Book Description
Con el fin de estudiar la incidencia de la aplicación de un taller de producción de textos en alumnos con discapacidad intelectual leve y moderada, se recurre al diseño pre-experimental de un solo grupo, con pretest, intervención pedagógica y postest en una muestra de 9 escolares, de 13 a 16 años, de una escuela especial de la ciudad de Los Ángeles, durante el primer semestre del 2009. Se evaluó la calidad de los textos producidos con una pauta ad hoc y la comprensión de lectura con instrumentos con validez de constructo en el contexto cognitivo constructivista. Durante el desarrollo del taller se implementaron en forma integrada, estrategias vivenciales y motivadoras. El análisis de los datos con la prueba t de Student permite concluir que tanto los escolares leves como los moderados incrementan significativamente la calidad de los textos y también la comprensión de textos. El hecho de saber que los textos creados en el taller de Producción de Textos se incluirían en una antología, mantuvo el interés de los escolares en los textos aun cuando algunos eran analfabetos. El aspecto menos desarrollado en producción de textos fue la cohesión, especialmente el uso adecuado de los conectores, aspecto que requiere más tiempo y de actividades específicas para esta muestra; y en comprensión los aspectos más desarrollados fueron la comprensión a nivel explícito/local. Los aspectos menos desarrollados fueron la comprensión global e inferencial.

Book Description
La presente investigación está orientada a determinar las funciones cognitivas que trabajan y potencian los docentes de Educación General Básica y Educación Diferencial en alumnos con Discapacidad Intelectual que se encuentran en escuelas regulares con programas de integración, utilizando la literatura infantil como herramienta. Esta investigación corresponde a un estudio de tipo cualitativo. Para la recopilación de datos se utilizaron entrevistas semi-estructuradas a dos profesores de Educación General Básica y dos profesores de Educación Diferencial destinadas para determinar y evidenciar si éstos potencian las Funciones Cognitivas utilizando la Literatura Infantil. Además fueron aplicadas Pruebas de Comprensión Lectora y Producción de Textos (CL-PT) a dos cuartos años básicos, siendo estos cursos de dos establecimientos de diferentes comunas las cuales son Mulchén y Los Ángeles. Las Pruebas de Comprensión Lectora y Producción de Textos (CL-PT) categorizan las dimensiones que intervienen en la comprensión de un texto por parte de un lector en dos aspectos principales: 1) Las estructuras cognitivas del lector, referidas a los procesos básicos \U+2013\percepción, atención y memoria-; sus conocimientos sobre el lenguaje y sus configuraciones culturales; y las estructuras afectivas, referidas a sus actitudes, intereses y propósitos para leer; y 2) los procesos que ocurren antes, durante y después de la lectura, los cuales implican acciones de tipo cultural, comprensivas e instrumentales (Medina & Gajardo, 2009). Los resultados obtenidos de la aplicación de esta prueba a los estudiantes serán confrontados a los análisis de las entrevistas, para determinar si los docentes trabajan y potencian funciones cognitivas utilizando la literatura infantil como herramienta.

Book Description
This is the first book on the acquisition of Spanish that provides a state-of-the-art comprehensive overview of Spanish morphosyntactic development in monolingual and bilingual situations. Its content is organized around key grammatical themes that form the empirical base of research in generative grammar: nominal and verbal inflectional morphology, subject and object pronouns, complex structures involving movement (topicalizations, questions, relative clauses), and aspects of verb meaning that have consequences for syntax. The book argues that Universal Grammar constrains all instances of language acquisition and that there is a fundamental continuity between monolingual, bilingual, child and adult early grammatical systems. While stressing their similarities with respect to linguistic representations and processes, the book also considers important differences between these three acquisition situations with respect to the outcome of acquisition. It is also shown that many linguistic properties of Spanish are acquired earlier than in English and other languages. This book is a must read for those interested in the acquisition of Spanish from different theoretical perspectives as well as those working on the acquisition of other languages in different contexts.

Book Description
UCLA School of Medicine, Los Angeles Aimed at helping readers improve the accuracy of their survey, Litwin′s book guides in assessing and interpreting the quality of their survey data by thoroughly examining the survey instrument used. The book also explains how to code and pilot test new and established surveys. In addition, it covers such issues as how to measure reliability (e.g., test-retest, alternate-form, internal consistency, inter-observer, and intra-observer reliability), how to measure validity (including content, criterion, and construct validity), how to address cross-cultural issues in survey research, and how to scale and score a survey. "I found this work to be of very high quality with respect to both content and writing. It is commendable in terms of communicating and facilitating understanding of sometimes difficult concepts. It will make an excellent text for my introductory course on survey research and, I imagine, for many similar or related courses in the social sciences or education. All the pedagogical features, including the exercises, are excellent, and the level of writing throughout not only is appropriate for an introductory volume, but also engaging and lively." --Daniel U. Levine, Department of Education, University of Nebraska

Book Description
How do biological and environmental factors influence the development of childhood and adolescent disorders? There has been a substantial increase of interest in research into child and adolescent psychopathology. In this book, Cecilia Essau brings together contributions from the UK, the US and Canada to provide a comprehensive summary of the information available on the subject. Beginning with an introduction to general issues related to child and adolescent psychopathology, including theoretical models of normal and abnormal development, each chapter goes on to address the issues associated with specific disorders, such as: oppositional defiant disorder and conduct disorder attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder eating disorders substance use disorders somatoform disorders. The contributors present a thorough overview of each disorder, including discussion of definition and classification, epidemiology, risk factors, comorbidity, course, outcome and prevention. Child & Adolescent Psychopathology will be welcomed by all mental health professionals seeking a reliable source of scientifically and clinically relevant information on the nature and treatment of child and adolescent disorders.

Book Description
Plant genomics aims to sequence, characterize, and study the genetic compositions, structures, organizations, functions, and interactions/networks of an entire plant genome. Its development and advances are tightly interconnected with proteomics, metabolomics, metagenomics, transgenomics, genomic selection, bioinformatics, epigenomics, phenomics, system biology, modern instrumentation, and robotics sciences. Plant genomics has significantly advanced over the past three decades in the land of inexpensive, high-throughput sequencing technologies and fully sequenced over 100 plant genomes. These advances have broad implications in every aspect of plant biology and breeding, powered with novel genomic selection and manipulation tools while generating many grand challenges and tasks ahead. This Plant genomics provides some updated discussions on current advances, challenges, and future perspectives of plant genome studies and applications.
