El 11 de marzo del 2020 la Organización Mundial de la Salud declaró pandemia a la enfermedad ocasionada por el Covid-19, la cual provoca efectos tanto en la salud física como mental de las personas infectadas por el virus, así como en el personal sanitario que las asiste. Dada la escasa disponibilidad de guías y recomendaciones elaboradas por instituciones psicológicas a nivel continental para afrontar los efectos en la salud mental, investigadores de la Sociedad Interamericana de Psicología (SIP) se propusieron el objetivo de construir una guía de recomendaciones sobre diferentes temas y problemáticas psicológicas. Para esto, se realizó una revisión sistemática de la literatura científica referida a la afectación de la salud mental provocada por este tipo de pandemia. Con base en la información recuperada y analizada de diversas bases de datos científicos (PsycInfo, Scielo, Redalyc y Dialnet), fuentes documentales procedentes de organismos nacionales e internacionales de salud mental, consulta a expertos en salud mental y diversas investigaciones científicas, se redactó un documento orientador para afrontar las consecuencias emocionales y psicosociales del Covid-19. Se espera que este aporte sea de utilidad para orientar a la ciudadanía y las prácticas profesionales de los psicólogos y psicólogas, y se constituya en una herramienta que sustente la toma de decisiones en las organizaciones psicológicas y en los organismos gubernamentales en salud pública de los diferentes países de las Américas.
This article describes the development and initial validation of a measure of middle school students’ perspectives of culturally responsive teaching practices. The Student Measure of Culturally Responsive Teaching (SMCRT) was developed by modifying items on the Culturally Responsive Teaching Self-Efficacy (CRTSE), which measures teachers’ self-efficacy beliefs regarding their culturally responsive teaching practices. Data obtained from a sample of 748 seventh-grade students (63.9% Latino/as) were used to conduct exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses that yielded three factors: Diverse Teaching Practice, Cultural Engagement, and Diverse Language Affirmation. The three-factor model was compared with two competing models, yielding a second-order factor model as the final model. Initial validity of the SMCRT was demonstrated through tests of measurement invariance across subgroups of gender, immigrants, and Latino/as versus non-Latino/as and correlational analyses with SMCRT, teacher support, and school belonging. Internal consistency was also tested using Cronbach’s alpha. Results of the data analyses suggest that SMCRT is a psychometrically sound measure of seventh-grade students’ perceptions of their teachers’ culturally responsive teaching practices.
