Creating Musical Cadences via Conceptual Blending
Authors: Zacharakis Asterios , Kaliakatsos-Papakostas Maximos , Tsougras Costas , Cambouropoulos Emilios
Published: November 2017

The cognitive theory of conceptual blending may be employed to understand the way music becomes meaningful and, at the same time, it may form a basis for musical creativity per se. This work constitutes a case study whereby conceptual blending is used as a creative tool for inventing musical cadences. Specifically, the perfect and the renaissance Phrygian cadential sequences are used as input spaces to a cadence blending system that produces various cadential blends based on musicological and blending optimality criteria. A selection of “novel” cadences is subject to empirical evaluation in order to gain a better understanding of perceptual relationships between cadences. Pairwise dissimilarity ratings between cadences are transformed into a perceptual space and a verbal attribute magnitude estimation method on six descriptive axes (preference, originality, tension, closure, expectancy, and fit) is used to associate the dimensions of this space with descriptive qualities (closure and tension emerged as the most prominent qualities). The novel cadences generated by the computational blending system are mainly perceived as single-scope blends (i.e., blends where one input space is dominant), since categorical perception seems to play a significant role (especially in relation to the upward leading note movement). Insights into perceptual aspects of conceptual bending are presented and ramifications for developing sophisticated creative systems are discussed.

Published: November 2017

Student’s critical thinking and their learning result depend on learning design and student’s activity.  Most students use their spare time with playing game.  Students are more challenged by the difficulty in playing game rather than facing the difficulty in understanding the lesson.  This phenomenon is the basic reason of the researchers to develop a game that has the essence of the subject matter, namely Chemistry Board Game (CBG) or we can call it with Al Chemist Knight.  This research aims to develop a suitable digital game based on android system. In this research media was used to improve the cognitive learning and critical thinking. It also has purpose to evaluate the response of learners in learning chemistry through alkane derived compound topic. The development of this game was adapted from the procedure of game development process in mobile 3D presentation.  The collection of evaluation data model applied was pre test and post test in trial class.  The result showed that in the pretest the learning result average was 34.35 with classical target of 5%.  While the posttest learning result average was 80.51 with  classical target of 85%. The  n-gain factor was 0.703.  Based on the result of the students questionnaire data analysis, 3.025 of students responded positively to the implementation of CBG.  A CBG media makes an assessment of critical thinking, in which the indicator of critical thinking which are focusing on questions get 3,1 point, giving arguments get 2.95, asking and answering questions get 3.0, making decision get 3.05, and the average score of critical thinking indicator is 3.025 which belongs to good category. Based on the students’ response questionnaire, we get the average score of 3.3 or 82.5% which is classified in good category.

Published: November 2017

This study is aimed at describing the characteristics of basic physics concepts in materials of science literacy enrichment of natural and mineral resources (NMRs) prepared by students of Physics Education Department, Universitas Islam Negeri Sunan Gunung Djati Bandung. The method of data collection for scientific literacy ability of NMRs is obtained from the description of NMRs, results of describing the enrichment materials of NMRs process, the basic concepts of physics, and context as well as attitudes of students towards NMRs through paper enrichment materials. This study was conducted to 15 documents of  enrichment materials made by students. The study concluded that: (1) characteristics of students’ ability to describe the physics concepts in literacy enrichment materials NMRs show variation; (2) the ability of describing concept of fundamental physics in five NMRs groups being investigated shows a low gains. The study recommends that the application of material needs developing and teaching media literacy enrichment and physical sciences should have more contextual NMRs for secondary, high school and undergraduate students.

Published: November 2017

Poorly differentiated thyroid carcinoma (PDTC) is a rare malignancy with higher mortality than well-differentiated thyroid carcinoma. The histological diagnosis can be difficult as well as the therapy. Improved diagnosis and new targeted therapies require knowledge of DNA sequence changes in cancer-relevant genes. The TruSeq Amplicon Cancer Panel was used to screen cancer genomes from 25 PDTC patients for somatic single-nucleotide variants in 48 genes known to represent mutational hotspots. A total of 4490 variants were found in 23 tissue samples of PDTC. Ninety-eight percent (4392) of these variants did not meet the inclusion criteria, while 98 potentially pathogenic or pathogenic variants remained after filtering. These variants were distributed over 33 genes and were all present in a heterozygous state. Five tissue samples harboured not a single variant. Predominantly, variants in P53 (43% of tissue samples) were identified, while less frequently, variants in APC, ERBB4, FLT3, KIT, SMAD4 and BRAF (each in 17% of tissue samples) as well as ATM, EGFR and FBXW7 (each in 13% of tissue samples) were observed. This study identified new potential genetic targets for further research in PDTC. Of particular interest are four observed ERBB4 (alias HER4) variants, which have not been connected to this type of thyroid carcinoma so far. In addition, APC and SMAD4 mutations have not been reported in this subtype of cancer either. In contrast to other reports, we did not find CTNNB1 variants.
Stem cells, in vitro gametogenesis and male fertility
Authors: Nagamatsu Go , Hayashi Katsuhiko
Published: November 2017

Reconstitution in culture of biological processes, such as differentiation and organization, is a key challenge in regenerative medicine, and one in which stem cell technology plays a central role. Pluripotent stem cells and spermatogonial stem cells are useful materials for reconstitution of germ cell developmentin vitro, as they are capable of differentiating into gametes. Reconstitution of germ cell development, termedin vitrogametogenesis, will provide an experimental platform for a better understanding of germ cell development, as well as an alternative source of gametes for reproduction, with the potential to cure infertility. Since germ cells are the cells for ‘the next generation’, both the culture system and its products must be carefully evaluated. In this issue, we summarize the progress inin vitrogametogenesis, most of which has been made using mouse models, as well as the future challenges in this field.
Which Individuals To Choose To Update the Reference Population? Minimizing the Loss of Genetic Diversity in Animal Genomic Selection Programs
Authors: Eynard Sonia E , Croiseau Pascal , Laloë Denis , Fritz Sebastien , Calus Mario P L , Restoux Gwendal
Published: November 2017

Genomic selection (GS) is commonly used in livestock and increasingly in plant breeding. Relying on phenotypes and genotypes of a reference population, GS allows performance prediction for young individuals having only genotypes. This is expected to achieve fast high genetic gain but with a potential loss of genetic diversity. Existing methods to conserve genetic diversity depend mostly on the choice of the breeding individuals. In this study, we propose a modification of the reference population composition to mitigate diversity loss. Since the high cost of phenotyping is the limiting factor for GS, our findings are of major economic interest. This study aims to answer the following questions: how would decisions on the reference population affect the breeding population, and how to best select individuals to update the reference population and balance maximizing genetic gain and minimizing loss of genetic diversity? We investigated three updating strategies for the reference population: random, truncation, and optimal contribution (OC) strategies. OC maximizes genetic merit for a fixed loss of genetic diversity. A French Montbéliarde dairy cattle population with 50K SNP chip genotypes and simulations over 10 generations were used to compare these different strategies using milk production as the trait of interest. Candidates were selected to update the reference population. Prediction bias and both genetic merit and diversity were measured. Changes in the reference population composition slightly affected the breeding population. Optimal contribution strategy appeared to be an acceptable compromise to maintain both genetic gain and diversity in the reference and the breeding populations.
Estimating Realized Heritability in Panmictic Populations

Published: November 2017

Narrow sense heritability (h2) is a key concept in quantitative genetics, as it expresses the proportion of the observed phenotypic variation that is transmissible from parents to offspring. h2 determines the resemblance among relatives, and the rate of response to artificial and natural selection. Classical methods for estimating h2 use random samples of individuals with known relatedness, as well as response to artificial selection, when it is called realized heritability. Here, we present a method for estimating realized h2 based on a simple assessment of a random-mating population with no artificial manipulation of the population structure, and derive SE of the estimates. This method can be applied to arbitrary phenotypic segments of the population (for example, the top-ranking p parents and offspring), rather than random samples. It can thus be applied to nonpedigreed random mating populations, where relatedness is determined from molecular markers in the p selected parents and offspring, thus substantially saving on genotyping costs. Further, we assessed the method by stochastic simulations, and, as expected from the mathematical derivation, it provides unbiased estimates of h2. We compared our approach to the regression and maximum-likelihood approaches utilizing Galton’s dataset on human heights, and all three methods provided identical results.

Abstract:

In certain regions of the world the enormous rate of population growth raises economic and public health concerns and widely accessible contraceptive methods would be desired. In contrast, in other countries the use of effective contraception is a question of individual preferences. Today, most of the reliable contraceptive methods are applied by women, while the options for male methods are quite limited. It is well known that significant portion of pregnancies are still unplanned and several data revealed men’s willingness to take part in family planning. Based on these needs, remarkable efforts have been made to develop a suitable hormonal contraceptive agent for men. With the exogenous suppression of follicle stimulating hormone and luteinizing hormone secretion, the inhibition of the testicular testosterone production and the spermatogenesis can be achieved. In the beginning, testosterone-derivatives, or testosterone-progestin combinations were administered, later synthetic androgen agents were developed. Despite of these efforts, unfortunately, there is no safe, widely feasible male hormonal contraception to date, but in the future this goal can be achieved by solving the key hurdles.

Application of Plasma-Sprayed Zirconia Coating in Dental Implants: Study in Implants
Authors: Huang Zhengfei , Wang Zhifeng , Li Chuanhua , Yin Kaifeng , Hao Dan , Lan Jing
Published: November 2017

The aim was to investigate the osseointegration of a novel coating—plasma-sprayed nanostructured zirconia (NSZ)—for dental implants. Nanostructured zirconia coating on non-thread titanium implant was prepared by plasma spraying, and the implant surface morphology, surface roughness, and wettability were measured. In vivo, nanostructured zirconia-coated implants were inserted in rabbit tibia, and the animals were sacrificed at 2, 4, 8, and 12 weeks after implantation. The bond strength between implant and bone was measured with the removal torque (RTQ) test. Osseointegration was observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), microcomputerized tomography (micro CT), and histological analyses. Quantified parameters were calculated, including removal torque, bone volume to tissue volume (BV/TV), trabecular thickness (Tb.Th), trabecular number (Tb.N), trabecular separation/spacing (Tb.Sp), and bone-implant contact (BIC) percentage. The statistical differences were detected with a two-tail Mann-Whitney U test (SPSS 20.0). The surface roughness (1.58 μm) and wettability (54.61°) of a nanostructured zirconia-coated implant was more suitable than the titanium implant (0.598 μm, 74.38°) for osseointegration and hierarchical surface morphology seen on the zirconia coating. The histological analyses showed that a zirconia-coated implant induced earlier and had more condensed bone formation than did the titanium implant at 2 and 4 weeks. Quantified parameters showed the significant differences between these 2 groups at an early healing period, but the differences between the 2 groups decreased with an increased healing period. All these results demonstrated that plasma-sprayed zirconia coated implants induced better bone formation than did titanium implants at an early stage.

Published: November 2017

Implant site preparation through drilling procedures may cause bone thermonecrosis. The aim of this in vitro study was to evaluate, using a thermal probe, overheating at implant sites during osteotomies through 2 different drilling methods (continuous drilling technique versus intermittent drilling technique) using irrigation at different temperatures. Five implant sites 13 mm in length were performed on 16 blocks (fresh bovine ribs), for a total of 80 implant sites. The PT-100 thermal probe was positioned 5 mm from each site. Two physiological refrigerant solutions were used: one at 23.7°C and one at 6.0°C. Four experimental groups were considered: group A (continuous drilling with physiological solution at 23.7°C), group B (intermittent drilling with physiological solution at 23.7°C), group C (continuous drilling with physiological solution at 6.0°C), and group D (intermittent drilling with physiological solution at 6.0°C). The Wilcoxon rank-sum test (2-tailed) was used to compare groups. While there was no difference between group A and group B (W = 86; P = .45), statistically significant differences were observed between experimental groups A and C (W = 0; P =.0001), B and D (W = 45; P =.0005), and C and D (W = 41; P = .003). Implant site preparation did not affect the overheating of the bone. Statistically significant differences were found with the refrigerant solutions. Using both irrigating solutions, bone temperature did not exceed 47°C.

Published: November 2017

Today, clinicians have a variety of treatment modalities available to address the increasing number of implant procedures performed each year. Single-stage implant surgery is now commonly used in implant dentistry. With patients' demands for immediate restoration, the utilization of 1-piece implants is gaining acceptance. This article reports the results of tapered 1-piece implants (Zimmer Biomet) placed in a single practice over a 10-year period. A total of 33 1-piece dental implants were placed in 24 patients and provisionally restored out of occlusion at the time of surgery. All 33 implants were definitively restored with ceramometal crowns after 3 months of provisionalization. Implant survival and success rates were 100% after 2.6–10 years of follow-up. Only 1 minor complication of crestal bone remodeling occurred among the 33 implants placed. Adequately stabilized tapered 1-piece implants can be successfully restored out of occlusion at the time of implant placement and definitively loaded in occlusion 3 months without adversely affecting function or esthetics. Additional long-term controlled studies are recommended to further understand these findings.

Forest coverage is important geographical factor for every country, so it is very important to regulate, control and supervise it. The purpose of this paper – to analyze forest changes in Aukštadvaris Regional Park in the period from 1893 to 2015. In order to reach the goal, certain tasks were accomplished. Firstly, with the use of GIS and cartographic sources of different periods (1:21 000 – 1:25 000 scale topographic maps of the Republic of Lithuania forest cadastral digital data) to identify forest areas of Aukštadvaris Regional Park in 1893, 1934, 1949, 1984, 2000, 2015, changes were identified and their spatial distribution were examined. During the study maps were made to reflect the mentioned years, changes that had occurred during period between the years, all of this information were analyzed, evaluated and described. Second, causes and factors of forest changes in Aukštadvaris Regional Park area were examined. It showed that the main reason for this was government policies, wars, lack of natural-growth control. Finally, the results, information and trends were compared with the Lithuanian forest situation and trends. In this way, problems, regional park is facing, were highlighted – too many fast growing forest coverage, because in Lithuania forest coverage were both increasing and decreasing over the period of time, and right now it stands at 33,4 %, but in the regional park of Aukštadvaris, during analyzed period has only been rising and right now stands at 54,8 %. If the situation will not change and appropriate measures will not be taken, forest coverage can reach 60%.
Why Dalit?
Authors: Madsen Berit
Published: November 2017

Why do some people consider others "untouchable"? Why do upper caste people sprinkle water to purify themselves when touched by a Dalit?This documentary film explores the caste system in Nepal as it is experienced by lower castes - the Dalit - and upper caste people. Through the words of Dalit, the film reveals many of the paradoxes in the upper caste based discrimination, like: why are the shoes made by the Sarki lower caste people allowed into the house when the person who made the shoes cannot enter?The Dalit are not one homogenous group of people, but a common denominator for a variety of lower caste people living in Nepal. The film moves from the hill regions in West Nepal to the Terai in the south and put focus on different Dalit castes, their living circumstances within the Nepalese caste system and the Dalits' migration from the hill regions to the Terai in the hope of making a better living.In 1990 the practice of caste-based discrimination was declared illegal and punishable by law in Nepal. But the caste system still forms an essential part of the cultural landscape.

Effects of pile shape and pile end condition on the lateral response of displacement piles in soft clay
Authors: Truong P. , Lehane B. M.
Published: November 2017

A series of lateral tests conducted in a centrifuge on displacement piles in kaolin is used to examine the effects of pile shape, pile end-condition and clay overconsolidation on the lateral load transfer (p–y) curves in soft clay. These experimental tests are supported by finite-element analyses, which examine the responses of the circular, square and H pile sections used in the centrifuge tests. The experimental and numerical results reveal an important effect of pile shape on p–y curves, but no discernible effect of the pile end condition. These results also indicate comparable dependencies of net ultimate pressures on normalised depth and undrained shear strength. The findings enable development of a new formulation for p–y curves in soft clay, which incorporates the effects of pile shape and uses the triaxial compression consolidated undrained shear strength as the reference undrained strength.
CLIL teachers in Finland

Published: November 2017

Research on emotions has yielded many theoretical perspectives and many concepts. Yet, most scholars have focused on how emotions influence the transformation and maintenance of teacher identities in the field of teacher education and novice teachers, with little research being conducted on either experienced or foreign language teachers. This study explores emotions in Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) teachers’ work and their role in identity negotiation. The data is based on interviews with thirteen CLIL teachers working at six different primary schools around Finland, while the analysis draws on Meijers’ (2002) model of identity as a learning process. According to this model, a perceived boundary experience usually generates negatively accented emotions, which are negotiated in light of one’s professional identity by means of two complementary processes, i.e. intuitive sense-giving and discursive meaning-giving. The predominant emotional experiences that were identified were, on the one hand, hurry and frustration, and on the other hand, contentment and empowerment. Intuitive sense-giving mostly entailed reasoning, self-reliance, resilience, and empathy. Discursive meaning-giving mostly entailed the ideas of autonomy and of the CLIL team. This study highlights the need for sensitivity toward teachers’ emotions and their influence on teacher identity. It concludes with suggestions for theory, further research and teacher education.
O poder judicial num mundo de questionamento de fronteiras
Authors: Matos José Igreja
Published: November 2017

Tornou-se hoje um lugar comum, ainda que pesadamente sustentado em factos, a afirmação segundo a qual vivemos num mundo em acelerada mudança, de ruptura de paradigmas. A globalização, por sua vez, subjuga o nosso dia-a-dia e intromete-se, cada vez mais, no quotidiano dos cidadãos, qualquer que seja a sua pertença geográfica. Tal constatação traz, a mais das vezes, uma desconfiança, um medo perante o “outro”, o imigrante, o refugiado, o estrangeiro. Naturalmente que o judiciário também está envolvido neste questionamento e desenvolve-se, em muito, a partir dos adquiridos conceptuais acima descritos. Desde lodo, iremos percorrer as respostas assentes no denominado diálogo internacional de Juízes. O associativismo internacional dos juízes encontra nesta nova realidade um cenário de intervenção privilegiado. Donde, a emergência, na Europa, de organizações internacionais do judiciário como a Associação Europeia de Juízes, (AEJ) que alberga no seu seio 44 associações representativas de praticamente todos os países da Europa, a Associação Europeia de Juízes Administrativos (AEAJ), a MEDEL ou a Judges for Judges. Noutros espaços que envolvem igualmente a lusofonia encontramos na região Ibero-americana a Federação Latino-americana de Magistrados (FLAM) ou o Grupo Ibero-americano da União Internacional de Magistrados (IBA). Justamente a União Internacional de Magistrados (UIM) aglutina 86 países dos cinco continentes nela participando as associações de magistrados mais representativas de Portugal, Brasil, São Tomé e Moçambique decorrendo o processo de adesão das associações de Timor-Leste e da Guiné Bissau. Neste último caso, a Associação Sindical dos Magistrados da Guiné-Bissau que conta já 25 anos de existência e que se tem destacado mais recentemente por um labor intenso em especial na área da luta contra a corrupção num contexto de afirmação do Estado de Direito. Finalmente uma referência à União Internacional dos Juízes de Língua Portuguesa (UIJLP) que veio dar corpo a uma antiga aspiração de cooperação entre os juízes dos países e territórios espalhados pelos vários continentes onde se fala o português.

En la configuración de las prácticas escolares es posible reconocer una serie de disposiciones de neto corte visual, que no solo delimitan una particular relación entre el ver y el conocer, sino que otorgan cierto privilegio al sentido de la vista por encima de otros registros sensibles. Estas disposiciones son parte de la función estetizante que cumplió el sistema educativo argentino, donde la educación de los sentidos constituyó una preocupación que combinó un régimen de verdad, ligado al conocimiento, con la producción de sensibilidades específicas, donde verdad, belleza y moralidad eran parte de la misma operación.
Cine, pensamiento y estética: reflexiones filosóficas y educativas
Authors: Peñuela Contreras Diana Milena , Pulido Cortés Oscar
Published: November 2017

El presente artículo aporta algunas discusiones en torno a la relación cine y educación, como continuidad a un proyecto de investigación realizado alrededor de la relación cine–pedagogía y pensamiento. En su proceso escritural se ubican tres campos analíticos: el primero intenta mostrar algunos conceptos del cine como percepción, representación, estética y pensamiento desde la perspectiva de dos autores: Walter Benjamin y Gilles Deleuze, a partir de una mirada filosófica; el segundo posiciona elementos para una discusión contemporánea de la relación entre cine, educación y pensamiento y, finalmente, el tercer campo da cuenta de algunas regularidades de uso del cine en el campo educativo.
Nueve experiencias desde el cine: un pretexto para ampliar el campo de visión en la investigación
Authors: Viafara Sandoval Harold
Published: November 2017

Este artículo da cuenta de una reflexión que, teniendo como punto de partida las discusiones sobre educación, pedagogía y estética, recurre al cine con una postura distante de este como recurso de enseñanza o mediación didáctica y acudiendo a cierta perspectiva para abrir la mirada y pensar problemas propios de la investigación. Aquí se vuelve al cine como experiencia artística y sensible, en la idea de generar una especie de ruido alrededor de la propuesta de investigación titulada preliminarmente “Cuerpo, consumos y educación: tres dimensiones para proponer un debate teórico”. Consecuente con un ejercicio de artesanía intelectual e investigativa, implicaba ampliar el campo de visión con lo cual se intentaba permanentemente mantener dos esfuerzos: romper los límites de los análisis a los que hemos estado acostumbrados y problematizar el objeto de estudio desde una dimensión teórica. Para ello, el pretexto empírico da cuenta de un recorrido por nueve películas, a partir de las cuales se mantuvo una alerta inevitable. Por eso un despliegue al análisis de las dimensiones analíticas que esto concita conllevó si bien a una pregunta por el sujeto, igualmente a valorar la construcción de la noción de cuerpo que ellas abordaban. En tal sentido, en el artículo se recurre metodologicamente a recrear de manera breve este grupo de películas a través de las cuales estuvo siempre presente un interrogante explícito y en algunos casos implícito: ¿Cuál es la noción de cuerpo que en ellas subyace y sus implicaciones para pensar el objeto: cuerpo, consumos y educación?
Literatura y estética cotidiana: hacia la formulación de una hipótesis abductiva
Authors: Pérez Henao Horacio
Published: November 2017

El presente artículo muestra el camino recorrido para la formulación de una hipótesis abductiva en relación con la estética cotidiana y el estudio de la literatura en la educación superior. Partiendo de la experiencia docente del autor, el texto da cuenta de un proceder metodológico abductivo que apunta hacia un acto de creación. Categorías como hecho sorprendente, ícono, enigma, indicio, sospecha y conjetura conducen a la enunciación final de la hipótesis en forma de pregunta. Dicha pregunta constituye uno de los momentos iniciales de un proyecto de investigación en proceso de formulación, que busca fundamentar la estética cotidiana a partir de la literatura como principio para la educación superior.

El rendimiento escolar y el problema de igualdad de oportunidades
Authors: Mojica D. Guillermo
Published: November 2017

Aunque tradicionalmente en nuestro medio las gentes afirman creer en el principio de la igualdad, cuando se les exige que expliquen el significado del término, sus respuestas son por lo general vagas y contradictorias. La realidad es que por encima de los principios constitucionales la mayoría acepta como un hecho una situación de desigualdad en casi todas las esferas de la vida diaria, pero cree que debe existir igualdad de oportunidades. Esto es, que las reglas de juego que determinan quiénes son exitosos y quiénes no, deben ser equitativas. Aunque obviamente surgen discrepancias sobre lo que es y no es equitativo, se mantiene vigente el principio universal de la competencia justa, o de lo que los norteamericanos denominan el “fair play”. Este principio está íntimamente ligado en nuestro tipo de sociedad con la responsabilidad constitucional que tiene el estado de ofrecer igualdad de acceso y de posibilidades a toda la población, al sistema educativo. En el contexto de los países occidentales que surgen a partir de la revolución francesa, la educación se ha considerado como el instrumento básico para el logro de la igualdad de la igualdad de oportunidades.
Concentraciones de desarrollo rural - CDR: Un caso de transferencia
Authors: Toledo Álvaro , Niño Antonio José , Buriticá Carlos , Díaz David , Bueno Lucila
Published: November 2017

Con el ánimo de plantear algunas inquietudes necesarias para abordar el problema de la tecnología y la transferencia tecnológica en la educación colombiana, presentamos a los asistentes al Seminario estas notas, producto de una reflexión inicial. Somos concientes de la urgencia de que en el país se abra un amplio debate, en torno a este problema de gran actualidad, ya que es necesario clarificar el proceso de modernización del sistema educativo. Dicha modernización no debe ser entendida como la importación indiferenciada de modelos que acreditan eficacia en otros contextos o que simplemente presentan una validez formal. Ella debe basarse en la investigación de la realidad nacional, con el objeto de definir la problemática educativa y establecer prioridades para formular soluciones
Algunos comentarios acerca de la enseñanza de la historia de Colombia
Authors: Cabana O. Alfredo , Vera G. Cesar
Published: November 2017

El presente artículo de ninguna manera pretende agotar el tema que se aborta. El objetivo fundamental es: mostrar que la enseñanza de la Historia de Colombia ha sido tratada en forma poco científica y que no se le ha dado la importancia que en realidad merece. Además, destacar la labor que desarrollan nuevos investigadores al presentar un nuevo enfoque de la enseñanza y de la investigación histérica.
Historia de la educación en Colombia
Authors: Grupo de Investigación Grupo de Investigación
Published: November 2017

Es sorprendente la bibliografía hoy existente sobre el sector educativo; ya no aparece como un apéndice de trabajos especializados sino como un grueso volumen. Sin embargo, el hecho de que exista en tal forma no implica de por sí que se posea una comprensión sistemática y global del sector. La gran mayoría de los trabajos son descriptivos y sectoriales cuando no filosóficos. El estudio realizado y acumulado sobre el sistema educativo colombiano parece hoy agotar la dimensión descriptiva exigiendo análisis de mayor profundidad explicativa.
Calidad de la educación básica rural en las áreas DRI
Authors: Grupo de Investigación Grupo de Investigación
Published: November 2017

Básicamente el programa DRI persigue el mejoramiento de las condiciones materiales de vida de un sector específico de la población rural, modificando sus esquemas tradicionales de producción y productividad. Para mejorar la producción, el DRI propone el aporte intensivo y racional de factores tales como el crédito, la tecnología, el mercado y la infraestructura regional. Para elevar la productividad, el DRI busca un nivel más alto de rendimiento en la fuerza de trabajo, mediante la modificación de factores tales como la educación y la salud. El desarrollo de la producción y la productividad en el pequeño propietario campesino, debe provocar su consolidación como grupo social en el hábitat rural, frenando los elevados índices de descomposición del campesinado y por tanto de migración a la ciudad.
Análisis del sistema de supervisión del nivel básico primario en áreas DRI
Authors: Grupo de Investigación Grupo de Investigación
Published: November 2017

La Oficina de Planeación del MEN consciente del importantísimo papel que dentro del sistema educativo juega la supervisión, se propuso realizar un contrato con la Universidad Pedagógica Nacional para que el Centro de Investigaciones llevara a cabo un profundo estudio del sistema de supervisión del nivel básico primario en las seis Áreas DRI.Dicho estudio es parte del Programa de Investigaciones Socio-Educativas DRI. Al abordar el problema de la supervisión nos hemos preguntado, cuál ha sido el efecto producido por ella en un proceso de casi un siglo; si la supervisión y la inspección han respondido a las necesidades y requerimientos de una educación cambiante; si su contribución ha sido la de mejorar la calidad educativa, el control efectivo y la organización del sistema educacional. Igualmente se desea tener un conocimiento preciso sobre la realidad administrativa de la supervisión, su alcance y limitaciones, aciertos y deficiencias.

Como es bien conocido, el maestro desempeña un papel decisivo en el mejoramiento cualitativo de la educación, luego su capacitación debe ser uno de los pilares de cualquier programa de reforma educativa y por consiguiente, debe estar fundamentada en la experiencia sistemática por medio de la cual se puedan elaborar modelos eficientes (costeables y efectivos) de capacitación. Además, las formas tradicionales de capacitación y formación de maestros se han mostrado deficientes, razón por la cual se hace necesario una investigación sistemática que ayude a establecer formas diferentes de capacitación que no solamente redunden en el mejoramiento cualitativo del maestro, sino que se haga extensivas a todos los maestros del país. Es así como se debe investigar un modelo de capacitación directa y por multimedios.
