Turismo rural y paisaje en zonas de montaña. Propuesta metodológica para identificar sus relaciones en las Sierras Meridionales de la Provincia de Albacete

Las zonas de montaña cuentan con especificidades geográficas y socioeconómicas. En ellas, a partir del patrimonio territorial natural y cultural, se ha producido un considerable impulso del turismo rural, que ha centrado el interés en la valoración de la singularidad y variedad de los paisajes. En este caso se presta atención a las sierras meridionales de la provincia de Albacete. El trabajo se apoya en una metodología que combina el uso de encuestas de preferencias de turistas y técnicas cartográficas a partir de algunas variables del sistema turístico en el medio rural. El trabajo se inserta dentro de los paradigmas del desarrollo local y el desarrollo sostenible, aplicado a los espacios rurales y a las zonas de montaña media del sureste de Castilla-La Mancha. La hipótesis se centra en la consideración del paisaje como elemento medular del turismo rural.

The Neolithic of El Niño cave (Ayna, Albacete) in the Sierra del Segura context

Since its excavation in the summer of 1973, El Niño cave has been considered a key site to understand the process of production economy and pottery technology introduction in South-eastern Iberian Peninsula, and especially to approach how such process could have affected people already settled in the Segura mountains. However, data from El Niño cave was very fragmentary, due to the lack of a broad study of Neolithic occupations of the site. In this paper, we present the analysis of pottery, lithic industry and faunal remains, as well as the existing dates from the site´s Holocene levels. The review of different evidence from the site allows suggesting that El Niño cave would have probably acted as a hunting and shepherding station, being a logistical site of larger places. However, limitations due to the fact that we are dealing with a 40- year-old excavation, prevent specifying how the process of Neolithic introduction in the Segura Mountains occurred.

Hotel-Balneario Azuaje

[ES]El hotel-balneario de Azuaje se contruyó a finales del s. XIX para acoger a las personas que venían a disfrutar de las aguas medicinales del barranco de Azuaje. Abandonado y muy deteriorado se ha convertido en una ruina que llama a senderistas y visitantes de la zona. En este proyecto se trabaja sobre el edificio existente y se mantiene el mismo como recuerdo de las historias vividas en el.

Uso del Geometricks en Didáctica de la Matemática: triángulo equilátero y fractales

La introducción de las nuevas Tecnologías de la Información y la Comunicación (TIC) en la sociedad actual y en la Educación es hoy una realidad. En Educación se ha incorporado la tecnología multimedia como un elemento más del proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje. En Matemáticas, existen numerosas aplicaciones informáticas diseñadas expresamente para favorecer el aprendizaje o la construcción de determinados conceptos. En este trabajo se presenta un software de geometría dinámica, el Geometricks. Tras describir el uso del software y su potencialidad en el aula, se proponen unas actividades para su uso en el aula.

El papel como material didáctico en la construcción de la geometría plana

La geometría en el currículo de secundaria se introduce con la intención de proporcionar al alumno una mayor capacidad de comprensión de la organización espacial del mundo que nos rodea, exigiendo para ello un aprendizaje sistematizado. Con este propósito, el ``Grupo PI' trabaja en el desarrollo de actividades para el aula utilizando un material económico y de fácil adquisición como es el papel. El objetivo es proporcionar al profesor un material eficaz para el trabajo en el aula y aproximar a los alumnos a la Geometría Plana a través de una serie de tareas estructuradas que logran una mayor significatividad del proceso de aprendizaje. Se emplearán axiomas del origami para crear secuencias que permitan la construcción de representaciones significativas en los procesos de aprendizaje. Por último, intentaremos mostrar a los profesores la utilidad del papel como material didáctico en la construcción de conocimiento geométrico.

Discourses on Modernization in the Employment Public Services: Towards a New Form of Governance?

The “crisis of the social issue” in the EU has led to a certain consensus in the need to renew the organizational and institutional model of public administration. The core of the reform implies important administrative changes in most of the European welfare states. Those changes are inspired on theories such as the new public management, management by objectives or partnership. Such changes involve both semantic (“sharing responsibilities”, “effective costs”, or the substitution of “citizen under an administration” by “consumer”) and political (predominance of scattered forms of power and the individualization of responsibilities) transformations which operate in the framework of individuals and State relations. The paradigms of activation and flexicurity have been central in this public administration modernization project. This commitment with new forms of governance of social issues has important consequences for the political and moral foundations of social cohesion, and the Spanish case is not an exception. This paper aims at looking at those representations of “modernization” (as they appear in debates about the employment services restructuring policies) in detail as well as providing references to the trajectory of such reforms of public services since the early eighties to the beginning of the crisis.

Continuous assessment activities - correlation with final exam grades and effect on final grades. A business studies experience

In this paper we analyze the partial grades – of continuous assessment activities including the final exam – and the final grades – computed as a weighted average of partial grades – for nine subjects taught in the third year of Business Administration Degree. On one hand, results show that there is a significant positive correlation between the grades of continuous assessment activities (excluded the final exam) and final exam in seven subjects. On the other hand, overall we find that students’ grades in continuous assessment activities (excluded the final exam) help in the improvement of their final grades (i.e., students’ final grades exceed the grades that they would obtain by only taking into account their final exam grades). The results are consistent when the analysis is carried out over each subject area as well as over the grades of the students who registered for the nine subjects.

Art as an educative and social tool

Since remote times, certain sectors of society have been exposed to inequality and vulnerability, where adequate intervention processes have become conspicuous because of their absence. Nowadays, current societies have the responsibility of contributing, based on their experience and knowledge, with more efficient policies and programs that improve the life quality of the most disadvantaged. It is here where art and its different tools play a very important role, not only on a physical level, but also as an education tool that allows the development of emotional, mental and communicative skills. The aim of this paper is to make clear the potential of art as an instrument of social and educational intervention. It starts by showing worldwide-collected experience related to education and arts, and then, it acquaints the reader with two parallel intervention projects that worked with youths under social vulnerability conditions. These interventions were developed based on a qualitative research (Grounded theory), using as methodology “The Artistic Mediation” with emphasis on body language. This methodology helped researchers to get close to the participants and to know their experiences and emotions. At the same time, it was possible to evidence the positive effects of educative interventions through art. These workshops were based on an artistic methodology especially focused on body language. Data in this work is qualitative, and as such, it permits a special approach to the personal and emotional experiences of the participants; clearly showing the positive effects of the referenced practice on them.

Teachers’ perception of visual deficiencies and their impact on students

The sense of vision is people’s main source of information acquisition, hence the importance of a right diagnosis and correction, if necessary, of any faults for proper learning, especially in the early years of schooling. This article discusses the results of a survey of teachers in Andalusian schools that aimed at highlighting their knowledge of their students’ possible visual deficiencies, and its possible impact on school performance. The results indicate that such knowledge is generally limited to the type of refractive anomalies, and that they think that such anomalies are well treated in their students. Despite the importance they attach to these deficiencies on school learning, they think that other factors may have a greater role. They also consider that better training on this topic is necessary.
