En cada uno de los capítulos que conforman este libro se da cuenta del marco conceptual de la tesis del alumno, que aparece como primer autor, seguido del director del proyecto y de algún miembro del comité tutorial. Esta triada de autores representa una excelente estrategia que contribuye a fortalecer la formación de los doctorandos, toda vez que les permite iniciarse (en la mayoría de los casos) en el mundo de las publicaciones académicas, con el respaldo, asesoramiento y guía de sus mentores, mucho más avezados y experimentados en estas lides. Además, esta forma de organizarse al interior del programa doctoral favorece la promoción de una cultura de colaboración y colegialidad ...
Estamos ante una obra colectiva que invita a replantear preguntas y a generar nuevas respuestas sobre procesos de inclusión en espacios educativos. ¿Por qué es necesario hablar de inclusión desde la universidad? ¿Qué se necesita para lograr accesibilidad para estudiantes con ceguera, debilidad visual o sordera? ¿Qué tipo de acciones son viables para instrumentar la perspectiva de género? ¿Cómo se puede garantizar la inclusión de las personas trans? ¿Cómo se aseguran espacios libres de violencia? ¿Es posible proveer las condiciones de atención al estudiantado con vulnerabilidad mental, emocional, económica o cultural? Estas y otras preguntas son respondidas en un libro que da cuerpo, figura y nombre a todas aquellas vivencias, experiencias universitarias y actividades que acompañan la trayectoria escolar de las y los estudiantes durante su formación profesional. Estos cuestionamientos visibilizan una realidad y un discurso que requieren ser integrados de manera urgente en la discusión académica, desde donde es y debe ser posible la acción pedagógica que incluya a todas y todos.
Over the last three decades, a significant amount of research has sought to relate educational institutions, policies, practices and reforms to social structures and agencies. A number of models have been developed that have become the basis for attempting to understand the complex relation between education and society. At the same time, national and international bodies tasked with improving educational performances seem to be writing in a void, in that there is no rigorous theory guiding their work, and their documents exhibit few references to groups, institutions and forces that can impede or promote their programmes and projects. As a result, the recommendations these bodies provide to...
"What Is Life?" is Nobel laureate Erwin Schrödinger's exploration of the question which lies at the heart of biology. His essay, "Mind and Matter," investigates what place consciousness occupies in the evolution of life, and what part the state of development of the human mind plays in moral questions. "Autobiographical Sketches" offers a fascinating fragmentary account of his life as a background to his scientific writings.
For courses in Learning Strategies, First-Year Seminar, and Study Skills. Using a broad-based approach to college success that is grounded in current theory and research in cognitive and motivational psychology, this text shows students how skill AND will are both necessary for success in learning in college and throughout life. Strategy-based rather than learning-style based, it takes students from where they are currently on the skill-will continuum (high skill, low will; low skill, high will; low skill, low will; or high skill, high will), helps them develop a variety of learning strategies, tells them when to use them, and explains how to generate the energy, desire, and self-confidence to make those strategies work for them. Multiple assessments throughout help students evaluate their progress, and hands-on activities allow them to try out new strategies. Increased coverage of Life Skills is new to this edition.

It was customary for the wife of a nobleman in eighteenth-century Spain to be courted fervently and seemingly forever, by a man who was not her husband. This liaison, accepted and even encouraged by the husband, was presumably platonic, though that may not always have been the case. It was carried on according to a complex, if ambiguous, code of companionship and whispered conversation. With the help of a lively blend of archival documents and literary sources, Carmen Martín Gaite admits us to the intricacies of the code and unravels its significance for the women who enjoyed the attention of a cortejo, or escort. Why was the cortejo tolerated, by society and by the woman's aristocratic fam...
The most comprehensive and authoritative book in its field, this edition has been extensively revised and updated. This book is intended for anyone who develops test items for large-scale assessments, as well as teachers and graduate students who de
The electric power delivery system that carries electricity from large central generators to customers could be severely damaged by a small number of well-informed attackers. The system is inherently vulnerable because transmission lines may span hundreds of miles, and many key facilities are unguarded. This vulnerability is exacerbated by the fact that the power grid, most of which was originally designed to meet the needs of individual vertically integrated utilities, is being used to move power between regions to support the needs of competitive markets for power generation. Primarily because of ambiguities introduced as a result of recent restricting the of the industry and cost pressure...
This volume reflects current research on the cognitive strategies of autonomous learning. Topics such as metacognition, attribution theory, self-efficacy, direct instruction, attention, and problem solving are discussed by leading researchers in learning and study strategies. The contributors to this volume acknowledge and address the concerns of educators at the primary, secondary, and postsecondary school levels. The blend of theory and practice is an important feature of this volume.
