ABSTRACTThe subject is approached from the line of research of Teaching Innovation by the members of the research group: "Educational Innovation in Teaching and Learning Processes", of The Universidad Juárez Autónoma de Tabasco, which academic model contributes to the comprehensive education of students, resulting in the improvement of the quality of their education process and the strengthening of their abilities for their own benefit. The results show the students’ lack of information over the academic advice and the role of the advisor in the academic life of the university students. The research instrument used to measure the information were two semi-structured questionnaires applied to university students at different times from November 2012 to June 2013. The results show the need to raise awareness among students about the real objective of academic advice in their program advancement and the development of a personal education path.RESUMENEste trabajo presenta los resultados de un estudio sobre los universitarios y la opinión que tienen sobre la asesoría tutora que reciben de sus profesores universitarios en la División Académica de Ciencias Económico Administrativas, perteneciente a la Universidad Juárez Autónoma de Tabasco, en México. El tema se aborda desde la línea de la investiga-ción educativa, que cultivan los integrantes del grupo de investigación “Innovación Educativa en los Procesos de Enseñanza y de Aprendizaje”, de la Universidad Juárez Autónoma de Tabasco, cuyo modelo académico busca la formación integral del estudiante, así como mejorar la calidad de su proceso de aprendizaje, y potenciar capacidades que repercutan en su beneficio personal. El trabajo muestra evidencias de la desinformación que tienen los estudiantes sobre lo que es la tutoría y el rol que debe jugar el tutor y su habilidad pedagógica en la vida académica de los universitarios. Los instrumentos utilizados para la medición, fueron dos cuestionarios semiestructurados y aplicados en distintos momentos durante los meses de noviembre de 2012 a junio de 2013. Los resultados apuntan hacía la necesidad de concientizar a la población estudiantil sobre el verdadero objetivo que tiene la tutoría en el desarrollo curricular, y en la elaboración de una propuesta de trayectoria. Contacto principal: [email protected]

ResumoNeste artigo analisamos as relações com o saber, com o ensinar e com o aprender em atividades desenvolvidas em um subprojeto de Matemática no Programa Institucional de Bolsas de Iniciação à Docência (PIBID). Os dados consistiram no registro das ações realizadas em sala de aula por um supervisor (professor), seis estudantes da licenciatura em Matemática e alunos do Ensino Fundamental de uma escola pública do estado do Paraná, Brasil. Para a interpretação dos dados foi utilizado um instrumento que possibilita evidenciar as relações com o saber na sala de aula denominado Matriz 3x3. As análises revelaram implicações da ação do supervisor na ação tanto dos estudantes universitários quanto dos alunos da escola e, consequentemente, nas relações que estes estabeleceram com o saber, o ensinar e o aprender.AbstractIn this article we analyze the relationship with knowledge, with teaching and with learning in activities developed in a subproject of Mathematics in the Institutional Program of Initiation to Teaching (PIBID). The data consisted of the registration of actions carried out in the classroom by a supervisor (teacher), six undergraduate students in Mathematics and students of the Elementary School of a public school in the state of Paraná, Brazil. For the interpretation of the data we used an analytical instrument called Matrix 3x3. The analyses revealed the implications of the supervisor's action on the actions of the university students and of the school students and consequently on the relationships they established with knowledge, teaching and learning.

In this paper the behaviors and tendencies in the use of digital technologies by university students are analyzed. After a short discussion of former studies and the presentation of the model for digital literacy structure and assessment in students attending compulsory school, the investigation carried out by the authors is described and the results obtained from the analysis of the university students’ answers is reported. The survey was submitted to 331 students in the Faculty of Humanities at the University of Cassino, Italy, and the students’ answers show a contradictory reality: on one side, digital technologies are mainly used to communicate in social networks or to play music and movies, on another side it is evident the students’ interest for the most recent aspects of the application of digital technology and for the improvement in the quality of their use.

Developments in information and communication technologies have raised the issue of the intergenerational digital divide that can take place between “digital natives” and “digital immigrants”. Despite emphatic claims concerning how educational systems must take into account the specific characteristics of “digital natives”, sound empirical research on these topics is lacking, especially for Europe. This paper presents the results of research performed during the course of 2008, studying how university students in Italy use digital technologies. The research is based on a survey of 1086 undergraduate students at the University of Milan-Bicocca, complemented by focus groups and in-depth interviews. The results of our research show that, even if university students are familiar with digital technologies, the general possession of high level skills in accessing and using the Internet should not be taken for granted.

Surprising Finding

This paper reports the study of drug consumption carried out within the population of undergraduate students from 2 colleges of Alfenas, in the state of Minas Gerais state. Both licit and illicit drugs were studied, including alcohol, tobacco, marijuana, cocaine, heroin, crack, inhalants, glue, tranquilizers, stimulants, and others. METHODOLOGY: The research included a wide bibliographical search and the application of a questionnaire to approximately 23% of the students (total of 6500 students). RESULTS: A total of 1500 students participated in this investigation. The results demonstrated that there was a significant consumption of both licit and illicit drugs. The pattern of drug consumption in the research sample was similar to other investigations conducted in Brazil and in other countries. DISCUSSION: It was observed that 55% of the university students use drugs. However, the most surprising finding was that most of the students (88%) answered "yes" to the inquiry, "Have you already tried any type of drug, including alcohol and cigarettes?" The students revealed that they had taken drugs even prior to the admission to the university. The results suggest clearly that the university environment does not necessarily represent the starting point for student drug consumption.
