La nueva década inició llena de retos para la humanidad: un 2020 que aparece con una pandemia a raíz del COVID-19 devela las debilidades sociales, políticas, de salud, de trabajo y educación, un problema estructural para el que no estaban preparadas las sociedades, pero que también hace visible las potencialidades de las instituciones de educación superior como la UNAD, la más grande entre públicas y privad...
Este libro recoge una selección de los aportes surgidos en el Segundo Congreso Internacional organizado por Inred – Empoderados con el trabajo enredes, un espacio de divulgación y de diálogo en el que confluyen la comunidad académica, científicos, el Gobierno y el sector privado. En esta ocasión se abordan los problemas, los debates y las nuevas propuestas para atender los desafíos del desarrollo rural en un escenario de posconflicto, un contexto que abre oportunidades, pero que a la vez plantea enormes retos en un sector tradicionalmente olvidado e infravalorado por el centro político, económico y social del país. Aquí se recogen experiencias y propuestas en torno al desarrollo humano y los problemas sociales en las comunidades campesinas; el desarrollo rural sostenible; el papel de las iniciativas privadas y el mercado en el desarrollo rural, entre otros temas.

By using familiar concepts from classical measurement methods and basic statistics, this book introduces the basics of item response theory (IRT) and explains the application of IRT methods to problems in test construction, identification of potentially biased test items, test equating and computerized-adaptive testing. The book also includes a thorough discussion of alternative procedures for estimating IRT parameters and concludes with an exploration of new directions in IRT research and development.
Who shapes the European Union's policy towards Latin America? How has this EU policy modified individual member states' relations with the region? This book provides a comparative account of seven member states' bilateral links with Latin America since 1945, in the context of their EU membership and based on the concept of 'Europeanization'. It illustrates how and why the main architects of this EU policy have been Spain and Germany. In contrast, Poland, Sweden and Ireland, which had little previous interaction with Latin America, have developed their current relations with that region virtually as a result of their EU membership. The United Kingdom and France lie in the middle: they have been influential in certain policy-areas and key periods in history, while they have adapted to what is done at the EU level in others. Practitioners, established academic experts as well emerging scholars in the field bring to be bear a novel combination of pioneering research and cutting edge conceptual analysis on this important but neglected area of the EU's foreign relations.
Transitions from authoritarian to democratic governments can provide ripe scenarios for the emergence of new, insurgent political actors and causes. During peaceful transitions, such movements may become influential political players and gain representation for previously neglected interests and sectors of the population. But for this to happen, insurgent social movements need opportunities for mobilization, success, and survival. This book looks at Mexico's Zapatista movement, and why the movement was able to mobilize sympathy and support for the indigenous agenda inside and outside of the country, yet failed to achieve their goals vis-à-vis the Mexican state.
This book explores how belonging differs based on students’ social identities, such as race, gender, sexual orientation, or the conditions they encounter on campus. Belonging—with peers, in the classroom, or on campus—is a critical dimension of success at college. It can affect a student’s degree of academic adjustment, achievement, aspirations, or even whether a student stays in school. The 2nd Edition of College Students’ Sense of Belonging explores student sub-populations and campus environments, offering readers updated information about sense of belonging, how it develops for students, and a conceptual model for helping students belong and thrive. Underpinned by theory and res...
