The purpose of study is to analyze the concept of curriculum autonomy in Mexican basic education within the framework of the Educational Model 2017 and from a socioformative stance. For this, a documentary research was carried out that followed the eight axes of conceptual mapping analysis. As a result, curricular autonomy from socioformation should promote educational practices that involve the entire educational community to work collaboratively in the resolution of context problems and in the integral formation of the student. In conclusion, it is suggested to develop new studies that allow the development of educational practices that address curricular autonomy from the framework of responsibility, with emphasis on improving the living conditions of students and society.

This study investigates the argumentation of a cohort of students at the beginning of their post-degree. In the case of professionals seeking greater validation, it is worth knowing the scope that epistemological reflection provides in an institutionalized framework that is traditionally unfavorable to them. With the consent of the students of the post-title Ventilatory Dysfunction 2018 and through the construction of a modified trial that previously received the support of cognitive, procedural and attitudinal content related to the subject, a content analysis was carried out to identify the categories considered relevant to obtain the status of professional expertise. In the findings, the explicit recognition of the epistemological bases is assigned and highlighted to the foundations that organize consequences and substantive effects for the post title in question. The related and necessary variables to demarcate the specialty and the consequences of their social responsibility are discussed.

Peer Tutoring (TEP in Spanish) is part of a central policy of the Universidad de la República of Uruguay (Udelar) whose process of crediting was consolidated towards 2017. They are understood as a learning process in which university students accompany and support others, aiming for their full insertion into university life. This paper presents the evaluation of the experience by a generation of peer tutors, with the aim of knowing their profile, their previous trajectories, their evaluation of the course and their assessments of how these tutorships contribute to their own educational trajectories. Three mixed forms were used to collect the results, at the beginning and at the end of the experience. The results reflect a very marked conformity with both the training course and the practices in the territory, as well as a high evaluation of the contributions to the participants' own training. However, some challenges have been identified in order to achieve a greater impact of the experience at the institutional level, especially in relation to gender and the careers from which the tutors come. This reveals the need for greater involvement and articulation of all institutional actors to promote these experiences not as peripheral initiatives, but as part of the organizational paradigm.

The aim of this study is to know the way in which a group of university professors use the assessment rubric and the knowledge they acquire when adding this tool. A single case study is conducted, using a qualitative methodology. Participant observation and in-depth interviews are used as data collection instruments. Results indicate that the use has several stages. First, all the interviewed elaborate their own tools; then they apply them to improve the assessment and finally they analyze the results in search of coincidences and differences from which to make decisions regarding ways to teach. Concerning the learning, professors identify new knowledge acquisition in respect to their courses and themselves, which they later add to improve their performance. The results show a relationship between the use of the rubric and the reflection on the experience, as well as a not sufficiently explored potential regarding the pedagogic function of the rubric for the development of the faculty staff.

The theoretical didactic knowledge taught in teacher training institutes must be fully linked to the teaching activities developed in the pre-professional practice of their students. This research addresses the practical component of the Didactics II course of the Primary School Teaching Career, in a group of students from a teacher training institute, with the aim of analyzing the distribution of the disciplinary areas that are incorporated, the structure of the plans and their coherence with the classes actually developed. Through a qualitative study, in which the plans of 20 students and their corresponding teaching practices were analyzed, inequitable distributions of the disciplinary areas planned for the course were identified, as well as planning structures that reflect a conservative design, with little presence of innovative or investigative proposals. Only in 12 cases was there high convergence between what was planned and what was taught. The conclusion is that it is necessary to continue to deepen the analysis of the articulation of theory and practice, addressing institutional and professional aspects of teacher training. 

A significant number of students get access to the Faculty of Industrial Engineering of the Technological University of Havana. It produces a volume of data that can be analyzed in order to manage the educational process intentionally. In this study, descriptive statistics techniques are used to extract useful and relevant information from the educational data recorded during the process of professional training. The objective of this work is to analyze information obtained from the first-year students enrolled in the academic courses between 2012 and 2017 to improve their academic performance. The analysis of a set of data to study possible associations shows a reduction of academic efficiency. Technical and software statistical packages were used to process available data. The results obtained point out the significant impact of some admission processes parameters over first year student academic success.  

In this work, the functioning of the School Medical Corps (CME, for its Spanish acronym) in Uruguay between 1907 and 1927 is analyzed and it is argued that one of the most influential areas of its actions is the construction of normality in the teaching corps of teachers and student teachers. Normalization is a Foucaultian concept that refers to the regulation of the bodies of individuals (disciplines) and populations (biopolitics) and will guide the analysis of the actions of the CME, particularly those developed with student teachers, contestants for teaching positions, and in the annual recognition of the health status of teachers. The actions carried out by the CME are based on arguments that come from hygienism, superimposed with arguments typical of eugenics. For this work, an analysis was made of regulations, sessions and internal reports of the School Medical Corps; articles in Annals of Primary Instruction; CME reports in Primary Instruction Reports and manuals on Anatomy, Physiology and Hygiene and Home Economics.

The sense of belonging is a feeling of identity that individuals generate with the community with which they interact to achieve common goals. The arts, in turn, demand the consolidation of an identity and the dissemination of artistic experiences in the classroom. For this reason, this study aims to find out how the sense of belonging is presented from the student's point of view in the Dance Degree of the Benemérita Universidad Autónoma de Puebla (BUAP), Mexico. A quantitative study was conducted through a questionnaire that evaluated the sense of belonging in four dimensions (psychological-social, affective, academic and physical). The results indicate that the academic and social dimensions require actions aimed at self-confidence and approaching the work environment. Analyzing the sense of belonging allows the construction of common meanings that strengthen the professional formation of the students.

Advances on research in Didactics of Mathematics and its impact on teaching go at different rates. For this reason, this article proposes an approach to incorporate professional tasks in the training of Mathematics teachers from the point of view of research. Given the diversity of theoretical-methodological positions present in Didactics of Mathematics, in order to articulate professional tasks based on situations, a general scheme is configured that considers three important elements: a theoretical reference, the study of mathematical content from the research, and an implementation logic during the instruction process. From these elements, an example is developed, considering as a theoretical reference a model of knowledge for the teacher, and as a theme the notable identities. It is concluded that the type of professional tasks that need to be considered during teacher training should be situations linked to their practice or future educational practice. These tasks should also be theoretically guided by the results of research to promote the development of their knowledge and skills.

The article addresses the design and functioning of an extended virtual classroom that is implemented in a reading and writing workshop at a university in Argentina, with the purpose of exposing the results obtained from this experience. For the analysis, it is considered the activity registered in the educational platform, data collected from a survey and the correlation between the grades obtained by the students of three courses and their participation in the classroom. Among other results, it is noted that this experience is positively valued by the students and that most of those who enter the platform often manage to promote the workshop. However, there is evidence that consistency and continuity in participation is a problem.
