El Papel de los Abuelos Varones: Un Análisis Comparado de la Sociedad Mejicana y Española
No full textIn analysing the importance of the current roles of grandfathers in the family in Spain and Mexico, this study attempts to deepen knowledge of these roles in two different social contexts which share similar cultural roots. In respect of gender and from a cultural and generational perspective, the research aims to shed light on the figure and role of grandfathers, who have long been overshadowed by their spouses – the grandmothers. As author (2010) and Mann et al. (2013) highlight, changes at both the demographic and social level have contributed to grandfathers playing an increasingly important role in the lives of their grandchildren.It is important to underscore the originality of this research, since little attention has been paid to date to this area of research; indeed, the invisibility of the grandfather’s role almost underpins a false belief in its non-existence. It must also be stressed that this is the first comparative, transnational analysis of this type.The qualitative analysis reveals generational idiosyncratic characteristics among the grandfathers studied here and their own grandfathers, in Mexico and Spain, as well as a change in traditional gender roles, with certain country-specific nuances. In all the cases studied grandfathers interviewed express feeling a state of happiness. In addition, it can be appreciated a perception of a break with the role’s characteristic of the own grandparents.El presente trabajo trata de ahondar en el conocimiento de la dinámica de los abuelos en dos contextos sociales que comparten una raíz cultural (España y México). Los cambios demográficos y sociales han contribuido a un aumento del papel de los abuelos en la vida de sus nietos, pero poca atención se ha prestado hasta la fecha a esta área de investigación. Es importante subrayar la originalidad de este trabajo ya que hasta la fecha se ha prestado escasa atención a su estudio. El análisis de datos primarios desarrollado, basado en la recolección de datos a través de 170 entrevistas en profundidad, revelan la idiosincracia de características generacionales entre los abuelos estudiados aquí y sus propios abuelos, en México y en España, al mismo tiempo permite observar un cambio en los roles tradicionales de género, con ciertos matices específicos de cada país. Los resultados sugieren la presencia de distintos modelos de abuelo que parecen sugerir que el modelo del abuelo ‘patriarcal’ está obsolet
Inicio del Curso de las Universidades Catalanas hacia el Covid-19: la Evidencia frente a la Negligencia
No full textThere is an extensive literature on the importance of the use of scientific evidence on teaching methods in higher education institutions. However, there is a gap in how evidence is used for decision making that affects students and staff in universities. This article is a contribution to the existing gap, making the analysis of a specific case on how Catalan universities have managed the decision making regarding their staff in the face of the pandemic situation with the COVID-19. In this article, through the interview with managers and faculty from different Catalan universities, it will be shown to what extent these university institutions have opted for decision making in the management of the situation based on scientific evidence or simply compliance with government regulations.Existe una amplia literatura sobre la importancia del uso de la evidencia científica en los métodos de enseñanza en las instituciones de educación superior.

Stories and experiences of long-distance care, the case: Israel and Mexico
Get PDFThe aim of this paper is to present the experiences of long-distance care amongst Spanish-speaking immigrant women in Israel and women living in Mexico, and to compare their experiences of care, where geographical distance is the constant variable. The research was carried out through an exploratory, transversal and non-experimental qualitative study, with non-statistical sampling, for continuous inclusion for convenience. The instrument used was an open questionnaire, based on Patton's in-depth interview structure. The main findings show the need to recognize and value the role of the long-distance caregiver in research and support approaches because of the potential impact of migration and caregivers on acculturation, stress experienced by the long-distance caregiver, the support they both may receive in the country of origin and in the country where they live, as well as the family's perception of them in terms of what caregiving means, all through critical analysis perspectives from gender, interculturality and intersectionality. Finally, the stories of the six participating women show important contributions in the care they provide to their sick family member, the primary caregiver and the rest of the family. Also, the experience of long-distance care was not determined by the length of the distance; the feelings and emotions that these women experience are the same, international migration or migration within the country were not determined
The Phenomenon of Leading without Guidebook: Educational Leadership Practices of Philippine School Principals in Virulent COVID-19 Times
Get PDFThe school principals play a pivotal role in leading educational institutions. Their lived experience as educational leaders in the context of a virulent crisis, however, is largely unexplored. This paper sought to discover the essence of educational leadership practices of school principals in the context of the current COVID-19 crisis. Following phenomenology as a research design, the researcher explored the world of six Filipino school principals through interview procedures. The analysis method developed by Colaizzi (1978) was used. The results revealed six emerging themes of educational leadership practices during a crisis as follows: 1.) navigating the crisis with adaptive leadership; 2.) cultivating practices in crisis management; 3.) managing through the machine; 4.) freezing the standards and patterns; 5.) promoting inclusivity in the new normal, and 6.) caring first for what is essential. These themes form the basis of the description and structure of the phenomenon offered at the end of the paper. Considering the present scarcity of knowledge on how school principals respond in times of crisis, this paper provides insights into educational leadership practices within the context of the COVID-19 situatio

Concepciones del Profesorado acerca de los Elementos Curriculares que Presentan los Libros de Texto y los Materiales de Elaboración Docente
Get PDFThe study represents a contribution in the field of notions and practices of teachers in Infant, Primary and Secondary Education regarding curricular materials in the areas of Natural and Social Sciences. Particularly it focuses on the use of teaching materials in relation with curricular elements (key competences, methodology, activities, content, resources and materials, evaluation, and environmental context). A mixed methodology is used based on survey and interview instruments with a sample of 962 Andalusian teachers. The results reveal consensus between the three groups regarding the need to supplement textbooks, considering its limitations in developing key competences and meaningful learning, with other materials to enrich the teaching / learning processes. However, at a methodological level, Infant and Primary teachers consider to a greater degree the role of textbooks in promoting conventional and transmissive teaching practices. The conclusions underpin the need to enhance the curricular competence of teachers and support the design, development and evaluation of curricular materials experienced in classroom practice.El estudio representa una contribución en el campo de las concepciones y prácticas reflexionadas del profesorado de Educación Infantil, Primaria y Secundaria en torno a los materiales curriculares de Ciencias Naturales y Sociales. Se ha indagado acerca de las concepciones docentes relacionadas con los elementos curriculares que proponen los libros de texto y los materiales de elaboración docente. Se utiliza una metodología mixta a partir de instrumentos de encuesta y entrevista con una muestra de 962 docentes andaluces. Entre los resultados se observa que existe homogeneidad entre las concepciones del profesorado de Educación Infantil y Primaria en torno a elementos curriculares que presentan los libros de texto y los materiales de elaboración docente, frente a la opinión del profesorado de Secundaria. Sin embargo, se pone de manifiesto el consenso de los tres grupos de profesorado en torno a la necesidad de complementar los libros de texto con otros materiales para enriquecer los procesos de enseñanza/ aprendizaje. Las conclusiones del estudio evidencian la necesidad de potenciar la competencia curricular del profesorado y apoyar el diseño, desarrollo y evaluación de materiales curriculares experimentados en la práctica de aula
Learning Online amid COVID-19 pandemic: Exploring students' lived experiences
Get PDFThis paper explores the lived experiences of online learning by 2020 first year students in institutions of higher education in South Africa, students with no prior experience of online learning before COVID-19. Using a qualitative approach, a sample of 50 students was interviewed. Findings indicate that students’ online experiences were impacted upon by various factors which resulted in both positive and negative experiences. Factors that impacted learners’ online experiences include those linked both directly and indirectly to technology and learning online. Such factors include online preparedness, lecturer support, student-to-student engagement, flexible learning pathways, connectivity, learning technologies, digital literacy and self-management skills. Generally, students who received proper induction and support from their lecturers and institutions experienced online learning in a positive manner. Some institutions were not prepared for online learning and offered less support to students which affected students’ experiences of online learning. The paper thus argues that there is need for institutions to invest in online learning technologies, for Government to address issues of digital literacy and readiness and ensure that the right infrastructure is available. With the fourth industrial revolution having been fast-tracked by COVID-19, it is prudent to ensure that learners are technologically savvy
History of MeToo University movement in Spain
Get PDFThe precedents of the MeToo University movement, both in USA and Spain, has been led since the 1990s both by people who have taken a stand against sexual harassment in universities. The present study reflects the history of the MeToo University in Spain with an emphasis in the start of organized movement in 2013, also simultaneously with the one organized in the USA. For this purpose, in-depth interviews were conducted with people who led this transformation since its beginnings, as well as with others who have joined recently, in order to learn about the historical scope of this movement from a qualitative approach. Those people have suffered from isolating gender violence for daring to break the silence, being a loudspeaker and putting a name to a problem still silenced in Spanish universities and in the world. The movement has achieved great advances in academic settings, such as the obligation of all universities to have protocols for action in case of sexual harassment or gender violence, the legislation of isolating gender violence, and an unstoppable number of people who come out to tell their cases.Los precedentes del movimiento MeToo Universidad, tanto en EE.UU. como en España, han sido liderados desde la década de los 90 por personas que se han posicionado contra el acoso sexual en las universidades. El presente estudio refleja la historia del MeToo Universidad en España con énfasis en el inicio del movimiento organizado en 2013, también simultáneamente con el organizado en EE.UU. Para ello, se realizaron entrevistas en profundidad a personas que lideraron esta transformación desde sus inicios, así como a otras que se han incorporado recientemente, con el fin de conocer el alcance histórico de este movimiento desde un enfoque cualitativo. Esas personas han sufrido violencia de género aisladora por atreverse a romper el silencio, ser altavoz y poner nombre a un problema aún silenciado en las universidades españolas y en el mundo. El movimiento ha conseguido grandes avances en el ámbito académico, como la obligación de todas las universidades de disponer de protocolos de actuación en caso de acoso sexual o violencia de género, la legislación de la violencia de género aisladora, y un número imparable de personas que están empezando a contar sus casos
