This paper analyzes the experiences of participation in the strike carried out by students of Unit 071 of the National Pedagogical University of Tuxtla Gutierrez, Chiapas, Mexico. From a reflective approach, the historical memory of the process is recovered from documentary analysis, records of assemblies and marches, as well interviews with students and leaders of the movement. The information was grouped into two blocks: From the pandemic to the student strike. Subjectivation and existential plot; in which the vicissitudes of organization and actions carried out are exposed; and, The word must be worth, which discusses the network of actions, synergies, meetings and disagreements between students to undertake negotiations with educational and governmental authorities. The confluence of other social movements, the mobilization and taking of the streets, contributed to the strike's resolution, which inaugurated an unprecedented experience of struggle and resistance for these students.

This study is an exploratory review about teaching practices at Argentinean public universities published between 2010 and 2019. The sample was constituted by 20 papers. The methodology was qualitative based on content analysis in three axes: work methodology, teaching practices description and characterization of the public university. The results showed a predominance of qualitative methodology, in particular of narrative approach. The aim of studies was teaching practices themselves in most of the papers, followed by directly related issues and, finally, in a few papers teaching practices were part of the aim of the study. Almost all of the papers collected data on public universities, but only a small number included the analysis of the university context in their studies. The results are discussed based on the particularities of university education in the local context. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper we try to analyze some recent and ongoing changes that are taking place in the Uruguayan higher education system. Based on a system historically conditioned by the presence of a single public university, we try to briefly review the changes at this educational level in recent years, hand in hand with different national governments. In a regional scenario of increasing privatization from which Uruguay was apparently on the sidelines at times, we examine the characteristics of some changes that are taking place now and may constitute advances in a certain wave of privatization. We use contributions from the educational field, higher education and public policies and we conclude the text problematizing how novel these changes are and their possible impact given certain national characteristics.

This paper that I share arises as a result of the doctoral thesis "Teacher training in the face of digital culture. The convenient, the desirable, the possible" (2009-2014). The central thesis that supported it was to connect the voice of experts in the field of Educational Technology and teacher training, in the context of Argentine public educational policies. I write this in complex times; times of pandemic, of anguish, sadness and uncertainties. I took the impulse to share it in the face of this context that has made many changes in our daily lives. In parallel, demands, requirements and needs arose before them. I add a passionate voice to the conversation whose hashtag (#) is teacher training in times of change and uncertainties to make hear a series of conceptual constructions building in practices that allow conversation, dialogue, reflection, rethinking the trade and teacher training in our country in times of digital culture.

This paper aims to contribute to the reflections on the conceptions of human rights from which we intervene in our practice in public universities. The look we propose an anchor in the perspective of peoples' rights and their dialogues with Latin American critical pedagogy. The work investigates the integrality of the practices and emphasizes the curricularization of the university extension from the perspective of peoples' rights. It also raises the need to assume the intersectional perspective in human rights pedagogy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Some of us who work at public universities in management posts have a story mainly characterised by teaching, research and extracurricular activities. Engaging in management is carried out by participating in groups chosen for those functions. Many a time, professional training and previous work are not specific enough to accomplish these complex tasks. As to Academic Management, complexities increase due to diiculties in outlining goals and topics that belong to this field in which different actors, scopes and dimensions are involved. his paper results from having worked as Academic Secretary at UNER and from my professional training in pedagogy, specifically in Educational Evaluation. It is my intention to visualize and discuss some issues concerning concepts and practices related to three main features: academic management, institutional policy and public university. I also intend to consider the diiculties inherent in the practices that as individuals we carry out in the public field of university academic management: how we deal with and create these institutionalised tasks and functions in order to include in them the necessary doses of reflective and critical thought. It is my concern to work from evaluation, from creative strategies leading to more communicative and democratic ways of management. It is important to reconsider this field politically and theoretically because we are immersed in Argentina's public university, because it is necessary to preserve its symbolic value as an educational social institution and because academic matters as a group activity demands putting into practice specific skills.
