Early Intervention, Regular Education, and Family: Reciprocal Influences on Communication and Language Disorders.

Families are the primary caregivers and the main source of support for their children. Family resilience involves coping and adapting to stressful situations. This study explored the impact of previous treatment experience on parental resilience, in families, as well as the relationship between family history of communication and language disorders and parental stress. These variables were assessed through the Resilience Scale and the Parental Stress Index in parents of 220 children aged 3 to 6 years attending mainstream schools and early intervention (EI) centers in Caceres (Spain). The results revealed significant differences in resilience between parents who had received previous treatments and those who had not (p = 0.11). Furthermore, a significant association was found between having no family history of communication and language disorders and the Dysfunctional Parent-Child Interaction subscale from the Parental Stress Index (U = -2.079, p = 0.038). These findings highlight the relevance of previous experience in EI to build family resilience as resilient parents are more likely to be actively involved in their children's education and create a supportive environment. Thus, promoting resilience in educational settings may have positive effects on children's and families' quality of life during the EI process.

The Well-Being of the Elderly: Memory and Aging.

The world population increases every day as a consequence of the increase in life expectancy and longevity of humans. There are several factors analyzed in the different studies that have been developed on this topic. The research carried out in this field distinguishes biological, cultural, and cognitive factors; some of them describing similar results, while many others showed antagonistic results. Our study was oriented to the accomplishment of a bibliographical revision with the objective to verify the scientific production on "memory, cognitive development, and aging linked with longevity"-international/ national studies were analyzed and identified. The method carried out was through a research in the databases: SciELO, UAM, PePSIC, LILACS, PubMed, PsycINFO, Dialnet, and Teseo; in a period of 10 years, considering the studies published between January 2008 and December 2017. From the results found at first, 16 articles were analyzed after the application of the exclusion criteria. Likewise, we analyzed the relationship of longevity with the level of studies in Spain from a group of people over 60 years of age counted in January 2017. The literature review determined that there are psycho-cultural aspects that have a decisive influence on the increase in longevity, such as the performance of activities with positive mental states, positive emotions and experiences, and the level of studies.

Exploring Teachers' Satisfaction and Students' Entrepreneurial Competencies in Four Entrepreneurial Programs Carried Out in Extremadura (Spain) Schools.

The question of whether the entrepreneur is born or made, forces us to respond that the entrepreneurial culture clearly breaks with the myth that entrepreneurs are born. Currently, it is considered that entrepreneurial skills can be acquired like any other discipline and that is why it should be taught (Timmons, 2003). Their teaching and learning are key to the well-being of the teacher and to the positive achievement of the students. The entrepreneurial culture is an educational objective of developed societies and has its origin in the business culture (Peña Calvo et al., 2015). There are two current models, American and European (Erkkilä, 2000). The one that develops in the Extremadura region (Spain), based on the European model, tries to create a vital state in the participating students that enhances competences such as creativity, personal initiative or self-confidence, elements that try to generate a true motivation to undertake. The motivated, accomplished and positive teacher contributes to that achievement and achieving it favors the well-being of teachers. It's a round trip. It is a "do ut des." In our research, we evaluated four entrepreneurial culture programs in the classroom: "Junioremprende," "Teenemprende," "Experemprende," and "Youthemprende." The teachers involved in the programs are 356, and the valid questionnaires are 154. The students enrolled in the programs are 4800, and the questionnaires valid 1198. In the questionnaire, one of the key questions is "general teacher satisfaction," with 17 common questions for all the programs. An essential question posed is: "I am satisfied with the achievements obtained by my students to participate in the program" The results of our research, according to a seven-point Likert scale, gives a very high degree of teachers' satisfaction. Their satisfaction was centered on the perception of their teachings are conducive to the achievement of his students. The degree of teacher satisfaction for each of the programs and significantly means differences were found with Junior program resulted the more satisfied for teachers. For students, participation in the programs resulted in high development of entrepreneurial competencies. Similarly to teachers results, Junior program was found more significant in developing students' entrepreneurial competencies indicating that entrepreneurial education is very appropriate for children. Findings of this study suggest that entrepreneurial education should be encouraged for students at every stage of education.

Factores mediadores en el aprendizaje cooperativo: los estilos de conducta interpersonal / Mediational factors in cooperative learning: the skills of interpersonal behaviour

La mayoría de las investigaciones sobre el aprendizaje cooperativo se han centrado por un lado, en la comparación de situaciones cooperativas, competitivas e individualistas, y por otro lado en las aplicaciones del aprendizaje cooperativo sobre variables académicas y sociales. En los años noventa aparecen, por primera vez, y en minoría, investigaciones que se dirigen principalmente a resolver las cuestiones relativas a la eficacia del aprendizaje cooperativo y los factores implicados. Este trabajo se enmarca dentro de esta última posición y pretende ofrecer una pequeña aportación a esta línea de investigación emergente. Sin embargo, dentro de este grupo de investigaciones, echamos de menos trabajos que demuestren la influencia de variables interpersonales en los resultados del aprendizaje cooperativo. Consideramos relevante el carácter de los participantes: introvertido, extrovertido, independiente, gregario, tímido, etc. Pensamos que estas dimensiones interpersonales pueden ser predictoras del éxito y fracaso de las situaciones de aprendizaje cooperativo, además de ayudarnos a comprender comportamientos individuales e interacciones dentro del grupo. Con nuestra investigación pretendemos encontrar relaciones entre estas variables interpersonales con los roles desempeñados en el grupo, las conductas verbales manifestadas a lo largo de la interacción, el rendimiento y la percepción individual de la madurez grupal (AU)
