Some approaches to human world

This work – and its referent, the book: El Salto Humano en el Cosmos (The human leap in the Cosmos) – is about the human being; the human world in its own space-time and in the universe. It is the being that performs a unique cosmic leap, a human blooming; a lighthouse of life. Humanity is singular specie, with values, senses and discoveries; without hiding their falls and nonsense, struggling tirelessly. They construct world and their own worlds. And they also use their exclusive ability to criticize and blame themselves because of their mistakes; as their value codes, ideas and beliefs reveal. And in this crucial state of habitat, history and human projection is not noticed enough. On the contrary, it is darkened, it becomes usual and common. So, we have to uncover, as it was affirmed by philosophy as well as from the science through many discoveries and achievements. Consequently, a theory comprehensive enough to better know what have been done, the continuous creations and the appropriate improvements are needed. Here we are summarizing the book mentioned below and the theory-practice that explains the dimensions and perspectives of the human world and its cosmic leap. Based on research and analysis eight-n dimensions considered essential have been selected: language – symbol – biology – nature – individual – society – rule – power. To which n additional dimensions are added. This set opens human freedom among many characteristics that enrich this path. Then, sciences, mathematics, philosophy, technology, art, customs, practices – specific and intertwine - perform a world and a singular and multiple human being, who leaps tirelessly in the cosmos. This is a conceptual and operational proposal which allows a better approach to this issue. The human being is an exception in the universe, even when there are other beings, because there is an existential platform that projects him to the infinite.Facultad de Psicologí

Del pensamiento a la práctica decolonial

Entre los muchos «giros de las últimas décadas, el denominado «decolonial» es quizás el más abarcador y al mismo tiempo más ambicioso. Abarcador, porque integra y a la vez inflexiona perspectivas y métodos precedentes; ambicioso, porque su objetivo es no solo cambiar las «reglas del juego» del conocimiento, sino también fomentar la recuperación de otras subjetividades, silenciadas bajo el peso de la Modernidad.  ¿Qué significa entonces «integrar» las críticas y prácticas decoloniales tanto en la constitución de islas de lectura, como en la manera en qué leemos los textos, incluyendo a los «clásicos»?  Este ensayo parte de esta pregunta para indagar sobre los modos de implementación de los objetivos decoloniales, no solo repasando sus principales propuestas teóricas, sino acercándose también a algunas prácticas concretas que intentan influir sobre todo el conocimiento, reorientar la relación entre saberes y poderes, y modificar tanto la constitución de diferentes cánones y bibliografías como el estatus jerárquico de los mismos. El alcance de estas prácticas decoloniales, como trataremos de mostrar, hace que más allá de las críticas acertadas a este nuevo giro, se haga difícil descartarlo completamente y que, incluso, sea provechoso integrarlo, también en nuestro quehacer universitario

Bibliothèque quatrième lieu, espace physique et/ou en ligne d\u27apprentissage social (La)

La bibliothèque quatrième lieu physique est « une communauté d’études, sous-sol et garage où l’apprentissage, l’activité (faire) et la conversation se croisent. Et comme les personnes y vont et viennent, il y a la possibilité d’y transférer la connaissance aussi bien que celle de construire sur ce que les autres sont capables de mettre en contribution. C’est un lieu où la seule règle est «apprendre» (« Maurice Coleman’s biweekly T is for Training podcast »)« . La bibliothèque quatrième lieu en ligne, ancrée dans la connexion numérique et la représentation permises par les TIC, est accessible par l’ensemble des terminaux numériques existants : ordinateurs, tablettes, téléphones mobiles, consoles de jeux, … Elle n’est pas une réplique, un miroir de la bibliothèque physique mais s’en éloigne volontairement pour proposer l’accès à d’autre espaces. Elle repose fondamentalement sur l’aide à la constitution et l’accompagnement de plusieurs types de communautés numériques : d’apprentissage, de pratique, d’intérêt, de construction de connaissances, de recherche

Counselors' education in complex contexts with special reference to Latin America

This paper makes reference to the importance lying, at present, on the professional education of counselors. It goes through the history of the different pre-scientific and scientific stages of counseling, and it points out the main representatives in Latin America . It also shows the current state of the specialization, taking as an antecedent some in-depth, widely encompassing research carried out in the European Union in this area. Coincidences and differences are exposed here in terms of professional profiles, university degrees, institutional dependence, up-dating processes and modes of intervention. The current state of postgraduate studies at university is also touched upon, and the different proposals for further education in Latin America are analyzed as well as their dependence upon an undergraduate degree in Psychology, Educational Sciences or Psycho-pedagogy. Finally, this paper places counseling within the complexity and the need to provide all-encompassing and integrative answers which require a wide and deep enough education so as to answer all these issues and problems.Facultad de Psicologí
