Este trabajo tiene como objetivo indagar la relación entre feminismos y neoliberalismo a través de un abordaje basado en los conceptos de tecnología móvil (Ong, 2007) y promesa (Berlant, 2011). En esa clave, se intentará pensar la relación montaje-estructura y las formas de consenso y consentimiento que se ordenan en torno a la promesa neoliberal. Se trata de una lectura exploratoria que reúne herramientas analíticas que provienen del giro afectivo de los estudios feministas. A partir de ese entramado, se intentará explorar algunos puntos posibles de intersección entre las lógicas de producción de consenso del neoliberalismo y las estrategias feministas hegemónicas y contrahegemónicas.

La tecnología móvil ha venido evolucionando rápidamente y en la educación presenta diferentes ventajas que requieren el replanteamiento de metodologías, modernización de diseños instruccionales y estándares de educación, sin embargo, no se sabe mucho sobre la percepción que tienen los docentes en cuanto al uso de la tecnología móvil en el proceso de enseñanza, ni sobre la frecuencia de uso de las aplicaciones móviles (Apps) en el aula. De allí que este estudio tiene como objetivo el indagar sobre esta percepción. La población de estudio correspondió a 123 docentes de 12 diferentes colegios de la ciudad de Loja, quienes participaron de una encuesta. Los resultados indican que los docentes conocen de la existencia de las aplicaciones móviles y las consideran importantes en la enseñanza, pero no las utilizan.

Los contenidos digitales para niños y jóvenes son un sector que crece de manera continua, por lo que reconocer la calidad de los mismos es una tarea compleja, ya que las tiendas de aplicaciones no siempre proporcionan información clara y completa. En este contexto nacen las plataformas de recomendación de aplicaciones, sitios web dedicados a seleccionar, evaluar y reseñar los productos que día a día aparecen. Como no todos ofrecen información de la misma calidad resulta necesario estudiarlos y compararlos. Partiendo de estas consideraciones en el trabajo se evalúan veinticinco recomendadores, en base a veintisiete indicadores agrupados según se refieran a la estructura del sitio web, la información que aportan sobre el contenido y la visibilidad que consiguen en las redes sociales. La evaluación realizada muestra cuáles son los mejores recomendadores según los indicadores establecidos en el artículo.

In the last decade, a significant number of initiatives have emerged that aim to use mobile technologies and applications for educational purposes, however, the implementation has not been fully effective due to a variety of difficulties. In this work, the attitudes of students and teachers towards the use of mobile learning in institutions of higher education were explored. Samples of students and teachers from five Cajamarca universities in Peru were taken to which surveys were validated by experts and the reliability was assessed using Cronbach's alpha. It was evaluated if there are statistically significant differences between the attitudes of the students in relation to age, sex, specialty and type of mobile used. Likewise, it was evaluated whether there are statistically significant differences between teachers' attitudes regarding age, sex, university experience, academic level and type of mobile used. Student t tests and a unidirectional variance analysis (ANOVA) were performed for each indicator considered. The results revealed that there are statistically significant differences between students' attitudes regarding the type of mobile device. The emergence of mobile learning technologies had a significant impact on educational technology. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

El objetivo de este artículo es presentar de manera concisa el surgimiento y desarrollo de los atlases escolares desde el siglo XVIII hasta nuestros días. Una vez definido su significado, se presentan brevemente las tareas que se realizan durante la edición de atlases de este tipo, así como algunos ejemplos. En esencia, las etapas de la creación de un atlas escolar no han variado mucho, sin embargo los soportes en que se publican, sí. Somos testigos de la evolución de los soportes: de las ediciones impresas en papel primero, después los soportes electrónicos (CD), y actualmente la web. Se ofrecen también ideas sobre las posibilidades que pueden brindar las aplicaciones hechas para dispositivos móviles y qué nuevas investigaciones se realizan para diversificar y optimizar el uso de los atlas escolares en el futuro.

Este artículo explora el diseño y desarrollo de un innovador paradigma didáctico para segundas lenguas a distancia, social y abierto (con una triple dimensión lingüística, metodológica y tecnológica), cuyo núcleo quede definido por la tecnología móvil y el Aprendizaje de Lenguas Asistido por Móviles o MALL, no sólo como una herramienta adicional que puede ser utilizada para desempeñar ciertas tareas (de manera más o menos estructurada), sino como la principal forma en la que los estudiantes a distancia de segundas lenguas pueden interaccionar y llevar a cabo su aprendizaje de manera efectiva.

En el presente trabajo se expone un análisis acerca de cómo con el transcurrir de los últimos años, la Realidad Aumentada (Augmented Reality) RA se ha posicionado como una tecnología que se ha acercado a diferentes entornos de la sociedad, referidos a la publicidad, el mercadeo, los videojuegos y, principalmente, el impacto que ha generado en la educación. Se abordó la descripción de las plataformas de desarrollo, se aplicó el método analítico en el proceso investigativo y se presenta al lector el diseño y desarrollo de una aplicación para smartphone (app) haciendo uso de la tecnología RA y un libro aumentado que instruya y colabore con la app con el objetivo innovar y mejorar el proceso de enseñanza primaria, brindando una herramienta que presenta al usuario: interacción, entretenimiento y motive su aprendizaje. El sistema fue implementado en la Unidad Educativa Mahatma Gandhi de la ciudad de Babahoyo donde se detectó que los alumnos presentan déficit de atención y, como resultado, un bajo nivel de aprendizaje debido a la falta de nuevas formas de aprender y conocer; y pueden mencionarse como evidencias de los resultados obtenidos: el desarrollo de las destrezas y aptitudes cognitivas en los estudiantes, utilización de los dispositivos móviles como herramienta de aprendizaje y novedosas formas de reforzar su conocimiento; todo lo cual impactó en el mejoramiento del rendimiento académico.

This article explores the design and development of an innovative didactic paradigm for second languages at a distance, social and open (with a triple linguistic, methodological and technological dimension), whose core is defined by mobile technology and the Learning of Languages Assisted by Mobile or MALL, not only as an additional tool that can be used to perform certain tasks (in a more or less structured way), but as the main way in which distance students of second languages can interact and carry out their learning in a way effective.

The main aim of this article is to present concisely the beginning and development of school atlases from the 18th century to the present day. After defining the school atlases, those tasks that are faced during the edition of atlases of this type are briefly presented, as well as some examples. In essence, the stages of creating a school atlas have not changed markedly, changing only the medium in which they are published. We can witness how they developed from paper-printed editions first to electronic media (CD) and currently to the web. Ideas are also given on the options that applications made for mobile devices can offer and what new research is done to diversify and optimize the use of school atlases in the future.

The ARIA initiative was started during a World Health Organization workshop in 1999. The initial goals were to propose a new classification for allergic rhinitis, to promote the concept of multi-morbidity in asthma and rhinitis and to develop guidelines with stakeholders for world-wide use. ARIA is now focused on the implementation of emerging technologies for individualized and predictive medicine. MASK: MACVIA-Aria Sentinel Network uses mobile technology to develop care pathways that enable management by a multidisciplinary group or by patients themselves. An App for iOS and Android uses a visual analogue scale to assess symptom control and work productivity, as well as a clinical decision support system; it is associated with an interoperable tablet for health professionals. The escalation strategy uses recommendations of the European Innovation Partnership on Active and Healthy Ageing. The aim of ARIA’s new approach is to provide an active and healthy life to people affected by rhinitis, regardless of age, gender or socioeconomic status, in order to reduce social and health inequalities caused by the disease.

The identification and reduction of manifestations of stigma associated with HIV/AIDS among health professionals continues facing significant challenges. Some of these are the measurement of stigma in complex setting such as clinical scenarios. However, with the emergence of mobile technology in recent years, such as smartphones and tablets, possibilities for exploration and reduction of stigma manifestations are enhanced. This article aims to reflect on the ability of the iPad to help assess manifestations of stigma associated with HIV/AIDS within a controlled clinical setting with medical students. It is based on a research experience that was carried out to measure behavioral manifestations of stigma associated with HIV/AIDS among medical students in Puerto Rico. The study integrated the use of iPad in the data's collection, storage and analysis. This article highlights the use of existing applications (Apps) for iPad for the implementation of digital tools to measure stigma towards HIV/AIDS. In discussing the experience of researchers, the iPad's potential and it applications for research on stigma are highlighted. Also, implications for the use of mobile technology in social research are discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Persons living with HIV (PLWH) are living longer but experiencing more adverse symptoms associated with the disease and its treatment. This study aimed to examine the impact of a mHealth application (app) comprised of evidence-based self-care strategies on the symptom experience of PLWH. We conducted a 12-week feasibility study with 80 PLWH who were randomized (1:1) to a mHealth app, mobile Video Information Provider (mVIP), with self-care strategies for improving 13 commonly experienced symptoms in PLWH or to a control app. Intervention group participants showed a significantly greater improvement than the control group in 5 symptoms: anxiety (p = 0.001), depression (p = 0.001), neuropathy (p = 0.002), fever/chills/sweat (p = 0.037), and weight loss/wasting (p = 0.020). Participants in the intervention group showed greater improvement in adherence to their antiretroviral medications (p = 0.017) as compared to those in the control group. In this 12-week trial, mVIP was associated with improved symptom burden and increased medication adherence in PLWH. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

El aprendizaje es una herramienta fundamental en el desarrollo de la Agenda Digital para Europa. Los dispositivos móviles son una tecnología en crecimiento y con unos ratios de uso entre la población cada vez más elevados, lo que hace que el futuro de la educación deba incorporar estos dispositivos. El m-learning es una dimensión crítica para alcanzar la Estrategia Europea 2020 y para mejorar la competitividad de la sociedad europea. El propósito de esta investigación es analizar los retos de la integración de los dispositivos móviles desde la perspectiva de la aceptación tecnológica en las actividades de aprendizaje en la educación superior. Identificamos los aspectos clave para lograr un adecuado desarrollo estratégico e innovador del m-learning. La principal conclusión de la investigación es que el uso de los dispositivos móviles es aceptado y considerado útil por los estudiantes para realizar sus actividades académicas. También hemos encontrado que los conocimientos tecnológicos no representan un freno a su desarrollo, ya que los jóvenes universitarios dominan la tecnología móvil y no necesitan formación alguna para emplearla como herramienta educativa. Demostramos que la formación de usuarios y el soporte técnico no son aspectos clave para el desarrollo estratégico de proyectos de m-learning, pero sí es determinante la adaptación de contenidos al entorno móvil.

El propósito de la investigación fue determinar las estrategias de aprendizaje a partir del uso de computadoras XO-01, Classmate PC y Magallanes en un modelo de proporción 2:1 y el uso de Internet, en las materias de Ciencias y Estudios Sociales, por estudiantes de sexto grado de primaria de la escuela León Cortes Castro en San Marcos de Tarrazú en Costa Rica.El estudio se ejecutó con tres grupos de sexto grado de primaria según el sistema educativo costarricense, durante el año 2011. Los datos recolectados corresponden a 70 estudiantes y los 3 docentes de grado correspondientes a cada grupo. Cada uno de los grupos trabajó con tecnologías diferentes, un grupo con XO-01, otro grupo con Classmate PC y el tercero con Classmate Magallanes; todos los grupos utilizando una computadora por cada dos estudiantes (2:1). Para desarrollar la investigación se aplicaron instrumentos a estudiantes y docentes. Ambos instrumentos de tipo cualitativo fueron auto aplicados y bajo anonimato. La información recopilada fue procesada y se aplicó un análisis de tendencias agrupando los datos según las escalas y subescalas desarrolladas en los cuestionarios. Para el proceso de sistematización y análisis se usó como marco de referencia la propuesta de Jesús Beltrán y su definición y categorización de estrategias de aprendizaje.Los resultados señalan que en el grupo de estudiantes se desarrollaron estrategias de sensibilización, elaboración y metacognición. En el caso del grupo docente, la investigación permitió identificar las principales actividades desarrolladas para tratar el contenido del plan de estudios de Ciencias y Estudios Sociales, a saber: resúmenes, cuestionarios y esquemas.
