    La generación de inferencias dentro de un contexto social. Un análisis de la comprensión lectora a través de protocolos verbales y una tarea de resumen oral

    In recent years, the study of inferences has become so relevant that now is considered the core of the comprehension and interpretation of reality and, therefore, one of the cornerstones of human cognition. Given its importance in understanding processes, studies were initially focused on learning more about how they occur and what their features are, providing various taxonomies that address the number and type of inferences that take place in everyday situations. There are not, however, previous studies that analize other triggers to make inferences such as specific aims within a social context, or analyzed under the influence of a sociocultural theory. This work has three aims: analyzing the extent to which different inferential patterns are generated when the aim of the reading is telling a peer (symmetrical) or a child (asymmetric); to examine whether the type of text (narrative or expository) influences inference activation; and, thirdly, to assess whether this possible effect of reading aims (symmetrical and asymmetrical) occurs similarly on both types of tasks: using a verbal protocol and an oral summary task. Ten university students conformed the sample of this study and had to read two texts (one narrative and one expository). The results pointed out that when reading has a social and communicative purpose, as it is to have the reader explain the content of the text to an eight year old boy , there are more explanatory inferences, an accommodation with immediate language use, a greater number of paraphrases, as well as an addition of new ideas when they are asked to summarize the text. These results shed light on a subject that had never been previously researched: how communicative reading aims may have effects on the amount and type of inferences made during reading. Moreover, our purpose is also to show how certain educational implications arise from our study.

    Perfil del alumnado universitario de Educación Infantil. Un estudio descriptivo desde los inicios del Espacio Europeo de Educación Superior hasta los Estudios de Grado (2006-2010)

    Pre-primary education has undergone a significant development in Spain, where debates and administrative, educational and legislative changes have taken place. University degrees are also undergoing a process of renewal, mainly through the European convergence process, which has stimulated the development of innovation projects and the design of undergraduate studies. The aim of this study is to describe the initial profile and skills of students upon entering the University of Malaga (Spain) to study the degree of Early Childhood Education. To this end, first-year students answered surveys with questions on their expectations, skills, experience and motivation for university and Early Childhood Education as a degree and a profession. These surveys were administered in four consecutive academic years. We also explored the generational differences on the basis of the year of entry.

    (Universidad de Murcia. Servicio de Publicaciones, 2011-01-17) Córdoba Caro, Luis Gonzalo; García Preciado, Ventura; Luengo Pérez, Luis Miguel; Vizuete Carrizosa, Manuel; Feu Molina, Sebastián
    The aim of this study was to analyze the relationship of socio cultural factors on academic performance among students in Secondary Education (ESO) in the city of Badajoz (Spain). In order to do so, a total sample of 1,197 ESO students (49.9% male and 50.1% female) was taken. They participated individually and without help, and answered a questionnaire with personal and family questions which analysed some variables related to these two main topics. Moreover, the final score of all subjects studied during that school year was included. Gender, type of institution, course studied, family structure, family economic status and cultural differences are highly significant.The student profile with a high overall academic performance corresponds to students from private schools, female, from an extended family with a high cultural and economic level.

    Voluntad para estudiar, regulación del esfuerzo, gestión eficaz del tiempo y rendimiento académico en alumnos universitarios.
    (Universidad de Murcia. Servicio de Publicaciones, 2011-01-17) Broc Cavero, Miguel Ángel
    In this research study the relationship between metacognitive learning variables, volitional variables and academic achievement in third-year Psychology of Learning students were analyzed. As a starting point we took the works of Pintrich et al (1991), and McCann & Turner (2004). The variables of previous performance (grades) are the best predictors of final achievement, but if removed, metacognitive variables (Time Management and the Effort Management) and volitional strategies (Negative-Based Incentives) come into play in predicting performance. Volitional variables may be considered as latent variables with an indirect influence over the final grades, but with a direct influence over the learning strategies. Such complex relationships (LISREL) should be more thoroughly researched in the future. No statistical differences between men and women were found in any of the variables. The best variables to discriminate between groups of achievement (high, middle and low) were learning variables, such as time management, effort management and metacognitive self-regulation.
