Working with local heritage from documentary historical sources. Didactic proposal for the Spanish northwest from the perceptions of the students.

Patricia Suárez Álvarez, Roberto García-Morís — Wed, 27 Dec 2023 00:00:00 +0000

The aim of this paper is describe a transfer proposal of local history starting from students perceptions . Through an example applied to the north of Spain, specifically to the council of Carreño (Asturias, Spain), which was investigated from the historical point of view, a didactic transfer was proposed that starts from the study of school representations on the immediate environment. In the proposal, historical school knowledge is problematized through the use of documentary sources that give visibility to spaces, themes and people, traditionally made invisible by school history, but which have been part of social history or women's history for a long time. The chosen case has allowed us to identify useful local sources for this task, generating a proposal aligned with the new Spanish curricular framework.

Emotional intelligence directly influences individual´s personal development and could influence entrepreneurship skills as well. The objectives of this study were to assess the construct validity, internal consistency, and metric invariance of the Spanish version of the Wong and Law Emotional Intelligence Scale (WLEIS-S), and the Entrepreneurial Attitudes Scale for Students (EASS) and correlate the levels of emotional intelligence and entrepreneurship in a sample of university students (n=558). The validity, reliability, and invariance analysis reveal adequate goodness of fit, internal consistency and equivalence. In addition, statistically significant correlations were found between all dimensions of the scales. The Entrepreneurship and Emotional Intelligence Scales have adequate psychometric properties. In professional training, emotional intelligence acts as a decision-making ability and entrepreneurial capacity as a factor for future development.

The subject of History of Art in university studies under the gender perspective. Analysis and proposals.

Sofía Ángela Albero Verdú — Wed, 27 Dec 2023 00:00:00 +0000

Art history education in the university context continues transmitting the same obvious sexist bias that permeates the discipline even today. In order to recover the erased memory of women artists and problematizing their absence/presence in history, this paper analyzes the current situation of the basic subject History of Art taught in different levels of the Faculty of Philosophy and Letters of the University of Alicante. Likewise, opportunities are identified for the introduction of a gender perspective in the subject that makes it possible to adapt the educational resources to the current social and academic reality. Finally, a proposal for the application of the gender perspective is presented, carried out during the 2022/23 academic year, which focuses its efforts on those areas that are most difficult to modify in practice: the contents and bibliography of the subject.

Gabriel Tenesaca Guzmán, Isabel Gil Gesto — Wed, 27 Dec 2023 00:00:00 +0000

The article analyzes the readjustments of the care system that take place within Ecuadorian transnational families living circular and return migration processes in the rural parish of Victoria del Portete (Azuay, Ecuador). Using a qualitative methodology and in-depth interviews with adolescents, children of migrants between 15 and 18 years of age, we study how the reorganization of care activities in contexts of migratory circularity implies not only an overload of work, but also the perpetuation and exacerbation of gender inequality. The research findings show how this transfer of care falls on the older daughters of nuclear families, in many cases still adolescents, who also assume productive roles, causing early adulthood processes that reinforce traditional gender mandates and roles.

This article presents an analysis of the socioeconomic conditions that characterize the current restituted population of the emblematic hacienda Santa Paula, which belonged to Clan Castaño, the visible head of the United Self-Defense Forces of Colombia (AUC). The study was structured in two sections; the first, through a historical synthesis, shows the context of the internal armed conflict in the department of Córdoba (Colombia); where the actions of the Illegal Armed Groups (GAI) break the social order, committing all kinds of humiliation against the communities; they are forced to leave their premises by acts of dispossession and displacement. The second section, describes the process of return and post-judgment based on Law 1448 of 2011. In Santa Paula, after the post-judgment, the returnees have joined state entities to train in different socio-economic projects. Therefore, the development of the research was carried out from a scrutineering glance at the official information of the Land Restitution Unit (URT) Section Córdoba, through the review and analysis of sentences, timelines and social cartography.

The lightened clay and straw plank is a constructive practice that Andean communities have traditionally used in the ceilings of their homes. Depending on its geographical location, it is called by different names such as "caruna, takta, t'ajta, p'ira, t'illi" and uses the earth and straw from its altiplanic environment in its preparation. At the moment it suffers the risk of disappearance, product of the sociocultural processes lived in the territory during the last 50 years. This article describes the actions to rescue and value the system, through a technological research project with field and laboratory methodology in the region of Arica and Parinacota, in northern Chile. The results obtained through this research have allowed the mechanical and physical characterization of the system, the findings have been contrasted with the principles of safeguarding to assess its potential for recognition in the national system of safeguarding Intangible Heritage.

WebQuest as a formative assessment method for higher education

Wed, 27 Dec 2023 00:00:00 +0000

Assessment has emerged as a frequent subject of didactic debate and concern across various facets of the academic realm, while the WebQuest presents itself as an active learning tool fostering competencies in autonomous, collaborative, and digital learning. The aim of this research was to establish the effectiveness of the WebQuest as a formative assessment tool in higher education. A field study was conducted, involving a sample of 104 students from the National University of Chimborazo (UNACH) during the 2023-1s semester, utilizing a mixed-methods approach with a descriptive and cross-sectional scope. It was verified that the WebQuest proves to be an efficacious method for evaluating the ability to engage with conceptual content, practical skills, and student attitudes. This provides a comprehensive formative assessment that gauges not only theoretical knowledge but also real-world applicability.
