ABSTRACT
Analizamos las transformaciones en los valores y prácticas educativas, y algunas condiciones que median, en un grupo de 15 familias latinoamericanas residentes en Barcelona (España). Realizamos entrevistas en profundidad con las figuras parentales, generalmente las madres, y entrevistas semiestructuradas con algunos de sus hijos e hijas. Los hallazgos destacan tanto la persistencia de las familias en socializar a sus hijos e hijas de acuerdo con valores de las tradiciones culturales de sus países de origen, como la necesidad de negociar nuevos significados y comportamientos e incorporar nuevas estrategias y prácticas. La composición familiar, la escolarización de los padres y madres, las redes con que cuentan, la inserción laboral, median en la adaptación de las familias a los cambios contextuales y culturales que afectan la socialización de sus hijos e hijas.
This study analyses changes in values and educational practices as well as some conditions that mediate these practices among a group of 15 Latin American families residing in Barcelona (Spain). In-depth interviews were conducted with parental figures, mostly mothers, and semi-structured interviews with some of their children. The findings highlight both the persistence of families in instilling values from the cultural traditions of their countries of origin and the need to negotiate new meanings and behaviors and incorporate new strategies and practices. Family composition, parents education, available networks and job inclusion all play a role in the adaptation of families to the contextual and cultural changes that affect the socialization of their children.
A pesquisa analisa as transformações nos valores e nas práticas educativas e as condições que permeiam um grupo de 15 famílias latino-americanas residentes em Barcelona (Espanha). Foram realizadas entrevistas em profundidade com os pais, geralmente com as mães, e entrevistas semiestruturadas com alguns de seus filhos e filhas. Os resultados encontrados destacam tanto a persistência das famílias em socializar os seus filhos e filhas de acordo com os valores associados às tradições culturais de seus países de origem, como a necessidade de negociar novos significados e comportamentos e de incorporar novas estratégias e ações. A composição familiar, o nível de escolarização dos pais e das mães, as redes com as quais a família pode contar, a inserção no mercado de trabalho, influenciam na adaptação das famílias às mudanças contextuais e culturais que afetam a socialização de seus filhos e filhas.

SpainABSTRACT
The Korean medical establishment has traditionally shown little concern for formal training in medical ethics; only recently have courses in medical ethics been included in the curricula of Korea's medical schools. The importance and effectiveness of such courses is still a matter of some debate. This study attempted to measure the effects of a course in medical ethics on senior medical students. For this study, a discussion based course was designed, which made considerable use of video-taped ethical situations. Students were requested to answer a series of ethics related questions both before and after taking the course. Prior to taking the course, students indicated that treatment refusal, abortion, sex pre-selection, and euthanasia are the most important ethical issues in contemporary medical practice in Korea. However, after taking the course, students modified this list slightly by replacing the issue of euthanasia with that of equal access to health care resources. No significant changes were observed in students' value systems. The students' response to the course was favorable.
