Doctorados virtuales centroamericanos: educomunicación

Una amplia oferta de doctorados de calidad estimula una mayor producción de investigaciones y de nuevos conocimientos que aportan al desarrollo de la ciencia. En Centroamérica los programas de doctorados son reducidos a pesar de un aumento de la oferta de maestrías en las últimas décadas (más de 2000). Del total de postgra-dos, un 2% corresponde a doctorados y de estos, los programas virtuales apenas alcanzan un 2%. Los organismos responsables de la acreditación de la calidad de postgrados regionales no cuentan con modelos de evaluación específicos para la modalidad virtual. En este contexto, se realizó este estudio identifica los factores que garantizan la calidad de doctorados virtuales en los contextos centroamericanos y determina las áreas de formación de tutores en esta modalidad. Se aplicó una metodología cualitativa, método fenomenológico, con la técnica de entrevista enfocada. La muestra intencional se conformó con 40 docentes de postgrados virtuales de los países centroamericanos, alcanzando con esta el nivel de saturación de la información. Como conclusiones, se confirma que la calidad de un doctorado requiere asegurar factores que garantizan el desarrollo de competencias investigativas sólidas y la generación de conocimientos científicos originales, que contribuyan al avance de la ciencia, así como una adecuada comunicación entre tutores y estudiantes, que ofrece una formación educomunicativaA wide offer of quality doctorate degrees stimulates a greater production of research and new knowledge that contribute to the development of science. Virtual education can contribute to expanding this offer. However, in Central America, doc-toral degrees are limited, despite an increase in the offer of master’s degree programs in recent decades (more than 2000). Of the total of postgraduate degrees, 2% correspond to doctorate degrees programs and out of this amount, virtual programs barely reach a 2%. The bodies responsible for accrediting the quality of regional postgraduate courses do not have specific evaluation models for the virtual modality. In this context, this study was carried out to identify factors that guarantee the quality of virtual doctorate degrees in Central American contexts and determine areas of training for tutors in this modality of higher education. With a qualitative methodology, applying the phenom-enological method and the focused interview technique, an intentional non-probabil-istic sample was established with 40 virtual postgraduate teachers from the six Central American countries, reaching the level of information saturation. As a conclusion, it is confirmed that the quality of a doctorate degree requires ensuring factors that guar-antee the development of solid research skills and the generation of original scientific knowledge that could contribute to the advancement of science, among these, an ade-quate communication between tutors and students and an educommunication training.Ciencias de la ComunicaciónEducació

Políticas públicas y estrategias institucionales para el desarrollo e implementación de energías renovables en Argentina (2006-2016)

El objetivo de este trabajo es analizar las principales políticas de promoción para el desarrollo e adopción de las ER implementadas en Argentina en los últimos 10 años. Para ello se propone un abordaje teórico-metodológico socio-técnico que supere las visiones tradicionales estrictamente técnicas o económicas. Para ello se presentan, en primer lugar, la propuesta teórico-metodológica analizar las políticas y estrategias institucionales impulsadas en Argentina para el desarrollo e implementación de ER. A continuación se presenta un resumen de las diferentes experiencias, proyectos y políticas en Argentina a escala nacional, provincial y nacional-provincial, y finalmente se concluye con algunas observaciones acerca del proceso de construcción de funcionamiento de las mismas.The aim of this paper is analyze the public policies to promote the development and adoption of renewable energies implemented in Argentina in the last 10 years. This requires a theoretical and methodological approach that overcomes traditional views strictly technical or economical. In this work we show, in first place, the theoretical and methodological proposal to analyze the policies and strategies driven in Argentina for the development and implementation of renewable energies. Secondly, a summary of different experiences, projects and policies in Argentina at the national, provincial and national-provincial level is presented, and finally we concludes with some observations about the working/no working construction processes.Asociación Argentina de Energías Renovables y Medio Ambiente (ASADES

Mirar, escuchar, interpretar: crónica y reflexiones sobre el observatorio de medios en las elecciones presidenciales de 2009

El domingo 15 de marzo de 2009 más de dos mil observadores nacionales se desplazan hacia los centros de votación para registrar el proceso de elecciones presidenciales en El Salvador. En la sede la Universidad Centroamericana José Simeón Cañas, un grupo de veinticinco voluntarios disponen televisores, radios y computadoras, prueban sonidos de grabadores y afilan lápices para llevar a cabo un monitoreo de los principales medios de comunicación que en el transcurso del día darán cobertura a las elecciones. Una consigna alienta el trabajo de todo este equipo que se mueve con la precisión de una orquesta: documentar, dejar constancia de lo que se transmita. El proceso de observación de medios, el día de las elecciones, es inédito. Ya el domingo 18 de enero, la observación del proceso de elecciones municipales y legislativas puso a la vista ciertas irregularidades

"Oh, and Now Who Can Help Us?" COVID-19 and Higher Education in El Salvador

To flatten the COVID-19 mortality curve in El Salvador, borders were closed, mandatory quarantine was implemented, and face-to-face classes were suspended at all levels of education. With the rapid implementation of these measures, higher education institutions (HEIs) had very little time to prepare different support strategies to keep going with the development of the classes. The greatest challenges were evidenced by the face-to-face career subjects since faculty and students did not have any previous experience or training in virtual education. This qualitative study identifies some demands and difficulties expressed by university students during this period. Contingency strategies are being shared, which the Salvadoran HEIs have implemented to support the faculty and the students of the different careers of the university. They pose challenges to rethink both virtual education at the higher level and teacher training and to acknowledge both the contributions of media literacy and the maintenance of an educational gaze, during and after the pandemic. This is not a bet to implement a distance education program, but a closer virtual education program
