Sorting out nuclear concerns: The Australian uranium debate from Jervis Bay to Ringwood's Synroc
Authors: Candela Andrea
Published: April 2017

This paper critically considers the history of nuclear energy in Australia, placing particular emphasis on the strong debate about uranium mining and exporting which occurred between the late 1960s and early 1980s. Though this topic has been already analyzed by different historical studies and through numerous methodological approaches, some issues of the Australian as well as international ‘atomic debate’ which involved civil uses of nuclear power in the second half of the 20th century remain under-investigated. This article, for instance, focuses on the little-known and seldom popularized history of Synroc which, in the late 1970s, was presented as the ‘geological perspective’ to deal with radioactive waste disposal. The matters under discussion here are particularly important because of their links with some key issues still prevalent in the international nuclear debate, such as nuclear safety, atomic weapons proliferation and the safe disposal of nuclear wastes.
Philip Tyson's 1849 study of California gold prospects
Authors: Aalto K. R.
Published: April 2017

Philip Thomas Tyson (1799–1877) toured privately through central California, from San Francisco through the Sierra Nevada foothills gold prospects in 1849, to assess their potential and the general geology of the region. He produced the first regional map with geologic notations and several rough topographic/geologic cross-sections. He described Coast Range basement rocks, now described as Franciscan Complex mélange and broken formation, the stratigraphic configuration of the Great Valley, and general geology of the Sierra Nevada foothills. He recognized that the older Coast Range and Sierran basement were deformed prior to recent volcanism and extensive terrestrial fluvial sedimentation, likely Neogene in age.

Authors: Singamsetty Bhaskar , Gollapudi Pavan Kumar
Published: April 2017

Background: Occupational health should aim at the promotion and maintenance of the highest degree of physical, mental and social well-being of workers in all occupations. Among the occupational diseases, diseases due to chemical agents like chemical gases, inorganic and organic dusts, metals and their compounds, chemicals and solvents constitute one important group. Workers engaged in lead industries like gasoline additives, lead based paints, ceramic glazes, plumbing of pipes  are continuously exposed and are at a greater risk of lead toxicity. The present study was aimed to emphasize the health profile of workers in a battery factory and with reference to their blood lead levels and correlation with signs and symptoms of lead toxicity.Methods: A prospective cross sectional study was conducted among workers for 6 months period and health details were evaluated along with demographic data (age, duration of work, etc.) and examined for signs and symptoms of lead toxicity. Blood lead levels of the workers were estimated and correlated with other parameters like Hb%, serum creatinine. Results: Mean blood lead levels of the workers were high among the workers working for longer duration in battery fitting unit. Toxicity signs and symptoms were observed and they were attributable to lead toxicity. Few cases had audiometric disturbances and one had loss of vision. High levels of lead in blood were found to be related to hypertension and anemia among the workers. Conclusions: Heavy metal, lead is a major environmental pollutant and its toxicity continues to create health problems in several segments of the population. There is urgent need for the prevention and control of lead toxicity by strengthening the systematic screening for blood lead levels compatible with sub clinical lead toxicity and a routine case finding for hypertension secondary to lead exposure, including IEC activities at all levels.

Published: April 2017

Sheep and goat pox Outbreaks occurred in different geographic areas of Sudan and most strikingly, were highly species specific. Two outbreaks in Gedarif State in June. 2013 affected no goats and outbreak in Khartoum state in March. 2015 affected no sheep despite communal herding; affected goats were vaccinated with 0240 strain. Clinically, the disease was characterized by fever, depression and eruption of generalized pox lesions. Mortality rate ranged between 5.2 and 6.7% with a mean of 6.1%. Isolation of viruses succeed on Lamb testes cell culture at passage four, the diseases were diagnosed using virus neutralisation test and polymerase chain reaction. Sheeppox and goatpox isolates grew well in lamb testes and Vero cells. In MDBK however, both viruses induced slight CPE that reached 60% in 9 days. On the other hand, both isolates induced no CPE in chick embryo fibroblast cells. Virus isolation attempts failed on chorioallantoic membrane of embryonated chicken eggs.

Authors: Chauhan Garvita , Prasad Shalinee , Rathore Himanshi , Sharma Satyawati
Published: April 2017

Hypsizygus tessellatus is a popular wild edible culinary mushroom commonly cultivated in Japan, East Asia and North Europe. It is rich in micro nutrients and has great anti-tumorous, anti-cancerous rich polysaccharide fractions i.e. β-glucan, thus making it a good source of nutraceuticals. The present study was undertaken to investigate the nutritional as well as medicinal profile of this mushroom. Freeze dried and hot air dried samples were taken for the analysis. HPLC-RID investigations were carried out to estimate the content of β-glucan. The results revealed that it contains high proportions of protein (33.89g/100g), fiber (13.20g/100g), carbohydrates (50.10g/100g), potassium (1575mg/100g), calcium (98mg/100g) and phosphorus (568mg100g). The fat content was found to be 2.80gm/100g. Iron (18mg/100g) and zinc (5mg/100g) were present in trace amounts. Freeze dried fruit bodies showed better results than hot air dried samples pertaining to all nutritional and nutraceutical parameters. Value added products i.e. biscuits and salted crackers were made by incorporating 5 and 10% mushroom powder in refined wheat flour and their proximate, organoleptic and bioactive constituents were analyzed. Sensory evaluation based on hedonic scale resulted in high sensory ratings of all the products. The present study suggested that incorporation of 5% mushroom powder in salted crackers (Mathri) and 10% in biscuits not only increased concentration of protein, dietary fiber and β-glucan but also improved its flavor, texture and acceptability.

Keywords: Hypsizygus tesellatus; lyophilization; hot air drying; salted cracker; biscuits; β-glucan

In arid lands, the unique characteristics of the date palm are the privilege of the main axis of oases ecosystems. In the Souf oasis, the palm trees are planted as form Ghout where these trees directly benefit from groundwater. The Ghout is a model for sustainable agricultural systems, saving water, soil and adapted to harsh conditions in arid lands. However, and because it is completely dependent on the groundwater level, it is considered precarious, by raising or lowering this slick threatens the palm trees, or by flooding or by drought. In this research paper, we showed two agricultural techniques that used by farmers to cope with the fluctuation of the water table, and in spite of its simplicity, they contributed for a long time to the preservation of the traditional irrigation system from disappearing.

La naturaleza de las frases locativas en construcciones de movimiento en yaqui
Authors: Guerrero Lilián
Published: April 2017

Este artículo explora la naturaleza de las relaciones espaciales asociadas a construcciones de movimiento en la lengua yaqui (yutoazteca, México), con el fin de indagar la codificación formal de las nociones de lugar, fuente y meta, así como las posibles combinaciones entre los tipos de verbos y los tipos de locación. Los resultados de este estudio muestran que el yaqui neutraliza la distinción entre fuente y locación, un patrón muy poco frecuente en las lenguas del mundo. Además, a partir de las asociaciones encontradas en corpus, se distinguen dos subgrupos de verbos de manera de movimiento dada su (in)compatibilidad con frases locativas dinámicas que expresan meta u origen (i.e. trayectorias télicas).

Published: April 2017

A doença falciforme engloba um grupo de anemias hemolíticas hereditárias, de origem afrodescendente, que altera a forma dos glóbulos vermelhos do sangue, mudando sua forma elíptica para a de foice, quando em crise. As pessoas com doença falciforme podem apresentar crises frequentes o que prejudica as suas atividades sociais, incluindo às escolares. Com vistas a isso, a proposta do presente trabalho foi o de avaliar a importância da escola para o desenvolvimento intelectual e social do aluno com doença falciforme. Foi aplicado questionário semiestruturado para os alunos com doença falciforme e suas mães, professores, coordenadores e diretores de duas escolas estaduais do município de Monte do Carmo - TO. Os resultados evidenciaram as dificuldades dos alunos com a doença no ambiente escolar, a percepção das mães quanto à limitação do acompanhamento pedagógico das unidades de ensino com seus filhos e a falta de conhecimento dos profissionais da educação sobre o assunto. Portanto, o aluno com doença falciforme não consegue usufruir de um aprendizado satisfatório por não ter o acompanhamento adequado, o que evidencia a necessidade de uma formação continuada para os profissionais da educação, voltada para esta temática.

Published: April 2017

Experiências anteriores com arquivos e coleções fotográficas datadas de meados do século XX, me levaram a pensar nas imagens que os sujeitos, as instituições e as épocas compartilham em suas falas cotidianas. Elas podem ser acessadas não somente em acervos, também na internet, em exposições, no cinema, na sala de aula e em outros espaços de convivência, vistos de uma plataforma como a História pública. Através das perguntas que lhes fazemos é possível distinguir como elas ficam presentes em nosso cotidiano. É possível reconstituir percursos e perscrutar, no presente, ecos daqueles valores que aparecem visualmente. Com isso, o objetivo deste ensaio é expor fragmentos que fazem parte da cultura visual no Recife. Como plataforma reflexiva, os argumentos identificam e relatam alguns desses fragmentos.

Authors: Moraes Helder de Melo , Marreiro Cristina Galamba , Barreto Filho Eneus Trindade
Published: April 2017

Child obesity is a social problem in Brazil and all over the world. It brings serious risks to people’s health and, although public administration provides expenses for treatments,  leads the treatment of diseases derived from child obesity, which aggravates in adult age, to superlative expenses. Food advertising commonly takes part of the blame for the bad eating habits of children and, consequently, their overweight, due to the idea of them inducing the consumption of highly caloric products. This study aims to deepen the discussion about the relationship between television advertisements and child obesity in the Brazilian context. It was selected the CAPES platform as the main source for research, once it is the platform of highest representability of Brazilian researchers. Finally, under the light of literature review, one can notice the demystification of advertising as directly responsible for child obesity. It is also noticeable the emerging interest in mediatization as a cultural matter.

Published: April 2017

El uso/abuso de las Tecnologías de la Información y la Comunicación (TIC) es un tema que suscita enorme interés en los últimos años. Está en discusión si debe recibir la consideración de conducta adictiva y si es un problema que afecte prioritariamente a adolescentes y jóvenes. El presente estudio pretende conocer los problemas que afectan a las personas de todas las edades en el control del uso de estas TICs y si están relacionados con problemas de salud mental, estrés y dificultades en el control superior del comportamiento. Se realiza una encuesta a través de redes sociales y correo electrónico, en el que se administra el cuestionario MULTICAGE-TIC, que explora problemas en el uso de Internet, teléfono móvil, videojuegos, mensajería instantánea y redes sociales. Adicionalmente se administra el Inventario de Síntomas Prefrontales, el Cuestionario de Salud General y la Escala de Estrés Percibido. Se obtiene una muestra de 1.276 sujetos de todas las edades y diferentes países de habla hispana. Los resultados apuntan a que alrededor del 50% de la muestra presenta importantes problemas en el uso de estas tecnologías, y que esos problemas se relacionan directamente con síntomas de mal funcionamiento prefrontal, estrés y problemas de salud mental, independientemente de la edad u otras variables. Estos resultados sugieren reconsiderar si se trata de una patología adictiva o si estamos ante un problema novedoso que requiere de explicaciones de índole ambiental, psicológica, sociológica y sociopolítica, debiendo reformular las acciones a emprender para reorientar la comprensión y el abordaje del problema.
Escala breve de búsqueda de sensaciones (BSSS): estructura latente de las versiones de 8 y 4 ítems en adolescentes peruanos
Authors: Merino-Soto Cesar , Salas Blas Edwin
Published: April 2017

El presente estudio tuvo el propósito de validar con adolescentes peruanos dos Escalas Breves de Búsqueda de Sensaciones: el de ocho ítems (BSSS8; Hoyle, Stephenson, Palmgreen, Lorch, y Donohew, 2002) y el de cuatro ítems (BSSS4; Stephenson, Hoyle, Slater, y Palmgreen, 2003). Los cuestionarios se aplicaron a 618 adolescentes que participaron voluntariamente, de 13. 6 años de edad promedio, de diferentes niveles de estudios de la secundaria, de colegios de gestión estatal y privada, pertenecientes a un distrito del sur de Lima. Se analizó la estructura interna de ambas versiones breves a través de tres modelos: unidimensional (M1), dimensiones relacionadas u oblicuas (M2) y el modelo bifactor (M3); los resultados hallados indican que ambos instrumentos tienen una sola dimensión que representa mejor la variabilidad de los ítems, hecho que puede ser explicado tanto por la complejidad del concepto como por la pequeña cantidad de ítems que representan a cada factor; aspecto que se potencia en el BSSS4; la fiabilidad cae dentro de los niveles que los estudios anteriores hallaron (Alfa: BSSS8= .745 y BSSS4= .643) y (Coeficiente Omega: .747 del BSSS8 y .651 del BSSS4) los mismos que se consideran adecuados para el tipo de instrumentos estudiados. A partir de la correlación entre ambos instrumentos, se encontró que existen niveles satisfactorios de equivalencia entre el BSSS8 y BSSS4. Se recomienda sin embargo que el BSSS4 se utilice fundamentalmente para trabajos de investigación y con propósitos de describir poblaciones.

Debido a una distorsión en la imagen corporal, las personas que padecen Dismorfia Muscular se perciben menos musculosas de lo que son en realidad. Con el fin de aumentar su musculatura, algunas de estas personas hacen uso de hormonas cuya función principal es la del aumento del tamaño muscular. Por lo que el objetivo de este estudio es conocer la prevalencia del uso de hormonas en personas afectadas por Dismorfia Muscular. 562 hombres y 172 mujeres fisicoculturistas y levantadores de pesas, a los que se le administraron diferentes cuestionarios para conocer, primero si padecían el trastorno, y después en qué porcentaje usaban hormonas la muestra afectada. Para la creación de los modelos de regresión de la dismorfia muscular fueron empleadas las técnicas estadísticas de árboles de decisión (R = 0.78 y R2 = 0.62). Los resultados indican que casi un 50% de participantes, afectados por este trastorno, hacen uso de estas drogas.

Due to a distortion in the body image, the people who suffer from muscle dysmorphia have the self-perception of being less muscular than they currently are. With the aim of increasing their muscular development, they resort to the use of AAS. The purpose of the present study is to know the prevalence of the use of AAS in a Spanish sample affected by muscle dysmorphia. 562 male and 172 female bodybuilders and weightlifters were provided with different questionnaires in order to know, firstly, if they suffered from this disorder and, secondly, the percentage of the participants affected who use these substances. Decision trees and regression was applied to create explanatory models for muscle dysmorphia (R = 0.78 and R2 = 0.62). The results show that almost 50% of the participants, male and female, affected by this disorder use this kind of drugs.

Published: April 2017

An association has been found between the C allele of the rs1414334 polymorphism in the HTR2C gene and the metabolic syndrome in psychiatric patients. However, no study has yet evaluated whether this allele is associated with smoking. To assess this issue, therefore, we performed a cross-sectional study with a sample of 166 adult patients treated with atypical antipsychotics in 2012-2013 in a region of Spain. The primary variable was the presence of the C allele of the rs1414334 polymorphism in the HTR2C gene. Secondary variables were the number of pack-years (number of cigarettes per day x number of smoking years ÷ 20), age, gender, schizophrenia, years since diagnosis, metabolic syndrome criteria and SCORE. A stepwise binary logistic regression model was constructed to determine associations between primary and secondary variables and their area under the ROC curve (AUC) was calculated. Of the total sample, 33 patients (19.9%) had the C allele of the polymorphism analyzed. Mean cigarette consumption was 11.6 pack-years. The multivariate analysis showed the following factors as associated with the polymorphism: higher cigarette consumption, being a woman, and not having abdominal obesity. The AUC was 0.706. An association was found between increased cigarette consumption over the years and the presence of the C allele of the rs1414334 polymorphism in the HTR2C gene.
Combined Intravenous and Intra-Articular Tranexamic Acid in Simultaneous Bilateral Total Knee Arthroplasty without Tourniquet Use
Authors: Tsukada Sachiyuki , Wakui Motohiro
Published: April 2017

Background:

A combined intravenous and intra-articular regimen is one of the most effective administration routes of tranexamic acid (TXA) to reduce perioperative blood loss in unilateral total knee arthroplasty. However, there have been few reports regarding use of the combined regimen for patients undergoing simultaneous bilateral total knee arthroplasty, in which blood-management strategy is more challenging.

Methods:

We compared perioperative blood loss in 30 consecutive patients undergoing simultaneous bilateral total knee arthroplasty who received both 1,000 mg of TXA intravenously and 1,000 mg of intra-articular TXA in each knee (combined TXA group) with that in a consecutive series of 51 patients who only received 1,000 mg of TXA intravenously (intravenous TXA group). Additional intravenous TXA was administered 6 hours after the initial administration in both groups. Except for the intraoperative TXA administration regimen, an identical perioperative blood-management strategy was applied to both groups; this consisted of transfusion of 800 or 400 mL of predeposited autologous blood except for patients with a preoperative hemoglobin level of <11.0 g/dL, who received 4 units of allogenic blood. All surgical procedures were performed with spinal anesthesia and without use of a pneumatic tourniquet. Perioperative blood loss was calculated using the blood volume and change in hemoglobin level from the preoperative measurement to postoperative day 3.

Results:

There was significantly less perioperative blood loss in the combined TXA group compared with the intravenous TXA group (mean and standard deviation, 1,201 ± 347 versus 1,638 ± 400 mL, respectively; mean difference, 437 mL; 95% confidence interval, 263 to 613 mL; p < 0.0001). No patient in the combined TXA group and 1 patient (2%) in the intravenous TXA group required additional allogenic blood transfusion. No thrombotic events occurred in either group.

Conclusions:

In a nonrandomized comparison, combined intra-articular and intravenous TXA significantly reduced the calculated perioperative blood loss in simultaneous bilateral total knee arthroplasty compared with that found in patients treated only with intravenous TXA.

Level of Evidence:

Therapeutic Level III. See Instructions for Authors for a complete description of levels of evidence.

ONTARE. REVISTA DE INVESTIGACIÓN DE LA FACULTAD DE INGENIERÍA

This paper discuses several models for the computational representation of language. First, some n-gram models that are based on Markov models are introduced. Second, a family of models known as the exponential models is taken into account. This family in particular allows the incorporation of several features to model. Third, a recent current of research, the probabilistic Bayesian approach, is discussed. In this kind of models, language is modeled as a probabilistic distribution. Several distributions and probabilistic processes, such as the Dirichlet distribution and the Pitman- Yor process, are used to approximate the linguistic phenomena. Finally, the problem of sparseness of the language and its common solution known as smoothing is discussed.

Quadratic head loss approximations for optimisation problems in water supply networks
Authors: Pecci Filippo , Abraham Edo , Stoianov Ivan
Published: April 2017

This paper presents a novel analysis of the accuracy of quadratic approximations for the Hazen–Williams (HW) head loss formula, which enables the control of constraint violations in optimisation problems for water supply networks. The two smooth polynomial approximations considered here minimise the absolute and relative errors, respectively, from the original non-smooth HW head loss function over a range of flows. Since quadratic approximations are used to formulate head loss constraints for different optimisation problems, we are interested in quantifying and controlling their absolute errors, which affect the degree of constraint violations of feasible candidate solutions. We derive new exact analytical formulae for the absolute errors as a function of the approximation domain, pipe roughness and relative error tolerance. We investigate the efficacy of the proposed quadratic approximations in mathematical optimisation problems for advanced pressure control in an operational water supply network. We propose a strategy on how to choose the approximation domain for each pipe such that the optimisation results are sufficiently close to the exact hydraulically feasible solution space. By using simulations with multiple parameters, the approximation errors are shown to be consistent with our analytical predictions.

Authors: Dos Reis Camila Candida Compagnoni , Moro Matheus Fernando , Flores Sandrine de Almeida , Weise Andreas Dittmar
Published: April 2017

A construção brasileira retomou nos anos recentes o seu importante papel na receita do desenvolvimento. Após décadas de baixo investimento em infraestrutura e em habitação, o país reencontrou sua rota de progresso. Nesse novo cenário evidenciam-se grandes desafios, o principal deles, na trajetória de crescimento continuado, é o da produtividade. É neste contexto que se insere o presente trabalho, objetivando analisar a produtividade da mão de obra da Construção Civil no setor de habitação na cidade de Santa Maria (RS), bem como analisar qual é o perfil de funcionários mais utilizados nas construções. Para atingir os objetivos, este trabalho tem como referência os dados do Sindicato da Construção de Santa Maria – 8RS entre os anos de 2009 e 2014. Houve, no período analisado, avanços na produtividade induzidos pela própria dinâmica de crescimento e por investimentos em treinamento das construtoras da cidade. Verificou-se uma correlação forte entre área construída e mão de obra utilizada pelas construtoras. Constatou-se também um aumento dos estoques em 2012, seguido de uma alta da área construída nos meses de 2013, acarretando nesse ano o pico do número de empregados na Construção Civil na série em estudo.

Lugares do cultivo de arroz como paisagem cultural: diálogos para um estudo dos arrozais na cidade de Joinville (SC)
Authors: Duarte Alanna Fernandes , Neis Carelli Mariluci
Published: April 2017

O arroz é um alimento que tem sido cultivado em diversos lugares domundo ao longo do tempo. As pesquisas sobre o arroz no Brasil são geralmente analisadas sob aspectos econômicos ou agrônomos, mas pouco tem sido abordado sobre suas relações com a(s) sociedade(s), cultura(s) e o meio ambiente. Na perspectiva no campo de estudos do Patrimônio, os lugares dedicados ao cultivo do arroz podem ser compreendidos como “paisagens culturais”, que envolvem diferenciados saberes e práticas do cotidiano de inúmeras comunidades. Os “arrozais” transformam e constituem paisagens modificadas por meio da interação do homem com a naturezae os significados que nela estão imbricados. Nesse sentido, pretendemos refletir sobre a “cultura do arroz” na cidade de Joinville (SC), situada na região nordeste do Estado de Santa Catarina. Apresentamos discussões preliminares da pesquisa de dissertação, que está ligada ao grupo de pesquisas “Estudos Interdisciplinares emCultura e Sustentabilidade” do Programa de Mestrado em Patrimônio Cultural e Sociedade (MPCS) da UNIVILLE e financiada pela Capes. Esse artigo objetiva propor diálogos sobre o arroz e os “arrozais”, reconhecendo algumas das suas interações com a formação da paisagem da cidade de Joinville (SC).
Conhecimento sensível e inteligível na abordagem metodológica Trilha da Vida
Authors: Matarezi José , Koehntopp Paulo Ivo
Published: April 2017

A modernidade resultou em um conjunto de crises, especialmente no campo das ciências, do ambiente e do conhecimento humano, gerando insustentabilidade em diversos níveis, ao mesmo tempo em que aponta para a necessidade de um novo ethos civilizatório. Nesse contexto a educação ambiental, a educação estética e a educação patrimonial assumem como uma de suas missões lidar com os dilemase paradoxos próprios do paradigma dominante, buscando integrar subjetividade e objetividade, ou seja, produção de intersubjetividade na construção de conhecimento sensível e inteligível. Tal momento viabiliza pesquisas e abordagens metodológicas capazes de superar a fragmentação do conhecimento e das relações humanas coma natureza. É nesse foco que se analisa a abordagem metodológica Trilha da Vida: (Re)Descobrindo a Natureza com os Sentidos. Contextualizam-se os conceitos de “experiência” e “vivência” (BONDÍA, 2002), “participação” e “suprassensorial” (OITICICA, 1968), performance (BEUYS, 2010; OITICICA, 1968; 1986; 2013).
Estudiantes innovadores en la Educación Secundaria: tensiones entre su reconstrucción y resignificación intersubjetiva
Authors: Segura Jiménez Alexis , Rojas Vargas Andrea , Ulloa Brenes Gilbert , Gutiérrez Schwanhäuser Ilse
Published: April 2017

El objetivo de este artículo fue interpretar las tensiones entre la reconstrucción y resignificación intersubjetiva de un grupo de estudiantes innovadores, de acuerdo con los principales resultados y la discusión teórica del proyecto de investigación: "Innovaciones educativas del estudiantado de secundaria a partir del capital social y cultural que poseen”, que se desarrolló de enero del 2015 a noviembre del 2015. El trabajo se realizó dentro del enfoque cualitativo y en su fase de campo se aplicó aplicando una entrevista de tipo “historia de vida” a 11 estudiantes de diferentes instituciones de educación secundaria en todo Costa Rica. El análisis de los datos permitió concluir que si bien elementos subjetivos como el empeño, el esfuerzo, la dedicación y la vocación que el estudiante innovador disponga en relación a su actividad dentro de la institución educativa, también el contexto social influye de modo significativo en los anteriores atributos y por ende en la manera como el estudiante afronta las diversas situaciones académicas, sin llegar a determinar por completo la actividad, por lo que se entiende que la innovación es un proceso individual y social a la vez, complejo y matizado por tensiones entre el impacto de las interacciones sociales y las actitudes personales, dentro de escenarios educativos que en ocasiones desestimulan o limitan al estudiantado innovador.

Authors: Anchetta Meza Gloriana
Published: April 2017

El propósito del artículo es presentar las opiniones, hábitos, preferencias y prácticas con respecto a las tecnologías dentro del proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje de los estudiantes y docentes de secundaria del Colegio Calasanz con el fin de detectar aspectos positivos y por mejorar en relación con las tecnologías de la información y la comunicación (TIC).Los datos fueron recolectados, analizados y contrastados a través de una metodología interpretativa para conocer las interacciones entre estudiantes, profesores y elementos del entorno relacionados con las tecnologías. Se observó que los estudiantes usan frecuentemente las tecnologías en su cotidianeidad y, al mismo tiempo, exigen nuevas metodologías didácticas que les permiten ser más flexibles, dinámicos y aprovechar mejor las TIC. Por su parte, los docentes, pese a considerar que el uso de las TIC en el contexto educativo es importante, no cuentan con las condiciones de tiempo y de capacitación adecuadas para hacerlo con calidad. Por ello, se recomienda que la institución implemente una metodología pertinente y una propuesta de capacitación innovadora con el fin de mejorar el proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje y adaptarse a las necesidades y características de los estudiantes.
