This paper addresses the concept of inclusion as a characteristic of education from a human development perspective. In this light, it discusses the social state, citizenship rights, and economic hegemony in the context of globalization as forces that promote mechanisms of exclusion, including poverty, elitist policy measures, ethnic discrimination, cultural segregation, and the participation of international organizations in national political and economic decisions, among others. Thus, the paper places administration of the welfare state within a social structure. Also, the paper considers school as an area of interaction between individuals that promotes a humanistic system of education for all people. Moreover, it aims to create a sense of unease in the reader by outlining different theories of inclusion versus exclusion and shedding light on the substantial differences in commitment to education administration at the national level as reflected in different economic, political, cultural, and social strata. The paper emphasizes the purpose of an inclusive approach to education as part of the effort to achieve quality in education administration. It then defends inclusive education centers, where students' individual learning needs are considered through holistic curriculum development and where ever-changing human interactions are taken into account in order to seek more effective administrative strategies and projects that decisively address changes in education. In this way, problems are solved in an altruistic and holistic manner that implies a dynamic, democratic, and multi-faceted role for the reader, as well as commitment on the part of administrators of educational organizations, and leads to proactive administration.

El presente artículo aborda las comprensiones sobre diversidad y diferencia que emergen en la investigación doctoral denominada: La atención educativa de niños, niñas y jóvenes considerados con necesidades educativas especiales: Una mirada desde la integración y desde la inclusión; en ésta investigación se presentan: a.) las posturas teóricas y pragmáticas que asumen los actores de las instituciones donde se hizo el presente estudio, b.) la relación establecida entre éstos y las "propuestas" de integración e inclusión, entendidas aquí como: " las posibilidades de inclusión de los que están en el "sin lugar" para que puedan participar, dicho lugar sería la escuela. This article deals with the understanding of diversity and difference which emerge from the Doctoral research paper entitled "The educational attention of children and young people as having educational special needs: A look from integration and inclusion." In this research paper are presented (a) the theoretical and pragmatic positions which take the actors of the institutions where this study was carried out (b) the relation established between these actors and the "proposals" of integration and inclusion, which are understood here as "the possibilities of inclusion of those which are "out of place", the only place where they could participate, would be the school."

This paper estimates the effect of school and student characteristics on academic performance. Using data for 2002, the paper applies stochastic frontier techniques to estimate the level of technical efficiency of a sample of 4,542 public and private schools. Our findings indicate that both school and student characteristics have a positive and significant effect on academic performance. It appears that private schools are more efficient due to a more favourable environment since, on average, they receive students from higher income families. However, assuming a similar environment, differences in effi- ciency levels between private and public schools tend to disappear. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The paper focuses on the emergence of a new religious-ethnic educational stream in Israel, Maayan Hachinuch Hatorani, ("The Wellspring of Torah Education"). It was founded in 1984 and is controlled by the leadership of Shas, a movement of religious renewal and Sephardic-Oriental identity. Discriminatory policies, implemented by the ultra-Orthodox Ashkenazi establishment, brought the leaders of the Shas movement to initiate a new system capable of responding to the hardship of a marginalized population. Shas schools, functioning within and being supported by the Ministry of Education, also became socializing agents for children and parents that were far from religious lifestyle. Thus, through the creation of strategies for the transmission of knowledge and behavior, the new stream challenges the secular national project, and contributes to the formation of a new cultural sphere. In this paper we explore how a religious movement embraces education to foster social mobilization and group solidarity. The research is an ethnographic study that was conducted between 2000-2005 in three cities in Israel. By transforming cultural boundaries and institutionalizing norms that contradict in some respects the principles underlying the relationship between government and mass schooling, Shas's education systems contributes to forge an Ultra-Orthodox Israeli Judaism based on an ethnic type of primordial identity. The case contributes to understand the challenges that religion holds to modern systems of education and to analyze new developments in Judaism. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In 2004 the United Nations Organization commemorated the tenth anniversary of the International Year of the Family. The purpose established in 1994: revaluing the social function of the family is updated in this paper. Twenty years ago, the fact that the family is the basic social unit upon which rests the development of peoples was stressed. At present, the proposal goes deep into that glimpsed objective, its difficulties and problems--some new problems which are obstacles for the family welfare have been added since then; this situation carries in itself social unrest as a secondary, though immediate, effect. This paper examines, first of all, how the theme of sociability in the family is dealt with in international organizations such as the United Nations and in the institutions upon which it finds support for the research work that will be the basis for the proposal of social policies. The paper observes the way how this theme is focused and underlines the use of a methodology by means of which only a few conclusions that do not embrace the whole reality of the family are drawn. More precisely, these such conclusions fail in getting to the bottom of sociability and its education within the family, although they do recognize some efforts to bring near to the core issue of this theme. The paper concludes by establishing the need of including other approaches to complete the study of the theme and shows some key principles for an understanding of the close relationship between sociability and identity and how these are discovered within the family.

This paper is a reflection on the pedagogic strategies used to discuss the theme of ethical sensitizing in decision-making. The reflection stems from the authors' experience in the course on Management and its Public Responsibilities, within the MBA at Universidad de Los Andes. The central hypothesis refers to the possibility of achieving an ethical sensitizing of the students, starting from the use of pedagogic strategies such as collaborative learning. The paper discusses the concepts of collaborative learning and its importance in the field of university teaching, as well as its differences with traditional group work and cooperative learning experiences. In addition, the issue of evaluation as a central tool of the courses is discussed. Also, the paper explores these concepts within the experience gained during the evaluation of the above mentioned course. Even though the trial cannot be taken as a fact to validate or invalidate our hypothesis and it does not even constitute a complete experience of collaborative learning, it does illustrate the importance of the strategy in the discussion of issues such as ethics and responsibility. Our reflections are a starting point for a more rigorous, intentional application work of the pedagogical methodologies and their assessment, which will allow us to create the necessary spaces for ethical sensitizing as well as the incentive for an exercise of responsibility that we have named stage 2. At this stage, the students realize that making headway is not feasible without self-criticism; they welcome their peers' criticism and see all this as possibilities for their self-improvement as persons.

This paper analyzes some aspects related to the public debate about immigrant population and the construction of a national identity in Argentina during the first decades of the 20 th. century. Immigration, education and nationalism were the thee ideas which originated the debate on a possible model of country and constituted a field of tensions that covered the period of the great immigration wave. This paper will, in the light of these reflections, illustrate some of the features that these aspects acquired in a rural area. Southeast of the province of La Pampa the largest number of migratory population was farmed by groups of people who migrated from eastern Europe. The presence of Jewish colonies, such as the Narcisse Leven colony, meant the birth of debates on these groups which seemed to question the basis of the "Argentine Nationality". This text emphasizes the complexs relationship among immigration, education, and ethnicity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper analyzes the educational experience of ten students with disabilities from a public university in Madrid. This is higher education institution was selected because it holds a range of inclusive services, practices and objectives. Henceforth, a qualitative methodology, in-depth interviews, was used to discuss their satisfaction with the education received and also to reflect on the obstacles they identified in this process. Thus, we have investigated both the academic and extra-academic side of their inclusion in the university; consequently we have paid special attention to their relationship with two of the most important agents: lecturers and other students. With their narratives we have managed to obtain a perception which starts in their experience but projects the particular into the general, considering what it can be done and also what it has been done in regards of the education of students with disabilities. Hence, their experiences were useful to allocate the university in the process of inclusion and also consider what needs to be achieved in the future. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper aims to understand of the term "pedagogy" in detail in the context of inclusive education through the reconnaissance of the disciplinary knowledge and its relative autonomy as a socio-cultural practice. The studies concerning inclusive education increasingly add results that globally influence the transformation of the concept of education based on the attention to diversity, as a factor of social innovation. This reflection exposes a pending task of researching a critical and discursive framework proper of pedagogy, as it is the reinterpretation of the segregated senses in human education at the level of pondering about what inclusion means in the social transformation in education.

In this paper we present a historical study of the culturalist contributions of Wilhelm Flitner specific processes for the epistemologization of contemporary pedagogy. From a literature review of the author, content analysis and comparison with literature on the subject, we conclude that Flitner proposed rework the epistemological body of pedagogy, following the neo-Kantian, own rationalist tradition of the first half of the century XX. Education is a spiritual activity and pedagogy is a pragmatic human science, whose object is the hermeneutic understanding of education in its historical and cultural context. Flitner ended up confusing the fields of Theory of Education with the Philosophy of Education. Both fields, but equally legitimate, are different. The Philosophy of Education should not replace theoretical studies on education, which correspond to the Theory of Education. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper the author describes the identity of the pedagogy of alterity, based on Levinas's ethics and anthropology. For the author, the pedagogy of alterity is indebted to a circumstance, because there are no education outside time and space, is a response to a singular and particular subject, is reception to the other and resistence to evil, is memory of what our elders have been built, and testimony, more than instruction.

The purpose of this paper is to show the adaptation and validation process of the Teacher Self-Efficacy Scale questionnaire (Tschannen-Moran & Woolfolk, 2001) in a sample selection of 544 Chilean teachers. This was done using the back translation procedure. For construct validity, the exploratory factor analysis statistic method was applied, which resulted in one additional factor to the three, which were in the original instrument. Secondly, a confirmatory factor analysis was carried out. The latter corroborated the four-dimension solution with appropriate index adjustments. Finally, the internal consistency was analyzed by using the Cronbach's alpha coefficient, which showed satisfactory rates for each factor and the entire instrument. All these findings support the claim that the adapted version of the questionnaire is valid, reliable and explanatory of the self-efficacy theory for the reality of Chilean teachers.

Continuous curriculum updating of medical education has generated discussion regarding the learning models used for morphological sciences, a topic much in vogue today, discussed by morphology teachers and education specialists. This paper discloses the morphological teaching model used in the Department of Gross Anatomy of the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile, which has been consequently developed together with the curriculum changes made by the school of medicine, being able to adapt to current times and new technology. This constructivist learning model is based on a guided and self-directed learning with web-based material specially designed for each course, emphasizing practical work in laboratories and supplemented by technological and theoretical evaluations conducted on computers and practical evaluations using tablets in the laboratories among others. All this work under a single web platform. These changes have improved student-teacher engagement and eased academic workload. The results of this model have been positively evaluated by members of the faculty team and allow to conclude that the inclusion of new technologies as a supplement to teaching morphology are a real contribution, as well as being well received by students.

The paper presents part of the results obtained in the second phase of a research on cultural exclusion and inclusion of adolescents regarding heritage sites. Specifically, it analyses students aged 14 to 16’s perception of teaching activities held in museums, with special emphasis on the work of mediators and educators, in the formulas and degrees of participation provided to students and in the nature of the activities that museums offer them. The article reveals that teenagers do not feel participant in the museum space as well as the fact that this could change if museums became laboratories providing active experiences instead of exhibits with passive explanations.

This paper presents a study carried out in the rural communities of San José Navajas, Jesús María, and Chichimequillas in the municipality of El Marqués, in the state of Querétaro, Mexico. Taking into account the theory of mental spaces, the objective was to discover and explain the community members' perception of their filling the jobs created by the opening of the international airport and two industrial parks in the region. Twenty-three semi-structured interviews were conducted with qualified respondents in the communities. The results show that independent from their precarious economic situation, the inhabitants recognize the importance of the relation between education and work in obtaining better jobs. The observation is made that the respondents' social image and individual perceptions recognize that education is a factor in personal development. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The paper explores the perceptions of 300 teachers from the city of Cali concerning knowledge and practices for the support of the displaced population in a school context. The descriptive exploratory study involved documentary, research and the application and analysis of a qualitative survey (Jansen, 2012). Since 1995 regulatory frameworks and orientations to assist the displaced population have existed in Colombia; nonetheless, the study shows that these orientations still have not had sufficient coverage to impact what teachers need to know and do in that respect. From a political psychology perspective, this article supports the need of continuous teacher training to improve the attention given to displaced populations in the educational environment.

The theme of the transmission of the Law within a culture and its appropriation by the individual is a subject little studied in contemporary educational research. The problem is that it is assumed that everybody will apprehend it but no one knows for sure how this happens. In this paper is analyzed from the psychoanalytic point of view, the Hebrew myth "Cain and Abel" which is proposed as a way of transmission and appropriation of law in the human psyche.

This paper presents the results of a research carried out with students of 4th year of Primary Education in which we analyze the effects of the use of a methodology based on the invention and reconstruction of problematic situations in Mathematics class, on the development of metacognition. Results indicate that the implementation of the program improves the following areas in the students: Metacognitive Declarative Knowledge, Procedural Metacognitive Knowledge, Conditional Metacognitive Knowledge and Metacognitive Ability of Prediction. The invention of problematic situations allows students to discover the error and to recognize it in order to avoid it in the construction of new knowledge. These situations promote the awareness of the mental processes involved in the development of the task and in the decision making for the implementation of solving strategies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Introduction: The Saharawi population resident in the Tindouf Camps (Algeria) is considered vulnerable from the nutritional point of view. Objectives: To analyze the dietary habits of a group of Saharawi emigrant women with the aim to obtain data to design a nutrition education (NE) program for female residents in the camps. Methods: Information about dietary habits was registered in dietetic histories. The results about macro and micronutrients intake were compared to acceptable distribution ranges and the estimated average requirements. Data relating to demographic, socioeconomic and health were also obtained. Statistical analyses: SPSS software vs 22.0. Taking into account the registered and analyzed data, the review of the health programs applied in the camps and other NE programs, we designed a specific program. Results: In Sahara camps, the diet was characterized by a low intake of energy and a low consumption of fiber (6.1 [2.8] g/day), monounsaturated fatty acids (6.9 [2.9]% of the total energy intake) and the most of micronutrients. The increase in food availability, after migration into Spain, increased the energy intake, but their diet remained inadequate. The NE designed program was based on the training of educators. In this paper, detailed information on the organization and materials to use in the education intervention are shown. Discussion and conclusion: The diet of Saharawi women in camps and after migration into Spain was inadequate. This may corroborate that acculturation can be associated to unhealthy changes. The designed NE program will probably improve their nutritional health. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The paper shows the analysis of an experiment developed with universitary students of the Audiovisual Communication degree in which a complex and unprecedented issue is addressed in their training: "development of transmedia storytelling through the creative management of sensors of an smartphone" to a pair of independents groups with different teaching methodologies. On the one hand, first group gets the content by the "master" classic way: display of the subject by the professor, recommended readers and double theoretical evaluation (through multiple- choice test) and practice (design of a communication strategy using the resources acquired ). The second group is brought under an immersive experience through the use of ICT's, mainly smartphones. A guided itinerary is set, in which the student with the unique support of his smartphone should search the concept and develop collaboratively with his classmates. This group will be evaluated in the same way as the previous group. The results found measures the differences between the values such as the real degree of knowledge, the exams score, the students satisfaction regarding the content, methodology and teachers who have taught or the decision to use what they has learned in medium-term future in their professional field.

In this article we will see that depending on the context and diversity, discovering and teaching in science, should have an Intercultural look. The final objective of the so-called exact sciences, practically mostly, you could say it's the same. This objective would be to know and understand the secrets it holds the universe. But how do we discover? and how do we learn the knowledge that are already found?, we propose that this path should be intercultural. In this paper, first we will try to adopt and / or assume a definition for the words of Knowledge, Education, Science and Interculturality; because they are words that have much theoretical debate, and if we do not assume some definition for them, we will not reach to any goal. Then we will prove that interculturality must be present at the time of doing science and teaching it, for which purpose, we will find support primarily with studies of neuroscience, then, with the meaningful learning theory of Ausubel, with Piaget that gives importance to the prior knowledge of the learner, by Watson, Vygotsky, etc. Even we give an ancient example, in which this knowledge has already been used with good results; we talk about education in times of the Incas. This is a clear example that interculturality should be applied to teaching and conducting science. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper presents the problem of school violence through a critical reading that allows rethinking the approach to school bullying. It proposes a critical psychosocial interactionist approach from a qualitative perspective focused on the reconstruction and understanding of the conflicts in coexistence in secondary schools in Argentina from the perspective of young people and educators. It focus the analysis on physical confrontations ("fights") between students, which emerge in defined situations by the participants, and are defined as deep affronts to their identity and can be understood as recognition conflicts. Finally, it presents considerations around psychosocial intervention through participatory strategies with young people and educators to promote the deconstruction of the arguments that justify violence.

The current education needs to adapt to the changes that take place and have taken place in society. In this way teachers face different challenges in order to achieve quality in education according to current needs. Teaching-learning processes where the student is the protagonist, creating spaces for dialogue where the active role of students in society promotes the opening of schools to its context, the appropriate use of information and communication technology and the attention to cultural diversity of students, are some of the tasks that the teacher responds today and on which we reflect in this paper. For this purpose the improvement of initial and lifelong training of teachers at all educational levels is needed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Probit/logit techniques are applied to the data from Barometer No. 2,829 published by the Centro de Investigaciones Sociológicas to examine three problems related with public sector decentralisation. The paper concludes, first, that citizens' perception of efficiency gains from decentralisation have a positive effect on their support for decentralised government. Second, that citizens are more likely to perceive the efficiency gains from decentralisation if they correctly ascribe responsibility for education and health services to regions. And third, that citizens who most accurately identify regional responsibility for the provision of those services tend to be better educated, older, engaged in paid work or public employment, concerned about regional politics and resident in one region with higher initial level of devolved powers.

The aim of this paper is to contribute to the articulation of the concepts of cognition and life in educational practice, through the concept of experience. The theoretical corpus includes philosophical, psychological, biological, physical and neuroscientific basis, until rooting it in the concrete practice. Our ontoepistemological perspective is based on doing historical tour about the split of the concepts of doxa and episteme in the field of philosophy. Subsequently, it was developed the concept of experience. The relevance of this development is showed, as well as its scientific underpinnins, to propose an educational biocentric perspective, where the integration between knowledge and life is recovered. Finally it is presented the research results, from the setting in motion of this approach. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This research work is aimed at characterizing the educational practice of the Elderly's University Chair in Havana. For data recollection, the following methods were used: documentary analysis of 15 texts referred to the program, 15 classes' observation, and 15 interviews to professors. It was characterized the educational practice in terms f three dimensions of the analysis: theoretical, methodological, and practical. A comparison was established between the application space, and that which refers to the official documents. The educational program is characterized for being humanist-adaptive, with an eclectic orientation, and confers privilege to the lecture-workshop as a gerontal methodology. Besides, the paper emphasizes the evaluation of the quality of life to the end of the course, over some other aspects. Differences were found between that which was stated in official documents, and the professors' practice. The article suggests recommendations in order to improve professors' educational role.

The practice of qualitative research goes beyond procedures and techniques. In health care it is acknowledged as a specialized area bearing ethical and emotional components. Training in qualitative research implies both intellectual work and the task of molding a character; in other words: a way of being. In this kind of research, the question involves both being and doing. This paper invites to reflect on the training of qualitative researchers. Learning qualitative research is a situated and reflexive social practice in which tacit and formal knowledge must be gathered. There are at least four conditions promoting its learning: 1) time -its study must be constant-2) failure, 3) relationships with others in a collaborative environment and 4) a master acting as a mediator between tacit and explicit knowledge. These conditions occur within the execution of a research project. However, there are three difficulties that educators and students of qualitative research commonly face: 1). the context of training, 2). pre-conceived ideas and 3). the need to sustain the desire to know over time. Who you are when learning the craft is critical in the training process; methods are what we make (out) of them. Research is an embodied practice. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The main objective of this paper is to review the literature on the relationship between the concepts of modernity, pedagogy and body, emphasizing the speeches of some manuals of etiquette published in Colombia during the nineteenth century. To do this, it was studied the most relevant literature published in recent years on these points and four manuals of civility, to inquire about how the bodies of men and women were portrayed and explicitly or implicitly cast, how were idealized their behaviors and how they were educated for a modern nation-state and civilized. This meant understand how etiquette manuals exposed the private and public spaces and understand how these spaces were constitutive of subjectivity of genres. All with the aim of linking the discourses on civility and academic arguments of researchers who have studied these texts. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This reflection article is framed within the humanism, bioethics and education relationship in the context of cyber culture. In this digital world, humanism and technology, science and humanism, are found again, and now subject and human nature are located in the center of the debate. From the questioning of the nature and status of humanism, the goal of this paper is aimed at elucidating about subjectivities in the technological era from the question about the kind of emerging social subject in the digital age with its technological mediations. Both, education and bioethics, are confronted with the challenge of setting humanism, its nature and identity, in expressions like cyborg, post organic man, numerical man, symbiotic man, cyberanthropos. Education and bioethics converge on the subject and its reconfiguration in the digital agora traces challenges and opens horizons in purpose training and care of human beings. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The objective of this paper is to analyze which variables determine that young people who still live with their parents study, work, combine both activities or stay away from them. We are interested in what is it that keeps young people in the educative system, even if they are working, and if there are differences related to gender roles. We work with a model of efficient cooperative negotiation between parents and the son or daughter, and estimate a Multinomial Logit regression with data for urban Peru in the year 2014. We find that young people will stay in the educative system, even if they are working, when their negotiation power at home is high, when their opportunity cost is low, and when their parents have a higher level of education.

Aiming to achieve an adequate knowledge management many organizations focus on implementing digital platforms that allow information exchanges, but they leave the human component away. In this reflection paper a complementary vision is proposed, based on internal communication as the booster of group interactions, empowering and proper values within the organizational culture for achieving the levels required when knowledge is managed. The conclusions are concentrated on the potentialities of the communication strategy to strengthen the organizational culture and also strengthen the individuals-employees, making the exteriorization, sharing and generation of organizational knowledge.

The social function has had multiple uses in private property law. Expropriation, easements or forfeiture are just some of the specific ways in which it becomes operational. We can infer, then, that more than a specific definition, it is a core idea that not having original content serves and has served as a tool for the realization of human values such as equality and solidarity. In copyright law there are readings and uses of social function that have not, however, met the specific forms of tangible ownership. Despite this, it has been implicit - and in some cases explicit - to the center of the modern critique of the institution. Through a critical approach, this paper presents the readings of the social function in copyright law and proposes, given the interpretative potential of this powerful idea, one possible reading.

The European Higher Education Area emphasizes acquisition of skills in the teaching-learning process. This involves the renovation of traditional teaching methods towards other more creative aspects of learning that emphasize the "know-how" and take into consideration the individual's emotional and psychological dimensions. The aim of this paper is to show how Gestalt psychotherapy techniques based on life experiences, allow acquisition of know-how in key tasks for social intervention professionals, through an in-class experience with social work students. We show how learning these techniques from experiential practice favours the formation of future professionals and their personal and emotional potentials and capabilities. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The paper proposes a new formulation of the musical identity from the notion of the complete education of the human being and the experiences made in the fi eld of the psychology of music. From the induction of emotions in the experience of beauty, a person participates in musical consumption as a response to that experience. Thus, an aesthetic dialogue, which is both a mark on the musical identity and the personal identity, becomes essential to a complete education of the person. Following conclusions affecting educators in a broadest sense and also in the practice of music education arise. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

At present, the discussions in the education and employment of young people the validity of educational Inequalities and the implications of these on the employability of young people Is highlighted. In this sense, and returning these issues, this paper stresses and challenges In education and youth work In Latin America were discussed.

The main results suggest that the scriptural progress is better expressed in commands such as Textual Coherence (14%) and Content Originality (17%) and the major difficulties are present in relevant ideas emphasis (3%) and Textual Cohesion (7%). About TIC implementation, conversation groups showed a positive disposition to mediation supported by social web and collaborative work. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

An analysis of Max Weber's The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism reveals that the word "culture" is explicitly mentioned at least 43 times depending on the edition and translation. Culture is relevant as the foundation of the argumentative structure since it allows for the differentiation of human groups and their peculiar characteristics. From a cosmopolitan point of view, Weber's question is still pertinent given the advances of global thinking, its recent dissemination, and its acceptance within academic circles. With cosmopolitanism as its main guide, this paper analyses the use of the word "culture: in the book in order to inspire a debate on how to define a cosmopolitan ethos. While there is a persistent inquiry onto the applicable ethical-political mechanisms, the cosmopolitan literature converges towards education as an answer to the problem of culture in a globalized world.
