Políticas sobre la integración de las TIC en la escuela de la Comunidad Autónoma del País Vasco

[ES]En la Comunidad Autónoma Vasca se han tomado una serie de decisiones estratégicas materializadas en diversas políticas, planes institucionales e iniciativas con el objeto de integrar, usar e innovar con TIC en las escuelas. Desde iniciativas pretéritas centradas básicamente en la dotación de infraestructuras, pasando por el perfeccionamiento del profesorado, actualmente existe un modelo que intenta unir de facto la política de infraestructura y la formación del los docentes para una utilización eficiente de las TIC. La descripción y el análisis del impacto de las mismas en el entorno escolar es el objetivo de esta investigación. En este estudio se ha llevado a cabo una metodología de corte cualitativo basada en la recogida de ideas, opiniones y valoraciones de políticos, técnicos, directores de centros, así como de profesores mediante entrevistas en profundidad (N=25). Los diferentes agentes educativos entrevistados reconocen que a día de hoy el modelo propuesto que unifica lo tecnológico, lo psicopedagógico y lo organizativo adolece de falta de información eficaz y de financiación impidiendo claramente un impacto real en las escuelas.

Ekologiaren babesa haur eta gazte literaturan: Felipe Juaristi - Animalien inauteria (1999)

[EUS] Gure gizarteak industrializazio eta kontsumorako bidea hartu du. Orokorrean hiriko emakume-gizonak bihurtu gara, inguru naturala ahaztuz. Horren aurrean ekologiaren aldeko ekintzak daude. Lan honetan literatura eta natura aztertu egin dira. Felipe Juaristiren Animalien Inauteria (1999) liburuaren azterketa narratologikoa egin da eta ekokritikarekin erlazionatu da, ondoren eskolan izan ditzakeen onurak ondorioztatu ahal izateko.

Familien parte hartea Haur Hezkuntzan

[EUS] Gradu Amaierako Lan honek eskola inklusibo batean familiek duten parte hartzea aztertzea du helburu, Haur Hezkuntzako etapara mugatuz. Horretarako Bilboko Ikastola zehatz batean ikerketa bat egitea erabaki da. Azterketaren ardatza zentro horretan familiek daukaten parte hartze maila eta aukerak zelakoak diren hurbiletik ezagutzea eta ulertzea izan da. Ikerketan erabilitako metodologia kualitatiboa izan da, dokumentuen analisiak, elkarrizketa zuzenak eta inkestak aurrera eramanez. Teknika horien bitartez lortutako informazioa aztertu ostean, marko teorikoarekin alderatu egin da, ikerketaren ondorioak ateratzeko. Amaieran, ondorioak kontuan izanik hobekuntza proposamen bat aurkeztu da.

Giza-erlazioen psikologia: adimen emozionala eta gizarte harremanak

[eus] Egungo gizartean, konpetentzia emozional maila baxuak “analfabetismo emozionala” jarri du agerian (Goleman, 1996). Arrazoi honengatik, adimen emozionala jorratu beharra dago, bai familia eta baita hezkuntza arloan ere. Hau guztiagatik, ikerketa honen xede nagusia, 7-11 urte tarteko umeen trebetasun sozialak kooperazioaren bitartez sustatzea da; izan ere, garai horretan, gizabanakoaren bizitza soziala goreneko intentsitatera heltzen da. Honetarako, Bilboko Pagasarribide ikastetxean (Lehen Hezkuntzako 5.maila) jorratzeko unitate didaktikoa aurkezten da. Beraz, bertako bi jardueratan lortutako emaitzak kontuan hartuz, baieztatu ahal da, honi esker, ikasleen trebetasun sozialak garatu direla eta emozionalki adimentsuagoak izatea lortuko dutela unitate didaktiko hau bere osotasunean jorratu ondoren.

Keep an "eye" on the text: The Use of Self-mention in the Academic Writing of Experts

One of the most controversial inquiries in academic writing is whether it is admissible to use first person pronouns in a scientific paper or not. Many professors discourage their students from using them, rather favoring a more passive tone, and thus causing novices to avoid inserting themselves into their texts in an expert-like manner. Abundant research, however, has recently attested that negotiation of identity is plausible in academic prose, and there is no need for a paper to be void of an authorial identity. Because in the course of the English Studies Degree we have received opposing prompts in the use of I, the aim of this dissertation is to throw some light upon this vexed issue. To this end, I compiled a corpus of 16 Research Articles (RAs) that comprises two sub-corpora, one featuring Linguistics RAs and the other one Literature RAs, and each, in turn, consists of articles written by American and British authors. I then searched for real occurrences of I, me, my, mine, we, us, our and ours, and studied their frequency, rhetorical functions and distribution along each paper. The results obtained certainly show that academic writing is no longer the faceless prose that it used to be, for I is highly used in both disciplines and varieties of English. Concerning functions, the most typically used roles were the use of I to take credit for the writer’s research process, and also those involving plural forms. With respect to the spatial disposition, all sections welcomed first person pronouns, but the Method and the Results/Discussion sections seem to stimulate their appearance. On the basis of these findings, I suggest that an L2 writing pedagogy that is mindful not only of the language proficiency, but also of the students’ own identity may have a beneficial effect on the composition of their texts.

Impact of Cyberprogram 2.0 on Different Types of School Violence and Aggressiveness

Some antibullying interventions have shown positive outcomes with regard to reducing violence. The aim of the study was to experimentally assess the effects on school violence and aggressiveness of a program to prevent and reduce cyberbullying. The sample was comprised of a randomly selected sample of 176 adolescents (93 experimental, 83 control), aged 13-15 years. The study used a repeated measures pre-posttest design with a control group. Before and after the program, two assessment instruments were administered: the "Cuestionario de Violencia Escolar-Revisado" (CUVE-R [School Violence Questionnaire- Revised]; Alvarez Garcia et al., 2011) and the "Cuestionario de agresividad premeditada e impulsiva" (CAPI-A [Premeditated and Impulsive Aggressiveness Questionnaire]; Andreu, 2010). The intervention consisted of 19 one-hour sessions carried out during the school term. The program contains 25 activities with the following objectives: (1) to identify and conceptualize bullying/cyberbullying; (2) to analyze the consequences of bullying/cyberbullying, promoting participants' capacity to report such actions when they are discovered; (3) to develop coping strategies to prevent and reduce bullying/cyberbullying; and (4) to achieve other transversal goals, such as developing positive variables (empathy, active listening, social skills, constructive conflict resolution, etc.). The pre-posttest ANCOVAs confirmed that the program stimulated a decrease in: (1) diverse types of school violence teachers' violence toward students (ridiculing or publicly humiliating students in front of the class, etc.); students' physical violence (fights, blows, shoves... aimed at the victim, or at his or her property, etc.); students' verbal violence (using offensive language, cruel, embarrassing, or insulting words... toward classmates and teachers); social exclusion (rejection or exclusion of a person or group, etc.), and violence through Information and Communication Technologies (ICT; violent behaviors by means of electronic instruments such as mobile phones and the Internet); and (2) premeditated and impulsive aggressiveness. Pre-posttest MANCOVA revealed differences between conditions with a medium effect size. This work contributes an efficacious intervention tool for the prevention and reduction of peer violence. The conclusions drawn from this study have interesting implications for educational and clinical intervention.
