«El sueño del Círculo de Viena», de Karl Sigmund.
No full textEl Círculo de Viena se propuso el idealista objetivo de unificar todo el conocimiento humano en un periodo de tremenda agitación: entre las dos guerras mundiales. Ambición idealista para tiempos convulsos. La editorial Shackleton recupera la historia del Círculo de Viena y del movimiento filosófico que originó: el positivismo lógico. En el prólogo a El sueño del Círculo de Viena, de Karl Sigmund, explica su autor, el polímata Douglas Hofstadter, cómo nació su interés, su fascinación, por aquel extraordinario grupo de personas cuando en una librería, de la mano de su padre, descubrió el libro titulado El teorema de Gödel de Ernest Nagel y James R. Newman. Le sorprendieron esas páginas donde se hablaba «de lógica, de la naturaleza de las matemáticas, del lenguaje y de símbolos, de verdad y falsedad, de demostraciones sobre probabilidad y, quizá lo mejor de todo, de paradojas y enunciados autorreferentes. Todos estos temas me atraían de un modo alucinante»
Lucia Berlin: «Una nueva vida».
Full text linkSegún Nazareth Echart, «la literatura de Lucia Berlin destila vitalidad, delicadeza, emoción, hondura, ternura y autenticidad». «Una nueva vida» recoge cuentos, artículos, ensayos y diarios de Lucia Berlín, una autora que, a pesar de no haber recibido el reconocimiento que merecía durante su vida, nunca dejó de vivir en compañía de la escritura. «1936-1940. Lucia Barbara Brown, primera hija de Wendell Theodore (Ted) Brown y Mary Ella Magruder Brown, nace en Juneau, Alaska, el 12 de noviembre de 1936. Cinco meses después, el trabajo de Ted como ingeniero de minas los llevará primero a Wallace, Idaho, y de ahí a diversos destinos durante los cuatro años siguientes, saltando por todo el país a otros campamentos mineros de Idaho, Montana, Washington y Kentucky; volverán a menudo a El Paso, Texas, a pasar temporadas con los padres de Mary: el doctor H.A. Magruder y su esposa Mamie». Estas líneas preludian la sucesión constante de movimientos, traslados y cambios de hogar que va a caracterizar la vida de Lucia Berlin (así, sin acentos)
Spanish Validation of the scale for gifted students, Gifted Rating Scales (GRS 2-S) School Form, for Teachers
Full text linkThis paper deals with the first study on the construct validity of the GRS 2 Rating Scale for Teachers in Spain, on a sample of 348 subjects. A confirmatory factorial study, CFA, was carried out using robust least squares estimation procedures (WLSMV). A sixfactor structure has been selected that explains 66% of the variance. The fit indices of the model are satisfactory (CFI, .93; TLI, .93). Convergent validity (AVE, .66) and composite reliability (between .87 and .96) are adequate. This scale is the first validated in Spain and provides a relevant measure for the identification of high ability students.En este trabajo se aborda el primer estudio sobre la validez de constructo de la Escala de Detección para profesores GRS 2 en España, sobre una muestra de 348 sujetos.

Building Scientific Knowledge in English: Integrating Content, Cognition and Communication in Secondary School CLIL Biology
Full text linkBackground: The focus of this paper is on Dalton-Puffer’s construct of the Cognitive Discourse Function (cdf) (2013), which offers clil teachers a practical framework through which they can more easily understand the complex idea of integrating the content, cognition, and language required for their subject. These functions have mainly been addressed from classroom observations or task prompts, and little is known about their teachability and effectiveness on students’ content knowledge.
Purpose: This paper explores whether the cdf of ‘comparing’ (a subcategory of ‘classify’) can be taught to Spanish seventh-grade clil biology students (N = 37) and examines the effect of teaching it explicitly on their written performance.
Method: An operational framework was developed to define this cdf and an exploratory study was performed in which students were asked to hand in written comparisons. Quantitative and qualitative pre-and post-tests were applied.
Results: Significant results were obtained for the experimental groups, which improved in both content and language learning, scoring higher on inclusion of content points, justification of their scientific claims, concept formation and use of lexico-grammatical forms.
Conclusion: These findings add to our understanding of the importance of integrating cognition and language in teaching and learning natural sciences, within which CDFs can be a useful starting point
Optimizing green knowledge acquisition through entrepreneurial orientation and resource orchestration for sustainable business performance
Full text linkPurpose: Considering the importance of green knowledge in firms' sustainability, this study investigates the mediating mechanism of green knowledge acquisition (GKA) and the moderating role of resource orchestration capability (ROC) in the relationship between green entrepreneurial orientation (GEO) and corporate sustainable performance (CSP).
Design/methodology/approach: Using a sample of 388 executives from 195 small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the UAE, this study used partial least squares structural equation modelling to examine the proposed relationships among the constructs.
Findings: The research shows that GEO affects CSP's environmental, economic, and social aspects of CSP. This study also highlights the mediating role of GKA in the relationship between GEO and CSP. The moderated mediation analysis results indicate that when ROC is elevated, GEO's indirect influence on environmental and economic performance through GKA is more pronounced.
Practical implications: This study provides useful insights and a novel approach for manufacturing industries and authoritative bodies to alleviate environmental deterioration and improve CSP by encouraging GKA through green entrepreneurship.
Originality/value: This study enriches the existing literature on GEO, GKA, and CSP by focusing on environmental challenges and applying the resource-based view (RBV) framework. The study's findings broaden the theoretical basis for green entrepreneurship, provide guidance on enhancing CSP in manufacturing firms, and advance green entrepreneurship research
Heritage Education of Memory: Gamification to Raise Awareness of the Cultural Heritage of War
Full text linkThis study focused on the use of gamification, specifically the UrbanGame activity, to enhance heritage education related to the bombings of the Spanish Civil War in Alicante. The research aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of active methodologies in raising cultural heritage awareness among university students, particularly those in primary and secondary teacher training programs. The methods included the design and implementation of the UrbanGame, followed by surveys to collect quantitative and qualitative data on students’ perceptions, satisfaction, and learning outcomes. The results indicated that meaningful learning showed a positive trend towards content comprehension, and that motivation and concentration significantly influenced learning outcomes. Additionally, the UrbanGame activity promoted memory and cultural heritage by emotionally connecting students with local history, providing future teachers with innovative pedagogical tools for their teaching
Fuentes, J. L., Fernández-Salinero, C. y Ahedo, J. (Coords.) (2022). Democracia y tradición en la teoría y práctica educativa del siglo XXI. Madrid, Narcea, 180 pp.
Full text linkEn los ocho capítulos en que está estructurada la exposición del presente libro se dan cita las aportaciones de diecisiete autores. En lo tocante al marco histórico en el que se sitúa esta obra, su pertinencia se manifiesta en que trata de explicar la actual crisis de las democracias liberales y cómo, desde la educación,
pueden ofrecerse elementos de reconducción de la situación. Con respecto al clima político y espiritual contemporáneo, el panorama frente al cual se reacciona es el caracterizado, en palabras de Gonzalo Jover Olmeda (que prologa esta publicación de Narcea), por un ambiente en el que “el carácter de los ciudadanos […] ha experimentado una merma progresiva de su competencia ética y política, reduciendo así su potencial para afrontar el reto democrático” (p. 10). Por último, desde el punto de vista bibliográfico relativo al campo específico de los estudios sobre educación, el contexto es el del renacer de la investigación académica sobre la educación moral y del carácter, con contribuciones dispares, contrapuestas en ocasiones, y producidas
desde variadas sensibilidades
Self-perception of dual career barriers and athletic identity in student-athletes with disabilities according to disability type and level of professionalization
Full text linkThe objective of this study was to analyze the perceived barriers to dual career success and athletic identity of student-athletes according to disability type and level of professionalization. The final sample consisted of 203 student-athletes with disabilities from five European countries. The questionnaires used were ESTPORT, EBBS and AIMS. Depending on disability type, it was found that student-athletes with hearing and physical impairment showed the highest difficulty in reconciling sports and studies (p = 0.001); that student-athletes with a hearing impairment showed the highest score in the barrier ‘the cost of education is high’ (p = 0.023); that student-athletes with a physical impairment had the highest scores in the barrier ‘Exercise tires me’ (p = 0.013); that student-athletes with cerebral palsy showed the highest scores in the barrier ‘I do not have enough university/educational institution support’ (p = 0.014) and ‘Exercise facilities do not have convenient timetables for me’ (p = 0.001). Depending on sports professionalization level, semi-professional student-athletes showed the highest values in the barrier ‘the university/educational institution is far from my training center’ (p = 0.040); while professional student-athletes had the highest score in the barrier ‘exercise takes too much time from family responsibilities’ (p = 0.034). In most of the variables related to identity as athletes, professional student-athletes showed the highest values, followed by semi-professional athletes (p = 0.043- < 0.001). In conclusion, the self-perception of barriers is quite relevant, with differences arising from disability type and level of professionalization, whereas the identity as an athlete is only different according to the level of professionalization
Images of the community from Nietzsche’s thought
Full text linkThis article explores the idea of community in Nietzsche. This idea is not easily defined in his philosophy, which we consider to be an intentionally sought characteristic of his writing. What we propose, therefore, are images of the community from Nietzsche’s thought, possible interpretations of how the community could be thought from his philosophy. All these images have characteristics that go against the common conception of the community. It is not intended in this article to settle the issue but to enliven the reading and imagination of future interpreters of Nietzsche. The names we have given to our images are: the Landauerian community, the freak-show, the feast, the failed community, and the human-animal community.El presente artículo explora la idea de la comunidad en Nietzsche. Esta idea no es fácilmente delimitable en su filosofía, lo que consideramos una característica buscada intencionadamente en su escritura. Lo que proponemos, por tanto, son imágenes de la comunidad a partir de Nietzsche, interpretaciones posibles de lo que la comunidad podría ser pensada desde su filosofía. Todas estas imágenes tienen características que atentan contra la concepción común de la comunidad. No se pretende en el presente artículo zanjar la cuestión sino avivar la lectura y la imaginación de los futuros intérpretes de Nietzsche. Los nombres que hemos dado a nuestras imágenes son: la comunidad landaueriana, el freak-show, la fiesta, la comunidad fracasada y la comunidad humano-anima
