El buglere: lengua obsolescente

El estudio plantea una caracterización general del buglere, dialecto del bocotá, perteneciente a la familia chibcha. Se aportan algunos datos de orden social y cultural asociados a la diáspora de la etnia, y posteriormente se centra en la caracterización tipológica de la lengua, que la vincula directamente con la familia mencionada. Señala su autor que el notable riesgo de extinción obliga a llevar a cabo estudios descriptivos sistemáticos y sostenidos, con la esperanza de propiciar su eventual revitalización.This study presents a general characterization of Buglere –a dialect of Bocotá, which belongs to the Chibcha family. It provides information on the social and cultural system related to the scattering of that ethnic group. Attention is then given to the typological characterization of the language, in which it is linked directly to the family mentioned. The author affirms that the significant risk of extinction is what leads to systematic, sustained descriptive studies, with the hope of eventually revitalizing the language.

Beliefs, Teaching Practice and Proposals for the Attention of Cultural Diversity: the Case of a Costa Rican Teaching and Three Nicaraguans Infants

This article presents data from a research that studied a teacher belief regarding three Nicaraguan students. Specifically, presents findings related to teaching practice and its relation to diverse education proposals. It includes an analysis of four subcategories: daily dynamic of a teacher who works with infants of another culture, students’ assessment in the classroom, discipline strategies to children, and diverse beliefs and proposals. The data shows that, in the classroom, the teacher does not demonstrate different treatment to Nicaraguan and Costa Rican children, suggesting that equal treatment is the strategy per se used by the teacher to solve the issue of cultural diversity in the classroom. On the other hand, discipline is assumed by the teacher with scolding criteria, using a loud tone of voice and aggressive vocabulary.

Attention to Diversity from an Interdisciplinary Perspective: Results from the Final Graduation Project from a Group of Students Majoring in Preschool Education and Special Education

Nowadays, the topic of diversity is being studied, particularly in the field of the formation of future educators, where it is clearly evident in each one of the students. In order to understand this concept and meet the challenges it demands, this investigation, through the experience of action research, looks for a real picture of how this diversity is served in Guanacaste’s rural contexts. This is accomplished by identifying those ways to guide a better teachers’ work, and by taking into account the educational planning and the participation of the different sectors involved in the process of teaching and learning.
