ABSTRACT

Two hundred fifty-four intermediate-grade teachers (88% female) in urban public schools in Chile indicated how frequently they made writing instructional adaptations for their weakest writers, which included students with learning and other disabilities. A majority of teachers reported making the following adaptations for their weakest writers at least once a week: individual tutoring, assistance from a peer when writing, and extra instruction in grammar/spelling, planning/revising, handwriting, sentence construction, and text structure. On a monthly basis or more often, a majority of teachers reported they provided weaker writers with choice about writing assignments, the opportunity to complete an alternative writing assignment, and extra writing instruction via computer technology. How often an adaptation was applied did not differ by grade. The perceived adequacy of teacher undergraduate preparation to teach writing, their efficacy to teach writing, and the proportion of students with disability in their classes each made a unique and statistically significant contribution to predicting how frequently teachers applied adaptations for their weakest writers. The Chilean teachers in this study reportedly made adaptations for weaker writers in their class more often than teachers in studies conducted in other countries, including the United States.

ABSTRACT

La osteoporosis es una enfermedad ósea degenerativa que puede causar invalidez a la personas de la tercera edad, bajo ese contexto nace este proyecto de investigación, intentando buscar los factores de riesgo y factores protectores de la enfermedad en épocas tempranas de la vida, con el fin de poder prevenir a partir de esta edad, como requisito sine qua non para tener huesos sanos en el futuro, y así disminuir las tasas de morbilidad de osteoporosis. Frente al siguiente problema: ¿Cuáles son los factores de riesgo y factores protectores de los adolescentes de cuarto medio en relación con osteoporosis?. Se plantearon diferentes objetivos a seguir: A) describir características de la población de estudio, tales como edad, sexo, antecedentes familiares, escolaridad de los padres, comuna en que vive, antecedentes mórbidos del adolescente. B) identificar factores de riesgo y factores protectores de osteoporosis tales como: fumar, beber alcohol, realizar actividad física, consumo de café, consumo de leche, conocimientos, mitos. C) identificar fuentes de información que poseen los adolescentes en relación con osteoporosis. Para ello se creo una encuesta focalizada, aplicándose a 42 adolescentes de cuarto medio del colegio Chilean Eagles College de la Comuna de la Florida, el 14 de Mayo de 1999. Se concluye, que los factores de riesgo para la formación de osteoporosis en el adolescente en estudio son: el hábito de fumar, beber alcohol, y el consumo de café. Los factores protectores de osteoporosis en el adolescente en estudio son: el desarrollo de actividad física, el consumo de leche, y el conocimiento del concepto de osteoporosis
