La Relación del lenguaje con la teoría de la mente en edad escolar

In the past years a considerable amount of research has been carried out on the development of theory of mind (ToM) reporting that language and ToM performance are correlated. However it is less clear what aspect of language is related with ToM development. Some studies show a greater influence of semantics aspects, whereas others suggest that sentential complement sentences, a specific aspect of syntax, are crucial for false belief understanding (FB). Yet others argue that pragmatic abilities correlate with FB understanding. The aim of this study is investigate, on the one side, the development of ToM between the ages of 6 and 8 and on the other side, the relationship between some aspects of language and the ToM improvement. Several ToM tasks were administrated to evaluate children’s performance at two different ages (60 participants aged 6 and 8 years) and four tasks to assess language abilities. The results show a significant increase in the understanding of the mind between the ages of 6 and 8. Furthermore, results reveal a significant relationship between syntax and tasks that require FB understanding, while pragmatics is more strongly associated with tasks that involve more complex socio-cognitive understandings

La integración de Internet en la educación escolar española : situación actual y perspectivas de futuro

The main objectives and findings of this first research report are presented in this chapter."The Implementation of the Internet in the Spanish Education System: State of Affairs and Future Prospects" is a large-scale research project that seeks to obtain relevant data about the introduction and dissemination of Information and Communication Technology, particularly the internet, in the practical and organizational general procedures of the Spanish schools and high schools. The project articulates the processes of ICT implementation on the primary and secondary education levels embracing a holistic approach, propped up by an empirical and analytical research methodology. Thus, our survey does not intend to detect which is the impact of ICT on school activities but how all the agents involved in the school community incorporate ICT and what use they make of it. We are especially interested in identifying the teachers' pedagogical and professional uses of ICT, how students use it in their activities and to what extent it contributes in reinforcing teamwork and participation proceedings in the institutions, as well as the relations between the latter and their context. It is also of our interest to know the factors that exert the strongest influence on the way teachers, head teachers and students make use of ICT. Finally, we intend to identify the ways ICT may contribute to the improvementof educational practices.

The results from the research indicate that, depending on the candidates, the suitable management acces procedure involves School Council selection, by process of elimination, depending on the Management Project presented and the academic merits accredited by the candidate to a lesser extent.

La búsqueda de factores protectores del fracaso escolar en niños en situación de riesgo mediante un estudio de casos

The aim of this article is to introduce one of the approaches of research that we consider may contribute to find useful knowledge for prevention of school failure. This approach is in some studies called the study of risk and resilience. The word resilience refers to the capacity of individuals to endure adverse events in their vital experience, without long-term negative or disrupting consequences in their development or socialisation. We present a review of studies that have been carried out with this approach. Then it will be exemplified with a research that intended to identify protective factors of the risk of school failure in at risk adolescents. By means of a qualitative case study approach, this research has allowed us to approach some personal, educational and social factors that seem to have a certain relevance as protective factors of the risk of school failure

El valor de la impremta en el Grup Escolar Lluís Vives: una eina al servei de l"educació durant la II República i de la recuperació de la memòria pedagògica

Les revistes, els periòdics, els gravats i altres impresos que van sortir de les impremtes dels grups escolars del Patronat Escolar són el testimoni directe dels nens i les nenes que van viure una revolució pedagògica molt intensa en un període de temps molt reduït, ja que la guerra va estroncar el projecte educatiu. Concretament, analitzarem dues fonts documentals procedents del Grup Escolar Lluís Vives: d"una banda, el primer i únic número de la revista Vives, publicat el maig del 1936, i de l"altra, la carpeta de linogravats titulada Llibre de la natura. Ambdues publicacions permeten fer-nos una idea bastant ajustada de com era l"escola, quins eren els mètodes d"aprenentatge que se seguien i quins valors s"hi fomentaven. En definitiva, constitueixen un testimoni del dietari pedagògic de l"escola i ens permeten ratificar els idearis dels grups escolars del Patronat Escolar i de les escoles municipals de Barcelona durant la II República.

Aproximación a los ritmos de rendimiento escolar: fundamentos y aplicaciones actuales

El análisis de los ritmos se realiza desde el contexto de dos disciplinas interrelacionadas: la cronopsicología, que se ocupa de estudiar los ritmos de comportamiento por ellos mismos (Fraisse, 1980) y la cronobiología, que estudia las oscilaciones rítmicas de los parámetros biológicos (Halberg, 1979). El objetivo de las investigaciones cronopsicológicas consiste básicamente en analizar la variabilidad temporal que presentan distintas variables comportamentales, como la memoria, la atención o el rendimiento escolar, entre otros. Desde una perspectiva cronobiológica, en cambio, el interés se centra en el estudio de distintos aspectos biológicos, como el ritmo sueño-vigilia, la temperatura corporal, los ritmos nutricionales, el ritmo cardíaco, etc
