To this end, a spatial Bayesian VAR that follows LeSage and Cashell (2015) is applied. Results suggest a heterogeneous response of robberies across northern Border States. For instance, in some states such as Chihuahua, the number of robberies seems to deploy transitory effects, while Tamaulipas appears to be less sensitive to own and neighbor state unemployment fluctuations.","PeriodicalId":42950,"journal":{"name":"Ensayos-Revista de la Facultad de Educacion de Albacete","volume":"36 1","pages":"25-58"},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2017-04-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42634232","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

En Italia, los servicios educativos destinados a los ninos de 3 meses a 3 anos nacen durante los anos 70 gracias a la ley de 1044, que establece la guarderia.

In Italy, ECEC services for children from 3 months to 3 years of age born during the 70s, thanks to the Law n. 1044 that establishes nurseries (in Italian “ nidi d’infanzia ”). The social and economic changes of the last thirty years have increased the demand for new educational services, better and differently organized then before, in order to meet the needs of families. Therefore, it becomes evident the need for a type of Coordination that would be able, on the one hand, to promote the integration between the different ECEC services, and on the other to support educators in carrying out their tasks.

El metodo que se aplico para recoger evidencias que sustenten este ensayo fue el cualitativo mediante entrevistas realizadas a docentes de preescolar, trabajadores del MINED (Ministerio de educacion) y madres de familia, la observacion directa realizada en dos centros escolares y ademas se recurrio a la investigacion documental. Lo que se recoge de la presente investigacion es que hay una total invisibilizacion y subestimacion del trabajo docente desde las politicas educativas. La sociedad nicaraguense no reconoce la labor del docente y en especial de la educacion preescolar. En Nicaragua se puede ver que ser un profesional de la educacion no da estatus economico ni academico. Y eso trae como consecuencia el enorme atraso social y economico en que esta inmerso el pais. Para contrarrestar todo esto, el ministerio de educacion debe replantear su estructura de trabajo y en conjunto con las universidades buscar una reivindicacion de la labor docente, principalmente en la etapa preescolar. El estado debe priorizar el rubro educacion y asignarle mas presupuesto para incidir en la mejora de la calidad educativa.

That is obtained is that a total invisibility and underestimation of teaching from educational policies. Nicaraguan society does not recognize the work of the teachers especially of education in kindergarten. In Nicaragua one can see that being a professional education does not give economic status or academic. And that results in the enormous social and economic backwardness that is immersed the country. To counter this, the ministry of education must rethink its structure of work and together with universities to seek a vindication of the teaching, especially in preschool.

Four homoparental families with sons and daughters in their primary school years participate in the research. By the use of in-depth interviews, we analyze their discourses about the outlined topics.

In this frame of family education, a concern for values and preventive measures intended to counteract possible negative effects that their homosexuality may cause their sons and daughters are especially considered.
