Abstract. Legally irrelevant information like facial features is used to form judgments about rape cases. Using a reverse-correlation technique, it is possible to visualize criminal stereotypes and test whether these representations influence judgments. In the first step, images of the stereotypical faces of a rapist, a thief, and a lifesaver were generated. These images showed a clear distinction between the lifesaver and the two criminal representations, but the criminal representations were rather similar. In the next step, the images were presented together with rape scenarios, and participants (N = 153) indicated the defendant’s level of liability. Participants with high rape myth acceptance scores attributed a lower level of liability to a defendant who resembled a stereotypical lifesaver. However, no specific effects of the image of the stereotypical rapist compared to the stereotypical thief were found. We discuss the findings with respect to the influence of visual stereotypes on legal judgments and the nature of these mental representations.

El profesor agropecuario en el ejercicio de su profesión, despliega múltiples acciones de su actividad profesional pedagógica en los diferentes contextos de actuación, lo cual exige de una adecuada actualización científico-técnica en la especialidad que enseña, a partir de su encargo social. Esta investigación responde a la necesidad de contribuir al mejoramiento de uno de los problemas actuales de este subsistema: la superación profesional técnica de los profesores agropecuarios de la Educación Técnica y Profesional. En el estudio exploratorio, se constataron debilidades en el proceso de superación profesional técnica que se desarrolla en los centros politécnicos de Pinar del Río y que repercuten en el tratamiento adecuado de esta problemática. La utilización de los métodos de investigación científica: teóricos, empíricos y estadístico-matemáticos, permitieron elaborar una concepción pedagógica fundamentada desde la Educación Avanzada, la Educación de Posgrado y la pedagogía de la Educación Técnica y Profesional. La misma abarca tres componentes que en su dinámica permiten concebir un proceso en correspondencia con las exigencias del subsistema y la agricultura cubana actual. La valoración por criterio de expertos de la concepción pedagógica, su implementación en la práctica educativa y los progresos constatados en los indicadores evaluados, garantizan la validez científica, teórica y práctica de la propuesta. Palabras Clave: superación profesional técnica, profesor agropecuario, educación técnica y profesional ABSTRACT   The agriculture teacher, in the daily activities of his profession, carries out multiple pedagogical actions in different contexts, which demand an appropriate scientific-technical upgrading in the specialty that he is teaching because of his social compromise.This research responds to the need of contributing to the improvement of one of problems in this sub-system:  the technical professional upgrading of agriculture teachers in Technical and Professional Education.  In the exploratory study, weaknesses were verified in the process of professional upgrading developed at polytechnic schools in Pinar Del Río, and that they affect the adequate treatment of the problem.  The utilization of scientific research methods :  theoretical, empirical, statistical-mathematical, made it possible to build up a pedagogical concept  with foundations in Advanced Education, Graduate Education and pedagogy of Technical and Professional Education.  These cover three components that allow the conception of a process in correspondence with the demands of the subsystem and the current Cuban agriculture.    Assessment, by expert criteria on pedagogical conception, its implementation on educational practice, and proven progress of the assessed indicators, guarantee the scientific, theoretical and practical validation of the proposal.   Keywords: technical professional upgrading, agriculture teacher, technical and professional education     Recibido: septiembre de 2015Aprobado: noviembre de 2015
