The aim of this study is to analyse the attitude of preparatory school students towards social media in&#13;
learning English in terms of different variables. In this study, the survey method, which is one of the types&#13;
of qualitative research, was used. The study group comprised 220 beginner and intermediate-level&#13;
students studying at the Preparatory School of Near East University. An attitude scale for the attitudes&#13;
towards social media in learning English, which was devised by the researchers used to collect data for&#13;
the research. Consequent to the study, it was observed that the students who took part in the study used&#13;
social media sites frequently in order to improve their foreign language by watching TV programmes,&#13;
series and videos in English language as well as to find about English words which they are not familiar&#13;
with. It was also stated that the social media application used most frequently by the students was&#13;
“Facebook”. It was finally found out that the attitude of the students towards social media in learning&#13;
English was positive and it is independent of gender, having a social media account and web page, the&#13;
frequency of using social media environments and the time spent online.; Le but de cette étude est d'analyser l'attitude des élèves des classes préparatoires envers les médias&#13;
sociaux pour apprendre l'anglais en fonction de différentes variables. Dans cette étude, la méthode&#13;
d’enquête, qui est l’un des types de recherche qualitative, a été utilisée. Le groupe d’étude comprenait 220&#13;
étudiants débutants et intermédiaires de l’école préparatoire de l’Université du Proche-Orient. Une échelle&#13;
d'attitude pour les attitudes vis-à-vis des médias sociaux dans l'apprentissage de l'anglais, qui a été&#13;
conçue par les chercheurs et utilisée pour collecter des données pour la recherche. Suite à l’étude, il a été&#13;
observé que les étudiants qui participaient à l’étude utilisaient fréquemment des sites de médias sociaux&#13;
afin d’améliorer leur langue étrangère en regardant des programmes télévisés, des séries et des vidéos en&#13;
langue anglaise, ainsi que de rechercher des mots anglais ils ne sont pas familiers avec. Il a également&#13;
été déclaré que l’application de média social utilisée le plus souvent par les étudiants était «Facebook». Il&#13;
a finalement été découvert que l’attitude des étudiants à l’égard des médias sociaux dans l’apprentissage&#13;
de l’anglais était indépendante du sexe, qu’elle disposait d’un compte et d’une page Web sur les médias&#13;
sociaux, de la fréquence d’utilisation des environnements de médias sociaux et du temps passé en ligne.

Bondía Salas, Macarena; Martínez Sánchez, Isabel; Melendro Estefanía, Miguel; Mora Rojo, Jorge
The objective of this article is to describe the process of construction and validation of a useful&#13;
and transferable tool for the assessment of the school climate, from the perspective of the students, in 2nd&#13;
and 3rd cycle of Primary Education. The construction of the instrument involved the elaboration of a&#13;
theoretical framework for the two main considered variables: Climate of general coexistence and&#13;
Satisfaction and fulfillment of expectations. Based on this, a search and analysis of existing instruments&#13;
was carried out, selecting the questionnaires of the Mexican INEE among the more than ten analyzed&#13;
models and proceeding to their adaptation and evaluation to the Spanish context. Interjudge validation is&#13;
done based on the frequency analysis of the assessment of Clarity and Coherence of each judge and&#13;
each item and the Kendall W test. The results offer a positive evaluation of the judges in Clarity, as well as&#13;
a lower presence of the maximum assessment in the Coherence aspect, in which a great homogeneity of&#13;
the judges is detected. Thus, as the W of Kendall points out, it can be said that there is agreement in the&#13;
valuation of the questionnaire items. It is concluded that the validated tool can offer significant results to&#13;
evaluate the school climate and detect which variables are influencing it. All this will serve to build&#13;
interventions that can improve it, being used in analogous contexts to the one used in its design and thus&#13;
achieving a positive impact on learning outcomes.; El objetivo de este artículo es el de describir el proceso de adaptación y validación de una&#13;
herramienta útil y transferible para la valoración del clima escolar, desde la perspectiva del alumnado, en&#13;
2º y 3º ciclo de Educación Primaria. La construcción del instrumento supuso la elaboración de un marco&#13;
teórico para las dos variables principales consideradas: Clima de convivencia general y Satisfacción y&#13;
cumplimiento de expectativas. A partir de ello, se realizó una búsqueda y análisis de instrumentos&#13;
existentes, seleccionando los cuestionarios del INEE mexicano entre los más de diez modelos analizados&#13;
y procediendo a su adaptación y evaluación al contexto español. La validación interjueces se realiza a&#13;
partir de los análisis de frecuencias de la valoración de la Claridad y la Coherencia de cada juez y de cada&#13;
ítem y la prueba W de Kendall. Los resultados ofrecen una valoración positiva de los jueces en Claridad,&#13;
así como una menor presencia de la valoración máxima en el aspecto Coherencia, en el que se detecta&#13;
una gran homogeneidad de los jueces. Así pues, como señala la W de kendall, puede decirse que hay&#13;
concordancia en la valoración de los ítems del cuestionario. Se concluye que la herramienta validada&#13;
puede ofrecer resultados significativos para evaluar el clima escolar y detectar qué variables están&#13;
influyendo sobre el mismo. Todo ello servirá para construir intervenciones que puedan mejorarlo,&#13;
utilizándolo en contextos análogos al utilizado en su diseño y consiguiendo, con ello, impactar&#13;
positivamente sobre los resultados de aprendizaje.

<summary type="text">Decolonial pedagogies, narrative research and the epistemological whereabouts of teacher education in a global south
Marta Yedaide, María; Porta Vázquez, Luis Gabriel
This article delves into the potential of decolonial pedagogies—specifically interpreted here as&#13;
simultaneously engaged in the domains of narrative research and teacher education—for the (re)&#13;
construction of epistemological and methodological practices with high performative force, i.e. productive&#13;
in the redefinition of social meanings and the redistribution of discursive legitimacy (Yedaide, 2017). It&#13;
discusses the concurrence of several perspectives which have stemmed from a particular context of&#13;
teaching and researching and seem to contribute to civic (re) empowerment as well as to enabling&#13;
conditions of greater hospitality for social life. Such viewpoints, which make complete sense only in the&#13;
blended and highly impure territory of our Global South, attempt to methodically escape from absolutes&#13;
(great or master narratives) and to appeal to emotions, feelings and aesthetics as a necessary means to&#13;
approaching any human experience. We thus commit to the discussion of a few premises—tentative, local&#13;
and contingent narratives—which have provided heuristic depth to our social and pedagogical concerns.&#13;
Hopefully, such intent will portray a willingness to move away from servile respect to modern/colonial&#13;
structures and plunge into the undefined, unstable and ever changing scenario of life experiences.; Este artículo se ocupa del potencial de las pedagogías descoloniales—específicamente interpretadas aquí&#13;
como comprometidas simultáneamente en los dominios de la investigación narrativa y la formación&#13;
docente—en la reconstrucción de prácticas epistemológicas y metodológicas con gran poder&#13;
performativo, es decir, productivas en la redefinición de sentidos sociales y la redistribución de legitimidad&#13;
discursiva (Yedaide, 2017). Se describe la conjunción de perspectivas originadas en un contexto particular&#13;
de enseñanza e investigación que parecen contribuir con el (re)empoderamiento cívico así como habilitar&#13;
condiciones para una mayor hospitalidad para la vida social. Estas perspectivas, que cobran pleno sentido&#13;
sólo en el territorio mestizo de nuestro Sur Global, intentan escapar metodológicamente de los absolutos&#13;
(grandes relatos o narrativas maestras) y recurrir a las emociones, sentimientos y estética como un modo&#13;
necesario de abordaje de la experiencia humana. Nos abocamos así al desarrollo de algunas premisas—&#13;
narrativas locales, tentativas y contingentes—que han dotado de profundidad heurística a nuestras&#13;
preocupaciones sociales y académicas. Esperamos que esta discusión refleje nuestra voluntad de&#13;
apartarnos del respeto servil a las estructuras moderno/coloniales y zambullirnos en el escenario&#13;
indefinido, inestable y siempre cambiante de las experiencias vitales.

Mafakheri, Shiva; Shahvarani-Semnani, Ahmad; Hassan Behzadi, Mohammad; Barahmand, Ali
The purpose of this study is to apply the Attribute Hierarchy Method (AHM) in the cognitive domains of&#13;
algebraic expressions to find cognitive inferences about students’ mathematical problem-solving skills. Initially,&#13;
cognitive content techniques were developed to determine the knowledge and skills needed to solve&#13;
mathematical assignments. Then, items were written specifically to assess skills in cognitive models. Finally,&#13;
confirmatory psychometric analyses were used to evaluate students' response information by estimating the&#13;
proportionality of the data model, attribute probabilities to report the diagnostic score and attribute validity. The&#13;
first domain is concerned with the cognition and diagnosis of general polynomials and algebraic expressions and&#13;
encompasses other areas. Therefore, the focus is on the precise definition of the basic concepts of the&#13;
recognition of polynomials such as the polynomials and the number of very important terms and similar&#13;
monomials and incorrect learning of algebra. Nevertheless, in the second domain, which focuses on&#13;
simplification and related concepts, less emphasis has been placed on the seventh to ninth grades. The defect in&#13;
the expression and practice of this field leads to weakness in solving and analyzing relevant mathematical&#13;
problems. The third domain is related to the second domain and directly to the first domain. Factorization and&#13;
distributive properties are often used without considering the rules of simplification by students. The weakness&#13;
associated with the second domain causes the students not to be able to easily analyze and solve the problem in&#13;
difficult polynomials in which the rules do not apply easily.; L’objectif principal de cette étude est d’appliquer la méthode de hiérarchie d'attributs dans les&#13;
domaines cognitifs d’expressions algébriques pour trouver d’inférences cognitives concernant les compétences&#13;
d’élèves en résolution de problèmes mathématiques. Initialement, des techniques de contenu cognitif ont été&#13;
développées pour déterminer les connaissances et les compétences nécessaires pour résoudre des problèmes&#13;
de mathématiques. » Ensuite, l’on a écrit d’articles spécifiquement pour évaluer les compétences en modèles&#13;
cognitifs. Enfin, des analyses psychométriques de confirmation ont été utilisées pour évaluer les informations sur&#13;
la réponse d’étudiants en estimant la proportionnalité du modèle de données, les probabilités d’attributs pour&#13;
rendre compte du résultat diagnostique et la validité d’attributs. » Le premier domaine concerne la connaissance&#13;
et le diagnostic des polynômes généraux et des termes algébriques, et comprend d'autres domaines.&#13;
Conséquemment, l’accent est mis sur la définition précise de concepts de base de la reconnaissance des&#13;
polynômes tels que les polynômes et le nombre de termes très importants et de monômes similaires et&#13;
l’apprentissage incorrect de l’algèbre. Cependant, dans le deuxième domaine, qui met l'accent sur simplification&#13;
et concepts connexes, moins d'attention a été accordée aux septième à neuvième années. Le défaut dans&#13;
l'expression et dans la pratique de ce domaine entraîne une faiblesse dans résolution et analyse de problèmes&#13;
mathématiques pertinents. Le troisième domaine est lié au deuxième domaine et directement au premier&#13;
domaine. La factorisation et les propriétés distributives sont souvent utilisées sans tenir compte des règles de&#13;
simplification appliquées par les étudiants. La faiblesse du deuxième domaine empêche les étudiants d'analyser&#13;
et de résoudre facilement le problème dans des polynômes difficiles dans lesquels les règles ne s'appliquent pas&#13;
facilement.
