Nuevos datos en torno al escultor Josep Bover i Mas (1802-1866)

[spa]Josep Bover i Mas (1802-1866) fue uno de los más destacados escultores españoles de la Academia de Bellas Artes de Barcelona de la primera mitad del siglo XIX, desarrollando una interesante carrera como creador profesional y docente que, hasta el día de hoy sólo ha sido estudiada de forma fragmentaria. El presente artículo pretende reunir la escasa bibliografía publicada en torno al escultor y aportar numerosos datos nuevos relacionados con su vida y obra, facilitando la interpretación global de su trabajo. Asimismo, pretende sugerir una reflexión sobre la escultura académica decimonónica con el objetivo de contribuir a renovar la visión que de ésta se ha presentado hasta el momento.

El contexto escolar como escenario de educación superior en la formación de docentes. El prácticum en Quebec como modelo para reflexionar ante las nuevas titulaciones de grado

El diseño de los planes de estudio para las nuevas titulaciones de grado de Magisterio constituye, por su carácter profesionalizador basado en competencias y la ampliación de los estudios a cuatro cursos, una oportunidad para las facultades de educación de mejora de la calidad de la formación inicial de maestros. Gran parte del incremento de los créditos se destina a la ampliación de los periodos de prácticas en los centros escolares colaboradores. Se trata de un escenario de cambio profundo que deberá replantear la organización y revisar los modelos. La experiencia en Quebec nos proporciona elementos de análisis y de reflexión con la finalidad de llegar a orientaciones y a conclusiones transferibles a la organización de estos planes de estudio y para integrar el prácticum en una visión global e interdisciplinaria de la titulación.

L'ensenyament del concepte piagetià de conservació: una experiència docent

The present work is aimed at reporting an educational experience about the conservation of the substance and the cognitive theories of Jean Piaget & Lev S. Vygotsky. This activity was carried out with 1st course students in the practical classes of the subject called Psicologia de l"educació i del desenvolupament en l"edat escolar, within the Teacher Training studies of the University of Girona. This experience was inspired by a proposal of González, Fuentes, de la Morena and Barajas (1995), in which the students have to analyse, using the solid and liquid conservation tasks created by Piaget and his colleagues from the Genevan School, the transition from the preoperational to the operational thought in infants aged from 4 to 8. This proposal has been adapted in order to analyse not only the infants" level of cognitive development but also what they can learn with the help of another person. Consequently, the students have chosen, administered and evaluated the support given to the children. Additionally, the different strategies used by the students in order to promote the infants" comprehension of the conservation have been studied and classified, which has allowed the reflection about other possible methods to teach and to show how to teach this concept El present treball pretén explicar una experiència docent sobre la conservació de la substància i les teories cognitives de Jean Piaget i Lev S. Vygotsky, en el marc de les pràctiques de l"assignatura Psicologia de l"educació i del desenvolupament en l"edat escolar amb alumnes 1r curs de la Diplomatura de Magisteri de la Universitat de Girona. Aquesta experiència s"ha inspirat en una proposta de González, Fuentes, de la Morena i Barajas (1995), en la qual els alumnes han d"analitzar el pas del pensament preoperatori al pensament operatori en infants de 4 a 8 anys, a través de tasques de conservació de la substància sòlida i líquida, les quals ja foren utilitzades per Piaget i els seus col·laboradors de l"Escola de Ginebra. Aquesta proposta ha estat adaptada per tal d"intentar analitzar el nivell de desenvolupament cognitiu dels infants no només a partir del que aquests són capaços de comprendre per sí sols sinó també a través d"ajudes, les quals han estat escollides, administrades i valorades pels propis estudiants. En aquesta revisió de la pràctica, s"han volgut delimitar les diferents estratègies utilitzades pels estudiants per tal de promoure la comprensió de la conservació en els infants, fet que ha permès la reflexió sobre d"altres possibles formes d"ensenyar i ensenyar a ensenyar aquest concep

Interviewing Carol Maier: a woman in translation

En un article posterior a les seves traduccions a la llengua anglesa de Memorias de Leticia Valle de Rosa Chacel i de Delirio y destino de María Zambrano, Carol Maier apunta el que penso que hauria de constituir una de les màximes més determinants en la pràctica de la traducció (1996, 209): «…it is not only in the ‘text’ of a work but precisely in the notes, introductions, and afterwards meant to ensure a work’s recovery that the most decided re-covering often occurs.» Per a Maier, traductora literària, teòrica i professora de traducció, la responsabilitat de l’activitat traductològica no es limita a una mera (re)escriptura del text originari. Cal que el traductor i la traductora s’impliquin, abandonin les distàncies crítiques i portin a la visibilitat el que pensen sobre la teoria i la pràctica de la traducció. I és precisament aquesta crida de Maier a l’expansió del terme «responsabilitat» en traducció la que m’invita a presentar potser d’una altra manera aquesta entrevista amb ella. Maier ens ofereix ara i aquí un espai de debat, de diàleg i de reflexió per a totes les persones que volem pensar sobre les paradoxes i les contradiccions derivades de (re)escriure una textualitat en una altra llengua. En definitiva, estic convençuda que les seves afirmacions, pensaments i comentaris sobre les interseccions entre el gènere i la traducció es guanyaran merescudament el sobrenom de «responsables» per al qual ella lluita tan enèrgicament.

Creating and organizing an "English class" in primary education: The role of teacher talk in the EFL amd CLIL Classes

Catalonia is a bilingual country where the presence of English in the social context is small; the amount of input received by the primary education pupils is very little and this input mainly comes from the English lessons at school. Consequently, this situation combined with the increasing demand for English and the fact that the new generations want to become communicatively competent in English place the role of English teachers in a relevant position. This research project analyses the role of the English teacher talk; in particular, the study focuses on the teacher’s oral productions in foreign language lessons (EFL) and in content-based lessons (CLIL).

La veu dels infants

Aquest treball pretén donar a conèixer els principis bàsics de la pedagogia de Reggio Emilia (Itàlia), amb la seva idea d'infant capaç, "intel·ligent" i biològicament predisposat a comunicar, a viure en relació; la idea d'un mestre amb interès, curiositat i disposat a escoltar, observar, documentar, interpretar, reflexionar i confrontar per poder oferir als infants contextos i experiències riques i adequades a cada un d'ells, on es puguin expressar a través de tots els llenguatges possibles. També es mostra com s'han realitzat els dos principals objectius pràctics del treball. Per una banda, l'observació de com es du a terme l'escolta, l'observació, la documentació i la seva interpretació i reflexió a les escoles de Castelnovo di Sotto (Reggio Emilia). I per altra banda, l'elaboració de dues documentacions, una referent a la vida escolar i una referent a la vida personal a Itàlia.

La Incidencia de las nuevas tecnologías en los hábitos formativos de los estudiantes de magisterio = The Impact of new technologies in the learning habits of teacher students

Este trabajo persigue dos objetivos: el primero es analizar el uso de las TIC en un grupo de estudiantes de segundo curso de Magisterio de la Universidad de Girona; el segundo es analizar los documentos normativos legales que establecen el currículum de educación primaria en Cataluña para observar qué tipo de papel juegan las TIC en las nuevas programaciones educativas. La primera parte se ha llevado a cabo mediante una encuesta, cuyos resultados permiten observar tres aspectos distintos: el primero, que una parte considerable del grupo considera las TIC más como un complemento para el aprendizaje que como una forma de aprendizaje; el segundo, que a pesar de hacer un uso considerable de las TIC, el conocimiento que tienen de ellas es muy básico y utilizan aplicaciones muy genéricas; y el tercero es que una parte de sus propuestas didácticas para el uso de las TIC son propuestas tradicionales simplemente adaptadas a un nuevo instrumento, sin buscar realmente la innovación que puede suponer la incorporación de las TIC. En la segunda parte del artículo, a partir del análisis e interpretación de los documentos legales que establecen el currículum de Educación Primaria, se observa que en un mismo documento conviven aserciones sobre las TIC como complemento al aprendizaje de contenidos con otras formulaciones que consideran las TIC como constructoras de conocimiento. A partir del perfil de los estudiantes y del estado de los documentos legales, al final del artículo se hacen propuestas para formar al futuro maestro teniendo en cuenta las TIC como herramientas básicas de conocimiento

The construction of infant and primary school teachers’ identity during their initial professional development and first years of work (Identidoc). Summary, main results and contributions

Educators who are currently beginning their professional career at any level of the educationalsystem and who will likely have to work during the next thirty to forty years will be takingpart in the education of individuals who, with the permission of prophets and doomsayers,will live part of their lives in the 22nd century. That long but simple statement causes a bit ofvertigo as well as a good amount of reflection on the part of we educators who were trainedin the 20th century, are working in the 21st century, and are responsible for preparing peopleto build a tomorrow that is already today (Millán and Sancho, 1995). This is the starting pointof our research groups’ interest in exploring how men and women who have graduated fromteacher education programs with specializations in infant and primary education learn to beteachers, and how they establish and position themselves as teachers during their university studies and the first years of their professional life...

Repensando la formación inicial del profesorado para abordar el tratamiento a la diversidad cultural y lingüística en el aula = Rethinking initial teacher education for linguistic and cvltural diversity in the classroom

In recent decades, European educational systems are facing many challenges related to the treatment of cultural and linguistic diversity. The need to address this diversity requires new approaches to education; this in turn requires changes in the way we prepare teachers for the new reality they face in their classrooms. In this article we highlight some of the major problems that initial teacher training has to address in order to enable teachers to deal effectively, respectfully, and fairly with students whose linguistic and cultural background is different from their own. We also present several models for teacher education from Europe and North America based on clearly identified teacher competences for linguistic and cultural diversity
