Background: The study of emotional intelligence (EI), demographics, and family factors of adolescent high school students allows us to appraise adolescents' skills for their academic and vocational training. The objectives of the study focus on whether there is any relationship between context variables such as gender, age of parents, or work activity, and self-perception of emotional intelligence. Methodology: This study sampled 11.370 participants, aged between 12 and 17 years, in the 7th and 9th years of fundamental education, and the 3rd year of upper secondary education. Data from this study comes from students enrolled in the SESI schools of the City of Sao Paulo. To examine the data, we applied the TMMS-24 test to statistical analysis where gender relates to the three dimensions of perceived emotional intelligence (PEI): attention, clarity, and emotional repair. Results: The results obtained allow us to show how teenagers are perceived with respect to three dimensions: attention, clarity and emotional repair, and thereby extrapolating the need to continue the promotion of emotional education in schools. Conclusions: Our findings suggest that the application of the Brazilian version of the TMMS-24 in training programs in PEI must consider a whole series of sociocultural aspects. These aspects should start with a series of initial measures that allow for the perceptions of participants to be observed, and to extend onward to influence the willingness of the beneficiaries to participate in this type of intervention. Provided the intervention is anchored in a solid theoretical base, and executed under a rigorous study, its efficacy can be verified.

Este artículo presenta una investigación cuyo objetivo es el de conocer la percepción que tiene el profesorado de la Universidad de Salamanca sobre la integración de las Tecnologías de la Información y la Comunicación (TIC) en las diferentes modalidades que emplea en su práctica docente (Proyecto de investigación subvencionado por La Junta de Castilla y León, orden EDU/1933/2008). En base a una muestra representativa por rama y categoría profesional de 161 docentes, con una metodología cuantitativa, un método no experimental y descriptivo; se muestra como los profesores emplean y compatibilizan las diferentes modalidades docentes, desarrollando metodologías de trabajo tanto autónomo como colaborativo, donde perciben a las TIC como recursos docentes parcialmente integrados. Así mismo, a pesar de la existencia de estudios previos que constatan que el género del docente y su edad son variables influyentes, los resultados obtenidos en esta investigación muestran que el género del docente y la edad son factores que no influyen significativamente en la integración de las TIC a la docencia.

Life for today’s adolescents generally involves spending a large part of their time in front of a screen, permanently connected to the internet. It is no surprise to learn that recent years have witnessed an increase in the number of studies on how adolescent identities are being affected by the phenomenon of hyperconnectivity. This article addresses the perception adolescents have of the uses and functions they encounter during the time they are online and their self-perceived risks, as well as the tools or strategies they use to tackle the threats of a hyperconnected society. This involved designing a qualitative study in which 130 adolescents took part in different focus groups. The results revealed that adolescents use technologies mainly as a means of communication and entertainment, and as they mature, they perceive greater risks associated with this use. The study also found that they deploy few tools and strategies to deal with the self-perceived risks.
