Vivimos en unos tiempos que podríamos calificar de apasionantes y, a la vez, preocupantes. Los avances científico-tecnológicos corren a la par con la inseguridad interior, falta de alegría y perdida de la propia identidad en muchas personas e instituciones. Hoy se habla por doquier de los progresos que se producen a todos los niveles y en todos los campos de la vida humana; y pretenden conjugarse con las ideologias predominantes que nos envuelven: relativismo, hedonismo, generismo… Sin embargo, la paz interior sigue siendo una asignatura pendiente. ¿Que esta pasando? ¿Por que se produce esta paradoja? ¿Cuales son las causas? ¿Por que numerosos profesores y padres ignoran sus consecuencias? ¿Que se puede hacer? Si la educacion pretende, en ultima instancia, la plenitud personal que conduce a la felicidad, resulta evidente que la solucion tiene mucho que ver con el enfoque educativo que reciba cada persona, tanto en la familia como en el centro educativo. Este libro pretende dar respuesta a dichos interrogantes a partir de un analisis serio de la realidad actual, del que se obtiene una serie de conclusiones educativas capaces de conciliar el progreso cientifico y tecnico con la alegria derivada del mayor desarrollo personal posible.

Las conexiones de la Medicina y el Derecho con el mundo sociosanitario son más que evidentes y me han permitido estudiar, investigar, escribir y comunicar, en los últimos años, sobre la problemática de los mayores y de su complejo mundo social. Una conexion clinica particular con este colectivo y este mundo es el mal de Alzheimer, ese universo clinico cuyo conocimiento, desde mis puntos de vista, y sus repercusiones relacionales me impresionaron desde el principio. Personas braceando en ese inmenso mar de desolacion, sin orillas. Seres humanos asomados al abismo de su propia destruccion, indefensos ante la vida y con la unica ayuda de sus cuidadores. Solos ante su lenta, inexorable y progresiva autolisis. Enfermos a los que vemos en nuestra presencia, pero que, mirando sus ojos, sabemos que ya no estan con nosotros.

This collection addresses issues related to families and transition, and pays special attention to the transition to school, the effect of this on the family, as well as the effect of the family on that transition. It celebrates the roles of families, locating them as integral partners in time of transition and identifying a variety of ways in which families and educators can work together with children to promote positive transitions. The book draws on a range of theoretical frameworks and research projects to provide multiple perspectives of family involvement in education, family-educator partnerships, the nature of collaboration, issues for families in marginalised or complex circumstances, as well as the multiple intersections of families and transition processes. The research projects reported range from in-depth case studies to the analysis of large-scale data sets and all have multiple messages for practitioners, policy makers and researchers as they seek ways to engage with families as their children start school.

Es una realidad que la innovación es necesaria en Educación. Ante un mundo cambiante, la escuela no puede permanecer estática. El profesorado, el alumnado y las familias que forman parte de esta sociedad liquida tienen nuevos estilos de vida, nuevas necesidades, nuevas demandas. Urge cuestionarse ciertos planteamientos para proponer una enseñanza mas eficaz. Pero, ¿como llevarla a cabo? Es una cuestion compleja y delicada. Muchas veces se tiende a presentar como innovadoras ciertas pedagogias que no son mas que reciclaje de otras anteriores. Y lo que es peor, bajo la influencia de las modas y la presion del contexto, los educadores se precipitan en el uso de dispositivos y metodologias a veces inciertos. Tomemos por ejemplo algunas afirmaciones extendidas sobre innovacion: “hay que invertir la clase”, “la tecnologia es imprescindible en el aula”, “los alumnos aprenden mejor cuando descubren por si mismos”... ¿Se trata de ideas realmente nuevas? ¿Han demostrado su validez? ¿Que dicen las investigaciones sobre ellas? Andre Tricot desentraña la realidad de nueve mitos o realidades pedagogicos contemporaneos. Los docentes hallaran en este libro elementos para alimentar sus propias opiniones, asi como pistas para implantar buenas pra

El libro que tiene en sus manos ha sido escrito por un psicoanalista, aunque su autoría, como mínimo, ha sido compartida con ese Otro al que llamamos lo inconsciente. Cada relato parte de un tema central que ha sido vivido en la tierra de los sueños, habiendo sido novelado con posterioridad por un yo escritor bajo el nombre de Javier Castillo. Otra de las características importante de este trabajo es la de haber adquirido la condición de un hecho creativo independiente de su fuente creadora, estimulando la duda, la preguntay también la interpretación del lector. Un buen ejemplo de ello es la descripción que realiza Juan Bautista Peiró de su lectura: "Estas páginas ha provocado un buen número de agujeros en mis pensamientos. Lo cotidiano, lo erudito, lo coloquial, el absurdo, el humor, el sarcasmo, La crítica, la cordura, lo fantástico, La historia, La mitología ... conviven con una naturalidad a veces desconcertante pero definitivamente gratificante. Con una gran economía de medios y una senciLLez nada fácil, Javier CastiLLo nos atrapa no sólo en esa primera Lectura que termina sin parecer haber empezado, sino también con las relecturas obligadas por esos interrogantes que nos asaltan y nos enganchan como anzuelos de los que es imposible desprenderse". (Del preámbulo del libro) Estos breves relatos se pueden convertir en una lectura muy estimulante para cualquier persona interesada en la psicología profunda, la mitología, la educación, la literatura o el arte, pero sobre todo para aquellos buscadores del espíritu creativo que se nutren de las fuentes de lo eterno.

For more than two decades, the concept of student engagement has grown from simple attention in class to a construct comprised of cognitive, emotional, and behavioral components that embody and further develop motivation for learning. Similarly, the goals of student engagement have evolved from dropout prevention to improved outcomes for lifelong learning. This robust expansion has led to numerous lines of research across disciplines and are brought together clearly and comprehensively in the Handbook of Research on Student Engagement.The Handbook guides readers through the fields rich history, sorts out its component constructs, and identifies knowledge gaps to be filled by future research. Grounding data in real-world learning situations, contributors analyze indicators and facilitators of student engagement, link engagement to motivation, and gauge the impact of family, peers, and teachers on engagement in elementary and secondary grades. Findings on the effectiveness of classroom interventions are discussed in detail. And because assessing engagement is still a relatively new endeavor, chapters on measurement methods and issues round out this important resource.Topical areas addressed in the Handbook include:Engagement across developmental stages.Self-efficacy in the engaged learner.Parental and social influences on engagement and achievement motivation.The engaging nature of teaching for competency development.The relationship between engagement and high-risk behavior in adolescents.Comparing methods for measuring student engagement.An essential guide to the expanding knowledge base, the Handbook of Research on Student Engagement serves as a valuable resource for researchers, scientist-practitioners, and graduate students in such varied fields as clinical child and school psychology, educational psychology, public health, teaching and teacher education, social work, and educational policy.
