Abstract Introduction: Positive mental health involves a mix of personal and psychosocial resources, as well as attitudes, affections, and positive behaviors that allow the person to face the challenges that arise in life, at a personal, family, social, and school level. Objective: Determine the association between personal factors and positive mental health in high school students during COVID-19. Methodology: Descriptive correlational study. Intentional non-probabilistic sampling. The sample consisted of 210 students of both sexes, ages 15 to 19, enrolled in cycle 2022-1 of the morning shift. Adolescents with visual conditions were excluded. A personal factors study and Positive Mental Health Scale were applied, with prior assent and informed consent. The statistical analysis was descriptive and inferential Results: The students were 64.8% female, 76.1% were under 17 years of age, 53.3% were in the sixth semester, 42% presented COVID-19 and 45% reported losses due to COVID-19. Global positive mental health was low in 50.5% of students. There was a significant positive statistical association in overall positive mental health with sex p=0.01, and a negative one with suffering from a mental illness p=0.01 and having family members who suffered from a mental illness p=0.05. Conclusion: Mental health of young people was not very positive. It needs to be studied to generate nursing interventions for promotion and prevention of school health to result in effective stress management of young people who are in high school when considering the family, society, and the educational field.

Resumen: La investigación determinó el efecto de la mediación de un videojuego educativo en el fortalecimiento de la resolución de problemas de matemáticas. El método cuantitativo con alcance descriptivo fue aplicado. La muestra fue no probabilística con 20 estudiantes de la Institución Educativa San Jorge, en la vereda Las Damas, Municipio de Purificación, Departamento de Tolima. Las variables estudiadas fueron: desempeño en resolución de problemas, mecánicas y percepción del videojuego. La encuesta inicial reflejó que un 90% no poseían habilidades matemáticas básicas y tenían una percepción negativa del área. Entonces, fue diseñada una estrategia educativa con un videojuego denominado Corredor Matemático de Pensamiento Variacional (Comapeva), en tercera persona con Unity 3D, Adobe Ilustrator y Autodesk 3d. Fue protagonizado por Comaco: joven aventurero que superó retos matemáticos. El guion narrativo combinó elementos del constructivismo, Aprendizaje Basado en Retos (ABR) y modelo instruccional ADDIE (Análisis, Diseño, Desarrollo, Implementación y Evaluación). La herramienta fue implementada con el apoyo de los docentes. Con el videojuego el 100% de los estudiantes resolvieron retos con diversas estrategias. Disminuyó un 21% el tiempo de desarrollo de los problemas, y un 33% las solicitudes de apoyo del docente. La concentración, atención, memoria, agilidad mental, interpretación y análisis fueron fortalecidas. El videojuego facilitó la construcción de conocimientos en matemáticas de forma sustancial. En consecuencia, fue innovador, motivador y permitió la trasformación de prácticas educativas según las necesidades de aprendizaje.

Abstract: The research considers the effect of the mediation of an educational video game in strengthening mathematics problem solving. The quantitative method with a descriptive scope was applied. The sample was non-probabilistic with 20 students from the San Jorge Educational Institution, in Las Damas village, Municipality of Purificación, Department of Tolima. The variables studied were problem-solving performance, game mechanics, and videogame perception. The initial survey showed that 90% of the students did not have basic mathematical skills and had a negative perception of the subject area. Therefore, an educational strategy was then designed using a video game called the Variational Thinking Mathematical Corridor (Comapeva). The game was developed in third person using Unity 3D, Adobe Illustrator, and Autodesk 3d. It starred Comaco: a young adventurer who overcame mathematical challenges. The narrative script combined elements of constructivism, Challenge-Based Learning (CBL) and instructional model ADDIE (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation and Evaluation). The tool was implemented with the support of the teachers. With the video game, 100% of the students were able to solve challenges using various strategies. Problem development time decreased by 21%, and teacher support requests decreased by 33%. Concentration, attention, memory, mental agility, interpretation, and analysis skills were all strengthened. The video game facilitated the construction of knowledge in mathematics in a substantial way. Consequently, the video game was found to be innovative and motivating, and it allowed for the transformation of educational practices according to the students' learning needs.

Abstract The meanings that people construct about concepts influence public policy; therefore, identifying them is significant for achieving a successful implementation process. In Mexico, the obligation of public officials to mainstream the gender perspective (GP) coexists and comes into tension with social debates surrounding the GP and its growing disapproval by conservative groups. The objective of the study was to understand and analyze the social representations (SR) of the gender perspective (GP) among teachers during the 2017-2018 school year in three public primary schools in León, Guanajuato, as well as its influence on the application of the GP in the school environment. The methodological design was qualitative and based on feminist theory and SR theory. Group interviews were conducted with 21 teachers from 1st, 4th, and 6th grades. Findings suggest that the SR held by teachers about the GP do not lead to actions that result in a correct application of the GP because their way of meaning gender and the GP lacks adequate information and is based on notions acquired from colloquial and media use. This poses an obstacle to achieving substantive equality in the educational field and is a consequence of a broader problem where the concept of gender has been trivialized, causing a theoretical and practical issue that needs further analysis.

Resumen Los significados que las personas construyen sobre los conceptos influyen en la política pública, por lo tanto, identificarlos es significativo para lograr un proceso de implementación exitoso. En México, la obligación que tiene el funcionariado público de transversalizar la perspectiva de género (PG) coexiste y entra en tensión con los debates sociales en torno a la PG y su creciente desprestigio por parte de grupos conservadores. El objetivo del estudio fue conocer y analizar las representaciones sociales (RS) de la PG de docentes del ciclo escolar 2017-2018 de tres escuelas primarias públicas de León, Guanajuato, así como su influencia en la aplicación de la PG en el ámbito escolar. El diseño metodológico fue cualitativo, con base en la teoría feminista y la teoría de las RS. Se realizaron entrevistas grupales con 21 docentes de 1°, 4° y 6° de primaria. Los hallazgos sugieren que las RS que mantienen las y los docentes sobre la PG no conducen a acciones que conlleven a una aplicación correcta de la PG pues su manera de significar lo que es género y PG carece de información adecuada y está basada en nociones adquiridas de su uso coloquial y mediático. Esto supone un obstáculo para el logro de la igualdad sustantiva en el ámbito educativo y es consecuencia de un problema más amplio donde el concepto de género se ha banalizado, provocando un problema teórico y práctico que debe seguirse analizando.

Abstract Objective This study aimed to review literature from the past five years, focusing on the use of educational videos as a guidance tool for parents and guardians of children with lip and palate clefts. Source of data Conducted between April and July 2022, this integrative literature review was framed around the question: 'What is the evidence regarding the use of videos in health education for parents/guardians of children with cleft lip and palate? PICO strategy was used to develop the research. A literature search was undertaken across PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, and the Virtual Health Library databases. Of the eight articles included in this review, four were sourced from the PubMed database, with three published in 2021. Summary of the findings The findings indicated that YouTube videos were moderately satisfactory and met the needs of parents or legal guardians to a partial extent. The majority of the videos analyzed in this review were characterized by a moderate level of informational content. One study particularly underscored that the content of these videos only partially satisfies the requirements of the parents or legal guardians of the children. Conclusions Nevertheless, such videos are considered viable alternatives for health education, offering numerous benefits yet facing challenges, primarily due to the scarcity of information on orofacial malformations. years clefts 2022 question What parentsguardians research Science Scopus databases database 2021 extent Nevertheless challenges malformations 202 20 2

Este artigo analisa os resultados de uma pesquisa-ação que teve por objetivo contribuir para debates e ações com foco na ampliação das oportunidades de educação para a Primeira Infância. Consultamos moradores e profissionais que atuam na Rocinha/Rio de Janeiro/RJ e, através de um questionário semiestruturado, eles foram convidados a relacionar os temas inclusão, participação e segurança à educação das crianças nas instituições de ensino, em casa e na comunidade. Esses atores revelaram esforços para incluir, ampliar a participação e oferecer segurança às crianças, mas apontaram que o suporte do Estado e da sociedade é fundamental para a proteção dos pequenos moradores da comunidade. Isso indica a importância de se fortalecer uma rede local que dialogue sobre os temas abordados, proponha soluções alinhadas às necessidades dessa população e leve o debate aos responsáveis por elaborar e monitorar políticas públicas que possam melhorar as condições de vida das crianças e suas famílias.

The article analyzes data from an action research project focused on expanding education opportunities for Early Childhood. We consulted residents and professionals who work in Rocinha (city of Rio de Janeiro). Interviewees were asked to relate children's education to inclusion, participation and safety in educational institutions, at home and in the community. Respondents revealed efforts to promote inclusion and expand participation for children in safe spaces, but support from the State and society is essential. This finding indicates the importance of strengthening local networks and propose solutions aligned with the needs of small children. Public sector partipation is also vital for developing and monitoring public policies that can improve the lives of children and their families.

El objetivo del estudio es ampliar las oportunidades educativas para la Primera Infancia. Los entrevistados vincularon la inclusión, la participación y la seguridad con la educación de los niños en las instituciones educativas, en la casa y en la comunidad. Los resultados indican la existencia de iniciativas para incluir y ampliar la participación en entornos seguros. Sin embargo, resaltaron que el apoyo de la sociedad y del Estado, incluyendo el desarrollo de políticas públicas específicas, es fundamental. Fortalecer las redes locales es vital para promover el diálogo y proponer soluciones alineadas con las necesidades de los niños y sus familias.

BACKGROUND: The obstetrics clinical learning environment is complex and often not conducive to learning. Understanding the priority clinical learning needs of students with experience in this setting is essential for designing effective educational interventions to optimise clinical learning OBJECTIVE: To describe the priority obstetrics-related clinical learning needs of undergraduate medical students informed by their experience of the clinical learning environment METHODS: A multigroup nominal group technique (NGT) was applied to a purposively sampled group of medical students who had experienced obstetrics-related clinical placements in facilities at various levels of care, from primary to tertiary. Individual group priorities were further integrated into themes RESULTS: Seven priorities emerged: (i) perinatal procedural skills, (ii) teaching approaches to obstetrics, (iii) pregnancy-related screening and complications, (iv) postnatal support for women, (v) interprofessional and gender roles, (vi) orientation to patient care and the clinical environment, and (vii) psychological preparation of students CONCLUSION: Educational interventions to optimise the obstetrics clinical learning environment must consider students' priorities. These priorities extend beyond procedural skills and include collaborative practice and psychological preparation

Abstract This paper presents the main debates and reflections on the use of gender-inclusive language in Argentina. Although this is a phenomenon that has been developing in Spanish for some time, it has acquired greater relevance recently and has become the focus of educational, linguistic, and social discussions. While numerous groups and social actors advocate its generalized use, a range of institutions and public figures are against it. Because of this, we attempt to reflect on various doubts and beliefs about language in general and particular languages as a means of communication and configuration of identity, as well as a space for the struggle for meaning. To this end, and from a position in favor of these new linguistic forms, we approach the subject from multiple -grammatical, discursive, political, psychologicalaspects, since gender-inclusive language is a complex phenomenon that needs a multidisciplinary approach to be fully understood. First, we define what is meant by gender-inclusive language and what the proposed strategies and their uses are, and then we explain where and how they emerged, and how the main social and institutional actors are positioned. Simultaneously, we show how this phenomenon affects linguistic processing, describe how it contrasts with the use of the generic masculine, and briefly review the research that shows that the use of the "universal" masculine does not produce generic but rather specific effects in different languages. Finally, we share some experiences on how the use of gender-inclusive language impacts the lives of those who live on the margins of heteronormativity. In this way, we demonstrate that promoting gender-inclusive uses in language is important and feasible.

Resumen Este trabajo presenta los principales debates y reflexiones que giran en torno al uso del lenguaje inclusivo en la Argentina. Si bien el lenguaje inclusivo es un fenómeno que viene gestándose desde hace tiempo en español, en los últimos años adquirió mayor relevancia y pasó a ser centro de discusiones educativas, lingüísticas y sociales. Mientras numerosos colectivos y actores sociales abogan por su uso generalizado, varias instituciones y figuras públicas se posicionan en contra. Debido a esto, nos proponemos reflexionar acerca del lenguaje en general y las distintas lenguas particulares como medios de comunicación y configuración de la identidad y como espacios de lucha por el sentido. Con este fin y desde un posicionamiento favorable a estas nuevas formas lingüísticas, abordamos la temática desde múltiples aspectos -gramatical, discursivo, político, psicológico-, ya que creemos que el lenguaje inclusivo es un fenómeno complejo que necesita un abordaje multidisciplinario para poder comprenderse cabalmente. Así, en primer lugar, definimos qué se entiende por lenguaje inclusivo y cuáles son las estrategias propuestas y sus usos, para luego exponer dónde y cómo surgieron, y cómo se posicionan los principales actores sociales e institucionales. A su vez, mostramos cómo dicho fenómeno incide en el procesamiento lingüístico, describimos cómo contrasta con el uso del masculino genérico, y realizamos un breve repaso por las investigaciones que, en distintas lenguas, muestran que el uso del masculino “universal” no produce efectos genéricos sino específicos. Finalmente, damos lugar a algunas experiencias particulares sobre cómo impacta el uso del lenguaje inclusivo en la vida de quienes habitan por los márgenes de la norma hétero masculina. De esta forma, demostramos que es viable e importante promover usos inclusivos en la lengua.

ABSTRACT This qualitative study analyzes the metaphors used by teachers and directors of Peruvian schools, their relationship with school management in order to understand their reality, and serve as basis for future studies that propose improvement actions to strengthen their culture. For this, a survey was applied to 100 teachers from the different regions of Peru, obtaining that their management is recognized, mainly, under a political perspective, where it is indicated that it involves the generation of resistance, conflict resolution, empowerment and focus. of human development. Likewise, various metaphorical patterns were recognized that are capable of reflecting the particularities of each school culture, and the most identified metaphorical orientation is empowerment. Finally, the metaphors demonstrated that when they are used as an object of analysis, they allow the recognition of interests, needs, difficulties, conflicts and others that contribute to decision-making in favor of the achievement of the school's objectives.

RESUMEN El presente estudio de carácter cualitativo analiza las metáforas empleadas por los docentes y directivos de escuelas peruanas, su relación con la gestión escolar para comprender su realidad y servir de base a futuros estudios que propongan acciones de mejora para el fortalecimiento de su cultura. Para ello, se aplicó una encuesta a 100 docentes de las diferentes regiones del Perú, obteniendo que la gestión es reconocida, principalmente, bajo su perspectiva política; en donde se señala que esta involucra la generación de resistencias, resolución de conflictos, empoderamiento y enfoque de desarrollo humano. Se reconocieron diversos patrones metafóricos que son capaces de reflejar las particularidades de cada cultura escolar, mientras que la orientación metafórica más identificada es el empoderamiento. Por último, las metáforas demostraron que cuando estas son empleadas como objeto de análisis permiten reconocer intereses, necesidades, dificultades, conflictos y demás que contribuyen en la toma de decisiones en pro del alcance de los objetivos de la escuela.

Abstract This work examines proposals for inclusive education and the notion of vulnerability from a perspective of positive peace, arguing that building a culture of peace begins in the educational sphere, specifically through inclusive education. The latter is grounded in principles of social justice and human rights; however, its full implementation is hindered by the exclusion of certain individuals whose full participation is not deemed legitimate. This is because their social position and assigned status marginalize them from full participation in social life. In the school context, some identities are relegated to positions of inferiority due to categories such as special educational needs or learning difficulties, reinforcing their ontological and political exclusion. This production of ignorance perpetuates inequality and hinders recognition and social justice. Thus, there is a need to overcome these barriers to advance towards genuine inclusive education that promotes peace and equality.

Resumen Este trabajo examina las propuestas de educación inclusiva y la noción de vulnerabilidad desde una perspectiva de paz positiva, argumentando que la construcción de una cultura de paz comienza en el ámbito educativo, en específico a través de la educación inclusiva. Esta última se fundamenta en principios de justicia social y derechos humanos, sin embargo, su implementación plena es obstaculizada por la exclusión de ciertos individuos cuya participación plena no es considerada legítima. Esto se debe a que su posición social y el estatus asignado los marginan de la participación plena en la vida social. En el contexto escolar, algunas identidades son relegadas a posiciones de inferioridad debido a categorías como necesidades educativas especiales o problemas de aprendizaje, lo que refuerza su exclusión ontológica y política. Esta producción de ignorancia perpetúa la desigualdad y dificulta el reconocimiento y la justicia social. Así, se plantea la necesidad de superar estas barreras para avanzar hacia una educación inclusiva genuina que promueva la paz y la igualdad.

RESUMEN El desarrollo que alcance un infante con repercusión en el resto de su vida adulta, será resultado tanto, de la interacción de sus características biológicas y psicológicas, como de las experiencias que le ofrezca su medio social. De ahí que se afirme el carácter biopsicosocial de los seres humanos y que se valore la socialización desde las primeras edades, por lo positivo y estimulante en su desarrollo. Sin embargo, en ocasiones, esa interacción es limitada por disímiles factores, que pueden partir desde el propio individuo, poseedor de determinadas características que condicionan su interacción con el medio y la particularizan; de la familia como ente propiciador o represor de la misma; de la propia sociedad o comunidad que la favorezca, promueva o estimule. Tal es el caso de los niños con necesidades educativas especiales, neurodivergentes y en situación de discapacidad. En coherencia, se diseñó un proyecto comunitario contentivo de acciones que contribuyen a la socialización y la estimulación del desarrollo de niños neurodivergentes, con énfasis en aquellos diagnosticados con trastorno del espectro autista (TEA). Prevalecen en el estudio los métodos: revisión bibliográfica, análisis-síntesis, entrevistas y observación. Los resultados proyectan la satisfacción de necesidades educativas básicas para la inclusión socioeducativa.

ABSTRACT The development that an infant achieves with repercussions on the rest of his or her adult life will be the result of both the interaction of her biological and psychological characteristics and the experiences that her social environment offers her. Hence, the biopsychosocial character of human beings is affirmed and socialization is valued from the earliest ages, due to its positive and stimulating development. However, sometimes, this interaction is limited by dissimilar factors, which can come from the individual himself, who possesses certain characteristics that condition his interaction with the environment and make it particular; of the family as an entity that promotes or represses it; of the society or community itself that favors, promotes or stimulates it. This is the case of children with special educational needs, neurodivergents and those with disabilities. In coherence, a community project was designed containing actions that contribute to the socialization and stimulation of the development of neurodivergent children, with emphasis on those diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The methods prevail in the study: bibliographic review, analysis- synthesis, interviews and observation. The results project the satisfaction of basic educational needs for socio-educational inclusion.

RESUMEN Esta reflexión emerge de un proyecto educativo orientado a mejorar algunos aspectos relacionados con el acceso y manejo del agua en tres barrios informales. El objetivo es reflexionar acerca de las nociones de territorio que se construyen en el contexto de proyectos educativos en comunidades que habitan barrios informales. El proyecto inició con la conformación de un grupo de participantes quienes realizaron la cartografía social de sus barrios para identificar aspectos críticos sobre agua y saneamiento. La validación de los mapas y los recorridos por cada sector aportaron elementos para los talleres relacionados con acceso, manejo, cuidado y derecho al agua, que posteriormente fueron multiplicados en cada comunidad. Este proceso permitió reconocer situaciones relacionadas con la negación del derecho al agua, el malestar, la tensión entre ilegalidad e informalidad, las maneras en que las comunidades resuelven sus necesidades y las relaciones que establecen con su territorio, en medio de grandes inequidades. En conclusión, existe una relación profunda entre salud y territorio, que se hace más evidente en comunidades en condiciones críticas. Los proyectos de educación para la salud requieren hacer un trabajo situado y establecer una mirada interdisciplinaria, que reconozca la complejidad e interdependencia de las dinámicas sociales y ambientales. informales saneamiento comunidad malestar informalidad inequidades conclusión críticas interdisciplinaria ambientales

ABSTRACT This reflection derives from an educational project focused on raising awareness about some aspects related to the access and management of water in three disadvantaged neighborhoods. The objective is to reflect on the notions of territory build in the context of educational projects in communities inhabiting disadvantaged neighborhoods. The project began with the formation of a group of participants who carried out social mapping of their neighborhoods to identify critical aspects of water and sanitation. Map validation and the paths followed in each sector provided the input to design the workshops, related to access, management, care and the right to water, which were subsequently multiplied in each community. This process allowed us to understand the situations derived from the denial of access to water, discomfort, and tension between illegality and informality as the modes people in these communities have chosen to address their needs, and the relationships they establish with their territory in the midst of huge inequalities. In conclusion, there is a deep relationship between health and territory which is blatant in communities that face critical life conditions. The projects on health education require situated work and to define an interdisciplinary perspective that acknowledges the complexity and interdependence of social and environmental dynamics. sanitation workshops community discomfort needs inequalities conclusion conditions dynamics

The research discussed in this article explores the experiences of special needs educators teaching the Curriculum and Assessment Policy Statement (CAPS) to diverse learners in a Cape Town special school. This study delves into how six teachers positioned themselves within the school's discourses and culture, employing an interpretive approach and drawing on theoretical frameworks such as Lefebvre's theory of spatial production, Bourdieu's concept of habitus, and Nespor's ideas related to bodies in space. The results highlighted the impact of the school's institutional culture, influenced by class, race, and age, on the teachers' personal and professional socialisation experiences. The research for this article focused on the real-life encounters of special needs educators handling diverse students in a Cape Town school, while implementing the CAPS curriculum. The study investigated how six teachers positioned themselves in relation to the prevailing discourses and culture of the school by taking an interpretivist approach and drawing on Lefebvre's theory of the creation of space, Bourdieu's (1977) idea of habitus, and Nespor's (1997) theory regarding bodies in space. The results showed that the institutional culture of the school, which was moulded by concerns of class, colour, and age, had a substantial impact on the socialisation processes of the teachers on a personal and professional level. These teachers were able to reposition themselves in relation to the institutional culture and to establish their professional identities based on their individualised ways of acting and living in the school. The study's conclusions have consequences for teacher education and policy development, highlighting the necessity of viewing these instructors as a result of the uneven South African educational system rather than as a homogenous group.

INTRODUCTION: South Africa has a high unemployment rate and few post-school employment opportunities for learners with disabilities. School-to-work transition programmes in special educational needs schools prepare learners with disabilities for work in the open labour market, optimizing post-school employment opportunities. Occupational therapists are the main key role players in facilitating school-to-work transition programme in many contexts of education. AIM: This study explores the perceptions of occupational therapists of a school-to-work transition programme at the school for learners with special needs. METHODS: This study was a descriptive qualitative study. The researchers conducted semi-structured interviews with six occupational therapists involved in delivering the programme at the school. To ensure ethical compliance, we obtained clearance from the UP-Research Ethics Committee. The collected data underwent reflective thematic analysis for interpretation. FINDINGS: Three prominent themes emerged from the data analysis: (1) The Significance of the Programme: Participants highlighted the importance and benefits of the program. (2) Facilitators affecting school-to-work transition programme: Various factors that positively influenced the smooth transition from school to the workforce were identified and discussed. (3) Barriers to school-to-work transition programme: Participants also pointed out obstacles and challenges that hindered the successful transition from school to the workforce. CONCLUSION: The school-to-work transition programme was influenced by personal, environmental, and occupational barriers and facilitators. The findings highlighted that the benefits of the programme should be viewed in a broader context, as learners mature and develop self-confidence. The value of the programme thus extends beyond employment opportunities. IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE The research findings inform barriers that need to be focused on in order to have a successful and effective school-to-work transition programme. There are facilitators that show the perceived effectiveness of the school-to-work transition programme that could assist in motivating for more assistance from stakeholders of the school.

Abstract The history of Physical Education in Argentina that we know and have studied is told and reconstructed from a national perspective, in great depth, mostly considering the voices of Capital and the province of Buenos Aires. However, there are many stories waiting to be discovered and told. In this sense, this article is a review of recent and local history from a genealogical perspective, framed in the qualitative research paradigm. In particular, our work analyzes the subprogram that was part of "Program of Integral Assistance Cordoba" (Paicor for its acronym in Spanish), implemented within the framework of Educational Reform in Córdoba. This public policy stressed the field of physical education in the period of democratic recovery from 1983 until the closure of the Directorate of Physical Education of the provincial Ministry of Education in 1995. The paper describes and analyzes Paicor Deporte as a public policy device and its link with Physical Education after the return of democracy. For this task, official documents of the subprogram are recovered and people who were in charge of its implementation are interviewed. The challenge was to observe what had not been observed in depth before, recovering voices, interests and needs that gave rise to the subprogram as one of the political tools for the construction of a plural and democratic political subject in the province of Córdoba.

Resumen La historia de la Educación Física argentina que conocemos y hemos estudiado está contada y reconstruida a partir de una revisión nacional, con gran profundidad en la Ciudad y la Provincia de Buenos Aires. No obstante, existen muchas historias que esperan ser descubiertas y narradas. En este sentido, este artículo es una revisión de la historia reciente y local en una perspectiva genealógica, enmarcada en el paradigma cualitativo de investigación. Particularmente, analiza el subprograma que formó parte del Programa de Asistencia Integral Córdoba (Paicor), implementado en el marco de la Reforma Educacional Córdoba. Esta política pública tensionó el campo de la Educación Física en el período de la recuperación democrática, desde 1983 hasta el cierre de la Dirección de Educación Física del Ministerio de Educación provincial, en 1995. El trabajo describe y analiza el Paicor Deporte como dispositivo de la política pública y su vinculación con la Educación Física tras el retorno de la democracia. Para esta tarea se recuperan documentos oficiales del subprograma y se entrevista a personas que estuvieron a cargo de su implementación. El desafío consistió en focalizar lo no se había observado en profundidad, recuperando voces, intereses y necesidades que dieron lugar al subprograma, una de las herramientas políticas para la construcción de un sujeto político plural y democrático en la Provincia de Córdoba.

Resumen El panorama educativo actual exige que los docentes desarrollen competencias digitales articulando la tecnología con la pedagogía para satisfacer las necesidades de aprendizaje de los estudiantes. El presente estudio tuvo como objetivo realizar una revisión sistemática de las publicaciones sobre las competencias digitales de los docentes y el rendimiento académico en educación básica, fundamentado en una revisión sistemática de literatura. Se utilizaron los principales motores de búsqueda como: Scielo, Dialnet y Redalyc, para la elección de 20 publicaciones referentes a las palabras claves relacionadas con la competencia digital docente, rendimiento académico y educación básica. Notoriamente, los resultados mostraron una mayor producción científica en el año 2022 (45%), provenientes de la base de datos Dialnet (40%) y especialmente de Perú (60%). Se resalta las diferencias de competencia digital de algunos docentes latinos; desde bajas habilidades cognitivas hasta altas capacidades digitales y una adecuada aplicación de los recursos técnicos (Colombia y Venezuela).
