Authors: Belete Yitagesu
Published: June 2024

The study aimed to test the hypothesis that there is a significant relationship between students' community engagement practice and their academic performance. The study covered 284 students in total. Data were gathered with the help of the questionnaire. The participants were divided into two groups based on their questionnaire responses: "community-engaged students" and "no community-engaged students." Based on average scores, standard deviation, descriptive statistics, t-tests, and the chi-square test of independence, the data were then examined using SPSS 25. According to the study's findings, students actively involved in their communities received higher grades than those not at all involved. Moreover, while community engagement may have been believed to affect academic achievement, it is statistically significant in this study. Besides, there was a statistically significant association between gender and community engagement in the study. In addition, the study found that students' geographical backgrounds and community engagement were significantly associated. Based on the study's findings, it has been concluded that community engagement and students’ academic success, gender, and geographical background have significant associations.

Authors: Pulatkan Müberra , Ercan Oğuztürk Gülcay
Published: June 2024

The family Ericaceae is a large family of Angiosperms spread throughout the temperate regions of the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. It includes plants, shrubs and trees that are often found in acidic and inefficient growing conditions. It offers ecologically based and sustainable landscape design alternatives by using natural species in plant designs. Many species of the Ericaceae family are naturally found in the mountainous and forested areas of Turkey, which is a very rich country in terms of plant species diversity with its geographical location and climate characteristics. Landscape designs created using natural vegetation offer ecologically based and sustainable alternatives. However, in urban areas, natural vegetation is not utilized sufficiently and efficiently. These plants, which create a visual impact with the beauty of their forms, leaves, flowers and fruits in the rural landscape of Turkey, have not found sufficient use in the urban landscape, despite the favorable conditions in terms of climate and growing environment. In this study, the morphological characteristics and landscape usage possibilities of some Ericaceae family plants that grow naturally in Turkey and can be used to create effective landscapes with their aesthetic properties were investigated. It is aimed to encourage the use of these natural species, which have high potential in terms of sustainable and economic applications, in open-green areas.

Published: June 2024

Purpose: The general objective of this study was to verify the relationship between the intention to consume dietary supplements and perceived risk, broken down into perceived risk in relation to health and perceived risk in relation to product performance.Design/methodology/approach: Descriptive-quantitative research was carried out via an online survey through a structured questionnaire based on the scales of Laroche et al. (2005) and DelVecchio and Smith (2005). Data analysis was performed using multiple linear regression analysis. Of the total number of questionnaires answered, 207 were considered valid.Findings: The result of the study points to statistical significance for the research hypotheses, confirming that the lower the perceived risk associated with the purchase of dietary supplements in relation to product performance and health damage, the greater the intention of consumption by individuals in this category of product.Originality/value: The confirmation of the role of risk in the consumer’s decision process leads to the observation that this risk perception is not always based on reliable information, for example, from the guidance of nutritionists and doctors. Thus, only the presentation in the communication of the effectiveness of the product and how beneficial it can be to human health, carried out by agents without technical knowledge, may not be enough for the real risks of consuming such products to be neglected.

KARAİM TÜRKÇESİNDE ARAPÇA-FARSÇA ALINTILAR
Authors: Öner Mustafa
Published: June 2024

Tarihî süreçleri içinde Museviliği kabul etmiş olan Karaim (veya Karay) Türkleri, günümüzdeki Türk toplulukları arasında dil ve kültür bakımından son derecede ilgi çekici özelliklere sahiptir. Eski yurtları olan Kırım’dan tarihî göçlerle Polonya’ya ve Litvanya’ya göç eden Karay grupları, iç içe yaşadıkları komşu toplulukların dillerinden yaptıkları alıntılarla da kendisine has bir Türk lehçesi geliştirmiştir.
Karay dininin kutsal dili olan İbranice din terimlerinin yanı sıra, Kırım tarihinin başlıca yerleşik Türk grubunu meydana getiren Tatar Türkleri vasıtasıyla geçen Arap-Fars alıntıları ve nihayet Rus egemenliğinin güçlü bir şekilde hissedilmeye başladığı XIX. yüzyılda görülen Rusça alıntılar söz konusudur. Bunlara Karay gruplarının halen yaşadıkları Ukrayna, Rusya, Polonya ve Litvanya’daki yerel alıntıları da katınca Karay Türkçesi söz varlığının renkli yapısı ortaya çıkmış olur.
Karay Türkçesinin eldeki en geniş sözlüğünden (Karaimsko-russko-pol’skiy slovar’) ve matbu edebî kaynaklardan yararlanarak tespit edilen söz varlığındaki Arap-Fars alıntılarının leksikolojik özellikleri makalenin esas konusudur. Böylece aslında İslam dairesindeki Türk topluluklarının dillerinde ve yazılı abidelerinde görüle gelen bu Arap-Fars alıntılarının Musevi inancına bağlı Karaimlerin söz varlığında hangi anlam tabakalarını meydana getirdiği tahlil edilmektedir. Ayrıca bu alıntıların var olan Türkçe varyantları da karşılaştırılmaktadır.
TÜRKÇEDE VAROŞ SÖZCÜĞÜNÜN ANLAM KATMANLARI
Authors: Şirin Hatice
Published: June 2024

The aim of this article is to study the semantics of the word varoş (of Hungarian origin) in Turkish that was borrowed possibly from a Slavic language in the early 16th century. The reasons why the original meaning of the word, used for centuries, went through various intermediate stages in the historical process, ultimately taking on negative meanings to refer to someone who is considered to be ignorant, uneducated and vulgar have been studied. The intralingual and non-linguistic impacts on the changes of the meaning of the word varoş have been argued. Hence, this article argues how varoş, which has been neutrally used as an urbanology term in Turkish for more than four hundred years, today defines heterogeneous social classes and a subculture that these represent.

Stagflationary pressures in the condition of global economic shocks
Authors: Pejčić Jovica , Sekulić Aleksandar , Glavaški Olgica
Published: June 2024

This paper analyses the key macroeconomic repercussions of the global pandemic and geopolitical crisis in terms of growing recessionary and inflationary pressures, and finally, the potential occurrence of stagflation. The subject of the econometric analysis is aimed at seeing how global energy price movements, unemployment rates, interest rates and money supply affect: (1) real gross domestic product; and 2) the movement of the inflation rate in the sample of 18 countries (EU-15, USA, Norway and Switzerland) in the period 2020q1-2023q1. Using Panel-corrected standard errors method (PCSE), two panel models are estimated in which the dependent variables are: (a) the real gross domestic product, showing potential recessionary pressures, and (b) the inflation rate, determining inflationary pressures. Results indicated that in the observed period, inflationary and recessionary pressures existed in the sample of 18 developed economies, as well as that these pressures can be characterized as the phenomenon of stagflation. The most profound impact on recessionary circumstances was caused by the rise in global energy prices in the second and third quarters of 2022, which can be considered as an exogenous shock and trigger of recessionary pressures, while inflationary pressures are dominantly determined by global oil price growth during the analysed period.

Authors: Lukić-Nikolić Jelena , Mirković Vladimir
Published: June 2024

Emotional exhaustion has become a ubiquitous phenomenon in the banking sector. In this paper, empirical research was conducted using a specially designed questionnaire with the aim of assessing the emotional exhaustion of employees in the banking sector in Serbia in relation to their gender, length of work in the bank and contact with clients. During 2022, responses were collected from 136 respondents. In the data processing, non-parametric tests (Mann-Whitney U-test and Kruskal-Wallis H-test) were applied. The research results showed that the feeling of emotional exhaustion is more prevalent and frequent among men, compared to women, but that these differences are not statistically significant. Also, the research results indicated statistically significant differences in respondents' answers to the statements related to the feeling of tiredness and the feeling that they work too much, depending on the length of work in banks. Statistically significant differences exist in the answers of respondents who have contact with clients at their job and those who do not.
Halo nevus
Authors: Jandrić-Kočić Marijana , Knežević Snežana
Published: June 2024

Halo nevi (leukoderma acquisitum centrifugum, Sutton's nevus, leukopigmentary nevus, perinevoid vitiligo or perinevoid leukoderma) are melanocytic nevi surrounded by a halo of hypopigmentation or depigmentation. They are significantly more common in children and young people, with a peak incidence at the age of 15, without gender or racial predilection. The usual clinical course of a halo nevus involves gradual involution and subsequent complete regression of a centrally placed nevus that leaves behind an area of depigmentation. Typical halo nevi do not require treatment. Exceptionally, halo nevi develop from dysplastic nevi and malignant neoplasms of the skin (halo phenomenon). The paper presents a 12-year-old boy with changes in nevi on his back. During the last summer, a pale band developed around two nevi. The nevi became lighter and shrank. One of them has completely disappeared. Apart from basal cell carcinoma in the father, the presence of other atypical nevi, melanoma, vitiligo and autoimmune diseases in the personal and family anamnesis was not established. A typical halo nevus is diagnosed by clinical and dermatological examination and regular dermatological monitoring is advised. Halo nevi mostly develop from an acquired melanocytic nevus, but can be seen in dysplastic nevi, basal cell carcinoma, and melanoma. A thorough medical history, careful clinical and dermatological examination make it possible to identify atypical halo nevi that require a biopsy.

Graves' disease is an autoimmune disorder in which TSH receptor antibodies play the main pathogenic role. Besides the usual clinical presentation as hyperthyroidism, extrathyroidal manifestations can develop. Thyroid dermopathy is one of them and it is present in about 0.5-4.3% of cases, mostly in patients with thyroid orbitopathy as main extrathyroidal manifestation. Dermopathy can manifest in different forms: non-pitting edema, plaques, nodules and elephantiasis. We are reporting a case of a patient with thyrotoxicosis caused by Graves' disease with ocular extrathyroidal manifestation and dermopathy in elephantiasis form, confirmed by punch biopsy. Corticosteroid therapy significantly improved ocular manifestations, as well as skin lesions. Elephantiasis represents the most severe form of this disease and can be resistant to any treatment thus why it is a major therapeutic challenge.
Training and education of detectives: (Real) need or mere formality
Authors: Đukić Siniša , Gostimirović Ladin
Published: June 2024

This paper examines the issue of training and education of detectives as one of the prerequisites for high-quality and efficient performance of detective work. It is considered that the training should be, to the greatest extent possible, adapted to specific jobs and areas of detective work. Also, training should be part of the overall process of integrating detectives into the security system, that is, the private security sector. The concepts of detective training differ from country to country in terms of the content and structure of the program, duration, organization of implementation or non-implementation, which all together makes it very difficult to compare the results. There is no absolute standardization in this area, as well as relevant research on this topic and related areas. In this regard, the authors emphasize that detective training is an insufficiently researched issue that should be given much more attention. For the purposes of this paper, a comparative legal analysis of the legal regulations and by-laws that treat the models of detective training in Bosnia and Herzegovina and the surrounding countries - the Republic of Serbia, Montenegro and the Republic of Croatia - was performed. Based on the analysis, it can be concluded that different systems of training and education of candidates are in force, from the classic model where the curriculum is implemented according to the subject-modular concept, to mentoring work and internship practice. The aim of this work is to encourage a more comprehensive study of the training and education of detectives and to propose more adequate models suitable for the current time and the detective field of work.
Services quality as a factor for bridging the gap between expected and perceived services in agency business
Authors: Jocić Lidija , Vujko Aleksandra , Panić Aleksa
Published: June 2024

The paper is based on the assumption that quality service is a factor in achieving competitive advantage and positioning on the tourist market of agency business, and that quality is achieved through a series of relationships in the tourist-employee relationship. If the employee treats the tourist with respect, provides accurate and reliable information and exceeds the tourist's expectations with the service provided, he will get a loyal guest who will, based on the "word of mouth " system, spread positive experiences to the others, so they will also become clients of the agency. If we look at tourism as a "factory" of experiences, it is clear that for an extremely positive experience, it is necessary that every link in the series of providing a complex tourist service is of high quality. The first in a series of links is certainly the tourist agency. The modified SERVQUAL model led to the conclusion that tourists who traveled with the Asturs agency received adequate "value for money", that is, that the service provided by the agency was of better quality than expected.
The resource base as the basis of sustainable tourism development in the Palić Nature Park
Authors: Trišić Igor
Published: June 2024

The Palić Nature Park has significant potential in terms of the resource base of sustainable tourism. This resource base forms natural and social motives, which with proper tourism development can contribute to overall sustainability. The subject of research in this work is the resource base that can contribute to the development of sustainable tourism in this protected area. As tourism factors can be of a complementary type, a condition is created for the formation of a unique tourism product. By properly implementing these factors into the tourism offer, and by promoting this destination with its natural and social potential, protection systems can be improved, socio-cultural values can be strengthened and significant economic income can be achieved. A large part of the income can be refinanced into the protection and improvement of the natural and social values of this protected area. At the same time, this constitutes a circular system of sustainable tourism development, in which ecological, economic, socio-cultural and institutional principles of sustainability stand out as important. The qualitative methodology was used in the research. The qualitative methodology included the analysis of various research results, as well as the field examination of resources for the development of sustainable tourism. The results of the research can contribute to the development of planning documents for the development of tourism in the Palić Nature Park and other protected areas.

Published: June 2024

Confectionery has always been considered an art form. From the original form to what it is considered to be today, a long development period preceded, and the desserts transformed into real work of art. The appearance of a prepared and served dish is one of the most important factors of its attractiveness on the market. Also, it is considered to be one of the main motivators when making a decision about their purchase. In fact, consumers who have expectations related to a certain product must be stimulated by sensory characteristics, the first of which is the appearance. The first data on the decoration of sweets dates back to ancient Rome, and the techniques and means of decoration have been shaped and continue to be adapted to the needs of the market. Today, there are many different techniques used in decorating sweets, and the pastry chef must be precise and concise in portaying his emotions to the finished product, through the decoration. Consumers are guided by primal instincts and choose simpler, more reduced decorations that follow the taste of the confection with their appearance. The objective of the research is to analiyze the impact of the confectionary decoration on consumer behavior. The aim of the work is to obtain information about the importance of the the pastry product decoration on consumers through consumer surveys. The research was conducted by surveying consumers in A.P. Vojvodina (R. Serbia), and the collected data was processed using descriptive statistics.

Authors: Kieliszek Zdzisław
Published: June 2024

In modern world, full of conflicts, social inequality, and cultural diversity, understanding justice is becoming a crucial task. The purpose of this study was to thoroughly investigate the concepts of justice in different traditions of philosophy to reveal the diversity and common features of understanding this concept. For this, the study employed a combination of methods of literary analysis and comparative analysis, followed by an interpretation of the concepts of justice in different cultures and religious traditions, as well as the historical method of research. The study resulted in the coverage of various concepts of justice in different traditions of philosophy, from antiquity to modernity, including the contributions of such prominent philosophers as Plato, Aristotle, Rousseau, Kant, and others. Furthermore, the study noted the significance of investigating social, economic, legal, and global justice as key aspects of modern society, which helps to identify ways to create a more just and equitable world. Economic justice was defined as a principle that provides equal access to economic resources and opportunities for all members of society. Social justice, as it turned out, has many dimensions, including equality of opportunity, distribution of resources and recognition of the dignity of every person. As for legal justice, the study showed that it is based on the principles of equality before the law, the right to defence and fair trial. Finally, global equity was considered as a principle that implies equality of participation and influence at the international level, as well as a responsible attitude towards global issues such as poverty, inequality, and climate change. The findings of this study can be used in academic circles to further analyse the concepts of justice, expand the theoretical understanding of the essence of justice, and its impact on various spheres of society, and can be used in educational institutions to teach students of philosophy, sociology, law, and other fields that study the principles of justice and their historical development

La educación superior se ha convertido en un escenario que demanda, cada vez más, modelos híbridos de aprendizaje basados en la enseñanza presencial y virtual. Concretamente, esta etapa educativa parte de un periodo de complejidad para el adulto emergente, el cual debe desarrollar estrategias de aprendizaje para evitar el estrés académico. Este estudio presenta un diseño cuantitativo, de carácter descriptivo, ex post facto y corte transversal con una medición en un único grupo. El objetivo fue contrastar un modelo de ecuaciones estructurales que integra estrategias de aprendizaje, estrés académico y autoconcepto multidimensional en una muestra constituida por 2.736 estudiantes universitarios [♂ = 33,8% (n=924); ♀ = 66,2% (n=1.812)] con una edad media de 23,33±5,77 años, empleando como instrumentos los test MLSQ-SF, AF-5 y la escala de estrés académico en la universidad. El análisis estadístico se realizó con el software IBM SPSS® v.23.0 e IBM Amos® v.23.0. Los resultados muestran un mayor desarrollo de estrategias de aprendizaje en las modalidades de enseñanza virtual. El pensamiento crítico se configuró como más dependiente del desarrollo de estrategias de aprendizaje en modalidades presenciales, mientras que los hábitos de estudio estuvieron más asociados con la autorregulación del esfuerzo en modalidades online. Además, la motivación fue más determinante para el pensamiento crítico y el tiempo de estudio en esta modalidad. Para finalizar, el autoconcepto se asoció negativamente con el estrés, obteniendo mayores pesos de regresión en las modalidades a distancia, revelando su carácter preventivo. Puede concluirse que las modalidades virtuales favorecen una mayor interdependencia de estrategias de aprendizaje, tiempo de estudio y motivación, lo cual podría disminuir el estrés y favorecer el desempeño académico en un contexto social que demanda, cada vez más, modelos híbridos de aprendizaje.

Aunque se reconoce el efecto de la investigación educativa en la mejora de los procesos de enseñanza y de aprendizaje en las escuelas, la traslación de los resultados de estudios científicos a la práctica educativa no es frecuente ni siempre efectiva. Factores relativos a la naturaleza de las investigaciones, las culturas organizativas de los centros escolares y las características profesionales del profesorado y los equipos directivos parecen influir en estos procesos. Este artículo tiene como objetivo analizar la visión de los directivos acerca del valor y formas de uso de la investigación en la acción educativa. Los resultados presentados provienen de un estudio cualitativo en el que participaron 15 miembros de equipos directivos escolares pertenecientes a seis provincias españolas. La recogida de información se llevó a cabo a través de entrevistas semiestructuradas. El análisis se realizó empleando un sistema de categorías generado de forma inductiva y negociado por los miembros del equipo de investigación. Los resultados confirman el limitado empleo de conocimiento científico por los prácticos, así como algunos factores que lo facilitan o dificultan. Se subraya la necesidad de dar un giro en las temáticas de estudio, las formas de investigar y la manera de mostrar los resultados. Se enfatiza, asimismo, el papel clave que pueden jugar las direcciones escolares en el acercamiento de la investigación a la práctica ofreciendo apoyos o generando condiciones que promuevan el análisis y reflexión sobre la investigación, su sentido y la aplicabilidad de sus resultados.
Acciones para la igualdad de género en las áreas científico-técnicas de las universidades españolas

En este artículo se analizan las acciones llevadas a cabo en las universidades españolas para alcanzar la igualdad de género en las disciplinas científico-técnicas, donde las mujeres siguen estando infrarrepresentadas y existe una baja transversalización de la perspectiva de género que puede afectar a la investigación y a la innovación. Para realizar un diagnóstico de la situación se elaboró una encuesta dirigida a las unidades de igualdad que forman parte de la Red de Unidades de Igualdad de Género para la Excelencia Universitaria (RUIGEU). La encuesta estaba formada por trece preguntas relativas a: las acciones para favorecer el acceso y permanencia de las mujeres en las áreas PECS (Physics, Engineering, Computer, Science), el reconocimiento de trabajos de estudiantes realizados con perspectiva de género, la valoración de la docencia e investigación con perspectiva de género, la visibilización y reconocimiento de investigadoras y las acciones para la igualdad efectiva. Esta encuesta era anónima y fue respondida por veintiocho unidades. De las respuestas obtenidas podemos extraer una baja implicación de las universidades para impulsar la igualdad en este ámbito. Además, el análisis de arquetipos nos muestra que sólo cinco de las universidades que participaron en este estudio están comprometidas con la igualdad en el ámbito científico-técnico y llevan a cabo acciones para conseguirlo. Estos resultados ponen de manifiesto, por un lado, que es posible implementar acciones para la igualdad en este ámbito y, por otro lado, que necesitamos de la colaboración de otras instituciones (Ministerio de Universidades, Agencia Nacional para la Evaluación de la Acreditación (ANECA) y Conferencia de Rectores de la Universidad Española (Crue)) para impulsar la igualdad en todas las universidades.
Educación sexual y coeducación: perspectivas de las familias, el profesorado y la población adolescente

La educación sexual desde el enfoque de la coeducación contribuye al desarrollo integral de la adolescencia y promueve una sociedad más justa, igualitaria e inclusiva. Esta investigación, estructurada en dos estudios secuenciales, está basada en un paradigma metodológico mixto que combina el enfoque cuantitativo y el cualitativo. El objetivo ha sido analizar el inicio y la duración de las relaciones románticas que tienen lugar en la etapa adolescente, así como profundizar en la forma de abordar la educación sexual en los hogares y en los centros educativos de Castilla-La Mancha, a través de la perspectiva de profesorado, familias y adolescentes. La muestra del primer estudio está formada por 1840 adolescentes; la muestra del segundo estudio, por 109 adolescentes, 11 docentes, 6 padres y 4 madres. Los resultados evidencian que, aunque la participación en relaciones románticas es una práctica habitual en la adolescencia, la educación sexual que se proporciona en los hogares y centros educativos no se adapta a las necesidades y los requerimientos de la población adolescente. El modelo de abordaje de la sexualidad que predomina en el ámbito familiar es el modelo de riesgo, mientras que el profesorado suele apoyar modelos educativos más integrales. No obstante, ante la falta de información rigurosa y adaptada a estas edades, la población adolescente suele recurrir a otras fuentes de información que escapan al control educativo, entre las que se encuentran Internet y los grupos de iguales. Esto subraya la necesidad de un abordaje integral de la sexualidad en los dos principales espacios de socialización.

Los servicios de orientación universitaria han ganado importancia debido a las transformaciones que se han producido a nivel legislativo y la necesidad de atender a un perfil de estudiante cada vez más diverso. Las universidades deben proporcionar atención individual para promover éxito académico y bienestar estudiantil. Estas actuaciones son fundamentales para atender a estudiantes de atención a la diversidad, como discapacidad o trastornos, siendo necesaria la intervención de personal especializado. El objetivo de este estudio ha sido conocer las iniciativas de atención individual que se realizan en las universidades públicas españolas. Para ello, se ha realizado un análisis de contenido, seleccionándose la muestra mediante un muestreo polietápico. La muestra final de este estudio ha sido un total de 34 entrevistas a 41 expertos de los servicios de orientación, 5 realizadas de forma conjunta porque había más de un experto en el servicio, y 29 individuales, de n=26 universidades públicas. La técnica de recogida de información fue la entrevista semiestructurada, que se analizaron con el programa MAXQDA 2022. Los resultadosmuestran que las intervenciones de orientación individual se desarrollan principalmente mediante servicios específicos, como los de atención psicológica. También se destaca la generalización de la tutoría como iniciativa institucional para atender individualmente a los estudiantes, en la que el profesor-tutor tiene un papel fundamental. Se han extendido en las universidades las actuaciones destinadas a la atención del estudiantado de atención a la diversidad mediante entrevistas o adaptaciones no significativas. Las universidades públicas españolas realizan actuaciones de apoyo y orientación al estudiantado de forma individualizada, siendo un modelo de orientación centrado en el desarrollo integral del estudiante basado en el modelo de orientación counselling. La atención a estudiantes con discapacidad o trastornos del neurodesarrollo están más extendidas frente a otra diversidad estudiantil, pudiendo ser adecuado avanzar en el desarrollo de estas actuaciones.
Análisis de los programas de escolarización del alumnado de 2-3 años en colegios de Educación Infantil y Primaria en España
Authors: Turienzo Daniel , Manzano-Soto Nuria
Published: June 2024

En las últimas dos décadas, la tasa neta de escolarización en el primer ciclo de Educación Infantil se ha multiplicado prácticamente por cinco. Esta expansión se ha producido en todas las regiones de manera generalizada, aunque con diferentes magnitudes. A pesar de los avances alcanzados, el hecho de que la etapa sea voluntaria y no gratuita ha llevado a que existan importantes diferencias asociadas al nivel socioeconómico y cultural de las familias. Para superar estas barreras, todas las comunidades han implementado estrategias de tarificación social, bonificación, exención de tasas o gratuidad de las enseñanzas para facilitar plazas escolares asequibles. Asimismo, una de las políticas públicas que se ha adoptado en diferentes comunidades autónomas son los programas para la incorporación del alumnado del primer ciclo en los centros de Educación Infantil y Primaria. Estas iniciativas se han enfocado especialmente al alumnado de 2-3 años, aunque también existen algunas iniciativas que incorporan todo el ciclo o el segundo y tercer curso en los colegios. En este artículo se analizan las posibilidades (y retos) que presenta esta política desde un enfoque redistributivo que garantice la igualdad de oportunidades y la atención de la primera infancia como derecho. Para ello, a la luz de la normativa vigente, se analizan las condiciones y el alcance de estos programas para lograr la extensión del derecho a la educación y el acceso a una Educación Infantil de calidad para todos. Se concluye que estos programas permiten avanzar en la gratuidad, apostar por políticas universalistas y estables en el tiempo, fomentar la codocencia, incorporar a los profesionales en los planes de formación continua y optimizar las inversiones, recursos e instalaciones existentes. Por el contrario, es necesario que se produzca una adaptación de los espacios, preservar la identidad propia de la etapa e implementar medidas focalizadas en pro de la equidad educativa.
