Avances recientes en el estudio de las necesidades formativas en el ámbito organizacional

Quartes Jornades de Foment de la Investigació de la FCHS (Any 1998-1999)La realización de un cuidadoso análisis de necesidades es de suma importancia y debería realizarse antes del desarrollo de cualquier programa de formación en la empresa (McGehee y Thayer, 1961; Wexley y Latham, 1981; Goldstein, 1986, 1991, 1993; Tannenbaum y Yukl, 1992; Bee y Bee, 1994; Ford y Kraiger, 1995; Taylor y otros, 1998). Sin embargo, son pocas las empresas que realizan un análisis de necesidades formativas desde planteamientos sistemáticos y rigurosos (Saari y otros, 1988; Taylor y otros, 1998). Además, los planteamientos tradicionales sobre necesidades formativas han conducido los análisis desde una concepción de necesidad como déficit. Ahora bien, los continuos cambios tecnológicos, socioeconómicos y políticos están exigiendo que en un futuro se amplíe el concepto de necesidad formativa, para que la formación que surja del análisis de necesidades formativas no sólo permita corregir deficiencias formativas actuales del trabajador, sino que también permita afrontar más adecuadamente los cambios futuros que pueden darse en el puesto de trabajo. En este marco, se plantea este trabajo cuyo objetivo es ofrecer una perspectiva general de la literatura sobre análisis de necesidades formativas, tanto desde el enfoque clásico centrado en el déficit, como desde un enfoque más innovador donde hay una ausencia de déficit en el presente

How are perceived the current women and men? A study about gender stereotypes and sexism among university students

11th International Technology, Education and Development Conference ProceedingsThe massive incorporation of women into the educational system and the labour market in the last decades could lead us misleadingly to see the reality in a very optimistic way. The reality is that women, despite their excellent qualifications comparable to that of men, are still in a discriminatory situation in comparison to men. Growing literature analyses the underlying processes to shed light to this problem, and the explanations that has received the most attention from researchers are the existence of gender stereotypes and sexist attitudes in our society. People associate communal qualities (e.g., nice, compassionate) with women, while agentic qualities (e.g., assertive, competitive) are more linked to men, which precisely are considered as requirements for success in labour world. The aim of this study is to analyse whether there are differences in how men and women are perceived (i.e., which are their characteristic traits) and to explore the possible effect of sexism on these perceptions. The sample is composed of 200 Spanish university students (n = 110 men and n = 90 women). The results show that there are significant differences in how women and men in general are perceived in terms of their characteristic traits nowadays. In the majority of the attributes, women in general are perceived in a feminine way, while men are viewed in a masculine way, in accordance to gender stereotypes. In addition, there are some statistical differences in these perceptions in function of the degree of sexist attitudes among the participants. In particular, those students who scored lower in sexism attribute some typical masculine traits to women. On the contrary, those students who scored higher in sexism attribute typical feminine traits to women. In the case of perceptions about men, the students who scored lower in sexism attribute one typical feminine trait to men, while those students who scored higher in sexism attribute typical masculine traits to men. It is interesting to highlight that perceptions about women are less favourably than the perceptions about men. Those findings suggest the important weight of gender stereotypes and the prejudice against women in our society. The implications of the results for education, university teaching-learning process, future research guidelines, and limitations of the study are also discussed

Análisis cinemático de robots manipuladores redundantes: Aplicación a los robots Kuka LWR 4+ y ABB Yumi

En este trabajo se presenta un análisis cinemático aplicado a dos manipuladores serie redundantes: el Kuka LWR 4+ y el ABB Yumi. En particular, se deriva la cinemática directa para ambos manipuladores y se resuelve el problema de la cinemática inversa. Para el Kuka LWR 4+ dicha solución se obtiene en forma analítica, mientras que para el ABB Yumi se sigue un enfoque analítico y numérico. Además, se calculan simbólicamente tanto las singularidades del Kuka LWR 4+ como las direcciones singulares asociadas a éstas. Este estudio contribuye al conocimiento cinemático de dos manipuladores redundantes de gran actualidad e interés para la comunidad robótica, y proporciona información útil para el diseño de diferentes algoritmos y leyes de control.Postprint (author's final draft

Teleoperating a mobile manipulator and a free-flying camera from a single haptic device

The proposed decoupled position and orientation workspace mapping allows the teleoperation from a single haptic device with bounded workspace of a complex robot with unbounded workspace. When the operator is reaching the position and orientation boundaries of the haptic workspace, linear and angular velocity components are respectively added to the inputs of the mobile manipulator and the flying camera. A user study on a virtual environment has been conducted to evaluate the performance and the workload on the user before and after proper training. Analysis on the data shows that the system complexity is not an obstacle for an efficient performance. This is a first step towards the implementation of a teleoperation system with a real mobile manipulator and a low-cost quadrotor as the free-flying camera.Accepted versio

Centre d'Educació Especial Auxilia. Un model d'atenció acadèmica domiciliària

This article describes a pioneering experience in education - Auxilia Centre for Special Education. This centre provides continuity for the education of children affected by physical disabilities, chronic illness or psychiatric illness and who, because of their illness, are forced to stay at home for certain periods without being able to assume standardized travel to the school at which they are enrolled. The Centre gives them personal and individualized academic service at home to enable their development
