La presente investigación tiene como objetivo evaluar la incidencia del estilo de vida en el rendimiento académico de los estudiantes de la Universidad Estatal Península de Santa Elena UPSE, el proyecto está enmarcado en conocer los estilos de vida de los estudiantes, que actividades hacen en sus tiempos libres, y en muchos de los casos porque su rendimiento académico  disminuye, mediante  técnicas de observación y  entrevistas se determinó que los estudiantes pasan estresados, no llevan un estilo de vida saludable, realizan poco deporte, pasan navegando en la redes sociales, les gusta ver mucho la televisión, y dedican pocas horas para estudiar. Es por ello la importancia y el desarrollo de este proyecto para dar a conocer a las autoridades que hacen sus estudiantes fuera de la universidad y en que emplean sus tiempos libres. La metodología que se aplico fue de dos tipos, investigación cuantitativa y cualitativa, entre los resultados del análisis de los cuestionarios y el focus groups, se determinó que los estudiantes dedican dos horas para estudiar, a veces no asisten a clases por enfermedad, pereza, o se quedan dormidos, les gusta jugar futbol, salir a fiestas, consumen bebidas alcohólicas, consumen tabaco, navegan dos horas y más en las  redes sociales, viajan poco por falta de recursos, y en la mayoría de los casos no desayunan, leen poco, el cual en gran medida afecta  su rendimiento académico.AbstractThe present investigation has as objective to evaluate the incidence of the lifestyle in the academic yield of the students of the University State Peninsula of Santa Elena UPSE, the project is framed in knowing the lifestyles of the students that activities make in their free times, and in many of the cases because its academic yield diminishes, by means of technical of observation and interviews it was determined that the students spend stressed, they don't take a healthy lifestyle, they carry out little sport, they pass navigating in the social nets, they like to see the television a lot, and they dedicate few hours to study. It is for it the importance and the development of this project to give to know to the authorities that make their students outside of the university and in that use their free times. The methodology that you applies was of two types, quantitative and qualitative investigation, between the results of the analysis of the questionnaires and the focus groups, was determined that the students dedicate two hours to study, they don't sometimes attend classes for illness, laziness, or they are sleeping, they like to play soccer, to leave to parties, they consume alcoholic drinks, they consume tobacco, they navigate two hours and more in the social nets, they travel little for lack of resources, and in most of the cases they don't have breakfast, they read little, which affects its academic yield in great measure.

Improving the quality of students’ life is an important task for every university and the educational system as a whole, which fits into the aims of the studies of the social dimension of students’ life. To solve this task, the study of students’ problems is a priority, while the second step can be the creation of university structures that would solve these problems effectively. The article presents an ideal model of the consulting center that can solve such problems. The authors conducted four focus groups in the RUDN University with students of different courses from different countries, and used projective techniques and group discussions to identify models of the consulting center, departments that it should consist of, and qualities of employees working in these departments. The general model of the consulting center includes an information department as its ‘core’ responsible for the distribution of students’ requests to necessary departments; IT department (site, corporate mail, etc.); department of social support (scholarships, financial support, etc.); residence department (registration, dormitory, etc.); department of science and education (grants, competitions, etc.); student committee (leisure). The students prefer to receive all necessary information online, by phone and also in person. The preferred social network for information is Facebook - for foreigners - and VK (Vkontakte) - for Russian students. The students also mentioned three main languages for distribution of information - Russian, English and Chinese. The focus-groups allowed to find out that although some necessary units designed to solve students’ problems already exist, they do not actually solve them due to bureaucratic or other reasons. Therefore, the proposed model of the consulting center can be an effective management solution ‘from the bottom’ that would help the university to communicate with students and to understand their real needs.

Argentina es el país que mayores volúmenes de fernetconsume en el mundo. En el 2012 se intentó llevar a cabo en Mendiolaza (Provincia de Córdoba, Argentina), un festival popular alrededor del fernet, para romper un record Guinness. Sin embargo, una disputa que se inició entre diversos actores (sociedad civil, gobiernos y empresa) terminaría sepultando laFernet Fest. Pese a no realizarse dicho evento, los debates expresados a través de distintos medios de comunicación en aquel contexto enriquecieron, desde las ciencias sociales, las distintas aristas de la discusión en torno a la gastronomía y el turismo. El objetivo de este trabajo fue analizar los emergentes que surgieron en torno al mencionado debate en el marco de la eventual realización de la Fernet Fest. Metodológicamente, se utilizó etnografía virtual para el análisis de artículos de diversos medios gráficos, como así también de sitios de internet y redes sociales. A través del análisis de las diversas voces, fue posible delinear los principales argumentos que surgieron a favor y en contra de la realización del festival, que consideramos son importantes a la hora de pensar sobre las festividades vinculadas al turismo que tienen como componentes centrales las bebidas alcohólicas. Palabras claves:turismo, gastronomía, festividades, fernet,Argentina   Argentina is the country that consumes the largest volumes of fernet in the world. In 2012, a popular festival around fernet was attempted in Mendiolaza (Province of Córdoba, Argentina) to break a Guinness record. However, a dispute that began between various actors (civil society, governments and company) would end up burying the Fernet Fest. In spite of not having said event, the debates expressed through different press in that context enriched, from the social sciences, the different edges of the discussion around gastronomy and tourism. The objective of this work was to analyze the emerging arguments that arose around the mentioned debate in the framework of the eventual realization of the Fernet Fest. Methodologically, virtual ethnography was used to analyze articles from various newspapers, as well as from internet sites and social networks. Through the analysis of the different voices, it was possible to delineate the main arguments that arose in favor and against the realization of the festival, which we consider important when thinking about the festivities linked to tourism, whose main components are alcoholic drinks.

The aim of this study was to detect leaders among a group of university students based on their centrality scores and, from these scores, to distribute roles to help enhance learning climate. We understood that learning climate improved when the construction of networked knowledge was stimulated from the perspective of Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning. We conducted the educational experiment in a virtual environment. An online discussion forum was set up in a loo- sely structured format, and the students’ centrality scores were calculated from the social network they generated in the forum. Our findings show that student connectivity increased significantly and that several leadership styles were detected. Based on these leadership styles we designed strategies for optimizing learning climate in a self-regulated and stable way. Based on the type of centrality, we detected leaders in terms of their popularity, sociability, closeness to others, control of information flowing through the network, and influence. The novelty of this study resides in the incipient production of educational technology based on Social Network Analysis and, specifically, on the design of centrality-based strategies for optimizing climate in the university classroom.

O artigo apresenta uma reflexão sobre colaboração interuniversitária em redes e grupos nacionais e internacionais de pesquisa na contemporaneidade, com ênfase no seu valor, nos seus impasses e nos desafios impostos às pessoas e aos grupos participantes. O trabalho parte do suposto de que cenário acadêmico brasileiro exige do professor pesquisador o ajuste dos interesses pessoais aos coletivos de pesquisadores e, ao mesmo tempo, a resposta às exigências advindas do modelo concorrencial que orienta a produção científica na contemporaneidade. Tomando isso em consideração, busca-se subsidiar os interessados na escolha das modalidades de pesquisa colaborativa e dos tipos de projetos, contribuir para a organização da divisão do trabalho no interior das equipes de pesquisa e, quem sabe, no encorajamento de coletivos de pesquisadores a empreenderem projetos colaborativos. Tendo como referencial metodológico a análise de redes sociais, a pesquisa valeu-se de estudos bibliográficos e de reflexões sobre a prática cotidiana da pesquisa em grupo no âmbito da produção científica universitária, inclusive a partir da inserção do autor deste artigo em um coletivo voltado à constituição de uma rede interuniversitária de investigação em educação. The work in networks and groups of research collaboration: contemporary challenges AbstractThe paper represents a reflection about inter-university collaboration in national and international networks and research groups in contemporary society, with emphasis on their value, their dilemmas and challenges posed to people and groups participating in it. The work stems from the assumption that Brazilian academic scenario requires the teacher researcher the adjustment of personal interest to the collective of researchers and at the same time the answer to the requirements arising from the competitive model that guides the scientific production nowadays. Taking this into consideration, the paper tries to subsidize those interested in determining the collaborative research and the types of projects, contribute to organize the division of labor within the research teams, and perhaps encourage collective of researchers to undertake collaborative projects. The methodological reference of the research was the social network analysis, bibliographic studies and reflections on everyday research group practice within the university scientific production, including the experience from the author of this article into a collective that aimed to establish an inter-university network education research.Keywords: Research Networks.

When interacting on a learning task, which is typical of several academic situations, individuals may experience two different motives: Understanding the problem, or showing their competences. When a conflict (confrontation of divergent propositions) emerges from this interaction, it can be solved either in an epistemic way (focused on the task) or in a relational way (focused on the social comparison of competences). The latter is believed to be detrimental for learning. Moreover, research on cooperative learning shows that when they share identical information, partners are led to compare to each other, and are less encouraged to cooperate than when they share complementary information. An epistemic vs. relational conflict vs. no conflict was provoked in dyads composed by a participant and a confederate, working either on identical or on complementary information (N = 122). Results showed that, if relational and epistemic conflicts both entailed more perceived interactions and divergence than the control group, only relational conflict entailed more perceived comparison activities and a less positive relationship than the control group. Epistemic conflict resulted in a more positive perceived relationship than the control group. As far as performance is concerned, relational conflict led to a worse learning than epistemic conflict, and - after a delay - than the control group. An interaction between the two variables on delayed performance showed that epistemic and relational conflicts were different only when working with complementary information. This study shows the importance of the quality of relationship when sharing information during cooperative learning, a crucial factor to be taken into account when planning educational settings at the university.

Yzerbyt, Rogier and Fiske (1998) argued that perceivers confronted with a group high in entitativity (i.e., a group perceived as an entity, a tight-knit group) more readily call upon an underlying essence to explain people's behavior than perceivers confronted with an aggregate. Their study showed that group entitativity promoted dispositional attributions for the behavior of group members. Moreover, stereotypes emerged when people faced entitative groups. In this study, we replicate and extend these results by providing further evidence that the process of social attribution is responsible for the emergence of stereotypes. We use the attitude attribution paradigm ( Jones & Harris, 1967 ) and show that the correspondence bias is stronger for an entitative group target than for an aggregate. Besides, several dependent measures indicate that the target's group membership stands as a plausible causal factor to account for members' behavior, a process we call Social Attribution. Implications for current theories of stereotyping are discussed.
