Debido al incremento de las iniciativas para el fomento del emprendimiento, existe la posibilidad de que los alumnos de las instituciones privadas y públicas estén trabajando como si estuvieran en mundos separados. Por lo tanto, en este estudio se pretende verificar si existe una brecha entre las preferencias de los alumnos de licenciatura para escoger un socio emprendedor. Los resultados indican que los alumnos de las privadas prefieren asociarse con personas de su círculo social o familia, mientras que los de las públicas se orientan más hacia el profesionalismo, inclusive por encima de amigos o de su familia. Desde estos resultados, se está abriendo una brecha entre ambos tipos de instituciones, por lo que es necesario que los alumnos se encuentren y trabajen juntos a través de estrategias como la participación en eventos de investigación, proyectos conjuntos y programas de vinculación entre instituciones. ABSTRACT: Because of the increase in initiatives for fostering entrepreneurship, there is the possibility that students from private and public institutions are working as if they were in separate worlds. Because of this, the objective of this study is to verify if there is a gap between the preferences of undergraduate students for selecting an entrepreneurship partner. Results indicate that students from private institutions prefer associations with people from their social circle or family, while those from public ones are more oriented to professionalism, even more than to friends or their families. From these results, there is an opening gap between both kinds of institutions, for which it is necessary that students meet and work together through strategies such as participation in research events, joint projects and programs among institutions.

El trabajo de investigación que se reporta busca hacer observables los posibles cambios en las trayectorias y perfiles del personal académico que podían atribuirse a la aparición e implementación, en la mayor parte de las Instituciones de Educación Superior públicas del país, de programas que tenían como objetivo el mejoramiento de los perfiles formativos, de producción e inserción internacional de los académicos, y que emplearon diferentes mecanismos de evaluación, diferenciación de ingresos y apoyos a la continuación de su formación. A través de definir una periodización que reflejara la aparición y modificaciones de dichas medidas, la propuesta de una tipología de las instituciones de educación superior y la adopción de una forma de organizar la diversidad disciplinaria, se intentaron controlar analíticamente los efectos paralelos que estos aspectos pudieran tener en la variación de condiciones de trabajo y socialización de los académicos. Con esta forma de organizar la diversidad se analizaron la evolución formativa, la combinación de actividades, el uso del tiempo, las opiniones y los resultados reportados por los académicos del país en la encuesta aplicada en 2001. Finalmente, en el trabajo que se presenta se subrayan algunos de los logros, tensiones y riesgos que parecen derivarse de las lógicas coexistentes en los mecanismos impulsados, especialmente en los ámbitos del compromiso institucional y la renovación de la planta académica actual.AbstractThe work of investigation that is reported looks for making observable the possible changes in the trajectories and profiles of the academic personal that could be attributed to the appearance and implementation, in most of the public Institutions of Higher Education of the country, of programs which  had like objective the improvement of the formative profiles, of production and international insertion of the academics, and that used different mechanisms from evaluation, differentiation of income and supports to the continuation of their formation. Through defining a periodization that reflected the appearance and modifications of these measures, the proposal of a typology of the institutions of higher education and the adoption of a form to organize the disciplinary diversity, were tried analytically to control the parallel effects that these aspects could have in the variation of conditions of work and socialization of the academics. With this form to organize the diversity were analyzed the formative evolution, the combination of activities, the use of the time, the opinions and the results reported by the academics of the country in the survey applied in 2001. Finally, this work emphasizes some of the profits, tensions and risks that seem to derive themselves from the coexisting logics in the impelled mechanisms, especially in the scopes of the institutional commitment and the renovation of the present academic plant.

Knowledge of genetics is crucial for understanding genetic and genomic tests and for interpreting personal genomic information. Despite this relevance, no data are available about the level of knowledge of genetics in an Ecuadorian population. This investigation sought to survey such knowledge in undergraduate students affiliated with private and public institutions in Quito, the capital city of Ecuador. A total of 350 individuals responded to a validated questionnaire measuring knowledge of genetics. Scores ranged from 45% to 87% (mean: 66.8%), and students achieved slightly better results when asked about genetics and diseases (mean score: 68.3%) than when asked about genetic facts (mean score: 64.9%). Additionally, no significant differences in performance were found among students from private and public institutions. Surprisingly, the lower score obtained (45%) was from a question about how chromosomes are passed to the next generation. The highly educated status of the surveyed population could explain the overall adequate results; nonetheless, the possibility that the correct responses were given by chance cannot be ignored. Therefore, the actual knowledge of genetics among the participants might be less than that revealed by the percentages of correct answers. Consequently, to achieve the goal of ensuring informed decision-making concerning genetic and genomic tests, it seems evident that the national education programs of Ecuador require improvement in teaching of genetic concepts.

No contexto do processo de globalização e da consequente reestruturação produtiva do capital, podemos visualizar um aspecto que pode ser considerado positivo, ou seja, a valorização da educação como umadas condições indispensáveis para o desenvolvimento econômico do país. Não obstante, verifica-se uma precarização das relações de trabalho dos docentes no ensino superior, de forma expressiva no trabalho do docentehorista das instituições privadas de ensino superior, categoria que representa a maioria dos assalariados da área educacional. A precarização do trabalho docente se estende também à questão salarial com a “flexibilização” dos contratos trabalhistas, sendo uma característica específica do momento atual, pois essa flexibilização se verifica no cenário trabalhista como um todo, atingindo praticamente todas as categorias. A intensificação do trabalho docente estende-se também a questão da “produtividade”, ou seja, o quanto o docente produz em termos de aulas ministradas, orientações concluídas e em andamento, publicações (em periódicos com Qualis/CAPES de expressão no meio acadêmico) dentre outras determinações de caráter quantitativo. Portanto, a análise sobre o universo dos trabalhadores da educação, especificamente o docente horista, torna-se de extrema importância, não somente em razão da depreciação salarial, como também pela excessiva jornada de trabalho, depreciação das condições físicas e emocionais e necessária regulamentação dessa categoria de trabalho docente.Palavras-chave: Trabalho docente. Relações de trabalho. Mercantilização da educação. EXPANSION OF HIGHER EDUCATION AND INSECURITY TEACHING JOB: the “hourly” job in private educationAbstract: In the context of globalization and consequent productive restructuring of capital, we can see an aspect that considered positive, that is to say, valuing education as one of the indispensable conditions for the country’s economic development. Nevertheless, precariousness in working conditions of higher education professors’ is evident, especially with hourly professors at private institutions. This is a category that represents the majority of employees in the education sector. Precariousness of teaching work also extends to the salary issue with the “flexibility” of the labor contracts with one current particular feature because this flexibility can be seen in the labor scenario as a whole, reaching virtually every category. The intensification of teaching work also extends to the issue of “productivity”, how much the professor produces in terms of the classes, completed guidelines and ongoing publications (in journals with Qualis / CAPES expression in academia) among other quantitative determinations. Therefore, analysis of the world of education workers, specifically hourly professors, becomes extremely important, not only because of wage depreciation, but also excessive working hours, depreciation of physical and emotional conditions and necessary regulation in this teaching category.Keywords: Professor’s work.

Sin embargo se comprueba una precarizacíon de las relaciones laborales de los profesores de educación superior, de manera expresiva en el trabajo de los que ganan por hora en las instituciones privadas de educación superior, una categoría que representa a la mayoría de los empleados en el área educacional. La precarización del trabajo de enseñanza se extiende también a la cuestión salarial con la “flexibilidad” de los contratos de trabajo, es una característica específica del momento presente, ya que esa flexibilización se encuentra en el escenario laboral como un todo, alcanzando prácticamente casi todas las categorías. La intensificación del trabajo docente se extiende también a la cuestión de la “productividad”, es decir, cuánto el docente produce en términos de clases impartidas, orientaciones concluidas y en curso, publicaciones (en periódicos con Qualis/ CAPES de expresión en el ámbito académico), entre otras determinaciones de carácter cuantitativo. Por lo tanto, el análisis sobre el universo de los trabajadores de la educación, en particular el docente asalariado por hora, se torna extremamente importante, no solamente en razón de la depreciación de los salarios, así como por una jornada laboral excesiva, depreciación de las condiciones físicas y emocionales y la necesaria reglamentación de esta categoria de trabajo docente.Palabras clave: Trabajo docente.

Introducción. El gobierno propuso posicionar a Colombia como un destino turístico de salud y bienestar, siendo uno de los objetivos aumentar los niveles de competencia del inglés en los profesionales de la salud. Esto se relaciona con la meta, para 2014, del Ministerio de Educación Nacional (MEN) de que 20% de los graduados deberían clasificar en nivel intermedio o superior en inglés.Objetivos. Analizar el cumplimiento de la meta establecida por el MEN para los graduandos de los programas de medicina.Materiales y métodos. Aproximación descriptiva y estadística (pruebas de proporciones paramétricas y no paramétricas) que empleó datos de la prueba Saber Pro (2011-2015) para los programas de medicina de las instituciones de educación superior de carácter académico universitario.Resultados. El porcentaje global de estudiantes que cumplió la meta (28.6%) fue satisfactorio; sin embargo, solo 18 de 43 (37.2%) programas de medicina la cumplieron.Conclusiones. El nivel de inglés de los potenciales graduados de los programas de medicina está alineado con la meta del gobierno. No obstante, hay mucho por mejorar si se tiene en cuenta que cerca del 70% de los futuros graduados de los programas de medicina no alcanza un nivel intermedio o superior en esta competencia.

An attempt by education agents to form professionals from higher education, to solve the demands of society, is the offer of Higher  Education Technology Courses. Among their characteristics, these courses must be offered in specific social contexts (local demands and needs) associated with short time academic training (from 2 to 3 years). Although these courses have been in existence since the 1970s, they had a greater emphasis since the 2000s, when the Brazilian legislation was updated and for the government incentives. From descriptive exploratory study, conducted a comparative analysis of the courses offered by public and private institutions. Specifically, analysis about the quantification of courses offered, the study vacancies offered, the graduating students and the relationships between courses, institutions, vacancies and graduating students were conducted. The analysis were performed from the microdata of the Higher Education Census, provided by the Ministry of Education, including data of Census from 2008 to 2017. Among the results obtained, we can highlight the practically linear growth of the offer of these courses, the contrasts between the courses offered by private and public institutions, and the low values for the graduating indicator, which resumes the high dropout rates.
