Researchers in many fields, especially those engaged in the study of gender-based violence, have shown an interest in using mixed designs as innovative methodological procedures to transform social realities. In this article, we introduce the ''communicative evaluation of social impact'' as a methodological tool to reveal the social impact achieved by a multiphase mixed methods design conducted sequentially on gender-based violence in Spanish universities. This tool shows the transformative power of mixed methods with a communicative orientation to generate new legislation, create proper conditions for reporting abuse, and establish new solidarity dynamics with and among the victims to promote violence-free universities. Keywords mixed methods, communicative evaluation of social impact, gender-based violenceGender-based violence is a global public concern. The 2013 United Nations Women's Conference focused on eliminating and preventing all forms of violence against women and girls as part of its efforts to agree on a strategy to overcome all types of discrimination and violence against women of different ages, contexts, and economic and social backgrounds (United Nations, 2013). Gender discrimination is a historical fact that must be addressed in all kinds of institutions across the globe, including universities (Reda & Hamdan, 2015). Violence is particularly prevalent in institutions where hierarchical power relations remain predominant (Connell, 1987). As an institution built on power relations, the academy is a prime environment for gender-based violence (Farley, 1978). In academia, violence varies widely by type, victim profile, and the context in which it occurs (Copenhaver & Grauerholz, 1991;Gross, Winslett, Roberts, & Gohm, 2006;Kalof, 1993;Kusakabe & Pearson, 2016). The United States was one of the first countries to analyze and address the issue of gender-based violence in universities (Kirkpatrick & Kanin, 1957), as evidenced by the Campus Security Act of 1990 and the Student Right-To-Know Act 1 (Renzetti & Edleson, 2008). Although much research has been conducted on gender-based violence in universities, scant attention has been paid to the methodological dimension of this issue. Traditionally, studies on this topic have been conducted using either quantitative or qualitative methods. However, research based on a mixed methods design has grown in popularity over the last several years, along with an appreciation of the implications of this design for the field of gender-based violence (Campbell, Patterson, & Bybee, 2011;Dardis, Kelley, Edwards, & Gidycz, 2013;Jackson, 1999;Mahlstedt & Keeny, 1993;Testa, Livingston, & Vanzile-Tamsen, 2011). Many of these studies have to some extent helped change the institutional, political, and legal landscapes of gender-based violence in universities. However, the path for this change has not always been easy to find. In this article, we present the possibility of shedding light on the political and social implications of the first research conducted on gend...
La experiencia que compartimos, la Tertulia Pedagógica Dialógica (TPD) en las prácticas de la formación inicial de maestros y maestras, se implementa en dos centros, ambos CAES en el curso 2013-2014. Y lo hacemos porque es una acción educativa de éxito ligada al aprendizaje dialógico, a una relación sujeto-sujeto entre la profesora y el estudiantado. Porque las interacciones que se producen favorecen la creación intersubjetiva del conocimiento, un aprendizaje reflexivo desde un cuestionamiento crítico de la realidad. Porque nuestra experiencia vital es reconocida y valorada por nuestros y nuestras iguales en la TPD y esa diversidad nos enriquece a todos y a todas. Porque mediante el diálogo igualitario aprendemos a escuchar y a respetar al otro-a, a cuestionarnos nuestras prácticas desde la reflexión colectiva; aprendemos a generar alternativas educativas igualitarias y transformadoras. Porque aprendemos que el compromiso es vital si defendemos una formación ligada a la ciudadanía crítica y, consecuentemente, es necesaria la coherencia entre nuestra teoría y nuestra práctica. Porque desarrollamos una lectura crítica y dialógica que nos ayuda a argumentar desde argumentos de razón y no de poder. Porque aprendemos que las inlecturas no son buenas para nadie. Y porque nos enraíza en la utopía.
ResumenEste artículo expone parte de los resultados de la primera investigación sobre violencia de género en las universidades españolas 1 . A partir de la revisión de investigaciones internacionales, mostramos que la violencia de género tiene una presencia importante en las universidades. Posteriormente, identificamos medidas para la prevención y superación de la violencia de género que ya se están desarrollando en algunas de las universidades de más prestigio internacional. Ambos aspectos son el punto de partida para el estudio de la violencia de género en las universidades españolas y para el diseño de medidas que contribuyan a su superación.
<p>Los informes sobre hábitos de lectura señalan que, a partir de segundo de la ESO, se produce una deserción de la lectura. La razón es que desde el sistema educativo no se ha conseguido una educación literaria que les incite, desde el placer, a continuar leyendo. Una parte de este mismo estudiantado será el que, posteriormente, se convertirá en estudiantado de la titulación de Maestro-a. La necesidad de una DLIJ que atienda a las evidencias que nos aporta la investigación es muy importante para conocer el estado de la cuestión y poder avanzar, es decir, debemos atender a los resultados de las investigaciones que en los últimos catorce años nos indican, en el contexto de la universidad española, que cuando ingresan en la Universidad no son lectores y lectoras expertos. Igualmente importante es implementar una DLIJ que incluya aquellas teorías y prácticas que producen transformación en el estudiantado favoreciendo la educación literaria en su formación como maestras y maestros. La asignatura de LIJ puede convertirse en la palanca de transformación identitaria literaria del estudiantado, (re)construida, como señala Duszynski (2016) desde su propia historia de lectora y lector.</p>
Some feminist discourses blame some men for gender inequality, gender domination, and gender-based violence. Some women use such discourse as a perfect scenario to criticize some men’s behavior. Indeed, they usually do so with Oppressed Traditional Masculinities (OTM) but not with Dominant Traditional Masculinities (DTM), who are the men who were violent with those women and with whom some of those women chose to have relationships. However, there have always been men who have been on the side of women and have never committed violence against them. Therefore, New Alternative Masculinities (NAM) reject being indicated as guilty of the violence committed against women by DTM. Through a communicative approach, applying six semi-structured interviews with a communicative orientation and a communicative data analysis of all information, this article explores both women’s communicative acts that blame OTM for what DTM have done to women and NAM’s reactions to these accusations to stop such blaming to make it possible to overcome hegemonic discourses.
