A comparative assessment of bracket survival and adhesive removal time using flash-free or conventional adhesive for orthodontic bracket bonding: A split-mouth randomized controlled clinical trial
Authors: Grünheid Thorsten , Larson Brent E.
Published: September 2018

Objectives:

To compare bracket survival and adhesive removal time between a flash-free and a conventional adhesive for orthodontic bracket bonding.

Materials and Methods:

Forty-five consecutive patients had their maxillary incisors, canines, and premolars bonded with ceramic brackets using a flash-free adhesive (APC Flash-Free Adhesive, 3M Unitek, Monrovia, Calif) on one side and a conventional adhesive (APCII Adhesive, 3M Unitek) on the other side. The side allocation was randomized. Bracket failure was recorded at 4-week intervals. The adhesive remnant index (ARI) was scored on debond and adhesive removal timed to the nearest second. The primary outcome was adhesive removal time per quadrant. Secondary outcomes were bracket failure rate, time to first-time failure of a bracket, and ARI score on debond. Paired t-tests were used to compare adhesive removal times and ARI scores between the adhesives with P < .05 considered statistically significant.

Results:

Bracket failure rates were 4.3% for the flash-free adhesive and 1.9% for the conventional adhesive, with mean times to first-time failure of 31 weeks for the flash-free adhesive and 42 weeks for the conventional adhesive; neither failure rates nor times to first failure were significantly different. Although the flash-free adhesive left significantly more adhesive on the tooth surface after debonding, the adhesive removal times were 22.2% shorter than with the conventional adhesive.

Conclusions:

Bracket survival with the flash-free adhesive was equivalent to the conventional adhesive when ceramic brackets were bonded. Adhesive removal was significantly faster when using the flash-free adhesive, which may result in time savings of more than 20% compared with the conventional adhesive.

Authors: Barbosa Natália Maria Vieira , Castro Ana Cláudia de , Conti Ferreira , Capelozza-Filho Leopoldino , Almeida-Pedrin Renata Rodrigues de , Cardoso Mauricio de Almeida
Published: September 2018

Objectives:

To assess reliability and reproducibility of the individual assessment of midpalatal suture maturation in computed tomography among orthodontists and radiologists for potential diagnosis application.

Materials and Methods:

Sixty axial slices from cone-beam computed tomography and multi-slice CT scans of patients aged between 11 and 21 years old (33 females and 27 males) were selected. For the investigation of reliability and reproducibility of the method, two groups of examiners were established. The first group consisted of 11 orthodontists and the second consisted of 10 radiologists. Each group examined the images and performed individual assessment of the midpalatal suture maturation method twice within an interval of 21 days. During the first and second analyses, the sequence of images was randomized to reduce potential bias. Weighted Cohen's kappa was performed to assess inter- and intra-examiners' agreement. The percentage of perfect agreement and the number of stages apart for each disagreement were calculated. The significance level was P < .05.

Results:

The overall inter-examiner agreement was satisfactory in the first (kappaw: 0.37) and the second (kappaw: 0.34) analyses. Intra-examiner agreement outcomes were similar between orthodontists (kappaw: 0.44) and radiologists (kappaw: 0.41). The percentage of perfect agreement was 43.2%.

Conclusions:

The method for individual assessment of midpalatal suture maturation revealed potential reliability and reproducibility. However, the agreement rate observed in the present study was not high enough for a method designed for routine clinical applications.
SYMBOLIC TAUTOLOGY, NON-SYMBOLIC PHENOMENOLOGY AND THE “STRUCTURE” OF THE UNCONSCIOUS
Authors: BODEA Cristian
Published: September 2018

This paper revolves around a logic of thinking that the Lacanian psychoanalysis calls the logic of the not whole. Within the confines of this logic, tautology is not only a truth that needs no demonstration, but also the proof that the absolute truth is always missing. In a certain way, the evidence of things being self imposing, it is always easy to fell into the illusion that things exist by themselves. The effect of this illusion is the thing itself (das Ding), claims Marc Richir. In order to avoid the illusion that tautology is creating, Richir indicates that although there are a variety of elements involved by this problem, there is one that underlines the whole development of truth: Sache as affair, or as something to be done. Put in other words, while das Ding is an answer, Sache is a question waiting to be answered. Sache is an empty space, or a gap, which corresponds exactly to the logic of the not whole. Because of the Sache, the meaning itself becomes a question to be answered. It becomes a sense-in-the-making, if we are to use Richir’s idea of le sens se faisant which is situated at the core of his non-symbolic phenomenology. Counting on the logic of the not whole, this paper is following the consequences that Sache and le sense se faisant have in language, with the first one corresponding to the concept of the unconscious.
ETHICAL RESPONSIBILITY AS A RESOLUTION TO ANXIETY. A PSYCHOANALYTICAL PERSPECTIVE ON THE FACE OF THE OTHER
Authors: DIOȘAN Livia
Published: September 2018

Our perspective aims to fathom to what extent Emmanual Lévinas’s philosophical and Talmudic texts deliver a manner of assuming anxiety or a resolution of anxiety. To achieve this, we propose the Lacanian concept of the Name of the Father, and we use a reading of the Lévinasian corpus aided by the theoretical developments offered by mainly Freudian and Lacanian psychoanalysis. We analyze the relation to the Face as a condition for the occurrence of the Other in his transcendence, from his height, as well as the interdiction against killing. The Face is simultaneously gaze and voice. We analyze the Lévinasian responsibility in relation to the Face as a resolution in the symbolic order of the radical anxiety in front of the Face of A-Elohim, in a face-to-face relation which could be a face-to-face relation with the text of the Torah that is the written trace of Infinity.
THE ABYSS OF THE CONSCIOUSNESS-TIME WITHIN THE CRYSTAL-IMAGE: KRZYSZTOF ZANUSSI AND WERNER HERZOG
Authors: CÂMPEAN Noemina
Published: September 2018

The paper undertakes to analyze the specificity of Gilles Deleuze’s concept of crystal-image in two films: The Structure of Crystal/ Struktura krysztalu (Krzysztof Zanussi, 1969) and Heart of Glass/ Herz aus Glas (Werner Herzog, 1976). The crystal-image offers an insight into the amorphous abyss of consciousness, but it also represents the natural culmination of image in the history of modern cinema. Whereas in Zanussi the crystal of time depicts the figure of the visionary that sees the self-castration of time, the non-actor of Herzog, with a hypnotic gaze and a heart of glass, is the only one capable of seeing the inner being of a landscape.
BIO-POWER: A CRITIQUE OF "LEGITIMATE VIOLENCE"
Authors: STOENESCU Roxana-Alice
Published: September 2018

The present research examines what forms violence has taken along rationalisation processes. To be able to work out this core, it is necessary to deal with the bio-power first. By analysing the development process of bio-power the Implemantation of its disciplinary and regulatory technologies becomes apparent. On the basis of this, the Altered forms of violence become clear within modern society. The impact this has had on modern society and the reason it became possible will be examined in detail in the following. Finally, it should be emphasised whether the term bio-power is still relevant today. The aim of the present Paper is to determine the importance of violence in today's life of modern societies and how violence is spread today.
IS RELIGIOSITY HELPFUL FOR PATIENTS WITH HEART FAILURE? IMPLICATIONS FOR MEDICAL ETHICS
Authors: FARCAŞ Anca Daniela , NĂSTASĂ Laura Elena , TÎRHAŞ Cristina Aneta
Published: September 2018

The present study aims to underline the current discussions on the religiosity-health outcome relation, highlighting the tensions that may arise in the course of the medical practice on the following questions: a) Is religiosity itself an (independent) factor capable to affect the outcome of patients with heart failure, or is the association between religiosity and health benefits mediated by other social and psychological factors?; b) To what extent do religious beliefs conduct to illness avoidance or acceptance and to adequate treatment commitment, in other words those beliefs support or contradict the medical approach?; c) What measures on social policies and medical counselling level would be more effective and appropriate for the Romanian system?; d) In which of the following policy areas could the bioethical dimension be more flexible and efficiently integrated: the doctor-patient relationship, the steps of the medical act, the curative decision making and/or the long-term support of the patient? A large understanding and evaluation of the ethical and legal frame regarding the patient’s information, treatment and healthcare is required for the medical practitioners as long as the shared decision making between patient and clinician is one based on modern medical principles followed by clinicians.
ACTUALITY AND “UNTIMELINESS” IN THE DISCOURSE ON THE REFUGEE CRISIS THE CASE OF HUNGARY
Authors: LURCZA Zsuzsanna
Published: September 2018

The figure of the refugee and asylum seeker, hidden from the masses, de-humanised, deprived of existence and rights, are in sharp contrast with their representation in the Hungarian mass media and in visual and textual materials of the Hungarian Governmental Information, which constructs a manipulated, extremist and xenophobic, ideologically biased reality. In this sense, the discourse on the refugee crisis has an actual and an untimely form. The first chapter of the paper is an ideology-criticism analysis, aiming at the deconstruction of the ideological subject-construct of the contemporary refugee existence. This analysis focuses on the Hungarian political language used to refer to the European refugee crisis since 2015, primarily the political questionnaire entitled National Consultation on Immigration and Terrorism and the text and poster campaign of the Governmental Information related to it, with references to the later, 2017 Let’s Stop Brussels campaign, 2016 Hungarian Migrant quota referendum, 2017 Soros-plan Consultation, and materials of the information campaign Wirtschaft Zusammen Integrationsinitiativen der Deutschen Wirtschaft in Germany. In the second part, this contemporary constructed form of refugee and asylum seeker existence is paralleled with its untimely discourse.
KIRCHE IN LIEBESDYNAMIK – INTEGRALES MISSIONSVERSTÄNDNIS... MIT PRAKTISCHEN KONSEQUENZEN. SKIZZE EINER EXISTENZANALYTISCHEN PASTORALTHEOLOGIE
Authors: CSISZÁR Klára A.
Published: September 2018

The church in a dynamic of love – an integral understanding of mission with practical consequences. A draft of an existential-analytical-pastoral-theology. If we want to discuss an integral term of mission, we will have to talk about existence in a three-fold way: about God’s existence, the church’s existence as well as the human’s existence. Only within the context of these interdependent definitions we will be able to talk about an integral term of mission. To this day, there has not been any theoretical foundation within the theology which would have explained how these three-fold differentiation of existence could be considered in ecclesiastical action plans, especially with regard to the practical consequences evolving from ecclesiology (the church’s existence), the trinity (God’s existence) and anthropology (human’s existence). Subsequently, I venture to conceptualise a new approach for pastoral theology which is aware of the practical consequences of those three interwoven realities of existence as well as the consequences of a sustainable, existential action plan for a church in light of an integral mission term. This newly developed foundation of an ecclesiastical praxis I call ‘Logo-pastoral and existential-analytical-pastoral-theology’ which is inspired by theologians and philosophers such as Paul Michael Zulehner, Karl Rahner, Romano Guardini, Max Scheler and last but not least Pope Francis. This published suggestion is supposed to be understood as a first draft which was presented for the first time on the 28th of May 2018 at the Private Catholic University in Linz (Austria).
Innovación y tradición en las mentiras cretenses de Odiseo (Cantos 13-19)
Authors: Stripeikis Caterina Anush
Published: September 2018

El objetivo de este trabajo consiste en analizar los relatos cretenses de Odiseo bajo las siguientes premisas: en ellos se puede percibir la existencia de una Odisea alternativa, compuesta por un grupo de versiones épicas del nóstos del héroe en el que Creta jugaba un rol central. No obstante, el poeta individual de la Odisea homérica opera activamente sobre esta tradición alternativa, modificándola. Así, se analizarán los mecanismos compositivos mediante los que el poeta individual realiza esta operación, tomando en cuenta no solo la presencia de un auditorio interno, sino también de la audiencia frente a la que se ejecutaba la performance. Se espera constatar que los estratos orales pertenecientes a una Odisea alternativa no ingresan como un mero Zitat a la Odisea homérica, sino que lo hacen modificados activamente por la voluntad del poeta.
Detection and Classification of Leukemia using MPFCM Segmentation and Random Forest with Boosting Techniques
Authors: Chinnathambi Kalaiselvi
Published: September 2018

Identification of blood disorders is through visual inspection of microscopic blood cell images. From the identification of blood disorders lead to classification of certain diseases related to blood. We propose an automatic segmentation method for segmenting White blood cell images. Firstly, modified possibilistic fuzzy c-means algorithm is proposed to detect the contours in the image. The GLCM features are extracted and features are selected by MRMR. Adaptive boosting and LS Boosting has been utilized to classify blast cells from normal lymphocyte cells. Comparison performance of classification accuracy was carried out. The effectiveness of the classification system is tested with the total of 80 samples collected. The evaluated results demonstrate that our method outperformed the existing systems with an accuracy of 88  %.
AP-de (地) Adverbs in Mandarin
Authors: Larson Richard K.
Published: September 2018

Mandarin manner adverbs like dasheng ‘loudly’ (lit. ‘big voice’) occur both sentence-medially and sentence-finally, whereas adverbs formed with the adverbializer de (地) like kuaikuaide ‘quickly’ occur only sentence-medially. The behavior of AP-地 adverbs is puzzling under a classical adjunction analysis and under Cinque’s (1999) hierarchy of functional projections. Here, I argue that Mandarin manner adverbs have a uniform low attachment in V complement position and that preverbal/medial position reflects obligatory movement imposed by the status of 地 as a “concordializing element”.
Shén (神) in Modern Chinese
Authors: Liu Hsiu-Ying , Hsieh Zhen-Tong
Published: September 2018

In modern Chinese, a new degree adverb shén 神 is emerging. Expressions such as shénhăochī 神好吃 and shényǒuqù 神有趣 are found in colloquial Chinese, and they even appear as headlines to get readers’ attention. Shén originally refers to the dominator and creator of the universe. In modern Chinese, along with the original meaning, people frequently use shén to modify things (e.g., shén jīyīn 神基因) or actions (e.g., shén huí 神回). How many senses does shén have? How did shén derive the use of degree adverb? The paper targets on shén in modern Chinese, aiming to study its senses, to work out the relations among the various usages, and to find out how it generated the use of degree adverb. The conclusion shows that the senses of shén were derived from its original meaning either directly or indirectly through reanalysis, inference, metaphorization, and metonymization. The use of degree adverb was generated through metaphorization and reanalysis.
Illusions of Totality. Global Contemporaneity and the Condition of the Museum
Authors: Osborne Peter
Published: September 2018

Este artigo considera os efeitos sobre os museus de arte da condição histórica de uma contemporaneidade global, à qual estão hoje sujeitos. A principal diferença, argumenta-se, diz respeito às formas de universalidade que os museus de arte articulam e às quais aspiram. O artigo parte de uma breve revisão da cada vez mais comum "crítica do museu" empreendida nas últimas décadas, que é uma crítica da concepção de um "museu universal" do século XIX. Ele procede refletindo sobre o caráter duplo e homólogo do projeto de totalidade desta concepção – a obra de arte como uma totalidade e a história como uma totalidade – em contraste com a heterogeneidade teórica das formas de unidade das categorias de periodização que são desenvolvidas pela história da arte hoje. As formas de totalidade herdadas revelaram-se projeções ilusórias ou fictícias. Entretanto, argumenta-se, em vez de representar uma dissolução da aspiração à universalidade do museu, como tal, essas formas heterogêneas transformaram-se em elementos de um novo construtivismo epistemológico e político em curso, por meio do qual identidades culturais são criadas. Os novos museus da contemporaneidade global trazem assim à autoconsciência a necessidade das "ilusões da totalidade" envolvidas tanto na experiência artística com na histórica, juntamente com sua qualidade essencialmente imaginária.

Se revisan los casos de la organización académica, la organización multicampus, el sistema de gobierno y de gestión, los rasgos del personal académico y el desarrollo de la carrera académica, y el sindicalismo. Los autores se proponen analizar estos rasgos pues caracterizan el proyecto UAM, pero también constituyen aportaciones que ese proyecto institucional incorporó en el sistema de educación superior mexicano.AbstractThe authors of this article propose a comparative exercise involving some initial features that characterized the original project of the Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana with its present characteristics. We review the academic organization cases, the multi-campus organization, the government and management systems, the traits of the academic personnel and the development of the academic career, and unionism. The authors propose to analyze these features since they characterize the UAM's project, but also they are contributions that said institutional project incorporated into the Mexican system of higher education.
PISA sin prisa
Authors: Vaca Uribe Dr. Jorge
Published: September 2018

En este ensayo nos proponemos expresar algunas reflexiones que giran en torno a las siguientes preguntas: ¿Puede, una sociedad de tradición oral aún muy vigente en la vida cotidiana, obtener globalmente puntajes elevados en las pruebas PISA? ¿Es la lectura una habilidad (o un conjunto de habilidades) o conviene, más heurísticamente, concebirla como una actividad? ¿Es objetivamente evaluable la “habilidad” de lectura? Alrededor de estas preguntas se discuten algunas características de la sociedad mexicana ligadas a características específicas de la prueba PISA, de diseño “eurocéntrico”; se discute la concepción de lectura subyacente a la elaboración de las pruebas y se analizan algunos ejemplos de textos y de reactivos, usados en el año 2000 en México, que nos señalan que es imprescindible comenzar a hacer, en profundidad, estudios que ubiquen en su justa dimensión los resultados mexicanos. Finalmente, se justifica por qué es importante orientar los recursos económicos a los lugares prioritarios del sistema educativo: escuelas, maestros y bibliotecas y no a seguir engrosando las filas de las burocracias educativas centrales.AbstractIn this essay we intend to express some reflections concerning the following questions: Can a society with an oral tradition that is still very present in daily life globally obtain high marks in the PISA tests? Is reading a skill (or a set of skills) or should we conveniently and heuristically, conceive it as an activity? Can the reading “skill” be objectively evaluated? In relation to these questions some aspects of Mexican society and linked to specific characteristics of the PISA test, which is of “Eurocentric” design, are discussed. We discuss the conception of reading underlying the elaboration of the tests, and we analyze some examples of texts and items used in Mexico in the year 2000 which point out that it is essential to begin a profound study in order to evaluate the Mexican results fairly. Finally, we justify why it is important to direct economic resources to the priorities of our educational system: schools, teachers and libraries, rather than swelling the central educative bureaucratic ranks.
Cambio organizacional y disciplinario en México
Authors: Oliver Villalobos Lorena
Published: September 2018

En los años noventa, la Educación Superior sufrió cambios organizacionales y estructurales, adquiriendo un mayor auge el desarrollo de la ciencia y la tecnología. Conocer los diferentes modelos de operación en la educación superior nos permite tener en cuenta cómo ha sido el proceso de cambio, y la dificultad que implica romper con las estructuras tradicionales e individualistas que la han permeado a través de su desarrollo histórico. El libro reseñado permite visualizar las debilidades a las que se enfrenta el desarrollo científico en México; los pros y los contras de las políticas que se han desarrollado en torno a las Instituciones de Educación Superior (IES); el cambio en la concepción del papel del investigador; la importancia del trabajo colegiado y de dar a conocer resultados; también nos permite comprender las dificultades que imperan en los mecanismos institucionales que no permite fortalecer los espacios colegiados.AbstractIn the 90's, the higher education system underwent organizational and structural changes, with emphasis on the development of science and technology. If we know the different operating models of higher education, it will allow us to consider how the process of change has taken place, as well as the difficulty of breaking with traditional and individualistic structures that have been present all along its historical development. The book described permits us to visualize the weaknesses of Mexican scientific development, the pros and cons of the policies developed around the Institutions of Higher Education (IHES), the change in the conception of the researcher's role, the importance of collegiate work and of making the results known. It also allows us to understand the difficulties that prevail in the institutional mechanisms and do not permit the strengthening of collegiate work.
Prólogo de la obra de Jacqueline Bideaud [Lógica y bricolaje en el niño]
Authors: Gréco Pierre
Published: September 2018

En 1988 Pierre Gréco se dio a la difícil tarea de prologar el libro de Jacqueline Bideaud que en español se traduciría como Lógica y bricolaje en el niño y obtuvo como resultado este rico texto donde no sólo presenta y elogia el trabajo de la autora sino que además cuestiona, discute, razona y hace razonar acerca de los sistemas de significaciones y de las estructuras con el humor, ironía y fineza del lenguaje que lo caracterizan. En un papel crítico frente a Piaget (de quien fue un colaborador distinguido por él mismo) propone un modelo de funcionamiento cognitivo del sujeto que permita explicar los desfasamientos (decalages) apoyando la tesis de Jacqueline Bideaud.
El tiempo en clases de ciencias: Tránsito de primaria a secundaria
Authors: De la Riva Mtra. María , Candela Martín Dra. Antonia
Published: September 2018

Este artículo es un estudio etnográfico que tiene como propósito analizar a qué cambios se enfrentan los alumnos y cómo perciben las diferencias en el manejo del tiempo entre las clases de ciencias de un grupo de sexto de primaria y las clases de Introducción a la Física y a la Química y de Biología de primero de secundaria. Durante las clases de secundaria los maestros establecen secuencias de contenidos, tareas y formas de participación distintas de las de primaria. Estas secuencias están ubicadas en espacios y tiempos determinados que producen modificaciones en las formas de participación corporal, representacional y verbal de los alumnos. La capacidad de moverse en el tiempo y el espacio de una cierta estructura escolar es una de las manifestaciones del aprendizaje de los alumnos y de las condiciones para que ellos puedan concentrarse en la apropiación del contenido académico, y por ello es relevante su estudio.AbstractThis article is an ethnographic study that aims to analyse what changes students face and how they perceive the differences intimem management between the science classes of a sixth grade primary school groupand the classes of Introduction to Physics, Chemistry and Biology of a first grade of secondary school. During the secondary school classes, teachers establish sequences of contents, tasks, and forms of participation different from those of primary. These sequences are located in space and certain times that produce modifications in the forms of corporal, representational, and verbal participation of the students. The abilityto move in time and space of a certain school structure is one of the manifestations of student learning (Nespor, 1994) and the conditions for them to focus the appropriation of the academic content, and is therefore relevant study.Recibido: 30 de octubre de 2009 Aceptado: 21 de febrero de 2010

A principios del siglo XXI, la realidad latinoamericana manifiesta una problemática social que aún no logra resolver: el analfabetismo en adultos. Saber leer y escribir es una herramienta básica para la participación social y la formación de una conciencia crítica en los ciudadanos. El programa de alfabetización de origen cubano “Yo, sí puedo”, a través de videos y cartillas didácticas, cumple efectivamente con las condiciones exigidas por la “educación para adultos”. Sin embargo, la aplicación de esta novedosa metodología depende de la disposición de los gobiernos nacionales, lo que quedó reflejado en dos casos particulares: Argentina y Bolivia.AbstractIn the early twenty-first century, Latin American reality shows a social problem that still has not been solved: adult illiteracy. Being literate is a basic tool for social participation and the formation of a critical consciousness in people. The Cuban literacy program “Yo, sí puedo” (“Yes, I Can”), through educational videos and booklets, effectively meets with the conditions of “adult education”. However, the application of this novel methodology depends on the willingness of national governments, which is here reflected in two particular cases: Argentina and Bolivia.Recibido: 7 de septiembre de 2010 Aceptado: 24 de octubre de 2010

Reforma universitaria en Venezuela: ¿Pertinencia o vinculación social?
Authors: Morales Villalobos Dra. Eduviges , Muñoz Núñez Dra. Ingrid , Hernández León Mairely
Published: September 2018

La promulgación de la Constitución de la República Bolivariana de Venezuela (1999), supone transformaciones radicales en la concepción del Estado Venezolano, en todas sus instancias, lo cual determina una profunda revisión de todas las políticas públicas del Estado, de la cual no escapa la cuestión de la educación superior. Uno de los puntos más importantes de la reforma del marco normativo de este nivel de educación, es lo atinente a la vinculación de las universidades con el entorno en el cual ejercen su actividad académica. La metodología empleada es descriptiva, fundamentada en una amplia revisión documental. Se pretende que en las reformas cumplidas y en los anteproyectos discutidos o en discusión, la noción de “vinculación social” sea comprendida en los términos relacionados (actividad académica- necesidades o demandas-acción reflexiva-construcción de alternativas) la cual vigoriza la idea de “vinculación social” al fortalecer la pertinencia institucional y la legitimidad de las instituciones de educación superior.AbstractThe promulgation of the Constitution of the Republic Bolivariana of Venezuela (1999), supposes radical transformations in the conception of the Venezuelan State, in all his instances which determines a deep review of all the public policies of the State of which there does not escape the question of the top education. One of the most important points of the reform of the normative frame of this level of education is the relating thing to the entail of the universities with the environment in which they exercise his academic activity. The used methodology is descriptive based on a wide documentary review. There is claimed that in the fulfilled reforms and in the controversial preliminary designs or in discussion the notion of “ social entail “, there is understood in the related terms (academic activity - needs or demands - reflexive action - construction of alternatives) who invigorates the idea of “ Social Entail “ on having strengthened the institutional relevancy and the legitimacy of the institutions of top education.Recibido: 28 de junio de 2011Aceptado: 03 de octubre de 2011
Lo que el historiador enseñante sabe y hace: Identificando habilidades docentes en practicantes de la Licenciatura en Historia
Authors: Gómez Bonilla Dr. Edgar
Published: September 2018

El concepto “historiar” se traduce como “investigar”; esta es la explicación del por qué al historiador se le forma para la investigación histórica, aunque el escenario laboral y las oportunidades de contratación son otras, ya que sólo unos cuantos se incorporan en la actividad investigadora. El resto de los historiadores termina ejerciendo el rol de maestro en secundaria y/o bachillerato con conocimientos limitados sobre lo que implica la docencia, evidenciando dificultades para ejercer una labor pertinente, ya que la práctica descansa en una enseñanza rutinaria y tradicional. La presente investigación identifica las habilidades que los estudiantes de la Licenciatura en Historia, de la Benemérita Universidad Autónoma de Puebla (BUAP), desarrollan en su práctica de la enseñanza desde la asignatura Práctica docente. El estudio es correlacional porque analiza la vinculación entre las dimensiones didáctica, disciplinaria, de contexto y estratégica en el periodo otoño 2007-primavera 2010. Estas dimensiones en su conjunto definen la actitud profesionalizante del historiador-enseñante y le permiten ser un individuo competente en el ámbito laboral, teniendo oportunidades tanto en la docencia, como en la investigación histórica, puesto que ambas líneas terminales están vinculadas permanentemente.AbstractThe concept of “narrating history” translates as “researching”, this is the explanation of why the historian gets a training in historical research, although the labour stage and recruitment opportunities are others, when only a few of them are included in research activities. The rest of historians end up assuming the role of teachers in secondary or high schools, with limited knowledge of what teaching implies, evidencing the difficulties to exercise a relevant work, since their practice rests on routine and traditional teaching. This research identifies the skills that students for the degree course in History of the ‘Benemérita Universidad Autónoma de Puebla’ (BUAP), put into action on their teaching duties from the subject: Teaching practice. The study is correlational (Hernández 2006:104-107) because it analyses the link between didactical, disciplinary, contextual and strategic dimensions, and has been carried out between autumn 2007 and spring 2010. These dimensions all together define the professional attitude of the historian-teacher and allow him/her to be a competent individual in the employment context, taking opportunities in teaching, without overlooking their training oriented towards historical research, because both terminal lines are linked permanently.
