Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ensayo del año 2004 en eltema Sociología - Cultura, tecnología, naciones, Nota: 8,50, , Materia: 2023 - 2024, Idioma: Español, Resumen: El presente ensayo académico aborda en profundidad los Estudios Sociales de la Ciencia y la Tecnología (CTS) como un campo científico extenso que incluye investigación académica, política, científica y educativa y que se ha institucionalizado en universidades, centros de altos estudios y agencias gubernamentales, especialmente en América Latina, con un enfoque crítico sobre los aspectos sociales de los fenómenos científicos y tecnológicos. El estudio destaca la importancia creciente de la relación entre ciencia, tecnología y sociedad, y la necesidad de confirmación experimental que apoye las afirmaciones de los diferentes autores. Se hace alusión al desarrollo de los estudios CTS en cuba, comprendiendo los problemas científicos y tecnológicos del mundo subdesarrollado y analizando las políticas económicas, educativas, científicas y tecnológicas. Aquí se resalta la relevancia de los CTS en la formación de expertos de diversos campos, especialmente en el ámbito de la salud, y la importancia de abordar los desafíos sociales relacionados con la ciencia y la tecnología en el marco de la revolución científica del siglo XXI. En opinión del autor, la ciencia parece encontrarse mucho más preocupada por desarrollar leyes que puedan aplicarse a través de la tecnología, constructos aplicables a la realidad social objetiva. Por otro lado, el autor advierte que actualmente el interés se está desplazando hacia la relación entre ciencia y tecnología en función de su interacción con la sociedad moderna, adquiriendo cada vez más importancia la emergente tecnología en el desarrollo y transformación social, lo que conduce a centrar la investigación en el campo o tema de la relación entre estos dos elementos y en el hecho de que ambos requieren confirmación experimental que apoye las aseveraciones de los diferentes autores. El ensayo destaca la naturaleza interdisciplinaria de los CTS, donde se encuentran disciplinas como la historia, la sociología de la ciencia y la tecnología, la filosofía, la etnología y otras ciencias sociales. En el contexto cubano, se señala que la relevancia de este enfoque se centra en la generación de puntos de vista más responsables de la actividad científica y tecnológica, desde los cuales se fomenta la crítica de concepciones, imaginarios o ideas clásicas que todavía son notorias y ampliamente aceptadas.

This book was released on 2016-03-30 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book demonstrates the social, historical, and environmental framework within which humans have developed a relationship with the forest and its resources. Starting from the biological basis that permits the existence of forests to the use of forest resources in a modern human context, this book summarizes the interaction between humans and forest ecosystems. Designed for readers from a broad range of disciplines and interests including those from environmental sciences, environmental economics, sociology, anthropology, biology, forestry and human ecology and other related disciplines, the book evokes interest in the development of an integrated approach towards forest ecosystems and natural resources in the context of sustainability.
Download or read book World Yearbook of Education 2006 written by Jenny Ozga and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-01-11 with total page 361 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume considers the ways in which educational research is being shaped by policy across the globe. Policy effects on research are increasingly influential, as policies in and beyond education drive the formation of a knowledge-based economy by supporting increased international competitiveness through more effective, evidence-based interventions in schooling, education and training systems. What consequences does this increased steering have for research in education? How do transnational agencies make their influence felt on educational research? How do national systems and traditions of educational research - and relations with policy - respond to these new pressures? What effects does it have on the quality of research and on the freedom of researchers to pursue their own agendas? The 2006 volume of the World Yearbook of Education explores these issues, focusing on three key themes: globalising policy and research in education steering education research in national contexts global-local politics of education research. The 2006 volume has a truly global reach, incorporating transnational policy perspectives from the OECD and the European Commission, alongside national cases from across the world in contrasting contexts that include North and South America, Canada, France, Singapore, China, Russia and New Zealand. The range of contributions reflect how pervasive these developments are, how much is new in this situation and to what extent evidence-based policy pressures on research in education build on past relationships between education and policy. This book considers the impact of the steering processes on the work and identities of individual researchers and considers how research can be organised to play a more active role in the politics of the knowledge economy and learning society.

Download or read book Latin America and the Caribbean LAC Report written by International Assessment of Agricultural Knowledge, Science, and Technology for Development (Project) and published by Iaastd. This book was released on 2009 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The International Assessment of Agricultural Knowledge, Science, and Technology for Development (IAASTD) looks realistically at how we could effectively use agriculture/AKST to help us meet development and sustainability goals. An unprecedented three-year collaborative effort, the IAASTD involved more than 400 authors in 110 countries and cost more than $11 million. It reports on the advances and setbacks of the past fifty years and offers options for the next fifty years. The results of the project are contained in seven reports: a Global Report, five regional Sub-Global Assessments, and a Synthesis Report. The Global Report gives the key findings of the Assessment, and the five Sub-Global Assessments address regional challenges. The volumes present options for action. All of the reports have been extensively peer-reviewed by governments and experts and all have been approved by a panel of participating governments. The Sub-Global Assessments all utilize a similar and consistent framework: examining and reporting on the impacts of AKST on hunger, poverty, nutrition, human health, and environmental/social sustainability. The five Sub-Global Assessments cover the following regions: Central and West Asia and North Africa (CWANA) East and South Asia and the Pacific (ESAP) Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) North America and Europe (NAE) Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA)

Download or read book Beyond Imported Magic written by Eden Medina and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2014-08-15 with total page 411 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Studies challenging the idea that technology and science flow only from global North to South. The essays in this volume study the creation, adaptation, and use of science and technology in Latin America. They challenge the view that scientific ideas and technology travel unchanged from the global North to the global South—the view of technology as “imported magic.” They describe not only alternate pathways for innovation, invention, and discovery but also how ideas and technologies circulate in Latin American contexts and transnationally. The contributors' explorations of these issues, and their examination of specific Latin American experiences with science and technology, offer a broader, more nuanced understanding of how science, technology, politics, and power interact in the past and present. The essays in this book use methods from history and the social sciences to investigate forms of local creation and use of technologies; the circulation of ideas, people, and artifacts in local and global networks; and hybrid technologies and forms of knowledge production. They address such topics as the work of female forensic geneticists in Colombia; the pioneering Argentinean use of fingerprinting technology in the late nineteenth century; the design, use, and meaning of the XO Laptops created and distributed by the One Laptop per Child Program; and the development of nuclear energy in Argentina, Mexico, and Chile.
