El presente estudio muestra resultados de dos países latinoamericanos: Ecuador y Colombia. El objetivo general es conocer el tratamiento que asumen los jóvenes frente a la tecnología digital y los niveles de competencia mediática. Como objetivos específicos se plantea: definir los indicadores de referencia para medir el grado de competencia mediática en los jóvenes universitarios; evaluar de manera exploratoria los niveles y el grado de competencia mediática en las muestras seleccionadas de los dos países. La metodología utilizada para evaluar el grado de competencia mediática de los jóvenes de Ecuador y Colombia es la práctica de una aproximación exploratoria de corte descriptivo. Entre los hallazgos se evidencia la utilización de navegación a internet para habilidades más técnicas y operativas que valorativas al nivel de la competencia mediática. Se detecta la necesidad de establecer procesos de alfabetización mediática sistémicos y continuos. El análisis de estos datos podría ser considerado como base para el establecimiento de políticas públicas en educación mediática. Esta temática en estos países es incipiente y se agota en líneas generalistas propuestas en documentos públicos, concerniente a los planes de educación e iniciativas particulares que en la actualidad se muestran desarticuladas.   Media Competences of Young University Students from Ecuador and Colombia The present study shows results from two Latin American countries: Ecuador and Colombia. The general objective is to find out how young people get by in the face of digital technology and levels of media competence. The specific objectives are to define the reference indicators to measure the degree of media competence of university students, and to evaluate, in an exploratory way, the levels and the degree of media competence in selected samples from the two countries. The methodology used to evaluate the degree of media competence of young people in Ecuador and Colombia is to carry out an exploratory approach of a descriptive nature. Among the findings it is worth noting the use of Internet browsing for more technical and operational skills than valuations at the level of media competence. The need to establish systematic and continuous media literacy processes is identified. The analysis of these data could be considered a basis for the establishment of public policies in media education. This issue in these countries is emerging and it is exhausted in general lines as proposed in public documents, concerning the education plans and particular initiatives that are currently fragmented.   Palabras clave: competencias mediáticas, estrategia educomunicativa, estudiantes universitarios, contextos múltiples, alfabetización digital Key words: media competences, educommunicative strategy, university students, multiple contexts, digital literacy.

Indonesia has recognized the growing demand for information technology, with the most rapid adoption of this technology being amongst its young people. Within the perspective of a balanced knowledge information society, the adoption of technology is crucial for improving social development in developing countries and is considered a particularly important tool in education. The education sector is well-placed to harness the potential of ICT for the millennial generation in these societies. Based on a survey of students enrolled in a university in Jakarta, this study attempts to identify the learning and development opportunities available through digital technology by exploring both how university students in Indonesia use this technology, and how they experience and perceive the benefits of digital learning. In particular, we examine how their access to and use of technology is associated with their digital literacy and their perceived usefulness of ICT. In general, Indonesian university students are actively engaged in a number of diverse activities online, including educational activities, which in turn result in increased online learning outcomes. A better understanding of the role of digital literacy and learning environments and effective use of technology for learning can provide important insights into education and technology use in Indonesia and similar contexts.

Alfabetización Digital

En la actualidad, diferentes países del mundo han dirigido sus esfuerzos a elevar los estándares de calidad de sus sistemas educativos nacionales. Entre las prioridades aparece como una de la más relevantes las relacionadas con la alfabetización digital, entendida como las competencias que todo ciudadano y ciudadana debe desarrollar para considerarse alfabetizado en el siglo XXI. Dichas competencias refieren a la capacidad de utilizar las fuentes digitales de forma eficaz. Se trata de un tipo especial de mentalidad o pensamiento (Zapata-Ros, 2015). Con ello intentamos explicitar la concepción y el enfoque que sostenemos respecto de este tipo de alfabetización propia de las sociedades contemporáneas, es decir, informatizada o conocidas como sociedades del conocimiento y la información: un tipo de alfabetización que enfatiza aspectos cognitivos del trabajo en entornos digitales en comparación a otras definiciones que la conceptualizan focalizando en las habilidades técnicas involucradas en la utilización de dispositivos digitales. En este sentido, el presente artículo considera que la ausencia previa del desarrollo de tales competencias dificulta practicar otras habilidades propias del pensamiento computacional (en adelante PC) que implican la resolución de problemas mediante la utilización de ordenadores computacionales o en ausencia de estos. De lo anterior la preocupación y el objeto de reflexión de este trabajo se direcciona hacia conocer si los países latinoamericanos seleccionados, a saber, Argentina, Uruguay, Chile y México, han incorporado en el marco de sus políticas públicas de enseñanza las competencias y habilidades propias del PC y cuáles han sido las estrategias implementadas para concretarlo. Por último, el texto cuestiona la concepción acerca del PC que se deduce de las políticas y estrategias implementadas proveyendo una conclusión que destaca los enfoques respecto de cómo se conciben el aprendizaje de las competencias involucradas. Nowadays, different countries of the world have focused their efforts on raising the quality standards of their national educational systems. Among the priorities appears as one of the most relevant those related to digital literacy, understood as the skills that every citizen must develop to be considered literate in the 21st century. These competencies refer to the ability to use digital sources effectively. It is a special type of mentality or thought (Zapata-Ros, 2015). With this we try to explain the conception and the approach that we have regarding this type of literacy typical of contemporary societies, that is, computerized or known as societies of knowledge and information: a type of literacy that emphasizes cognitive aspects of work in digital environments compared to other definitions that conceptualize it focusing on the technical skills involved in the use of digital devices. In this sense, the present monograph considers that the previous absence of the development of such competencies makes it difficult to practice other abilities of computational thinking (PC) that involve the resolution of problems through the use of computer computers or in their absence. From the above, the concern and the object of reflection of this work is directed towards knowing if the selected Latin American countries, namely Argentina, Uruguay, Chile and Mexico, have incorporated their own skills and abilities within their public education policies of the PC and what have been the strategies implemented to specify it. Finally, the text questions the conception about the PC that is deduced from the policies and strategies implemented, providing a conclusion that highlights the approaches to how the learning of the competences involved is conceived.

Despite wavy national economies and a perception among observers that economic globalization is growing increasingly unpopular, aggregate support for free trade remains quite high across Latin America. This finding is robust to the wording of survey questions and has been quite resilient through time, even in the face of economic stagnation. Current theories of trade preferences, including the widely applied Heckscher-Ohlin model, do not explain this trend. Instead, the author proposes a theory of trade preferences based not on what citizens produce but on what they consume. Statistical analyses of different surveys, including one conducted in fourteen Latin American countries, demonstrate that a consumption-based approach best accounts for trade preferences across individuals and countries. Moreover, the theory provides an explanation for the overall popularity of free trade in Latin America: citizens recognize and appreciate the lower price, increased variety, and higher quality of goods that have come in the wake of trade liberalization.

The aim of the article is to study the repercussions of the beginning of the Spanish Second Republic and the rebellion of July 18 in various Latin American countries. The cases of Mexico, Argentina, Chile and Uruguay are studied in particular. These repercussions are analyzed in the framework of the rise of dictatorial and authoritarian governments in most of these countries with the exception of Mexico since the early 1930s. The way in which governments, the Spanish immigrant com-munities and the different social groups in these countries acted in the face of both episodes are studied. The repercussions generated by the anticlerical policy of the first government of the second republic are an-alyzed, especially in the face of the dissolution of the company of Jesus and the introduction of secular education. The tensions that these poli-cies provoked in Argentina and Chile and the support that the second republic obtained in Mexico are analyzed. On the other hand, the way in which the news of the uprising of July 18, 1936 was received is studied. The support for the army by the governments of Uruguay and Chile and, again, the support that the Spanish legal government obtained in Mexico is analyzed.

ResumenDesde hace más de una década, los países de América Latina se han sumado a los esfuerzos para facilitar la utilización de las Tecnologías de la Información y la Comunicación para el desarrollo. Comenzando por iniciativas en la educación en los ochenta y noventa hasta estrategias digitales actuales, se ha acumulado experiencia y revisión de la orientación de las políticas. A partir de estudios sobre la orientación de estas políticas es que constatamos que se ha producido un cambio en las mismas. En un inicio más tecnologicistas y orientadas por la centralidad de las TIC como impulsoras del bienestar y el desarrollo, hoy adquieren una mirada más compleja y sobre todo incluyendo las dimensiones sociales. ¿Se ha abandonado el paradigma dominante tecno-céntrico por otro más complejo? ¿Se refleja este cambio en la formulación y prioridades de las políticas?Palabras clave: políticas/ sociedad de la información/TICAbstractFor more than a decade, Latin American countries have joined efforts to enable the use of Information Technology and Communication for development. By starting with education initiatives in the eighties and nineties to current digital strategies, experience and review of policy guidance has been accumulated. From studies on the orientation of these policies is that we find that there has been a change in them. They were initially more technological and guided by the centrality of ICT as a driving force of welfare and development; today they have acquired a more complex view and above all including social dimensions. Has the dominant techno-centric paradigm been abandoned to a more complex one? Is this change reflected in the formulation of policies and priorities?Keywords: policy / information society / ICT

Entre las políticas energéticas ha adquirido creciente importancia la noción de “seguridad energética”, es decir, garantizar la continua disponibilidad de energía, en variadas formas, cantidades y a precios asequibles. El concepto de seguridad energética ha evolucionado desde su única asociación del suministro de petróleo, hasta incorporar conceptos ambientales y sociales relacionados con la energía. En los países de Latinoamérica la seguridad energética no deja de ser un problema, en este contexto, se hace necesario cuantificar la noción de “seguridad energética” y adaptarla a las necesidades nacionales y de ser posible a la realidad Latinoamericana con el fin contar con un modelo que sirva de instrumento para la planificación de políticas energética a largo plazo. En este artículo, se plantea un modelo cuantitativo para obtener un índice de seguridad energética, este modelo es aplicado para los países latinoamericanos cuyos resultados se compara con una investigación similar del Foro Económico Mundial. Palabras clave.- Energía, Seguridad Energética, Seguridad de Suministro, Modelo Estadístico. ABSTRACTBetween energy policy has become increasingly important the notion of "energy security", that is, ensuring the continued availability of energy, in various forms, quantities and at affordable rates. The concept of energy security has evolved from its unique combination of oil supply, to incorporate environmental and social concepts related to energy. In Latin American countries energy security continues to be a matter of national policy, in this context, it is necessary to quantify the concept of "energy security" and adapt to national needs and possibly the Latin American reality in order to have a model to serve as a tool for planning long-term energy policy. In this paper, proposed a quantitative model for an index of energy security, this model are applied for the Latin American countries whose results are compared with similar research of the World Economic Forum. Keywords.- Energy, Energy Security, Security of supply, Statistical Model.
