RESUMO

Actualmente, Chile presenta niveles por sobre el promedio regional y mundial de sobrepeso y obesidad. Esta condición se distribuye desigualmente entre la población, concentrándose en mujeres (quienes lideran el ranking latinoamericano de obesidad), acrecentándose entre aquellas de bajos ingresos. Este dato corrobora que el problema nutricional excede con creces el ámbito biológico y que si se busca tener resultados positivos en la disminución del sobrepeso y obesidad, urge observar sus condicionantes socioculturales. Desde 2005 las políticas públicas han implementado medidas basadas principalmente en ofrecer recomendaciones e información nutricional a la población. A través de un estudio cualitativo- etnográfico nos interrogamos respecto al modo en que las mujeres perciben el discurso salubrista y las recomendaciones nutricionales. Confirmamos que los mensajes sobre la adecuada alimentación son recibidos y comprendidos. Sin embargo, se interiorizan como una imposición altamente restrictiva, que no se condice con sus estilos de vida, que exige implementar cambios para los que no se sienten capaces ni suficientemente respaldadas por su entorno cercano. Se concluye que es necesario reorientar los esfuerzos, desplazando el foco desde la difusión de información y la responsabilización individual, hacia la construcción de estrategias que pongan como eje central a las personas dentro de sus contextos particulares.


Currently, Chile has levels above the regional and the global average for overweight and obesity. This condition is distributed unequally among the population, concentrating among women (who lead the Latin American obesity ranking) and increasing among those with low incomes. This data verifies that the nutritional problem exceeds the biological scope, thus it is crucial to observe its sociocultural conditions. Since 2005, public policies have been implemented based mainly on offering recommendations and nutritional information to the population. Through a qualitative-ethnographic study, we inquired about the woman's perception of the health discourse and the nutritional recommendations. We confirm that messages about proper eating are received and understood. However, they are internalized as highly restrictive, incompatible with their lifestyles, and require changes that participants felt they were incapable of or sufficiently supported by their immediate environment. We concluded that it is necessary to redirect efforts, shifting the focus from the dissemination of information and individual responsibility, to the construction of strategies that place people at the center of their particular contexts.

RESUMO

El trabajo que se informa se propuso explorar las diferencias individuales en las habilidades asociadas al aprendizaje de letras en 50 niños de 5 años de edad y de nivel socioeconómico bajo. Motivó este estudio la evidencia existente acerca de las dificultades que el dominio de las letras representa para parte de los niños en contextos de pobreza. A fin de identificar las variables que diferenciaban a los niños con mayor o menor facilidad para el aprendizaje de letras, se administraron pruebas que evalúan sensibilidad fonológica, memoria visual, memoria fonológica y denominación rápida. A continuación, se llevó adelante una situación experimental de aprendizaje de letras desconocidas, a las que se asignaron pseudo -nombres elaborados en base a las características de los nombres de las letras en español. En dos sesiones se presentaron cuatro letras (dos por sesión) y se evaluó la capacidad de los niños para reconocerlas por su nombre. En función del desempeño en la situación de aprendizaje de letras se dividió al grupo en niños con alto y bajo nivel de desempeño y se comparó a los subgrupos en las restantes habilidades evaluadas. La única tarea en la que se obtuvieron diferencias significativas fue en la prueba de denominación rápida de objetos, tarea que capturaría el componente de asociación visual-verbal del aprendizaje de letras. Se analizan las implicancias educativas de estos hallazgos.


Together with phonological sensitivity, letter knowledge has been shown to be one of the best predictors of reading acquisition (Lerväg, Bratën & Hulme, 2009; Muter, Hulme, Snowling & Stevenson, 2004). But letter learning represents a considerable challenge for many children growing in poverty contexts, as evidenced by studies conducted with both selected and unselected samples of different ages (Diuk, Serrano & Ferroni, 2013; Duncan & Seymour, 2000). Even though letter knowledge has been largely attributed to experiential factors such as learning opportunities provided by a child's home or school, there is growing evidence that individual differences in several cognitive and linguistic variables are related to the ease with which children learn letter names or sounds. This paper aimed at exploring letter learning in 50 Argentine, 5-year-old children growing in poverty. Children were tested towards the end of their kindergarten year. An experimental training situation was adapted from Levin, Shatil-Carmon and Asif-Rave (2006). In this situation children were presented with unknown letters (letters from the Cyrillic alphabet). Pseudonames for these letters were created attending to the characteristics of letter names in Spanish. Training involved a card game consisting of a mixed pile of letter cards and picture cards. In each round of the game, the child uncovered one card after the other from the pile and, when a letter card turned up, he or she was asked to provide the letter's name. Children were presented with four letters, two per session. A point was awarded when the child could accurately name each letter. In order to identify cognitive and linguistic variables which might establish individual differences among children in the ease of acquiring letter names, before the training situation children were given tests evaluating phonological sensitivity (syllable and initial sound recognition), phonological memory (digit span and pseudoword repetition), visual memory and rapid naming (RAN) of objects, colors and digits. Based on the scores in the letter learning situation, two subgroups of children were established. The high- and the low - performing subgroups were then compared on the cognitive and linguistic variables previously examined. No differences between groups were obtained in either phonological sensitivity test, in phonological memory (digit span or pseudoword repetition) or visual memory. Statistically significant differences were only found in the rapid naming of objects (results from the rapid naming of colors and digits tests were excluded from analyses given that a high percentage of the sample could not name all five colors or numbers included in the task). The precise cognitive substrate tapped by rapid naming tasks has given rise to considerable debate in the field of Reading Psychology, but there is a growing consensus that these tasks probably capture the efficiency of basic neural mechanisms participating in the establishment of visual-verbal associations (Lervåg & Hulme, 2009). In terms of educational implications, rapid naming has proven to be hard to improve (de Jong & Vrielink, 2004). However, abilities strongly associated with RAN, such as reading fluency, can be enhanced through practice, even if rapid naming itself doesn't improve. RAN performance could consequently be considered an indication of the intensity of the intervention a child will need to achieve learning. Given that many low-income children have few opportunities for learning letter names and sounds in their communities, the fact that current kindergarten curricula do not include teaching letters may put many children in the situation of having to acquire alphabet knowledge in a short period of time once they enter 1st grade. Individual differences in rapid naming can thus be expected to play a role in the ease with which children learn in such a demanding context.
