Right of families to participate in the school context : analysis from the chilean and spanish constitutions.

Está comprobado que la participación colaborativa de las familias en el contexto escolar permite soluciones más eficientes y duraderas a problemas sociales como la deserción escolar o las vulneraciones de derechos; hecho que favorece el desarrollo integral de los niños, niñas y adolescentes. El objetivo del artículo es contrastar la regulación del derecho de las familias a participar en el contexto escolar consagrada en las constituciones chilena y española, a través del método de la dogmática jurídica, por medio de la cual se realizó un análisis comparado entre el inciso final del Artículo 19 Nº 10 de la Constitución chilena y los Artículos 27.5 y 27.7 de la Constitución española. Como principal resultado se halló que el deber contributivo de la comunidad al desarrollo de la educación conlleva implícitamente el derecho de participación de las familias en el contexto escolar. También se encontró que la Constitución chilena, a diferencia de la española, no contempla normas que garanticen explícitamente este derecho; de modo que el derecho/deber de educar a los hijos e hijas queda trunco al no asegurar su participación más allá de escoger el tipo de establecimiento educacional.It has been proven that collaborative participation of families in the school context allows for more efficient and lasting solutions to social problems such as dropping out of schools or rights violations which favors the comprehensive development of children and adolescents. The objective of this article is to contrast the regulation of the right of families to participate in the school context in Chilean and Spanish Constitutions using the method of legal dogmatic through which a comparative analysis between the final clause of Article 19 Nº 10 of the Chilean Constitution and Articles 27.5 and 27.7 of the Spanish Constitution was carried out. As a main result, it was found that the contributory duty of the community to the development and improvement of education, implicitly entails the right to participation of families in the school context. It was also found the Chilean Constitution, unlike the Spanish Constitution, does not include norms that explicitly guarantee this right so that the right/duty of parents to educate the children is truncated by not ensuring their participation beyond being able to choose the type of educational establishment

Symbol Digit Modalities Test: Normative data for Spanish-speaking pediatric population

OBJECTIVE: To generate normative data for the Symbol Digit Modalities Test (SDMT) in Spanish-speaking pediatric populations. METHOD: The sample consisted of 4,373 healthy children from nine countries in Latin America (Chile, Cuba, Ecuador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Paraguay, Peru, and Puerto Rico) and Spain. Each participant was administered the SDMT as part of a larger neuropsychological battery. SDMT scores were normed using multiple linear regressions and standard deviations of residual values. Age, age2, sex, and mean level of parental education (MLPE) were included as predictors in the analyses. RESULTS: The final multiple linear regression models showed main effects for age in all countries, such that score increased linearly as a function of age. In addition, age2 had a significant effect in all countries, except in Honduras and Puerto Rico. Models indicated that children whose parent(s) had a MLPE >12 years of education obtained higher score compared to children whose parent(s) had a MLPE ≤12 years for Chile, Guatemala, Mexico, and Spain. Sex affected SDMT score for Paraguay and Spain. CONCLUSIONS: This is the largest Spanish-speaking pediatric normative study in the world, and it will allow neuropsychologists from these countries to have a more accurate interpretation of the SDMT with pediatric populations

Rey–Osterrieth Complex Figure – copy and immediate recall (3 minutes): Normative data for Spanish-speaking pediatric populations

OBJECTIVE: To generate normative data for the Rey–Osterrieth Complex Figure (ROCF) in Spanish-speaking pediatric populations. METHOD: The sample consisted of 4,373 healthy children from nine countries in Latin America (Chile, Cuba, Ecuador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Paraguay, Peru, and Puerto Rico) and Spain. Each participant was administered the ROCF as part of a larger neuropsychological battery. The ROCF copy and immediate recall (3 minutes) scores were normed using multiple linear regressions and standard deviations of residual values. Age, age2, sex, and mean level of parental education (MLPE) were included as predictors in the analyses. RESULTS: The final multiple linear regression models showed main effect for age on copy and immediate recall scores, such that scores increased linearly as a function of age. Age2 affected ROCF copy score for all countries, except Puerto Rico; and ROCF immediate recall scores for all countries, except Chile, Guatemala, Honduras, Paraguay, and Puerto Rico. Models indicated that children whose parent(s) had a MLPE >12 years obtained higher scores compared to children whose parent(s) had a MLPE≤12 years for Chile, Puerto Rico, and Spain in the ROCF copy, and Paraguay and Spain for the ROCF immediate recall. Sex affected ROCF copy and immediate recall score for Chile and Puerto Rico with girls scoring higher than boys. CONCLUSIONS: This is the largest Spanish-speaking pediatric normative study in the world, and it will allow neuropsychologists from these countries to have a more accurate approach to interpret the ROCF Test in pediatric populations

Newly developed Learning and Verbal Memory Test (TAMV-I): Normative data for Spanish-speaking pediatric population

OBJECTIVE: To generate normative data for the Learning and Verbal Memory Test (TAMV-I) in Spanish-speaking pediatric populations. METHOD: The sample consisted of 4,373 healthy children from nine countries in Latin America (Chile, Cuba, Ecuador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Paraguay, Peru, and Puerto Rico) and Spain. Each participant was administered the TAMV-I as part of a larger neuropsychological battery. Free recall, memory delay and recognition scores were normed using multiple linear regressions and standard deviations of residual values. Age, age2, sex, and mean level of parental education (MLPE) were included as predictors in the analyses. RESULTS: The final multiple linear regression models indicated main effects for age on all scores, such that scores increased linearly as a function of age. Age2 had a significant effect in all countries except Cuba, and Puerto Rico for free recall score; a significant effect for memory delay score in all countries except Cuba and Puerto Rico; and a significant effect for recognition score in in all countries except Guatemala, Honduras, and Puerto Rico. Models showed an effect for MLPE in Chile (free recall), Honduras (free recall), Mexico (free recall), Puerto Rico (free recall, memory delay, and recognition), and Spain (free recall and memory delay). Sex affected free recall score for Cuba, Ecuador, Guatemala, Mexico, Paraguay, Peru, and Spain, memory delay score for all countries except Chile, Paraguay, and Puerto Rico, and recognition score for Ecuador, Mexico, Peru, and Spain, with girls scoring higher than boys. CONCLUSIONS: This is the largest Spanish-speaking pediatric normative study in the world, and it will allow neuropsychologists from these countries to have a more accurate way to interpret the TAMV-I with pediatric populations

Shortened Version of the Token Test: Normative data for Spanish-speaking pediatric population

OBJECTIVE: To generate normative data for the Shortened Version of the Token Test in Spanish-speaking pediatric populations. METHOD: The sample consisted of 4,373 healthy children from nine countries in Latin America (Chile, Cuba, Ecuador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Paraguay, Peru, and Puerto Rico) and Spain. Each participant was administered the Shortened Version of the Token Test as part of a larger neuropsychological battery. Shortened Version of the Token Test total scores were normed using multiple linear regressions and standard deviations of residual values. Age, age2, sex, and mean level of parental education (MLPE) were included as predictors in the analyses. RESULTS: The final multiple linear regression models showed main effects for age in all countries, such that score increased linearly as a function of age. In addition, age2 had a significant effect in all countries, except Guatemala and Puerto Rico. Models showed that children whose parent(s) had a MLPE >12 years obtained higher score compared to children whose parents had a MLPE ≤12 years in Ecuador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Paraguay, Peru, Puerto Rico, and Spain. The child’s sex did not have an effect in the Shortened Version of the Token Test total score for any of the countries. CONCLUSIONS: This is the largest Spanish-speaking pediatric normative study in the world, and it will allow neuropsychologists from these countries to have a more accurate interpretation of the Shortened Version of the Token Test when used in pediatric populations

Revista electrónica interuniversitaria de formación del profesorado

Título, resumen y palabras clave en español e inglésResumen basado en el de la publicaciónEn un contexto de amplio acuerdo científico y legislativo sobre la importancia de la colaboración familia y escuela en los sistemas escolares, se indaga en las nociones de colaboración que sustentan las prácticas de participación familiar en cinco establecimientos de Chile. Usando un cuestionario de involucramiento familiar y a través de entrevistas individuales y grupales, se identifican las nociones de colaboración familia-escuela, los roles y las expectativas sobre las familias derivadas de éstas. El análisis muestra cómo las nociones de colaboración de docentes y familias privilegian cierto tipo de participación mientras invisibilizan otros. Se problematiza el hecho de que las familias, unilateralmente, sean construidas como las responsables últimas del éxito de la relación familia-escuela.ES

Revista de psicodidáctica

Título, resumen y palabras clave en español y en inglésResumen basado en el de la publicaciónSe busca modelizar la estructura que relaciona el compromiso escolar con un efecto directo sobre las variables dependientes: asistencia a clases y rendimiento escolar. Además, se considera el efecto indirecto de variables contextuales (Familia, Profesores y Pares) sobre las variables dependientes, a través del compromiso escolar. Se utiliza una muestra de 1170 estudiantes con edades entre 12 y 17 anos. Dos cuestionarios son respondidos por cada estudiante para evaluar el compromiso escolar y las variables contextuales. La información sobre el rendimiento escolar y el porcentaje de asistencia a las clases es proporcionada por los sostenedores municipales de los establecimientos escolares. Se considera el compromiso escolar como formado por tres subtipos de compromiso (afectivo, cognitivo y conductual). Se realiza un análisis de modelo de ecuaciones estructurales para determinar el grado de ajuste del modelo a los datos. El modelo de mediación presenta un buen ajuste (RMSEA= .045; CFI = .944; TLI = .940). El compromiso cognitivo tiene un efecto directo, positivo y moderado sobre el rendimiento escolar. El compromiso afectivo tiene un efecto directo, positivo y moderado en la asistencia a las clases. El compromiso escolar es una variable que presenta un efecto sobre el rendimiento escolar y la asistencia a clases. Una característica importante de este modelo es que las variables Compromiso escolar y los factores contextuales son aspectos modificables de la vida de un estudiante, por lo que pueden ser consideradas por programas de intervención escolar en busca de afectar positivamente la asistencia y rendimiento escolar.ES

Multivariate Base Rates of Low Scores on Tests of Learning and Memory among Spanish-Speaking Children

To determine the prevalence of low scores on two neuropsychological tests commonly used to evaluate learning and memory in children. 6,030 healthy children from 10 countries in Latin America and Spain were administered Rey–Osterrieth Complex Figure (ROCF) and the Test de Aprendizaje y Memoria Verbal–Infantil (TAMV-I). Results showed that low scores are common when multiple neuropsychological outcomes (tests and/or scores) are evaluated in healthy individuals. Clinicians should consider the higher probability of low scores in a given individual when evaluating learning and memory using various sets of scores to reduce false-positive diagnoses of cognitive deficits in pediatric populations

Shortened Version of the Token Test: Normative data for Spanish-speaking pediatric population

OBJECTIVE: To generate normative data for the Shortened Version of the Token Test in Spanish-speaking pediatric populations. METHOD: The sample consisted of 4,373 healthy children from nine countries in Latin America (Chile, Cuba, Ecuador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Paraguay, Peru, and Puerto Rico) and Spain. Each participant was administered the Shortened Version of the Token Test as part of a larger neuropsychological battery. Shortened Version of the Token Test total scores were normed using multiple linear regressions and standard deviations of residual values. Age, age 2, sex, and mean level of parental education (MLPE) were included as predictors in the analyses. RESULTS: The final multiple linear regression models showed main effects for age in all countries, such that score increased linearly as a function of age. In addition, age 2 had a significant effect in all countries, except Guatemala and Puerto Rico. Models showed that children whose parent(s) had a MLPE >12 years obtained higher score compared to children whose parents had a MLPE ?12 years in Ecuador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Paraguay, Peru, Puerto Rico, and Spain. The child's sex did not have an effect in the Shortened Version of the Token Test total score for any of the countries. CONCLUSIONS: This is the largest Spanish-speaking pediatric normative study in the world, and it will allow neuropsychologists from these countries to have a more accurate interpretation of the Shortened Version of the Token Test when used in pediatric populations. © 2017 - IOS Press and the authors.
