Authors: Hnatiuk M.
Published: May 2022

The article presents some aspects of assessing students' educational achievements formed in different educational systems. The attention was paid to the subject of assessment - students' knowledge, skills, habits, and attitudes, and it was emphasized that in many education systems the subject of checking is the same and has remained unchanged for many years. The types of assessment that have been shaped in the education system are described: formative and summative, external and intramural, intuitive and analytical, and empowering assessment, which minimizes screening and dropping out of students at different stages of education. It has been noted that in the Ukrainian education system, assessment as a pedagogical procedure has both a qualitative and quantitative context. In addition to traditional methods of assessing the knowledge and skills of students, unconventional methods are presented.The article also presents the functions of each type of assessment in the didactic and educational process. Attention is paid to the information and regulatory, motivational, and educational as well as socio-selective functions. It has been distinguished that the main functions of assessment in Ukrainian education include controlling, didactic, diagnostic-corrective, stimulating-motivating, and educational functions.Practical aspects of a given problem are included in the comparative analysis of the Polish and Ukrainian educational systems. Based on the collected data, the otherness of evaluating the pupils’ progress in the earlier stages of education is presented. The scale of assessing the students' educational achievements in education in Poland and Ukraine was described and compared. The behavior rating scale has also been compared.

A MASTERCLASS IN ADULT EDUCATION: TECHNOLOGY AND SKILLS
Authors: Pehota O. , Kupenko O.
Published: May 2022

The publications of the first quarter of the XXI century talk about the need for creativity, imagination, initiative of an adult. The article examines how masterclasses and festivals of masterclasses are used to develop the relevant qualities. The paper aims to clarify the content of these concepts.

The authors used a technological approach to reveal the meaning of the concepts of ‘masterclass’ and ‘a festival of masterclasses.’ The study is based on the provisions of the theory of transformational learning. Master class is understood as a form of organization of adult learning, the essence of which is the learner's skill. According to the analysis result, the festival of masterclasses is characterized as one that relies more on the manufacturability of the learning process.

There are two types of master classes: 1) the ones of technological level, which are designed to help in gaining new experience and in the organization of meaningful leisure for adults; 2) the ones of the skill development level, which through the self-development of the learner, invite to the self-development of the learner.

Emphasis is placed on the expediency of creating conditions for synergies and self-organization of a team of leading master classes in festivals that understand the educational needs of target groups.

It envisages publicity, the presence of an audience that observes the process of interaction between the presenter and the participants of the master class, as well as the festival as a set of masterclasses.

It turns out that in this sense, masterclasses and festivals can meet the expectations of adults to learn not only as a form of learning a new experience and the organization of meaningful leisure but as a form of learning for change and transformation, the impetus to development and self-development. In this way, the paradigm of pedagogical creativity is realized.
INTEGRATION DOMINANCE IN MODERN PRIMARY SCHOOL EDUCATIONAL PROCESS: PSYCHOLOGICAL AND PEDAGOGICAL ASPECT
Authors: Ivanchuk M.
Published: May 2022

The article theoretically substantiates the transition to an integrated educational process in primary school due to its modernization, primary school children’s psychophysiological characteristics, the integrity of their worldview, and socio-cultural needs. The influence of integration processes on all spheres of a primary school child’s psyche, namely intellectual, emotional, motivational, and demanding, is revealed.

The author notes that designing the implementation of an integrated approach in the educational process, we assume that it should be focused on a child’s holistic development and their adaptation to a modern dynamic society. It should be based on every child’s abilities, and promote personality development. Under this approach, the training content involves knowledge acquisition and its direct practical application in search and independent activities. The learning process becomes problematic and creative so that pupils can progress at their own pace, depending on their abilities, interests, and needs. A pupil becomes a real subject of the educational process. A teacher acts as an organizer of learning, a consultant who provides individualization of learning in form and content. Systematic use of specific integrated learning activities, which are aimed at cognitive abilities development, expands children’s worldviews, promotes their mental development, allows them to confidently navigate the laws of reality, and actively use the acquired knowledge in everyday life.
INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGIES OF TEACHING ‘PEDAGOGY OF PRIMARY EDUCATION’ COURSE IN THE LIGHT OF THE NEW UKRAINIAN SCHOOL CONCEPTUAL IDEAS
Authors: Miroshnichenko T.
Published: May 2022

The article highlights the theoretical and methodological features of innovative personality-oriented technologies introduction in the teaching the discipline ‘Pedagogy of Primary Education’ for future primary school teachers. The experience of using interactive, problem, aesthetic therapy technologies in lectures and practical classes, taking into account the implementation of conceptual ideas of the New Ukrainian School (partnership pedagogy, personality orientation, motivated teacher, education on values, etc.).

The purpose of studying the course ‘Pedagogy of Primary Education’ by future primary school teachers is determined, which consists of the development of professional motivation, formation of a system of knowledge about psychological and pedagogical bases of teaching and education of junior schoolchildren, modern forms of school interaction with family, development of practical skills and organizational skills., the educational environment of the New Ukrainian school on the basis of humanistic pedagogy. It is established that the most effective innovative technologies for teaching the course ‘Pedagogy of Primary Education’ are personality-oriented technologies, including interactive, project technologies, aesthetic therapy, and more.

Interactive technologies are aimed at ensuring active interaction of participants through the optimal combination of various activities, including communication, creation of psychologically comfortable conditions, in which each student feels their uniqueness, individuality, self-sufficiency. Among the many interactive teaching methods of primary education pedagogy, the most productive, in our opinion, are dialogue, discussion, brainstorming, incomplete sentence, ‘carousel’, the method of the business game, analysis of pedagogical situations, the method of PRESS and others. The use of project technologies for studying primary education pedagogy promotes individual and creative development of personality, research skills, enables finding an individual approach to each student, and gives the opportunity to choose a more convenient way of learning and the pace of work. The result of the project can be a laptop (hand-made interactive mini-book on the topic), a knowledge map (structuring educational information in visual form), etc. Aesthetic theories contribute to the provision of a specific emotional atmosphere by activating the sensory sphere of the individual and the development of creative potential in the process of educational and cognitive activities. The most effective aesthetic therapy technologies include fairy tale therapy, laughter therapy, psycho gymnastics, etc.

Emphasis is placed on the development of the professional motivation of students by involving them in interactive interaction, implementation of educational projects, individual creative tasks, aesthetic therapy activities, and more.

Authors: Matushevskaya E. A.
Published: May 2022

The article is based on the results of an empirical study of management efficiency at agricultural enterprises in the Sevastopol region. The experience of the formation and functioning of the system of strategic management of the land and property complex in the organizations of the agrarian sector of the Russian Federation demonstrates a number of significant limitations and complications, including the dynamism of changes in the external environment, the lack of strategic vision of business development, unpreparedness of personnel, poor knowledge of strategic management tools etc., reducing its effectiveness, which requires a comprehensive study and approach to a solution. As a result of the study, a balanced approach to determination of the required number of BSC indicators was justified, supplementing the traditional BSC model with an investment component and justifying its use. The introduction of the BSC, as a method of strategic management adapted to the peculiarities of the agricultural business, makes it possible to solve the economic problems of each agricultural enterprise, as well as to form and implement an optimal management strategy in accordance with the available strategic opportunities.

HISTORICAL ASPECTS OF FORMATION OF THE COASTAL AREA OF STANITSA STAROCHERKASSKAYA (COSSACK VILLAGE) IN THE ROSTOV REGION
Authors: Bergman A.
Published: May 2022

The article analyzes the formation of a Cossack village on the coastal territory of the Don River in a historical and architectural-compositional context. A retrospective of the formation of the Cossack village of stanitsa Starocherkasskaya from the 18th century is considered until now. The author focuses on both architectural and compositional aspects and historical background that influence the formation of the image of the Cossack village. In addition, the main social aspects that influenced the integration of the coastal area into the structure of a small historical settlement are identified. For the coastal area of the Starocherkasskaya Cossack village (stanitsa), the author identifies three key periods of formation and integration into the structure of the settlement. The first is the period during the 18th century. The second is the period from the 19th to the middle of 20th century. The third is the period from the second half of the 20th century to the present. Each period is considered in detail. This is of great importance in the formation of the Starocherkasskaya Cossack village (stanitsa), and in particular the coastal area as the most important component in the structure of the settlement. Five basic principles for the formation of the structure of the Cossack settlement are formulated and the role of the coastal territory in this process is indicated on the basis of analysis of historical cartographic material
CARTOGRAPHY OF SIBERIA OF THE XVII -XX CENTURIES: RESEARCH POTENTIAL AND METHODS OF WORKING WITH CARTOGRAPHIC INFORMATION
Authors: Voronina O.
Published: May 2022

Cartographic sources - maps, plans, diagrams, and drawings are deservedly the starting point in historical, socio-economic, ethnographic, architectural and urban planning, studies. However, there is no general understanding of the qualitative composition of this voluminous block of information. Moreover, there is no unified approach to the interpretation of historical cartography. The article presents the technique of "layering and analysis of multi-temporal projections of planning structures". This allows to get a classification of historical plans, highlighting fixing, design and directive plans. According to the presented methodology, the existing planning structure of the studied settlement is easily accessible in the form of digitized satellite images and is the basis for graphical analysis of the historical plan. Each of the studied cartographic sources, whether it is a plan or an explanatory note, is considered in the context of the continuous process of architectural and planning development of the settlement and the state. The presented methodology is successfully tested as part of the work on the project of the boundaries of the territory and the subject of protection of the historical settlement of federal significance "Tomsk City".
EFFICIENCY OF USING A TECHNOGENIC PRODUCT OF ELECTROLYTIC PRODUCTION OF ALUMINUM AS A MINERALIZER WHEN FIRING PORTLAND CEMENT CLINKER
Authors: Novosyolov A. , Dreer Yu. , Novoselova I. , Vasina Yu.
Published: May 2022

The possibility of using a technogenic product of the electrolytic production of aluminum (crushed electrodes) as a mineralizing additive during clinker burning is considered. The effectiveness of the action of the mineralizing effect of crushed electrodes and the classical mineralizer - calcium fluoride CaF2 is compared. The amount of mineralizers introduced during clinker burning is 1% according to the content of fluorine ion in the raw mixture. The effectiveness of the action of mineralizers is evaluated by determining the temperature range for the assimilation of calcium oxide into clinker minerals. Calcium oxide is completely assimilated by 1300 °C when calcium fluoride CaF2 is introduced into the raw mix. Introduction to the raw mixture of crushed electrodes contributes to the complete assimilation of calcium oxide to a temperature of 1250 °C. For additive-free clinker, complete assimilation of calcium oxide occurs at 1400°C. The assimilation of calcium oxide at lower temperatures in mixtures with the addition of calcium fluoride and crushed electrodes allows to reduce the burning temperature of the clinker to 1350 °C without losing the quality of the resulting clinker. Reducing the clinker burning temperature when using mineralizers will reduce the specific consumption of conventional fuel by about 6 kg per ton of clinker.
Être ou ne pas être un État : le rôle du juge interne dans la détermination de la qualité étatique d’entités étrangères
Authors: Forteau Mathias
Published: May 2022

Dans le monde contemporain, il arrive de plus en plus fréquemment que le juge interne soit requis de déterminer si une entité étrangère au statut contesté constitue un État, aux fins d’appliquer par exemple le droit des immunités, le droit des réfugiés ou le droit de l’extradition. Dans la mesure où la détermination d’une telle qualité recoupe largement le pouvoir de reconnaissance des États étrangers par le pouvoir exécutif de l’État du for, l’office du juge interne s’en trouve passablement compliqué puisqu’il lui appartient de concilier des intérêts parfois contradictoires (respecter le pouvoir de l’exécutif en matière de reconnaissance et de non-reconnaissance mais en même temps, aussi, donner un certain effet à la situation effective, en particulier lorsque des droits individuels sont en jeu). L’analyse de la pratique contemporaine, en ce qui concerne tant l’étendue que l’exercice du pouvoir du juge interne en la matière, témoigne d’une assez grande diversité dans la manière dont les juridictions internes assument leur rôle en ce domaine et de la difficulté qu’il y a à distinguer entre existence et reconnaissance d’État.

La protection de la biodiversité au-delà des zones sous juridiction nationale
Authors: Pancracio Jean-Paul
Published: May 2022

La conservation et l’utilisation durables de la biodiversité au-delà des zones maritimes sous juridiction nationale sont actuellement l’objet d’un important processus de négociations engagé au sein de l’ONU sur le fondement de la résolution de l’Assemblée générale 69/ 292 du 19 juin 2015. L’objectif est de conduire en ce domaine à un futur accord contraignant «se rapportant à la Convention des Nations Unies sur le droit de la mer » , avec pour finalité de combler les lacunes que présente cette dernière en ce qui concerne la protection de la biodiversité en haute mer et dans la Zone (fonds marins internationaux). Au-delà de la nécessité avérée d’un tel accord, reconnue désormais par l’ensemble des États, c’est cependant un mur de complexités juridiques que doit affronter le Comité préparatoire dont les travaux doivent se terminer à l’automne 2017 et auxquelles seront également confrontées un peu plus tard les délégations réunies au sein de la conférence intergouvernementale chargée d’élaborer le texte de l’accord, dont certains voudraient qu’il fût le fondement d’une gouvernance internationale des océans.

Published: May 2022

Key Point

Hemodialysis patients showed resilience in their ability to adapt to the new reality of their hemodialysis treatments.

COVID-19 was not associated with negative effects on patients' medical care.

Background

Hemodialysis patients have faced unique challenges during the COVID-19 pandemic. They face high risk of death if infected and have unavoidable exposure to others when they come to hospital three times weekly for their life-saving treatments. The objective of this study was to gain a better understanding of the scope and magnitude of the effects of the pandemic on the lived experience of patients receiving in-center hemodialysis.

Methods

We conducted semi-structured interviews with 22 patients who were undergoing dialysis treatments in five hemodialysis centers in Montreal from November 2020 to May 2021. Interviews were transcribed and then analyzed using thematic content analysis.

Results

Most participants reported no negative effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on their hemodialysis care. Several patients had negative feelings related to forced changes in their dialysis schedules, and this was especially pronounced for indigenous patients in a shared living situation. Some patients were concerned about contracting COVID-19, especially during public transportation, whereas others expressed confidence that the physical distancing and screening measures implemented at the hospital would protect them and their loved ones. Some participants reported that masks negatively affected their interactions with health care workers, and for many others, the pandemic was associated with feelings of loneliness. Finally, some respondents reported some positive effects of the pandemic, including use of telemedicine and creating a sense of solidarity.

Conclusions

Patients undergoing hemodialysis reported no negative effects on their medical care but faced significant disruptions in their routines and social interactions due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Nevertheless, they showed great resilience in their ability to adapt to the new reality of their hemodialysis treatments. We also show that studies focused on understanding the lived experiences of indigenous patients and patients from different ethnic backgrounds are needed in order reduce inequities in care during public health emergencies.

Published: May 2022

Key Points

We studied the effect of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) on the 30-day postdischarge outcomes of patients with end-stage kidney disease who are on dialysis.

During the first postdischarge week, patients on dialysis who were hospitalized with COVID-19 were more likely to experience readmission and death.

After the first week, there was no marked difference in the risks of readmission and death between patients with COVID-19 and those without.

Background

Recent investigations have shown that, on average, patients hospitalized with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) have a poorer postdischarge prognosis than those hospitalized without COVID-19, but this effect remains unclear among patients with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) who are on dialysis.

Methods

Leveraging a national ESKD patient claims database administered by the US Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, we conducted a retrospective cohort study that characterized the effects of in-hospital COVID-19 on all-cause unplanned readmission and death within 30 days of discharge for patients on dialysis. Included in this study were 436,745 live acute-care hospital discharges of 222,154 Medicare beneficiaries on dialysis from 7871 Medicare-certified dialysis facilities between January 1 and October 31, 2020. Adjusting for patient demographics, clinical characteristics, and prevalent comorbidities, we fit facility-stratified Cox cause-specific hazard models with two interval-specific (1–7 and 8–30 days after hospital discharge) effects of in-hospital COVID-19 and effects of prehospitalization COVID-19.

Results

The hazard ratios due to in-hospital COVID-19 over the first 7 days after discharge were 95% CI, 1.53 to 1.65 for readmission and 95% CI, 1.38 to 1.70 for death, both with P<0.001. For the remaining 23 days, the hazard ratios were 95% CI, 0.89 to 0.96 and 95% CI, 0.86 to 1.07, with P<0.001 and P=0.50, respectively. Effects of prehospitalization COVID-19 were mostly nonsignificant.

Conclusions

In-hospital COVID-19 had an adverse effect on both postdischarge readmission and death over the first week. With the surviving patients having COVID-19 substantially selected from those hospitalized, in-hospital COVID-19 was associated with lower rates of readmission and death starting from the second week.
Utilization of Peritoneal Dialysis in the United States: Progress in Tackling Obstacles to Expansion
Authors: El Shamy Osama
Published: May 2022

To facilitate the desired increase in home dialysis utilization in the United States, multiple factors need to be taken into consideration in order to achieve this complex task. Through policy-level facilitators such as the Advancing American Kidney Health Initiative and the expansion of telehealth utilization, adjustments to the existing payment models, providing health equity incentives, increasing number of provider education materials on home therapies, and allaying patient fears with the expansion of home dialysis education nationwide, we have taken several steps in the right direction. There is still a long way to go, and further improvements can be made while utilizing lessons learned from some of our international peers who have been successful in their implementation of large-scale home dialysis programs.
Inhibitory Antibodies against PCSK9 Reduce Surface CD36 and Mitigate Diet-Induced Renal Lipotoxicity

Published: May 2022

Background

PCSK9 modulates the uptake of circulating lipids through a range of receptors, including the low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) and CD36. In the kidney, CD36 is known to contribute to renal injury through pro-inflammatory and -fibrotic pathways. In this study, we sought to investigate the role of PCSK9 in modulating renal lipid accumulation and injury through CD36 using a high fat diet (HFD)-induced murine model.

Methods

The effect of PCSK9 on the expression of CD36 and intracellular accumulation of lipid was examined in cultured renal cells and in the kidneys of male C57BL/6J mice. The effect of these findings was subsequently explored in a model of HFD-induced renal injury in Pcsk9
−/− and Pcsk9
+/+ littermate control mice on a C57BL/6J background.

Results

In the absence of PCSK9, we observed heightened CD36 expression levels, which increased free fatty acid (FFA) uptake in cultured renal tubular cells. As a result, PCSK9 deficiency was associated with an increase in long-chain saturated FFA-induced ER stress. Consistent with these observations, Pcsk9−/−
mice fed a HFD displayed elevated ER stress, inflammation, fibrosis, and renal injury relative to HFD-fed control mice. In contrast to Pcsk9−/−
mice, pretreatment of WT C57BL/6J mice with evolocumab, an anti-PCSK9 monoclonal antibody (mAb) that binds to and inhibits the function of circulating PCSK9, protected against HFD-induced renal injury in association with reducing cell surface CD36 expression on renal epithelia.

Conclusions

We report that circulating PCSK9 modulates renal lipid uptake in a manner dependent on renal CD36. In the context of increased dietary fat consumption, the absence of circulating PCSK9 may promote renal lipid accumulation and subsequent renal injury. However, although the administration of evolocumab blocks the interaction of PCSK9 with the LDLR, this evolocumab/PCSK9 complex can still bind CD36, thereby protecting against HFD-induced renal lipotoxicity.
Aportes para una historia de la “comunidad indígena” en el noroeste del Chubut, Argentina.
Authors: Schiaffini Hernán Horacio
Published: May 2022

Partimos de constatar que a fines de la década de 1950 el significante “comunidad” no era utilizado para designar entramados políticos indígenas. Pero cuarenta años después sí, y profusamente. Debido a ello, nos enfocamos en caracterizar y situar el surgimiento de la “comunidad indígena” en tanto sujeto político en el marco de las relaciones interétnicas en el noroeste del Chubut. Proponemos que la “comunidad indígena” se configura como el significante de una articulación entre entramados locales suprafamiliares y transformaciones políticas, económicas, demográficas y legales acontecidas a partir de la década de 1960 y cristalizadas durante la restauración democrática en la década de 1980. Apelamos a la historia y la etnohistoria, la etnografía y la revisión documental y hemerográfica para apoyar nuestras hipótesis.
Escuelas rurales, docentes y fumigaciones con agro-químicos
Authors: Caisso Lucía
Published: May 2022

En este trabajo se realiza una relectura de algunos materiales de campo ya analizados previamente en el marco de una investigación sobre docentes rurales y fumigaciones con agroquímicos. A partir de esta nueva lectura se busca ampliar el resultado al que se había arribado en primera instancia y según el cual en las instituciones educativas rurales de la pampa húmeda predomina el silencio social en torno a la problemática de las fumigaciones. El nuevo análisis, enfocado en elementos más bien marginales de estos materiales de campo, permite sostener que es posible documentar no solo el silencio social sino también los sentidos y las prácticas docentes que son objeto del silenciamiento. Se propone entender a estos sentidos y prácticas como resistencias cotidianas de los sujetos en relación con el tema: resistencias que condensan una politicidad crítica en torno a lo ambiental que se despliega en los contextos rurales asumiendo formas particulares.
La política como lugar
Authors: Reusa Victoria
Published: May 2022

Desde sus primeras páginas, La política como lugar. Trabajadores, migrantes y luchas por la ciudad en Córdoba, Argentina, de María Victoria Perissinotti, nos traslada a la periferia sur cordobesa. Tierra de viejos basurales, cortaderos de ladrillos y vestigios de monte serrano donde, desde mediados del siglo XX, comenzaron a crecer barriadas y asentamientos construidos y habitados por los sectores más precarizados de las clases trabajadoras urbanas: costureras/os, vendedoras/es ambulantes, ladrilleras/os, albañiles, enfermeras/os, quinteros/as, trabajadoras domésticas. Situada desde estos suburbios, particularmente en un barrio nombrado por sus habitantes como Pueblos Unidos, la autora nos encuentra con un inquieto grupo de mujeres peruanas interesadas y (pre)ocupadas por entramar: construir relaciones con diversas organizaciones, asociaciones, partidos, funcionarios, agentes del Estado, voluntarios, militantes y referentes para, según sus propias palabras, “hacer cosas por el barrio”. Un hacer cotidiano, entendido por ellas y por otros, como político. Fiel a la premisa antropológica de atender a aquello que importa y tiene valor social para sus interlocutoras de campo, Perissinotti se propone acompañar etnográficamente esos procesos de acción política para interrogar, de manera minuciosa y vívida (Quirós, 2014), cómo estas mujeres, al construir su barrio, construyen lo que llaman “un lugar donde vivir”.
Cuando el cuidado y el amor irrumpen en una fábrica de jeans
Authors: Delmonte Allasia Antonella
Published: May 2022

El artículo trata sobre los vínculos entre el trabajo y el cuidado de hijos/as. Su objetivo radica en analizar desde una mirada interseccional las relaciones de poder que se conforman en torno al cuidado en una fábrica de jeans, a partir de las estrategias y de los sentimientos implicados en su organización. Nuestra hipótesis sugiere que el cuidado actúa como un vector de diferenciación social y refuerza tanto las desigualdades de género presentes en el vínculo matrimonial heterosexual como las desigualdades de clase intragénero presentes entre las mujeres de la fábrica analizada. Para esto realizamos un estudio de caso y adoptamos un enfoque histórico-etnográfico centrado en el análisis de los significados y las prácticas que desenvuelven los/as actores/as y en la reconstrucción de los contextos con los que dialogan.

Los cambios en la dinámica familiar, académica y social, ocurrida en el último año, ha generado un impacto significativo en el comportamiento de los niños y adolescentes. Se ha observado no solo el cambio en el comportamiento de los niños y adolescentes, muchas veces volviéndolos más iracundos o tristes, también se ha observado la presencia de signos ansiosos y depresivos, llegando incluso a situaciones que han puesto en riesgo la integridad de los niños y adolescentes. Manifestándose como, situaciones de huida de casa, intentos auto líticos y en situaciones extremas el suicidio, en esta investigación de tipo cualitativa se busca describir los factores de riesgo y la importancia del desarrollo de la resiliencia en las personas, y especialmente en niños y adolescentes, bajo la situación actual de confinamiento. El propósito de esta investigación es entender de una manera más completa cómo se va desarrollando la resiliencia en la persona, enfocados principalmente en jóvenes del sector de la Guachapala en el sur occidente de Quito. Como parte de las conclusiones se evidenció que los adolescentes han tenido varios problemas psicosociales en su vida que han afectado a su vez su desempeño académico, por lo que se propone una serie de alternativas para desarrollar de forma adecuada su proyecto de vida.

La lectura de los textos científicos en la universidad. Recomendaciones metodológicas
Authors: González Morales Alfredo , Conde Rivera Mario
Published: May 2022

La universidad actual, ante el crecimiento exponencial del conocimiento y su amplia difusión a través del Internet, exige del desarrollo de la lectura crítica como parte de la formación profesional, especialmente de los textos científicos, mismos que se utilizan en los procesos de enseñanza aprendizaje. Estos presentan diferentes orientaciones epistemológicas, ideológicas, económicas, políticas, entre otras, que requieren de un lector que los compare, evalúe y adopte sus propias perspectivas. Sin embargo, los estudiantes que ingresan en la universidad no están preparados para afrontar la lectura de los textos científicos; además, las asignaturas de comunicación que se les imparte no resuelven este vacío o no lo solventan del todo. A partir de esta situación, se proponen unas recomendaciones metodológicas basadas en el enfoque constructivista para ofrecer tratamiento a la lectura de los textos científicos. La propuesta involucra a toda la institución universitaria y concibe el trabajo con la lectura de manera transversal e interdisciplinaria, de modo que se vincule de forma permanente a los docentes de comunicación con las diferentes carreras y, a la vez, adecúe las asignaturas de comunicación a las particularidades de estas.

Design Thinking is a knowledge as a thriving innovation practice and an approach to creative problem solving. The main purpose of this study is to review existing studies which are related to the Design Thinking in Mathematics Education for primary school. The search terms were used by inserting the suitable keywords based on the main topic such as "design thinking", "mathematics education", "mathematics", "primary school" and "elementary school". Systematic Literature Review (SLR) was conducted to gain information for better understanding regarding our topic. This SLR was performed through two search engines which were SpringerLink and Scopus. In reporting this study, the PRISMA guidelines were followed. We identified and screened 1123 articles published between 2017 until 2021 in SpringerLink and Scopus. After elimination of duplicates and non-relevant topics, there were 23 articles remained based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The limited number of studies on the main topic as design thinking for primary school caused the small numbers of articles were selected. This is because there are many articles about teachers and post-graduate. Our findings indicated that the year of 2021 was mostly research conducted, followed by the year of 2020, 2019 and 2017 meanwhile there is no research conducted in 2018. Concerning the geographical distribution of the authors, the findings indicated that the predominant authors that developing the design thinking were in Germany, Australia, USA, Singapore and Switzerland, and only a few research conducted in Hong Kong, Sweden, Cyprus, Israel, Turkey, UK, Spain, Canada, Netherlands, Malaysia, and mixed countries. From the results, we can see that this design thinking should be practiced by teachers in their teaching regardless of whether it is mathematics or any other subject. In conclusion, design thinking among the students, especially primary school students nowadays, is indispensable to ensure that our country is always moving forward in the era of globalization.
