<p>Este artículo describe una experiencia educativa innovadora centrada en el tratamiento que se está dando a la formación en género en los nuevos grados de la Escuela Universitaria de Magisterio de Vitoria-Gasteiz (en adelante EUMVG). La orientación elegida para introducir la perspectiva de género responde a los resultados de una investigación previa, realizada por la entonces dirección de la EUMVG dentro de una convocatoria impulsada por el Vicerrectorado de Calidad y Mejora de la Universidad del País Vasco/Euskal Herriko Unibertsitatea (UPV/EHU) en 2009. La convocatoria recibía el nombre de Plan de implementación y Seguimiento de Acciones de Mejora (PISAM), a la que se presentaron tres acciones de mejora, recibiendo subvención la que atendía al diagnóstico de la situación de la Igualdad en dicha escuela. Gracias a esa primera aproximación, se vio la necesidad de introducir la coeducación en los nuevos planes de estudio, y se concretó en esta propuesta que se presenta a continuación, en la que se trabaja la formación en género de manera transversal, a través de trabajos modulares y mediante actividades complementarias de formación y sensibilización integradas en las asignaturas troncales de los Grados de Educación Infantil y Primaria. Este artículo recoge la experiencia acumulada durante los primeros cursos de grado. El paso siguiente sería elaborar las herramientas de investigación que permitan estudiar en qué medida se han satisfecho las insuficiencias detectadas por aquellas alumnas y alumnos que conformaron la comunidad de la que partió la necesidad de implementar las políticas de igualdad en la docencia.</p><p><strong>ABSTRACT</strong></p><p>The gender perspective in the curricula of Degree in the Teacher Training School of Vitoria-Gasteiz.</p><p>This research describes an innovative educational experience focused on the treatment given to a gender based training that is being conducted in the new degrees of the University College of Teacher Training of Vitoria-Gasteiz. The path choosen to introduce the gender perspective is based on the results of a previous research carried out by the present school management team. This research is within the Implementation and Monitoring of the Improvement Actions´ Plan (PISAM) of the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU) in 2009, which has been chosen among other projects because of its proposal about doing a diagnosis related to the gender achievements of the mentioned University College. The research underlined the need to introduce the coeducation in the new curricula, and it was specified in this proposal. This project works on gender training as a cross curricular subject, using modular assignments and complementary activities to train and raise students´ awareness that are integrated in the core subjects of the Pre-school and Primary Education Degrees. This article gathers the results obtained in the first and second curses of the grade. The next step will be to elaborate the research tools that will enable to analyse whether the needs detected by the students have been satisfied. These students formed the community who marked the beginning of this.</p>
Do young children think that plants deserve morally-based respect or, on the contrary, do they feel that respect for plant life is nothing more than another behavioural norm similar to, for instance, one that states that you should not pick your nose in public? This study examines how dilemmas involving environmental, moral and socio-conventional situations are comprehended in early childhood so as to investigate the issue of whether young children attach a significant degree of severity to transgressions against plant life in comparison with disregarding socially accepted rules. Additionally, young children’s judgements are put into perspective alongside their understanding of the concept of living things in order to shed light on the role that grasping essential biological notions might play in the emergence of young children’s assessments of actions that pose a threat to the environment. The sample of the study consists of 328 children (162 girls and 166 boys) who attend Early Years Education or Primary Education and the data examined comes from the individual interviews conducted with the children. The results are discussed in connection with the current understanding of the source of ethical judgements which emphasises the importance that emotions seem to play in the construction of moral thinking.
Previous research indicates that complex biological concepts may be successfully introduced in preschool age, provided that suitable educational interventions are designed for the initial stages of education. In this regard, there is evidence that a basic understanding of the issue of the ecological interactions among organisms may be achieved in the preschool years. With this in mind, this research project tests the assumption that recognising the fact that plants and animals are not isolated creatures, but live engaged in constant interactions in nature, may begin to be understood in early education. To that end, this study examines the content of free drawings that a sample of 328 children aged four to seven years of age, undertook when explaining their understanding of plant life. Data regarding the type and frequency of the depictions of animals found in the children's graphic explanations on flora is collected and read in conjunction with participants' gender and academic level. The results show that a substantial proportion of the children in the sample spontaneously drew illustrations of animals in their graphic explanations concerning vegetable life and, more significantly, some pictures show plants and animals engaged in clear contact. This is the case, despite the fact that the drawing activity had been focused solely on the issue of plant life and no indication linked to depicting other kinds of living things mentioned during the activity. The conclusions discuss the data collected in connection with the growing number of research projects that study the question of how young children begin to embrace the fundamental biological concepts that pave the way to the understanding of natural phenomena and make the public capable of making responsible choices when it comes to sustainability issues.
This study examines the beginning of the conceptual understanding of the first number-words and what role language can play in developing the notion of numbers. To that end, 2½-and 3½-year-old Basque and Spanish monolingual children's (N=131) basic numeracy skills are analysed by means of two different experimental procedures: Give-N (in which children are requested to gather sets of objects) and How-Many (based on the ability to count collections). The paper accounts for differences as regards the performance in the Give-N procedure between children with different linguistic backgrounds. In accordance with previous research, this finding can be related to the dissimilar ways by which languages (Basque and Spanish, in this case) express grammatical number, supporting the idea that language plays a definite role in the emergence of the earliest set-size meanings of 'one,' 'two,' and 'three' number-words. Eventually, the work attempts to contribute to the growing body of evidence that shows that the meaning of the count-list appears from mapping numerals onto numerical cognitive representations produced by early core systems of numbers.
