Hablemos de modelos pedagogicos actuales

Un modelo pedagógico es un sistema que pretende establecer una serie de técnicas, estrategias y medios de enseñanza. El objetivo de los modelos pedagógicos es lograr que los alumnos alcancen un aprendizaje significativo. Además, mediante los modelos pedagógicos se pueden establecer criterios y secuencias de evaluación. Por otro lado, los modelos pedagógicos actuales difieren mucho de los que se utilizaban hace algunos años. Los estudios y la investigación en pedagogía avanza a ritmos agigantados, y por eso es importante conocer cada uno de estos tipos de modelos pedagógicos, así como sus principales características. Solo así será posible que el profesor aplique aquel que mejor se ajusta a la realidad de aula.

Crimes and homicides- a 2019 study by UNODOC

“The World Study on Homicide is a search for solutions. By gathering the available data, the Office of the United Nations against Drugs and Crime seeks to shed light on different phenomena, from the lethal gang violence and the role of firearms to links to inequalities and murder related to gender, and in this way support targeted action. I hope that the investigation and analysis contained in the study are used in this spirit, not to designate “murder capitals” but to learn, understand and strengthen prevention. Criminal activity is responsible for far more deaths around the world than armed conflict and combinations of terrorism. Unless the international community takes decisive action, the goals of the Sustainable Development Goal 16 to significantly reduce all forms of violence and rates of related mortality by 2030 will not be reached.” “The World Study on Homicide is a search for solutions.

La importancia de leer

Leer es un acto de pensamiento que implica una intensa movilización cognitiva para interpretar y construir el sentido de la lectura, en una permanente interacción entre el lector y el texto, que requiere, también, la intervención de la afectividad y las relaciones sociales.
