Finalidades de la enseñanza de las ciencias en la Secundaria obligatoria : ¿Alfabetización científica o preparación propedéutica?

The purpose of this work is to find out the teachers' opinions regarding the aims and objectives of the teaching of science, within the frame of the educational reform. We attempt to disclose to what extent educational thinking gives priority to the training of the students in scientific concepts, laws and theories needed in further courses (propedeutic training) and how this thinking pays less attention to the so-called scientific literacy which is meant to be the main object of the teaching of science according to the designers of the curriculum. To achieve this, we carried out a multiple and convergent experimental design with a number of samples of teachers. We found a confirmation that in Secondary education, the curricular emphasis of teachers focuses on the propedeutic training of students

Latino Communities in the United States: Place-Making in the Pre-World War II, Postwar, and Contemporary City

Scholarship on Latino communities in the United States has yet to catch up with the rapid growth of this ethnic population in the country. Understanding the Latino urban experience and developing plans to better respond to both the needs of Latino communities and their integration within society is not only relevant, but also urgently necessary. Using the city of Los Angeles as a main lens, in addition to a general look at the urban Southwest, we contribute to the scholarship on the subject with a review of literature on Latino communities. We structure the review as an assessment of the various challenges and opportunities for urban Latinos in the pre-war, postwar, and contemporary city. Focusing on space, culture, economy, and governance, we chart the various roles both the private and public sectors play in meeting these challenges. Our reading of the literature shows that particular government actions in the economic and governance domains in the past had positive impacts on Latino integration, and we call for a similar effort today in addressing contemporary challenges. We conclude by suggesting that future planning scholarship on Latino communities engage the wider urban studies literature, focus on emerging forms of urbanization, and call on planners to sustain increased academic and practical interest in the topic

The James Webb Space Telescope Mission

Twenty-six years ago a small committee report, building on earlier studies, expounded a compelling and poetic vision for the future of astronomy, calling for an infrared-optimized space telescope with an aperture of at least $4m$. With the support of their governments in the US, Europe, and Canada, 20,000 people realized that vision as the $6.5m$ James Webb Space Telescope. A generation of astronomers will celebrate their accomplishments for the life of the mission, potentially as long as 20 years, and beyond. This report and the scientific discoveries that follow are extended thank-you notes to the 20,000 team members. The telescope is working perfectly, with much better image quality than expected. In this and accompanying papers, we give a brief history, describe the observatory, outline its objectives and current observing program, and discuss the inventions and people who made it possible. We cite detailed reports on the design and the measured performance on orbit.Comment: Accepted by PASP for the special issue on The James Webb Space Telescope Overview, 29 pages, 4 figure

Enseñanza de las ciencias : revista de investigación y experiencias didácticas

Resumen basado en el de la revistaEl propósito de este trabajo es encontrar las ideas, propósitos y objetivos de los profesores de ciencias dentro del marco de las reformas educativas. Se trata de revelar en que medida el pensamiento educativo da prioridad a la enseñanza de los estudiantes en los conceptos científicos, leyes y teorías necesarias en cursos superiores (capacitación propedéutica) y como este pensamiento presta menos atención a la llamada alfabetización científica lo cual se suponía iba a ser el principal objetivo de la enseñanza de ciencias de acuerdo con los diseños del currículum . Al lograr esto, se lleva a cabo un diseño experimental multiple y convergente con un múmero de muestra de profesores. Se confirma que en Educación Secundaria el énfasis curricular de los profesores está enfocado a la enseñanza propedéutica de los estudiantes.CataluñaES

Observatorio enruta: investigación y análisis de la experiencia urbana para la acción colectiva

En este proyecto se analizaron implicaciones sociales de las transformaciones urbanísticas en el Centro Histórico de Guadalajara a partir de la experiencia urbana. Se problematizaron los proyectos urbanísticos en cinco cuadrantes de esta zona de la ciudad a partir del análisis teórico y de casos de gentrificación. Se generó evidencia sobre el proceso del desplazamiento urbano a partir de registros cartográficos, narrativos y audiovisuales en esos cinco cuadrantes, y se identificaron las acciones de grupos de vecinos y comerciantes que se organizan frente a estos proyectos urbanísticos para plantear colaboraciones
