El objetivo principal de este estudio es conocer la percepción de los docentes de música de Educación Secundaria acerca del uso del libro de texto. A tal fin, se ha optado por una metodología de estudio de caso, cuya muestra está formada por cinco profesores de diferentes centros educativos de la Región de Murcia. Para la recogida de datos se ha diseñado una entrevista estructurada en cuatro secciones que aporta información sobre los datos personales, aspectos organizativo-didácticos, práctica docente e ideología. Tras la realización de un análisis descriptivo de los datos, los resultados revelan que la búsqueda de orientación y recursos es una de las principales razones por las que el profesorado opta por el uso del libro de texto. Por el contrario, la flexibilidad y la libertad de planificación son los argumentos esgrimidos por los docentes que no utilizan este recurso. Todos los profesores participantes consideran que las editoriales cuando diseñan sus materiales anteponen criterios de facturación a criterios pedagógicos. Asimismo, coinciden en que el futuro del libro de texto es incierto y auguran su desaparición a medio plazo.AbstractThis study main purpose is to know the music secondary teacher’s perception about using or not a textbook.

Background: Bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation can improve the survival rate of patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. Teaching cardiopulmonary resuscitation in schools by teachers is one of the ways to increase the number of bystanders who can perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Nevertheless, there have been no studies on the readiness of teachers in Hong Kong to teach cardiopulmonary resuscitation in their schools. Objective: To assess whether secondary school teachers are prepared to teach their students cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Methods: This was a questionnaire survey. Teachers from 22 local secondary schools were recruited. The questionnaires were designed with questions covering their knowledge about cardiopulmonary resuscitation and attitudes towards teaching their students cardiopulmonary resuscitation. A knowledge score and attitude score were calculated. Result: 557 teachers completed the questionnaires. Most had never witnessed a cardiac arrest and over half of them had never been trained cardiopulmonary resuscitation or use of an automated defibrillator. About 25% of them answered all questions on knowledge wrong. Only 25% supported teaching cardiopulmonayr resuscitation in schools and 32% were willing to teach it. Legal liability was a major concern. Conclusion: Local teachers’ readiness for teaching students cardiopulmonary resuscitation in secondary schools is likely poor. More efforts are required to raise their knowledge level on cardiopulmonary resuscitation and instill a positive attitude towards cardiopulmonary resuscitation education in schools.
