El campo de la Bibliotecología en el horizonte vocacional de los jóvenes : Matrícula, prácticas y representaciones

La escasa demanda que la carrera de bibliotecología tendría entre la población joven, especialmente entre quienes finalizan sus estudios de nivel medio, constituye en la actualidad una de las problemáticas que enfrenta el universo social de los bibliotecarios como campo disciplinar. A partir de esta situación, en el presente artículo pretendemos, por un lado, relevar características de la matrícula de la carrera de Bibliotecología en la Universidad Nacional de Córdoba (UNC) -Argentina-, tomando como fuente de información los Anuarios Estadísticos del período 2000-2014 de la mencionada universidad. Por otro, y a partir de un trabajo de campo que se hizo en once establecimientos educativos de nivel medio de la ciudad de Córdoba, abordaremos las prácticas y las percepciones que sobre la carrera de bibliotecología y la institución bibliotecaria tienen los jóvenes que cursaron en el 2015 el último año de estudios de la escuela media. La información recabada nos permite inferir que el escaso interés por estudiar bibliotecología estaría asociado a que el universo social de la bibliotecología no ocupa un lugar significativo en el horizonte perceptivo de los jóvenes de la escuela media.

Vocation in the insertion of the university student and the graduate

The work plan aims at deepening the analysis of the theoretic assumptions which support the practice in Vocational Guidance: analyzing the incidence of endogenous and exogenous factors both in the election and studying of a particular course of study and in the occupational resolution of the graduate. This analysis enables the revision and the new theoretic conceptualization which is afterwards transferred to the course, and to different groups and provincial institutions where the practice of Vocational Guidance occurs, as well as to other schools in the Northwest provinces of Argentina. Semiotic analysis, statistical elaboration and the research-action approach which, while surveying data renders a service to the milieu, provide the base for the project. Said project focuses on the following individuals: 1) freshmen, who offer us the following aspects to be considered: a) factors which either favor or hinder the insertion of the students attending the first years of the course; b) the conditions making up the learning situation in each subject, from the teaching point of view; c) the influence of institutional dimension in the insertion process; 2) graduands: the characteristics of the situation following graduation from University, those of the labor field and the different ways of gaining access to it are investigated. This analysis is carried out in the courses of study of Psychology and English (education of Professionals in English and English for Professionals).

Text Comprehension And roduction in University Students: Text Reformulation

This paper sets out to report on findings about features of task-specific reformulation observed in university students in the middle stretch of the Psychology degree course (N=58) and in a reference group of students from the degree courses in Modern Languages, Spanish and Library Studies (N=33) from the National University of La Plata (Argentina). Three types of reformulation were modeled: summary reformulation, comprehensive and productive reformulation.The study was based on a corpus of 621 reformulations rendered from different kinds of text. The versions obtained were categorised according to the following criteria: presence or absence of normative, morphosyntactic and semantic difficulties. Findings show that problems arise particularly with paraphrase and summary writing. Observation showed difficulties concerning punctuation, text cohesion and coherence , and semantic distortion or omission as regards extracting and/or substituting gist, with limited lexical resources and confusion as to suitability of style/register in writing. The findings in this study match those of earlier, more comprehensive research on the issue and report on problems experienced by a significant number of university students when interacting with both academic texts and others of a general nature. Moreover, they led to questions, on the one hand, as to the nature of such difficulties, which appear to be production-related problems and indirectly account for inadequate text comprehension, and on the other hand, as to the features of university tuition when it comes to text handling.
