On the issue of academic literacy, there is still debate about who and how to assume this task. As alternative strategies for interdisciplinary work, our interest is on the reading of specialized texts used in mother tongue language courses. The goal is to support learners interested in tools for understanding texts and the conceptual mastery of their discipline. This task requires language teachers to have a basic knowledge of the discipline. Therefore discipline teachers are expected to collaborate to provide key elements to relate reading strategies with specialized concepts of their subject in a joint effort to read to learn. This paper presents an experience to generate interdisciplinary work with discipline teachers. This reflection focuses on the documents used, aimed at designing a methodological sequence for the text, and the results of the classroom intervention.

The objective of this article was to identify if Information Technology and Communications (ICT) are integrated to student in their acquisition of knowledge at public universities in the Bajío (Mexico). A quantitative method was used and was conducted in an exploratory study with a stratified sample of 3403 students in a population of students enrolled in public universities in different degrees. Participated one University in San Luis Potosi, one in Queretaro and another in Guanajuato. The investigation revealed that even when students are digital natives the use given to the tools of Information Technology and Communications (ICT) in the Web 2.0 in education is low, they are only receivers of information but their participation in the knowledge society is scarce. This investigation allows understand the status of the use of technological tools and create strategies that enable students to have greater collaboration in knowledge and are prosumers (who produce and consume information on the web) of the information.

The aim of this research paper is to determine the different learning approaches that predominate in medical students at one university. The research has a mixed approach, a sociocritical paradigm and an observational descriptive approach. It was implemented by carrying out a pedagogic strategy based on a virtual tool which allows to increase the appropriation of knowledge. An instrument for the valuation of learning approaches R-SPQ-2F was used. Quantitative variables were analyzed in STATA 10. It was found that 45 % of the students showed a deep appropriation trend, with 30 % gaining deep memory acquisition; 15 % lack learning skills; and 10 % with a superficial, memory acquisition ability. It was concluded that the majority of students had a deep or deep/memory acquired acquisition ability and that 25% showed a superficial or memory acquired trend.

This article reports the results of a doctoral research from the interpretative approach to intercultural education and social representations obtained from the discursive material of student representatives in the city of Barranquilla, in the Atlantico region (Colombia). This research reveals the aspirational level of freedom of speech as a symbol for auto designating the youngsters. It is a mechanism able to counteract the patriarchal hetero designations existing in school leadership from inequality and male dominance. All these elements contribute to a modern cross-cultural understanding of women’s participation and their implications in school environment and public life.

According to the content view of the study, we realize it has been addressed under a critical analysis. Three educational practices of foreign language teaching (English) and scholar texts in public and private contexts in the city of Bogota were observed to see their relationship with the field of intercultural education. The theoretical approach was the critical perspective of cultural relations and pedagogy, using a qualitative research approach and an ethnographic strategy to explore the process of learning foreign languages as a symbolic space where a cultural mediation is presented. Within their results it was found that in both contexts, in the classroom and in the books, there appear to be elements such as discrimination, subordination and essentialization. However, evidence of teachers’ resistance has to be taken into consideration as well.
