Competencias Digitales

Screens have gradually become a part of our daily routine, becoming the activity that occupies most of our daily hours of activity. It is therefore not trivial to study how they are used, especially when training on them has been, in most cases, autodidactic. In this regard, the subject of media competence arises as a set of skills, abilities, attitudes, and aptitudes that all people should possess to use and produce information in a critical and active way, in a communicational ecosystem that is increasingly reticulated, overloaded, and full of pseudo-content and misinformation. The current study, with an exploratory nature and quantitative design, analyzes the level of media competence of 1676 students and 524 professors from universities in Spain, Portugal, Brazil, and Venezuela. Among the emerging findings is evidence that the level of technological knowledge and interaction, linked to digital skills, is not only dependent on age, which contradicts the theories of “digital natives” and “migrants.” This research also reveals that, in general, the levels of media competence do not exceed the medium-low scale in both analyzed groups, when aspects such as language, technology, interaction, production and dissemination, ideology and values, and esthetics are taken into account. These results reveal that the university is not exempt from the social exclusion generated by the lack of media, digital, and information skills, coinciding with the results for Spain of the Digital literacy and education: country reports on the need to reduce the digital divide, which does not necessarily occur for age or geographical reasons. Resumen Paulatinamente las pantallas han comenzado a ser parte de nuestro quehacer, convirtiéndose en la actividad que más ocupa nuestras horas de actividad diaria. Por ello no resulta baladí estudiar de qué manera son utilizadas, sobre todo cuando la formación sobre las mismas ha sido, en la mayoría de los casos, autodidáctica. En esta línea surge la competencia mediática, como un conjunto de destrezas, habilidades, actitudes y aptitudes que todas las personas deberían poseer para consumir y producir información de manera crítica y activa, en un ecosistema comunicacional cada vez más reticular, sobresaturado y repleto de pseudo-contenidos y desinformación. En este trabajo, de naturaleza exploratoria y diseño cuantitativo, se analiza el nivel de competencia mediática de 1676 estudiantes y 524 profesores de universidades de España, Portugal, Brasil y Venezuela. Entre los resultados emergentes se demuestra que el nivel de conocimientos y de interacción tecnológicos, vinculado a las competencias digitales, no depende únicamente de la edad, lo que contradice las teorías de los «nativos» y «migrantes» digitales. Este estudio también revela que, en general, los niveles de competencia mediática no supera la escala medio-bajo en ambos colectivos de análisis, si se tienen en cuenta aspectos como lenguaje, tecnología, interacción, producción y difusión, ideología y valores, y estética. Estos resultados revelan que la universidad no está exenta de la exclusión social que genera la carencia de aptitudes mediáticas, digitales e informativas, coincidiendo con los resultados correspondientes a España del informe Digital literacy and education: Country reports sobre la necesidad de reducir la brecha digital, la cual no necesariamente ocurre por razones etarias o geográficas.

Methodological Strategy

Cultivating research competencies facilitated by the use of technology in the university is crucial to boost acquisition of knowledge, educational innovation, and successful professional development. The objective of this article is to analyze the evolution and characteristics of scientific production that has had the greatest impact on the momentum of investigative competencies and their articulation within technological scenarios. Applying various selection criteria in the Scopus database, we utilized systematic, bibliometric mapping as a methodological strategy in which 250 articles related to the topic were identified, then analyzed with the semantic analysis software VOSViewer. The results indicate that there is an emerging line of research on the subject since 2016 and point to the underdevelopment of lines that associate research skills with digital literacy, information literacy, digital libraries databases, and the development of critical thinking.

Insight Into

[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] This study addresses Lacan's comments on Marx. While much has been done towards reading Marx with psychoanalysis generally, little had has been done to unpack the meaning and extent of Lacan's own statements on Marx. For example, while Lacanian Marxists like Slavoj Zizek have wielded Lacan to great effect in a critique of post-structuralism, they have neglected the full meaning and complexity of Lacan's own stance. What is argued thereby is that Zizek not only omits the discrete knowledge within Lacan's commentary, but misses what I describe as a Lacan's theory of the social. On the one hand, it is commonly known in Lacanian thought that discourse is responsible for making the subject. On the other hand, what is less known is that Lacan defined discourse as that which makes a social link which, in contrast with Marxist thought, introduces a certain affect and materialism premised on discourse itself, commonly known, but also for providing the underlying strata of topology (namely, paradox) requisite for making any social link between subjects. Although less commonly known, we can nevertheless gain new insight into Marx. On the one hand, Lacan concedes Marx's underlying structuralism. On the other hand, Marx fails to see the true source of discourse's origins, the real itself, and consequently fails to see the true efficacy of discourse. He fails to see how discourse, although negative, stands as entirely positive and material in its distinctive effects. Discourse negotiates subjects and their inimitable objects of desire in this singularity itself. This is where true production lies; it is that which precedes any social or economic theory, which are otherwise premised on reality. Lacan rejects reality.

Objectives: to discuss the historical trajectory of health policies in Brazil, contrasting the paradigms flexenerian and the social production of health; to deal the range of cultural and ideological factors in historical development in the social field of health, relating them to the role of the University. Methods: we analyzed the subject from different authors who discussed the matter in order to detect the approach of the relationship between the paradigms and models of health care in the economic, political and cultural predominance. Results: the Universities have contributed to the discussions about the paradigms inherent in the social context of public health in Brazil, assuming the role of training, update and improve the content of their curricula, as well as to respond the demands arising from the society. Conclusion: we concluded that this situation was crucial in the development of the emerging paradigm and that the University has an important role in the formation of professional critics, and reflective participants in structuring a new paradigm. Descriptors: healthy city; education; health policy.

The subject of this research is the activity of Moscow Law Society (1865-1899). Its work is demonstrated in legal and political aspect of the development of public self-organization in Russia in the late XIX century. Emphasis is made on the aspects of activity of the organization pertinent to sociopolitical problematic, development of legal culture, ideas and practices of legal state, as well as contribution of members of the society to the development of liberal movement. The author also analyzes publishing activity of the society, and collaboration with the county self-governance. It is demonstrated that over the time of its existence, Moscow Law Society walked the path from a coterie in the university, which main goal was the discussion of questions of judicial reform and law, to the social significant organization that turned into a political association. The testimony to that is the particular results achieved by the society, as well as the actions of authorities with regards to its closure.

The skill of empathy is mentioned among the basic skills included in the Social Studies Course Teaching Program of the Ministry of National Education. The social studies course is one of the most important courses in which students are made to acquire the information, skills and values which are required to become an effective citizen. Communication has an important place in the achievement of these goals. Empathy is very important in the establishment of effective communication. For this reason, the study aimed to examine the concept of empathy, one of the basic skills included in the Social Studies Course Teaching Program. Afterwards, in the study, it was also aimed to reveal if the students taking postgraduate education in universities in Turkey investigated into the skill of empathy included in the social studies course teaching program in terms of carious variables. For this purpose, the master’s and doctoral theses written under the heading of empathy in the field of Social Studies Education at universities in Turkey between the years of 2000 and 2019 and recorded at the official website of the Higher Education Council National Thesis Center were examined. A total of 17 theses were reached. The data of the study was evaluated in tems of the publication year of the thesis, the gender of the researcher, the university where it was published, the sample groups, the methods of investigation and the subjects of investigation. In the study, the document analysis technique, one of the qualitative research methods, was used.

Status Of Women

Contemporary society has discovered—or in some cases been forced to discover—the worth of women. Historians have provided valuable insights into the social, cultural, and legal status of women in an effort to highlight the roots of attitudes that have excluded women from positions of power in the western world. Much of this research has focused upon new ways of viewing history, and the fine series of monographs Women in Culture and Society being published by the University of Chicago Press provides a prime example of the new awareness of the distaff side of history. Yet, little attention has been paid to some of the most basic assumptions of past generations of medieval historians about women and society. The claim that male chauvinist attitudes are founded in the primative Germanic concept of a warrior fraternity from which women were physiologically excluded from membership was already hoary when Fritz Kern published his classic account of medieval law and society in 1914. The comitatus band of Tacitus has been seen as a central component of the leitmotiv that produced chivalry. The chivalric love ethic has, of course, received great attention from women's historians, but the chivalric orders into which such views were distilled have been largely ignored.The traditional view of the chivalric orders as fossilized parodies of the values they espoused so eloquently advocated by Johan Huizinga's The Waning of the Middle Ages still holds the field. Only in the last year have the chivalric orders been rehabilitated as genuine expressions of the human values of their age. The position of women within the tradition of the chivalric orders is worth a look for the intrinsic interest of the subject and for the insights that the investigation provides into the shifts in attitudes toward females over the centuries. The chivalric orders, and the Arthurian legends that inspired them, placed a high value on women, much higher than the earlier chansons de geste. While it is true that this tradition tended to place the lady upon a pedestal from which her daughters have fought to climb down, the greatest and longest lasting of these late-medieval chivalric fraternities, the Order of the Garter, also gave women a role in its celebrations.

This article examines how segregation contributes to the perpetuation of disadvantage over time and across generations. It first traces the historical origins of segregation and reviews early substantive and theoretical work done on the subject at the University of Chicago. It then considers the most commonly used measure of segregation as well as the social mechanisms by which residential segregation is produced, with particular emphasis on the paradigmatic case of African Americans in the twentieth century. It also discusses newer mechanisms that have been advanced to promote racial-ethnic segregation in the twenty-first century and how it fosters socioeconomic inequality through the spatial concentration of poverty. Finally, it describes current levels and trends with respect to both racial and class segregation in cities around the world.
