Factorial structure and reliability of a perceived influence on selection of a specialized plan of studies, IPEP, in secondary school students of Chillan, Chile

To evaluate these factors, the scale of perceived influences on the election of a specialized plan of studies, IPEP, was built and in this study its factorial structure and reliability were evaluated. The instrument was applied to 115 students, chosen by quote sampling. They were students of a subsidized private secondary school from the city of Chillan, Chile. An exploratory factorial analysis identified eight factors in the scale IPEP: Academic projection, Personal development, Maintenance of the social environment, Academic requirements, Satisfaction of others' expectations, Vocational information, Image of the plan and Family pressure. The results present an initial factorial structure, that empirically and theoretically adequate, whose factors were reliable and conceptually useful. These factors distinguish psychogenic and sociogenic aspects of the vocational process, and allow to initiate diagnostic and investigative actions in relation to this early vocational election that is established in secondary schools of the Chilean educational system

The attention/support to students in the socio-labor transition

In the present paper I intend to put forward some inquiries regarding the socio-labor guidance and transition of the young people in the co-ordinates of contemporary society. The outstanding paradox in which some young people are immersed when trying to get a first, second, third employment is also analyzed: "The job of looking for a job". This is a common experience shared by many young people when they try to find a place in the complex labor panorama. Looking for a job is a recurrent situation in contemporary society, given the high dose of precarious employment in which the productive world moves. Life-long jobs belong to the past and what is normal is that people strive to enter the competitive labor market repeatedly. Moreover, the paper offers the partial results of a larger research project that approaches tutorship, decision taking and expectations before the academic-labor future of the studentship in the last years of secondary school. Finally, I suggest some insights in the line that it is not longer feasible to work with old-fashioned guidance, trying to channel people's vocation and offering them information so that they get a job that provides them with the happiness of "doing what you like". Behind these ideas lay the normal biographies, the predictable itineraries. Labor market complexity makes the transition to working life very difficult. Once immersed in it, biographies and labor itineraries are constructed and reconstructed at the rhythm of the changing fortunes of times.

It became mandatory and expanded significantly the enrollment , but keep the high level of failure and dropout . Historically, the definition of options for secondary education and particularly vocational education , has been in Brazil for conflict of interests and positions , which is expressed in the diversity of curricular proposals presented throughout the twentieth century and the beginning of this XXI century. Currently, the line adopted by the federal government is to encourage states and municipalities to implement the method of integrated secondary school , thus seeking to establish links between the academic and professional learning . The topic of this article is precisely this choice of integrated education . It is within the framework of the Brazilian educational scenario and its late development compared to other countries in the region under review debate and educational policies aimed to integrate the high school and the working world

La organización de la tarea didáctica : La planificación

La formación en didáctica y práctica de la Geografía de los profesores en la Universidad Nacional del Sur es concebida como un proceso complejo e inacabado de construcción personal del conocimiento, en el que el ejercicio del análisis reflexivo representa la acción vertebradora. La asignatura Didáctica y Práctica de la Geografía se presenta como un saber en construcción que permite conectar la Geografía como ciencia académica con la Geografía como disciplina en la educación secundaria obligatoria, a través del enlace de los diferentes componentes que se conjugan en el proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje con el sustento epistemológico, nexo fundamental del proceso. Una de las finalidades formativa de la disciplina es promover mediante acciones concretas un proceso que favorezca un posicionamiento del futuro docente como "autor y protagonista" en la enseñanza de la Geografía, y no como mero aplicador o receptor de diseños y líneas de acciones pensadas por otros actores, muchos de los cuales son ajenos al ámbito del trabajo en el aula. En relación con esta aspiración, a través de diferentes propuestas didácticas se aborda, desde el tratamiento teórico y desde el ejercicio de la práctica, la importancia de diagramar contenidos geográficos para la educación secundaria. De este modo, se intenta construir y fortalecer en el alumno un pensamiento consciente y fundamentado a partir del cual sea posible tomar decisiones para organizar la tarea de enseñanza y aprendizaje

Evaluation of study competence in pupils between 12-14 years old

There are three main study areas of guidance needs for pupils in Compulsory Secondary Education (CSE) which are academic development, personal and social development and the area of professional career. The area of academic development is where the knowledge to be acquired by the pupils, attitudes towards efficient learning in schools and the skills of efficient study are inculcated, the latter being the objective of our study. The research was taken from a sample of 80 school children between twelve and sixteen years old in a Secondary School in Santiago of Compostela ( Spain ). After analysing the results obtained we can see several motivations that justify the need to improve learning and study skills used by pupils. Normative arguments exist, needs that are exhibited by pupils and by teachers, especially tutors, of a scientific nature (connection with academic work) and to develop new strategies taking into account the contributions to the pedagogic research in this field. In this sense the application of an innovative programme of skills and study strategies in communication could be of interest.

Cuando el horror se vuelve cotidiano. Aproximaciones a la vida cotidiana en la dictadura militar argentina a partir de las producciones audiovisuales del "Programa Jóvenes y Memoria. Recordamos para el futuro"

Los debates acerca de las actitudes de la sociedad civil frente a la última dictadura militar argentina oscilan entre la "teoría de los dos demonios" y las que responsabilizan a la sociedad toda. Para superar estas visiones maniqueas analizaremos algunos trabajos académicos relevantes sobre los autoritarismos europeos, con el fin de abordar nuevas perspectivas de interpretación que sean útiles al momento de pensar sobre la relación entre sociedad y dictadura en la bibliografía referida al caso argentino. Indagaremos las distintas actitudes sociales frente a la dictadura argentina desde los micro-contextos sociales a través de las producciones audiovisuales desarrolladas por los alumnos bonaerenses de nivel secundario realizadas en el Programa "Jóvenes y Memoria Recordamos para el futuro", propuesta desarrollada por la Comisión Provincial por la Memoria desde el año 2002. La elección de los audiovisuales desarrollados en el marco de este Programa apunta a su carácter testimonial y permite cuestionar la bipolaridad "complicidad-resistencia" en la que comúnmente suelen caracterizarse las actitudes sociales del período para pensar en una matriz que contiene distintos grises o gamas de acción.
