The aim of this paper is to analyze in ethnographic terms (Rockwell 2008, 2013; Woods, 1987) certain aspects of a school experience carried out from the subject Language and Literature Practices in a second year of high school in Argentina. The main purpose of this experience was to gradually improve students' writing practices. It was a project in which students had to design an audiobook. This project presented distinctive moments: reading the genre, writing and production. Although we will mention each of these moments, in this paper, we will focus on the writing moment to corroborate the effectiveness of a method (of our own invention) called fragmented slogans and a particular way of working called collaborative writing (CD) (Álvarez & Bassa, 2013). In order to account for the proposed method and way of working, we will analyze the teaching and learning strategies and highlight certain roles established by the students and the teacher during the activity.

This paper analyzes the Argentinian technical school, from one of its training devices for work: the professionalizing practices and their reconfiguration during pandemic. Its aim is to understand the meanings of the world of work that these practices promote from the analysis of interviews made to jurisdictional directors from two provinces of the Argentine Republic, and from school regulations produced during pandemic. A predominance of simulation and project design as didactic proposals is evident, the theory-practice relationship is discussed, and diverse worlds of work are enabled in relation to the articulations of the actors' interactions being promoted.

The writing of a Thesis constitutes a challenge for postgraduate training as it demands a high degree of complexity in the conceptualization and integration of knowledge. For this reason, in recent years the offer of writing workshops for this textual type has grown considerably. However, although the possibilities offered by new technologies to enhance this type of pedagogical intervention have recently begun to be studied, there are few cases in Argentina of support of thesis writing in virtual environments. In this context, we present an experience carried out at the National University of Comahue, in which, due to last year's compulsory social confinement, we designed and implemented a workshop for Thesis writing through our university's platform. In this paper, we will show central aspects of this experience in which technology has largely shaped pedagogical practice through the implementation of activities in personal and collaborative learning environments. The results obtained seem to indicate that dialogue, justification, and both metacognitive and metalinguistic reflection on the students' own production and that of others in the virtual scenario facilitate the identification of obstacles and strategies to face them.

In recent years, the topics of insecurity, juvenile delinquency and criminal responsibility of minors appeared in numerous times at the written press in Argentina through diverse genres such as the newspaper article, the report, the opinion article or the editorial. In this paper, which takes part in a wider research carried out under the direction of Mg. Claudia Gaiotti in the framework of the Diplomatura en Ciencias del Lenguaje (I.S.P. "Dr. Joaquín V. González"), we propose a discursive approach of an opinion article about the Juvenile Justice Reform Project in Argentina, recently published in a national print media, from the francophone Discourse Analysis perspective. To accomplish this, we focus on the discursive analysis of the concessive argumentative connectives. We propose as a hypothesis that the concession introduced by argumentative connectives constitutes a discursive marker through which it is possible to recognize the locutor identities and the alterity voices. In other words, in the analysed article, the argumentative connectives related to the concession could be interpreted as a polyphonic-dialogical marker. As a continuation of this discursive analysis, we elaborate a pedagogical material oriented towards the teaching of the argumentation as a way of discourse organization at the secondary school subject Language and Literature. In this way, this article presents a dual objective: to characterize the discursive functioning of the concessive argumentative connectives and to elaborate a pedagogical projection of such issue dedicated to the secondary level.

In this paper, the notion of mother as a concept of contingent and changing over the time will be approached. We will analyze school textbooks as objects that promoted the circulation of senses towards motherhood in two historical moments, exploring particularities of this material's contexts of production. Convergences and specific features that have been detected in both periods of time are pointed out. This treatment will allow us to recognize continuities and ruptures in the discourses about motherhood that have been transmitted through textbooks. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The purpose of this paper is to dialogue, to stress and to reflect upon education at secondary school, rurality, and community processes within different state areas, and about the compliance of the right to education in rural environments. We will show different school experiences that display unique management approaches, as is the case of a rural alternating agricultural school located in the province of Corrientes (Argentine Republic), an Agricultural Family School (EFA). The chosen EFA represents an experience of community organization, facing the lack of possibilities of secondary education in the rural area. The process of formation and construction of the space of this particular school crystalizes and brings clues about the collective history and the arguments that accompany it. We found in the school space hints of social organization and construction of other ways "of making and being school". [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article aims to account for the relationships between the development of the children's political knowledge and the social practices in which they participate. In order to achieve this objective, the following paper examines a series of psychogenetic studies carried out since the end of the 80's in Buenos Aires in school environment, on the political ideas that children and adolescents construct about the national government and the presidential function. This analysis is elaborated in the light of another very recent research, of anthropological orientation and ethnographic perspective, where it is studied the political knowledge elaborated by children and young people who participate in community practices and inhabit houses as illegal tenants in the same city. In this way, a critical comparison is established between these investigations, which centrally includes the methodological aspects, as well as the scope of the results, for a conceptual re-elaboration around the study of the processes of knowledge construction in the political field.
