021. The statistical comparison is made graphically on a Cartesian plane by quintiles using the standard deviations of the Saber11 test and the institutional test scores taken in the fifth semester of undergraduate students. The value added is observed in the first two quintiles only, where 40 % of the lowest qualifications accumulate; however, in this study, it increases by 4 % in the top 20% of scores. Also, a predictive model for this competence is developed, and linearity, normality, independence of residuals, collinearity, and homoscedasticity are verified. Finally, this model shows acceptable results in the quantitative reasoning competence of the Universidad Católica Luis Amigó students. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The new technologies have contributed to increased autonomy for people with disabilities and to the reduction of their technological gap through the acquisition of digital skills, which has enhanced their dignity in society and reinforced inclusive social values. Moreover, there continues to be a gap between the personal identity of people with disabilities and their own social construction. Although the negative image conveyed by the media in the past has nearly disappeared, the dichotomous depiction of people with disabilities as either heroes or victims continues to obstruct their inclusion in the public sphere. Despite this situation, we see on social networks how the self-portrayal of people with disabilities is starting to promote diversity in the fields of beauty and fashion. These achievements, together with the additional impetus provided by both educational innovation programs and corporate purpose initiatives of organisations, have led to new employment opportunities that go beyond the stereotyped professions traditionally assigned to people with disabilities. The acquisition of digital skills is vital in meeting the challenges that are work-related, cultural, and social, which are being posed by the current digital environment. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Social networks as spaces for social participation are relevant to the study of inclusive employability. This research analyses publications on Twitter, Instagram and YouTube related to inclusive employment, especially those associated with people with disabilities. The aim is to identify profiles in relation to employability and disability on these digital platforms through correlations between content, sentiment, gender, influence, time and geographical space addressed from a social and employment perspective. The content collection is carried out using the Twitter API and web scraping techniques between 1 November 2021 and 31 October 2022, with a total of 109.266 publications, of which 13.887 contain keywords related to employment. The research is carried out using a mixed methodology that analyses, quantitatively, the dataset using the Power BI tool and, qualitatively, the most viral posts on each social network. This data analysis makes the invisible of network relationships visible, identifying patterns of content creation and groups of influence. The results show the influence of international days on the number of altruistic publications, and a mercantile utilitarianism of inclusive employability that overshadows non-profit social diffusions. The understanding and visualization of the structure and themes intrinsic to the object of study allow us to promote inclusive employability in a more rational way and to improve communication spaces among critical digital citizens.

On other occasions we have reported the partial results of the archaeological research at the site El Divisadero (Cafayate, Salta). The purpose of this paper is to present the analysis of the archaeological collection of San Agustín School located in the mentioned site. This proposal was framed within the Open Science movement and the record of the collection is already available for the local community and for those interested in the past of the native populations of Cafayate. The project included dialogue spaces with the educational community, registering the collection and integrating it with the results of archaeological investigations. The study of the collection allowed us to advance in the interpretations about the functionality of the site, to make temporal approximations of the pre-Hispanic occupations and to contextualize the archaeological objects in local history.

Sociolinguistics is the study of the relationship between language and society. Despite the sensitivity of that interface, the organization of knowledge development is clustered in trends, or waves, that set and support a hegemony, which is maintained by the funding guidelines and the social bias that maintains the habitus. I show how education is the key to shifting agendas and recreate a path that reveals the emerging spaces of non-hegemonic agendas in Brazilian sociolinguistics. To do so, I follow the proposal of organization in waves and its resignification in the Brazilian research scenario, with special attention to the fourth wave, that of sociolinguistic activism.

In an era in which inequalities persist and with a majority of poor countries, it is urgent to expand opportunities for people in conditions of equity, sustainability and deepening of democracy. The education sector plays an important role in advancing towards a fairer world, with development and freedom, so that people can achieve valuable goals. The research was conceived from a socio-constructionist ontoepistemic perspective, starting from the discursive current of the discursive practices method and the in-depth interview technique. It is consubstantiated with the theory of human development and the Agenda 2030. We approach the narratives of six managers of the education sector, their praxis and the way in which from such narratives they build their realities and reflect on the challenges for human development and the Agenda 2030. Among the findings it was found that the instrumental freedoms of social opportunities, protective security and transparency guarantees are very limited. Little progress in the development of capacities and public policies in the sector. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This research describes in an intensive and rigorous manner how coexistence management processes are carried out in the educational center Instituto Santa María in San Carlos, Chile. A mixed methodological research approach has been proposed, using a parallel/simultaneous equivalent status design. The techniques used to obtain information were validated questionnaires given to students, teachers and families, interviews with the management team, provincial education authorities and discussion groups with students and teachers. It is concluded that the main manager of coexistence is the teacher, the lack of a coexistence program to develop it in a transversal way in the center is identified, since there are no structured formative processes, there are no preventive activities and reactive actions prevail when difficulties and conflicts that alter coexistence arise.

Interculturality is understood as a dialogical process, of encounters and disagreements, where social actors are connected in a common whole, but unlike globalization, it does not aim at the homogenization of identity and reality, but rather at the preservation of these categories, making visible the struggles for the strengthening of what is proper in the region. It is a process that cannot be considered to have evolved equitably, but rather a series of struggles for the recognition of values, worldview, relationships and thoughts of minority ethnic groups that, supported by a broad cultural legacy, face to the adversities of the Western hegemonic environment. Based on these arguments, the article proposes as a general objective to analyze the urgency of intercultural research, assuming the breadth of knowledge, the complexity of thought and the recognition of differences, in order to face the displacements of the identity, postulating the encounter between knowledge and anti-systemic practices.

The investigation presented has, as main goal, analyzing the cognitive skill levels of the evaluation criteria on the Spanish National Baccalaureate curriculum related to the historical thinking competencies. To reach that objective, we designed and validated (group of experts) an evaluation instrument (RECH, as a Spanish acronym of rubric to assess historical competencies) that shows three different cognitive skill levels for a qualitative analysis of curriculum. Two curriculum has been compared, the previous Royal Decree 1105/2014 for Secondary School and Baccalaureate, and the new Royal Decree 243/2022 for Baccalaureate School (17-18 years old). The results show a greater presence of historical thinking competencies in the new Spanish curriculum, and, at the same time, more consistent cognitive skills in the evaluation criteria.

The historical evidence of past and present centuries highlights the limitations of a presumed pedagogical science and its learning methods conceived a priori, that is, understood as a presupposed theory. In this sense, the educational method proposed by Lucien Laberthonnière (1860-1932) can be recognized as a notable and still relevant contribution. Therefore, the aim of this study is, above all, to present Laberthonnière's educational thought. Secondly, some critical reflections are intended to extend the author's lesson. If, for him, education is a collaborative effort between the authority of the educator and the freedom of the learner, is its purpose to generate civic individuals empowered to work with other people, and not against them? In this regard, it will be shown that his proposal is an education in which the method of the composed relationship between the authority of the educator and the freedom of the learner can generate civic individuals with a view to the production of universal, civilizing, benefits.
