Summary: Study that runs in their theoretical frameworks, the role played by communication in the society, and their theoretical frameworks, the role played by communication in society, and its impact on human beings to get properly assess new technologies information and communication and its emergence in the educational environment. Centered on the Internet, he traveled by their generic tools of communication, to describe in greater detail the specific mechanisms of discussion forums, and more specifically, the discussion forums designed specifically for teachers in Spain. The field work, focuses on the observation of the processes of communication and self that come together in a very specific discussion forum, after observing all the existing ones, appears to be best suited to the interests of the thesis. Try to answer, through a method largely qualitative questions to the learning environment through discussion forums, the internal processes that participants of the forums suffer any possible manipulation that might occur, both by the organizers of the forum as the other contertulios, cultural transmission that gives the system, and the constraints motivational. As a general conclusion, the thesis argues that the discussion forums for teachers constitute an environment in which dialogue, freedom and autonomy, facilitate the free exchange of information between teachers, the implementation in the classroom techniques and strategies, and the exchange of ideas and views philosophical, political and educational. All this leads to the generation of an area of learning in which selflessly and collaborative, the body of teachers cooperating in their own training and professional development, as well as opening up a new avenue of communication faculty representing a modest decline his discomfort traditional teaching, thanks to mitigate their sense of isolation. But these opportunities are not exempt from external dangers of manipulation and cultural conditions, which must be covered closely by the participants themselves, teachers, in order to achieve emancipation. For the teacher, observation of the forums for faculty, can be a useful tool for investigating the reality of teachers and their feelings and sentiments, which extract information vital to know in depth.

Summary: This study investigates the effect of an intervention Metacognitive listening in a Second Language (French) at the University. The learning strategies are outlined before and after treatment metacognitive to see their influence on the skills of the students, divided into control and experimental group. Students of English Philology, learn French one academic year and reflects on the variables of metacognition: person, task and strategy, incorporating a methodology training metacognitive strategies. It used various instruments to collect information: test DAT-VR (form L), questionnaire survey, Journal of understanding, several verbalizaciones and pretst and post-listening at the beginning and end. To assess the change in the consciousness of use of the strategies used the test statistic McNEMAR and for the results of performance in listening Student t test. The results demonstrate that the intervention increased awareness of the use of strategies, with variability dependent on the knowledge of the language. Strategies for Planning, Attention selective and inferences can be purchased more easily than others as directed Care, Assessment strategies and Somatización. Beginners use more the Development and the Non-Academic Beginners Care directed and Monitoring. The effects of this intervention on students are measured through statistical analysis of their skills in the post of listening. It showed that the experimental group scores are significantly higher and more homogeneous than the control group. Therefore, this argument concludes that the Metacognition conducive learning listening skills of a Second Language, improving the learning process and the performance of students in this skill.

Summary: This dissertation is a study of the operation of the schools Mothers and Fathers (EMP) Capital in Madrid. It fits in the field of pedagogy family, as is the training of parents and educators what is investigated in this work. Within the theoretical framework addresses issues that are at the base and the development task of educating parents: adult education and the participation of those in schools as a starting point for the development of any kind of programming designed to work with parents. It analyzes various alternatives and working methods in EMP It presents a brief history of the same as well as some general guidelines for creating a school of this kind. Linked entities engaged EMP, and other proposed activities, but not cooperating in its implementation or in the general training of parents. We have visited 103 schools in which parents had collected data and information on programming followed by each of them. This is achieved through questionnaires, which were completed by semi-structured interviews conducted those responsible / monitors each of the schools visited. A second step is to find out the views, expectations, motivations and outcomes of the experience of the parents participating in EMP, which we are using questionnaires -989 units in total, with the aim of obtaining results for the generality of parents. The background of the argument lies in the concern for the well-being of the Family, a victim of the vagaries that occur in a society in need of constant training support to overcome those difficulties.

Summary: The new information and communication technologies (ICT) constitute a new environment for communication with educational, influencing significantly in all forms of training courses, and distance semi, bringing enormous potential for transmission of information and communication linkages, surpassing the barriers of space and time. The new message is integrating multimedia signs acoustic, visual, both verbal and visual. The document is no longer space will be explored through interactive navigation, the text becomes hypertext and hypermedia audiovisual. The source of messages are wide on the Web, allowing quick access to many documents as never before. The new ICTs, for its effective implementation in the service of education, requires a new model communication, new signs, new message and a new way to interact with the actors and the environment. This research presents the model EmiRec hypermedia (MERHM) as a model ideal for educational environments based on the Web, which at its optimal implementation integrates the advantages of face-to-face communication (through the proper implementation of adaptation and translation operations transcoding) and the potential of multimedia. The model EmiRec hypermedia, it extends the traditional concept of the message including the frontloading and feedback from agents who exchange information through the use of new signs through the website which is defined how a supersigno, which integrates a set of Web images and whose physical characteristics imply significant differences with traditional signs. In our research we have conducted a study on the characteristics, use and meaning of the signs in the new environment that has enabled us to build a taxonomy of the Web images based on their applicability in the educational environments.

Summary: The main objective of this thesis is to examine the effects of the implementation of a program to teach a student to think of different intellectual capabilities. Increasingly, in the contexts school, the use of different programs that aim to develop skills and strategies of thought among students. To a large extent, this situation arose as a response to demands that the educational system and society in general require to achieve quality education, which is to develop the skills of all students and, in turn, respond to diversity. However, the effectiveness of these programs has not been sufficiently appreciated, hence the importance of this research. The "Adventure Learning to Think and Resolving Problems" has been designed under the premise that the thinking skills can be learned and are likely to instruction. Moreover, it highlights the role of motivation as the axis of the learning process and the development of attitudes and behaviors less impulsvias, more tolerant, more flexible search options, more creative, to accept different points of view, among others. The program aims to give an answer to improving school performance in subjects with less intellectual capacity and meet the educational needs of students potentially more capable than, for some reason kind of motivational or an inappropriate use of strategies thought, do not get adequate returns. From this perspective, specifically, the research presented here has as its main objective to study the effects that training with the Adventure Program produces boys and girls in three different groups: a group of 5Â eighth grade, a group of 1Â sixth high school, and a group of high intellectual capabilities, aged between 10 and 14 years of age. Following the implementation of Agenda Adventure for two school years, and after analyzing data and the newspaper's teacher, knowledge of learning strategies and problem-solving and creativity. Also, analyzing the results achieved in implementing the program subject to different intellectual capabilities, especially if one compares the performances of students in average capacity with students of high ability. After the training differences between the group of elementary and high intellectual capacities in the different variables, are scarce. Therefore we can say that the program benefits the students Adventure whether applied in specific groups, as if it applies to the entire school classrooms.

Summary: It starts from the perspective that the theory of evolution is one of the explanatory models needed to interpret our current reality and therefore an essential content in the context of science education for all citizens (mandatory education). It is believed that the model approach for explaining the origin of life, species and the human species, which operates in a given population, it is appropriate to highlight the views of the adult population, and away from the academic environment. To tackle this job, it selected a sample of the adult population, whose information does not exceed the stretch mandatory, and gave the following steps: * There were instruments (questionnaires) to try to make explanatory operating in the population sample on the origin of life, species and the human species. * To be categorized and analyzed the responses, associating basically two models explanatory (-- and evolutionist). * We compared the results obtained by different groups with different groups with different levels of academic training (without studies, primary, EGB and ESO). * Conclusions that were drawn on the one hand referred to the influence of scientific instruction received at the stretch of the educción mandatory, in the explanatory models of the adult population. * Moreover, the findings are trying to contribute elements of reflection for the design and consecucción of educational goals in science education for all citizens. The theoretical framework from which it has approached the study of the views of the sample population, has been to the theory of worldview Kearney (World View, 1984), applied to science education by Cobern ( World View Theory and Science Education Research, 1991). The data has been approached from a perspective both qualitatively and quantitatively.

Summary: PROBLEM The powers have become a central concept in the policy of ensuring the quality of higher education in Colombia, during the period 1990-2005. However, there are no studies on how it is used or on the reasons why it has become the focus of quality policy. OBJECTIVE determine how to use the concept of responsibilities in the political quality of higher education in Colombia, based on the analysis of its conceptual consistency, discipline and methodology, as well as its connections with the socio-economic processes. METHOD has been analyzed various official documents of the quality policy issued in the period between 1991 and 2005 related to the use of the notion of powers, along the lines of inquiry hermeneutics (G adamer, 199th) and the content analysis of Bardín (1986). RESULTS 1, - The concept of powers is beginning to be used on the quality policy for a recontextualización process, in which it takes the term used in the fields discipline and begins to use a different significance in higher education. 2-Supplementary to the recontextualización also occurs process taslación, carried a concept of education enterprise with significance in the form of competitiveness. 3 - The recontextualización like Carrier are influenced by the globalization of the economy and neoliberalism in Colombia that emerge from the year of 1990. 4-Due to the foregoing, the notion of powers is used with many meanings and does not have a clear concept and structure, which explains the disciplinary and methodological inconsistencies that occur in their employment strategies quality policy: review income, ECAES, Minimum Conditions of Quality and accreditation.
