Teaching perception in managing strategies facing motivation and frustration in math class

Tesis (Psicopedagoga, Licenciada en Educación)El presente estudio tiene como propósito conocer la percepción docente sobre el manejo de estrategias para enfrentar la motivación y frustración de sus alumnos en la asignatura de matemática. Es una investigación cualitativa que parte del análisis de entrevistas profundas, las cuales serán contrastadas con información del marco teórico, realizadas a una muestra de 16 docentes que se desempeñan en colegios particulares, subvencionados, corporación educativa y municipalizados. En este artículo se identifican y ejemplifican situaciones en que los docentes perciben la motivación y frustración de sus alumnos, diferenciando las estrategias que utilizan para manejar cada caso. Los resultados obtenidos detallan desde la perspectiva docente la valoración de su carrera, junto a las características fundamentales para ser un buen profesor. Además, esta investigación distingue aquellos profesionales que reciben en su formación de pregrado enseñanza sobre estrategias de motivación y frustración. El posible beneficio de esta investigación en relación a la psicopedagogía es aportar al trabajo colaborativo mediante el intercambio y variación del uso de estrategias, seleccionando en conjunto aquellas más atingentes al contexto en el cual se encuentran, de esta forma se contribuye a la mejora en el diálogo profesor-alumno y al buen clima educativo en el aula.The objective of this study is to know the teaching perception on the management of strategies facing motivation and frustration of its students in mathematics. It is a qualitative research that starts from the analysis of interviews in a deep level, which will be contrast with biological information of a group of 16 educators that work in private, municipals, subsidized and corporate schools. On this article you can identify and exemplify situations on which teachers perceive the motivation and frustration of their students, differencing which strategies they use for each case. The results obtained detail, from the teacher’s perspective, the value of their career, with the fundamental characteristics to be a good teacher. Also, these investigation distinguishes those professionals that receive on their under grad learnings about strategies of motivation and frustration. The possible benefit of these investigation is to contribute educational professionals on the variety of strategies usage, selecting the ones that are more valuable depending of the context on which they are, in this way it contributes to the improvement on the teacher – student dialogue and to the school climate

The LHCb upgrade I

International audienceThe LHCb upgrade represents a major change of the experiment. The detectors have been almost completely renewed to allow running at an instantaneous luminosity five times larger than that of the previous running periods. Readout of all detectors into an all-software trigger is central to the new design, facilitating the reconstruction of events at the maximum LHC interaction rate, and their selection in real time. The experiment's tracking system has been completely upgraded with a new pixel vertex detector, a silicon tracker upstream of the dipole magnet and three scintillating fibre tracking stations downstream of the magnet. The whole photon detection system of the RICH detectors has been renewed and the readout electronics of the calorimeter and muon systems have been fully overhauled. The first stage of the all-software trigger is implemented on a GPU farm. The output of the trigger provides a combination of totally reconstructed physics objects, such as tracks and vertices, ready for final analysis, and of entire events which need further offline reprocessing. This scheme required a complete revision of the computing model and rewriting of the experiment's software

Management of coronary disease in patients with advanced kidney disease

BACKGROUND Clinical trials that have assessed the effect of revascularization in patients with stable coronary disease have routinely excluded those with advanced chronic kidney disease. METHODS We randomly assigned 777 patients with advanced kidney disease and moderate or severe ischemia on stress testing to be treated with an initial invasive strategy consisting of coronary angiography and revascularization (if appropriate) added to medical therapy or an initial conservative strategy consisting of medical therapy alone and angiography reserved for those in whom medical therapy had failed. The primary outcome was a composite of death or nonfatal myocardial infarction. A key secondary outcome was a composite of death, nonfatal myocardial infarction, or hospitalization for unstable angina, heart failure, or resuscitated cardiac arrest. RESULTS At a median follow-up of 2.2 years, a primary outcome event had occurred in 123 patients in the invasive-strategy group and in 129 patients in the conservative-strategy group (estimated 3-year event rate, 36.4% vs. 36.7%; adjusted hazard ratio, 1.01; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.79 to 1.29; P=0.95). Results for the key secondary outcome were similar (38.5% vs. 39.7%; hazard ratio, 1.01; 95% CI, 0.79 to 1.29). The invasive strategy was associated with a higher incidence of stroke than the conservative strategy (hazard ratio, 3.76; 95% CI, 1.52 to 9.32; P=0.004) and with a higher incidence of death or initiation of dialysis (hazard ratio, 1.48; 95% CI, 1.04 to 2.11; P=0.03). CONCLUSIONS Among patients with stable coronary disease, advanced chronic kidney disease, and moderate or severe ischemia, we did not find evidence that an initial invasive strategy, as compared with an initial conservative strategy, reduced the risk of death or nonfatal myocardial infarction

Health status after invasive or conservative care in coronary and advanced kidney disease

BACKGROUND In the ISCHEMIA-CKD trial, the primary analysis showed no significant difference in the risk of death or myocardial infarction with initial angiography and revascularization plus guideline-based medical therapy (invasive strategy) as compared with guideline-based medical therapy alone (conservative strategy) in participants with stable ischemic heart disease, moderate or severe ischemia, and advanced chronic kidney disease (an estimated glomerular filtration rate of <30 ml per minute per 1.73 m2 or receipt of dialysis). A secondary objective of the trial was to assess angina-related health status. METHODS We assessed health status with the Seattle Angina Questionnaire (SAQ) before randomization and at 1.5, 3, and 6 months and every 6 months thereafter. The primary outcome of this analysis was the SAQ Summary score (ranging from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating less frequent angina and better function and quality of life). Mixed-effects cumulative probability models within a Bayesian framework were used to estimate the treatment effect with the invasive strategy. RESULTS Health status was assessed in 705 of 777 participants. Nearly half the participants (49%) had had no angina during the month before randomization. At 3 months, the estimated mean difference between the invasive-strategy group and the conservative-strategy group in the SAQ Summary score was 2.1 points (95% credible interval, 120.4 to 4.6), a result that favored the invasive strategy. The mean difference in score at 3 months was largest among participants with daily or weekly angina at baseline (10.1 points; 95% credible interval, 0.0 to 19.9), smaller among those with monthly angina at baseline (2.2 points; 95% credible interval, 122.0 to 6.2), and nearly absent among those without angina at baseline (0.6 points; 95% credible interval, 121.9 to 3.3). By 6 months, the between-group difference in the overall trial population was attenuated (0.5 points; 95% credible interval, 122.2 to 3.4). CONCLUSIONS Participants with stable ischemic heart disease, moderate or severe ischemia, and advanced chronic kidney disease did not have substantial or sustained benefits with regard to angina-related health status with an initially invasive strategy as compared with a conservative strategy
