In Peru, young college students have leading roles in social protest mobilizations even when they seldom belong to political organizations. This study aims to analyze the perception of current politics and its institu-tions among young college students, and to inquire into their interest on relevant events at their surround-ings and into the importance gained by the media and the social networks concerning their information. The purpose of this project is also to examine the role assigned by college students to the university as a space of personal development and reflection. This project was carried out in Lima, Peru, directed to youngsters aged 17 to 25 from public and private universities. Opinions have been collected through six focus-groups and a survey applied to more than 400 students. The analysis concludes that college students distrust pro-foundly political parties and formal political organizations, likewise it shows they have a broad access to information sources, so as their willingness to solve Peru's problematic issues. It also uncovers clear differ-ences between students of private and public universities regarding attitudes for participating in political action, inside and outside the campus. From the study stems a proposal to provide young students at their campuses with opportunities to debate public issues of national and global interest as a part of their overall academic training.
This paper explores how the college students building a political partaking identity, through their socialization during first year studies in the liberal arts area of Veracruzana State University. This socialization is condensed in the integration of different groups, which become complex and changes its shape over time. Those groups are linked through set of practice, which combine times, specific interactions and different orientations, generating a membership of school sense, when the students define it under legitimacy schemes and recognize it as a valid space from which they may join different social protest activities

El presente texto, derivado de investigación, presenta cómo, entre los cambios que han afectado a la educación Superior en las últimas décadas en el mundo occidental y por ende en América Latina, sobresale la imposición de otra lógica, propia de la empresa privada, que ha venido acompañada de la implantación de un nuevo lenguaje importado en gran medida del ámbito gerencial, esto genera unos impactos nefastos en la manera de concebir las políticas, la planeación y a la hora de definir los lineamientos mismos de la educación superior.

experiencing emotional challenges. Students face an increasingly unstable and uncertain world due to rising political discord, terrorism, tensions between world powers, and more. Additional factors are further impacting college students' emotional health. Research shows excessive engagement with digital technology –such as the high frequency of electronic messaging– negatively affects users' sense of well-being. The extreme volumes of texts and tweets sent and received prevent people from feeling "unplugged" and present during any given situation; multitasking has become the normative behavior for professionals and students alike. Over time, these stresses weaken students' cognitive, emotional, and physical health, and contribute to the record numbers of undergraduates seeking services for mental health issues. In response, many U.S. colleges are adopting pedagogical techniques that target students' mental health. Dubbed "Contemplative Pedagogy," these simple yet highly effective methods aim to decrease stress levels, improve a sense of well-being, and increase "mindfulness" so that students feel more present in the classroom and beyond. By adopting these pedagogical methods, students' emotional and cognitive development is strengthened. This paper aims to provide educators with an awareness of the rising emotional challenges experienced by college students today. This paper also provides educators with practical methods for incorporating contemplative pedagogy techniques into their classrooms for students' academic and personal success. ; En los EE. UU., los campus universitarios son testigos de un número cada vez mayor de graduados con problemas emocionales. Los estudiantes se enfrentan a un mundo cada vez más inestable e incierto debido a la creciente discordia política, el terrorismo, las tensiones entre las potencias mundiales, y más. Factores adicionales están afectando aún más la salud emocional de los estudiantes universitarios. Las investigaciones muestran que el compromiso excesivo con la tecnología digital –como la alta frecuencia de los mensajes electrónicos– afecta negativamente la sensación de bienestar de los usuarios. Los volúmenes extremos de textos y tweets enviados y recibidos evitan que la gente se sienta "desconectada" y presente durante cualquier situación dada; la multitarea se ha convertido en un comportamiento normativo, tanto para profesionales como para estudiantes. Con el tiempo, estas tensiones debilitan el pensamiento cognitivo y emocional, así como la salud física, y contribuyen al número récord de estudiantes de pregrado que buscan servicios por problemas de salud mental. En respuesta a toda esta problemática, muchas universidades de EE. UU. están adoptando técnicas pedagógicas dirigidas a la salud mental de los estudiantes. Conocida como "Pedagogía Contemplativa", estos métodos simples pero altamente efectivos apuntan a disminuir los niveles de estrés, mejorar la sensación de bienestar y aumentar la "atención plena" para que los estudiantes se sientan más presentes en el aula. Al adoptar estos métodos pedagógicos, el desarrollo emocional y cognitivo de los estudiantes se fortalece. Este documento tiene como objetivo proporcionar a los educadores una conciencia de los crecientes desafíos emocionales experimentado por estudiantes universitarios y también proporciona a los educadores métodos prácticos para incorporar técnicas de pedagogía contemplativa en sus aulas para el éxito académico y personal de los estudiantes. ; Nos Estados Unidos, os campi universitários estão testemunhando um número crescente de graduados com problemas emocionais.

91 124 13 2 ; OJS ; S. Francisco, CA: Jossey-Bass ; [EN] A new student generation, denominated generation Y emerged as a consequence of structural changes in a higher education globalization context as well as the social and technologic development. Some of the generation Y characteristics are: digital natives, the most diverse generation, at once more connected and more isolated, facing the worst economy in recent memory, more immature and dependent, with a pragmatic vision of studies and with useful searching information skills.This paper focused a comprehensive and structural vision of generation Y college students. This vision, multidimensional and multilevel, has been constructed with two types of evidence: the first one it's about some secondary evidence sources (research studies, institutional reports), with special focus on strong methodological issues; the second one is founded on primary evidence from a group of junior faculty of University of Barcelona.

To describe some of the forces and effects that the current university has to go through becomes a blueprint of new maps. Landscape that shows discomfort as well as the uprising of political and economic rationalities. It matters to explain the vocation of future in an institution of superior education each time more enterprised and committed with the learning experience. Mutations, weirdness and overpositions give shape to the place of formation and practice in university life and autoregulation of management. ; Describir algunas de las fuerzas y de los efectos que atraviesan la universidad actual supone el bosquejo de una nueva cartografía. Paisaje que muestra tanto un malestar como la emergencia de ciertas racionalidades políticas y económicas. Interesa explicar la vocación de futuro de una institución de educación superior cada vez más empresarizada y comprometida con el aprendizaje. Mutaciones, enrarecimientos y superposiciones conforman ahora el lugar de la formación y de las prácticas de autorregulación de la gestión y de la vida universitaria.
This study begins remembering the historical context in which Ignacio develops as well as his relationships with the culture and academic context. Initially, he does not raise the question of schools. It will be Laínez who decides to establish them. After the experience of the first colleges founded in India, Spain and Italy, the origin and (economical, sociological, religious and political) groundwork vicissitudes of the school from Zaragoza are analyzed. It is the most important college from the nine that were created in Aragon before the expulsion by Charles III. There were 28 colleges established in the Jesuit province of Aragon, identified with the old Crown of Aragon. ; Se inicia este estudio recordando el contexto histórico en el que Ignacio se mueve y sus relaciones con el mundo de la cultura y el universitario que inicialmente le llevan a no plantear la cuestión de los colegios. Será Laínez quien decida ponerlos en marcha. Tras la experiencia de los primeros implantados en India, España e Italia se analiza el origen y vicisitudes fundacionales (económicas, sociológicas, religiosas y políticas) del colegio de Zaragoza, el más importante de los nueve que existieron en Aragón propiamente dicho antes de la expulsión de Carlos III, si bien eran 28 los establecidos en la entonces provincia jesuítica de Aragón, identificada de hecho con la antigua Corona de Aragón.
Dos son las reformas universitarias que influyeron en el desarrollo y continuidad de la Universidad de Alcalá, en general, y del Colegio de las Santas Justa y Rufina o de los Sevillanos, en particular. La primera de ellas es las que realizó el visitador García de Medrano entre 1663 y 1666, que supuso la reorganización de sus colegios menores, su patrimonio y sus constituciones. Esta reforma no afectó al Colegio de las Santas Justa y Rufina o de los Sevillanos. La segunda fue la de Pedro Díaz de Rojas, en 1775, dentro de la reforma de las Universidades en España y sus colonias que el rey Carlos III puso en marcha. Para la Universidad de Alcalá esta reforma supuso el inicio de su declive y desaparición. Las causas del declive de la universidad hispana recayeron, según los pensadores ilustrados, en la Compañía de Jesús por intentar controlarla educación en todos sus niveles y en la propia institución colegial que representaba un espíritu corporativista para repartirse los puestos de gobierno y administración, tanto civil como eclesiástica. En 1842 sus colegios fueron cerrados y sus bienes fueron traspasados a la Universidad Central de Madrid. ; There were two main university reforms that influenced on the development and continuity of the University of Alcala (in general) and of the College of Saints Justa and Rufina also known as the College of the Sevillians (in particular). The first reform was made by Garcia Medrano between 1663 and 1666, which led to the reorganization of smaller schools, its assets and its policies.This reform did not affect the College of Saints Justa and Rufina (the College of the Sevillian). The second reform was made by Pedro Díaz de Rojas in 1775, and was part of the university reform that King Carlos III began in Spain and its colonies. For University of Alcala this reform marked the beginning of its decline and disappearance. According to Enlightenment thinkers, the causes that led to the decline of this Hispanic university fell upon the Society of Jesus (Compañía de Jesús) for trying to control all levels of education and in particular for the corporatist spirit of its own collegial institution that distributed government and management positions alike, both civil and ecclesiastical. In 1842 their schools were closed and their assets were transferred to the Central University of Madrid.
University libraries are institutions that store, manage and disseminate useful information for the fundamental tasks of universities: teaching, research and fostering relations with the communities through outreach activities; this way, they permanently generates new knowledge, training technologically up-to-dated professional with social sensitivity, thus contributing of culture and the transmission of democratic values to the communities where they are located.The project of constructing a building for a university library requires setting up a working team to implement the project and, especially, developing that will point the way, as well as one or more individuals who are known as makers, who commit themselves and fight to attain the objectives. In this document, we highlight the work done in two university libraries that, due to their architectural characteristics, the value of their collections and the efficiency of their services are an example of what university libraries should be in a high-tech world. ; Las bibliotecas universitarias son instituciones que guardan, administran y difunden información útil para las labores fundamentales de las universidades: la docencia, la investigación y la relación con las comunidades a través de la extensión.

En el Perú, los jóvenes universitarios son protagonistas de movilizaciones de protesta social aun cuando es escasa su pertenencia a organizaciones políticas. Esta investigación tiene como objetivos analizar la percepción que tienen los jóvenes universitarios limeños sobre la política y sus instituciones e indagar acerca de su interés por los sucesos relevantes de su entorno y la importancia que adquieren los medios de comunicación y las redes digitales para su información. El trabajo también se propuso examinar el rol que los universitarios le asignan a la universidad como espacio de formación y reflexión. El estudio se realiza en Lima, Perú, con jóvenes de 17 a 25 años, de universidades públicas y privadas. Las opiniones se recogen en seis grupos focales y una encuesta aplicada a más de 400 estudiantes. El análisis concluye que los universitarios desconfían profundamente de los partidos políticos y las organizaciones políticas formales; asimismo, se evidencia que gozan de amplio acceso a fuentes de información y están dispuestos a contribuir a la solución de los problemas que aquejan a su país. El estudio desvela diferencias marcadas entre estudiantes de universidades públicas y privadas en su disposición para participar en actividades políticas, dentro y fuera del ámbito universitario.
