    Análisis del uso de estrategias de recuperación de la información por alumnos con alta capacidad intelectual (9-14 años) en función del género, edad, nivel educativo y creatividad
    (Universidad de Murcia. Servicio de Publicaciones, 2013-01-07) Marugan de Miguelsanz, Montserrat; Carbonero Martín, Miguel Ángel; León, Benito; Galán, Manue
    In this paper the relation between high intellectual capabilities and information retrieval strategies are studied. The variables are: sex, age, educational level and creativity. Strategies were measured with the ACRA Scales (Román and Gallego, 1994, 2004). General intelligence was measured with the "g" Factor Test (Cattell and Cattell, 1990) and the Progressive Matrices Test (Raven, 1996). Creativity was analyzed using the TAEC Abreaction Test (de la Torre, 1991). Primary School and Compulsory Secondary Education students (aged 9-14) from Castilla y León (Spain) were chosen because of their high intellectual capability. Results show a significant association between general intelligence and information retrieval strategies. Age determines to some extent the use of strategies. The relation between a high intellectual capability and creativity only promotes the use of Written Answer strategies. A revision of evaluations of perceived use versus evaluations of real use of strategies is proposed.

    Las competencias emocionales en el ámbito afectivo-sexual de los adolescentes autóctonos e inmigrantes
    (Universidad de Murcia. Servicio de Publicaciones, 2013-01-07) Soriano Ayala, Encarnación; González Jiménez, Antonio José
    Part of adolescence develops during secondary education years, which is an ideal time to work on emotional relation by means of various emotional competences. This study was carried out on Spanish and immigrant adolescents, and aims to identify emotional competences adolescents use to solve conflicts that may arise in their affective-sexual relations, so that guidelines for educational intervention in multicultural schools may be suggested. The approach undertaken was focused ethnography. The sample comprised 80 adolescents of eight nationalities. Data were collected by means of semi-structured interviews. A set of categories was identified for the analysis of data. Two key findings were: 1) culture influences affective-sexual relations and the construction of emotional competences, and 2) the fact that classrooms are multicultural is positive because it facilitates educational intervention in emotional competences in the affective-sexual field.

    This paper aims to analyze the use of language learning strategies in foreign language learning by graduate students. Two main objectives of this study are: 1) to analyze the use of the categories of language learning strategies in studying a foreign language, and 2) to determine the use of specific strategies which make up category. The results reveal that students tend to use Metacognitive and Affective strategies. Learners use the rest of language learning strategy categories following this order: Compensation, Cognitive, Social and Memorization.

    Are discourse comprehension and cognitive processes influenced by the type of language language (English and Spanish)? A cross-language study based on elaborative inferences generation
    (Universidad de Murcia. Servicio de Publicaciones, 2013-01-07) Escudero Domínguez, Inmaculada; León, José A.; Morera, Yurena
    El objetivo de este trabajo es determinar si los procesos de comprensión del discurso, en especial los diversos tipos de inferencias que se activan durante la lectura, están o no influidos por la lengua materna (inglés vs. español), tal y como apuntan algunas teorías sobre el relativismo lingüístico. En este estudio, consistente en una tarea de pensamiento en voz alta, participaron 20 estudiantes universitarios norteamericanos y 20 españoles. Los resultados obtenidos sugieren que la activación de inferencias no está restringida a las diferencias idiomáticas. Por el contrario, los datos apoyan la idea de que la activación de inferencias refleja un patrón universal en los procesos cognitivos.

    School Leadership in a Contradictory World
    (Universidad de Murcia. Servicio de Publicaciones, 2013-01-07) Moos, Lejf
    The article captures important trends and tendencies in public governance and thus in conditions for school leadership. The general movement towards Globalization influences the core trends in national policies and in public governance. But international discourses and practices are formed in national or regional contexts of culture, practice and politics. The author is part of a Nordic context and therefore he observes governance and leadership from this point. But it is possible to translate the analyses to other contexts as well. An analyse of some of the effects of the meetings of transnational influences with national values and practises are discussed in the case of Danish education and school leadership. School leaders are left with a number of dilemmas between traditional, welfare state values and neo-liberal values. They have to find locally satisfying balances between academic proficiencies and competences of curiosity and deliberation.
