Legislación e imaginarios sociales en el escalafón y los salarios de los educadores de primaria en Colombia. 1952-19941
Authors: Soto Arango Diana Elvira
Published: August 2021

El objeto del presente trabajo se orienta a demostrar que en Colombia se presenta una legislación escolar, hacia el educador del nivel de enseñanza primaria, direccionada según la política pública que se cristaliza en reformas que presentan un marcado sello, según el gobierno político que las expida en su momento. La relevancia del estudio se plantea desde la necesidad de conocer este período histórico en el cual se inscribió la mayoría de las historias de vida de las maestras que analizamos en Colombia. Al respecto, nos preguntamos sobre ¿cuáles son las políticas públicas e imaginarios que se han presentado en la legislación y financiación del educador colombiano, en el nivel de la primaria, y la aplicabilidad y variabilidad de la norma, mediados por los sindicatos de maestros de 1952 a 1994? Nos sustentamos en la historia política bajo el marco conceptual de la historia social de la educación y las mentalidades. La metodología comparada bajo criterios de políticas gubernamentales en la financiación de la educación, movimientos de maestros por medio de sindicatos, escalafón docente y salarios nos permitieron analizar el impacto y el imaginario social del educador colombiano. Las estrategias se orientan desde el análisis de la legislación hasta los casos concretos de hechos históricos que motivaron cambios en la normativa docente. En este sentido, tomamos como antecedentes, en la época colonial, la reforma de 1774 y el en siglo XIX nos centramos en la de 1870 y 1892. En el siglo XX nos centramos en el período de 1913 a 1952. La primera fecha, cuando se establece la pensión de jubilación para los maestros, y, la segunda, cuando se reglamenta el desempeño docente. El segundo período lo llevamos has-ta la expedición del Estatuto Docente en 1979, concertado con la organización sindical de Fe-deración Colombiana de Educadores, FECODE, que está vigente en la mayoría de sus artículos. Finalizamos, el tercer período, en la Ley 115 de 1994, por representar la política vigente hacia el sector educativo. Se concluye que la legislación presenta un imaginario social sobre el maestro, mediado por la política pública y en especial por la concepción de los partidos políticos que han legislado sobre este educador y no menos importante es la mediación de los sindicatos regionales y el nacional, que han revindicado una concepción y estado laboral al cual se han unido otras profesiones que presentan un reto de identidades y competitividad laboral.
La modernización de los contenidos y métodos de enseñanza: reflexiones sobre la Escuela Nueva en Colombia
Authors: Ríos Beltrán Rafael , Cerquera Cuellar Martha Yanet
Published: August 2021

La Escuela Nueva en Colombia significó la apertura hacia un proceso de modernización de loscontenidos y de reforma de los métodos de enseñanza. Desde una perspectiva histórica, el artículodescribe este proceso por medio de los métodos que mayores transformaciones operaron en los sistemas y métodos de enseñanza en el saber pedagógico colombiano durante la primera mitad del siglo XX, a saber: los Centros de Interés, del médico belga Ovidio Decroly y el Método de Proyectos derivado de la pedagogía activa del norteamericano John Dewey. Los maestros en formación y egresados de las escuelas normales hicieron uso de estos dos sistemas de enseñanza para globalizar la enseñanza y para romper con el antiguo aislamiento de las diferentes asignaturas. Sus tesis o monografías de grado constituyen un campo documental invaluable para comprender la complejidad de las prácticas de apropiación de este acontecimiento pedagógico en Colombia.

Un Testimonio del Pensamiento Político Ilustrado Criollo: Manuel Moreno
Authors: Lértora Mendoza Celina A.
Published: August 2021

La Ilustración criolla debe ser considerada en su relación con la Ilustración europea, pero con desarrollos propios y diferenciados según las regiones y las tradiciones locales. Este trabajo considera un solo rasgo consensuado como propio de la Ilustración: los principios políticos reformistas. Analizo un texto relevante de las ideas políticas que sustentaron quienes de hecho hicieron praxis políticas desde 1810 en adelante, para ver cuáles son los rasgos que pueden considerarse de tradición ilustrada, así como, al mismo tiempo, de qué manera los asumían aplicándolos a la situación que vivían: Vida y memorias del Dr. D. Mariano Moreno, de Manuel Moreno, su hermano, publicado en Londres, poco tiempo de la muerte del biografiado, en 1812. La propuesta que funciona como eje articulador de las ideas es la superación del despotismo ilustrado español. Las ideas centrales de carácter ilustrado que pueden rastrearse en este texto y que giran en torno a dicho eje son: 1) La participación ciudadana en la cosa pública, 2) las equivocaciones políticas despóticas, 3) la libertad de comercio, 4) la legitimación de la insurrección, 5) la censura, 6) la enseñanza, 7) las profesiones liberales y 8) la formación del buen político.Termina con una apelación que preanuncia el pragmatismo criollo que guió, en mayor o menor medida, a los políticos más sagaces de la nueva generación. Se concluye que los rasgos analizados confirman la hipótesis.
Two Exceptional Witnesses of Latin American Independence: The Prussian Explorer Alexander Von Humboldt and The Virginian Politician Thomas Jefferson
Authors: Rebok Sandra
Published: August 2021

This paper analyzes Alexander von Humboldt and Thomas Jefferson’s respective positions regarding the independence of Spanish colonies in South America, as well as the way these views were determined by their own personal experiences. Humboldt is an observer of the political situation just before the beginning of the independence movements. Jefferson is an important actor in both the US independence process and the subsequent creation of a new society. Their respective stands on Spanish America independence movements cannot be studied unrelatedly to the conclusions they draw from both the French Revolution and its consequences. This work shows the way both figures discussed these events through the correspondence they exchanged. Last, through these distinguished representatives of the Old and the New World, similarities and differences in the way these political events were addressed from both sides of the Atlantic are also assessed.
El Niño con su Padre de Fray Diego Padilla
Authors: Campo del Pozo Fernando
Published: August 2021

Con este artículo se procura dar a conocer el pensamiento pedagógico del P. fray Diego Francisco Padilla, en un opúsculo titulado El Niño con su Padre, del que se hace un estudio y se reproduce. Diego Padilla fue el agustino más conspicuo de la Ilustración en América a finales del siglo XVIII y comienzos del XIX. Siendo criollo e ilustrado, promovió la filosofía moderna y la educación popular. Era un poco enigmático al no firmar sus libros.En la introducción se analizan algunas facetas de su vida y obras, como educador y promotor de la Independencia del Nuevo Reino de Granada.Fue profesor universitario, provincial y párroco con dotes de gobierno y de periodista. Para el año 1809, tenía ya escritos 49 opúsculos “sobre el modo y circunstancias de hacer feliz” a su patria, a la que sirvió redactando el Acta de la Independencia de Colombia y llegó a ser presidente del Congreso. Fue amigo de Antonio Nariño y de Simón Bolívar. Estuvo preso y sufrió el destierro por defender la independencia de América y los derechos humanos.Fue neo-rousseauniano en economía y tradujo al castellano el tratado de Economía de J. J. Rousseau. Le contradijo en educación, refutando el Emilio con su libro El Niño con su Padre, que es un modelo de educación cívica, integral y cristiana.

TÉCNICAS DE IMPUTACIÓN PARA DATOS DE PRECIPITACIÓN MÁXIMA MENSUAL EN LA ZONA CENTRAL DE BOYACÁ
Authors: Bello Angie Milena , Cuta Julián Andrés , García Ehidy Karime
Published: August 2021

La precipitación se encuentra relacionada directamente con el suministro de agua de las cuencas fluviales, convirtiéndose su predicción en un objetivo de estudio en diferentes investigaciones. Sin embargo, los registros históricos a menudo muestran datos faltantes debido a fallas instrumentales, técnicos o humanos. Esta limitación impacta directamente los resultados de los análisis estadísticos que puedan ser realizados posteriormente. Esta investigación aborda este problema para un conjunto de datos con características similares, recopilados en la parte central del departamento de Boyacá - Colombia para el período 1974-2013. Se evaluó el desempeño de los mecanismos de imputación de pérdida MCAR, MAR o MNAR, cada uno de estos se implementó usando una imputación múltiple con un enfoque aleatorio, una asignación por el método de K-Nearest Neighbors con enfoque espacial y una imputación por el método de suavizado de Kalman con enfoque temporal. Se midió la convergencia de los estadísticos descriptivos del valor imputado y el valor original y se realizó la comparación de los ajustes gráficos y sus distribuciones de probabilidad, sugiriendo un mejor ajuste usando la imputación múltiple Amelia en conjunto con un ajuste a una distribución gamma para los datos faltantes en el conjunto de datos de referencia.
CARACTERIZACIÓN DE CAPACIDADES LOGÍSTICAS EN ASOCIACIONES AGRÍCOLAS PRODUCTORAS DE FRESA EN LOS MUNICIPIOS DE SOACHA Y SIBATÉ
Authors: Barrera Bello Laura Nataly , Sandoval Cifuentes Yuli Andrea , Gallego Pinzón Erika Gisseth , Córdoba Berrio Arturo Yesid , Castro Mateus Carlos Eduardo
Published: August 2021

La logística agropecuaria en Colombia enfrenta grandes retos, debido, entre otros factores, a la poca inversión recibida, al alto grado de intermediación en la cadena de suministro, lo cual causa una disminución en la cantidad monetaria percibida por los productores y un elevado precio pagado por el consumidor final, y a factores como la baja asociatividad, sumado a la poca organización y falta de capacidades de las asociaciones existentes. Dentro de dichas capacidades, se encuentra la asistencia técnica que requieren los asociados y los apoyos para la comercialización de sus productos. Al no contar con las capacidades necesarias, se generan pérdidas en los productores, al no recibir la remuneración adecuada por sus cosechas. Esto desincentiva la producción y deteriora la calidad de vida de los campesinos. Por lo anterior, se propone realizar un análisis para fortalecer las capacidades logísticas de asociaciones productoras de fresa, desde dos enfoques. El primero hace referencia a las capacidades físicas, orientadas a medios como el transporte, las instalaciones y los medios tecnológicos de información y de trazabilidad. El segundo contempla las capacidades en forma de modos logísticos, abarcando tres procesos fundamentales: aprovisionamiento, almacenamiento e inventarios, y distribución. Para el análisis de esta situación, se establece como foco de estudio a los productores de fresa pertenecientes a asociaciones agrícolas de los municipios de Soacha y Sibaté, principales productores de este fruto a nivel nacional. La metodología de estudio se desarrollará desde un enfoque pragmático, con el uso de estrategias de carácter mixto, mediante encuestas y entrevistas semiestructuradas como instrumentos de recolección de información primaria.
DISEÑO DE UNA ESTACIÓN TERRENA SDR PARA SATÉLITES DE ÓRBITA BAJA
Authors: Orduy Rodríguez Jaime Enrique , Rodríguez Barón Iván Felipe , Cubillos Chaparro Cristian Andrés
Published: August 2021

Los sistemas espaciales se caracterizan por la planeación y creación de todos sus segmentos con el fin de que en conjunto se cumpla una misión; con relación a estos sistemas, en Colombia han sido desarrollados dos misiones espaciales: el Libertad 1, un CubeSat DE 1U de la Universidad Sergio Arboleda y el FACSAT1, un CubeSat de 3U de la Fuerza Aérea Colombiana. Dichas misiones generaron el desarrollo completo del segmento espacial denominado satélite, a su vez han generado el segmento terrestre denominado Estación terrena. Para el asegurar el éxito del cumplimiento de la misión se hace necesario tener control sobre el desarrollo del segmento terrestre; es decir, las estaciones terrenas, por esta razón, y con la motivación de la construcción del segmento terrestre de una misión espacial en la Fundación Universitaria Los Libertadores, se logró definir un diseño preliminar para rastrear satélites del tipo pico y nano dentro del segmento radioaficionado o universitario. Con base en la investigación aplicada se buscó la generación de conocimiento dentro de la institución con la aplicación en el sector espacial, desarrollando las pautas necesarias que permitieran la identificación de los diferentes componentes para la construcción de una Estación Terrena para pequeños satélites. Con la búsqueda de las capacidades necesarias para obtener una recepción adecuada de los satélites, se obtuvo una estación terrena de bajo costo usando tecnología comercial y, principalmente, componentes de hardware del tipo SDR. Finalmente, se realizó una comparación con estaciones terrenas bajo costo para mirar la contribución en Colombia.
Los profesores de Inglés (re)clamando por un cambio en el concepto de formación inicial de profesores
Authors: Castañeda Trujillo Jairo Enrique
Published: August 2021

La formación inicial de profesores de inglés se nutre de muchas voces, también se tienen en cuenta postulados de la Pedagogía Crítica.  Los docentes en formación, solicitan que esas voces sean escuchadas, pues se hace necesario conocer las experiencias pedagógicas desde su perspectiva de sus protagonistas. Este artículo, intenta rescatar las voces de los profesores de inglés en formación, a través del análisis de sus reflexiones escritas, durante el proceso de práctica pedagógica. Los principales hallazgos muestran que los profesores de inglés en formación claman por un cambio en los procedimientos y la forma de ver la práctica docente, así como también el rol principal que tienen los mentores para poder escuchar las voces de los profesores de inglés en formación. Se concluye, entonces, que una alternativa de pedagogía crítica abre el espacio para ser reflexivo, comprender el contexto propio y problematizarlo y, posteriormente, lograr un cambio.
Writer and Process: A Success Story Waiting to Happen
Authors: Peñaloza Rallón Anna Carolina
Published: August 2021

It is time to face the facts. Every day we are asked to write more and more in English. Our academic existence is dependent on whether we can publish in English or perish (Mauranen, Pérez-Llantada, & Swales, 2010).  English has become the lingua franca of science and knowledge, but what happens when the structures and rules of standard Academic Writing seem to be against us?  Well, writers learn to adapt. We use translators, copy model structures, look for outside help, hire proofreaders, and talk to teachers. Despite our efforts, only a few writers become successful. What if we could find a solution within our own context? What if these successful writers had a secret to share with the rest of us? After all, every individual has been through a “writing process”, a series of events that have shaped the writer. By looking at the events that made successful writers who they are, we could understand how to better improve teaching practices in writing, develop efficient writing strategies, and promote individual writing styles all within our own context.

Cultural Hegemony Portrayed in Cutting Edge Pre-Intermediate Textbook
Authors: Caro Héctor Javier , Caro Diana Andrea
Published: August 2021

The use of textbooks in the EFL classroom is a trend that shapes the way language teachers teach and how students learn. Teachers design and use a great deal of materials for teaching and developing foreign language skills, but in terms of culture, they usually prefer to trust publishing houses for the cultural content included in their textbooks. What we do not know is that most of these textbooks promote hegemony and standardization of cultures under the conscious or unconscious ideology of the colonization of being. Teachers need to learn how to analyze and unveil the hidden mechanisms of colonization that are portrayed in some textbooks, a process which can be carried out through the use of Critical Discourse Analysis.
Pre-Service Teachers' Perceptions on the Role of English Teachers
Authors: Carvajal Angélica María , Duarte Medina Yolanda
Published: August 2021

This small-scale research project was carried out with 15 pre-service teachers enrolled in a B.A. English as a Foreign Language program at a private university with a distance learning modality. The goal of this study was to enable pre-service teachers to express what they thought their role as English teachers should be. The researchers chose narrative inquiry as a way to hear the students’ voices and take them into account in order to promote positive changes in their teaching practice. Different data collection instruments were implemented, such as oral narratives from an unstructured interview, written narratives from tutors’ reflections in a journal, and a questionnaire to characterize the participants. The findings showed that the pre- service teachers characterized the role of the English teacher as being committed and engaged in the learning process. They also displayed an empathetic attitude toward teaching in the English classroom. Additionally, they highlighted innovativeness and open-mindedness as crucial traits for creating a positive environment in the classroom and activating the affective filter.

Writing Development Through Materials That Focus on Peer Feedback in an EFL Context
Authors: Salinas Adriana María
Published: August 2021

This paper reports on the findings of a research project carried out in order to analyze how English as a foreign language writing evolves when eighth graders from José Max León School are engaged in developing worksheets that focus on peer feedback. This study emerged from my concern that most of my eighth-grade students did not consider my feedback during the writing process. To collect and manage the data of this action research study, I used the qualitative approach and three instruments: field notes, students’ artifacts, and a survey. The results presented a significant improvement in the students’ writing skills thanks to the implementation of peer feedback. Additionally, the worksheets implemented were relevant for students since they were based on appealing content, which contributed to enhancing their engagement and feedback participation.
Student Awareness of Social Practices by Using Reading Strategies Through Blogs
Authors: Puerto Paola Yesenia
Published: August 2021

This paper reports a qualitative action study carried out with learners from English Level 2 from the International Languages Institute at a public university in the city of Duitama, Colombia. This research arose from a problem reported in a diagnostic survey, which showed the development of reading activities to be monotonous, having scarce knowledge, and using limited reading strategies. Video recording extracts, student blogs and an open-ended questionnaire reported that the use of blogs promotes reading as a meaningful activity. Likewise, the use of strategies (making connections, asking questions, predictions, and imagery) empowered the students to interpret their knowledge and their world. In the same way, reading from blogs revealed reflections, experiences, and personal points of view to challenge and make sense of attitudes, situations, and progress in the social practices of individual students. Five workshops were designed and implemented by adopting the Cognitive Academic Language Learning Approach (CALLA) as a model to guide students in constructing their process as conscious readers.
Teatro Para la Expresión

Published: August 2021

El proyecto ‘TEATRO PARA LA EXPRESIÓN’ es una estrategia pedagógica que tiene como objetivo mejorar la expresión oral en los estudiantes de la institución educativa Silvino Rodríguez, sede Establecimiento Penitenciario Carcelario de Mediana Seguridad en la ciudad de Tunja del ciclo lectivo interdisciplinar V, dicha investigación se encuentra enmarcada en el paradigma cualitativo, ya que se enfatiza más en el proceso que llevan los estudiantes y la toma de decisiones durante su desarrollo, y está enfocado más a la solución de problemas concretos que a contribuir a la teoría científica (Baez, 2003). Así mismo, está orientado bajo los criterios de la investigación crítico social, ya que en ésta se reflexiona sobre educación y sus problemas actuales. El procedimiento que se plantea sigue las reglas comunes de la investigación acción, principalmente por que su objetivo es mejorar la práctica educativa por medio de la creación de estrategias que mejoren el discurso y la práctica docente. Esta investigación "involucra a un colectivo de estudiantes privados de la libertad y se trabaja desde su contexto, es decir, se da la investigación desde el campo donde se desarrollan los sujetos y objetos a investigar, la escuela y el aula de clase" (Baez, 2003).

Education in Times of the Pandemic COVID 19
Authors: Novoa Romero Luis Alejandro
Published: August 2021

In this reflective essay, I want to show the situation that I experienced in the last semester of my career, which was the investigative pedagogical final practicum at the Universidad Pedagógica y Tecnológica de Colombia. I started developing this last stage in the “Escuela Normal Superior Santiago de Tunja”. Then, I had to change the institution, and I finished my practice in the “Institución Educativa Libertador Simón Bolívar”. In this process, the COVID 19 pandemic was expanding in almost every country, and the world stopped the normal development of activities, which included the academic institutions. For that reason, I decided to reflect about education around the world and some of the challenges that are always present. Also, I wanted to talk about the new difficulties related to the virus and the ways teaching could implement technological devices and internet connection. Finally, I write some of the implications that I consider important in these difficult times in which education will not stop.

Exploring the Landscape of Researching the Teaching Practicum in the ELT Context
Authors: Samacá Bohórquez Yolanda
Published: August 2021

This paper describes a review of the research developed on the English Language Teaching Practicum (ELTP) as part of a doctoral study on the senses of the ELTP through the experiences and interrelations of the English language teaching practicum community (ELTPC): preservice teachers (PTs), school and university mentors, (SMs-UMs [1]) in the Colombian context. In the first part, the paper situates the ELTP in Initial Language Teacher Education (ILET) and elaborates on the contributions Colombian English Language scholars have made in regard to the ELTP. This review portrays instructional processes, reflective approaches, beliefs, expectations and dichotomies, identity construction, and research as a central axis in ELTP core tendencies. The majority of the studies continue to invisibilize the three-voiced experiences of those subjects who live the ELTP. In the second part, the paper discusses pedagogical colonialism in English Language Teaching (ELT) extended to the ELTP as a static-limited conceptualization that normalizes ELTP. From a decolonial standpoint, I would affirm that understanding the senses of the ELTP through the experiences and interrelations of pre-service teachers, school, and university mentors might contribute to questioning the hegemonic views rooted in epistemic perspectives of the Global North that have dominated the ELT field and therefore the ELTP. Furthermore, we can comprehend the holistic formation processes that pre-service teachers go through with their SMs and UMs to envision different ways of being, doing, and thinking about the plurals and particularities of the ELTP.

[1] These terms are used in this paper to address cooperating teachers and university advisors, which have been traditionally named in the literature.

Globalization, Cultural Diversity, Education
Authors: Vez López Enrique
Published: August 2021

With the advent of globalization and an ever-growing widespread access to information and communication technologies (ICTs), the cultural minorities become increasingly involved in a process of cultural standardization at the expense of their own cultural identity and language. Different social, economic, and technological elements, together with mainstream education play a very important role in the negation of regional and local cultural identities. These factors lead minoritarian cultural groups to see the dominant culture as more attractive and modern, which often pushes them to abandon their own culture in the hope of better employment perspectives and a better lifestyle for them and their children. In the face of this cultural crisis, intercultural education for all can help stop the erosion of cultural diversity around the world.
Using Mobile Learning to Enhance Pre-Service Teachers’ Participation in Distance Education English Tutoring Sessions
Authors: Carvajal Téllez Angélica María , Medina Yolanda Duarte
Published: August 2021

This article is the result of a small-scale research study aimed to enhance pre-service teachers’ participation in distance education tutoring sessions at the Universidad Santo Tomas, CAU (University Assistance Centre) in Chiquinquirá. The study was carried out by implementing mobile learning, specifically a mobile learning application called Kahoot. When carrying out online activities, in particular grammar games and oral discussions that involved the use of smart phones in tutorial sessions, the pre- service students were more engaged, and their participation increased greatly. Moreover, it is meaningful for students to improve their English language competence by activating their use of digital skills. Some of the benefits of mobile learning are flexibility and personalized learning activities, which try to address the needs of individual learners. This study showed that mobile learning promotes active participation, as well as knowledge construction and collaborative learning. It also creates a positive atmosphere and exposes students to innovative learning environments.

Writing short stories to describe literary language use and perceptions as writer
Authors: Hernández Martín José Alonso
Published: August 2021

This qualitative case study aims at describing the process followed by ninth grade students at a private religious school when using and analyzing literary language. The instruments used to carry out this study were: students’ artifacts to identify and analyze the literary language used, field notes, and interviews. During this process, the learners as authors generated the construction of meaning and developed their competence in writing. The results show that students used metaphors and similes (literary features) to express ideas and details about their contexts in written production. In turn, students profited from the poetic function of the language where their voices as authors describe their perceptions and experiences as writers.
Lights, Camera, Action! English learning through drama
Authors: Becerra Carvajal Wendy Gorena , Alfonso Colmenares Daniela Lucia , Forero Gómez Brayan José , Barón Beltrán Lina Katherine
Published: August 2021

Over the past few years, learning English has gained significant importance throughout Colombia. In order for students to accomplish proficiency in this language, different strategies and methodologies are used to help improve their basic language skills. This article explores the use of drama as a strategy to develop two basic English language skills: reading and speaking. Additionally, social relationships among eleventh graders at a public institution are examined. Values, such as leadership, and the use of voice, body language, concentration, and shyness displayed during the activities were analyzed among the students. The most relevant findings form this experience are presented and described as a way to encourage teachers and students to think of drama as a useful pedagogical strategy applicable not only in linguistics, but in social and personal fields as well.
What Happens in the Language Classroom in regards to Communication? An analysis of the Cooperative Principle
Authors: Mora Menjura Willian Alexander
Published: August 2021

The concept of communication in the field of education has been discussed by language teachers, scholars, and researchers among others. This article analyzes and reflects on the way in which language teachers and students communicate in the language classroom. This analysis was done based on the rules of the Cooperative Principle, proposed by Paul Grice in 1975. The inquiry consisted on studying how the teacher and students flout the maxims of communication proposed by the principle (quality, quantity, relation and manner). For the analysis, an eighth grade English class at a private school was recorded, and parts of the video were extracted. This analysis is not focused on studying how teachers and students make mistakes, but rather how communication is carried out in the language classroom.

Published: August 2021

En este artículo se presenta un análisis del estado inicial de la cuestión en relación con el concepto de interculturalidad —concepto clave en educación— en la formación de futuros maestros de idiomas, en cuatro países: España, México, Chile y Colombia. Primero se dan a conocer los elementos conceptuales básicos de interculturalidad, multiculturalidad, educación intercultural y formación de futuros docentes de idiomas. Luego se revisan las fuentes documentales y se dilucidan las tendencias que ven la interculturalidad como proceso pedagógico que debe responder a exigencias globales y no como construcción social y situada, como lo étnico (estado) y no como la diversidad cultural (proceso). Finalmente se presenta una reflexión sobre las futuras áreas de investigación en interculturalidad y la formación de docentes de idiomas.
Tracing the theoretical path of my teaching experience at a private English institute
Authors: Caro Ávila Angie Milena
Published: August 2021

This paper reflects on the connections between theory and practice in a private English institute in which students follow seven different stages to complete one lesson. The objective of the researcher, an in-service English teacher, was to analyze the institute’s theoretical principles underlying each of the seven stages. These stages were studied in terms of the theories or approaches which guided the different stages in teaching and learning the English language. In order to provide an informed review of the theory and its application in practice, specialized authors, such as Richards and Rodgers (1993) or Harmer (2013), were revisited. Throughout the paper, the benefits and drawbacks students received when using the identified theories or approaches in their classes are reflected upon. Additionally, the researcher’s professional development during the steps she guided is critically analyzed.

RECICLAJE DE RESIDUOS PLÁSTICOS PARA LA PRODUCCIÓN DE AGREGADOS LIVIANOS
Authors: Ojeda Juan Pablo , Mercante Irma Teresa
Published: August 2021

Una alternativa para el reciclaje de los residuos plásticos es la producción de agregados livianos, pero en la bibliografía consultada se detectó una carencia de datos sobre su caracterización física y mecánica. En este trabajo se obtuvieron ocho muestras de plásticos asimilables a agregados en industrias locales (Mendoza, Argentina), se caracterizaron y se presentaron sus procesos de obtención. También se estudiaron los requisitos normativos vigentes en Argentina para considerar las muestras como agregados livianos, concluyendo que sólo dos de ellas cumplieron los estándares exigidos. Sin embargo, leves modificaciones en los procesos de reciclaje, clasificación por tamaños o mezcla entre distintas muestras, permitiría utilizar todas ellas.
The Comorbidities of Childhood Obesity
Authors: Ajari Esther , Ademusire Babatunde , Babatunde Abdulhammed
Published: August 2021

Childhood obesity is a preventable multi-systemic disease that has become an epidemic. In this narrative review, we showed evidence, in the literature, of the affectation of body systems by obesity. Co-morbid conditions of obesity in the cardiovascular, nervous, dermatological, respiratory, endocrine, reproductive, musculoskeletal, gastrointestinal, and renal systems, and its effects on mental health are discussed. Obesity ultimately reduces the quality of life of children and is a leading cause of preventable deaths. Effective measures aimed at the prevention of obesity and the treatment of its co-morbid conditions should be taken.
Combination Therapy for Neuropathic Pain: A Review of Recent Evidence
Authors: Serrano Afonso Ancor , Carnaval Thiago , Videla Cés Sebastiá
Published: August 2021

Pharmacological treatment is not very effective for neuropathic pain (NP). A progressive decrease in the estimated effect of NP drugs has been reported, giving rise to an increase in the use of the multimodal analgesic approach. We performed a new, independent review to assess whether more evidence and of better-quality has become available since the last systematic review. We evaluated the efficacy, tolerability, and safety of double-blinded, randomized, controlled trials involving only adult participants and comparing combination therapy (CT: ≥ 2 drugs) to a placebo and/or at least one other comparator with an NP indication. The primary outcome assessed was the proportion of participants reporting ≥50% pain reductions from baseline. The secondary outcome assessed was the proportion of drop-outs due to treatment-emergent adverse events. After removing duplicates, 2323 citations were screened, with 164 articles assessed for eligibility, from which 16 were included for qualitative analysis. From the latter, only five lasted for at least 12 weeks and only six complied with the required data for complete analysis. CT has been adopted for years without robust evidence. Efforts have been made to achieve better-quality evidence, but the quality has not improved over the years. In this regard, guidelines for NP should attempt to make recommendations about CT research, prioritizing which combinations to analyze.
Two Sets of Initial Conditions on Boreal Forest Carbon Storage Economics
Authors: Kärenlampi Petri P.
Published: August 2021

Two sets of initial conditions are used in the investigation of capital return rate and carbon storage in boreal forests. Firstly, a growth model is applied in young stands as early as the inventory-based model is applicable. Secondly, the growth model is applied to observed wooded stands. Four sets of thinning schedules are investigated in either case. First, the capital return rate is aspired without any restriction. Second, the number of thinnings is restricted to at most one. Third, thinnings are restricted to the removal of only trees thicker than 237 mm. Fourth, commercial thinnings are omitted. The two sets of initial conditions yield similar results. The capital return rate is a weak function of rotation age, which results in variability in the optimal number of thinnings. Reducing the number of thinnings to one increases timber stock but induces a capital return rate deficiency. The deficiency per excess volume unit is smaller if the severity of any thinning is restricted by the removal of large trees only. Omission of thinnings best applies to spruce-dominated stands with stem count less than 2000/ha. Restricted thinning intensity applies to deciduous stands and dense pine stands. The albedo effect increases the benefits of restricted thinnings and increased clearcuttings instead of contradicting the carbon storage.
