RESUMEN El objetivo de este trabajo es describir cuatro géneros discursivos empleados en actividades de literacidad académica (lectura y escritura) en una universidad del centro-sur de Chile. El ensayo considera las directrices metodológicas de Giovanni Parodi y colegas en el establecimiento de un microcorpus. Se concluye que los cuatro géneros constituyen prácticas epistémicas que favorecen el desarrollo de habilidades lingüísticas y la posibilidad de insertarse en las comunidades especializadas. Asimismo, que dos elementos clave para la utilización de géneros es su vínculo con los resultados de aprendizajes del currículum y las oportunidades para la articulación con otras asignaturas.

ABSTRACT The aim of this paper is to describe four discursive genres used in academic literacy activities (reading and writing) in a university in south-central Chile. The essay considers the methodological guidelines of Giovanni Parodi and colleagues in the establishment of a microcorpus. It is concluded that the four genres constitute epistemic practices that favor the development of linguistic skills and the possibility of insertion in specialized communities. Likewise, two key elements for the use of genres are their link with the learning outcomes of the curriculum and the opportunities for articulation with other subjects.

The standardisation process of a language is always a polemic undertaking, and Tshivenda is no exception. This article explores the Tshivenda dialects and the standardisation process that this language went through. The importance of language as a primary resource for an individual, social identification, and also as a means of learning and communication, cannot be overemphasised. Moreover, when different language varieties come into contact, acculturation is inevitable, i.e., linguistic and cultural elements from both sides will diffuse and "contaminate" each other's languages and culture. However, this phenomenon is not fully researched, especially among the Tshivenda dialects. The lexicographers and terminographers, who are tasked with the development and maintenance of the Tshivenda language, seem to be "trapped" in the colonial and apartheid era, i.e., of selecting and elevating one dialect over others to represent a language. Since 1994, the year of the dawn of a democratic dispensation in South Africa, this process has proceeded at a snail's pace. In this study, a qualitative, ethnographic approach was adopted, and data were collected through telephonic interviews, where six participants were purposefully and conveniently sampled. The findings of this study may benefit speakers of Tshivenda, lexicographers, terminographers, and all language practitioners, teachers, and learners. When people value their language and heritage, use it often without prejudice or hesitancy, and practice their culture and traditions, their identity, history, dignity, and heritage become preserved. Tshivenda, at the official level, may have many lexical items in its endeavour to carry out its function as an official language in different domains.

This article explores the use of artificial stuttering as a powerful practice and therapy in higher education in Palestine where the need for applied drama is increasing. It specifically focuses on the artistic and/or performative re-employment of Charles Dickens's Nicholas Nickleby to enhance the academic achievement and social development of dysfluent students throughout and beyond their university education. By using extra-curricular, art-mediated training and in-class performance of chosen passages from Dickens's narrative, students not only improve their linguistic and intellectual competencies but also develop dynamic confidence to articulate themselves in daily social contexts during self-presentation. This academic practice, which is part of a one-term educational disability programme, focuses on training a selected number of undergraduate students with a severe or mild stutter by relying on the technique of artificial impersonation of the stuttering of Smike, who is one of the most common Victorian dysfluent characters, in different melodramatic acts. In this experience, students show linguistic growth and social command of communication, and thus chart a new subjective identity.

BACKGROUND: Two intervention approaches are implemented in South Africa to alleviate the deleterious consequences of congenital or early onset hearing impairment on language acquisition and subsequent poor learning outcomes. AIM: This study investigated the learning outcomes of foundation phase learners with severe to profound hearing impairment who received Listening and Spoken Language - South Africa (LSL-SA) (adapted Auditory Verbal Therapy) therapy compared to those who received Traditional Speech-Language Therapy (TSLT). SETTING: The study was conducted at four early intervention (EI) schools for children with hearing impairment across three provinces in South Africa. METHODS: Data were collected through record reviews of their Speech-Language Therapy Outcomes and South African National Department of Basic Education academic report cards. Data were analysed using quantitative statistics. RESULTS: Findings demonstrated that children with hearing impairment enrolled in LSL-SA outperformed those enrolled in TSLT in achieving age-equivalent language outcomes. A higher percentage of learners enrolled in LSL-SA achieved meritorious to outstanding learning outcomes. While a comparable number of learners progressed to mainstream schooling, children with hearing impairment enrolled in LSL-SA are enrolled for a shorter duration until discharge than those enrolled in TSLT. This is an important finding, particularly in low-middle income countries (LMICs). CONCLUSION: Listening and Spoken Language - South Africa graduates achieved superior learning outcomes dependent on language attainment, providing contextually relevant evidence supporting the effectiveness of the LSL-SA EI approach. CONTRIBUTION: These context-specific outcomes stress the obligation to upscale and fast-track EI services. Implications for investment in LSL-SA are proposed through collaboration between families, educators, and early interventionists.

This article reports on a collaborative project for the digital innovation of language teaching in Palestine, and it argues for the necessity of mobile learning to circumvent disruption created by the Israeli occupation causing challenges that result in marginalisation and disenfranchisement of opportunity. This partly occurs through the oppression of a sovereign curriculum that supports Palestinian self-determination. This oppression is against both the United Nations Development Goals protected rights for education and the Palestinian Ministry's vision for a society with an education sector that embraces the use of technology to invigorate the value of its culture, produce knowledge and promote emancipation. The article proposes the integration of digital technologies with student-centred learning to enhance and support transformation through three main elements: 1. Digital competence to develop confidence and agency in teachers; 2. Continuous teacher learning to develop autonomy and collaboration within organisations; 3. Problem-solving competencies, which can result in continuous improvement loops and local solutions to barriers. This article will resonate with those recognising the need for critical theory to challenge policy and practice where it deepens disadvantage. It draws upon the voices of 20 teachers from four higher education institutions in Palestine, who reflect on the barriers to innovation and a reclaiming of educational terrain.

BACKGROUND: Globally professional accounting bodies expect of higher education institutions to develop integrated thinking skills in prospective chartered accountants. There are, however, many barriers in the way of both lecturers and students to achieve the development of integrated thinking skills AIM: This article sought to identify the most significant barriers lecturers and students face when developing integrated thinking skills in prospective chartered accountants during higher education SETTING: Interviews were conducted and an online questionnaire ministered METHOD: The mixed-method approach and a pragmatist paradigm are utilised. Both questionnaires and interviews were used to collect primary data. A triangulation between the quantitative data, qualitative data, and literature had been performed RESULTS: The three most significant barriers that lecturers face in developing integrated thinking skills are the volume of technical content, lack of expertise, and large classroom sizes. The three most significant barriers that students face in developing integrated thinking skills are students being overburdened with the technical content of the syllabus, not having been exposed to integrated thinking prior to higher education, and having to study in a second language CONCLUSION: The most significant barriers for both lecturers and students in the development of integrated thinking skills during the higher education of prospective chartered accountants are identified in this study CONTRIBUTION: While much has been published on the barriers to developing integrated thinking skills, a limited amount of literature addresses the specific barriers that exist in the accounting education field

This research addresses the scarcity of studies examining how participants in higher education exchange programmes, specifically the Fulbright Foreign Language Teaching Assistant (FLTA) programme, use situated learning experiences to develop professional knowledge. To fill this gap, the study examined how FLTAs construct and reconstruct teaching knowledge during their fellowship. Grounded in situated learning theory and experiential learning, the phenomenological design aligns with interpretive and qualitative traditions. The 2017-2018 cohort, comprising six FLTAs, participated in focused group discussions. Data analysis, utilising grounded theory approach, revealed that FLTAs constructed knowledge through structured programmes and personal-social experiences, employing introspective, retrospective, and prospective reflection practices. Additionally, participants emphasised the impact of accommodating and adapting beliefs, values, and dilemmas in challenging assumptions about higher education teaching and learning. This study contributes to a novel understanding of how planned activities and authentic experiences form the basis for professional knowledge construction across continents. TRANSDISCIPLINARY CONTRIBUTION: The transdisciplinary nature of this study allows for a holistic exploration of the process of teaching knowledge construction. By integrating insights from teacher knowledge construction, cognitive psychology, higher education teaching, inter-cultural practices and continuous professional development, this research provides a comprehensive understanding of how Fulbright FLTAs construct their professional knowledge during their fellowship. The study highlights the complexity of knowledge development, considering the cognitive processes involved, and addresses the context of higher education teaching and inter-cultural experiences. By emphasising the importance of continuous learning and growth, this research contributes to the field of teachers' knowledge development.

Resumo Há uma crescente preocupação em relação ao possível uso indevido do ChatGPT-4 comprometendo a integridade de exames e trabalhos académicos. Este estudo visa examinar as capacidades do ChatGPT-4 nas capacidades de pensamento crítico, avaliar se ele representa uma ameaça para exames e trabalhos no ensino superior e criar uma agenda de discussão sobre esse problema. Solicitou-se ao ChatGPT-4 que gerasse, respondesse e criticasse perguntas nas áreas de marketing turístico, gestão do turismo, economia do turismo, informação turística e gastronomia. As respostas foram avaliadas de acordo com padrões universais de pensamento crítico. Os resultados deste estudo mostraram que o ChatGPT-4 apresentou competência admirável em vários padrões de pensamento crítico e conseguiu produzir textos semelhantes aos humanos. No entanto, há certos domínios que podem ser aperfeiçoados para atender mais efetivamente às expetativas e normas académicas. Recomenda-se que os educadores adotem abordagens abrangentes que combinem técnicas tecnológicas e educacionais para lidar com o problema da fraude, facilitada por ferramentas como o ChatGPT-4, durante processos de avaliação e exames.

Abstract There is an increasing concern regarding the potential misuse of ChatGPT-4 in compromising the integrity of examinations and assignments. This study aims to examine the capabilities of ChatGPT-4 in critical thinking abilities, whether it poses a threat to examinations and assignments in higher education, and create a discussion agenda on this issue. ChatGPT-4 was asked to generate, answer, and criticize questions in tourism marketing, tourism management, tourism economics, tourist guidance, and gastronomy. The answers were evaluated according to universal critical thinking standards. The findings obtained from this study showed that ChatGPT-4 had commendable competence in several critical thinking standards and could produce human-like texts. However, there are certain domains that might be improved to comply more effectively with the expectations and norms of academia. Educators were recommended to use comprehensive approaches that combine technological and educational techniques to address the issue of cheating enabled by tools, such as ChatGPT-4, during assessment and exam processes.

The domain of quantitative skills is vital for the daily practice of nutritionists, therefore, a familiarization with mathematics must be developed within its formative context. The objective of this study is to investigate the perceptions of nutritionists in practice and in undergraduation regarding the teaching of mathematics in the nutrition course, in terms of the disciplinary structure, the articulation between theory and practice and the training of professors. For this, 4 interviews were conducted with nutritionists at different stages of their careers, examined through Bardin's content analysis. The results revealed the strong presence of mathematics in most subjects, highlighting its relevance not made explicit by the curriculum text. The teaching of mathematics in the course is predominantly theoretical, abstract and little connected with nutritional practice. The lack of articulation between knowledge impairs students' perspective on the usefulness of mathematics and influences their motivation for learning. The insufficient pedagogical preparation of professors impacts the teaching of mathematics, leading to the adoption of approaches based on the transmission of contents, repetition and memorization. The area of undergraduation of professors who teach Mathematics is one of the factors that lead professors not to address the applicability of the subjects taught with the future profession. Mathematics professors need to consider the specificities and needs of the students' training area, understanding the language and contexts of nutrition, in order to teach mathematical topics relevant to this field.

El dominio de las habilidades cuantitativas es vital para la práctica diaria de los nutricionistas, por eso, la familiarización con las matemáticas debe desarrollarse dentro del contexto formativo. El objetivo de este estudio es investigar las percepciones de los nutricionistas en práctica y en formación sobre la enseñanza de las matemáticas en el curso de nutrición, respecto a la estructura disciplinar, la articulación entre teoría y práctica y la formación de los profesores. Se realizaron 4 entrevistas a nutricionistas en diferentes etapas de su carrera, examinadas con el análisis de contenido de Bardin. Los resultados revelaron la fuerte presencia de las matemáticas en la mayoría de las materias, destacando su relevancia no explicitada por el texto curricular. La enseñanza de las matemáticas en el curso es predominantemente teórica, abstracta y poco conectada con la práctica nutricional. La falta de articulación entre saberes perjudica la perspectiva de los estudiantes sobre la utilidad de las matemáticas e influye en su motivación por aprender. La insuficiente preparación pedagógica de los profesores impacta la enseñanza de las matemáticas, llevando a la adopción de enfoques basados en la transmisión de contenidos, la repetición y la memorización. El área de formación de los profesores que imparten Matemática es uno de los factores que les llevan a no abordar la aplicabilidad de las materias impartidas con la futura profesión. Los profesores de matemáticas necesitan considerar las especificidades y necesidades de los estudiantes, comprendiendo el lenguaje y los contextos de la nutrición, para enseñar temas matemáticos relevantes.

É necessário que os docentes matemáticos considerem as especificidades e as necessidades da área de formação dos discentes, compreendendo a linguagem e os contextos da nutrição, para ensinar temas matemáticos relevantes a esse campo.

Resumen La pandemia de la covid-19 provocó que se instaurara en Argentina durante el 2020 la modalidad a distancia para continuar las clases en el sistema universitario. En este artículo se presenta un estudio sobre las percepciones y perspectivas del profesorado de la Facultad de Ciencias de la Educación de la Universidad Nacional de Entre Ríos sobre esta virtualización educativa de emergencia. La metodología se enmarca en el estudio de caso; para la recolección de la información se recurrió a una encuesta virtual y se efectuó un análisis cualitativo y cuantitativo de las respuestas. Se implementó un análisis estadístico de patrones de uso del lenguaje mediante el programa Linguistic Inquiry and Word Count para examinar los procesos afectivos, cognitivos y sociales vinculados al uso de las tecnologías durante la pandemia. Los resultados indican que si bien el profesorado contaba con tecnologías disponibles, tenía habilidades para su uso y disponía del entorno virtual institucional, en ese momento se manifestaron dificultades emergentes relacionadas con sus condiciones de habitabilidad y con las posibilidades de organización espaciotemporal para realizar el teletrabajo. Se concluye que factores extracognitivos, como las condiciones domésticas y las percepciones sobre la virtualidad en la enseñanza, son dos aspectos insoslayables para avanzar hacia modalidades con mayor grado de mediatización durante la pospandemia.

Abstract The COVID-19 pandemic obliged Argentina to adopt distance learning to continue university classes during 2020. In this article, a study is presented on the perceptions and perspectives of the faculty in the School of Education Sciences of the Universidad Nacional de Entre Ríos regarding this emergency educational virtualization. The methodology regards a case study. For the collection of information, a virtual survey was used that led to a qualitative and quantitative analysis of the responses. A statistical analysis of language patterns was implemented through the program Linguistic Inquiry and Word Count in order to examine affective, cognitive, and social processes linked to the use of technologies during the pandemic. The results indicate that, whereas the faculty had available technologies, abilities to use them, and an appropriate institutional environment, in that moment emerging difficulties manifested related to the conditions of livability and the possibilities of spatial-temporal organization for carrying out telework. It is concluded that extracognitive factors, such as domestic conditions and perceptions of virtuality in teaching, are two unavoidable aspects for moving towards modalities with a higher degree of mediatization during the post-pandemic period.

Resumen El artículo se basa en una investigación incipiente acerca de la Diplomatura en Interpretación y Traducción Intercultural Wichí-Castellano para el Acceso a la Justicia. El objetivo de la pesquisa es comprender las experiencias de los estudiantes de la Diplomatura y cómo se relacionan con los modos en que se desarrolla esta política educativa institucional. La metodología sigue una lógica cualitativa, enmarcada en la Antropología de la Educación y la Pedagogía Crítica. Se trata de un estudio de caso que recupera aportes de la etnografía como enfoque. Esta experiencia resulta relevante por ser la primera carrera universitaria, en Argentina, destinada exclusivamente a miembros de un pueblo indígena que son bilingües (wichí-español). Además, se utilizan ambas lenguas para su dictado, que se desarrolla con docentes indígenas y no indígenas, lo cual cobra mayor relevancia por el valor identitario que tiene la lengua para el pueblo wichí. Se destaca, también, por el protagonismo de los wichí en la demanda, diseño y desarrollo de la Diplomatura, así como la participación de diferentes instituciones. Los primeros análisis en la investigación nos permitieron identificar esta experiencia como transformadora, dado que modifica las relaciones históricas de estos estudiantes con la educación formal, en sus trayectorias previas.

Abstract The article is based on an incipient investigation of the Diploma in Wichí-Spanish Intercultural Interpretation and Translation for Access to Justice. The objective of the research is to understand the experiences of the students of the Diploma and how they are related to how this institutional educational policy is developed. The methodology adheres to a qualitative logic, framed in the Anthropology of Education and Critical Pedagogy. It is a case study that recovers contributions from ethnography as an approach. This experience is relevant because it is the first university course in Argentina, aimed exclusively at members of an indigenous people who are bilingual (Wichí-Spanish). In addition, both languages are used for dictation, which is carried out with indigenous and non-indigenous teachers, which becomes more relevant due to the identity value that the language has for the Wichí people. It also stands out for the role of the Wichí in the demand, design, and development of the Diploma, as well as the participation of different institutions. The first analysis in the research allowed us to identify this experience as transformative, since it modifies the historical relationships of these students with formal education, in their previous trajectories.
