Why, and what for, schools accept to be sites of practices for pedagogy career?: Perspectives from school administrators

El presente estudio examina por qué y para qué propósitos los docentes directivos de los centros escolares aceptan que estos se constituyan en un centro de práctica para los programas de formación inicial de docentes. A través de una encuesta a 172 directores de centros escolares o jefes de la Unidad Técnico-Pedagógica de 91 escuelas que sirvieron de centro de práctica para cinco universidades de Chile, se detectó que estos directores esperaban, principalmente, lograr dos propósitos: contribuir a la preparación de nuevos profesores y obtener recursos adicionales para apoyar a los maestros y a los estudiantes. Estos resultados se discuten a la luz de las teorías actuales para problematizar las condiciones que posibilitan cumplir estos objetivos

The current study examined why and for what purposes schools administrators agreed to collaborate with teacher education institutions by accepting that their schools become a preparation site. A survey was administered to 172 school principals and curriculum coordinators from 91 schools that had received preservice teachers. Contributing to the preparation of new teachers and obtaining additional resources to support teachers and students were the two main reasons offered by the participants. The extent to which these administrators´ goals may be fulfilled by initial teacher preparation is discussed in light of current theories

TOWARDS A PEDAGOGY OF TEACHER PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT: MODELS OF CONTINUING EDUCATION AND TEACHERS’ NEEDS FOR TRAINING

El desarrollo profesional de los docentes es un tema clave sobre el cual se viene insistiendo desde las políticas educativas y desde la bibliografía especializada. No obstante, la investigación con base empírica y el análisis de los modelos pedagógicos que subyacen a las actividades de formación todavía es incipiente. Este artículo se propone avanzar en ese sentido. Primero, se precisa la noción de modelos de desarrollo profesional y la importancia de su revisión. Luego se discuten dos grandes modelos y diferentes clasificaciones realizadas por los expertos. Segundo, se presentan resultados provenientes de dos investigaciones con la intención de recuperar las voces y las perspectivas de los docentes sobre su desarrollo profesional. Finalmente se exponen algunas tesis para comprender los nudos críticos que enfrenta la formación permanente del profesorado

Teachers´ professional development is a recurrent topic discussed by educational politics and by specialized bibliography. Nevertheless, the empirical research and the pedagogical models which underlie the teaching training practices are just beginning. This article suggests making a progress in this sense. Firstly, it is presented the notion of professional development models and the importance of their revision. Then, two important models and different classifications made by experts are discussed. Secondly, results from two researches are presented with the intention of recovering teachers´ voices and their views on their own professional development. Finally, some theses are exposed in order to understand the critical points which are to be faced during the professional development

EDUCATION OF THE HUMANITIES IN THE MEDICINE CAREER: REFLECTIONS FROM AN ANTHROPOLOGICAL PERSPECTIVE

La enseñanza de humanidades en Medicina propone sensibilizar a los estudiantes sobre las dimensiones sociales y culturales del fenómeno salud-enfermedad. En este artículo se recuperan, en un tono reflexivo, discusiones principales en torno a la educación y al concepto de humanidades médicas, especialmente con respecto a su inserción curricular en la educación médica. El conocimiento de los trabajos realizados en facultades de medicina regionales es un punto de partida para la discusión y el análisis de la experiencia uruguaya

Teaching humanities in Medicine aims to sensitize students about the social and cultural dimensions of health and disease. Here, relevant discussions about teaching medical humanities are considered, in a reflective tone, especially with regard to its insertion in medical education curriculum. Knowledge of the work in regional medical schools can be a useful starting point for the discussion and analysis of the Uruguayan experience

Education in civic virtues, gender and the family

Este artículo muestra cómo las teorías predominantes mainstream de diseño institucional siguen desatendiendo la diferencia sexual al referirse a los individuos que habitan, actúan y encarnan virtudes en instituciones que estructuran sus vidas y cómo esto repercute en el modo en que los individuos se comprometen (o no) con dichas instituciones. En primer lugar, para llevar a cabo este análisis, me detengo en la familia, institución que construye y moldea el comportamiento de los sexos; luego presento algunas posturas feministas en los debates en torno a la familia y las virtudes cívicas, con ejemplos en el caso uruguayo. A consecuencia de consideraciones que surgen de estos debates, por último, me refiero brevemente a las posibilidades de rediseño insitucional

This paper shows that mainstream institutional theories fail to attend to sexual difference when analyzing the manner in which individuals inhabit, act within and are treated by the institutions that structure their lives. Firstly, the article analyzes the institution of the family which constructs and shapes the behavior of both sexes. Secondly, outlines some feminist perspectives regarding debates about the family and the civic virtues providing some examples in the uruguayan case. I will finally refer to the possibility of reshaping institutions taking into account some considerations that emerge from these debates
