Online instructional environments for language teaching: Designing the conversation
Authors: Meskill Carla
Published: April 2020

As more and more language education activity moves to online venues, language educators are left with a great deal to consider in terms of their learners and their practices. Central to these considerations are two central questions that I address here. First is the critical question of our perceptions of online venues for language education. Do we see these venues as automated, that is preprogrammed and devoid of human contact or do we see these as what I call humanted, that is dominated by rich social interaction using the language and steered by the underlying culture that is the target of learning? The second critical question addresses our expanding online lives as users of social media and the relevance of these practices to language education; particularly implications for contemporary learners and online social connectivity. I take up these two central questions within the broader discussion of what constitutes effective online language education and how we as educators might think about the design of effective online conversations for our students.
Improved student motivation and confidence through self-access listening, video forums and talking journals
Authors: Collins William , Hunt Justin
Published: April 2020

In order to improve and develop confidence in their speaking and listening proficiency, students need regular opportunities to speak with other learners and listen to a wide variety of listening content. With large university classes it is difficult for the teacher to monitor students’ practice and promote student oral interaction outside of the classroom. Self-access listening and talking journals can give the students a range of listening and speaking options and allow the teacher to check students’ practice and comprehension. Video forums can help motivate students and build their confidence by increasing their oral L2 production and extend peer support and feedback beyond the classroom. This paper reports the results of a three-year study at Nagasaki University concerning the impact of expanded self-access listening, talking journals and video forums on improving student oral L2 production, motivation and confidence.
CALL normalization: A survey on inhibitive factors
Authors: Maftoon Parviz , Shahini Amin Shahin
Published: April 2020

The growing body of literature on Computer Assisted Language Learning (CALL) in the past decades has advocated the use of CALL in educational circles in order to get to a normalized state. However, the uptake of CALL is stipulated by various known and unknown factors. This study examined various factors that may have influenced the uptake of CALL resulting in disuse and discouragement. Fifty Iranian in-service teachers filled out a questionnaire on the sources of CALL use discouragement. The results indicated a comparative analysis of these sources. Lack of facilities and perceived usefulness were regarded as the most and the least discouraging factors in the uptake of CALL respectively. Pertinent discussion and some suggestions for consideration were also put forth.
Tool-mediated collaborative learning: Peer-assessment workshop case study
Authors: De Boer Mark , Townsend Simon
Published: April 2020

In this paper we will discuss an action research project where students created an article and also created the assessment tools to assess it. Through collaborative tool-mediated learning, students shared language both to create the article and to create the assessment criteria. In creating the assessment tools and then using the tools to assess, students also developed the skills to learn how to assess. An adapted model of the third-generation activity theory is also introduced to identify the processes of how this type of assignment unfolds, how the learners learn and also identifies the zone of proximal development through the process.
A cross-cultural comparison of students’ perceptions of IT use in higher education
Authors: McDonald Kurtis
Published: April 2020

Ensuring the most effective use of information technology (IT) in higher education requires that instructors understand not only the capabilities of the technologies themselves, but also how their use is perceived by students. This paper reports on the results of a questionnaire administered to 74 students at a small private women’s college in Japan. It seeks to compare Japanese undergraduate students’ perceptions of IT use in their courses with those of their peers in the United States and Canada via selected findings of The ECAR Study of Undergraduate Students and Information Technology, 2010. It further seeks to identify the Japanese students’ own self-efficacy for using technology and their opinions on its importance. The findings suggest that the Japanese students surveyed are using a surprisingly wide range of technologies in relation to their coursework and that their experiences, perceptions, and preferences differ somewhat from their North American counterparts.
Students’ perceptions and learning outcomes of online writing using discussion boards
Authors: Nielsen Brian
Published: April 2020

This study explores asynchronous online discussions as a learning strategy for Japanese EFL students from various perspectives. A text analysis of learner posts and replies was performed to determine the quantity, quality, and accuracy of the written language produced. Student participation rates during all four online exchanges were measured to determine the influence that teacher participation within forum discussions had on the quantity and quality of learner posts and replies. Student feedback to a survey was examined to identify the degree to which students thought learning was enhanced through this learning experience and what factors contributed to these perceptions. Findings indicated that although there was a marked decline in the quality and quantity of written language produced, levels of participation and interactivity increased. Teacher participation in the online environment was shown to have less effect on student participation and interaction than did the number of students replying to posts. While the discussion board was perceived favorably by the majority of Japanese EFL students, motivation was influenced by perceptions of inadequacy regarding computer-based skills, by workload, and by cultural unfamiliarity with the constructivist approach to learning inherent in online discussions.
Do TRABALHO PRECÁRIO NO CAMPO E NA CIDADE À ORGANIZAÇÃO MILITANTE:
Authors: Oliveira Renan Dias
Published: April 2020

O tema deste artigo se fundamenta em dois eixos principais: o primeiro procura analisar, do ponto de vista da Sociologia do Trabalho, como o Movimento dos Trabalhadores Rurais Sem-Terra (MST) e o Movimento dos Trabalhadores Sem-Teto (MTST) têm atuado na incorporação de grupos precarizados de trabalhadores rurais e urbanos em suas fileiras de atuação social e política. O segundo procura analisar como os “setores de formação” dos dois movimentos atuam nessa dinâmica de absorção de trabalhadores e na consequente formação política desses mesmos trabalhadores, que irão compor as fileiras dos dois movimentos sociais de forma orgânica, como militantes. Por fim, é feita uma comparação entre as dinâmicas dos dois movimentos, a fim de melhor compreender o caminho percorrido por trabalhadores precarizados, que se tornam atores políticos no interior dos dois maiores movimentos sociais do país. Considerou-se importante resgatar trabalhos de pesquisa realizados sobre a formação política em movimentos sociais, mas dando ênfase ao protagonismo político de setores de trabalhadores precarizados nesses dois movimentos.
A Produção de Material Didático em Audiovisual para Educação Escolar Indígena Guarani Mbya
Authors: De Oliveira Carolina Miranda , Vecchia Anna Beatriz Albuquerque
Published: April 2020

O presente trabalho tem como objetivo retratar como tem sido desenvolvida uma experiência de produção de material didático em audiovisual, elaborado para o suporte pedagógico dos professores das escolas indígenas das aldeias Guarani Mbya. O projeto utiliza uma metodologia participativa, envolvendo no processo de elaboração os professores indígenas e não indígenas e uma ampla inclusão dos alunos Guarani do Ensino Fundamental (6º e 7º ano) do Colégio Indígena Estadual Guarani Karai Kuery Renda, na aldeia Indígena Sapukai em Angra dos Reis – RJ. Os materiais didáticos destinados para as escolas indígenas, geralmente, carregam um perfil infantilizado e por vezes desassociado da realidade linguística e cultural das aldeias. Nesse sentido, o trabalho aqui mencionado, busca produzir instrumentos pedagógicos adequados para uma escolarização diferenciada, intercultural e bilíngue que fortaleça e preserve a cultura Guarani.
Noise Reduction in RTL-SDR using Least Mean Square and Recursive Least Square
Authors: Rahman Aviv Yuniar , Mamba’us Sa’adah  , Istiadi
Published: April 2020

Noise reduction is an important process in a communication system, one of which is radio communication. In the process of broadcasting radio Frequency Modulation (FM) often encountered noise so that listeners find it difficult to understand the information provided. In the past, noise reduction used traditional filters that were only able to filter certain frequencies. However, for future technologies an adaptive filter is needed that can dynamically reduce noise effectively. Register Level-Software Defined Radio (RTL-SDR) can capture signals with a very wide frequency range but has a less clear sound quality. So it needs to be done noise reduction. In this study, two methods are used, namely Least Mean Square (LMS) and Recursive Least Square (RLS). The data used five radio stations in Malang. The results showed that the LMS algorithm is stable but has a slow convergence speed, whereas the RLS algorithm has poor stability but has a high convergence speed. From the test, it can be concluded that the performance of RLS is better than LMS for noise reduction in RTL-SDR. The best performance is the reduction of White Noise using RLS on the Oryza radio station with an Normalized Weight Differences (NWD) value of -13.93 dB.
Determining Effective Subjects Online Learning (Study and Examination) with Multi-Attribute Utility Theory (MAUT) Method
Authors: Limbong Tonni , Simarmata Janner
Published: April 2020

The Corona pandemic in Indonesia forced the learning system into a drastic change into online learning. Many campuses that were previously quite comfortable with face-to-face learning were forced to be helpless because they had never prepared a backup plan when something unexpected happened, one of which was when the campus was forced to not be able to face-to-face. If the learning system continues to be done online, it might cause the quality of learners to decrease dramatically compared to face-to-face learning. Moreover, the courses that must be filtered include theories and practice courses. Most assignments given to students are not seriously done because of a lack of significant evaluation and supervision. The Faculty of Computer Science, Santo Thomas Catholic University, Medan supports this government policy by implementing online learning using the Zoom application for face-to-face and Edmodo for supplementary lecture material  for online learning media. In one semester apart from studying there is a test period which is the Midterm Examination (UTS) and Final Examination Semester (UAS) where the current leadership must wisely determine the type and nature of the exams to be conducted online. To find out the effectiveness of the form of exam questions in online implementation, a Multi-Attribute Utility Theory (MAUT) method was conducted, the test results found that online learning with Zoom and Edmodo was very effective for theoretical courses with a value of 0.88, then the results of this calculation it is recommended that online tests be conducted in the form of theories such as multiple-choice, essay and analysis
Estructura espacial de los bosques mixtos e irregulares en el estado de Durango
Authors: Chávez Flores Gustavo Alfredo , Corral Rivas José Javier , Vega Nieva José Daniel , López Serrano Pablito Marcelo , Rubio Camacho Ernesto Alonso
Published: April 2020

El propósito de este trabajo fue describir la estructura espacial e investigar las interacciones o correlaciones espaciales entre algunas características de árboles en bosques mixtos e irregulares en el estado de Durango. Se usó la localización horizontal y ciertos atributos de los individuos arbóreos de 446 sitios permanentes de investigación forestal y de suelos. La distribución espacial, así como la interacción entre grupos de especies se determinaron con el empleo de estadísticos de segundo orden como la función K de Ripley en sus formas normalizadas univariada L(r) y bivariada L12(r). La asociación dimensional de los árboles se evaluó con el uso de la función de correlación de marcas Kmm(r). Estas herramientas estadísticas permitieron determinar que la estructura espacial de los boques estudiados es de naturaleza compleja y dependiente de la escala de evaluación con que se analice. A distancias menores de 2 m domina una distribución espacial aleatoria del arbolado, mientras que a distancias mayores de 2 m predomina el agrupamiento. Por otra parte, en la mayoría de los sitios no se observaron interacciones o mezclas significativas en la distribución de los árboles de Pinus y Quercus, lo cual indica que la regeneración y la silvicultura siguen un patrón aleatorio. El análisis de la interacción espacial entre los tamaños de los diámetros de los árboles significa la existencia de un patrón de distribución espacial independiente, en el que los individuos de diferentes diámetros están mezclados de manera aleatoria dentro de los sitios de muestreo.
Consideraciones básicas para la aplicación de experimentos de elección discreta: una revisión
Authors: Melo Guerrero Enrique , Rodríguez Laguna Rodrigo , Martínez Damián Miguel Ángel , Hernández Ortíz Juan , Razo Zárate Ramón
Published: April 2020

La necesidad de asignar un valor económico a los bienes y servicios ambientales derivó en el desarrollo de metodologías como los experimentos de elección discreta, que cobraron gran relevancia en los últimos años. La presente revisión se enfoca en mostrar los aspectos básicos por considerar para el uso empírico de este método en su proceso completo. Se incluyen el diseño experimental, la elaboración y aplicación de un cuestionario y una encuesta, análisis econométrico y las medidas de bienestar. Para ello, se hace una revisión bibliografía sobre los avances y aplicaciones de experimentos de elección en los últimos años; asimismo, se abordan y discuten los hallazgos sobre su confiabilidad y validez, así como los alcances y limitaciones de este método de preferencias declaradas. A pesar de los retos que enfrenta; por ejemplo, la complejidad de la tarea de elección y esfuerzo cognitivo por parte de los entrevistados, situación más evidente cuando se emplea en países en vías de desarrollo, es hoy en día el procedimiento preferido por los investigadores de la economía ambiental; ya que permite la descomposición del valor total del bien o servicio en el de sus atributos, y proporciona un enfoque más útil para la valoración económica, lo que resulta en mayores ventajas para los tomadores de decisiones en política ambiental.
Entre los giros, los lugares comunes conceptuales y la naturaleza crítica de la antropología
Authors: Wright Pablo Gerardo
Published: April 2020

The problems mentioned in [Gustavo Lins Ribeiro's] work stem from changes in the discipline itself in the face of other modes of analysis such as cultural, postcolonial, gender, and science and technology studies, which seem to have appropriated concepts such as culture and an apparently sui generis application of ethnographic methodology, which, in terms of public knowledge and intellectual fashions, seem to be in a moment of growth in the face of the apparent decline of anthropology as a discipline.
Religión e inmigración
Authors: Roldán Verónica Emilia
Published: April 2020

A documentary focused on the cult of the Crucified Christ, known to a Peruvian community living in Italy as the “Lord of the Miracles.” History of this devotion stretches back to 1651, in the outskirts of Lima (known as La Ciudad de los Reyes –“the city of kings”– in viceregal Peru).

Today this image of the Christ –originally painted by an Angolan slave– is venerated throughout October in Peru as well as in every nation where Peruvian immigrant communities have formed around the so-called “Brotherhood of the Lord of the Miracles.” Rome’s is considered the most significant such community because of its presence in the Eternal City and its proximity to Saint Peter’s successors.

The video documentary presents the history, religious ways and lived anthropology of an immigrant community in diaspora. We seek to express the meaning the cult holds among the faithful, according to what its prominent members have described and lived. We observe the religious observances’ character, their various key moments and the social as well as symbolic importance they hold for Peruvian immigrant communities in Italy’s capital city.
Biografía del exvoto guadalupano
Authors: De la Torre Renee
Published: April 2020

The votive offerings are pictographic materials that were made to ask, thank and attest to the miraculous power (Faser, 2000), in this case of the Virgin of Guadalupe. Their ritual practice is carried out within a system of votive practices that take place in the system of popular Catholic religion. But in addition to this original sense, the votive offerings have been valued by collectors and art lovers as aesthetic works (as the Frida Kalho collection shows), but they have also been considered by anthropologists and historians as testimonies of the period (see the works of Patricia Arias and Jorge Durand, 2003). In this book Margarita Zires takes them up again as social texts that can be interpreted and analyzed as discursive genres.
Una mirada al pasado de la Nueva Galicia
Authors: Fábregas Andrés
Published: April 2020

The history of the Kingdom of New Galicia is part of the process of Western European expansion, modernization and capitalism, in the form of colonialism. It is also part of the processes of decolonization in general and of the formation of the Mexican nation and the Mexican national state in particular. The texts that make up the work document the above, describe the results of the colonial enterprise that lasted three centuries, the expropriation of lands from their original owners, the disruption of territories and the forging of new regional realities, evangelization and, of course, the anti-colonial resistance of which the Mixtón war is already an icon.
La antropología vial

The following is a conversation on anthropology’s role in the study of road-related behavior, the relationships between material infrastructure and symbolic structures, political expressions of urban mobility and a discussion of various ideas and positions Dr. Pablo Wright has taken in what he calls “the anthropology of the road” (antropología vial). He deepens discussion of certain details such as urban travelers’ symbolic rebellions; mobile-methodology design and implementation for research purposes; and “road behaviors” as an area contested between the State and citizens within the Latin American context.
Antropología: conocimiento y política
Authors: Krotz Esteban
Published: April 2020

In the first of my three comments, I discuss and deepen some of Gustavo's statements on the visibility and public presence of anthropology in Mexico today. In the second, I link this situation with the transformation in process of the science and technology system, which combines the refunctionalization and commercialization of the university institution with profound changes in the type of knowledge called science, and which Gustavo seems to me to have in view when he speaks of the current de-intellectualization. The subject of the third and last commentary takes up an idea of his on the ethics of anthropology and analyzes it in a somewhat different way.

Trabajadoras domésticas indígenas y empleadores en el México contemporáneo
Authors: Canevaro Santiago
Published: April 2020

Séverine Durin's book represents a significant contribution to the analysis and understanding of the processes through which the unequal position of indigenous domestic workers in contemporary Mexico is naturalized and legitimized. The result of more than ten years of research on the situation of indigenous people in the metropolitan area of Monterrey, the author proposes, from an anthropological perspective, a critical and relational view and a nodal contribution to the debate on the precariousness and vulnerability of "regular" domestic workers, based on a view that intersects gender, class and ethnicity cleavages.
Mexicanos en exilio y su performance político
Authors: Querales Mendoza May-ek
Published: April 2020

A reading of the role collectivity can play when promoting interaction between people who have moved through experiences of terror. The material here presented is the outcome of two extended research residencies in El Paso (Texas, US): a four-month investigation from 2012 and a year-long study in 2014. Over the course of both, I conducted nineteen in-depth interviews, completed participatory observations and collaborated with the organization known as Mexicanos en Exilio (“Mexicans in Exile”). With a focus on performance, I analyze denunciation efforts that have come from the organization, to propose its members have developed a political performance that—sustained through three reconnection processes (subjective, communitarian and political) and promoted by constant encounter and exchange—has afforded their narratives visibility and entrance onto the international public sphere.
Hacer tuba en México y Filipinas
Authors: Machuca Paulina
Published: April 2020

A documentary focused on the art of tuba making in two different places, geographycally distant but historically and culturally close: Colima, in the western part of Meico, and Bohol, in Central Bisayas, Philippines. Tuba is a beverage obtained from the sap of the palm tree (Cocos nucifera L.). This tecnhique was introduced in western Mexico during the Seventeenth century by the filipinos who arrived in the Manila Galleon. The public can approach, from a comparative perspective, to the process of its elaboration, consumption and commerce in both countries, as well as its cultural importance.
¿En dónde colocamos analíticamente a la religión?
Authors: Gutiérrez Cristina
Published: April 2020

En este comentario se cuestionan algunos de los planteamientos de Juan Pablo Pérez Sáinz acerca de las posibilidades de empoderamiento de los sectores subalternos para resistir la marginación social a través de la religión. La autora acepta el reto del diálogo transdisciplinar y se pregunta en qué lugar teórico se colocan los estudios de religión y cómo construye el autor la selección de obras en que basa su argumento. El señalamiento principal que propone es que la religión no puede tratarse como un apartado específico en el análisis por ser una dimensión transversal a la experiencia social. Para ello apunta varias situaciones que ofrecen una visión caleidoscópica del papel de la religión.
La Desigualdad Social en América Latina
Authors: Saraví Gonzalo
Published: April 2020

As part of the interdisciplinary colloquium Encartes has proposed—based on a seminal text by Juan Pablo Pérez Sáinz—the present study seeks to complement and expand the debate on social inequality in Latin America. Looking to go beyond a strictly economic perspective, the author simultaneously proposes incorporating social and cultural dimensions into analyses as well as taking up inequality as a class-based experience that leads to his notion of social fragmentation. The article starts with a review of the latest data on primary and secondary income distribution in Latin America over the last fifteen years. It is clear these indicators do not necessarily correspond to the experiences of different social classes now subject to increasing levels of fragmentation and distancing in their life experiences, which implies the need for an ethnographic approach to inequality. Further, it will be hard to understand this fragmentation without an analysis of social classification’s mechanisms and processes that legitimize hierarchy and gaps between the classes. Disparities in income and wealth distribution, writes the author, are key to social fragmentation’s origins, which leads to the centrality he lends to the role the state can play.

Published: April 2020

The consolidation of conservative projects supported by political and religious actors in Latin America is not a novelty: the continent has seen advances and crises of popular governments, bloody dictatorships, violent discourses and processes of expansion of rights that are fulfilled with different intensity and uncoupled temporalities in different countries. The ways of naming this trend are the subject of discussion in this section, since the name itself is a problem: they are expressions composed of socially and even politically diverse sectors, claiming transformations of varying thickness depending on the context.

¿A quién le piden los narcos?
Authors: Aguiar José Carlos G.
Published: April 2020

Desde la década de 1990, la narcocultura en México ha sido estudiada como el repertorio simbólico del “pueblo criminal” que retrata la vida cotidiana de los narcos. Sus expresiones son entendidas como un registro fidedigno de la vida de los traficantes, con una estética transgresora que presenta el exceso y la ostentación como formas de dominación. En este artículo se estudian formas de protección espiritual entre narcotraficantes a fin de debatir sobre la narcocultura. El material etnográfico fue recolectado entre 2014 y 2017 en los estados de Hidalgo y Michoacán, por medio de observaciones participantes y entrevistas a profundidad. La protección de santos populares como la Santa Muerte, el Angelito Negro y San Nazario, permite entender cómo la narcocultura es un recurso de emancipación social, legitimando las definiciones de justicia y soberanía del crimen organizado.

The present article sheds light on religious orientations inside an upper-middle-class Catholic family in Mexico City’s Hipódromo-Condesa neighborhood. The outcome of ethnographic observation and in-depth interviews, the data is presented in the form of a free narrative that reveals three different orientations: conservative Catholicism; the search for new experiences within the ecclesiastic institution; and generational inflection as influenced by social surroundings, all centered on a dynamic Catholic culture that interacts with the global church’s major trends as well as with increasing religious diversity in urban centers.
Altares vemos, significados no sabemos
Authors: De la Torre Renee , Salas Anel Victoria
Published: April 2020

This work consists of a photographic essay about domestic altars accompanied by their owners’ narratives. It aims to address the Catholic religiosity which is practiced on a daily basis in non-ecclesial spaces. This ethnographic work (based on photographic records and interviews) is focused on the altars’ materialism (which makes beliefs visible) and on narratives giving account of their symbolic meanings as well as appropriations and uses of Catholic images in the believers’ daily lives. We deal with three scenarios for the assembly and practice of these shrines; domestic (they are usually private, individual and are located inside the homes). Semi-private (in workplaces such as offices, market stalls, bars and workshops), which even though they are cared for by only one person they are exposed to the public and used for religious practices by those who attend these places. Public ones (streets or neighborhoods) are placed in open spaces (a sidewalk, square or street corner), activate collective practices and are often protected by a community. We consider it a novel methodological proposal to approach the understanding of these religious experiences on their non-ecclesial logic.
Imaginarios transeúntes: la publicidad en exteriores y su relación con la geografía moral de Guadalajara
Authors: Grimaldo Rodríguez Christian Omar
Published: April 2020

I reflect on Guadalajara metropolitan area’s moral geography through an analysis of advertising strategies glimpsed on public transportation trips. Using participatory observation exercises, urban wanderings and semi-structured interviews, I underline connections between landscape, bodies and morality alongside their respective political correlates. As a result, I demonstrate the structuring role these communications strategies exert in identity configuration and the moral territorialization of contemporary metropolises via differential distribution of sociopolitical-based lifestyle and consumption representations.

Cristián Parker is a Chilean sociologist who has worked especially on issues of popular religiosity, education and others, approaching them from a perspective that assumes the heterogeneity of social relations, as well as the spheres in which they are constructed and expressed. In the interview we present here, conducted in Guadalajara while in Santiago and most of the cities of Chile a popular and citizen uprising against the neoliberal system was developing (and still is), Parker explains the background and characteristics of a social movement so powerful that it seems a surprise to many, given the opinions that abundantly in global financial organizations referred to the success of the Chilean model.

Un dispositivo para una relación pragmática de los docentes con los objetivos de programas bilingües, desde un estudio en documentos de planificación
Authors: Guillén Díaz Carmen , Sanz Trigueros Francisco Javier
Published: April 2020

En el marco de los procesos de formación inicial y continua de docentes, que implementan los programas del tipo de enseñanza Aprendizaje Integrado de Contenidos y Lengua Extranjera (AICLE/CLIL/EMILE), el contenido de este artículo se sitúa ante la problemática de una formulación común compartida de los objetivos, como componentes clave de los actos profesionales docentes de programación e intervención. Se conceptúa esa formulación como una práctica científica compleja, que ha de estar presidida por la búsqueda de la integración de aprendizajes competenciales relativos a contenidos de la materia, y a elementos lingüístico-discursivos de la lengua o lenguas de la sección, en términos de un saber y saber hacer. En la perspectiva última de reforzar la profesionalización de estos docentes, y con el objetivo de identificar sus dificultades en la gestión de la complejidad de esa formulación, se estudia un conjunto significativo de documentos de planificación realizados por futuros docentes para aulas de Educación Primaria con sección bilingüe, y supervisados por tutores de los centros correspondientes. Conforme a la técnica global del análisis de contenido, y utilizando un sistema categorial para los componentes observables (constantes) de esos documentos de planificación que son los objetivos, se obtiene un corpus de datos, de cuyo tratamiento: a) Se observan y caracterizan las dificultades ante esa práctica científica compleja de determinación y formulación de objetivos de este tipo de enseñanza bilingüe, vinculándolas a obstáculos epistemológicos y empíricos (Bachelard, 1987). b) Se anticipa la necesaria configuración de un dispositivo referencial facilitador de la explicitación y legibilidad de la integración; al servicio, pues, de la regulación y auto-cuestionamiento en torno a las operaciones técnicas de la formulación de estos objetivos, así como de la estabilización de una visión y lenguaje comunes.
The relevance of the semantic context in inter-understanding: an example based on the interpretation of Italian from Spanish
Authors: López-Astorga Miguel , Torres-Bravo Leyla Danae
Published: April 2020

This paper reports a study model for further research carried out with four participants in order to show that the general theses held in works such as, for example, the one of López-Astorga in 2017 about linguistic inter-understanding deserve to be considered. The goal is to support the idea that such theses are clearly useful to describe the mental processes that actually happen when individuals speaking a particular language try to interpret another language that, while it is different from theirs, it is also very similar or close to it. The theses basically claim that those mental processes have to be akin to inductions such as described by the mental models theory. So, this last approach is assumed here as well. In this way, the main conclusion of the study, whose participants were Spanish-speaking students that had to interpret firstly an Italian word and then a complete sentence with that very word in that same language, and who did not know Italian, is that, in accordance with the aforementioned theses, the semantic context in which a word is can be essential in the linguistic processes of inter-understanding.
Orientaciones valorativas en los saberes experienciales de profesores y estudiantes en un instituto de formación docente
Authors: Corral Nilda J. , Silvestre Lisel
Published: April 2020

Se presentan resultados de una investigación que propuso aproximarse, para su descripción y discusión, a las percepciones y valoraciones de profesores y estudiantes avanzados sobre diversas cuestiones de naturaleza valorativa en el contexto de un Instituto de Formación Docente. Las seleccionadas para su exposición en este artículo consideran: a) la evaluación pedagógica (qué es la evaluación, cuáles sus funciones y a cuáles finalidades sirve, qué diferencia el evaluar y el calificar, qué evalúan y qué califican los profesores), b) la intencionalidad de los estudiantes cuando pretenden aprender y cuando buscan aprobar; c) el estudiante de profesorado y el buen profesor, d) la valoración del trayecto de formación, lo positivo y lo negativo que se visualiza. La indagación se orientó hacia la captación de los saberes experienciales de ambos actores de la relación pedagógica, más que a sus conocimientos sistemáticos. El diseño metodológico se adecuó a esta intención, combinando procedimientos sucesivos y complementarios: cuestionarios semi-estructurados en la primera instancia, completamiento de frases para los profesores y presentación de escenarios imaginarios para los estudiantes en la segunda. Las muestras finalísticas quedaron conformadas por veintidós profesores y sesenta y dos estudiantes del ultimo nivel de la carrera. Los estudiantes evidenciaron poseer una ajustada percepción de las preferencias valorativas de los profesores al evaluar y al calificar, adecuando a ellas la conducta y el estudio para exámenes, que aparecen diferenciados cuando la intención es aprender. Los desacuerdos se presentan en las modelizaciones acerca del estudiante de profesorado y del buen profesor, y se patentizan en las apreciaciones sobre el trayecto formativo recorrido.

Organisational restructuring of Indian Railways
Authors: Dutta Mridul
Published: April 2020

Strategic drift of Indian Railways is due to its stagnant track capacity, declining freight transport, project overrun, poor operating ratio, and, lack of autonomy. This paper proposes two constructs for IR to mitigate sectoral competition and augment investor credibility for the next decade. The first construct is a meta-competency framework to regain its core-competency out of its constituent skills. The second construct is the top-down approach by the Government in creating a radical unitary public sector organization amalgamating railways, highways and inland waterways under Surface Transport Ministry. Further, this paper is a guidance to create an ecosystem for foreign direct investment and corporate restructuring of select IR subsidiaries in the Ministry of Railways. Strategic architecture discourse is on prioritizing economic value over
passenger business.

Published: April 2020

Personality and intelligence test responses of 200 adolescents
belonging to same vicinities those were having pets and were without pets were
compared to assess effect of pet. Ten-Items Personality Inventory and Multiple Intelligence Assessment were administered. The responses of the
participants compared with SPSS (22). Analysis revealed variance between the personality
responses by pet owners as compared with participants without pet, with pet (M = 2.34, SD = .755) without pet (M =
1.66, SD = .923). p = .000). A similar variance was observed in intelligence, pet owners (M = 2.24,
SD = .740) without pet (M = 1.69, SD = .895). p =
.000). Results are sweeping more cross cultural studies recommended.
