    Competencias que debe tener un director académico universitario para la educación superior basada en competencias
    (Universidad de Murcia. Servicio de Publicaciones, 2011-01-17) Elizondo Montemayor, Leticia
    The profile of an academic director working in a Higher Education institution should be based on competences. This manuscript describes the role, responsibilities, fields of knowledge, abilities and habits, which a competence-based profile should be made up of, following a tri-circular model.The three areas of competence are: 1) Doing the right thing; 2) Doing things right; and 3) The right person doing the tasks. The first area includes five intellectual and technical competences: 1. Knowledge of the institution; 2. Awareness of strengths and weaknesses; 3. Knowledge of educational models; 4. Teacher training and student affairs; and, 5. Administrative abilities. The second area involves 3 intellectual, emotional, analytical and creative competences: 6. Understanding of the main principles; 7. Leadership and effective communication; 8. Critical thinking and decision making. The third area includes 2 personal competences: 9. Role of the AD; 10. Ethics and personal development. This paper describes the elements of these 10 competences.

    Creatividad e inteligencia: un estudio en Educación Primaria
    (Universidad de Murcia. Servicio de Publicaciones, 2010-07-01) López Martínez, Olivia; Navarro Lozano, Juan
    The aim of this study is to identify the relationship between changes in creativity and intelligence. Our sample was made up of 90 pupils of a nursery and primary school located in Jumilla (Murcia, Spain). The objective, hypothesis and the characteristics of the sample require a quasi-experimental methodology with an experimental group and a control group similar to the first one. The results show the absence of a relationship between changes in any of the creativity factor measured and general intelligence at the early stages of Primary Education. In other words, there is not a significant and strong relationship between intelligence and creativity, nor can we state that a high level of intelligence would ensure an increase in the level of creativity higher than that experienced by any another participant. All the above is in tune with the theoretical assumption that creativity is a theoretical construct independent of intelligence.

    ¿Qué oportunidades? ¡Igualdad de poder! Una visión para los estándares de género
    (Universidad de Zaragoza, Asociación Universitaria de Formación del Profesorado (AUFOP), 2009) Manzano Arrondo, Vicente
    La igualdad de oportunidades es el método escogido para trabajar en justicia social en torno al género. Suponemos que el objetivo de la justicia es conseguir igualdad de oportunidades para hombres y mujeres. En este trabajo es muy importante denunciar que pensar sólo en oportunidades es generar injusticias significativas. La principal propuesta es pensar en poder. Escribimos acerca del poder como el espacio coincidente de oportunidades y capacidades. La mejor forma de trabajar por la igualdad es conseguir el mismo poder para hombres y mujeres. Ello necesita algunos principios fundamentales: rescatar la importancia de las capacidades, desenmascarar el juego del mérito, definir poderes relevantes, denunciar el uso de estándares sociales en la creación de discapacidades y arreglárselas sin la teoría de las oportunidades para construir justicia social.
