Las representaciones gráficas en tareas académicas universitarias
Leer y escribir textos académicos es el eje principal del aprendizaje en la universidad; sin embargo, parece que el manejo, interpretación y construcción de otros tipos de sistemas de representaciones es fundamental en la enseñanza de Ciencias. En este trabajo se presenta un análisis de consignas que se ofrecen a estudiantes universitarios de Ciencias Biológicas, en donde se solicita el uso, lectura o producción de representaciones externas de tipo figurativas. El análisis se realizó en dos sentidos complementarios: primero, nos centramos en la caracterización de la naturaleza representacional de la información gráfica, para luego atender a los niveles de procesamiento de las mismas. Tras este análisis se presentan algunas consideraciones sobre la importancia y la riqueza cognitiva potencial del trabajo con representaciones en clases de Ciencias

The Presidency and the Executive Branch in Latin America: What We Know and What We Need to Know
The presidential politics literature depicts presidents either as all- powerful actors or figureheads and seeks to explain outcomes accordingly. Th e president and the executive branch are nonetheless usually treated as black boxes, particularly i n developing countries, even though the presidency has evolved into an extremely complex branch of government. While these developments have been studied in the U nited States, far less i s known in other countries, particularly in Latin America, where presi dential systems have been considered the source of all goods and evils. To help close the knowledge gap and explore differences in policymaking characteristics not only between Latin America and the US but also across Latin American countries, this paper s ummarizes the vast literature on the organization and resources of the Executive Branch in the Americas and sets a research agenda for the study of Latin American presidencies.Fil: Bonvecchi, Alejandro.
