Este artículo presenta el Sistema Integrado de Evaluación, Seguimiento y Estrategias de Promoción de Compromiso Estudiantil y Factores Contextuales desarrollado en Chile para su uso potencial en escuelas Iberoamericanas. El sistema web ha tenido un desarrollo incremental basado en diversos proyectos de investigación I+D y busca aportar a uno de los retos de América Latina y el Caribe señalado por organismos internacionales, como es avanzar hacia la construcción de sistemas de protección de las trayectorias escolares. Para su realización se implementó una metodología de desarrollo ágil de software que facilita el trabajo colaborativo llamada SCRUM. Entre los principales resultados se encuentra una plataforma con seis pasos que guían su implementación con recursos de apoyo gráficos y audiovisuales, cuyo potencial de uso es de alto interés para las escuelas en términos de diagnóstico, monitoreo e intervención. Dado que el concepto de compromiso escolar ha adquirido mayor relevancia producto de las consecuencias que tuvo la pandemia del COVID 19, todo el sistema fue ajustado para un contexto de clases presenciales o remotas. El desafío pendiente es la consolidación de esta plataforma en la política educativa nacional para facilitar su uso y masificación.

Métele con candela pa' que todas las gatas se muevan. Identidades de género, cuerpo y sexualidad en el reggaetón Ximena de Toro 1 ResumenEl estilo musical reggaetón, que ha superado records de venta y de adherentes en el último tiempo, es, sin duda, una expresión de los resabios del machismo latinoamericano más patentes y sorprende que en medio de los avances en materia de género su violencia pareciera pasar inadvertida. Lo anterior, tomando en cuenta los roles de la mujer, del cuerpo y de la sexualidad transmitidos en sus letras, las cuales son aprehendidas por los jóvenes, principalmente de sectores populares, donde el reggaetón, más que un estilo musical, es un modo de relacionarse entre los sexos que defi ne un estilo de vida.Palabras clave: reggaetón -juventud -género -sexualidad -cuerpo. AbstractThe musical style called reggaeton, that has surpassed sales records and followers during the last years, is undoubtedly one of the most characteristic's Latin-American sexism's traces and is quite surprising that, although advances have been achieved in gender equality, its violence seems to be unnoticed. This analysis takes into account the roles of women, the body and sexuality that are transmitted in their lyrics, which are absorbed by young men and women, mainly from popular sectors where reggaeton, beyond a music style, is a way of relating between sexes wich defi nes a life attitude.

In late 2020 and the first semester of 2021, in Santiago de Chile, five women researchers who work with qualitative methodologies, based on their reflections on how the context of the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted on their doctoral research or their role as thesis advisors, conducted a reflective exploration of the conditions and challenges for qualitative research amid a global crisis. In this context, they convene once per week to explore how other researchers conduct and document their research processes, based on a purposive and thorough bibliographic exploration of qualitative studies on the pandemic and remote methods published in qualitative research journals. During these meetings, they reflect on and analyze the impacts and challenges of research in today’s world, identifying possibilities and challenges in the methodological and ethical domains. Thus, they organize the present paper around two axes: one on the effects of the pandemic on academic and research practices, in general terms, and another on the specific methodological challenges facing qualitative research during the pandemic. These challenges are largely caused by difficulties in accessing and recruiting participants; the conditions of participation, influenced by vulnerabilities or barriers that constitute factors of inequality; the data production strategies and methodologies used in virtual contexts; ethical considerations; and the effects of the pandemic context on quality and rigor criteria. The article concludes with reflections and questions on the meanings, underlying logic, and practices of qualitative research, which are interrogated and re-signified in light of the COVID-19 pandemic while also illuminating research in post-pandemic settings.

Niños y niñas transgéneros: ¿nacidos en el cuerpo equivocado o en una sociedad equivocada?Transgender children: born in the wrong body or in the wrong society? Ximena de Toro  ResumenAlgunos niños/as tienen una identidad de género que difiere de su sexo biológico. Ellos y ellas, los niños/as transgéneros, son a menudo vistos como problemáticos dado que amenazan la construcción de género binaria predominante en la sociedad. Sin embargo, en vez de ser una amenaza, los niños/as transgéneros son parte de la diversidad humana y nos hace comprender la identidad de género como un conjunto de posibilidades. El objetivo de este ensayo fue explorar en el desarrollo de los niños transgéneros a la luz de influyentes teorías, enfatizando sus limitaciones y fortalezas, junto con reflexionar sobre algunos elementos a considerar en el espacio terapéutico con niños transgéneros en el contexto escolar. Para ello se examinó qué es lo que se conoce actualmente acerca de los niños/as transgéneros y las dificultades que ellos y ellas tienen que enfrentar en las distintas etapas de su desarrollo. Palabras claves: niños transgéneros, identidad de género, diversidad humana, terapia, escuela AbstractSome children have a gender identity that does not match their anatomical sex. Trangender children are often seen as problematic because they threaten the binary construction of gender embedded in the society. However, rather than a threat, transgender children are part of the human diversity, and make us understand that gender identity is a fluid continuum. The aim of this essay was to explore in the transgender child's development in light of relevant theories, emphasizing their limitations and assertiveness, in addition to some elements to consider when counselling transgender children in a school setting. This essay examined what is currently known about transgender children and the difficulties that they have to cope with in the different stages of their development.

This paper presents the implementation and usability of a technology-based web system and the available evidence on educational engagement’s predictive capacity to influence students’ educational trajectories in Chilean schools. The web-based system was developed through collaborative work between universities, the information technology team, school communities, and stakeholders (government institutions). It is an online system composed of six steps whose axis is centered on a decision-making space between teachers-students-parents (School Engagement Board) tasked with applying online and scientifically validated school engagement and contextual factors measurement instruments, checking specific report results for each actor involved in the system (teacher, School Engagement Board coordinator, school) as well as reviewing promotion strategies relevant to the school context and managing the implementation of strategies supported by the management datasheets that the model offers to schools. The objective of this paper is to present the usability of the system through a case study of the implementation in Chilean public schools. In order to discuss about what elements should be incorporated to adjust and improve the usability of the system and to guarantee its effective implementation, the paper describes those aspects that have favored and/or hindered the use of this educational technological platform in the Chilean case. The results show that there have been more difficulties related to management aspects than IT aspects, which indicates that these conditions are critical for implementation, even when system for evaluation, monitoring and strategies for the promotion of student engagement and contextual factors (SIESE) is designed for stand-alone use. Although there are aspects to be improved, such as extending its use to other browsers, improving the intervention guidelines and other systems functionalities, this web-based system has been considered by the educational communities as a simple, useful, and intuitive platform. The paper concludes on the importance of having this type of platform in Chile and other Latin American countries, for its contribution to school management -being helpful for day-to-day educational practice- due to the different technical facilitators.
