La participación en el aula escolar rural: un reto para la transformación

This work analyses the participation as a way to exert the right to education, as a mean to democratize the learning process and as a channel to achieve pertinence in the educational process. It assumes that parents, students and other members of the community have to be near the school and the classroom not only to collaborate with the tasks traditionally assigned to them but also to develop a new way of participation that involves a construction process of the learning process. To achieve this purpose, the authors enunciate different strategies, useful to the get school and community together.

ENFOQUES Y ESTILOS GERENCIALES MODERNOS ADAPTADOS A AMBIENTES INTERNACIONALES

Este artículo intenta destacar la importancia de los enfoques y estilos gerenciales en un contexto de competencia internacional. Aborda los lineamientos centrales de enfoques gerenciales tales como el empowerment, la reingeniería, la calidad total y el benchmarking.Además, se reconoce que los ambientes internacionales han ido moldeando las gerencias de tal forma que hoy día se necesitan gerentes multiculturales que puedan motivar a personas de diferentes culturas así como ser aceptados por estas. Esos gerentes deben ser capaces de traspasar las barreras culturales y guiar a las empresas hacia la consecución de sus metas.Abstract:This article intends to focus on the importance of the approach and managerial styles in an international competitive context. It states the central guidelines of the managerial approaches such as the empowerment, the re-engineering, the total quality and benchmarking.This document also states that the international or foreign environments have been modeling management. Therefore, nowadays it is necessary to count on multicultural manages who are able to motivate other people from different cultures, as well as to be accepted from these cultural groups. These managers must be able to cross cultural boundaries and guide the companies to reach their goals.

Modelos, lenguajes y abstracción (ING)

Every construction process (whatever buildings, machines, software, etc.) requires first to make a model of the artifact that is going to be built. This model should be based on a paradigm or meta-model, which defines the basic modeling elements: which real world concepts can be represented, which relationships can be established among them, and son on. There also should be a language to represent, manipulate and think about that model. Usually this model should be redefined at various levels of abstraction. So both, the paradigm an the language, must have abstraction capacity. In this paper I characterize the relationships that exist between these concepts: model, language and abstraction. I also analyze some historical models, like the relational model for databases, the imperative programming model and the object oriented model. Finally, I remark the need to teach that model-driven approach to students, and even go further to higher level models, like component models o business models.
