Instructional indiscipline is a recurring problem in secondary education that affects academic performance. This study used credential knowledge to reduce the margin of intervention. The study design was descriptive statistical with a non-experimental cross-sectional approach. The research objective was to investigate how teachers perceive the actions of specific agents in situations of disruptive behavior and what types of actions are carried out from Tutoring to prevent, operate, and restore classroom order. The methodological approach was quantitative. Data was collected through created questionnaires, for a non-probabilistic sample of (n=100) secondary school teachers and (n=20) tutors in Autonomous City of Buenos Aires (CABA). Data analysis was conducted using descriptive statistics, including measures of central tendency, (M=43.66) teacher age and (Me=16.00) years of experience; half of the teachers have >= 16 years, (Mo= 20), indicating the most frequent value of 20 years of experience. The observed range dispersion is the difference between the maximum and minimum values, of 32 years (SD=9.727), suggesting significant variability in teacher experience and a left-skewed distribution. The dimensions of the instruments were compared based on teacher experience and training scope. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The pandemic and the consequent mandatory confinement directly affected people's lives and their relationships. Among these, couple relationships have encountered multiple challenges. In order to investigate the impact of isolation due to the Covid-19 pandemic on couple relationships in the Argentine population, a descriptive study was carried out with 2,562 people. Of these, 2,283 respondents were in a relationship before confinement. 79.5% stayed together during isolation, 53% have been together for more than 10 years, and 60% have common children. The resources that helped them stay together as they were: good communication, respecting spaces of personal intimacy, affective manifestations, shared activities, sexual relations. The conclusions obtained are intended to be useful in the design of future lines of prevention in clinical practice, and intervention for couples who arrive in a crisis situation, seeking to stimulate marital resilience.
