Construcción y validación de un cuestionario sobre la gestión de los directores en la educación en ciudadanía

El presente artículo expone los resultados de una investigación de procesos metodológicos y fundamentos teóricos que permitieron la construcción y la validación de un cuestionario sobre los estilos de gestión del liderazgo de directores en educación para la ciudadanía en las comunidades escolares a partir de la percepción de los docentes. El itinerario de este artículo comienza con la denición de los tipos de liderazgo educativo y las categorías conceptuales que subyacen al denso y complejo constructo de ciudadanía y democracia en la escuela. La relevancia por contar con un instrumento que mida e identique un mapa de tendencias respecto del vínculo entre tipos de liderazgo y percepciones docentes de la democracia y la ciudadanía en la escuela son ejes fundamentales para la toma de decisiones en la política educativa y para hacer de la educación ciudadana una realidad en la vida escolar.&nbsp

Creencias del estudiante en formación inicial sobre la forma de enseñar la adición

Los estudiantes en Formación Inicial Docente tienen creencias sobre la forma de enseñar la adición, las cuales son producto de su formación escolar, esto se debe a sus propias experiencias en las metodologías utilizadas durante su aprendizaje. En su formación inicial se replantean o reafirman sus creencias sobre cómo aprender la adición, debido a las competencias que adquieren sobre el conocimiento matemático y didáctico. El objetivo de este trabajo es presentar un proyecto en curso que nos dé cuenta sobre las creencias que poseen los estudiantes conforme a cómo enseñar y aprender la adición, ya sean creencias propias de su experiencia de vida y también aquellas que se encuentran erróneas. Se realizará una investigación descriptiva, no experimental y con enfoque mixto

A new antigen retrieval technique for human brain tissue.

Immunohistochemical staining of tissues is a powerful tool used to delineate the presence or absence of an antigen. During the last 30 years, antigen visualization in human brain tissue has been significantly limited by the masking effect of fixatives. In the present study, we have used a new method for antigen retrieval in formalin-fixed human brain tissue and examined the effectiveness of this protocol to reveal masked antigens in tissues with both short and long formalin fixation times. This new method, which is based on the use of citraconic acid, has not been previously utilized in brain tissue although it has been employed in various other tissues such as tonsil, ovary, skin, lymph node, stomach, breast, colon, lung and thymus. Thus, we reported here a novel method to carry out immunohistochemical studies in free-floating human brain sections. Since fixation of brain tissue specimens in formaldehyde is a commonly method used in brain banks, this new antigen retrieval method could facilitate immunohistochemical studies of brains with prolonged formalin fixation times
