Exposure to employment training and guidance among university students Sánchez Bolívar, Lionel; Martínez Martínez, Asunción; González Valero, Gabriel; Zurita Ortega, Félix; Ortega Martín, José Luis For students in Ceuta transitioning to working life, it is essential to establish optimal educa tional and professional itineraries to meet the needs of their geopolitically transnational context and their vulnerable situation. The objective of this study is to describe the univer sity profile of students studying for degrees in Ceuta and their experience of training and vocational guidance courses. The study uses a descriptive and cross-sectional design. A total of 210 students studying for different undergraduate degrees in Ceuta were selected through stratified random sampling, with the aim of determining which student profiles have experi ence of training and vocational guidance, and to develop a regression model for this purpose. To collect data, a questionnaire was developed to assess student experiences of training and career guidance courses. The results reveal that students taking degrees in Education report more experience of training and career guidance courses than those studying for Nursing or Business Administration and Management. Likewise, the regression model proved to be valid, predicting 87.1% of cases and explaining between 0.480 and 0.645 of the dependent vari able, showing that students with a tendency to take training and career guidance courses are those enrolled in the first years of their degrees and coming from a Baccalaureate background.; Per a la transició a la vida activa de l’estudiant universitari de Ceuta es fa imprescindible establir itineraris educatius i professionals òptims per donar resposta al context geopolític transnacional i, per tant, al seu entorn vulnerable. Aquest estudi té com a objectiu descriu re el perfil universitari dels graus ceutís i la relació que s’estableix amb l’adhesió de l’alumnat a matèries de formació i orientació laboral. En aquest estudi, amb un disseny descriptiu i de tall transversal, van participar-hi 210 estudiants matriculats en els diferents graus uni versitaris de Ceuta, que es van seleccionar mitjançant un mostratge aleatori estratificat. La finalitat era determinar quin perfil d’estudiant tendeix a crear-se en matèria de formació i orientació laboral i per fer-ho es va establir un model de regressió. Per a la recollida de dades es va elaborar un qüestionari per avaluar l’adherència de l’alumnat a matèries de formació i orientació laboral. Els resultats revelen que els estudiants de titulacions educatives mani festen una adhesió més gran que els procedents d’Infermeria o Administració i Direcció d’Empreses. Així mateix, el model de regressió va resultar ser vàlid i va mostrar que l’alum nat amb tendència a adherir-se a matèries de formació i orientació laboral és el matriculat als primers cursos de les titulacions i prové d’un itinerari de Batxillerat.; Para la transición a la vida activa del estudiante universitario de Ceuta se hace imprescindi ble establecer itinerarios educativos y profesionales óptimos para dar respuesta a su contex to geopolítico transnacional y, por ende, a su entorno vulnerable. Este estudio tiene como objetivo describir el perfil universitario de los grados ceutís y la relación que se establece con la adhesión del alumnado a materias de formación y orientación laboral. En este estudio, con un diseño descriptivo y de corte transversal, participaron 210 estudiantes matriculados en los diferentes grados universitarios de Ceuta, que se seleccionaron mediante un muestreo aleatorio estratificado. La finalidad era determinar qué perfil de estudiante tiende a crearse en materia de formación y orientación laboral y para ello se estableció un modelo de regre sión. Para la recogida de datos se elaboró un cuestionario para evaluar la adherencia del alumnado a materias de formación y orientación laboral. Los resultados revelan que los estudiantes de titulaciones educativas manifiestan una mayor adhesión que los procedentes de Enfermería o Administración y Dirección de Empresas. Asimismo, el modelo de regresión resultó ser válido y mostró que el alumnado con tendencia a adherirse a materias de forma ción y orientación laboral es el matriculado en los primeros cursos de las titulaciones y pro viene de un itinerario de Bachillerato.

A Comparison of Algorithms to Achieve the Maximum Entropy in the Theory of Evidence Abellán Mulero, Joaquín; López Gay, Aina; A. Benítez, Maria Isabel; García Castellano, Francisco Javier Within the framework of evidence theory, maximum entropy is regarded as a measure of total uncertainty that satisfies a comprehensive set of mathematical properties and behavioral requirements. However, its practical applicability is severely questioned due to the high computational complexity of its calculation, which involves the manipulation of the power set of the frame of discernment. In the literature, attempts have been made to reduce this complexity by restricting the computation to singleton elements, leading to a formulation based on reachable probability intervals. Although this approach relies on a less specific representation of evidential information, it has been shown to provide an equivalent maximum entropy value under certain conditions. In this paper, we present an experimental comparative study of two algorithms for calculating maximum entropy in evidence theory: the classical algorithm, which operates directly on belief functions, and an alternative algorithm based on reachable probability intervals. Through numerical experiments, we demonstrate that the differences between these approaches are less pronounced than previously suggested in the literature. Depending on the type of information representations to which it is applied, the original algorithm based on belief functions can be more efficient than the one using the reachable probability interval approach. This is an interesting result, and a reason for choosing one algorithm over the other depending on the situation.

A Scientometric Study of Doctoral Theses on the Roma in the Iberian Peninsula During the 1977-2018 Period Salgado-Orellana, Norma; Berrocal De Luna, Emilio; Gutiérrez Braojos, Calixto This study corresponds to a scientometric analysis of doctoral theses defended in Spain and Portugal during the 1977-2018 period related to the Roma. The search of doctoral theses has been carried out within the main databases and repositories of Higher Education institutions, of which 237 doctoral theses have been registered for the study period. Different scientific indicators have been considered, related to diachronic productivity, directors, institutions, citation and content; and the Bibliometrix R package has been used as an analysis tool in both scientometrics and bibliometrics. The findings highlight a growth in productivity of doctoral theses, a production characterized by directors and occasional universities and a social network constituted by the most productive directors in doctoral theses on the Roma.; Este estudio corresponde a un análisis cienciométrico de tesis doctorales defendidas en España y Portugal durante el periodo 1977-2018 relacionadas con la población gitana.

La Formación Profesional Dual en los centros educativos andaluces desde la perspectiva del profesorado Poza Vilches, María De Fátima; Pozo Llorente, María Teresa; Aguayo Moral, José Manuel A pesar de la creciente presencia de la Formación Profesional Dual (FPD) en el sistema educativo español y de los esfuerzos realizados desde distintos organismos por impulsarla, son muchas las voces que alertan de que el proceso de puesta en marcha de esta modalidad formativa no se está haciendo como debiera, lo que dificulta su éxito. El apoyo de las administraciones, su financiación y normativa, la pertinencia de la oferta, el papel de las empresas, el reconocimiento al profesorado o la coordinación centro-empresa son algunos de los aspectos que están detrás de las controversias que desde el principio han acompañado a esta modalidad formativa. El propósito de este estudio es caracterizar este debate en el escenario educativo andaluz a partir de la opinión de sus protagonistas diarios, el profesorado implicado, y de las prácticas que se desarrollan en los centros andaluces. Se explora en qué medida el género, la experiencia en formación dual y la participación en gestión pueden estar condicionando esta opinión. Los docentes encuestados han sido 1.445, de los 2.164 implicados en FPD en el curso 2019-20. El cuestionario utilizado ha sido diseñado ad hoc y la opinión recogida se ha estructurado en torno a cinco dimensiones relacionadas con los tópicos de los debates nacionales. Los análisis realizados destacan que las prácticas desarrolladas en los centros andaluces relacionadas con la gestión administrativa de la dual y con el profesorado y la acción tutorial son las que más favorecen la implantación de la FPD en Andalucía y las relacionadas con el modelo de gobernanza, la organización académica y el papel de la empresa son las que presentan margen de mejora. Las profesoras, el profesorado implicado en gestión y el que tiene gran experiencia en el sistema dual son los que mejor valoran este sistema.; Despite the increasing presence of Dual Vocational Education and Training in the Spanish education system and the great efforts made by different bodies to promote this training pathway, many concerns have been raised that perhaps its launch is not being conducted correctly, which may hinder its success. The support of the different levels of government, funding and regulations, the pertinence of the training offered, the role of the companies, the recognition of teachers, and company-school coordination are some of the issues around which controversies have arisen since this training model was first implemented. The purpose of this study is to characterize how this debate is playing out in the Andalusian education system, based on the opinion of its day-to-day protagonists ‒the teachers involved‒ and on the practices taking place in Andalusian schools. The paper explores to what extent the teachers’ gender, their experience in dual training and their degree of involvement in administrative coordination activities may be conditioning these opinions. A total of 1,445 teachers took part in the study, out of the 2,164 teachers involved in dual training programmes in the 2019-20 academic year. The questionnaire was designed ad hoc and the questions were structured around five dimensions related to issues present in national debates. The analyses performed indicate that the practices most contribute to the successful implementation of this training model in Andalusian educational institutions are those related to the administrative coordination of dual training programmes and those related to teachers and guidance services. The practices related to the governance model, academic organisation and the role of the company are those that show the most room for improvement. Female teachers, teaching staff who are involved in management and teaching staff with greater experience in the dual system are those that rate the system most highly.

Leisure as a protective factor. Perception of young adults of the city of Melill Díaz-Esterri, Jorge; Sevillano-Monje, Verónica; Poza Vilches, María De Fátima; Valenzuela, Rafael Leisure is a potential protective factor against risks such as social exclusion or drug and alcohol consumption. The aim of this article is identifying the relevance of the management of leisure activities as a protective factor against these risks. In this exploratory diagnostic study, 80 semi-structured interviews were conducted with young people between 18 and 35 years of age from Melilla. A large majority of the participants considered that leisure acts as a protective factor against drug consumption and exclusion and it is an essential component in the configuration of the social network. Despite this, the local leisure offerings were valued negatively. These results show that young adults of Melilla recognize and demand valuable leisure offerings that enable them to face pressing problems such as the consumption of drugs and social exclusion. This is not only supported by their demands but also by various proposals that they raise.
