    Investing in Our Children (2023)
    RAND Corporation
    Details
    Publication Date: 2023-10-05
    Description: There is increasing evidence that the first few years after birth are particularly important in child development and present opportunities for enrichment but also vulnerabilities do to poverty and other social stressors. Elected officials have begun proposing potentially costly programs to intervene early in the lives of disadvantaged children. Have such interventions been demonstrated to yield substantial benefits? To what extent might they pay for themselves through lower welfare and criminal justice costs incurred by participating children as they grow into adults? This study synthesizes the results of a number of previous evaluations in an effort to answer those questions. Conclusions are that under carefully controlled conditions, early childhood interventions can yield substantial advantages to recipients in terms of emotional and cognitive development, education, economic well-being, and health. (The latter two benefits apply to the children's families as well.) If these interventions can be duplicated on a large scale, the costs of the programs could be exceeded by subsequent savings to the government. However, the more carefully the interventions are targeted to children most likely to benefit, the more likely it is that savings will exceed costs. Unfortunately, these conclusions rest on only a few methodologically sound studies. The authors argue for broader demonstrations accompanied by rigorous evaluations to resolve several important unknowns. These include the most efficient ways to design and target programs, the extent to which effectiveness is lost on scale-up, and the implications of welfare reform and other safety net changes.

    La privatización de la universidad en América Latina y el Caribe (2023)
    CLACSO
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-29
    Description: Desde la década del noventa hasta la actualidad, se han desarrollado en el ámbito educativo formas de privatización cada vez más complejas y amplias, que han llegado incluso al extremo de considerar a la educación como un servicio comercial en diversos tratados de libre comercio y en la Organización Mundial de Comercio. Estos procesos han provocado que el mercado y el sector económico tengan cada vez más injerencia en el sistema educativo en general, y en el superior universitario en particular. América Latina y el Caribe constituyen una de las dos regiones del mundo donde la educación superior se encuentra más privatizada: dos de cada tres universidades son privadas y, desde hace una década, la cantidad de estudiantes que se gradúan en el sector privado supera a la del público. Este libro desarrolla y analiza algunas tendencias y dimensiones de los procesos de privatización en el sistema universitario de la región.

    Paulo Freire más que nunca (2023)

    Publication Date: 2024-03-26
    Description: “Paulo Freire es una figura extraordinaria no solo para la educación brasileña, sino también para la educación latinoamericana y mundial. Sus contribuciones no se limitan a una obra escrita, mucho menos a un método, ni siquiera a un paradigma teórico; también refieren a una práctica y, de un modo más general, a una vida dedicada a la educación, una vida hecha escuela, o sea, una manera de ocupar el espacio de educador que lo llevó de viaje por el mundo entero ‘haciendo escuela’". “Este libro es por sí mismo un símbolo de lo que un maestro puede provocarnos y del gesto material de dar una respuesta en nombre de sus efectos y afectos". Del prólogo de Carlos Skliar: La edición en español de Paulo Freire más que nunca de Walter Kohan realizada por CLACSO es mucho más que una invitación a leer a uno de los pedagogos más importantes y potentes del siglo XX; es un llamado a entablar un vínculo con lo más singular y rico del pensamiento social brasileño.

    Description: Una vocación se siente como el resultado de algo en el fuero interno que nos moviliza en una dirección específica; uno se enamora de una profesión y busca que los demás también se enamoren; uno siente que tiene un mensaje muy concreto para compartir, o bien una meta muy palpable que alcanzar; una vocación se realiza por placer antes que por deber, y en este sentido se siente más como un hobby que como un trabajo. La vocación se vivencia como un trabajo que nos otorga y nos reafirma nuestra identidad, que nos llena de sentido y nos brinda plenitud. Quien tiene una vocación no separa sus horas de trabajo de sus horas de ocio, sino que ellas se mezclan porque el trabajo contiene ya un elemento de juego, de creatividad, de entretenimiento. Quien tiene una vocación no espera el fin de semana, sono que añora que vuelva el lunes. Quien tiene una vocación no separa trabajo por un lado y el resto de las cosas de la vida por otro.

    Description: La escuela, plataforma de la patria es un libro que ante todo rezuma la fuerte impronta de su autora, por su estilo ensayístico, por la forma en que plantea desde su vasta experiencia y conocimiento cuestiones cruciales en torno al desarrollo de la Argentina y de la región con base en el desarrollo educativo de las nuevas generaciones. Si bien se ocupa de las urgencias, Adriana Puiggrós subraya en el prólogo que pretende situar la escritura -en un registro de plazos más prolongados, soportando la sombra del pasado, recuperando sus creaciones valiosas y conviviendo con el carácter inescrutable del futuro-. Con una pluma ágil e incisiva, y con su solidez característica, la autora invita a la lectura de las condiciones de una educación que se debate entre la competencia y la desigualdad, la profunda crisis económica, las nuevas tecnologías y formas de comunicación, entre otros problemas que recorre quien se sumerge en esta obra original y necesaria.

    Los 68 latinoamericanos (2023)
    CLACSO
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-29
    Description: Esta edición se realiza en el contexto del Centenario de la Reforma Universitaria cordobesa de 1918 y del cincuentenario de los hechos de 1968: el Mayo Francés, el ’68 uruguayo, la passeata dos cen mil brasileña y la masacre de Tlatelolco. El año elegido constituye un ícono, donde el sentido común ha condensado toscamente la gran cantidad de movilizaciones estudiantiles inmediatamente anteriores y posteriores, como las ocurridas en Alemania Federal, Bélgica, Checoslovaquia, China, Corea, Egipto, España, Gran Bretaña, Estados Unidos, Italia, Japón, Polonia, la Unión Soviética y Yugoslavia. En nuestro continente, además de los casos mencionados, también hubo grandes luchas estudiantiles en Argentina, Colombia y Chile, que aparecen en este volumen, y en Bolivia, Cuba, Nicaragua, Perú y Venezuela, que lamentablemente no cuentan con capítulos específicos en nuestro libro. Se trata de un libro verdaderamente colectivo, porque reunimos investigaciones con perspectivas teóricas y metodológicas diversas, sobre varios de los ciclos de movilización estudiantil más trascendentes de seis países latinoamericanos hacia fines de los ’60 y principios de los ’70, procesos a los que llamamos “los ‘68". Compartimos artículos realizados con el marco conceptual del marxismo y otros escritos desde las teorías de la acción colectiva; investigaciones que utilizaron como fuente principal los testimonios orales y otras que privilegiaron el registro hemerográfico, escritos de una densidad descriptiva notable y reflexiones conceptuales originales. En todos los casos textos metódicamente construidos, que brindan nueva información o nuevos enfoques sobre la política, la cultura y la universidad latinoamericana en los años ’60 y ’70.

    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: La meta principal de este estudio es averiguar –siguiendo la teoría de Frantz Fanon a través de su pedagogía obrera– los "mecanismos" conceptuales que podrán servir para una "relectura" de los Movimientos Sociales, observando al proceso pedagógico de Haití, con vistas a su transformación social y económica. De esa forma, ante el cuadro de emergencias en el que se encuentra Haití, surgieron preguntas respecto de cuáles serían las tareas más osadas de un educador que acepta el desafío como su responsabilidad. Preguntas como ésta, entre otras, nos han acompañado en el día-a-día, a lo largo de la escritura de este libro. Sin duda, el repensar a Haití y sus procesos educativos, consiste en un gran desafío que no puede ser asumido de forma aislada, sino de forma colectiva.

    Publication Date: 2024-03-29
    Description: En ninguna otra época de la historia de la educación brasileña la infancia ha recibido tanta atención como en los días de hoy a tal punto que la educación infantil pasó a integrar la educación básica obligatoria. La aprobación de la Ley nº 12.796 en abril de 2013 que hizo compulsoria la matrícula a los cuatro años de edad en la Educación Infantil es tan sólo uno de los indicativos de cómo el tema de la infancia es central en la atención hodierna de educadores, gestores, investigadores, políticos y de la sociedad de modo general. Sin embargo, esa centralidad de la infancia e incluso la aprobación de la referida Ley, no nos garantiza que de veras se efectúe el cuidado educacional del niño. Por esa razón, tratar de la infancia, de su presencia en la escuela de forma compulsoria, de las condiciones de infraestructura para acoger a ese niño que llega más temprano a la escuela, de la manera como los municipios y las escuelas se están preparando para atender a esta nueva demanda formativa, son desafíos que necesitan ser enfrentados. El propósito de esta obra reside en contribuir para la calidad de la educación, especialmente la educación infantil. Esta obra presenta un estudio que hace una fotografía del esfuerzo de un municipio brasileño, de la región Sur, para hacer frente a la obligatoriedad legal de ofrecer educación infantil de calidad a los niños de 4 y 5 años. Más que etapa compulsoria, reflexiona sobre el derecho de tal nivel de escolarización, capaz de aportar elementos que contribuyan con las etapas subsecuentes de la Educación Básica. En esta perspectiva, el texto conyuga la ampliación del acceso con el desafío de la calidad.

Las transformaciones recientes en la circulación internacional del conocimiento han diversificado la periferialidad científica. Y es urgente revisar las perspectivas tradicionales que tienden a identificar el desarrollo científico con el crecimiento en términos de publicaciones/impacto en las revistas mainstream."

    Memorias pedagógicas del futuro (2023)
    CLACSO
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-29
    Description: El título del libro nos señala con precisión el recorrido que Pablo Imen realiza. Que las y los futuros lectores lo sepan desde el inicio es una invitación a sumergirse en una lectura meticulosa, consciente, y al mismo tiempo amplia en su desarrollo. El autor se propone “no dejar puntos sueltos", y así transita la historia desde el siglo XIX hasta nuestros días. Esa insistencia en la lectura de la historia social de las experiencias educativas de maestros y maestras que rompieron ciertas tradiciones escolares es una de las más fructíferas formas de entender, profundizar y hacer suya la labor de las y los indispensables constructores de la nueva escuela liberadora. La lectura de Memorias pedagógicas del futuro reafirma la condición docente del autor frente a públicos diversos: militantes políticos, dirigentes sindicales, docentes y estudiantes.

    CLACSO | Instituto de Investigaciones Gino Germani
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-29
    Description: Este libro propone una reflexión sobre el complejo papel que las universidades tienen en nuestras historias recientes, a partir de la pregunta por los modos en que las mismas reciben y participan en los procesos políticos, económicos y culturales en los que están inmersas. Centrado en el caso de la Universidad de Buenos Aires, a las puertas del bicentenario de su fundación, Profesores, Científicos e Intelectuales expresa un análisis del papel que ha asumido la UBA en la historia argentina desde 1955, por momentos desagregado a los modos en que sus profesores y profesoras han construido posicionamientos públicos pocas veces exentos de contradicciones y resistencias. La investigación que aquí se sintetiza reconstruye parcialmente el recorrido de estas décadas, discute algunas de las lecturas canónicas y abre un espacio para los debates sobre un futuro que no es solo el de esa universidad o del sistema universitario.

    Formación docente y pensamiento crítico en Paulo Freire (2023)
    CLACSO
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-29
    Description: Se espera que este libro, en primer lugar, nutra la reexión sobre la apremiante necesidad de repensar la formación de los docentes y el desarrollo del pensamiento crítico en los países de origen de los investigadores y en las universidades, las facultades y los centros de enseñanza donde se hallan vinculados. En segundo lugar, construir comunidad académica en el contexto del Grupo de Trabajo de CLACSO “Formación docente y pensamiento crítico", de tal manera que se fortalezca la docencia y la investigación en contextos multisituados de la región latinoamericana, a la vez que se posibilitan proyectos transformadores de realidades en diferentes niveles educativos. La lectura de estas siete obras de Freire ha suscitado reexiones del orden político, social, económico, educativo y cultural que, se aspira, entren en diálogo con otras voces interesadas en la formación de docentes en todo el sentido del concepto. Finalmente, hay que anotar que el método Freire sigue en vía de ser reconocido y puesto en práctica en los escenarios reales y particulares de aquellos docentes interesados en su propia formación y en la de sus estudiantes como pensadores críticos. La autorevisión, la autocrítica, la evaluación y los ajustes al mismo método se constituyen en parte de sus características.

    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-08
    Description: This book offers a thorough analysis of demons in the Hebrew Bible and Septuagint in the wider context of the ancient Near East and the Greek world. Taking a fresh and innovative angle of enquiry, Anna Angelini investigates continuities and changes in the representation of divine powers in Hellenistic Judaism, thereby revealing the role of the Greek translation of the Bible in shaping ancient demonology, angelology, and pneumatology. Combining philological and semantic analyses with a historical approach and anthropological insights, the author both develops a new method for analyzing religious categories within biblical traditions and sheds new light on the importance of the Septuagint for the history of ancient Judaism.; Readership:
