El trabajo colaborativo: teoría, aplicación y evaluación desde el enfoque socioformativo

En el contexto educativo de diversos países de América Latina e Iberoamérica, es muy frecuente encontrar planteamientos académicos que consideran al trabajo en equipo (Cardona y Wilkinson, 2006; Perrenoud, 2004), el aprendizaje cooperativo (Ferreiro, 2006) y el trabajo colaborativo (Tobón, 2013a), como conceptos cercanos o iguales que tienen las mismas implicaciones metodológicas para su aplicación en las aulas. Sin embargo, considerar dichos procesos didácticos como análogos no es conveniente puesto que cada uno de ellos ha sido planteado desde enfoques educativos distintos y, a su vez, cada enfoque ha buscado responder a las características y necesidades del contexto y momento histórico para el que fueron propuestos (Hernández et al., 2014). Algunos enfoques educativos y psicopedagógicos que se han postulado en el contexto de la sociedad industrial y la sociedad de la información son: el conductismo (Eysenck, 1986; Watson, 1925; Zuriff, 1985; Pérez, Guerrero y López, 2002); la psicología cognitiva (Bruning, Schraw y Ronning, 2002); la enseñanza para la comprensión (Perkins, 1997; Stone, 1999); el aprendizaje significativo (Ausbel, 1976; Díaz, 2003; Moreira, 2005; Woolfolk, 2010); la teoría sociocultural (Chaves, 2001; Vigotsky, 1979, 1981) y el constructivismo (Carretero, 2009; Inhelder y Piaget, 1972); entre otros

Cartografía de la violencia escolar: Experiencias de México y Canadá para gestionar la violencia escolar desde la sustentabilidad

Este artículo analiza, a través de una cartografía conceptual, la violencia escolar y su vinculación con la sustentabilidad para la gestión de la violencia escolar en contextos de México y Canadá. Lo anterior, como parte de las actividades del proyecto Planteles Educativos Sustentables: una comunidad de investigación-acción Norte- Sur (SSHRC:890-2015-1027). Entre las conclusiones se destaca que espacios sustentables como los denominados Jardines por la Paz, que forman parte de dicho proyecto, han propiciado la sensibilización social y ambiental de la comunidad escolar, emergiendo como una propuesta para establecer espacios de convivencia y paz. La conceptualización de la violencia escolar permite identificar estrategias para organizar, gestionar y promover la convivencia y la paz. A partir de lo anterior, surge algo que podría denominarse Metacognición de la violencia escolar, que significa, hacer conciencia de los aprendizajes y las formas como se atiende dicho fenómeno para generar nuevas alternativas en una sociedad del conocimiento cada vez más cambiante

NEOTROPICAL ALIEN MAMMALS: a data set of occurrence and abundance of alien mammals in the Neotropics

Biological invasion is one of the main threats to native biodiversity. For a species to become invasive, it must be voluntarily or involuntarily introduced by humans into a nonnative habitat. Mammals were among first taxa to be introduced worldwide for game, meat, and labor, yet the number of species introduced in the Neotropics remains unknown. In this data set, we make available occurrence and abundance data on mammal species that (1) transposed a geographical barrier and (2) were voluntarily or involuntarily introduced by humans into the Neotropics. Our data set is composed of 73,738 historical and current georeferenced records on alien mammal species of which around 96% correspond to occurrence data on 77 species belonging to eight orders and 26 families. Data cover 26 continental countries in the Neotropics, ranging from Mexico and its frontier regions (southern Florida and coastal-central Florida in the southeast United States) to Argentina, Paraguay, Chile, and Uruguay, and the 13 countries of Caribbean islands. Our data set also includes neotropical species (e.g., Callithrix sp., Myocastor coypus, Nasua nasua) considered alien in particular areas of Neotropics. The most numerous species in terms of records are from Bos sp. (n = 37,782), Sus scrofa (n = 6,730), and Canis familiaris (n = 10,084); 17 species were represented by only one record (e.g., Syncerus caffer, Cervus timorensis, Cervus unicolor, Canis latrans). Primates have the highest number of species in the data set (n = 20 species), partly because of uncertainties regarding taxonomic identification of the genera Callithrix, which includes the species Callithrix aurita, Callithrix flaviceps, Callithrix geoffroyi, Callithrix jacchus, Callithrix kuhlii, Callithrix penicillata, and their hybrids. This unique data set will be a valuable source of information on invasion risk assessments, biodiversity redistribution and conservation-related research. There are no copyright restrictions.

NEOTROPICAL CARNIVORES: a data set on carnivore distribution in the Neotropics

Mammalian carnivores are considered a key group in maintaining ecological health and can indicate potential ecological integrity in landscapes where they occur. Carnivores also hold high conservation value and their habitat requirements can guide management and conservation plans. The order Carnivora has 84 species from 8 families in the Neotropical region: Canidae; Felidae; Mephitidae; Mustelidae; Otariidae; Phocidae; Procyonidae; and Ursidae. Herein, we include published and unpublished data on native terrestrial Neotropical carnivores (Canidae; Felidae; Mephitidae; Mustelidae; Procyonidae; and Ursidae). NEOTROPICAL CARNIVORES is a publicly available data set that includes 99,605 data entries from 35,511 unique georeferenced coordinates. Detection/non-detection and quantitative data were obtained from 1818 to 2018 by researchers, governmental agencies, non-governmental organizations, and private consultants. Data were collected using several methods including camera trapping, museum collections, roadkill, line transect, and opportunistic records. Literature (peer-reviewed and grey literature) from Portuguese, Spanish and English were incorporated in this compilation. Most of the data set consists of detection data entries (n = 79,343; 79.7%) but also includes non-detection data (n = 20,262; 20.3%). Of those, 43.3% also include count data (n = 43,151). The information available in NEOTROPICAL CARNIVORES will contribute to macroecological, ecological, and conservation questions in multiple spatio-temporal perspectives. As carnivores play key roles in trophic interactions, a better understanding of their distribution and habitat requirements are essential to establish conservation management plans and safeguard the future ecological health of Neotropical ecosystems. Our data paper, combined with other large-scale data sets, has great potential to clarify species distribution and related ecological processes within the Neotropics. There are no copyright restrictions and no restriction for using data from this data paper, as long as the data paper is cited as the source of the information used.
