    Los resultados obtenidos han derivado en conclusiones tales como la necesidad de expresión que la adolescencia desarrolla mediante la propia apariencia, así como la búsqueda de identidad y necesidad de grupo; la gran influencia que tienen los medios de comunicación y redes sociales en la definición de la personalidad adolescente; y cómo, mediante la empatía y el conocimiento de las preferencias culturales de cada joven —en este caso relacionadas con el sistema de la moda y su cultura visual— se puede acceder al establecimiento de un vínculo de confianza entre el profesorado y el alumnado que permita resolver posibles conflictos que se observen en el aula. Desde esta perspectiva cabe destacar el papel que la educación artística tiene, a través de cualquier ámbito que fomente el conocimiento de la identidad adolescente y se pretende, concretamente con esta investigación, la puesta en valor de las posibilidades que ofrece el sistema de la moda para la educación artística, ya que se trata de un tema común a la realidad de la juventud actual.The conclusions of this research are the value of express the own appearance during the adolescence, the search of the identity and the need of the grupal acceptance, the great influence that the media and social media have on Young people, and how teachers could create a bond of trust with their students through empathy and knowledge of the cultural preferences of each young person —in this case related to the fashion system and their visual culture — allowing to resolve possible conflicts that could be observed in the classroom. From this perspective, it is important to appreciate the artistic education to know the adolescent identity, and to value the possibilities of the fashion system as a field of the artistic education, because it is related to the reality of every adolescent.Tesis Univ.

    Mapping the Discipline of the Olympic Games An Author-Cocitation Analysis

    Get PDF
    The authors conducted an author cocitation analysis on prominent authors writing about the Olympics during the 1990s. Author cocitation is an established bibliometric technique that can be used to measure the relative similarities of topics written about by the cited authors. This enables a visual representation of the “intellectual space” of the discipline, in this case the Olympics, to be created for the period under review. So core and peripheral research areas are identified, along with their major contributors. The representation appears as a two-dimensional cluster-enhanced map. Subject expertise was then applied to the results to place labels on the generated clusters of authors and their topics
