Estudios sobre la transmisión escolar de las memorias de la última dictadura militar

El artículo presenta las diferentes perspectivas que abordan el tema de la transmisión de la memoria de la dictadura en la escuela. Estas perspectivas analizan aspectos diferentes: los vectores de transmisión, las narrativas dominantes en cada momento histórico, los trabajos subjetivos de los actores involucrados, la incidencia del carácter traumático de la última dictadura en los procesos de transmisión. Estos estudios incluyen los análisis de libros de texto y libros de historia de la escuela secundaria, los actos escolares, las efemérides y otras fuentes. En cuanto a la transmisión de la memoria, los estudios existentes permiten formular preguntas que aún siguen sin respuesta, sobre todo las relacionadas con la forma en que esa transmisión se produce y hace posible las reinterpretaciones del pasado

La educación media superior en México ante el reto de su universalización

En México, se legisló en octubre del 2011 la universalización de la educación media superior. En este contexto el artículo aborda los retos que presenta esta decisión desde la perspectiva de la oferta educativa en sus diferentes modalidades pero también los sentidos del bachillerato para los estudiantes, el nuevo público rural y los problemas de abandono escolar. Discute el tema de la diversificación necesaria y la desigualdad que la acompaña. Caracteriza la Reforma de la Educación Media Superior y la instauración del Sistema Nacional de Bachillerato desde un enfoque administrativo de la gestión y termina apuntando aspectos que habría que fortalecer desde una perspectiva pedagógica y de los sujetos. El escrito se sustenta por un lado en documentos oficiales y en datos del Instituto Nacional para la Evaluación de la Educación y por el otro en hallazgos de la línea de investigación cualitativa "Jóvenes y bachillerato"

Los profesores y la transmisión de la historia argentina reciente: entre el currículum y el contexto

El pasado cercano, traumático, doloroso y abierto de los años 70-80, signados por la violencia política y el terrorismo de Estado, se encuentra en la agenda de la transmisión escolar. Como contenido de historia y ciencias sociales y de diversos actos de conmemoración, esta historia reciente interpela a las instituciones escolares y a los profesores. ¿Cómo se construyen las prácticas docentes en torno a esta historia reciente? ¿Qué lecturas y traducciones realizan los profesores de las prescripciones oficiales? ¿Qué lugar ocupa la historia reciente en la enseñanza de la historia argentina del siglo XX? ¿Cómo se materializan las conmemoraciones y clases alusivas acerca del tema? Estas preguntas han guiado nuestra indagación y nuestro diálogo con profesores de Ciudad y Provincia de Buenos Aires (que ejercen en secundaria, EGB3 o Polimodal) A partir de la voz de estos protagonistas, el trabajo pretende reconstruir la trama que participa en la transmisión de la historia reciente; un entramado cruzado, entre otros elementos, por la propia historia de la enseñanza de la historia, las tradiciones escolares y las políticas institucionales.

Los jóvenes entre la historia y la política : Primeras aproximaciones a las representaciones de la democracia, los gobiernos militares y la participación política de alumnos de la escuela secundaria

El presente trabajo forma parte del proyecto de investigación "Los jóvenes frente a la Historia" dirigido por Luis Cerri y Gonzalo de Amézola, cuyo objeto es abordar el estado actual de la enseñanza y del aprendizaje de la Historia en Argentina, Brasil y Uruguay. El proyecto parte de reconocer como problema la "falta de conocimientos sistemáticos sobre los resultados de la enseñanza de la historia, las características de la conciencia histórica y la cultura política de los jóvenes". El artículo centra su análisis en las respuestas a las preguntas referidas a los gobiernos militares, la democracia y el futuro de los jóvenes, presentes en una encuesta que realizaron en el 2008 alumnos de entre 15 y 16 años de distintas escuelas de la Argentina para acercarnos a sus conocimientos sobre dichos conceptos y al papel de la enseñanza de la Historia en su construcción. Al mismo tiempo se utilizan registros de clases de escuelas secundarias de la ciudad de La Plata para conocer de modo cualitativo las modalidades concretas que asumen las prácticas de la enseñanza en historia en las aulas

From Secondary School To University: Attracting Young Students Towards A Career In Nuclear

From its creation, Spanish Young Generation in Nuclear (Jóvenes Nucleares, JJNN), a non-profit organization that depends on the Spanish Nuclear Society (SNE), has as an important scope to help spread knowledge about nuclear energy, not only pointing out its advantages and its role in our society, but also trying to correct some of the ideas that are due to the biased information and to the lack of knowledge. To try to have success in that goal, some high school lectures were taught and it has been organized regularly a Basic Course on Nuclear Science and Technology

Comprehensive Validation Of A Measure Of Student School Engagement: A Pilot Study Of Middle School Students

Although it may sound reasonable that American education continues to be more effective at sending high school students to college, in a study conducted in 2009, The Council of the Great City Schools states that "slightly more than half of entering ninth grade students arrive performing below grade level in reading and math, while one in five entering ninth grade students is more than two years behind grade level...[and] 25% received support in the form of remedial literacy instruction or interventions" (Council of the Great City Schools, 2009). Students are distracted with technology (Lei & Zhao, 2005), family (Xu & Corno, 2003), medical illnesses (Nielson, 2009), learning disabilities and perhaps the most detrimental to academic success, the very lack of interest in school (Ruch, 1963). In a Johns Hopkins research study, Building a Graduation Nation - Colorado (Balfanz, 2008), warning signs were apparent years before the student dropped out of high school. The ninth grade was often referenced as a critical point that indicated success or failure to graduate high school. The research conducted by Johns Hopkins illustrates the problem: students who become disengaged from school have a much greater chance of dropping out of high school and not graduating. The first purpose of this study was to compare different measurement models of the Student School Engagement (SSE) using Factor Analysis to verify model fit with student engagement. The second purpose was to determine the extent to which the SSE instrument measures student school engagement by investigating convergent validity (via the SSE and Appleton, Christenson, Kim and Reschly's instrument and Fredricks, Blumenfeld, Friedel and Paris's instrument), discriminant validity (via Huebner's Student Life Satisfaction Survey) and criterion-related validity (via the sub-latent variables of Aspirations, Belonging and Productivity and student outcome measures such as achievement, attendance and discipline). Discriminant validity was established between the SSE and the Appleton, Christenson, Kim and Reschly's model and Fredricks, Blumenfeld, Friedel and Paris's (2005) Student Engagement Instruments (SEI). When confirming discriminant validity, the SSE's correlations were weak and statistically not significant, thus establishing discriminant validity with the SLSS. Criterion-related validity was established through structural equation modeling when the SSE was found to be a significant predictor of student outcome measures when both risk score and CSAP scores were used. The third purpose of this study was to assess the factorial invariance of the SSE instrument across gender to ensure the instrument is measuring the intended construct across different groups. Conclusively, configural, weak and metric invariances were established for the SSE as a non-significant change in chi-square indicating that all parameters including the error variances were invariant across groups of gender. Engagement is not a clearly defined psychological construct; it requires more research in order to fully comprehend its complexity. Hopefully, with parental and teacher involvement and a sense of community, student engagement can be nurtured to result in a meaningful attachment to school and academic success.

Psychometric properties of the Spanish adaptation of the School Attitude Assessment Survey-Revised

Background: The assessment of attitudes toward school with the objective of identifying adolescents who may be at risk of underachievement has become an important area of research in educational psychology, although few specific tools for their evaluation have been designed to date. One of the instruments available is the School Attitude Assessment Survey-Revised (SAAS-R). Method: The objective of the current research is to test the construct validity and to analyze the psychometric properties of the Spanish version of the SAAS-R. Data were collected from 1,398 students attending different high schools. Students completed the SAAS-R along with measures of the g factor, and academic achievement was obtained from school records. Results: Confirmatory factor analysis, multivariate analysis of variance and analysis of variance tests supported the validity evidence. Conclusions: The results indicate that the Spanish version of the SAAS-R is a useful measure that contributes to identification of underachieving students. Lastly, the results obtained and their implications for education are discussed.

Prospective associations between meth/amphetamine (speed) and MDMA (ecstasy) use and depressive symptoms in secondary school students

Background Research has raised significant concern regarding the affective consequences of synthetic drug use. However, little evidence from well-controlled longitudinal studies exists on these consequences. The aim of this study was to determine whether use of meth/amphetamine (speed) and 63,4- methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA, ecstasy) is independently predictive of subsequent depressive symptoms in adolescents. Methods A sample of 3880 adolescents from secondary schools in disadvantaged areas of Quebec, Canada, were followed over time (2003e2008). Logistic regression was used to test the association between meth/ amphetamine and MDMA use in grade 10 (ages 15e16 years) and elevated depressive symptoms on an abridged Center for Epidemiologic Studies-Depression scale in grade 11, controlling for pre-existing individual and contextual characteristics. Results After adjustment, both MDMA use (OR 1.7, 95% CI 1.1 to 2.6) and meth/amphetamine use (OR 1.6, 95% CI 1.1 to 2.3) in grade 10 significantly increased the odds of elevated depressive symptoms in grade 11. These relationships did not vary by gender or pre-existing depressive symptoms. Increased risk was particularly observed in concurrent usage (OR 1.9, 95% CI 1.2 to 2.9). Conclusions Adolescent use of meth/amphetamine and MDMA (particularly concurrent use) is independently associated with subsequent depressive symptoms. Further enquiry must determine whether these associations reflect drug-induced neurotoxicity and whether adolescence is a period of increased vulnerability to the hazards of synthetic drug exposure.
