Espacio, tiempo y educación
2015
This paper analyzes the role played by the student movement in the restitution of democracy in Spain. Taking as a starting point the situation of university under the Franco dictatorship, and how (and why) students were dealt with, the major features that set the student movement apart from other kinds of activism in that time are described and linked to the unique effects that it had on the status quo, with a special stress on its ability to generate the kind of cultural change required for overcoming the atmosphere of resignation and consent that helped to keep the government in power. The way in which culture, personal issues, and politics got intertwined is shown as a key trait of stude…
The Studium Generale foundation and its juridic tradition
2020
Tras unas consideraciones sobre las relaciones entre el proceso de consolidación de una oligarquía urbana, durante el siglo XIII, y la misma fundación del Estudio General, entre otras razones esgrimidas por la historiografía, reflexionamos, en esta ocasión, sobre la tradición jurídica que ayudaría a definir el contexto normativo fundacional, y, derivado de esto, la necesidad e importancia de aquella primera Facultad de Derecho (Civil y Canónico) surgida en los territorios hispánicos de la Corona de Aragón, así como de los juristas que impartieron sus lecciones y de aquellos que las recibieron. After some considerations on the relationships between the process of consolidation of an urban ol…
Faculty Perception of Inclusion in the University: Concept, Policies and Educational Practices
2021
European universities must face the challenge of diversity and design inclusive practices to address it as part of their social responsibility. However, not all universities are doing the same in terms of diversity practices, so it is important to gather the perceptions of the protagonists. To this end, we have analysed university faculty’s perceptions using a mixed model with a concurrent methodological strategy, including an ad hoc questionnaire validated with 880 educators, as well as 17 semi‐structured interviews. The triangulation of these two instruments allowed us to analyse three key dimensions associated with the idea of attention to diversity in the university: diversity concept o…
Coordinación docente y precariedad. Modelos de coordinación en la enseñanza de la Sociología en Andalucía
2021
espanolDesde la implantacion de los Sistemas de Garantia de Calidad, la ensenanza universitaria ha incorporado mecanismos y figuras de coordinacion a la practica docente. Sin embargo, su aplicacion dista de ser homogenea. Un mecanismo disenado originalmente para la mejora de la calidad docente ha cobrado una nueva significacion e importancia debido al contexto de precarizacion generalizada de las plantillas de profesorado en la universidad. Este trabajo plantea un analisis del contexto, las bases teoricas y los distintos modelos de coordinacion implementados en una serie de universidades donde se imparte el grado de Sociologia en Andalucia, pero los resultados son perfectamente extrapolable…

Comparison of housing first and traditional homeless service users in eight european countries: Protocol for a mixed methods, Multi-site study
2020
Background Homeless services expend considerable resources to provide for service users’ most basic needs, such as food and shelter, but their track record for ending homelessness is disappointing. An alternative model, Housing First, reversed the order of services so that homeless individuals are offered immediate access to independent housing, with wraparound supports but no treatment or abstinence requirements. Although the evidence base for Housing First’s effectiveness in ending homelessness is robust, less is known about its effectiveness in promoting recovery. Objective The objective of this research is to compare rehabilitation- and recovery-related outcomes of homeless services us…
Bridging human and machine learning for the needs of collective intelligence development
2020
There are no doubts that artificial and human intelligence enhance and complement each other. They are stronger together as a team of Collective (Collaborative) Intelligence. Both require training for personal development and high performance. However, the approaches to training (human vs. machine learning) are traditionally very different. If one needs efficient hybrid collective intelligence team, e.g. for managing processes within the Industry 4.0, then all the team members have to learn together. In this paper we point out the need for bridging the gap between the human and machine learning, so that some approaches used in machine learning will be useful for humans and vice-versa, some …
