(Universidad de Murcia. Servicio de Publicaciones, 2013-01-07) García Herrero, Mª de las Mercedes
This paper aims to analyze the use of language learning strategies in foreign language learning by graduate students. Two main objectives of this study are: 1) to analyze the use of the categories of language learning strategies in studying a foreign language, and 2) to determine the use of specific strategies which make up category. The results reveal that students tend to use Metacognitive and Affective strategies. Learners use the rest of language learning strategy categories following this order: Compensation, Cognitive, Social and Memorization.

Análisis bibliométrico de la Revista de Investigación Educativa (2000-2012)
(Universidad de Murcia. Servicio de Publicaciones, 2013-01-07) Ariza, Tania; Quevedo-Blasco, Raúl
A bibliometric analysis of the Revista de Investigación Educativa was performed in order to analyse the evolution and characteristics of its scientific production. Analysis of 366 published papers between 2000 and 2012 was conducted based on indicators such as year of publication, language, methodology, sample type, research context, topic, authorship index, institutional affiliation, and productivity by country. The information was obtained from the electronic version of the journal. We used the IN-RECS and JCR database in order to get other bibliometric indicators such as citations, most cited authors, impact index, and specialities or journals of the Journal Citation Reports (JCR) in which authors quote most. Results show specific information about scientific production, as well as strengths and weaknesses. We discuss those aspects that should be promoted and others which may need improvement, so that the journal may be more widely spread.

School Leadership in a Contradictory World
(Universidad de Murcia. Servicio de Publicaciones, 2013-01-07) Moos, Lejf
The article captures important trends and tendencies in public governance and thus in conditions for school leadership. The general movement towards Globalization influences the core trends in national policies and in public governance. But international discourses and practices are formed in national or regional contexts of culture, practice and politics. The author is part of a Nordic context and therefore he observes governance and leadership from this point. But it is possible to translate the analyses to other contexts as well. An analyse of some of the effects of the meetings of transnational influences with national values and practises are discussed in the case of Danish education and school leadership. School leaders are left with a number of dilemmas between traditional, welfare state values and neo-liberal values. They have to find locally satisfying balances between academic proficiencies and competences of curiosity and deliberation.

Are discourse comprehension and cognitive processes influenced by the type of language language (English and Spanish)? A cross-language study based on elaborative inferences generation
(Universidad de Murcia. Servicio de Publicaciones, 2013-01-07) Escudero Domínguez, Inmaculada; León, José A.; Morera, Yurena
El objetivo de este trabajo es determinar si los procesos de comprensión del discurso, en especial los diversos tipos de inferencias que se activan durante la lectura, están o no influidos por la lengua materna (inglés vs. español), tal y como apuntan algunas teorías sobre el relativismo lingüístico. En este estudio, consistente en una tarea de pensamiento en voz alta, participaron 20 estudiantes universitarios norteamericanos y 20 españoles. Los resultados obtenidos sugieren que la activación de inferencias no está restringida a las diferencias idiomáticas. Por el contrario, los datos apoyan la idea de que la activación de inferencias refleja un patrón universal en los procesos cognitivos.

Las competencias emocionales en el ámbito afectivo-sexual de los adolescentes autóctonos e inmigrantes
(Universidad de Murcia. Servicio de Publicaciones, 2013-01-07) Soriano Ayala, Encarnación; González Jiménez, Antonio José
Part of adolescence develops during secondary education years, which is an ideal time to work on emotional relation by means of various emotional competences. This study was carried out on Spanish and immigrant adolescents, and aims to identify emotional competences adolescents use to solve conflicts that may arise in their affective-sexual relations, so that guidelines for educational intervention in multicultural schools may be suggested. The approach undertaken was focused ethnography. The sample comprised 80 adolescents of eight nationalities. Data were collected by means of semi-structured interviews. A set of categories was identified for the analysis of data. Two key findings were: 1) culture influences affective-sexual relations and the construction of emotional competences, and 2) the fact that classrooms are multicultural is positive because it facilitates educational intervention in emotional competences in the affective-sexual field.

Análisis del uso de estrategias de recuperación de la información por alumnos con alta capacidad intelectual (9-14 años) en función del género, edad, nivel educativo y creatividad
(Universidad de Murcia. Servicio de Publicaciones, 2013-01-07) Marugan de Miguelsanz, Montserrat; Carbonero Martín, Miguel Ángel; León, Benito; Galán, Manue
In this paper the relation between high intellectual capabilities and information retrieval strategies are studied. The variables are: sex, age, educational level and creativity. Strategies were measured with the ACRA Scales (Román and Gallego, 1994, 2004). General intelligence was measured with the "g" Factor Test (Cattell and Cattell, 1990) and the Progressive Matrices Test (Raven, 1996). Creativity was analyzed using the TAEC Abreaction Test (de la Torre, 1991). Primary School and Compulsory Secondary Education students (aged 9-14) from Castilla y León (Spain) were chosen because of their high intellectual capability. Results show a significant association between general intelligence and information retrieval strategies. Age determines to some extent the use of strategies. The relation between a high intellectual capability and creativity only promotes the use of Written Answer strategies. A revision of evaluations of perceived use versus evaluations of real use of strategies is proposed.

La construcción de la identidad nacional española a través de los cuadernos escolares (1957-1959)
(Universidad de Murcia. Servicio de Publicaciones, 2013-01-07) Sanchidrián Blanco, Carmen; Arias Gómez, Bárbara
El proceso de construcción de la identidad nacional que se llevó a cabo en las escuelas durante el nacional-catolicismo, quedó reflejado en los cuadernos escolares que los alumnos elaboraron en el desarrollo de su actividad diaria. Los cuadernos son un medio en el que han permanecido todos los elementos de integración que permitieron producir, desde la escuela, el concepto de identidad nacional pretendido. En ellos se observa, cómo se trata de un hecho cognitivo y emocional que la escuela debía promover y que se creó partiendo de la interacción de los alumnos en un contexto en el que predominaban por un lado, aspectos como la autoestima individual y colectiva asociadas a la idea de España, y por otro, los sentimientos y emociones que el franquismo pudo despertar en los jóvenes.

Evaluación de las competencias de los estudiantes: modelos y técnicas para la valoración
(Universidad de Murcia. Servicio de Publicaciones, 2013-01-07) Medina Rivilla, Antonio; Domínguez Garrido, Mª Concepción; Sánchez Romero, Cristina
Competence is an essential element in innovative educational models in the European area, and a basic framework for teaching, yet also a controversial issue for those who believe that teaching students should go beyond competence acquisition. General and specific competences are necessary in continuous education models focused on life-long learning. This paper presents a developmental study on the acquisition of professional competences by Psychopedagogy students during a period of three years. It shows that the model, methods, and competence assessment have consolidated, thus reflecting how these may be mastered when they are integrated into life projects and professional practice.

Correspondencia entre la ideología político-educativa del franquismo y el contenido de las asignaturas obligatorias de moral profesional y religión de los estudios enfermeros
(Universidad de Murcia. Servicio de Publicaciones, 2013-01-07) Hernández Conesa, Juana María; Torralba Madrid, María José; Navarro Perán, María Ángeles
In this study we analyzed the relationship between ideology and educational policy in nursing studies during the Franco regime in Spain. Using Gadamer´s analysis of the Contents of compulsory subjects such as Professional Morality and Religion, this study showed the crucial influence of the Catholic Church in teaching. Also, we initiated and developed a discussion, unexplored until then, on Contents and Recipients, which led us to conclude that nursing studies during the Franco regime were defined to be "aimless". A change in the terminology from Nurse to Registered Nurse set aside other educational objectives related to the development of scientific and critical thinking skills. This implies a social redefinition in teaching.

Juegos deportivos y emociones. Propiedades psicométricas de la escala GES para ser aplicada en la Educación Física y el Deporte
(Universidad de Murcia. Servicio de Publicaciones, 2013-01-07) Lavega Burgués, Pere; March Llanes, Jaume; Filella Guiu, Gemma
The aim of this study was to validate the Games and Emotions Scale (GES) based on three types of emotions (positive, negative, and ambiguous) in four sports game scenarios related to different motor action domains. The study was conducted on 851 Physical Education and Sports students from four Spanish, one English, and one Portuguese university. The GES yield an adequate reliability and values of internal consistency. We obtained good construct validity that confirmed the factor structure of the scale in the three types of emotions and also highlighted the need to differentiate between the four motor action domains. Convergent validity showed good results when comparing the GES with the Profile of moods states questionnaire (POMS). Content validity confirmed that the structure of the GES is adequate to study the relation between sports games and emotions. In conclusion, validity and reliability of this questionnaire to record the intensity of emotions in sports games were confirmed.

Los resultados de los estudiantes en un proceso de evaluación con metodologías distintas
(Universidad de Murcia. Servicio de Publicaciones, 2013-01-07) Mingorance Arnáiz, Cristina; Calvo Bernardino, Antonio
When we use a teaching methodology to strengthen different skills, we need to adapt our evaluation procedures to assess to what extend skills have been achieved. A teaching system focused on teaching skills may have an adverse effect on learning. Our goal is to identify if the use of different teaching methodologies has a positive impact on student learning, and if there are particular kinds of tasks that may be more appealing or appropriate for student, so that they pass exams. In order to do this, we use results obtained by students during several academic years.

Descripción de procesos en la composición escrita de estudiantes universitarios para un desarrollo multilingüe y tecnológico.
(Universidad de Murcia. Servicio de Publicaciones, 2013-01-07) González, Rosario Arroyo
The purpose of this investigation is to describe the cognitive-linguistic, metacognitve-affective, and socio-cultural processes involved in written composition of university students. These processes are universally applied by expert writers in any language, thus may be considered developmental processes in the multilingual writer. Furthermore, these processes are essential in technological communication. A methodological design was used in this study, in which written cognitive interviews were conducted with a sample of 86 university students. The Method of Content Analysis allowed the application of a categorization system which operatively defined the written processes expressed by students. In terms of frequency, the results showed that university students display a certain degree of procedural, affective and socio-cultural writing competence, and that there is a need for specific programmes which foster professional and scientific use of written composition stressing the importance of conditional processes.

Análisis de las actitudes, De los jóvenes trabajadores del sector textil hacia la discapacidad: diferencias por razón de género
(Universidad de Murcia. Servicio de Publicaciones, 2013-01-07) Muñoz-Cantero, Jesús Miguel; Novo-Corti, Isabel; Rebollo-Quintela, Nuria
This paper examines the support for the inclusion of employees with disabilities in the workplace, based on gender. We chose a random sample of 123 employees of both sexes working in the textile sector. The Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB) was used as a theoretical model of reference. The results showed a trend in the workplace opposite to that identified by Alonso, Navarro and Vicente (2008), and Novo-Corti, Muñoz-Cantero and Calvo-Porral (2011) on attitudes of inclusion in schools. Results showed that the intention to support inclusion was determined by perceived control and that gender is a relevant variable to explain intention.

Metas y Compromiso de los opositores al cuerpo de maestros en la especialidad de Educación Primaria
(Universidad de Murcia. Servicio de Publicaciones, 2013-01-07) Suárez Riveiro, José Manuel; Rubio Sánchez, Verónica; Antúnez Horcajo, Raúl; Fernández Suárez, Ana Patricia
The objective of this article is to understand the teaching and commitment goals towards one´s job from the point of view of candidates applying for state primary education positions, which is a group that has hardly been studied. The sample is made up of candidates applying for primary education posts. The results obtained by means of two questionnaires inform about the validity of the instrument, and also about the goals of candidates and their level of commitment. The relation between these two variables is analyzed, as well as any differences with regard to gender, teaching experience, or the number of public examinations taken by candidates.

Rendimiento en matemáticas y actitud hacia la materia en centros inclusivos: estudio en la comunidad de Madrid
(Universidad de Murcia. Servicio de Publicaciones, 2013-01-07) García-García, Mercedes; Biencinto López, Chantal; Carpintero-Molina, Mª Elvira; Núñez-del-Río, María Cristina; Arteaga Martínez, Blanca
This article deals with the problem of low achievement in instrumental subjects such as Mathematics from the perspective of Adaptive Theory. It was assumed that schools, aware of diversity in their classrooms, would plan educational strategies accordingly in order to cater for different students, thus achieving better results than schools which focus on groups as a whole. Using a quasi-experimental research design, three types of interventions were compared in terms of the degree of inclusiveness of their projects. The sample comprised 437 second year Compulsory Secondary Education students from different schools in Madrid. Mathematics performance and attitude towards the subject were measured. Contrastive analyses were carried out before and after the intervention. Results show differences in mathematics performance in favour of inclusive schools; however, no improvement in the attitude toward the subject was observed.
