Al mismo tiempo que plantea el estado de la cuestión, ofrece sugerencias y propuestas para optimizar su intervención.

Su dimensión descriptiva, la exposición clara y sus aportaciones novedosas lo hacen recomendable para los profesionales de la psicopedagogía, así como para los tutores y profesores. Las administraciones educativas pueden encontrar en él un eslabón importante para realizar el difícil nexo entre lo formativo y la realidad.
The methodology of Learning Based on Problems (ABP) is an innovation in Higher Education that is used for teaching in diverse fields of knowledge and frequently, for the work of certain professional competencies in a university student's profile. The ABP tries to build collaborative learning communities using real problems. The present book introduces the fundamental bases of this methodology through its didactic-pedagogical principles and the most current proposals. The individual modality - self-regulated learning, and the group modality - collaborative learning, are presented in the application of this methodology. At the same time, the tutor's or group facilitator's important role is studied in the Learning Based on Problems. The more appropriate appraisals for this methodology are also studied as well as the advantages and difficulties in the application of this innovative learning in Higher Educational ambience. The book offers a series of practical cases experimented in different university subjects.

Roving vigilantes, fear-mongering politicians, hysterical pundits, and the looming shadow of a seven hundred-mile-long fence: the US–Mexican border is one of the most complex and dynamic areas on the planet today. Hyperborder provides the most nuanced portrait yet of this dynamic region. Author Fernando Romero presents a multidisciplinary perspective informed by interviews with numerous academics, researchers, and organizations. Provocatively designed in the style of other kinetic large-scale studies like Rem Koolhaas's Content and Bruce Mau’s Massive Change, Hyperborder is an exhaustively researched report from the front lines of the border debate.

This monograph provides a scholarly and comprehensive record of the history of Mexican Los Angeles, founded as a Spanish pueblo in 1781. Two centuries of history are covered from both a social and cultural perspective and are highlighted with more than 150 illustrations, photographs, and maps. Chapters focus on the city's Native American prehistory, early exploration, varied accounts of the founding of the city in 1781, and family portraits and chronology of the early years. Other chapters detail the growth, prosperity, and conflict of the Mexican national years; initial accommodations enabling cultural maintenance and community isolation; and development of the 20th-century Spanish press and new barrios of the early 1900s. Chapters also discuss changes during the depression and war years and the recent assertion of the city's Mexican community as a cultural and political force. Facts are carefully documented in each chapter and sources are cited in a 256-item bibliography. (NEC)
