La educación ambiental y para el cambio climático en Latinoamérica: una revisión de alcance / Environmental and climate change education in Latin America: A scoping review

Resumen Introducción/objetivo: La educación ambiental y la educación para el cambio climático son dos iniciativas fundamentales para Latinoamérica; sin embargo, pocos trabajos han descrito a profundidad la investigación disponible en la región sobre estas. Método: Se implementó una revisión de alcance tipo Prisma de trabajos empíricos (análisis cuantitativo, cualitativo y mixto), en español, inglés o portugués, en Scielo, Redalyc y Scopus. Resultados: un total de 66 artículos conformaron la base final. En general, la educación ambiental y la educación para el cambio climático han sido abordadas interdisciplinariamente, aunque con un predominio del campo educación. Los dominios incluyen el conocimiento ambiental, actitudes proambientales, prácticas de siembra y cuidado animal. Hay reportes en todos los niveles de formación, con una mayoría en educación superior. Los efectos de las intervenciones son positivos; sin embargo, solo en una investigación se reporta el registro de seguimientos y en pocas hay registro de comportamientos. Conclusiones: las implicaciones para el diseño de actividades educativas de educación ambiental y educación para el cambio climático consisten en que estas aborden problemáticas ambientales locales, integren diferentes disciplinas, incluyan actividades de interacción con la naturaleza y duren más de un semestre lectivo.

Abstract Introduction/objective: Environmental education and climate change education are two fundamental initiatives for Latin America, however, few works have described in depth the research available in the region on them. Method: A Prisma-type scoping review of empirical papers (quantitative, qualitative and mixed analysis), in Spanish, English or Portuguese, was implemented in Scielo, Redalyc and Scopus. Results: a total of 66 articles made up the final database. In general, environmental education and climate change education have been approached interdisciplinarily, although with a predominance of the field of education. The domains include environmental knowledge, pro-environmental attitudes, planting practices and animal care. There are reports at all levels of education, with a majority in higher education. The effects of the interventions are positive; however, only one research reports a record of follow-ups and in few there is a record of behaviors. Conclusions: the implications for the design of environmental education and climate change education activities are that they should address local environmental problems, integrate different disciplines, include interaction activities with nature and last more than one school semester.

Construct Validity and Reliability of the Scale of Attitudes towards External Assessments Applied on a Large Scale / Validade de Construto e Confiabilidade da Escala de Atitudes perante as Avaliações Externas Aplicadas em Larga Escala / Validez de Constructo y Confiabilidad de la Escala de Actitudes ante las Evaluaciones Externas a Gran Escala

Abstract The Scale of Attitudes towards External Assessments applied on a Large-Scale was developed to capture what basic education teachers think, feel, and how they behave in response to this type of assessment. Considering the potential of the instrument to support management decisions in the field of educational assessment policies, this article aimed to evaluate construct validity, via factor analysis, as well as scale reliability, via composite reliability of the scale, based on its application to a sample of teachers affiliated with the Education Department of Espírito Santo/Brazil. This is a quantitative, nonexperimental, instrumental study that involved 405 teachers from the public school network, whose results indicate adequate psychometric indices and a satisfactory factor structure consistent with the proposed three-dimensional attitude construct. The statistical coefficients found at the level of the analyses performed legitimize its use for the development of public policies and effective practices in the educational field.

Teniendo en cuenta el potencial del instrumento para respaldar las decisiones gerenciales en las políticas de evaluación educativa, este artículo tuvo como objetivo evaluar la validez del constructo, mediante el análisis factorial, y la confiabilidad, mediante la fiabilidad compuesta de la escala, basándose en su aplicación a una muestra de profesores de la Red de Educación de Espírito Santo/Brasil. Se trata de un estudio cuantitativo, no experimental, de naturaleza instrumental, que involucró a 405 docentes; y los resultados indican índices psicométricos adecuados y una estructura factorial satisfactoria y coherente con la propuesta tridimensional del constructo de actitudes. Los coeficientes estadísticos encontrados a partir de los análisis realizados legitiman su uso para el desarrollo de políticas públicas y prácticas efectivas en el campo educativo.

Multivariate data analysis: Validation of an instrument for the evaluation of teaching digital competence.

Background: Technology plays a fundamental role to achieve higher education key learning objectives. Digital competence (DC) is defined as a set of skills, knowledge, abilities, and attitudes in technological aspects. It is necessary to employ an effective training action plan in higher education institutions to advance towards a level of teaching digital competence (TDC). The objective of this study was to validate the COMDID A instrument to assess Teaching Digital Competence (TDC) of active teachers, through a confirmatory factor and internal reliability analysis. Methods: The research was developed within a descriptive-correlational scope and a non-experimental-cross-sectional design to validate the dimensionality and reliability of the COMDID A instrument and evaluate the self-perceived digital competence of active teachers. The population was made up of 690 professors who were part of the teaching staff of the National University of Chimborazo, Ecuador, in the first academic period of the year 2021. The sample was probabilistic, in a simple random scheme, the percentage of potential error admitted was 3%. The representativeness of the sample was 50%, and the confidence level was 97%. A total of 511 teachers completed the questionnaire compared to the 452 individuals needed. Results: The instrument was robust, and it was reliable for the calculated sample. There were correlations between the variables, and the statistical calculation ensured the development of the multivariate analysis to validate the dimensionality of the instrument. Moreover, the correct dimensionality was determined through a confirmatory analysis and high reliability of the instrument. Conclusions: The calculated factorial scores were defined in order for further studies to be carried out. It is important to apply confirmatory factor analysis in educational technology research to validate the dimensionality of data collection instruments.

La inclusión educativa en el nivel superior: una revisión sistemática1 / Educational inclusion in higher education: a systematic review

RESUMEN En este artículo hacemos una revisión de la producción de los últimos diez años sobre la inclusión de las personas con discapacidad en la Educación Superior en México. Se utilizaron bases de datos nacionales e internacionales y privilegiamos los artículos publicados en español. Recuperamos un total de 37 textos, que organizamos en dos tendencias: los derivados de investigaciones empíricas y los análisis de políticas. Respecto a los primeros, encontramos 15 artículos, 9 referidos a estudiantes con diferentes discapacidades y 6 enfocados en un solo tipo de discapacidad. Otro tipo de trabajos, también con referente empírico, son los que abordan las ideas y actitudes de los actores educativos hacia la discapacidad, en donde identificamos 8 artículos. En cuanto a los análisis de políticas para la inclusión, encontramos 14 materiales que dividimos en tres categorías: los que examinan el impacto de las políticas federales, los análisis comparados entre instituciones y los que se enfocan en una sola institución educativa. En general, la inclusión en el nivel superior es una línea de estudio que aún está en proceso de consolidación en nuestro país. Se necesita desarrollar más investigación que vayan más allá de los estudios de caso, así como indagaciones de tipo cuantitativo que brinden un panorama más amplio sobre la situación de los estudiantes con discapacidad.

ABSTRACT In this paper, we make a review of the academic production about inclusion of people with disabilities in the Mexican Higher Education, in the last ten years. We worked with national and international databases and focused on papers published in Spanish. A total of 37 texts was gathered, which we organized in two trends: those derived from empirical research and those who made policy analysis. Regarding the former, we found 15 papers, nine referring to students with different disabilities and six focused on a single type of disability. Another kind of papers, also with empirical results, includes those that analyze the ideas and attitudes of educational subjects towards disability, where we identified eight papers. Concerning the analyses of policies for inclusion, we found 14 texts that were divided into three categories: those that examine the impact of federal policies, comparative analyses between institutions, and those that focus on a single educational institution. In general, inclusion in Higher Education is a line of study which is still in the process of consolidation in our country. It is necessary to develop more research that goes beyond case studies, as well as quantitative inquiries that provide a broader picture of the circumstances of students with disabilities.

Aproximación hacia la evaluación de la aptitud clínica en residentes de cardiología. Diseño multicéntrico / Approach to cardiology residents clinical aptitude evaluation. Multicenter design

Resumen Introducción: Hasta donde se tiene conocimiento, la investigación que se presenta constituye el primer trabajo multicéntrico en México que estudia el desarrollo de la aptitud clínica en unidades formadoras de cardiólogos. Objetivo: Determinar el grado de desarrollo de la aptitud clínica en residentes de cardiología en tres unidades médicas de alta especialidad. Métodos: Diseño transversal multicéntrico. Se analizaron todos los estudiantes del ciclo académico 2019-2020. Se construyó un instrumento que evaluó la aptitud clínica a partir de ocho indicadores y 170 ítems; la validez conceptual/de contenido y la confiabilidad fueron valoradas por cinco cardiólogos con experiencia docente y en investigación educativa. Resultados: Por indicador y año de residencia se observaron diferencias estadísticas significativas en la sede CMN20Nov; en HCSXXI e INCICh se observaron diferencias estadísticamente significativas en uno de ocho indicadores. Se estimaron diferencias entre residentes R1 (n = 41) de las tres sedes por indicador, con significación estadística en tres de ocho indicadores. El resultado fue semejante al comparar R2 (n = 35) y R3 (n = 43). Conclusiones: El grado de desarrollo de la aptitud clínica se puede considerar medio en las tres sedes académicas, probablemente debido a que el instrumento exploró situaciones clínicas problematizadas que exigieron del residente la reflexión crítica de su experiencia clínica.

Abstract Introduction: To the best of our knowledge, the research herein presented is the first multicenter study in Mexico to analyze the development of clinical aptitude in medical units that train cardiologists. Objective: To determine the degree of development of clinical aptitude in cardiology residents at three High Specialty Medical Units. Methods: Multicenter, cross-sectional design. All students of the 2019-2020 academic year were included in the study. An instrument was constructed that evaluated clinical aptitude based on eight indicators and 170 items; conceptual/content validity and reliability were assessed by five cardiologists with teaching and educational research experience. Results: By indicator and year of residence, significant statistical differences were observed in the CMN20Nov academic site. At HCSXXI and INCICh, statistically significant differences were observed in one of eight indicators. Differences between R1 residents (n = 41) of all three academic sites were estimated by indicator, with statistical significance being recorded in three of eight indicators. Between R2 (n = 35) and between R3 residents (n = 43), the result was similar. Conclusions: The degree of clinical aptitude development can be considered intermediate in all three academic sites, probably because the instrument explored problematized clinical situations that required the residents to critically reflect on their clinical experience.

Applying functional near-infrared spectroscopy and eye-tracking in a naturalistic educational environment to investigate physiological aspects that underlie the cognitive effort of children during mental rotation tests.

Spatial cognition is related to academic achievement in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) domains. Neuroimaging studies suggest that brain regions' activation might be related to the general cognitive effort while solving mental rotation tasks (MRT). In this study, we evaluate the mental effort of children performing MRT tasks by measuring brain activation and pupil dilation. We use functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) concurrently to collect brain hemodynamic responses from children's prefrontal cortex (PFC) and an Eye-tracking system to measure pupil dilation during MRT. Thirty-two healthy students aged 9-11 participated in this experiment. Behavioral measurements such as task performance on geometry problem-solving tests and MRT scores were also collected. The results were significant positive correlations between the children's MRT and geometry problem-solving test scores. There are also significant positive correlations between dorsolateral PFC (dlPFC) hemodynamic signals and visuospatial task performances (MRT and geometry problem-solving scores). Moreover, we found significant activation in the amplitude of deoxy-Hb variation on the dlPFC and that pupil diameter increased during the MRT, suggesting that both physiological responses are related to mental effort processes during the visuospatial task. Our findings indicate that children with more mental effort under the task performed better. The multimodal approach to monitoring students' mental effort can be of great interest in providing objective feedback on cognitive resource conditions and advancing our comprehension of the neural mechanisms that underlie cognitive effort. Hence, the ability to detect two distinct mental states of rest or activation of children during the MRT could eventually lead to an application for investigating the visuospatial skills of young students using naturalistic educational paradigms.

Cardiac surgical simulation program during general surgery residency increases resident physician exposure to cardiac surgery and technical expertise.

Objective: The changing surgical education landscape in surgical training pathways greatly diminished cardiac surgical knowledge, interest, and skills among general surgery trainees. To address this issue, our department developed a cardiac surgery simulation program. Methods: All simulation sessions lasted at least 2 hours and occurred during resident physician protected education time. Participants were postgraduate year 2 through 5 general surgery residents assisted by staff and led by cardiac surgery faculty. Five of the 6 sessions were porcine heart wet labs simulating coronary anastomoses, surgical aortic valve replacement, mitral valve repair and replacement, and left ventricular assist device implantation. The transcatheter aortic valve replacement session was designed as a video simulation and a manikin for wire manipulation and implantation. At the end of each lab, all participants were surveyed about their experiences. Results: An average of 10 resident physicians participated in each session (range, 8-13), for a total of 120 simulation hours. One hundred percent of residents surveyed agreed that the labs improved knowledge and understanding of the disease process, improved understanding of cardiac surgical principles, and helped acquire skills for surgical residency and treatment. Factors that residents cited for increased attendance rate included protected education time, hands-on experience, and a high faculty-to-resident ratio. Conclusions: This program successfully demonstrates that cardiac surgery training and simulation can be integrated into general surgery residency programs, despite the lack of cardiac surgery requirements. Additional metrics for future study includes technical grades on resident physicians' performance to further assess the value of this program.

Tensiones y posibilidades del investigador educativo colombiano: de la disolución mercantil a la defensa del deseo de saber / Tensions and Possibilities of the Colombian Educational Researcher: From Mercantile Dissolution to the Defense of the Desire to Know

Resumen El artículo expone elementos históricos que han incidido en la configuración de la investigación educativa en Colombia en las últimas décadas para mostrar de qué forma tal contexto ha influenciado en el investigador educativo. En primer lugar, describe vacíos presentes en los trabajos de investigación en educación. Desde allí, el análisis se centra en la universidad contemporánea y los efectos que ha tenido el capitalismo cognitivo y la mercantilización en estas instituciones que son uno de los escenarios donde se efectúa investigación educativa. En un tercer momento, muestra la incidencia de la lógica mercantil en la formación de investigadores educativos. Finalmente, el artículo propone elementos para tensionar el campo e incidir en la formación de los futuros investigadores y en las prácticas de los investigadores vigentes, de tal manera que se logre una reorientación de los parámetros que determinan al campo educativo.

Abstract The article exposes historical elements that have influenced the configuration of educational research in Colombia in recent decades to show how this context has influenced the educational researcher. In the first place, it describes gaps present in educational research works. From there, the analysis focuses on the contemporary university and the effects that cognitive capitalism and commodification have had on these institutions, which are one of the scenarios where educational research is conducted. Thirdly, it shows the incidence of mercantile logic in the training of educational researchers. Finally, the article proposes elements to stress the field and influence the training of future researchers and the practices of current researchers, so as to achieve a reorientation of the parameters, which determine the educational field.

Permanência de estudantes pobres nas universidades públicas brasileiras: uma revisão sistemática / Permanence of poor students in Brazilian public universities: a systematic review / Permanencia de estudiantes pobres en las universidades públicas brasileñas: una revisión sistemática

As políticas afirmativas através da Lei de Cotas 12.711/2012 ampliaram a democratização do acesso ao ensino superior público no Brasil, otimizando a entrada de estudantes pobres, negros, indígenas e pessoas com deficiência. Esse artigo analisa as implicações psicossociais da pobreza para a permanência estudantil nas universidades públicas. Realizou-se uma revisão sistemática a partir de 16 artigos, 22 dissertações e 10 teses nas bases de dados Scielo e BDTD (Biblioteca Digital Brasileira de Teses e Dissertações). Os trabalhos são, em sua maioria, do campo da educação (54, 16%), a abordagem qualitativa de pesquisa é predominante (58, 33 %) e os estudantes prevaleceram como participantes das investigações (52, 8%). As categorias analíticas foram construídas com o auxílio do Software Atlas Ti 5.2 e configuradas em macrocategorias: permanência material; permanência simbólica (dimensões pedagógica e cultural); estratégias de enfrentamento e vivências de opressão. A Lei de Cotas e demais políticas afirmativas possibilitaram a democratização do acesso, porém aspectos que permeiam a permanência precisam ser evidenciados em novas pesquisas. A contribuição dessa investigação consistiu em dar visibilidade aos aspectos subjetivos e psicossociais da pobreza nos trabalhos analisados.

The affirmative policies through the Law of Quota 12, 711/2012 expanded the democratization of access to public higher education in Brazil, optimizing the entry of poor, black, indigenous and disabled students. This article analyzes the psychosocial implications that poverty has in the student permanence up to the higher education conclusion in public universities. A systematic review was carried out from 16 articles, 22 dissertations and 10 theses in the databases Scielo and BDTD (Brazilian digital library of theses and dissertations). The majority of the works are in the field of education (54.16%), the qualitative approach to research is predominant (58.33%) and students prevailed as participants in the research (52.8%). The analytical categories were constructed with the aid of Atlas Ti 5.2 software and configured in macro categories: material permanence; symbolic permanence (pedagogical and cultural dimensions); coping strategies and experiences of oppression. The Quota Law and other affirmative policies have made it possible to democratize access, but aspects that permeate permanence need to be highlighted in further researches. The contribution of this research consisted in giving visibility to the subjective and psychosocial aspects of poverty in the analyzed works.

Empathy Levels of Dental Faculty and Students: A Survey Study at an Academic Dental Institution in Chile.

A successful health care provider may be described as a clinician capable of establishing a comprehensive diagnosis including identifying related risk factors. However, an equally important quality a clinician should possess is the ability to understand the experiences and feelings of others to allow better communication for better outcomes. It is likely that faculty empathy levels influence students' ability to demonstrate this attribute. The aim of this study was to assess the levels of empathy of dental faculty members relative to dental students at the Universidad San Sebastian in Chile. Using a cross-sectional design of survey-collected data collected with the Jefferson Scale of Empathy, the authors compared the perceptions of the dental faculty involved in teaching fourth- and fifth-year dental students (n=116) to the perceptions of basic and preclinical students (n=346) and clinical students (n=189). The data were collected in 2016-17. The results showed that the mean faculty scores were higher than that of the students in compassionate care (90.1%) and perspective adoption (89.7%); however, for putting oneself in the other's shoes, the faculty had a lower score (57.8%) than the clinical students (58.2%). Future investigations are needed to understand the impact of faculty empathy scores on students and whether pedagogical interventions can increase empathy scores.

A Constituição do Campo da Educação Especial Expressa na Revista Brasileira de Educação Especial - Rbee (1992-2017)1 / The Constitution of the Field of Special Education Expressed in the Brazilian Journal of Special Education - Rbee (1992-2017)

RESUMO: O objetivo do presente artigo é apresentar, analisar e discutir a constituição do campo da Educação Especial, tendo como fonte os textos publicados pelo periódico Revista Brasileira de Educação Especial - RBEE, no período de 1992 até 2017. Por meio da fonte selecionada, foi possível elaborar balanço tendencial referente aos sujeitos que produzem os discursos disseminados pelo periódico, bem como os sujeitos e as políticas que essas narrativas produzem e a forma pela qual são produzidas. Para tanto, foram selecionados, dentre o total de textos publicados, aqueles que apresentavam discussão ampla sobre a Educação Especial, por meio de três eixos de entrada: quem produziu esses artigos, o que produziram e por quais meios produziram essas narrativas. Os dados colhidos foram organizados por meio de indicadores que alimentaram o banco de dados, permitindo a elaboração de tabelas e a análise das principais tendências dessa produção desde o seu lançamento até o ano de 2017, tendo como referencial teórico os estudos de Pierre Bourdieu, especificamente as noções de campo e linguagem. Destacam-se como resultados da análise a grande incidência de produções da região Sudeste do Brasil, de autores com título de doutores inseridos no campo acadêmico vinculados à educação, culminando com a análise dos termos que designam a população atendida pela Educação Especial e que expressam a disputa pela autoridade científica desse campo de investigação.

ABSTRACT: The purpose of this paper is to present, analyze and discuss the constitution of the field of Special Education, having the texts published by the Brazilian Journal of Special Education - RBEE- from 1992 to 2017 as its source. Through this selected source, it was possible to elaborate a trend balance regarding the subjects that produce the discourses disseminated by the journal, as well as the subjects and policies that these narratives produce and the way in which they are produced. In order to do so, among the total of published texts, those which presented a broad discussion on Special Education were selected through three axes of entry: who produced the papers, what was produced and by what means these narratives were produced. The collected data were organized through indicators that fed the database allowing both the elaboration of tables and the analysis of the main trends of this production from its launch until the year 2017, having Pierre Bourdieu's studies as theoretical reference, specifically the notions of field and language. The highlighted results of this analysis are the high incidence of productions in the Southeastern region of Brazil, coming from authors with a doctorate degree in the academic field related to education, culminating with the analysis of terms that designate the population assisted by Special Education and that express the dispute over the scientific authority of this field of investigation.

RESUMEN: Este artículo se propone realizar un análisis crítico y sistemático de la producción científica acerca de los vínculos entre trabajo docente, escolarización y desigualdades sociales en el período 1985-2015 en Argentina, con el objeto de examinar los principales debates conceptuales y teórico-metodológicos, como así también sus contribuciones para las discusiones actuales en el campo de la educación. Para ello, este trabajo reconstruye tres núcleos de debate: las contribuciones de la reformulación de los abordajes estructurales y del redireccionamiento de la mirada hacia los sujetos y las instituciones escolares; las discusiones surgidas de la incorporación de preocupaciones centradas en la heterogeneidad y el dinamismo de las identidades sociales; y los debates respecto del lugar de los contextos de pobreza en las instancias de formación y trabajo docente, ligados nuevas aproximaciones a los vínculos entre docencia, escolarización y desigualdad.

RESUMO: Este artigo propõe-se a realizar uma análise crítica e sistemática da produção científica acerca dos vínculos entre trabalho docente, escolarização e desigualdades sociais no período entre 1985 e 2015, na Argentina, com o objetivo de examinar os principais debates conceituais e teórico-metodológicos, bem como suas contribuições para as discussões atuais no campo da educação. Para isso, este trabalho reconstrói três núcleos de debate: as contribuições da reformulação das abordagens estruturais e do redirecionamento do olhar para os sujeitos e as instituições escolares; as discussões surgidas a partir da incorporação de preocupações centradas na heterogeneidade e no dinamismo das identidades sociais; e os debates a respeito do lugar dos contextos de pobreza nas instâncias de formação e trabalho docente, ligados a novas aproximações dos vínculos entre docência, escolarização e desigualdade

ABTRACT: This article intends to present a critical and systematic analysis of the scientific production on the links between teaching work, schooling and social inequalities between 1985 and 2015 in Argentina, with the aim of examining the main conceptual and theoretical-methodological debates, as well as their contributions for the current discussions in the educational field. This paper will approach three cores of debate: the contributions of the reformulation of structural approaches and the reframing of the looking to the subjects and schools; the discussions from the incorporation of the questions centred in the heterogeneity and dynamism of social identities; and the debates centred on the place of contexts in the instances of teachers´ training and work, linked to new approaches to the links between teaching, schooling and inequality.

La investigación en la formación de profesionales y en el profesorado de las ciencias médicas / Research in the formation of professionals and in the medical sciences faculty

Introducción: la educación médica superior en Cuba se fundamenta en los principios de excelencia, calidad y pertinencia. Es importante y necesaria la integración docente, asistencial, investigativa y gerencial. La excelencia universitaria se basa en el proceso docente educativo y el proceso de investigación científica. Objetivo: destacar la importancia de la investigación en las ciencias de la salud y la investigación pedagógica. Métodos: se realizó una búsqueda bibliográfica a través de los descriptores de las ciencias de la salud en diferentes fuentes de información y se seleccionaron las que se consideraron más importantes. Resultados: se resalta la importancia de la investigación científica en las ciencias de la salud, la pedagógica y la superación profesoral. Se analizan dificultades con respecto al número y calidad de las investigaciones, la aplicación de los resultados, el creciente movimiento estudiantil en su participación en eventos científicos, el ascenso favorable de las investigaciones en enfermería, la participación de los profesionales docentes y no docentes en las investigaciones y el valor de colaboración científica internacional. Conclusiones: la investigación científica en las ciencias de la salud constituye un pilar importante de desarrollo. Deben generalizarse y aplicarse los resultados. Las enfermedades crónicas no transmisibles, el cáncer y la emergencia y reemergencia de enfermedades infecciosas constituyen problemas prioritarios por su morbilidad y mortalidad. La investigación pedagógica y la superación profesoral son necesarias en la calidad de la enseñanza y en la obtención de un egresado de excelencia(AU)

Investigación cualitativa y educación: / Pesquisas qualitativas e educa ção: / Qualitative research and education: tensions in its proposal, development, writing and publication

Resumen: El presente trabajo explora las tensiones en investigación cualitativa y educación. Con ese objetivo, el texto parte ofreciendo una breve introducción a la investigación cualitativa en educación, una visión del vínculo histórico de estos dos campos de estudio, para desembocar en una reflexión entre lo temático y lo metodológico cuando hablamos de investigación cualitativa en/y educación. Sobre esta base, el escrito pasa a centrarse en las tensiones que aparecen en la formulación de una propuesta, desarrollo, escritura y publicación de una investigación cualitativa en educación. Las tensiones en la propuesta se concentran en los formatos de formulación y presentación de proyectos de investigación cuando construimos el objeto de estudio desde la perspectiva cualitativa. En el desarrollo de la investigación, el tiempo aparece como una preocupación central desde diversos puntos de vista, así como la tensión entre el orden del análisis y el orden de la presentación. La escritura es abordada desde la tensión entre la opción por un texto argumentativo y un texto narrativo. Por último, las tensiones en la publicación se centran en el envío de manuscritos a revistas temáticas o revistas especializadas en metodología. Las tensiones en cada uno de estos momentos de la investigación cualitativa en educación son exploradas desde el punto de vista de las posibilidades.

Abstract: This paper explores the tensions in qualitative research and education. With this objective, it offers a brief introduction to qualitative research in education, a vision of the historical link of these two fields of study, to lead to a reflection between the thematic and the methodological when we talk about qualitative methodologies in education. Under that approach, the text focuses on the tensions that appear in the formulation of a proposal, development, writing and publication of a qualitative research in education. The tensions in the proposal are concentrated in the formats of formulation and presentation of research projects when we construct the object of study from a qualitative perspective. In the development of the research, time appears as a central concern from various points of view, as well as the tension between the order of analysis and the order of presentation. The writing is approached from the tension between the option for an argumentative text and a narrative text. Finally, the tensions in the publication focus on sending manuscripts to thematic journals or journals specialized in methodology. The tensions in each of these moments of qualitative research in education are explored from the point of view of their possibilities
