ePortfolio and Service-Learning: A Tale of Two Cities Connected by Two High-Impact Practices
Get PDFTwo different post-secondary professional education programs
from two different cities (New York and Madrid) took a similar approach in
using ePortfolio to facilitate high-impact behaviors (HIBs) among their students
while showing how the ePortfolio enhances and supports other high impact
practices (HIPs). In Madrid, ePortfolio was utilized to support a Matumaini
Project as it integrated the academic work carried out in the classrooms to help
a community in Kenya. On the other side of the Atlantic, the ePortfolio was
implemented in order to connect didactic learning from the classroom to the
clinical practice in the local community. Both case studies suggested that the
ePortfolio combined with other high-impact practices plays a complementary
role with other High-Impact Practices (HIPs) in higher education. Our statistical
analysis sheds light on the relationship between seven high-impact behaviors
present when two high-impact practices are combined. The correlations, both
combined and by city, demonstrate the importance of promoting two highimpact
behaviors in particular, which are: 1) quality interaction between the
students and the professors and 2) providing opportunities to relate academic
learning to real world experiences. When these two high-impact behaviors were
maximized, our data suggest that the use of other high-impact behaviors
examined in this study expanded as well. This research also confirms the
importance of providing students a way to relate their classroom learning with
real-world experiences.Educació
Adolescent psychological strength: relationship to emotional intelligence and values
Get PDFDurante los últimos años, factores protectores de la salud mental como son la inteligencia emocional, los valores y un amplio espectro
de variables de ajuste personal y psicológico, se han convertido en foco principal de investigación. Se plantea este estudio de metodolo gía cuantitativa, no experimental transversal, descriptivo, inferencial y correlacional, cuyo objetivo general es comprobar las relaciones
entre inteligencia emocional, los valores, la autoestima, el optimismo y tolerancia a la frustración en población adolescente. Se recogió
información a través de una muestra de 161 estudiantes de Educación Secundaria de Madrid (España) (M = 14,51; DT = 1,74). De los
resultados obtenidos se observan relaciones positivas entre autoestima, optimismo y tolerancia a la frustración y las variables claridad
emocional, reparación emocional, compromiso social y gratitud. Se confirma el carácter predictivo de gratitud y reconocimiento social
en la autoestima y el optimismo, así como de reparación emocional en el optimismo y la tolerancia a la frustración. Se reafirma la nece sidad de intervenciones programadas en educación emocional, como pieza clave del desarrollo del bienestar personal y psicológico y,
en consecuencia, de una adecuada salud mental adolescenteProtective factors of mental health, such as emotional intelligence, values, and a wide spectrum of variables pertaining to personal and
psychological adjustment, have become a main focus for research in recent years. The general aim of this study, with its quantitative,
non-experimental, cross-sectional, inferential and correlational methodology, was to verify the relationships between emotional intel ligence, values, self-esteem, optimism and frustration tolerance in an adolescent population. Information was collected from a sample
of 161 secondary education students in Madrid (Spain) (age in years: M = 14.51; SD = 1.74). From the results obtained, self-esteem,
optimism and frustration tolerance were observed in positive relationships with the variables emotional clarity, emotional repair, social
commitment and gratitude. Gratitude and social recognition were confirmed as predictors in self-esteem and optimism, as was emo tional repair in optimism and frustration tolerance. The need for programmed interventions in emotional education is reaffirmed as a
key element in the development of personal and psychological well-being and, consequently, of adequate mental health in adolescents.Psicología y Ciencias de la Salu
Social intelligence and psychological distress: subjective and psychological well-being as mediators
Get PDFThe strength named “social intelligence” in the Values in Action (VIA) Classification of Character Strengths and Virtues represents emotional, personal, and social intelligences, which are considered “hot intelligences”. This work contributed to the study of the mechanisms of influence of social intelligence on mental health. A multiple mediation model was proposed to quantify the direct effect of social intelligence on psychopathological symptoms, as well as its indirect effect through its impact on components of subjective and psychological well-being. This study involved 1407 university students who completed the Values in Action Inventory of Strengths (VIA-IS), the Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS), the Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS), the Psychological Well-Being Scales (PWBS), and the Symptom Checklist-90-Revised (SCL-90-R). Social intelligence was found to be significantly associated with life satisfaction (a = 0.33, p < 0.001), positive affect (a = 0.42, p < 0.001), and negative affect (a = −0.21, p < 0.001), transmitting significant indirect effects on psychopathological symptomatology through these components of subjective well-being. Likewise, social intelligence was positively and significantly related to psychological well-being (a-paths ranged from 0.31 to 0.43, p < 0.001), exerting significant and negative indirect effects on psychological distress through the dimension of positive relations with other people. These results could be useful in order to expand the explanatory models of the influence of social intelligence on mental health and to design interventions based on this strength for the promotion of well-being and the reduction in psychological distress.Psicología y Ciencias de la Salu
Emotional intelligence and academic achievement: a developmental model
Get PDFUna de las principales motivaciones de esta investigación fue contribuir a subsanar la falta de instrumentos
diseñados específicamente para la medida de la Inteligencia Emocional (IE) en población infantil.
EMOCINE (emociones a partir de escenas cinematográficas) es un instrumento de medida de la IE basado en
los factores primarios de percepción y comprensión emocional del modelo de habilidad de Mayer y Salovey.
El análisis de clases latentes realizado sobre las puntuaciones obtenidas en una muestra de 776 niñas (48.5%)
y niños (51.5%), con una edad media de 9.2 años (DT=1.4) apoya un modelo evolutivo de tres estadios en el
que hay elementos más básicos, como la percepción emocional, que anteceden a aquellos más complejos
como la comprensión emocional, observándose un mayor rendimiento académico a medida que aumentan
sus puntuaciones en IE. Adicionalmente, las puntuaciones en IE de las niñas fueron consistentemente más
altas que las de los niños.One of the main motivations of this research was to help correct the lack of instruments designed specifically
for the measure for Emotional Intelligence (EI) in children. EMOCINE (emotion in the cinema scenes) is a
measurement instrument of EI based on two of the primary factors considered in Mayer and Saloveys’IE
model: emotional perception and comprehension. The latent class analysis performed on the scores obtained
in a sample of 776 children (48.5% girls and 51.5% boys), with an average age of 9.2 years (SD=1.4)
supports a three-stage evolutionary model in which there are more basic elements, such as emotional
perception, that precede more complex ones, such as emotional comprehension. EI shows, when evaluated
through this measure, a positive relationship with Academic Performance. Additionally, girls 'scores in
perception and emotional comprehension were consistently higher than boys.Educació

El retrato de la primera posguerra en Madrid 1940 (1993) de Francisco Umbral
No full textEste libro examina el franquismo desde el retrovisor, estudiando la representación de la dictadura en las producciones culturales realizadas a partir de la transición democrática. El franquismo instauró profundas transformaciones políticas que definieron los modos de vida de los españoles durante este período. Las obras analizadas en este volumen reflexionan sobre el impacto que la herencia del franquismo ha dejado en la sociedad española y se cuestionan sobre qué parte de este legado ha sido revertida por la democracia y qué parte permanece aún.
Los once capítulos del libro adoptan distintas perspectivas teóricas, que van desde los estudios de la memoria y la posmemoria hasta el uso del espacio, e indagan en diversos géneros artísticos y manifestaciones culturales como la novela, la poesía, el teatro, el cine documental y las series de televisión. Esta diversidad ofrece una visión amplia e interdisciplinar de las representaciones retrospectivas de la dictadura y muestra la riqueza de las reacciones culturales al pasado franquista en la España democrática.Humanidade
2018 Andalusian parliament elections on Instagram: political parties, professional journalism and memes
Get PDFEn un momento en el que las redes sociales tienen un importancia fundamental en la comunicación en todos los contextos y en el que las posibilidades de difusión de información ya no se encuentran en manos de las empresas informativas de forma concentrada, a través de una metodología cuantitativa la investigación analiza las estrategias de comunicación de los partidos políticos concurrentes a las elecciones de 2018 al Parlamento de Andalucía en Instagram así como el papel de los periodistas y de los medios de información en cuanto al engagement obtenido, demostrando que tan sólo el partido VOX desarrolló una estrategia planificada a nivel nacional y que los periodistas individuales logran mayor difusión y generan más engagement que las empresas informativas. Por otro lado, cualquier mensaje en formato meme obtiene más difusión que cualquier otro tipo de mensaje. La investigación presenta como limitación el marco temporal, ya que se centra en una única campaña electoral. Se espera que futuros trabajos analicen nuevas campañas electorales de forma que se puedan refrendar las conclusiones aquí presentadas.Social networks are currently crucial to communication in all contexts and the possibilities for information dissemination are no longer concentrated in the hands of media companies. Hence, using quantitative methodology, the research analyses the communication strategies of the political parties participating in the 2018 elections to the Parliament of Andalusia (Spain) on Instagram, as well as the role of journalists and the media in relation to the engagement obtained. The results show that only the VOX party developed a nationally planned strategy and that individual journalists achieved higher dissemination and generated more engagement than news corporations. On the other hand, any message in meme format received the largest dissemination in comparison with other types of message. The time- frame imposed a limitation on the research as it focused on a single electoral campaign. It is expected that future papers will analyse new electoral campaigns so the conclusions presented here may be endorsed.Comunicació
The Potential of the ePortfolio as a Recruitment Tool: from the Perspective of HR Directors
Get PDFIn this paper, the authors explore the potential of the electronic portfolio (ePortfolio) as a recruitment tool, in particular whether Human Resources directors would be willing to use it during the recruitment and selection process. The ePortfolio presents, documents, reflects on, and fosters students’ skills, credentials, certificates and diverse formal and informal experiences in a structured and well-organized manner. Because the ePortfolio is, by nature, flexible and adaptable, an ePortfolio developed with the help of professors over the course of a students' studies can easily be incorporated into professional networking platforms as a job search tool and showcase the skills required for a successful applicant. It is often said that the difference between what is taught in the academic world and the practical skills that are required by the business sector make it difficult for students to access the labor market. The ePortfolio may help to reconcile both worlds. In order to examine whether Human Resources directors are willing to use an ePortfolio as a recruitment tool, a survey was carried out among fifty-two Human Resources directors. The research findings reveal that an educational ePortfolio can count on significant approval in the business sector. This research study is relevant as it provides valuable information on this topic and it is the only one to date, conducted among HR directors in the context of Spanish-speaking countries.Educació

Could we think about friendship relationships without emotions? the other-oriented emotions
Get PDFWith the purpose of providing conceptual elements to help educators and psychologists in the
development of friendship relationships through emotions, this article a) describes the essential elements
of friendship and b) psychologically analyses its emotional content. The relation between those emotions
and their certain hierarchical nature leads us to pay attention to the presence of other-directed emotions
and other-oriented emotions. We use the analysis of theoretical and applied studies, especially from
emotion and social psychology, which confirm the description of friendship. They appear as emotions
linked to friendship: love, attachment, affinity, self-esteem (its emotional dimension), altruism,
embarrassment, and hope; also, wellness and satisfaction are emotions of friendship. In a negative way,
resentment, envy, susceptibility, jealousy and shyness. Psychology leads to the differentiation, among
others, of emotions that provoke a benefit to oneself (attachment), derived emotions (well-being,
satisfaction), selfless emotions (altruism), emotions that raise the friend (compassion and forgiveness) and
reciprocal emotions (empathy, affinity). Especially love stands out. Its specific notes suggest new studies.
It is recommended, in order to perform a psychological or educational intervention, to promote
selflessness and decentering, as well as the ability to compromise and assume responsibilities, to be able
to have deep friendships.Psicologí
