Enough. Is it time for the constitution of a Latin American School of Business Taught? To found it. To have our position. What contributions has Latin America made theoretically and empirically in Business, in the academic literature of Creativity, Management, Innovation, Entrepreneurship, Family Business, Business History, and other related disciplines? Where are we positioned in the history of global research and academic debates?

In this first phase of a longer study, we identify a number of psycho-social factors which are affecting science in Spain: attitudes, stereotypes, prejudices, values, beliefs, and attribution processes. We also examine how these factors might help or hinder Spanish science's greater impact in the international scientific community. This study falls within the framework of the Social Psychology of Science, the main principle of which is to explain scientific work by appeal to psycho-social variables and processes. We use qualitative methods to analyse a wide sample of material gleaned from the Spanish scientific community, and report on those elements that construct and perpetuate the perceptions, images and representations of current Spanish science research.

Este trabajo tiene el propósito de hacer una lectura contemporánea del período fundacional de la Revista Mexicana de Ciencias Políticas y Sociales (1955-1968), como parte de un proceso de escritura de la historia de las ciencias sociales en México. El punto de partida es el cumplimiento de un ciclo conmemorativo que marca 60 años de existencia de esta publicación y su significación para nuestras comunidades disciplinarias. Se ubica la Revista en el entramado de las revistas antecesoras de principios del siglo xx, se examinan el contexto de enunciación original, las comunidades y propósitos que le dieron razón de ser a mediados de los años cincuenta, las transformaciones temáticas y contribuciones más significativas a la formación de acervos de conocimiento para las ciencias políticas y sociales en México y América Latina, así como a la consolidación institucional de estas disciplinas a nivel local en el marco de la Facultad de Ciencias Políticas y Sociales de la Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México. Cierra el trabajo un trazo general sobre sus etapas posteriores y las posibilidades cognitivas que representa su actual fase de profesionalización y especialización para el aumento potencial de la transmisión y recepción de sus contenidos en el horizonte del tercer milenio.

Este trabajo tiene por objetivo analizar el lugar que deben tener en el Acceso a la Profesión Docente (APD) dimensiones actitudinales como el compromiso y la ética profesional. Debidamente planteado, creemos que hemos de reflexionar -al menos- sobre tres grandes cuestiones: sentido y fundamentos (a modo de "background" o "rationale") que conlleva esta cuestión; su lugar -como dimensión destacable- en el Marco de Competencias Docentes; y -en tercer lugar, más ampliamente- formulamos una revisión de la propuesta de APD, que ha defendido la Conferencia de Decanos/as de las Facultades de Educación, de evaluación para la profesión docente de estas dimensiones complejas y dónde debe situarse tal evaluación (si al ingreso en el grado o, como defendemos algunos, a la salida: es decir, durante los años del grado o en el ingreso definitivo en la profesión). Estas dos últimas forman parte justo de las dos primeras propuestas de entre las 24 proposiciones del Ministerio.

Academic expectations reflected confidence in that which, according to previous experience, is considered to be more likely to occur. They are an interpretation and prediction about what will happen in Higher Education (ES) based on the experience. The confrontation with the first school semester leads, often, to a reevaluation and modification of initial expectations. This study was conducted to see whether a change in the scores of student expectations occurs, by sex, since they was first start in college until complete it the first semester. The sample consisted of 223 students from the University of Vigo, Ourense Campus, aged between 18 and 39 years (M = 19.8, Mdn = 19 ). 68% were female and 32% male. Was used for initial and semiannual measure Academic Perceptions Questionnaire (CPA). The results indicated that initially, women, scored higher than men in their expectations of training employment/career, personal and social development, student mobility, political / citizenship implication and social pressure . At the end of the first semester, that pattern was reversed, the men got higher scores on these dimensions of expectations. The results are interpreted to mean that women conform to a greater extent than men based on their expectations of university experiences in that time period, assuming a better adjustment of women students to college.

From the approach of the rational election, this work analyzes the paper that plays the polls in the electoral processes: from the theoretical plane, it finds that the repeated polling cycles will tend to take to the voters to a "Duvergerian equilibria", guiding them to coordinate itself from its initial beliefs; with empirical evidence, it shows as this effect occurs indeed during the process of Mexican presidential election 2000 and suggests possible scenes for the dispute of the federal Executive in 2006.

The sociological importance of Luhmann's work was practically unknown in Spanish until very recently. His work regarding the evolution of society springs from the idea that evolution responds to the development of differentiation procedures. Modern societies function in a differentiated manner. The differentiation makes selection possible. The distinction in this complexity is impossible to embrace, if everything were connected within the system. Therefore, the system does not have the same dimensions as the surroundings & selection takes place. A social system emerges when communication develops further communication based on the initial one. Adapted from the source document.

This article presents a structuralist model for the Peruvian economy, which seeks to capture some of its key features, such as the dependence on intermediate and capital goods, the relative rigidity of the export and agricultural supply, the existence of parastatal input producers and the possibility of financing the production through foreign debt. The model is later used to explain the long-term restrictions to growth. The author criticizes the economic policy of the Belaunde regime and presents the logic of the heterodox alternative and the reasons of its initial success and later disaster

This document is the first installment of three
texts, is reported as chair of political education,
directed the social bases and university,
implying, an initial framework for basic political
education, non-Politology and less electoral or
partisan, training needed to overcome mental
colonial structures and create autonomous political
subject capable, from a critical perspective,
to build a pluralistic and inclusive society in a
real way. In this paper we present a hypothetical
budget, decisions of national and international
political power, are not isolated from theoretical
concepts of the Social Sciences and Humanities
which are decisive in the ways of life of societies
of our time.

Scientific literature relating to the training of teachers informs us that the practicum constitutes one of the most important components of initial training in the construction of the professional knowledge of the future teacher. With this in mind, we show in this paper an interesting and novel area of research which emerges from the practicum as an essential period for developing and strengthening the knowledge, abilities, skills and other necessary aptitudes for teaching. From this new perspective, and in the pursuit of excellence in the practical training, we show the types of knowledge and professional skills that should be acquired by future teachers.

First, the author presents a brief account of the initial formation of the first generation of critical theory in Brazil. Secondly, the author pursues the following question: why critical theory in Brazil? Is there any convergence between the reception of critical theory in Brazil & the Brazilian experience? Critical theory became present in Brazil through two distinct pathways: a random influence by the diffusion of ideas, & the reflexive critical self-enlightening of the national social reality. It is argued that there should be a tension & a confluence among the social forms, among them the ideas of center & periphery. References. Adapted from the source document.

The purpose of this study is to examine the competences future teachers acquire during their pre-service training. We are interested in investigating whether there are differences between the different specializations.We also want to discover which competences are acquired during the practicum period, which are attained during the period of theoretical courses at the university, and which are the result of both. We elaborated a questionnaire called the Questionnaire on Teachers' Professional Competences (QTPC), which is the result of a literature review.We calculated the validity and reliability of this instrument.Depending on our hypotheses, we applied different statistical analyses.The results tell us that the questionnaire is reliable and valid.The findings show that the students acquire the professional aptitudes during both their university courses and their student teaching in a similar way in all the specializations. However, they also reveal that the Special Education and Primary Education specializations are the fields where the students found the most deficits in their competence. On the other hand, Early Childhood, Music and Physics Education were the specializations where the students thought of themselves as more competent. The results also showed that a large percentage, although not a majority, of the skills are acquired during student teaching.This point merits some reflection. Furthermore, there were no competences obtained exclusively during the theoretical university courses.
