This research studies the relationship between private education and socio-economic school segregation in Latin America. To do so, we conduct a special mining of the TERCE, OREALC/UNESCO database with a double estimation of the Gorard segregation index and the Isolation index. The study sample is composed of 119,967 students from 5,733 schools in 15 Latin American countries. The results indicate that there is a strong relationship between the weight of private education and the socio-economic school segregation of a country, so that the more students are enrolled in private schools, the greater the segregation there is and that in all countries the private schools concentrate the higher socioeconomic students, while public students welcome the most vulnerable students. With this, it is evident that a policy of promoting private education leads to more inequitable educational systems.

This document presents information on music as a strategy for teaching Lusophone adjectives for learners of Portuguese as a second language. This study was carried out in the state of Sao Paulo, Brazil. The sample is integrated by 80 Spanish-speaking learners, students of Portuguese as a second language, aged between 6 and 17 years old. The research by its nature is exploratory and its objective was to identify the functionality of music as a pedagogical tool in the acquisition of a second language. As an instrument for data collection was used an estimation scale. The activities were developed during the first quarter of 2020, with the purpose of identifying the relevance of music as a didactic strategy in the teaching and learning process. The results obtained reaffirm the utilitarian character of artistic tools in language teaching, at the same time that confirm the effectiveness of music in the domain of lusophone adjectives.  

Creativity as well as multiple intelligences are characteristics of human beings, which, depending on the context, are manifested to a greater or lesser extent, hence the importance of knowing if the university promotes the construct of creativity and if the students have chosen what they are passionate about. For this research we resorted to specific bibliographic sources, based on Gardner's Theory, test and questionnaire designed to establish levels of creativity and multiple intelligences prevalent in young adults, the first, Creativity test based on the Torrence Test (1960) by Tony Ramos de la Torre and the second Multiple Intelligences Detection Questionnaire by Walter McKenzie (1999), which allowed us to establish that students of the Marine Biology career have an average level of creativity with an average of 6.27 and the intelligence that they have developed the most is the naturalist, with an average of 8.12 over 10, which corroborates why the students are inclined towards this career.

This article discusses the representation of sociocultural diversity, particularly at the Shuar indigenous nationality of the Amazon, in the Abya-Yala ethnographic museum, and its strategies that impact the elaboration of senses. In addition, it recognizes the institution's constitution process, identifies its teaching-learning practices and suggests educational strategies framed in critical theory. For this reason, it uses ethnography and speech analysis. The study focuses on non-formal education and its contributions in knowledge building. Unveils the multidimensionality of Salesian missions, such as colonizing agents, evangelizers and educators. Meanwhile, emphasizes his research and dissemination role with his museal representation framed in multiculturalism. The conclusions show the limitations and potentialities of connecting the museum with a comprehensive formation that positions interculturality as an ethical, sociopolitical and existential project.

In the present work, it is give to know the effectiveness of mind maps in the teaching-learning process, specifically in enabling learners to better understand various types of texts or information that is presented around them. The work was carried out under a qualitative approach, for which a systematic review of the most up-to-date bibliography was made considering the main referents who have studied this tool. After this investigation, it is concluded that these maps represent a valuable technique or strategy essential for the educational field, which can significantly help the understanding of various texts, from the simplest to the most complex. This thanks to their simplicity of use and its graphic representation that allows both students and teachers to work better promotting a harmonious environment and at the same time, develop their abilities taking advantage the nature that our brain offer.

This article is a case study that describes how the school culture of the old technical college for boys Sucre can obstruct the coeducation process implemented in the Institution in the last decade. For this, it is discussed about technical-industrial education and technical knowledge through the social theory of Male Domination by Pierre Bourdieu. For this, the coeducational process in technical-industrial education is analyzed from the concept of coeducation in the Ecuadorian context as a principle of inclusion for women in non-traditional educational spaces, and that of school culture and its artifacts as reproductive elements of culture of the educational community. The data obtained is analyzed with the three levels of organizational culture by Edgar Schein, which allows to detail in depth the cultural artifacts used by the community to show their resistance to the changes contemplated by coeducation.

It refers to the different situations of adversity he had to go through, to his main academic achievements. He mentions the fundamental aspects of his teaching career, the contributions he has given to society and the Ecuadorian education system, to training processes, to the elaboration of educational provisions and to studies and research, some of which have been published in several countries. Two facts are striking: the different entities in which he has worked, always in the field of education and the amount of trips he has made in different countries of the world, in some of them to attend events and in others to teach courses and conferences. This autobiography highlights the positive aspects of a teaching career in which the author had to overcome many difficulties and problems to meet his goals based on perseverance and desire to overcome.

O uso de papel e cartão recuperado como matéria-prima para a fabricação de papel e cartão reciclado tem inúmeras vantagens ambientais e econômicas. No entanto, também tem sérias desvantagens devido à quantidade de contaminantes que são introduzidos no sistema. Os contaminantes em forma de matéria dissolvida e coloidal não podem ser removidos por processos mecânicos convencionais e quando desestabilizados por uma mudança repentina nas condições do sistema, são diretamente responsáveis pela formação de manchas e furos no produto final. O objetivo do presente trabalho é desenvolver um procedimento para determinar a presença de matéria dissolvida e coloidal na água de processo de papel de forma prática e precisa. A água caracterizada é desestabilizada com um polímero catiônico, favorecendo a formação de um depósito projetado para este fim, o que permite que a determinação quantitativa seja realizada por meio de um sistema de análise físico-química. Com o método desenvolvido, uma vez validado e sua reprodutibilidade determinada, é realizado um estudo com água reciclada obtida de suspensões de celulose contendo os poluentes típicos do processo de reciclagem do papel, tais como: adesivos, ceras, sabonetes de destintagem, etc. O efeito de diferentes variáveis, tais como a natureza do poluente, a presença de aditivos de destintagem, a natureza do agente desestabilizador e as características do meio (pH, temperatura, sólidos totais, CQO, DBO5, óleos e gorduras, etc.) é estudado. ); também é realizado um estudo da água de processo, com matéria dissolvida e coloidal contida em amostras de diferentes tipos de matérias-primas: papel misturado, jornal e papelão reciclado, obtendo-se os resultados após tratamento físico-químico em média. (Ph = 8,4; Temperatura = 26,5°C; Sólidos totais = 150,26 mg/L; CQO = 750,82 mg/L; DBO5 = 300,24 mg/L; Óleos e gorduras = 48,56 mg/L etc.); na fabricação de folhas de fibra aglomerada na empresa Saco de entrada.

The non-probabilistic sample was taken; we conclude that the Information and Communication Technology has significantly improved not only statistically but also pedagogical and educational learning of the subject of Mining and Environment

A pesquisa educacional tem certos preconceitos com relação à construção de um instrumento documental do tipo edumétrico e sua validação. Isto se deve à falta de consciência axiológica por parte de alguns pesquisadores, estudantes de tese, consultores e juízes especialistas que têm a obrigação de validar o instrumento formulado através dos itens. Com base no acima exposto, é formulado o seguinte objetivo: elucidar a falta de prática ética e moral das pessoas envolvidas no processo de construção e validação de um instrumento edumétrico. A análise do artigo científico corresponde ao método analítico-hermenêutico para a abordagem qualitativa e ao método de estudos instrumentais para a abordagem quantitativa. O método hermenêutico tem permitido uma análise rigorosa do papel desempenhado pelas pessoas mencionadas acima. Além disso, as diferenças foram estabelecidas de forma categórica entre a construção de um instrumento do tipo psicométrico e do tipo edumétrico, este último é construído na ausência do contexto da pesquisa a ser desenvolvida e sua validade obedece às teorias formuladas de acordo com as variáveis e dimensões. Finalmente, conclui-se que as pessoas envolvidas na construção edumétrica carecem de praxis axiológica.
