Investigación educativa. Dos estudios de caso de futuras profesoras de biología (en Colombia)

La formación docente ha venido tomando un papel relevante en la discusión que se adelanta en algunos programas de formación de profesores del país, y en grupos de investigación. Esto se debe a que se está trascendiendo la mirada donde se pensaba que en la formación docente era suficiente con que se tuviera una buena instrucción en su campo disciplinar y que la experiencia pedagógica se construía a partir de unas prácticas docentes que en el fondo replican el mismo modelo en el que los futuros docentes se sintieron incómodos como estudiantes. Es por ello que desde diferentes fundamentos teóricos y reflexiones pedagógicas se proponen alternativas que se ponen en marcha en diversos espacios de formación

Sistema educativo e igualdad de oportunidades entre los jóvenes tutelados: estudios recientes en el Reino Unido

Educational system and equal opportunities for young people in care: Recent studies in the UK. Publications on research about formal educational itineraries of people who were cared for by the social protection public systems when they were children are scarce, and restricted to a few countries. In recent years, statistics from some European countries have been published, showing that the young people who were cared for are overrepresented in practically all the clusters of people that accumulate indicators of social disadvantage, and it has therefore been argued that they can be considered one of the groups of population with the highest risk for social exclusion. In the present review, the emergence of new data and research results in some European countries —particularly in the United Kingdom, where the fact that less than 5% of this population reaches university studies has been underlined— is tentatively contextualised. Although the extent to which current available data can be extrapolated to other contexts and countries is yet unclear, such results raise important challenges for social intervention and social policies, as well as for psychosocial research, in all countries of the European space
