La importancia de las redes sociales en el ámbito educativo

El auge y propagación de las redes sociales de todo tipo ha alcanzado niveles impensados hace solo unos años. Gracias a los aportes de la denominada Web 2.0 las redes sociales online están ganando terreno frente a otras alternativas de comunicación vía Internet. En las redes sociales, nadie depende de nadie en exclusiva para poder llevar a cualquier otro su mensaje. El emisor no tiene que pasar por otros “nodos” para que su mensaje sea enviado. Si vemos desde un punto estratégico y de enseñanza, los usuarios tienden a pasar más tiempo en las redes sociales más que en cualquier otro sitio, con lo cual son una excelente oportunidad para potenciar el aprendizaje. Las mismas permiten al alumno expresarse por sí mismo, entablar relaciones con otros, así como atender a las exigencias propias de su educación. En consecuencia, es necesario, más bien imprescindible, que las instituciones educativas asuman la tarea de la alfabetización en estos nuevos entornos. En éste artículo intentaremos hacer un análisis de las ventajas en el uso de las redes sociales en la educación, como así también las áreas de impacto de las mismas y sus beneficios.Red de Universidades con Carreras en Informática (RedUNCI

Desarrollo y puesta en funcionamiento de red social orientada a la educación

Es ampliamente conocido, que hoy en día, el auge y propagación de las redes sociales de todo tipo ha alcanzado niveles impensados hace solo unos años. Sin ir más lejos Facebook ya cuenta con más de 800 mil millones de usuarios. Utilizando las herramientas necesarias, desde un punto de vista educativo, las redes sociales pueden ser nuestras mejores aliadas en la educación. Las redes sociales son una excelente oportunidad para potenciar el aprendizaje, dado que tienen el innegable valor de acercar el aprendizaje informal y el formal. Las mismas plantean hoy en día un nuevo concepto de interactividad donde el usuario es centro atención de las mismas. Contar, hoy por hoy, con una red social educativa como parte de una universidad, la cual sirva para potenciar la metodología de enseñanza-aprendizaje se torna casi imprescindible. No solo para impartir conocimiento a los alumnos sino además para compartir sus hallazgos científicos e impedir que el conocimiento nuevo se quede estático.Eje: Tecnología informática aplicada en educaciónRed de Universidades con Carreras en Informática (RedUNCI

Donning the ‘slow professor’: A feminist action research project

Corporatization of Higher Education has introduced new performance measurements as well as an acceleration of academic tasks creating working environments characterised by speed, pressure and stress. This paper discusses findings from a qualitative, feminist participatory action research (PAR) study undertaken by an interdisciplinary team of women academics at a modern, corporate university in England. The study illuminates how corporatized HE erodes faculty autonomy, degrades learning environments, damages professional satisfaction and health. Strategies for resistance and liberation developed through the PAR process are discussed

Biological control of invasive stink bugs: review of global state and future prospects

Invasive stink bugs (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) are responsible for high economic losses to agriculture on a global scale. The most important species, dating from recent to old invasions, include Bagrada hilaris (Burmeister), Halyomorpha halys (St\ue5l), Piezodorus guildinii (Westwood), Nezara viridula (L.), and Murgantia histrionica (Hahn). Bagrada hilaris, H. halys, and N. viridula are now almost globally distributed. Biological control of these pests faces a complex set of challenges that must be addressed to maintain pest populations below the economic injury level. Several case studies of classical and conservation biological control of invasive stink bugs are reported here. The most common parasitoids in their geographical area of origin are egg parasitoids (Hymenoptera: Scelionidae, Encyrtidae, and Eupelmidae). Additionally, native parasitoids of adult stink bugs (Diptera: Tachinidae) have in some cases adapted to the novel hosts in the invaded area and native predators are known to prey on the various instars. Improving the efficacy of biocontrol agents is possible through conservation biological control techniques and exploitation of their chemical ecology. Moreover, integration of biological control with other techniques, such as behavioural manipulation of adult stink bugs and plant resistance, may be a sustainable pest control method within organic farming and integrated pest management programs. However, additional field studies are needed to verify the efficacy of these novel methods and transfer them from research to application

Timber production and biodiversity conservation in Nothofagus forests of Tierra del Fuego and southern Patagonia.

Las propuestas de manejo forestal para Tierra del Fuego y Patagonia Sur se basan en el manejo silvopastoril para Nothofagus antarctica (ñire), y cortas de protección y raleo para Nothofagus pumilio (lenga). Ambas propuestas producen impactos sobre los componentes bióticos y abióticos del bosque original. El objetivo de este capítulo es analizar las propuestas de manejo, planteando alternativas que prioricen el equilibrio entre producción y conservación a partir de las investigaciones actuales. Se analizan diferentes escalas en la planificación del manejo forestal y estrategias de conservación (macro, meso y micro-escala), describiendo ventajas y costos incrementales de su aplicación. En particular, se describe la aplicación de la retención variable como técnica complementaria de las cortas de protección, para minimizar los impactos de la cosecha a escala de rodal sobre las variables abióticas y bióticas. Asimismo, se analiza la regeneración natural como la variable de mayor importancia en los monitoreos postcosecha, junto con los factores limitantes del ciclo y la posterior dinámica en parcelas de investigación a largo plazo, así como los resultados de ensayos de raleos y podas comerciales. Finalmente, se describen las carencias en el conocimiento científico y técnico desarrollado hasta el presente, a fin de mejorar la implementación del manejo forestal actual. A partir de este análisis se proponen diez desafíos a tener en cuenta para la próxima década. Summary: Forest management for Tierra del Fuego and southern Patagonia are based mainly on silvopastoral use of Nothofagus antarctica (ñire), and shelterwood cuts and thinnings for Nothofagus pumilio (lenga). Both proposals had impacts over biotic and abiotic components of the original forests. The objective of this chapter was to analyze these management practices by introducing a concept of equilibrium between timber production and conservation. Different planning scales (macro-, meso- and micro-scale) were analyzed for forest management and conservation including advantages and implementation. In particular, variable retention implementation was described as complementary technique of the shelterwood cuts, where harvesting impacts over abiotic and biotic scale at stand level were minimized. Natural regeneration, as one of the most important variable in the post-harvesting monitoring, also was analyzed. Limiting factors in the whole reproductive cycle, their natural dynamics in long-term research plots, commercial thinnings and prunings were described. Finally, it was identified the main actual scientific and technical knowledge gaps in order to improve the future research and implementation in the current forest management.Forest management for Tierra del Fuego and southern Patagonia are based mainly on silvopastoral use of Nothofagus antarctica (ñire), and shelterwood cuts and thinnings for Nothofagus pumilio (lenga).

‘Welcome to the Machine!’ Resisting isomorphic, masculinised corporatisation of Higher Education through feminist scholarship

This paper discusses the synthesised findings from two interdisciplinary, feminist studies conducted under the auspices of the non-corporate nexus, the Women’s Academic Network at Bournemouth University, UK, of which the main author is a co-convenor and co-founder. These qualitative studies focus on academic women’s experiences of managing careers in the work culture of corporate Institutions of Higher Education (HEI) in a modern UK university. The background to this work draws from a body of international research into the slower career progression rates of women academics in comparison to male counterparts and gendered barriers the former encounter. While there has encouragement within Higher Education bodies across the EU to balance out the current gendered inequities within academia, our findings indicate that these are woven into the institutional fabric of enacted daily academic practices serving to disadvantage women scholars
