La encrucijada de la incorporación escolar de los adolescentes de origen extranjero en Almería : ¿atisbos de cambio en los viejos retos?

Financiamiento. Famiglie Migranti: Interventi Locali di Inclusione Attiva (FAMILIA). Fondo Asilo Migrazione e Integrazione (FAMI) (2014-2020).La incorporación de los adolescentes de origen extranjero al sistema educativo español es uno de los retos que hubo que afrontar desde los primeros años de la inmigración a España. Sin embargo, a día de hoy, estos adolescentes continúan enfrentándose a las desventajas educativas derivadas de su origen social, de su posición social en destino y de la etnificación de la diferencia cultural. En este trabajo analizamos la situación del alumnado de origen extranjero, principalmente marroquí, en un contexto determinado por la agricultura intensiva, donde se emplea más de la mitad de los trabajadores extranjeros de Almería. Para ello, revisamos los retos clásicos para comprobar hasta qué punto están vigentes más de veinte años después. En el marco del proyecto FAMILIA, se realizaron 15 entrevistas en profundidad a docentes y profesionales de servicios sociales y asociaciones en junio de 2019. La investigación ha puesto de manifiesto que, pese a que el discurso culturalista todavía está vigente a la hora de explicar las desventajas educativas de este alumnado, emergen más voces críticas desde los propios docentes hacia la práctica educativa de aquellos que ejercen formas de discriminación hacia el alumnado y sus familias. Además, estos apuntan a la necesidad de mejorar la formación en interculturalidad tanto del profesorado como del personal administrativo.La incorporació dels adolescents d'origen estranger al sistema educatiu espanyol és un dels reptes que va caldre afrontar des dels primers anys de la immigració a Espanya. No obstant això, avui dia, aquests adolescents continuen enfrontant-se als desavantatges educatius derivats del seu origen social, de la seva posició social en destí i de la etnificación de la diferència cultural. En aquest treball analitzem la situació de l'alumnat d'origen estranger, principalment marroquí, en un context determinat per l'agricultura intensiva, on s'ocupa més de la meitat dels treballadors estrangers d'Almeria. Per a això, revisem els reptes clàssics per a comprovar fins a quin punt estan vigents més de vint anys després. En el marc del projecte FAMÍLIA, es van realitzar 15 entrevistes en profunditat a docents i professionals de serveis socials i associacions al juny de 2019. La recerca ha posat de manifest que, malgrat que el discurs culturalista encara està vigent a l'hora d'explicar els desavantatges educatius d'aquest alumnat, emergeixen més veus crítiques des dels propis docents cap a la pràctica educativa d'aquells que exerceixen formes de discriminació cap a l'alumnat i les seves famílies. A més, aquests apunten a la necessitat de millorar la formació en interculturalitat tant del professorat com del personal administratiu.The incorporation of adolescents of foreign origin into the Spanish educational system is one of the challenges that has had to be addressed since the early years of immigration to Spain. However, even today, these adolescents continue to face educational disadvantages arising from their social origin, their social position at their destination, and the ethnification of cultural difference. In this paper, we analyse the situation of students of foreign origin, particularly from Morocco, in a context shaped by intensive agriculture, in which more than half of Almería's foreign workers are employed. To do so, we look back at the historical challenges to see to what extent they are still present more than twenty years later. As part of the FAMILIA project, 15 in-depth interviews were conducted in June 2019 with teachers and social workers from social services and other organisations. The research showed that, despite the fact that a culturalist discourse is still found when explaining the educational disadvantages of these students, more critical voices emerge from the teachers themselves towards the educational practice of those who exercise forms of discrimination towards students and their families. In addition, these interviewees highlight the need to improve training in interculturality for both teachers and administrative staff

Teachers' professional development through the education practicum: A proposal for university-school collaboration

In this article we present the results of an investigation carried out in the 2019/2020 academic year whose objective was to understand how an inclusive and reflective practicum model can improve in teaching professional development as well as initial teacher training, in which the university, teaching practice students and school teachers all actively participated. For this investigation we have carried out a case study in which 2 schools of infant and primary education participated. This included a total of 9 teachers, 5 students of Primary Education Teaching and 2 research professors from the University. The data of the 3 discussion groups that were carried out with all the participants were analysed like so the practicum summaries of the students. The main results show the importance of schools with inclusive methodologies favour initial teacher training to have the theory-practice connection along with the improvement of personal and professional development

Six Collective Challenges for Sustainability of Almería Greenhouse Horticulture

Globally, current food consumption and trade are placing unprecedented demand on agricultural systems and increasing pressure on natural resources, requiring tradeoffs between food security and environmental impacts especially given the tension between market-driven agriculture and agro-ecological goals. In order to illustrate the wicked social, economic and environmental challenges and processes to find transformative solutions, we focus on the largest concentration of greenhouses in the world located in the semi-arid coastal plain of South-east Spain. Almería family farming, predominantly cooperative, greenhouse intensive production, commenced after the 1960s and has resulted in very significant social and economic benefits for the region, while also having important negative environmental and biodiversity impacts, as well as creating new social challenges. The system currently finds itself in a crisis of diminishing economic benefits and increasing environmental and social dilemmas. Here, we present the outcomes of multi-actor, transdisciplinary research to review and provide collective insights for solutions-oriented research on the sustainability of Almeria’s agricultural sector. The multi-actor, transdisciplinary process implemented collectively, and supported by scientific literature, identified six fundamental challenges to transitioning to an agricultural model that aims to ameliorate risks and avoid a systemic collapse, whilst balancing a concern for profitability with sustainability: (1) Governance based on a culture of shared responsibility for sustainability, (2) Sustainable and efficient use of water, (3) Biodiversity conservation, (4) Implementing a circular economy plan, (5) Technology and knowledge transfer, and (6) Image and identity. We conclude that the multi-actor transdisciplinary approach successfully facilitated the creation of a culture of shared responsibility among public, private, academic, and civil society actors. Notwithstanding plural values, challenges and solutions identified by consensus point to a nascent acknowledgement of the strategic necessity to locate agricultural economic activity within social and environmental spheres.This paper demonstrates the need to establish transdisciplinary multi-actor work-schemes to continue collaboration and research for the transition to an agro-ecological model as a means to remain competitive and to create value

All-cause mortality in the cohorts of the Spanish AIDS Research Network (RIS) compared with the general population: 1997Ł2010

Abstract Background: Combination antiretroviral therapy (cART) has produced significant changes in mortality of HIVinfected persons. Our objective was to estimate mortality rates, standardized mortality ratios and excess mortality rates of cohorts of the AIDS Research Network (RIS) (CoRIS-MD and CoRIS) compared to the general population. Methods: We analysed data of CoRIS-MD and CoRIS cohorts from 1997 to 2010. We calculated: (i) all-cause mortality rates, (ii) standardized mortality ratio (SMR) and (iii) excess mortality rates for both cohort for 100 personyears (py) of follow-up, comparing all-cause mortality with that of the general population of similar age and gender. Results: Between 1997 and 2010, 8,214 HIV positive subjects were included, 2,453 (29.9%) in CoRIS-MD and 5,761 (70.1%) in CoRIS and 294 deaths were registered. All-cause mortality rate was 1.02 (95% CI 0.91-1.15) per 100 py, SMR was 6.8 (95% CI 5.9-7.9) and excess mortality rate was 0.8 (95% CI 0.7-0.9) per 100 py. Mortality was higher in patients with AIDS, hepatitis C virus (HCV) co-infection, and those from CoRIS-MD cohort (1997. Conclusion: Mortality among HIV-positive persons remains higher than that of the general population of similar age and sex, with significant differences depending on the history of AIDS or HCV coinfection

Prácticum Inclusivo: Creando redes de aprendizaje y colaboración entre los estudiantes, los maestros y la Facultad de Educación

The presented Teaching Innovation project deals with establishment of support, learning and collaboration networks between university and non-university teaching staff. This was done with two fundamental purposes in mind: on the one hand, improving the training of Practicum students through joint reflection and, on the other hand, promoting inclusive education in schools through support networks among teachers. Participants were the Practicum students from the Faculty of Education, specifically students with the major in Special Educational Needs. The project included creation of joint seminars between Practicum tutors of the Faculty, tutors from schools and Practicum students. Moreover, initiating support networks allowed involving two different schools in two Autonomous Communities, which has been a highly enriching experience for all participants.El proyecto de Innovación Docente presentado trata sobre el establecimiento de redes de apoyo, aprendizaje y colaboración entre el profesorado universitario y no universitario. Esto se hizo con dos propósitos fundamentales en mente: por un lado, mejorar la formación de los estudiantes de Prácticum a través de la reflexión conjunta y, por otro lado, promover la educación inclusiva en las escuelas a través de redes de apoyo entre docentes. Los participantes fueron los estudiantes de Prácticum de la Facultad de Educación, específicamente estudiantes con mención de Necesidades Educativas Especiales. El proyecto incluyó la creación de seminarios conjuntos entre tutores de Prácticum de la Facultad, tutores de centros educativos y alumnos de Prácticum. Además, la puesta en marcha de redes de apoyo permitió involucrar a dos centros educativos diferentes en dos Comunidades Autónomas, lo que ha sido una experiencia muy enriquecedora para todos los participantes
