    Influencia de los problemas internalizantes y externalizantes en la autoeficacia en estudiantes de Secundaria
    (Universidad de Murcia. Servicio de Publicaciones, 2019) Salavera, Carlos; Usán Supervía, Pablo
    La autoeficacia tiene repercusión en los resultados académicos de nuestros estudiantes, la cual puede encontrarse relacionada con los problemas internalizantes y externalizantes de la persona. Se evaluó a 1 402 estudiantes de Secundaria de 12 a 17 años (50.71% varones; M=14.94 años) de la provincia de Zaragoza para analizar la relación entre problemas internalizantes, externalizantes y autoeficacia. Los resultados muestran como las mujeres obtuvieron mayor puntuación en los problemas internalizantes y los varones en los factores correspondientes a agresión y conducta antisocial de los problemas externalizantes. Los problemas internalizantes Depresión, Obsesión- Compulsión (R 2 =.302) en el caso de los varones y Depresión y Ansiedad (R 2 =.458) en el caso las mujeres actuaron como predictores de la autoeficacia. Además, ninguno de los problemas externalizantes predijeron la autoeficacia. El modelo entre autoeficacia, problemas internalizantes y externalizantes obtuvo un buen ajuste y los factores internalizantes mostraron una relación inversa con la autoeficacia (r=-.36), mientras los problemas externalizantes mostraron una escasa correlación (r=.12) con ésta. Como conclusiones, el estudio evidenció como una mayor presencia de los problemas internalizantes lleva aparejada una menor autoeficacia en los estudiantes de Secundaria, así como la escasa influencia de los problemas externalizantes en esta autoeficacia.

    (Universidad de Murcia, Servicio de Publicaciones, 2021) Kuz, Antonieta
    Globalization, new technologies, migration, international competition, market developments, transnational, environmental and political challenges are all factors that govern the acquisition of the skills and knowledge that students need to survive and get out graceful during the pandemic occasioned by the disease caused by the SARS-COV2 virus. The pandemic has accelerated many underlying issues surrounding high schools in Argentina and the challenge of preparing students for work, citizenship, and life in the 21st century. Through this study we seek to learn about how Technology of the Information and Communication (ICTs) are used by Secondary Education students of a public school in the province of Buenos Aires, specifically the prevailing digital resources that are common in the teaching-learning process. For this purpose, we combine quantitative and qualitative methodology. On the one hand, a descriptive investigation has been performed from and towards the quantitative methodology, in which the data collection has been accomplished through a questionnaire prepared for this study, which was answered by a total of 80 students. The results obtained reveal that the cell phone and, in terms of the applications that they allow, WhatsApp has been the tool they use the most. On the other hand, through a qualitative analysis, we conducted an interview with a teacher to find out her perspective. To do this, we denote, in general terms, that ,as a result of both analysis, the system was not prepared, despite the government plans implemented, making visible the complex argentine educational reality

    Receptive vocabulary measures for EFL Costa Rican high school students
    (2018-02-21) Castro García, Damaris
    The study offers a glimpse of the current situation of foreign language education in the Costa Rican context from the perspective of vocabulary knowledge, particularly passive vocabulary size. Students from two institutions participated: one school implements Content Based Teaching while the other follows traditional, Foreign Language Teaching instruction. This research aims to describe the receptive vocabulary profile of students and to compare the vocabulary levels of students between two gender groups and under two types of English language teaching. These measures are established following the idea originally presented in Paul Nation’s (1983, 1990) Vocabulary Levels Test. In this case, Schmitt, Schmitt and Clapham’s (2001) Version 2 test was used to define passive vocabulary levels. Finally, the results of this analysis are compared to results for similar population samples in other studies.
