Published: July 2020

Tropical Volcanic Soils from Flores Island, Indonesia (Hikmatullah and K Nugroho): Soils that are developed in tropical region with volcanic parent materials have many unique properties, and high potential for agricultural use. The purpose of this study is to characterize the soils developed on volcanic materials from Flores Island, Indonesia, and to examine if the soils meet the requirements for andic soil properties. Selected five soils profiles developed from andesitic volcanic materials from Flores Island were studied to determine their properties. They were compared in their physical, chemical and mineralogical characteristics according to their parent material, and climatic characteristic different.  The soils were developed under humid tropical climate with ustic to udic soil moisture regimes with different annual rainfall. The soils developed from volcanic ash parent materials in Flores Island showed different properties compared to the soils derived from volcanic tuff, even though they were developed from th e same intermediary volcanic materials. The silica contents, clay mineralogy and sand fractions, were shown as the differences. The different in climatic conditions developed similar properties such as deep solum, dark color, medium texture, and very friable soil consistency. The soils have high organic materials, slightly acid to acid, low to medium cation exchange capacity (CEC). The soils in western region have higher clay content and showing more developed than of the eastern region. All the profiles meet the requirements for andic soil properties, and classified as Andisols order. The composition of sand mineral was dominated by hornblende, augite, and hypersthenes with high weatherable mineral reserves, while the clay fraction was dominated by disordered kaolinite, and hydrated halloysite. The soils were classified into subgroup as Thaptic Hapludands, Typic Hapludands, and Dystric Haplustands.

Authors: Bunmi Oyeyiola Yetunde , Ajayi Omueti John
Published: July 2020

Chemical fertilizers (CF) are the major input on arable farms in Nigeria. Current increasing rate of nutrient depletion in CF treated soils calls for the need to study their reactions in soils. To achieve this, three CF based treatments, namely NPK 15:15:15 applied at 40 kg P2O5 ha-1, Urea applied at 20 kg N ha-1  mixed with Single superphosphate at 40 kg P2O5 ha-1, and single superphosphate at 40 kg P2O5 ha-1  mixed with Gliricidia sepium leaves at 20 kg N ha-1  were studied. Sole lime (CaCO3) at 1 Mg ha-1 and a plot that received no amendment were compared. Cowpea was grown for two consecutive cropping seasons in 2012 and 2013 on the treated fields. The results indicated that CF reduced soil pH from initial 4.8 to 4.0. The NPK 15:15:15 fertilizer was the most severe of the CF tested, removing up to 133% alkalinity from the soil relative to lime. The NPK 15:15:15 reduced calcium saturation (from 25% to 21%) and magnesium saturation (from 12% to 8.3%) and increased acidity saturation (from 53% to 66%) with significant reductions in organic carbon content (from 13.2 g kg-1 to 11.0 g kg-1). Precaution including co-application of CF with organic materials such as Gliricidia sepium leaves can benefit for the soils.

Authors: Nurida Neneng Laela , Jubaedah .
Published: July 2020

Many of soil amendment formulations (as a biochar based) have been tested in Indonesian Soil Research Institute greenhouse experiment to improve its effectiveness in the soil, though field experiments were still needed to measure more about its effectiveness. The objectives of this research are to study biochar-based soil amendment formulation on different ways of application in improving soil properties and crop yield in upland acidic soil. The research was conducted in Taman Bogo Research Station, East Lampung during three planting seasons. It started at January 2013 and finished at January 2014. The study was arranged in a split plot design with 3 replications. The main plot was 3 types of soil amendment formula namely SP50, SP75 and KS50. The subplot was the biochar-based soil amendment application way (7.5 Mg ha-1 per planting seasons), which gradually applied to soil namely three times of 3 planting seasons (2.5-2.5- 2.5 Mg ha-1), two times of 3 planting seasons (5.0-2.5-0 Mg ha-1), and a single time in 3 planting seasons (7.5-0-0 Mg ha-1). The plant indicator was maize (Zea mays), Bisma variety.  The variables observed were soil physical and chemical properties, and also maize yield. The results showed that during three planting seasons, the three types of soil amendment formulas had no effect on soil physical properties (Bulk density/BD and plant available water pores/AWP) and soil chemical properties (soil pH, organic C, K2+, Ca2+ and Al3+), and maize yield.  Biochar gradual application in two times (5.0-2.0-0 Mg ha-1) and a single time (7.5-0-0 Mg ha-1) had more effects and consistently improve AWP, soil chemical properties, and dry grain during 3 planting seasons compared to the application of 3 times in 3 planting seasons (2.5-2.5- 2.5 Mg ha-1). The dried grain yield was 3.11-5.23 Mg ha-1 per season or it was increased 291% in average during three planting seasons. Biochar application at a single time (at the beginning of the season at the rate of 7.5-0-0 Mg ha-1) provided positive residual effects on both soil and crop in upland acidic soil of East Lampung.

Published: July 2020

Selected South-Eastern European countries (SEEC - Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Serbia and Slovenia) represent significant producers and exporters of wood flooring in Europe. In 2018, 9.4 % of Europe’s wood flooring production originated from this region. The region is a net exporter of wood flooring since it exports over 50 % of total production. The most important market for the export of wood flooring is the European Union with a share of over 60 % in total exports. Trends in this market are important for manufacturers and exporters from the region. Therefore, the analysis of the impact of the European Union imports on wood flooring production in the SEEC was conducted by application of econometric modelling. The parameters of the obtained model show that the increase of approximately 0.75 % could be expected in the production of wood flooring in selected South-Eastern European countries for each precentral increase in the European Union imports. In addition to these results, the paper presents the analysis of the competitiveness of wood flooring export from the region measured by the Competitiveness Growth Index (RCA1). The aim of this analysis was to quantify the level of their price and non-price competitiveness in the European Union market. Conducted analyses show that the Competitiveness Growth Index (RCA1) had positive values (higher than one) for most significant countries from the SEEC for most of the observed period.

Introduction: Manipulation of resistance training variables allows the maintenance the performance of the proposed exercise. Objetctive: To evaluation the acute effects of different rest intervals on maximum repetition performance, perceived exertion, and fatigue index on bench press. Methods: Following ten-repetition maximum testing and retesting, four experimental sessions involved seven bench press sets to concentric failure with the goal of completing the maximum number of repetitions, which included: 1) one-minute rest interval between sets (P1), 2) two-minute rest interval between sets (P2), three-minute rest interval between sets (P3), and five-minute rest interval between sets (P5). Results: A main result was observed in maximum repetition performance for all sets (p0.001). In the fatigue index, only P3 and P5 showed significant differences compared to all other protocols (p0.001). Besides, the perceived exertion shows a similar trend to fatigue index for longer rest intervals. Conclusion: Reducing the maximum repetition performance in shorter intervals is an important tool for reducing the total workout time.

Published: July 2020

Glomus tumors are very uncommon neoplasms arising from glomus bodies. They differ in the proportion of components, i.e. smooth muscle tissue, vessels and glomus cells. The most common location of this kind of tumor is the subungual area of digits. In other locations, glomus tumors are very rare but have been reported, among others, in bone, lungs, trachea and stomach. Glomus tumors are often misdiagnosed because of diverse clinical presentations. They can be asymptomatic, may lead to cosmetic discomfort, but clinical presentation often involves pain, tenderness and cold hypersensitivity. We present a case of multiple glomus tumor in the foot of a 41-year-old woman. After several surgical consultations, she had been referred for further surgery including possible ampu­tation, which she declined. Simultaneous multiple excisions of the tumors resulted in complete symptomatic relief. This case confirms that glomus tumors should be considered in a patient with multiple lesions producing ex­cruciating pain.
Local Infiltration Anaesthesia with a Bloodless Operative Field (WALANT). Presentation
of the Technique and its Use in Hand Surgery
Authors: Żyluk Andrzej , Szlosser Zbigniew
Published: July 2020

Local infiltration anaesthesia with a bloodless operation field (WALANT) allows for performing hand surgery without a tourniquet. This effect is obtained through an injection of greater than standard volume of the anaesthetic solution composed of lignocaine and adrenaline. The addition of adrenaline induces spasm of small arteries within the infiltration area, which inhibits bleeding and allows visualization of most of the subtle but important structures in the hand and fingers. This article presents a method of preparation of the anaesthetic solution and the technique of anaesthesia for several common procedures in hand surgery. In 2019, our centre performed 340 operations under WALANT anaesthesia, with no serious complications observed. Data from the literature are presented showing that this technique is attracting increasing popularity worldwide. Our centre was the first in Poland to introduce the WALANT method to hand surgery.
Smart Coatings with Carbon Nanoparticles
Authors: Xosé Fernández Sánchez-Romate Xoan , Jiménez Suárez Alberto , González Prolongo Silvia
Published: July 2020

Smart coatings based on polymer matrix doped with carbon nanoparticles, such as carbon nanotubes or graphene, are being widely studied. The addition of carbon nanofillers into organic coatings usually enhances their performance, increasing their barrier properties, corrosion resistance, hardness, and wear strength. Moreover, the developed composites provide a new generation of protective organic coatings, being able to intelligently respond to damage or external stimuli. Carbon nanoparticles induce new functionalities to polymer coatings, most of them related to the higher electrical conductivity of nanocomposite due to the formation of percolation network. These coatings can be used as strain sensors and gauges, based on the variation of their electrical resistance (structural health monitoring, SHM). In addition, they act as self-heaters by the application of electrical voltage associated to resistive heating by Joule effect. This opens new potential applications, particularly deicing and defogging coatings. Superhydrophobic and self-cleaning coatings are inspired from lotus effect, designing micro- and nanoscaled hierarchical surfaces. Coatings with self-healable polymer matrix are able to repair surface damages. Other relevant smart capabilities of these new coatings are flame retardant, lubricating, stimuli-chromism, and antibacterial activity, among others.

Xin: Being Trustworthy
Authors: Sung Winnie ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: July 2020

This essay analyses the Confucian conception of xin, an attribute that broadly resembles what we would ordinarily call trustworthiness. More specifically, it provides an analysis of the psychology of someone who is xin and highlights a feature of the Confucian conception of trustworthiness: the trustworthy person has to ensure that there is a match between her self-presentation and the way she is. My goal is not to argue against any of the existing accounts of trustworthiness but to draw on Confucian insights so as to shed light on features of trustworthiness that are overlooked in current discussions. I hope to show that the Confucian conception of trustworthiness puts more emphasis on the way a trustworthy person actively tries to make sure another’s dependency on her is not unwarranted than on how the trustworthy person responds to the one who gives trust.

Se presenta en formato texto (Cuaderno del alumno y Manual del tutor) y en un CE-Rom interactivo. El formato texto está diseñado para aplicarse en tres sesiones de 60 minutos supervisadas por el tutor. Si se aplica de forma autónoma, las sesiones pueden organizarse a criterio del sujeto. El formato interactivo puede completarse en una sesión única de 60 minutos o adaptarse a las necesidades del sujeto. El programa ha sido contrastado y validado interna y externamente y ha demostrado su utilidad, facilidad de manejo, economía de tiempo y de recursos. Permite una toma de decisiones con garantía de éxito, facilita el intercambio de opiniones en el seno familiar, abre debates sugerentes en el proceso orientador y se convierte en un instrumento motivador de las tareas propias de la acción tutorial.ABSTRACTThe proposed program is a powerful comprehensive tool for decisions making within Compulsory Secondary Education (ESO). It appears in printed format (Student's Book and Tutor's Handbbok) and in electronic format, as an interactive CD-Rom. The first one has been designed for its use throughout three tutorised 60 minute long sessions. If applied in an autonomous way, it allows the student free management of the work sessions. The interactive format can be either completed in a single 60 minute session or adapted to the student's needs. The program has been asessed and validated, both internally and externally, and it has proved to be useful, user-friendly and efficient from the point of view of time consumption and equipment requirements. It provides the student with a quality decisions making method, which is very likely to be successful. It also improves personal opinion exchanges within the family, opens up interesting discussions for the guidance process and becomes a motivating tool for any task related to the tutorial action.

RESUMENEn la presente investigación se trata de estudiar, en primer lugar, a partir del análisis factorial los items que mejor definen los enfoques de aprendizaje -motivos y estrategias-de los estudiantes universitarios. En segundo lugar, se analiza la actuación que los estudiantes tienen en los items en cada una de las escalas en función del perfil de aprendizaje predominante en su titulación: superficial y profundo. Los resultados muestran que los items de la subescala de motivo profundo se factorizan en un solo factor y los de estrategia en dos factores. En cambio, en el enfoque superficial, ambas subescalas se factorizan en tres factores. En relación con el segundo objetivo, se ha observado una coherencia entre el enfoque predominante en los estudiantes y el perfil del centro en el que estudian.ABSTRACTIn this research we use the factor analysis to analyse which items are the most representative in the Biggs' SPQ. Secondly, we also analyse the performance of students in the questionnaire to see whether there is any relationship between the learning approaches of their University course and the student performance. The results show that the scale for deep approach produce one main factor in motive subscale and two main factors in strategy scale. On the contrary, the scale for surface approach split in three main factors. Concerning the second objective we find that there is a relationship between the faculties profile and the student performance.

RESUMENLa experiencia se basó en la realización de una gimkana en un centro de educación no formal a un grupo de menores. (Intermón, 1991; Rodríguez, Ginés y Saliba,1995; Babí, García, Gipert y Rebojo, 1997). Para poder llevar a cabo dicha experiencia se ha seguido la estructura propuesta por Tort y Millán (2000). A partir de los objetivos generales, entre otros, destacamos: Fomentar la cohesión y cooperación del grupo, y conocer algunas tradiciones y costumbres de las diferentes culturas. Utilizamos una serie de instrumentos para valorarlos que a pesar de no estar estandarizados fueron de gran utilidad pese a la dificultad que ha planteado la muestra. Algunas conclusiones son las siguientes: Se han logrado los objetivos aunque algunos sujetos mostraban cierta reticencia a integrarse en el grupo, por otra parte, las actividades de mayor esfuerzo intelectual eran las que presentaban una mayor dificultad a la hora de llevarlas a cabo.ABSTRACTThe experience was based on holding a gymkhana, for a group of children, in an informal educational centre. (Intermón, 1991; Rodríguez, Ginés y Saliba, 1995; Babí, García, Gispert y Rebojo, 1997). In order to carry out the above mentioned experience the structure proposed by Tort and Millán (2000) was followed. Taking the general objectives as a starting point, we can highlight: Encouraging the group to come together and to cooperate and getting to know different cultures traditions and customs. We used a series of instruments to evaluate the objectives, which despite not being standardised were very useful even though the sample (the children) presented some difficulties. Some of the conclusions are the following: The objectives were achieved although some of the subjects showed a certain unwillingness to integrate into the group, on the other hand, the activities which required more intellectual effort were the ones which were the most difficult to carry out.

RESUMENEs objetivo fundamental del presente trabajo proponer un nuevo enfoque epistemológico para el tratamiento de la Orientación Psicopedagógica. Partiendo de las teorías sistémicas y del acercamiento al conocimiento científico desde la complejidad propuesto por el filósofo Edgar Morin y convergiendo desde una cibernética de segundo orden con las tesis de los tres sistemas autopoiéticos del sociólogo Niklas Luhmann se propone el abordaje epistemológico de la Orientación Psicopedagógica desde la construcción de ontologías de la disciplina y se postulan las unidades sistémicas de orientación como elementos para la construcción del corpus de la Orientación Psicopedagógica como disciplina científica desde su práctica a través de la Intervención Psicopedagógica.ABSTRACTThe main target of the present work is to propose a new epistemological approach to the educational guidance. Starting off from both the general theories and the approach to the scientific knowledge from the complexity made by Edgar Morin, the work converges from cybernetics of second order with the sociologist Nicklas Luhmanns theses of the three autocreative systems. The present work proposes the epistemological tackling of the educational guidance from the construction of ontologies of the subject of study and in this work general units of guidance are proposed as elements to build the structure of the educational guidance considered as a scientific subject from its practice through educational guidance.

Utilización de fondos económicos destinados a bienes y servicios de la universidad
Authors: Osagie R O
Published: July 2020

RESUMENEn este artículo se destaca la relevancia de Educación Superior en la sociedad, y la importancia que tiene la financiación económica para el buen funcionamiento de las universidades. Se considera uno de los elementos fundamentales para garantizar la calidad de la educación, junto con el personal de la misma y el contexto (instalaciones, recursos, laboratorios, servicios a los estudiantes, ...), que además dependen en gran medida de la financiación. La calidad de los servicios prestados, y de los recursos disponibles (tanto materiales como humanos), influirá en última instancia en el aprendizaje de los estudiantes y en su preparación para el mundo laboral. Se argumenta que muchas veces los fondos destinados a las universidades (en especial en Nigeria, pero puede aplicarse a otros ámbitos), no son utilizados adecuadamente, sino que se malgastan con demasiada frecuencia. Se hace una comparación con el ámbito empresarial o industrial, donde es preciso optimizar los recursos para evitar pérdidas.En la universidad no se hace un buen aprovechamiento de los recursos, se produce mucho abandono por parte de los estudiantes, y en muchas ocasiones se generan resultados de investigación que luego no se utilizan. Para contrastar estos datos de forma empírica, la autora realizó un estudio de caso en laUniversidad de Benin (Nigeria), para analizar cómo se estaban utilizando los fondos asignados. En elartículo se presenta la metodología seguida, centrada en la elaboración y aplicación de un cuestionario, y el análisis de los documentos relativos a gastos de las universidades; los resultados obtenidos y unas conclusiones. Se observa que se dedican más recursos a temas administrativos y burocráticos que a aquellos más directamente relacionados con la enseñanza / aprendizaje de los alumnos. Los servicios dirigidos a los estudiantes, entre ellos los de orientación, no tienen partida específica asignada,y los fondos no se administran adecuadamente. Se concluye por tanto que no hay fondos suficienteS para garantizar las necesidades de aprendizaje los alumnos, con todas las consecuencias negativas queello conlleva.

RESUMENPretendemos describir los efectos de la agrupación del alumnado en su adaptación, en un contextoeducativo  multicultural,  para diseñar  estrategias  de  intervención  educativa.  La  muestra  la forman1.315 sujetos, mitad cristianos y musulmanes, mitad chicos y chicas, con una edad media de 11 años,escogidos por muestreo estratificado de la población escolar de Ceuta. Con el Inventario de Adaptación de Conducta (De la Cruz y Cordero, 1981) se evalúa la adaptación personal, familiar, escolar, social y global. Los resultados muestran que la adaptación de los alumnos cristianos se ve afectada por el agrupamiento, que a los musulmanes no les afecta estar en un contexto mayoritario o no de su propia cultura y que los alumnos cristianos, independientemente de la mayoría dominante, obtienen puntuaciones más elevadas en adaptación personal y familiar, y en los factores contextuales de adaptación siempre que estén en un contexto mayoritario de su cultura.ABSTRACTWe try to describe the grouping effects of the grouping in the adjustment students, in an multicultural educative context, to design strategies of educative intervention. The sample was composed of 1315 students, half Christian and Muslim, half boys and girls, with an average age of 11 years, that were chosen by stratified sampling of the school population of Ceuta. With the Inventory of Adaptation of Behavior (De la Cruz y Cordero, 1981) the personal, family, school, social and global adaptation was evaluated. The results show that the Christian students adjustment are affected for the cluster, since to the Muslims it doesnt affect them the fact of being contained in a majority context or not of their own culture. And the Christian students always obtain the best results in the personnel and the relative adjustment, and in those contextual factor whenever they are into a majority context of their same culture.

RESUMENExiste una amplia gama de necesidades de orientación en los estudiantes de bachillerato que pretenden acceder a estudios superiores que se matizan e incrementan cuando los estudiantes son extranjeros al país de la universidad receptora. Este es el caso que analizamos con los estudiantes de bachillerato marroquí que pretenden estudiar en España. Determinar y priorizar sus necesidades de orientación universitaria se presenta pues como una tarea indispensable que debe guiar y dar coherencia a los procesos de preparación académica, de tramitación burocrática y toma de decisiones en la elección de carrera y universidad. El presente trabajo, por lo tanto, tiene como meta la evaluación de sus necesidades de orientación universitaria para, posteriormente, planificar y ejecutar una orientación ajustada que mejore los citados procesos con tiempo suficiente y desde sus Institutos de origen.ABSTRACTThere is a great array of guidance needs for secondary students who want to access University. These needs are increased when they are overseas learners. This paper focuses on Moroccan students who intend to study in Spanish Universities. It is a strictly necessary task to determine and prioritise their university guidance needs in order to assist them academically, with bureaucracy, and the choice of degree and university. Thus, the main goal of this paper is to analyse the guidance needs in order to plan, and carry out an adjusted guidance which improves the already mentioned process provided that there is enough time and support from their home institutions.

El estudio propone su evaluación a través de un cuestionario aplicable al profesorado que ejerce su función en los centros de educación formal. Para valorar las condiciones técnicas del instrumento construido, el Cuestionario sobre el Estilo Docente (CED)fue aplicado a un grupo de 170 maestros y profesores de la escuela primaria y secundaria. Los resultados dan apoyo a la fiabilidad y validez de constructo para este cuestionario y permiten elaborar algunos perfiles y una tipología según el grado de rigidez y autoritarismo presente en el estilo docentede los profesionales de la educación.ABSTRACTThe degree of inflexibility and authoritarianism in the educational style of the teachers can be a problem for achieving educational objectives. The study proposes its evaluation through an applicable questionnaire to the professorship that exercises their active function in the different formal education centres. To value the technical conditions of the Questionnaire on the Educational Style (CED) it was administered to a group of 170 teachers of the elementary and secondary school. The results give support to the reliability and validity of construct for this questionnaire and permit to elaborate some profiles and typology according to the degree of inflexibility and authoritarianism present in the educational style of the professionals of education.
Educación para la carrera y globalización: ¿Atrapados en las contradicciones sociolaborales neoliberales?
Authors: Fernández Sierra Juan
Published: July 2020

RESUMENLos jóvenes están viviendo en una sociedad en la que tenemos planteadas algunas incongruencias difíciles de explicar desde una perspectiva humanista aumento de las desigualdades en la época de mayor potencialidad productiva, presión hacia la homogeneización cultural en entornos claramente multiculturales, impulso de los nacionalismos paralelamente a la mundialización, etc. En este contexto, los orientadores y orientadoras han de repensar su trabajo; no obstante, las presiones económicas, sociales y familiares, les impulsan hacia planteamientos más enfocados al mercado que a la persona. En este artículo, a través del análisis de estas contradicciones y de su reflejo en la OP, se plantean una serie de principios y estrategias para diseñar y poner en práctica proyectos de educación para la carrera que ayuden al estudiantado en su incorporación al marco socioeconómico transnacional en el que le ha tocado vivir desde una concepción de ciudadanía.ABSTRACTYoung students live in a society in which we adults present a number of inconsistencies which are difficult to explain, at least from a humanistic point of view an increase in inequality at a time of higher production potential, pressure towards cultural homogenisation in clearly multicultural environments, the impulse of nationalism running parallel with globalisation, the pessimism of youth in a society full of opportunities, etc. In this context, careers advisers must try to match their work to the needs of the individual, however, economic, social and family pressures push them and direct them towards approaches which are focused on the market rather than on the person, showing that more and more career advice methods are coming onto the scene with a remarkably consumerist dimensionin their notion and in their practice. In this article, the author sets a series of principles and strategies through the analysis of these contradictions and their reflection on careers advice to design and put into practice education projects for studies which contribute to the training of students so that they can take their place, from the concept of citizenship, in the socio-economic transnational framework inwhich they have to live.

RESUMENEn este artículo proponemos un Modelo sociocultural explicativo del alto rendimiento y de la alta capacidad. El modelo es consecuencia, por un lado, de la propia evolución que la psicología, y ciencias afines, como la pedagogía y la orientación educativa, han sufrido a lo largo de las últimas décadas, tendiéndose cada vez más a integrar variables de tipo cognitivas, afectivas y socioculturales; y por otro, de la propia evolución y desarrollo de las investigaciones realizadas por el equipo, especialmente de la información emergente y no prevista surgida durante el proceso de investigación. Contar con un modelo amplio y comprensivo resulta esencial para garantizar los procesos de orientación e intervención psicopedagógica que favorezcan un alto desarrollo y rendimiento y una atención adecuada a los estudiantes con altas capacidades. En el modelo se concretan seis dimensiones, en este artículo nos centraremos en una de ellas: el ámbito familiar.ABSTRACTIn this article we propose a Sociocultural explanatory model of high perfomance and high ability. This model is the result of, o one hand, the evolution of Psychology and related science, like pedagogy and education al guidance, during the last decades, towards the integration of cognitive, emotional and sociocultural variables, and, on the other hand, the result of the evolution and development of the research carried out by our own group, especially regarding the unexpected information come up during the research process. To have a wide and understanding model is essential to guarantee the psychopedagogical intervention and guidance processes which favour a high development and performance, as well as, an appropriate attention to the students with high abilities. This model includes six aspects, in the present article we focus on one of them: the family field.
Llegar a ser una persona diferente: la zona de desarrollo próximo en orientación para la carrera
Authors: Bassot Barbara
Published: July 2020

RESUMENEste artículo explora un enfoque socio-constructivista emergente en la orientación para la carrera, centrándose en el concepto de ‘zona de desarrollo próximo’. Esto se realiza a través del análisis de una metáfora usada por uno de los estudiantes que participó en un estudio cualitativo en profundidad, a pequeña escala, sobre el proceso de toma de decisiones acerca de las opciones universitarias. Primero se contextualiza este estudio de caso dentro del estudio más amplio así como su fundamentación teórica, en la que se hace énfasis en la naturaleza activa y social del aprendizaje. La metáfora usada por el estudiante (“yo y mi futuro”, y “unir los puntos”) se describe a continuación para acercarnos al uso del concepto de la zona de desarrollo próximo en el contexto de la orientación de la carrera. Se hace énfasis en particular, en el rol del sujeto como agente y su participación activa como formas en que las personas pueden desarrollarse más allá de las expectativas de la sociedad.ABSTRACTThis article examines an emerging social constructivist approach to career guidance, with a particular focus on the concept of the zone of proximal development. This is done by examining a metaphor used by one of the students who took part in a small scale in-depth qualitative study, all of whom were in the process of making their university choices. Some background to the study is given in order to set the scene and the theoretical lens for the study is then described, emphasising the active and social nature of learning. The metaphor used by the student (“me and my future” and “joining the dots”) is then described and interpreted in order to put forward understandings of the zone of proximal development in the context of career guidance. In particular the role of agency and participation are highlighted as ways in which people can develop beyond the expectations of society.
Consideración de la cognición y de la emoción en el aprendizaje: implicaciones para la orientación
Authors: Buli-Holmberg Jorun , Schiering Marjorie , Bogner Drew
Published: July 2020

RESUMENPensar es un proceso natural. Existen varios procesos cognitivos en las tres fases recíprocas de: Inicio de la Conciencia y Organización, Pensamiento Crítico y Creativo, y Procesos Meta‐cognitivos. Las creencias y los sentimientos de un individuo se entremezclan continuamente influyéndose de forma recíproca. La consideración de “quién” soy como aprendiz influye en “cómo” se aprende. “Cómo” se aprende y se enseña depende de la conciencia sobre lo que uno piensa y siente, lo cual conforma sis‐ temas de creencias y valores. Hay algunas realidades sociales comunes que engloban y trascienden a la propia cultura. Estos temas son relevantes en la Orientación Educativa.ABSTRACTThinking is a natural process. There are various cognitive processes that occur in the three reciprocal phases of Beginning Awareness and Organization, Critical and Creative Thinking, and Meta‐cognitive Processes. Individual’s thinking and feelings are continually co‐joined and impact each other in a reciprocal fashion. Awareness of “who” one is as a learner impacts “how” one learns. “How” one learns and teaches is reliant on awareness of “what” one thinks and feels, which forms belief and value systems. There are common social and societal realities that encompass and transcend one’s culture. We consider these are basic issues to address in Educational Guidance.

RESUMENEl objetivo fundamental de este trabajo es diagnosticar las necesidades educativas de los alumnos con parálisis cerebral para, articular la respuesta educativa; no sin antes delimitar, las parcelas o ámbitos en torno a los cuales se agrupan los indicadores que servirán para la observación y valoración necesarias, después de revisar la bibliografía sobre el tema. Su principal utilidad es que proporciona un instrumento para el conocimiento de las necesidades educativas de estos alumnos de cara a una intervención efectiva y fundamentada.ABSTRACTThe primary objective of this work is to identify the educational needs of students with cerebral palsy to decide on the appropriate educational response; after revising the existing literature on the topic, it is needed to define the indicators for observation and valorisation and the fields where those are grouped. The outcomes of this project provide a tool for better understanding the educational needs of these students in relation to a reasoned and effective intervention.
