Diagnóstico de las diferencias étnicas y de los procesos desarrollados en la Educación Primaria.

Primera investigación: Realizar un diagnóstico de la población infantil inmigrante, étnicamente diferenciada, escolarizada en la Educación Primaria. Segunda investigación: Comprender las relaciones educativas que se establecen en las escuelas donde se inserta la población estudiada. 220 niños y niñas de Marruecos, Guinea Ecuatorial, Perú, República Dominicana, Filipinas y Pakistán, de 14 centros urbanos de Educación Primaria de la provincia de Barcelona. 105 familias de las diferentes minorías, con hijos de 6 a 12 años y recursos socioeconómicos deficitarios. 56 profesores de 14 centros de Educación Primaria. Revisión teórica sobre el tema. La primera investigación se centra en tres estudios: 1. Análisis de los valores y nivel de integración de las minorías étnicas en el aula, mediante un test sociométrico y dos dinámicas para su diagnóstico. 2. Estudio de los valores y estereotipos culturales de los padres, expectativas educativas respecto a sus hijos e hijas, actitudes hacia la escuela, mediante un protocolo de entrevista. 3. Actuación del profesorado en las aulas multiculturales, a través de un cuestionario de actitudes. En la segunda investigación se realiza una investigación etnográfica en tres centros. El proceso se desarrolla en dos fases, utilizando las estrategias de observación y entrevista. Análisis de contenido. Dinámicas de valores, coeficiente Alfa de Cronbach, tablas. Los profesores desconocen la realidad cultural y familiar de los niños de las minorías. Existen pocas estrategias para hacer frente a la diversidad, aparte de recurrir a los Programas de Educación Compensatoria y Especial. No se percibe al alumno inmigrante como 'culturamente diverso', sino que se concibe su diferencia como un déficit lingüístico que le dificulta acceder a la cultura mayoritaria. El alumnado magrebí es el que muestra menor grado de integración, y el mayor el de los filipinos. Por último, se constata la falta de participación de los padres inmigrantes en las reuniones y actividades escolares. De los resultados de la investigación se desprende la necesidad de formación del profesorado, de utilización de nuevas estrategias metodológicas, cambios organizativos y curriculares, y elaboración de materiales adecuados, con el fin de avanzar hacia modelos próximos a la educación intercultural.

Prevalence and determinants of type 2 diabetes among Filipino Americans in Houston metropolitan statistical area, Texas

Diabetes in adults (type 2) has emerged as a world health problem. Prevalence and risk factors have been found to vary in different populations. The wide range of prevalence rates worldwide indicates the importance of genetic and environmental factors in the etiology of the disease. The few available studies suggest that Filipinos are among the higher-risk groups for developing diabetes. This cross-sectional study estimated the overall prevalence rate of type 2 diabetes among Filipino Americans, ages 20–74 years and residents of Houston Metropolitan Statistical Area, Texas, to be 16.1%. The observed high prevalence was associated with age, sex, family history of diabetes, obesity, region of birth; and, in women, gestational diabetes and income. The diabetic Filipino Americans had a higher proportion of parental history of diabetes, medical history of hypertension, and history of smoking; were physically less active, but generally non-obese, compared with the United States diabetic population. ^

requirements for Filipino performing artists, effectively closing this migration channel. I employ a difference-in-differences estimation strategy using the share of performing artists at baseline in each Philippine province as a continuous policy variable. International migration falls in response to the policy change by 1.2%. The effect on international migration is larger than the policy change itself would suggest, indicating the importance of spillovers across migrant occupations. Domestically, more children are employed, and adults are more likely to be unemployed or engaged in short-term work.

Controversy over the Taxation of Recogidas in the Philippines in the mid- 18th Century. The Case of Santa Rita de Pasig’s Spiritual Absorption

This article studies the house of seclusion established for devout Indian and mestizo laywomen in the town of Pasig in 1740, and the dispute over tribute obligations that affected retreated or “pious” women. Founded outside of the Royal Patronato, this house of seclusion was extraordinarily attractive as a place for voluntary retreat and as an educational center. The dispute over tribute payments brought to light misgivings and conflicts of interest between the parties involved, while revealing the fundamental problem: the traditionally undefined juridical status of this type of establishment on the Islands. The solution given to the problem (tribute exemption) was to be extended to other similar centers in the Philippines. This article, realized with the use of unpublished documentation from the General Archives of the Indies, contributes therefore to our knowledge of the world of women in the Philippine archipelago; an ambit of great complexity that, as of yet, has been insufficiently studied.
