En primer término, se presentan diferentes abordajes y conceptos respecto a la evaluación y al conocimiento que genera. Posteriormente se discute el concepto de calidad en el desarrollo temprano y la calidad en la intervención educativa en la primera infancia.  Luego se realiza una reseña de los niveles de análisis de la realidad y los alcances de la evaluación. Finalmente, se aborda el tema central del artículo que consiste en los diferentes enfoques utilizados en la evaluación del desarrollo en la primera infancia, en sus diferentes etapas. El artículo concluye señalando que evaluar el desarrollo infantil es una tarea que implica un análisis multidimensional. Se señala la importancia de la evaluación en el desarrollo infantil temprano de tal forma a que los programas y servicios dirigidos a esta población logren los resultados esperados y permitan que niños o niñas alcancen los niveles de desarrollo en diferentes dominios necesarios para su aprendizaje a lo largo de la vida.

El FORO DE INVESTIGADORES se ha constituido en un espacio de diálogo y reflexión para la difusión y transferencia de experiencias y conocimientos en investigación, innovación y de gestión en diversas áreas del conocimiento.

La educación es un derecho humano para todos y a lo largo de toda la vida, por lo que se constituye en un principio fundamental para el desarrollo de un país. La formación de las personas a través del SEN es de vital relevancia para el desarrollo social y económico del país, y en consecuencia un desafío latente para las instituciones educativas comprometidas en la formación profesional, sobre todo en el Nivel Medio y en la Universidad.

Este Proyecto fue financiado por el CONACYT a través del Programa PROCIENCIA con recursos del Fondo para la Excelencia de la Educación e Investigación - FEEI del FONACIDE, siendo el objetivo principal del estudio es “describir la relación entre las competencias laborales demandadas por el sector productivo del país y la formación en Bachilleratos Técnicos de las modalidades Industrial y Agropecuaria de la Educación Media”, identificando categorías de articulación. Esto supone salirse del planteamiento de la dependencia de un sector en relación al otro, para pensar en los aspectos de adecuación conveniente que garanticen a los educandos del nivel mejores oportunidades de formación.

Analytical and descriptive statistics used to analyze data. Results: 32,2% (98) was victim of psychological violence; 8,6% (26) of physical violence; 8,6% (26) sexual abuse. There was association between (p < 0,000) victims of psychological violence and the ones who believed “who loves you hits you” and (p < 0,039) “if woman is hit by her husband, there must be a reason”. Correlation (p < 0,000) among victims of physical violence and agreeing with “who loves you hits you” and (p < 0,035) “if a woman is hit by her husband, there must be a reason”.

A descriptive, quantitative, non-experimental and cross-sectional study was carried out to determine the presence of Antisocial Disorder and Personality Factors in police officer candidates from Asunción. An intentional sample (N= 100) completed the Latin American adaptation Corderos and Seisdedos’ NEO-FFI Personality Inventory, 1999, which offers a quick and general examination of five personality factors. R Commander version 2.1 and Excel 2013 were used for data analysis. Female participants exhibited higher scores in all the factors evaluated by the instrument: neuroticism (p = .233; x1-x2 =. 165), extraversion (p = .463; x1-?x2 = .874), openness (p = .870; x1-x2 = .213), agreeableness (p = .001; x1-x2 = 3.18) and conscientiousness (p = .276; x1-x2 = 1.69). On the other hand, an inverse rela-tionship was found between the level in each of the dimensions evaluated and the partic-ipants’ age; as the age increased, the levels of neuroticism (p = .987, F = .23), extraver-sion (p = .334, F = 1.109), openness (p = .577, F = .554), responsibility (p = .840, X2 = 12.98) and responsiveness (p = .002; F = .175) decreased. Finally, 72% (f = 72) of those evaluated met the criteria for the diagnosis of Antisocial Personality Disorder.

The teaching function and the graduate profile in Chemical Engineering was intended as a study to serve as an example to investigate other professional careers, in such a way that higher education is strengthened in the substantive function of teaching and effectiveness in the profile of your graduates. For the research three dimensions of the teaching function were proposed: class planning, the implementation of teaching strategies and professional updating. The methodology that framed this Educational Research uses the Positivist Paradigm, the Quantitative Method of Deductive Reasoning and the Empirical-Analytical Approach. The graduation profile must be evidence of having completed a study plan within a Higher Education Institution. Terminal students in this career belonging to five institutions in Mexico were surveyed. The results in relation to the teaching function showed that class planning for the acquisition of knowledge prevails more than the development of skills related to the graduate profile in the Chemical Engineering career. Teaching and teaching strategies are important elements to achieve the objectives in each subject of a study program. The updating by the teachers is not more relevant than the planning and application of strategies, however; refers an enriching part for the formation of the students, therefore; it is recommended to reinforce teacher training programs at the higher level.
