The study explains what extent the environmental dimension has been incorporated in the professional training of students of the Education Faculty of the National University of Huancavelica. The descriptive and explanatory methods were used and we used content analysis sheets and questionnaires to collect the data. The population consisted of 72 teachers and 629 students. The incorporation of the environmental dimension in the curricular plan is moderate. However, in research, university extension and social projection are incipient. In addition, the environmental education of the students is solid. Finally, was concluded that the incorporation of the environmental dimension in the professional training of the students is moderate; however, it is necessary to implement actions for its incorporation in the research, university extension and social projection.

The objective was to determine the relationship between learning strategies for students at ESPOCH’s School of Mechanical Engineering and the academic performance in Mathematical Analysis II by analyzing a sample population of 82 students. This research was not experimental, it was quantitative-qualitative and of the descriptive-correlational type. The CEVEAPEU questionnaire was used to identify learning strategies and final grades in order to measure academic performance. 52% of students were underperformers and there were no high performers. Nineteen learning strategies are predominant. Four strategies significantly impinged on academic performance. Only the «planning» learning strategy was not used by low performing students. The research hypothesis is rejected and it is recommended to conduct a pilot study on the «planning» learning strategy as a predictor of academic performance.

Infant entrance to formal education spaces installs them in a different context, with new people, things and dynamic. The article reports part of a study who explores the exchange about child rearing practices between families and a day care center. Child rearing practices of different contexts, the exchanges that take place about this and how is gathered in the curriculum are described. It is noted that infant - toddler classroom practices are based on rights approach, activities are emphasized by pedagogic purposes and a good treatment to the child is improved.

Currently a majority of children do not go to school alone, which means that they do not reach some skills that favor autonomy and social interaction. The world authorities are motivating safe and healthy environments around the school, because for decades they have had positive results in several countries. Spanish kindergardens and primary education schools are recognized as appropriate places to experience and knowledge of the environment through physical activity and play. Among the projects on an active school environment, those related with the road to the school are relevant, normally promoted by local governments, with the close collaboration of the school. In any similar proposal, it is as important to pay attention to the educational community like as urban spaces.The walk to the school, which takes place at least twice a day, can be done on foot or by bicycle, which can be a fabulous and modifiable alternative to increase the daily physical activity of children and adolescents, because it helps them to improve their physical health (strength, aerobic endurance, balance, coordination and agility), social relationships and personal skills.The idea of the project walking to school is an initiative that tries to educate to the society into active displacements and sustainable urbanism, with examples all over the world. In any case, the protagonist of the walk to the school is the student, who will learn to move safely and by their own means, and to reflect on classroom activities on mobility and environmental improvement.

This article describes the results of the research about the assessment and the academic and/or labor insertion of graduates with postgraduate degrees from the Facultad de Psicología (Faculty of Psychology) of the Universidad Nacional de Rosario (National University of Rosario), Argentina. A descriptive analysis of data records from the academic unit has been carried out and results of surveys answered by graduates have also been analyzed.

They highlight aspects to be improved related to the teaching of methodology and thesis writing.

The purpose of this study was to reveal the conceptions that expert researchers have about novel researcher’s competences. The study was descriptive, with a mixed design. The data comes from a textual corpus constructed from 78 Prometeo researchers’ opinions about the type of knowledge and skills that novel researchers need. The results revealed two competences cores: the prosocial-emotional and methodological-discursive-technological competences. The expert researchers emphasized the socio-emotional character of research as the need to release the methodological practices from the dogmatism and the passions of the instructors.Novel researchers must have emotional consciousness, openness to methodical plurality, ability to use efficiently technology in favor to their research studies, and discursive quality for the socialization of knowledge.

The education of programming has between its main objectives, the development and the formation of skills on the part of the students, who make possible the resolution of problems of the school, professional or of the practical life taking into account the different resources that offer the languages of programming. In the training course of computer teachers, this process has some characteristics that distinguish it. The teachers to be must develop the skill and at the same time to appropriate of the necessary procedures to direct this process in the school.

From a qualitative approach, we analyze the teachers’ discourses of the Metropolitan Region about their representations on the political issues and the Politics and on the importance of curriculum and its possibilities for the attention to the diversity from the formation in citizenship. Results show the lack of problematization of diversity in this area. New contemporary phenomena such as valuing diversity require greater attention in the current processes of curriculum design for democratic coexistence.
