Book Description
En esta tesis se aborda la evaluación del impacto de las bibliotecas en su dimensión educativa, utilizando la norma ISO 16439 sobre impacto bibliotecario como marco conceptual y guía metodológica. Se desarrolla una investigación sobre el impacto de las bibliotecas escolares empleando un enfoque metodológico que integra una doble visión cuantitativa y cualitativa. Como objetivo general, se pretende evaluar la contribución de las bibliotecas escolares al sistema educativo en España. Se analizan tres niveles de impacto: 1) impacto sobre los individuos (se incluye el efecto sobre las habilidades y competencias, sobre las actitudes y comportamientos, sobre el bienestar individual, y sobre la carrera académica y profesional a medio y largo plazo); 2) impacto sobre la comunidad o institución de la que depende la biblioteca; y 3) impacto sobre el conjunto de la sociedad. Para explicar estos tres niveles de impacto, se plantean once preguntas de investigación. Para la realización de la investigación cuantitativa se emplean los conjuntos de datos de los estudios internacionales PIRLS 2016 (para el alumnado de educación primaria) y PISA 2009 (para el alumnado de educación secundaria), seleccionando los datos correspondientes a España. Para la realización de la investigación cualitativa se emplea un estudio de caso centrado en la biblioteca del CEIP Virrey Morcillo (Villarrobledo, Albacete), integrada en una red cooperativa de bibliotecas escolares, el Grupo Cooperativo Bibliotecas Escolares en Red – BERED- de Albacete. Los datos corroboran que la biblioteca escolar contribuye a mejorar la competencia lectora general del alumnado y las distintas dimensiones de esta competencia, especialmente la informacional. El recurso más valorado es la colección bibliográfica, combinada con el trabajo por proyectos e integrada en las actividades formativas y de animación a la lectura programadas desde un plan de lectura. La biblioteca escolar contribuye a producir cambios de carácter intangible en las actitudes y en el comportamiento, especialmente sobre la motivación de alumnado y profesorado, y favorece la implicación de las familias en el proceso de aprendizaje. El alumnado interioriza valores y normas de convivencia y refuerza su sentido de pertenencia; se refuerza la formación del profesorado y se da visibilidad a la labor docente. Respecto a la influencia de la biblioteca sobre la institución de la que depende, contribuye a que se cumplan los fines y objetivos educativos, en torno a tres ejes principales: 1) apoya los objetivos de enseñanza y aprendizaje, incluyendo el refuerzo curricular y la implantación de nuevas metodologías de trabajo y aprendizaje con el uso de las nuevas tecnologías; 2) refuerza la cohesión entre los miembros de la comunidad educativa en torno a los objetivos y proyectos comunes, potenciando valores comunitarios y de convivencia y actuando como un compensador de desigualdades; y 3) contribuye a establecer redes de cooperación. Respecto de la influencia de la biblioteca escolar sobre su entorno social próximo, se observa la colaboración con otras entidades educativas y culturales en redes de cooperación. Descripción / Resumen (Inglés): This research deals with the school libraries impact evaluation, by adopting the international standard on library impact ISO 16439 as a conceptual framework and methodological guide. The main objective of this research is to evaluate the contribution of school libraries to the educational system in Spain, by combining both quantitative and qualitative methodological approaches. According to ISO 16439, three areas of library impact are analysed: 1) impact on individuals {including changes in skills and competences, changes in attitudes and behaviour, higher success in study or career and individual well-being); 2) impact on the library’s institution or community; and 3) impact on society. Firstly, we used the Spanish datasets released from the PISA 2009 and PIRLS 2016 international studies to perform the quantitative analysis. Then, average results on reading literacy of two different groups were compared: pupils that have access to library resources and use them, and those pupils that don’t have access to library resources or, even if they could, they hardly use them. Secondly, a case study which is focused on a Spanish school library is performed. The school library from the Virrey Morcillo Primary School {Villarrobledo, Albacete, Spain) forms part of a school library network: the Grupo Cooperativo Bibliotecas Escolares en Red – BERED- {Albacete). The results confirm that school library is perceived as an efficient resource which contributes to improve reading literacy skills, especially those informational skills. Also, it is perceived to foster related competencies, i.e., critical thinking, creativity, digital skills and communicative and linguistic skills. The quality of library collection is the most valued library resource, when it is used in specific projects and when formative and reading promotion activities are planned. Also, the school library encourages changes in attitudes and behaviour. It is perceived to foster pupils and teacher’s motivation. Moreover, it is considered to encourage the family’s involvement in pupils’ learning process. Pupils learn values and behavioural rules and strengthen their sense of belonging towards their school. Also, it is perceived to give visibility to educational work. As for the impact on the library’s institution or community, it is perceived to contribute to the achievement of educational goals and objectives: 1) it gives support to learning and teaching objectives, including curricular enhancement, learning and teaching methodologies and working with new technological resources; 2) it fosters cohesion among all learning community members and helps equity; 3) it helps create cooperative alliances and networks. Concerning the impact on the society, it is perceived that the school library collaborates with other learning and cultural entities for cooperation projects.

Tal y como hoy en día se pone de relieve de forma cada vez más creciente, el Derecho, y concretamente la regulación adecuada y de calidad, puede ser un elemento que permita e incentive la innovación en la sociedad o, por el contrario, la dificulte y la desincentive. La innovación es clave para la competitividad y el crecimiento económico de los países, tanto en los niveles micro como macro.

Book Description
Behavior analysis, a rapidly growing profession, began with the use and application of conditioning and learning techniques to modify the behavior of children or adults presenting severe management problems, often because of developmental disabilities. Now behavior analysts work in a variety of settings, from clinics and schools to workplaces. Especially since their practice often involves aversive stimuli or punishment, they confront many special ethical challenges. Recently, the Behavior Analysis Certification Board codified a set of ten fundamental ethical guidelines to be followed by all behavior analysts and understood by all students and trainees seeking certification. This book shows readers how to follow the BACB guidelines in action. The authors first describe core ethical principles and then explain each guideline in detail, in easily comprehensible, everyday language. The text is richly illuminated by more than a hundred vivid case scenarios about which the authors pose, and later answer questions for readers. Useful appendices include the BACB Guidelines, an index to them, practice scenarios, and suggested further reading. Practitioners, instructors, supervisors, students, and trainees alike will welcome this invaluable new aid to professional development.

Book Description
While debate continues in the fields of the sciences and humanities as to the nature of consciousness and the location of consciousness in the brain or as a field phenomenon, in the Vedic tradition, consciousness has been understood and continues to be articulated as an infinite field of intelligence at the basis of all forms of existence. This infinite field of intelligence is accessible to human awareness, being the very nature of the mind and the structuring dynamics of the physiology--from the DNA, to the cell, tissues, organs, and to the whole body and its sophisticated functioning. This two-part volume, The Big Fish: Consciousness as Structure, Body and Space, considers in Part One the Vedic approach to consciousness, specifically referencing Maharishi Vedic Science, and discusses themes pertinent to the arts, including perception and cognition, memory as awareness, history and culture, artistic performance and social responsibility, observatory instruments as spaces and structures to enhance consciousness, and, beyond metaphor, architectural sites as multi-layered enclosures of the brain detailed in the Shrimad Devi Bhagavatam and, as cosmic habitat or Vastu aligned to the celestial bodies. Presenting some more general consciousness-based readings, Part Two includes essays by various authors on Agnes Martin and her views on art, perfection and the "Classic", unified field based education and freedom of expression versus censorship in art, prints from the Renaissance to the contemporary era as allegories of consciousness, the work of Australian artist Michael Kane Taylor as beyond a modern / postmodern dichotomy, the photographic series The Ocean of Beauty by Mark Paul Petrick referencing the Vedic text the Saundarya-Lahari, a Deleuzian analysis of the dual-screen multi-arts work Reverie I, and an account of the making of Reverie II, a single-screen video projection inspired by the idea of dynamics of awareness. This book, therefore, presents a broad range of interests and reading while offering a unique, yet profoundly transformative perspective on consciousness.
