Efectos de la enseñanza interdisciplinaria en la educación ambiental sobre los conocimientos, valores y actitudes ambientales de estudiantes de segundo ciclo básico (Los Ángeles, Región del Biobío, Chile)

Debido a la necesidad de implementar metodologías efectivas para la formación de ciudadanos con conciencia ambiental, se planteó esta investigación con el objetivo de evaluar el efecto de la enseñanza interdisciplinaria en la Educación Ambiental, sobre los conocimientos, valores y actitudes ambientales, de estudiantes de sexto curso básico de un establecimiento municipal de la ciudad de Los Ángeles, en Chile. Se relaciona la Educación Ambiental con las asignaturas Lenguaje-Comunicación y Matemática. Los instrumentos de medición, validados por un comité de expertos y sometidos a un análisis de fiabilidad. Se aplicaron antes y después de la intervención, permitiendo así medir el grado de cambio en conocimientos, valores y actitudes ambientales en los distintos tratamientos, los cuales fueron analizados estadísticamente por medio de tests no paramétricos. Los resultados indican que un grado mayor de interdisciplinariedad genera mejores conocimientos, valores y actitudes ambientales, por lo que se recomienda implementar estrategias interdisciplinarias en el aula al momento de realizar Educación Ambiental.

The intersectorial approach in providing guidance and school support. The perspective of counsellors, tutors and principals

The provision of guidance and educational support requires joint work and the collaboration of different professionals and institutions, especially when we face complex problems that require a high level of specialization and the combination of knowledge from different areas. The research has aimed to examine the proximity of the institutional system of guidance and support to school in nine Autonomous Communities, to the intersectorial approach of counselling. We present the results of a descriptive study using the survey method, which allows knowing the opinions of counsellors, tutors and principals of Primary and Secondary Compulsory Education about the collaboration with the local public services (social, health, education, and employment) in the specialized support to students and schools. The final sample consisted of 9732 subjects who were selected from a random sampling proportional to the size of the subpopulations of each Autonomous Community. Results indicate how, in general terms, there is collaboration among the school and the local public services, although not as frequently as it would be desirable. In the same way, the professionals that were interviewed believe that the collaboration with social and educational services is quite adequate, but the assessment is not as positive when health and employment services are analysed. Finally, taking into account the different professionals considered, tutors from both educational stages are the ones that show a higher degree of satisfaction with the collaboration between the school and the local public services, except in the case of social services.

Training proposal in the degree of Master of Early Childhood Education for working the method of historical research in the classroom

Future teachers must be competent in creating educational settings, which provide tools to their students future they can develop a conscious mind, able to interpret their experiences, to make decisions and imagine innovative solutions to help you participate autonomously and responsible in society. This requires an educational system that allows them to integrate the subjective into a broader spatial and temporal context. La patrimonializatión of “Cultural artefacts” and oral history, the basis of which, are found in the active mind and links both the personal and the group experience, don’t only serve as a catalyst to achieving this goal, but rather, they facilitate the implementation of established practice in infant education. To gain this experience we offer the opportunity for students of their degree in Infant Education in the Public University of Navarre, training within the framework of social didactics, allowing students to learn about established practice from iconic, materials and oral sources in the Archive of Intangible Cultural Heritage of Navarra. The vidences points to their effectiveness and presented in a work in progress.
