Se presenta un diálogo entre la perspectiva motivacional y socio-cultural vinculada a una intervención colaborativa en una escuela pública de Montevideo (Uruguay). Participaron 22 escolares, su maestra y la directora del centro. Se obtuvo información proveniente de diferentes fuentes, la Escala de Orientación Intrínseca vs. Extrínseca en el Salón de Clases, las observaciones participantes de las actividades con los niños y niñas, las entrevistas con maestra y directora. Posteriormente se desarrollaron estrategias de abordaje específicas para fortalecer la motivación intrínseca de aquellos niños y niñas motivados extrínsecamente. La comparación grupal antes y después, constató un cambio de la orientación intrínseca a la extrínseca en todas las dimensiones motivacionales. Sin embargo, se observó un incremento significativo de la motivación intrínseca en los niños y niñas que participaron de la intervención específicamente en la dimensión Curiosidad. Estos resultados son alentadores para pensar en propuestas que integren una perspectiva motivacional.
The present study relates university students cognitive styles with their university profile. A total of 311 students either beginning or ending their career at the faculties of Engineering and Psychology from Universidad de la República (Uruguay) participated. The Embedded Figures Test (EFT) was collectively applied to them, thus identifying their degree of field dependence and field independence. Results show significant differences between Engineering and Psychology students towards their cognitive styles. In Engineering students the independence field cognitive style prevails, and this increases in those students who are finishing their career. In Psychology students there are no significant differences in their cognitive styles regarding those who are either beginning or ending their career, and field dependence prevails in all of them.
