Concepciones alternativas de los alumnos de Educación Secundaria sobre el enlace químico

En el presente trabajo se analizan las concepciones alternativas de los alumnos de 4º curso de Educación Secundaria Obligatoria (ESO) y 1º de Bachillerato sobre el enlace químico. Para ello se procedió a la administración de un cuestionario a 101 alumnos de ambos cursos. Los resultados muestran que, a pesar de que hay matices diferenciales entre ambos cursos, en los dos casos, los alumnos presentan dificultades para relacionar los niveles macro y micro de la química, y por tanto, para llegar a comprender y relacionar las propiedades macroscópicas de las sustancias con el tipo de unión que presentan las partículas (átomos, iones y moléculas) a nivel microscópicoIn this paper, the alternative misconceptions about chemical bond of 4th Compulsory Secondary Education and 1st of Bachillerato students are analyzed. The experimental work involved the administration of 101 questionnaires to students of both courses. The results show that, although there are differential nuances between both courses, the most important conclusion is that students have in common the difficulty to relate macro and micro levels of chemistry and, therefore, to reach the comprehension to relate the macroscopic properties of substances with the type of bonding that these particles (atoms, ions and molecules) have at the microscopic leve

Social media and eating disorder psychopathology: a systematic review

The relationship between socialization through social media (SM) and eating disorders (EDs) is a serious problem for public health, largely affecting the mental health of younger people. This work aimed to identify scientific works addressing ED psychopathologies, studying their relationship with SM usage. In this systematic review, we analyze the available scientific evidence, thereby providing tools for intervention, prevention, and treatment. A systematic review and PRISMA analysis of narrative syntheses was carried out. Works were selected from the databases of Web of Science, Scopus, PubMed, and PsycINFO. Out of a total of 257 references, 19 articles were identified and selected; among them, correlational studies predominated. A growing interest in the subject matter was identified, as it is undergoing constant changes. The investigations found that EDs and SM usage are influenced by the time spent on SM, the type of interactions, and shared photographs, as well as gender and sociocultural context

Criterios e indicadores para la evaluación de la calidad en las instituciones de educación superior (IES)

La variedad de elementos utilizados en los procesos de evaluación, acreditación y certificación, demuestran la heterogeneidad de criterios y factores incluidos en trabajos, muchas veces sin un sustente metodológico, que indique a las instituciones de educación superior (IES), la manera de asumir el liderazgo para fomentar la cultura de calidad y contribuir a la evolución del sistema de educación superior. Los criterios e indicadores utilizados para evaluar la calidad en las ies y su desempeño en México se estudian tomando como base las sugerencias que hicieron la Unesco, el Banco Mundial (BM), el Banco Interamericano de Desarrollo (BID), y la Organización para la cooperación y el Desarrollo Económico (OCDE) en asuntos relacionados con la educación superior en los países en vías de desarrollo; y analizando los estudios acerca de este tema en las universidades de algunos países como Francia, México, Países Bajos, Australia y Finlandia acerca de la evaluación de la calidad en la educación superior. Finalmente, se presenta una propuesta para implementar criterios e indicadores orientados a la evaluación de la calidad en las IES

Rubric elaboration to evaluate by competences a practice of Physics laboratory: parallel-plate capacitor

In recent years, the different educational levels continue adopting the competency-based education model as a quality assessment system; in this context, the competency evaluation becomes one of the most important tasks of the educational processes because of its formative usefulness in the learning of the students. Competency-based education is oriented towards an evaluation model linked to student training, to foster the development of skills and abilities to identify, project, solve problems and make decisions. In addition, it promotes the pursuit of meaningful learning and fosters collaborative work. The rubrics for competences evaluation appeared as a tool that allows obtaining evidence of the acquisition of competences and application of knowledge outside the classroom. We present a proposal of rubrics for the evaluation by competences of a laboratory practice of Physics in which the capacitance of a parallel-plate capacitor is measured by varying the separation between the plates and then, by means of a least squares adjustment, obtain the value of the electric permittivity of the air, ε0, and the value of the constant, k, which appears in Coulomb's law. We have designed a laboratory practice and developed the evaluation rubric applied to students of Physics for Computer Science Engineering in the Degree of Computer Engineering of the Higher Polytechnic School of the University of Castilla -La Mancha (UCLM), located on the university campus of Albacete. For the implementation of this rubric, we will select two study groups: a control group and an experimental group, the control group will develop the practice into the physics laboratory without rubric evaluation information; and the experimental group, will develop practice in the physics laboratory but with rubric evaluation information. Finally, we will evaluate the perception of the students about use of rubrics, and we will make a comparative analysis of both groups, considering the marks obtained in the practices and the results of the evaluation perception

Síndrome de Takotsubo tras traumatismo que requiere intervención quirúrgica urgente.

Takotsubo syndrome (TTS) is a stress cardiomyopathy affecting more frequently postmenopausal women after a physical or emotional trigger. It presents with similar symptoms to acute coronary syndrome as well as elevation of cardiac biomarkers and abnormalities in electrocardiogram. Diagnosis is based on ‘InterTAK Diagnostic Criteria’ established in 2018, with the fundamental finding of temporary wall motion abnormality of the left ventricle, typically without coronary pathology (although this does not exclude the diagnosis) and early reversibility of the condition. Treatment is not clearly defined so it will include life support measures and prevention of life-threatening complications. In the recent past years there has been an increase in the description of this syndrome in sanitary environments, which most likely suggests an infradetection. Perioperative period might provide a perfect scenario for its occurrence due to the implication of surgical stress and hence the anesthesiologist will be key in its diagnosis and management.El síndrome de Takotsubo (STT), es una miocardiopatía de estrés que afecta más frecuentemente a mujeres postmenopaúsicas tras un estímulo físico o emocional. Se caracteriza por presentar una clínica similar al síndrome coronario agudo, con elevación de enzimas cardiacas y alteraciones en el electrocardiograma. El diagnóstico se basa en los “InterTAK Diagnostic Criteria” establecidos en 2018, siendo fundamental el hallazgo de una anormalidad en la contracción del ventrículo izquierdo, sin patología coronaria (aunque su aparición no excluye el diagnóstico), con reversibilidad del cuadro precoz. El tratamiento no está claramente establecido, incluyendo medidas de soporte y la prevención de complicaciones. En los últimos años, ha habido un aumento de su descripción en los entornos sanitarios, lo que sugiere un probable infradiagnóstico. El entorno perioperatorio puede ser un escenario ideal para su aparición, por la implicación del estrés quirúrgico, siendo el anestesiólogo el principal implicado en su diagnóstico y manejo

Active learning and conceptual mapping: applying to alternate current circuit

Los maestros están profundamente preocupados por cómo ser más efectivos en nuestra tarea de enseñar. Debemos organizar los contenidos de nuestra área específica proporcionándoles una configuración lógica, para lo cual debemos conocer la estructura mental de los alumnos que tenemos en el aula. Debemos dar forma a esta estructura mental, de manera progresiva, para que puedan asimilar los contenidos que estamos tratando de transferir, para que el aprendizaje sea lo más significativo posible. En el modelo de aprendizaje generativo, los vínculos antes del estímulo entregado por el profesor y la información almacenada en la mente del alumno requieren un esfuerzo importante del estudiante, que debe construir nuevos significados conceptuales. Ese esfuerzo, que es extremadamente necesario para un buen aprendizaje, a veces es el ingrediente faltante para que el proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje pueda ser asimilado correctamente. En los circuitos eléctricos, que sabemos están perfectamente controlados y descritos por la ley de Ohm's y las dos reglas de Kirchhoff's, hay dos conceptos que corresponden a las siguientes magnitudes físicas: tensión y resistencia eléctrica. Estos dos conceptos están integrados y vinculados cuando se presenta el concepto de corriente. Este concepto no está subordinado a los anteriores, tiene el mismo grado de inclusión y dá lugar a relaciones sustanciales entre los tres conceptos, materializándolo en una ley: El Ohm's, nos permite relacionar y calcular cualquiera de las tres magnitudes, dos de ellas conocidas. La corriente alterna, en la que tanto la tensión como la corriente se invierten decenas de veces por segundo, desempeña un papel importante en muchos aspectos de nuestra vida moderna, ya que se utiliza universalmente. Su característica principal es que su máximo voltaje es fácilmente modificable a través del uso de transformadores, lo que facilita enormemente su transferencia con muy pocas pérdidas. En este artículo presentamos un mapa conceptual utilizando la CmapTools para que se utilice como una nueva herramienta para analizar de manera lógica la estructura subyacente en los circuitos de corriente alterna, con el objetivo de ofrecer a los estudiantes de las especialidades de Ciencias e Ingeniería otra opción para intentar lograr un aprendizaje significativo de esta importante parte de la física.Teachers are deeply concerned on how to be more effective in our task of teaching. We must organize the contents of our specific area providing them with a logical configuration, for which we must know the mental structure of the students that we have in the classroom. We must shape this mental structure, in a progressive manner, so that they can assimilate the contents that we are trying to transfer, to make the learning as meaningful as possible. In the generative learning model, the links before the stimulus delivered by the teacher and the information stored in the mind of the learner requires an important effort by the student, who should build new conceptual meanings. That effort, which is extremely necessary for a good learning, sometimes is the missing ingredient so that the teaching-learning process can be properly assimilated. In electrical circuits, which we know are perfectly controlled and described by Ohm's law and Kirchhoff's two rules, there are two concepts that correspond to the following physical quantities: voltage and electrical resistance. These two concepts are integrated and linked when the concept of current is presented. This concept is not subordinated to the previous ones, it has the same degree of inclusiveness and gives rise to substantial relations between the three concepts, materializing it into a law: The Ohm, which allows us to relate and to calculate any of the three physical magnitudes, two of them known. The alternate current, in which both the voltage and the current are reversed dozens of times per second, plays an important role in many aspects of our modern life, because it is universally used. Its main feature is that its maximum voltage is easily modifiable through the use of transformers, which greatly facilitates its transfer with very few losses. In this paper, we present a conceptual map so that it is used as a new tool to analyze in a logical manner the underlying structure in the alternate current circuits, with the objective of providing the students from Sciences and Engineering majors with another option to try, amongst all, to achieve a significant learning of this important part of physics
