This study investigated the convergence between acts of writing and game-based learning in the context of health research in a public university. While writing is traditionally used to transmit scientific knowledge and research, game-based learning emerges as an alternative interactive and engaging approach. We examined the strengths and challenges of integrating this approach into the post-graduation course. Strengths include improved understanding of complex concepts, increased student engagement and promotion of creativity, while challenges include finding the right balance between academic rigidity and game-based learning, guaranteeing scientific precision in a game-based learning context and overcoming potential institutional resistance. Our findings highlight the importance of exploring innovative teaching and communication strategies on post-graduation health courses aimed at enhancing student training and promoting broader dissemination of scientific knowledge.

Abstract The measurement of financial literacy is of great interest to both academics and public policy designers. Despite this, few Latin American researchers have undertaken studies proposing scales with the necessary methodological qualities. In this context, this study aims to evaluate the Financial Literacy on Key Financial Decisions (FLKD) scale in three samples from three Latin American countries, with the purpose of identifying whether the instrument is suitable for use as a tool that validly and reliably calibrates among young adults. To achieve this, reliability analysis, correlations, and confirmatory factor analysis are conducted, employing Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). It is important to note that this process is confirmatory, not semi- confirmatory. The results indicate that the model fit in each sample approximates the expected values, with better results in the overall sample, although falling below stricter cutoff parameters. Despite this, the findings support the assertion that the FLKD scale constitutes an appropriate starting point to be refined and applied to young university students in Latin American countries. Furthermore, the findings suggest the possibility of exploring new relationships and analyses that enhance the understanding of how the financial behavior variable is interconnected. This holistic approach can enrich the comprehension of financial literacy and its impact on individuals' financial wellbeing in the region.

Resumen La medición del constructo de la alfabetización financiera es un tema de gran interés tanto para académicos como para diseñadores de políticas públicas. A pesar de ello, pocos investigadores latinoamericanos han emprendido trabajos que propongan escalas con las cualidades metodológicas necesarias. En este contexto, este estudio tiene como objetivo evaluar la escala de Alfabetización Financiera sobre Decisiones Financieras Clave (FLKD, por sus siglas en inglés) en tres muestras de tres países latinoamericanos, con la finalidad de identificar si el instrumento es apto para ser utilizado como herramienta que calibra de manera válida y confiable entre jóvenes adultos. Para esto se lleva a cabo el análisis de confiabilidad, de correlaciones y factorial confirmatorio, utilizando además el Modelado de Sistema de Ecuaciones Estructurales (SEM). Se destaca que este proceso es confirmatorio, es decir, no semi confirmatorio. Los resultados indican que el ajuste del modelo en cada muestra se aproxima a lo esperado, obteniendo mejores resultados en la muestra global, aunque por debajo de los parámetros de corte más estrictos. A pesar de este hecho, los resultados respaldan la afirmación de que la escala FLKD constituye un adecuado punto de partida para ser afinado y aplicado en jóvenes universitarios de países latinoamericanos. Además, los hallazgos sugieren que existe la posibilidad de explorar nuevas relaciones y análisis que amplíen la comprensión de cómo la variable de comportamiento financiero se relaciona. Este enfoque holístico puede enriquecer la comprensión de la alfabetización financiera y su impacto en el bienestar financiero de los individuos en la región.

Abstract: The aim of this research study is to describe and analyze gender equality policies implemented by universities of the Council of Rectors of Chilean Universities (CRUCH). A qualitative methodology is applied through a documentary analysis design. Gender policy information published on the web pages of 30 universities is reviewed. In total, 711 documents are examined and processed through reflexive thematic analysis. The results show that the implementation of gender policies by Chilean universities has had emphasis on the prevention and punishment of gender-based violence, sexual harassment, and social name recognition. To a lesser extent, some universities have implemented support for student parents. In conclusion, all CRUNCH universities examined in the present study have implemented gender initiatives and policies during the last few years.

En total, se examinan 711 documentos que se procesan a través un análisis temático reflexivo. Los resultados muestran que la implementación de políticas de género en universidades chilenas ha tenido énfasis en la prevención y sanción de la violencia de género, el acoso sexual y el reconocimiento del nombre social. En menor medida, algunas universidades han implementado apoyos para estudiantes que son padres o madres. En conclusión, todas las universidades pertenecientes al CRUCH analizadas en este estudio han implementado iniciativas y políticas de género durante los últimos años.

Abstract: The purpose of this research lies in evaluating the current state of higher university education about bioethics studies in the faculties of health sciences in the Peruvian territory. The methodological design adopts a descriptive level with a mixed approach that is divided into two stages: The first consists of a qualitative theoretical-analytical-rational analysis, followed by a subsequent empirical analysis with a quantitative, descriptive, and cross-sectional approach. The main discoveries refer to the existence of nineteen licensed public universities in Peru that offer the Human Medicine degree. However, it was found that the Bioethics course is only available in nine of these institutions. In summary, it can be affirmed that in the educational programs of careers related to health sciences, attempts are made to address ethical principles from different perspectives, for example, through courses on general ethics or deontology. However, this strategy is not considered adequate. In addition, it is imperative to promote an educational policy within the faculties of health sciences that mandates the mandatory inclusion of a bioethics course in the curricula of health sciences programs.

Resumen: El propósito de esta investigación es evaluar el estado actual de la educación universitaria superior en relación con los estudios de Bioética en las facultades de ciencias de la salud en el territorio peruano. El diseño metodológico adopta un nivel descriptivo con enfoque mixto dividido en dos etapas: la primera consistió en un análisis teórico analítico-racional cualitativo, seguido de un análisis empírico posterior con enfoque cuantitativo, descriptivo y transversal. Los principales descubrimientos se refieren a la existencia de diecinueve universidades públicas licenciadas en el Perú que ofrecen la carrera de Medicina Humana. Sin embargo, se constató que el curso de Bioética sólo está disponible en nueve de estas instituciones. En resumen, se puede afirmar que en los programas educativos de las carreras relacionadas con ciencias de la salud se intenta abordar los principios éticos desde perspectivas distintas, por ejemplo, a través de cursos de ética general o deontología. No obstante, esta estrategia no es considerada adecuada, por lo que es imperativo promover una política educativa dentro de las facultades de ciencias de la salud que ordene la inclusión obligatoria de un curso de Bioética en los planes de estudio de los programas de ciencias de la salud.

Resumo: O propósito dessa investigação é avaliar o estado atual da educação universitária superior em relação aos estudos de bioética nas faculdades de ciências da saúde no Peru. O desenho metodológico adotou um nível descritivo com enfoque misto que se dividiu em duas etapas: a primeira consistiu em uma análise teórica analítico-racional qualitativa, seguida de uma análise empírica posterior com enfoque quantitativo, descritivo e transversal. Os principais achados se referem à existência de dezenove universidades públicas licenciadas no Perú que oferecem a carreira de Medicina Humana. Sem dúvida, constatou-se que o curso de Bioética só se encontra disponível em nove destas instituições. Em resumo, pode-se afirmar que nos programas educativos das carreiras relacionadas com ciências da saúde tenta-se abordar os princípios éticos a partir de diferentes perspectivas, por exemplo, através de cursos de ética geral ou deontologia. Apesar disso, essa estratégia não é considerada adequada. Além disso, é imperativo promover uma política educativa dentro das faculdades de ciências da saúde que determine a inclusão obrigatória de um curso de bioética nos planos de estudo dos programas de ciências da saúde.

O debate acadêmico sobre internacionalização do ensino superior, acumulado nas últimas três décadas, discorre sobre estratégias de políticas científicas de universidades e governos no intuito de galgarem melhores posições em rankings universitários. No Brasil, a internacionalização está bastante vinculada à Avaliação dos Programas de Pós-graduação (CAPES), sendo um dos principais indicadores, meta fundamental para o desenvolvimento científico e excelência do ensino superior do país. Esta pesquisa realiza uma análise cientométrica da produção do conhecimento sobre o tema a partir de 251 teses e dissertações, defendidas entre 2013-2022, com o objetivo de responder: a) quais os temas predominantes nessas produções e como eles dialogam entre si? b) Como essa produção se comporta em suas dimensões geográfica, institucional e de campo de conhecimento? Como resultados, constatamos que a produção se destaca nas áreas de Educação e Administração, com concentração na região sul. Tematicamente, é significativa a ênfase na avaliação da ciência e dos programas de pós-graduação, a dimensão estudantil em programas de mobilidade internacional, além de aspectos relativos ao ensino. A análise de rede bimodal (áreas e palavras) nos permite indicar a evidência de pelo menos quatro agendas de pesquisa: (i) Políticas educacionais e de ensino, com ênfase para a pós-graduação, (ii) Gestão e planejamento do ensino e das IES, (iii) Língua estrangeira e colonialidade, e (iv) Políticas governamentais, regulação e produção acadêmica.

The academic debate about internationalization of higher education, which has accumulated over the last three decades, discusses the scientific policy strategies of universities and governments in order to achieve better positions in university rankings. In Brazil, internationalization is linked to the Evaluation of Postgraduate Programmes (CAPES), which is one of the main indicators, and is a fundamental goal for scientific development and excellence in higher education in the country. This research conducts a scientometric analysis of the production of knowledge on the subject from 251 theses and dissertations defended between 2013-2022, with the aim of answering: a) what are the predominant themes in these productions and how do they dialogue with each other? b) How does this production behave in its geographical, institutional and field of knowledge dimensions? We found that the production stands out in the areas of Education and Administration, with a concentration in the southern region. Thematically, there is a significant emphasis on the evaluation of science and postgraduate programs, the student dimension in international mobility programs, and aspects related to teaching. In addition, the bimodal network analysis (areas and words) allows us to point to evidence of at least four research agendas: (i) Educational and teaching policies, with an emphasis on postgraduate level, (ii) Management and planning of teaching and HEIs, (iii) Foreign language and coloniality, and (iv) Government policies, regulation and academic production.

The objective of this work is to present the preliminary results of a study that aims to investigate the consequences of the implementation of the educational itineraries in the public system on the experience of teaching and learning of faculty and students. To achieve this, we conducted qualitative research with field observation work in a full-time school in Campinas-SP and semistructured interviews with the faculty and students. The interviews were analyzed from the perspective of Content Analysis, which resulted in thematic categories, with the following most frequent themes: strategies, affections, time, university entrance exam, relation to conventional classes and methodology among the faculty; and of affections, relation to conventional classes, university entrance exam and relevance of the teacher among the students. These themes point to the perception of the deepening of inequality brought by the itineraries, to the distancing between the expectations and interests of the school community and the policy and to the centrality of the faculty work in the process of curriculum adaptation.

O objetivo deste trabalho é apresentar os resultados preliminares de uma pesquisa que busca investigar as consequências da implementação dos itinerários formativos na rede pública para a experiência de ensino e aprendizagem de docentes e estudantes. Para isso, foi realizada uma pesquisa qualitativa com trabalho de observação de campo em uma escola de tempo integral de Campinas-SP, além de entrevistas semiestruturadas com docentes e estudantes. As entrevistas foram analisadas sob a perspectiva da Análise de Conteúdo que resultou em categorias temáticas, constatando-se a maior frequência dos temas: estratégias, afetos, tempo, vestibular, relação com as disciplinas tradicionais e metodologia entre as docentes; e afetos, relação com as disciplinas tradicionais, vestibular e relevância do professor entre as estudantes. Essas temáticas apontam para a percepção do aprofundamento da desigualdade proporcionada pelos itinerários, para o distanciamento entre as expectativas e interesses da comunidade escolar e a política e para a centralidade do trabalho docente no processo de tradução do currículo.

Abstract The article aims to reconstruct the growth of Law Schools from the national perspective in two periods of higher education expansion in Brazil. In the first period, from 1964 to 1980, the paper emphasizes the role of private institutions in the expansion and the dominant conception of undergraduate studies as being vocational. In the second period, from 1996 to 2019, it thematizes the legislation created after the 1988 Constitution, which includes the changing conception of university education, and the processes of commodification and financialization of higher education. Lastly, the paper deals with full and partial distance learning in undergraduate degrees and discusses the role of the Brazilian Bar Association in face of the expansion of the Law Schools. The article contributes to the comprehension of a phenomenon that is frequently mentioned by the literature but has not yet been analyzed from empirical data. Grounded on the changes of legislation and policy, and on the data from the Statistical Yearbook of Brazil and Higher Education Census, the paper shows that the growth of Law Schools followed the expansion of higher education in Brazil in both periods and that the area’s main particularity is that the Ministry of Education did not authorize the creation of schools with full distance learning for undergraduate Law degrees in the period. period 196 1980 vocational 199 2019 198 Constitution Lastly policy Census areas area s 19 201 1 20 2

Resumo O artigo tem como objetivo reconstruir o crescimento dos cursos de Direito a partir do cenário nacional em dois momentos de expansão da educação superior no Brasil. No primeiro, de 1964 a 1980, é enfatizado o papel das instituições privadas na expansão e a concepção dominante da graduação como profissionalizante. No segundo, de 1996 a 2019, são tematizados a legislação criada a partir da Constituição de 1988, incluída a mudança de concepção sobre o papel da formação universitária, e os processos de mercantilização e de financeirização da educação superior. Por fim, o texto trata do ensino a distância e da sua entrada nos cursos presenciais e discute o papel da Ordem dos Advogados do Brasil frente à expansão dos cursos de Direito. O trabalho contribui para a compreensão de um fenômeno bastante mencionado na literatura, porém ainda não analisado a partir de dados empíricos. Fundamentado pelas mudanças de legislação e de política pública e pelos dados do Anuário Estatísticos do Brasil e do Censo da Educação Superior, o texto mostra que os cursos de Direito acompanharam a expansão da educação superior no Brasil em ambos os períodos e que a principal particularidade do curso está em o MEC não ter autorizado abertura de cursos da área na modalidade a distância no período. primeiro 196 1980 profissionalizante segundo 199 2019 1988 universitária fim literatura empíricos Superior período 19 198 201 1 20 2

Abstract In January 2023, the Law for the Institutionalisation of Public Policy Evaluation in the General State Administration came into force in Spain. This law takes an important step by establishing the evaluation of public policies (EPP) as an instrument to improve the effective and efficient use of public resources and to make the decision-making process more transparent. This requires trained personnel to carry out evaluations. The aim of this article is to present how university education in EPP is structured in the public universities of Spain and how the various university degrees linked mainly to Political Science incorporate courses on public policy analysis and evaluation. Based on the observation and analysis of the presence of these courses in universities, this study shows in the development of political science studies, EPP is at an incipient stage, this being a relatively young approach in Spain within the realm of Political Science and partially limited to a few universities. The proportion of academic credits in public policy analysis and evaluation out of the overall volume of courses is marginal. This implies that in terms of the skillset attained at the end of university education and its transfer to the workplace, it vastly depends on certain universities and the completion of their coursework.

Resumen En enero de 2023 entró en vigor en España la Ley de Institucionalización de la Evaluación de Políticas Públicas en la Administración General del Estado. Esta ley da un paso importante al establecer la evaluación de políticas públicas (EPP) como elemento para mejorar el uso eficaz y eficiente de los recursos públicos y dotar de una mayor transparencia al proceso de toma de decisiones. Para ello es necesario contar con personal capacitado para realizar las evaluaciones. El objetivo de este artículo es presentar cómo se estructura la formación universitaria dentro de las universidades públicas españolas en EPP y cómo los diferentes grados universitarios vinculados mayoritariamente a la Ciencia Política introducen la formación en análisis y evaluación de políticas públicas. A partir de la observación y análisis de la presencia de estas formaciones en las universidades, este estudio muestra cómo la EPP se encuentra en una fase bastante incipiente en el desarrollo dentro de los estudios de ciencia política, siendo un enfoque relativamente joven en España dentro de la Ciencia Política y parcialmente limitado a unas cuantas universidades. El volumen de créditos formativos en análisis y evaluación de políticas públicas sobre el total de la formación es marginal. Esto significa que, en términos de competencias alcanzadas al final de la formación universitaria y de la transferencia de esos aprendizajes al puesto de trabajo, depende de la realización de la formación universitaria en determinadas universidades.

ABSTRACT Using data from the 2020 higher education admission process, this article analyzes the distributive behavior of the special quotas of a Chilean socio-educational inclusion policy. Several indicators have been created to profile both the demand and the programmatic offer that adheres to this initiative. The results show that the allocation of special quotas is neither homogeneous nor random; the higher the elitism, academic profile and socioeconomic characteristics of a program's enrollment, the lower its number of vacancies for special admission. Likewise, special quotas increase in programs with low levels of demand and that concentrate students with low performance in admission tests. The conclusions discuss whether the contribution of the most prestigious programs make to social inclusion is more symbolic than real, as well as the configuration of a logic of instrumental use of special admission in programs with low demand.

RESUMEN Utilizando datos del proceso de admisión a la educación superior en 2020, este artículo analiza el comportamiento distributivo de los cupos especiales de una política de inclusión socioeducativa chilena. Se crearon distintos indicadores para perfilar tanto la demanda como la oferta programática que adhiere a esta iniciativa. Los resultados evidencian que la asignación de cupos especiales no es homogénea ni azarosa; conforme mayor es la elitización, perfil académico y atributos socioeconómicos de la matrícula de un programa, menor es su cantidad de vacantes para admisión especial. Asimismo, los cupos especiales aumentan en carreras con bajos niveles de demanda y que concentran estudiantes con bajo desempeño en pruebas de admisión. Las conclusiones discuten si la contribución que los programas de mayor prestigio hacen a la inclusión social es más simbólica que real, así como la configuración de una lógica de uso instrumental de la admisión especial en programas de baja demanda.

Primary school educators in South Africa often experience difficulties in applying recommended adaptive assessment methods in large multilingual classes, with these challenges being exacerbated when teaching and assessing English as First Additional Language (EFAL). In this article, we report on a study that explored Grade 6 educators' knowledge and use of adaptive assessment methods when teaching EFAL. The national Policy on Screening, Identification, Assessment and Support ([SIAS] Department of Basic Education [DBE], Republic of South Africa [RSA], 2014) underpins our study as a theoretical framework. We followed a qualitative research approach to examine the knowledge as well as the classroom practices of 6 purposively selected educators who taught EFAL. The study was grounded in the interpretivist paradigm and investigated educators' lived experiences integrating adaptive assessment procedures into the teaching of EFAL in Grade 6 inclusive classrooms. We relied on semi-structured interviews, observation, and document analysis to collect data and performed thematic analysis to identify, analyse and report repeated patterns. The findings from our study indicate that the participating educators perceived their training in inclusive education and their use of adaptive assessment methods as inadequate, especially in the context of large, under-resourced classrooms. As a result, we recommend that educators should receive the necessary support from the school-based support teams and the district-based support teams to use adaptive assessment methods when teaching EFAL.

ABSTRACT This article examines the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) in education, focusing on the perceptions and experiences of young students at the Agrarian University of Ecuador (UAE) Using focus groups, we explore how students learned about AI, how they used it in their studies and daily lives, and their views on its usefulness and challenges. The results show that while AI offers personalized learning and assessment, it also raises concerns about technology dependence, data privacy, and potential biases. In addition, ethical and economic issues related to its implementation in educational institutions are discussed. The study highlights the need for a balanced approach that maximizes the benefits of artificial intelligence while minimizing its risks, and recommends the ethical use of these technologies with virtue and conscience in the future of education. This study provides a framework for strategic thinking and action for educators and policy makers in the integration of artificial intelligence in education.

RESUMEN El presente articulo examino el impacto de la inteligencia artificial (IA) en la educación, centrándose en las percepciones y experiencias de los jóvenes estudiantes de la Universidad Agraria del Ecuador (UAE) Utilizando grupos focales, se exploró cómo los estudiantes aprendieron sobre la IA, cómo la usaron en sus estudios y en su vida diaria, y sus puntos de vista sobre su utilidad y sus desafíos. Los resultados muestran que, si bien la IA ofrece aprendizaje y evaluación personalizados, también genera preocupaciones sobre la dependencia de la tecnología, la privacidad de los datos y posibles sesgos. Además, se discuten cuestiones éticas y económicas relacionadas con su implementación en las instituciones educativas. El estudio destaca la necesidad de un enfoque equilibrado que maximice los beneficios de la inteligencia artificial minimizando sus riesgos, y recomienda el uso ético de estas tecnologías con virtud y conciencia en el futuro de la educación. Este estudio proporciona un marco para el pensamiento y la acción estratégicos para educadores y formuladores de políticas en la integración de la inteligencia artificial en la educación.

ABSTRACT Introduction: A quality education for university students of medical sciences is part of the policy established by the Cuban State for Higher Education. Correspondingly, a research project is being developed aimed at raising the quality in the training process of the students of the University of Medical Sciences of Camagüey; For this reason, the objective of this text is to present the results of the process of characterization of the assumed problematic situation, taking into account the linguistic and technological dimensions, based on the application of research instruments during the initial diagnosis stage to professionals and students who make up the sample. Method: The research is classified as R&D, of a causal explanatory observational nature, which produces systems of actions to raise the quality of the training of future professionals at the University of Medical Sciences of Camagüey and is developed between January 2023 and December 2024. The non-probabilistic sampling by quota is made up of students from different faculties, teachers, professionals and non-teaching workers. Results: Insufficiencies were found in the development of computer skills to complement their studies through the search for information in virtual learning environments, to which are added the difficulties that the students in the sample present in expressing themselves and understanding texts, using the use of English for professional purposes. Discussion: The results were compared with those of con scholars who, at a national and global level, have investigated the topic of achieving quality in training processes at the university, and with this the usefulness of the study was corroborated.

RESUMEN Introducción: Una educación de calidad para los estudiantes universitarios de las ciencias médicas es parte de la política establecida por el Estado cubano para el nivel superior. En correspondencia se desarrolla un proyecto de investigación dirigido a la elevación de la calidad en el proceso formativo de los estudiantes de la Universidad de Ciencias Médicas de Camagüey; por ello el presente texto tiene como objetivo exponer los resultados del proceso de caracterización de la situación problémica asumida, atendiendo a las dimensiones lingüística y tecnológica, a partir de la aplicación de los instrumentos de investigación durante la etapa del diagnóstico inicial a profesionales y estudiantes que conforman la muestra.

Discusión: Se confrontaron los resultados con los de otros estudiosos que, a nivel nacional y mundial, han investigado sobre la temática acerca del logro de la calidad en los procesos de formación en la universidad y con ello se corroboró la utilidad del estudio.

BACKGROUND: Despite inpatient rehabilitation many stroke survivors struggle with community reintegration on returning home. The environment to which the stroke survivor returns affects and may limit participation in home and community-based activities. AIM: To describe stroke survivors' lived experiences of the environmental barriers and facilitators to community reintegration in an under resourced urban metropolitan sub-district in the Western Cape, South Africa. METHODS: A descriptive, qualitative study design with a phenomenological emphasis used semi-structured interviews to collect the data from purposefully selected stroke survivors who had been discharged for more than one year following inpatient rehabilitation. Supporting data were collected from interviews with two occupational therapists providing rehabilitation services to the stroke survivors. Deductive priori coding of semi-structured interviews with 11 stroke survivors, based on the environment subsystems described in the Person-Environment-Occupation-Performance (PEOP) model explored the barriers and facilitators to their community reintegration. FINDINGS: Of the six environmental sub systems in the PEOP model the systems and policy, access to information and health education, social determinants of health in the form of poor rehabilitation planning and loss of income as well as the built and natural environment presented the greatest barriers to the stroke survivor participants' community reintegration. However, reintegration was facilitated by social support and social capital, social determinants of health in the form of support groups as well as assistive technologies. CONCLUSION: Community reintegration continues to be a challenge for stroke survivors in an under-resourced urban sub-district due to environmental barriers associated with factors such as poor social support, inadequate implementation of policies and systems, poor compliance with home programmes, low socioeconomic status, poor access within the built and natural environment and inappropriate assistive devices. Several facilitators that occupational therapists can focus on to enable community reintegration included ensuring effective social support, access to community-based organisations, the introduction of home visits and provision of appropriate assistive devices. IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE All stroke survivors must receive a comprehensive discharge plan to facilitate adequate access to continued rehabilitation and support for successful community reintegration. • There must be a specific referral to primary health care rehabilitation services on discharge from hospital. • Occupational therapists at community level have the responsibility to: o advocate for, or assist stroke survivors to self-advocate, the removal of inter-sectoral environmental barriers that limit their community reintegration and community participation, o where possible provide services in the home and involve midlevel workers when conducting home visits to enable successful reintegration into the home and resumption of occupational roles where possible, o look to other resources in their community that can assist in facilitating the community reintegration of stroke survivors to enable access to health, education, productive activities, and social and leisure participation opportunities, o improve their collaboration with the communities that they service.

RESUMEN La realidad mundial nos sitúa ante la idea de que la sociedad moderna y sus fundamentos están en crisis. La pandemia y sus efectos en la salud integral, la crisis económica y política de numerosos países, junto con los movimientos migratorios, el auge de los nacionalismos; unido a la fragilidad política y social provocada por la guerra de Ucrania, demandan no sólo saber cómo actuar en el presente, sino que hace imprescindible elevar la mirada y adelantarse a iluminar el futuro. Este estudio reflexiona acerca del rol de las universidades de confesión cristiana en la transformación social y su tarea en la reflexión crítica de la realidad. Los resultados de la propuesta surgen de la convergencia y diálogo entre el pensamiento de Benedicto XVI e Ignacio Ellacuría SJ. El propósito es poner el foco en la comprensión que estos grandes pensadores cristianos del siglo XX tuvieron acerca de la misión de la universidad y contribuir con ello en la reflexión a la que el Pacto Educativo Global convoca. integral países migratorios nacionalismos Ucrania presente futuro SJ convoca

Abstract Neoliberal reforms arising from Spain’s entrance into the European Higher Education Area (EHEA) have had major consequences for academic practice and unleashed heated debate in the university community and society. This article explores the main transformations and basis of the political-economic model of public universities in Spain. It focuses on two dimensions of the institutional framework that have had a significant impact on teaching and research practice in universities: the strategic focus of research policy and labor regulations and employment conditions. To address both dimensions, the analysis centers on the implications each has for the reproduction of a specific discipline, social anthropology, in the context of the University of Seville. The article describes some of the main factors conditioning and limiting these two dimensions, in particular how business logic and neocolonialism are driving new research policy and how a combination of neoliberal organization of labor, meritocracy and clientelist networks are impact hiring practices and intensifying labor precarization.
