In this paper we analyse the expectations regarding university studies and career choice of first-generation university students and graduates. Our interest in this particular population is due to the fact that they are atypical cases. The theoretical perspective is the relationship with knowledge and dispositionalist and contextualist sociology. The methodology is qualitative and we used in-depth interviews with a sample of 35 students from three degree courses at the National University of La Plata. The families and the school experience were central in the construction of expectations, while the choice of career was defined on the basis of the transit through secondary school, in the university experience itself as well as in other non-school environments.

The incorporation of gamification strategies in teaching has been described as a tool to increase the motivation and engagement of students with the subject. Under this premise, an educational innovation experience has been developed using the Kahoot! platform in the first and last laboratory practice of the Cell Biology course of the Biology degree. The participants were 135 students divided into 12 laboratory groups, which were divided into experimental and control groups. All groups solved a questionnaire on paper about the concepts explained in class, at the end of both practices (post-test), but only the experimental groups solved a questionnaire before the class (pre-test). Before the first practice, students in the experimental groups answered the pre-test using Kahoot! However, for the last practice, some groups solved it by playing Kahoot! and others with pen and paper. The results showed that those students who were selected to play Kahoot! obtained a higher number of correct answers in the test performed after the practical session (post-test) than those who did not solve any pretest or who did it in a classical way. Therefore, our results suggest that implementing gamification in teaching considerably increases student motivation, probably due to physiological changes experienced by the brain during the game and the creation of a positive climate, which facilitates the learning process.

This paper argues the origins of research in chemical sciences at the University of Orient, and the first chemical degree course in Cuba. The peculiar origin of the career, as a consequence of the orientation to research towards basic science, promoted by Dr. H. Harry Szmant from whiting the career of Industrial Chemical Engineering, is demonstrated. The creation, purposes and evolution of the Chemical Research Center at the Universidad de Oriente are analized. It is argued that the early decision to organize the Chemistry Conference in 1964, the first on the country, arose from identifying the need to divulgate the results and promote exchange among scientists, It is shown that this event served as platform for the creation of the Cuban Society of Chemistry and the Cuban Journal of Chemistry.

This article analyzes the role of women in communication research. It does so by studying their presence/absence in the bibliographies of the syllabus of 108 theoretical courses of journalism degrees taught in 36 colleges in Spain during the 2020-2021 academic year. The work investigates the roles and presences of women in the field of communication, measuring the degree of visibility of women scientists and their contributions in a statistical and comparative way to that of male researchers, quantifying the citation patterns according to the gender of the authors. The data were analyzed with the free statistical software R (version 4.0.3) and a descriptive and inferential analysis was performed. The main results regarding the citation patterns of the research are: 1) an under-citation of publications written by female scientists; 2) an over-citation of publications by male researchers; and 3) the nonexistence of gender homophily (researchers do not tend to cite more authors of their same gender), since female authors are little cited and this low visibility is due to both female and male faculty members. The most referenced author is Elizabeth Noelle-Neumann, one of the few "classics" present, indicating a Matilda effect regarding the historical erasure of female contributions. In conclusion, the paper argues for the need to transform not only citation practices, but an entire scientific culture that denies women as a source of reference and authority from the early stages of university education.

Universities are training contexts with special characteristics, some of which are now undergoing profound change processes. So, having a well-prepared teaching staff has become a basic need that requires, in turn, having training plans as a strategic resource for improving the institutional development. The challenge now lies in how to design new teacher education programs more tailored to the changing context of the new Higher Education institutions: less casual and more systematic training, with targets from medium to long term, training focused on the needs of the institution rather than individual needs. Looking back on the experience, the paper analyzes the actual meaning of teacher training in universities and the factors affecting it; the functions performed by training and the conditions that should meet to fulfill them properly.

The new curriculum that is being implemented since 2010 in the schools of dramatic art in Spain, involves the development of a subject, pedagogy, which is considered as core training and should be understood as a sort of theatre pedagogy. In this paper we analyze what should be the development of such a discipline as far as its purpose is focused on the development of those skills that will enable the dramatic arts graduates to become specialists in theatre education. In this direction we propose the substantive aspects we consider in the development of a discipline so important in the promotion of theatrical education in Spain, and the challenges of the immediate future.

The new syllabuses at Facultad de Ciencias Humanas UNLPam (2009) prescribe a Practice Area for the teachers' training. This is a new space added to the historical ones: General Training; Disciplinary Training and Teacher Training. The practices understood in this way are pointed towards systematic learning of capacities to act as teachers at school in the classrooms. This proposal supposes an important change regarding the way of understanding training and curriculum that gives place to a political project and a new kind of teaching that is generated with this particular way of training. In this paper we concentrate on the meaning and sense of a training that considers the formative value of practice in cooperative work among teachers of disciplinary and pedagogic areas that start to see the school as reference context in teaching action, the organization ways that are being activated and the action research that analyzes and studies thoroughly these political and curricular innovations.

Introduction. The medical career of the UNS has an integrated program with three cycles. The curriculum design incorporates adult education models and it is built around five main areas that cross over all educational units, these are: Biological, Clinical, Behavioral Sciences, Individual and Collective Health and Epidemiological Analysis of Health Determinants. Objective. To describe the experience of interdisciplinary planning of the educational units and some results of the evaluation of the experience. Experience. To effectively set the work of the design of learning units in interdisciplinary planning groups, an inter-area and intra-area exchange was necessary to overcome historical barriers between disciplines and to find a common language. The results of the research show that the tutor role was more relevant than problems. Nevertheless the design of such problems must be carefully designed because problem biased views could be internalized by students. Other triggers such as commercial movies were proved equally satisfactory as paper problems. Comment. It is difficult to find direct assessment methods for these planning models beyond the alignment to educational philosophy. Specialties choice upon graduation was little influenced by the program, but it is noteworthy the proportion of graduates entering to superior residencies which is upper the average of the graduates of the country.

The link between social sciences and society has always been a matter of debate in Mexico. According to some academics, close collaboration with entrepreneurs or the government can subordinate scientific work to the interest of outsiders. In contrast, some social scientists consider that social science must contribute to solving the most challenging social problems. The debate has some peculiarities when seen from a regional perspective since relations between actors are usually more intense, academic institutions are weaker and dependence on political power may affect the quality of research. In the paper, the main debates on these topics are put forward and analyzed in an attempt to assess the possibility of a more balanced relationship. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The aim of this paper is to analyze and discuss the organizational resilience concept and its implementation. Just to iniciate this study is relevant to say that the word resilience has been used in a variety of academic disciplines, from Ecology to Psychology. This word is not found in Spanish dictionaries but is widely used in Physics and Social Sciences. Also the use of organizational resilience concept in the Organization Theory field has recently been coined. Perhaps because of its theoretical origin, now in the field of organizations, is used as a way to designate the organization resilience to an unexpected disruption. Resilience in the organizations the same way can be defined as the ability of a system to absorb changes and still keep their core functionality. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
