Instituto de Ciencias de la Educación

El Instituto de Ciencias de la Educación (ICEd) de la Universidad de O’Higgins es un espacio de investigación multidisciplinario dedicado al ámbito de la Educación. La misión del ICEd es contribuir al mejoramiento de la Educación tanto en la Región de O’Higgins como a nivel nacional e internacional, aportando al desarrollo de la calidad de la educación y, en especial, a la solución de problemas de la realidad educativa.

Quienes trabajan en pos de esta misión son investigadores e investigadoras provenientes de áreas diversas como Pedagogía, Lingüística, Literatura, Matemática y Sociología. Los miembros del ICEd cuentan con experiencia en colaboración interdisciplinaria para el desarrollo de investigación educativa, siendo éste un sello distintivo de la investigación que se desarrolla en el Instituto.

Áreas de Investigación

Esta área concentra investigación cuyo foco es la educación de niñas y niños en etapa inicial, considerando diversos factores familiares y socioculturales. Especial relevancia tiene el enfoque de derechos para la primera infancia, el aprendizaje a través del juego, los entornos de crianza y los procesos de socialización.

Esta área tiene como foco de investigación las políticas públicas y educativas considerando tanto las distintas etapas de su ciclo (diseño, implementación y evaluación), como la institucionalidad, representaciones y apropiaciones de dichas políticas por parte de los actores en el sistema educativo. A su vez, se consideran los distintos ámbitos educativos dentro y fuera del sistema educativo formal así como la educación inicial, escolar y superior. Un objetivo central del área es la producción de conocimiento basado en la evidencia que contribuya a la calidad, a la justicia educativa y a la cohesión social.

Políticas públicas y educación

Esta área busca indagar en las prácticas, dinámicas y procesos sociales y culturales que se desarrollan en contextos educativos. Estos fenómenos son abordados con enfoque crítico,  considerando las perspectivas de diversos actores sociales: niños, niñas, jóvenes, educadores/as y docentes en formación y en ejercicio, familias y directivos, entre otros.

Esta área realiza investigación y desarrollo tecnológico relacionados con fenómenos propios de la enseñanza, el aprendizaje y la evaluación desde perspectivas emocionales, cognitivas, socioafectivas, socioculturales y creativas. Para ello se vincula con actores clave de diversas comunidades de aprendizaje y utiliza múltiples metodologías, tales como observación e intervención dentro y fuera del aula, modelización cuantitativa, estudios de casos, análisis y desarrollo de materiales didácticos, y metodologías visuales participativas, entre otras.

Esta área genera investigación y desarrollo sobre procesos y características de la formación inicial, el trabajo y el desarrollo profesional del profesorado. Su misión incluye aportar al desarrollo de las políticas y los dispositivos de formación inicial y continua. Se consideran temáticas como la contribución y el estado de la formación a los futuros profesores, conocimiento profesional y creencias, dominio afectivo, interacciones dentro y fuera del aula e identidad docente, entre otras. Esta área utiliza múltiples metodologías, tales como análisis documental, observaciones de clases, club de video, modelización estadística, investigación basada en el diseño, self-study, entre otras.

Language and interculturality: An examination of mediated practices in the conceptualization and implementation of interculturality in the Spanish, Ancestral Languages, and English as a foreign language school subjects

[vc_section el_class="container mx-auto align-items-center circle--pattern" css=".vc_custom_1648956589196{padding-top: 3rem !important;}"][vc_row el_class="pb-5"][vc_column][vc_wp_custommenu nav_menu="6"][uoh_breadcrumb_component automatic_breadcrumb="true"][uoh_title_component title_dropdown="big" title_decorator="true"]{{title}}[/uoh_title_component][vc_column_text css=""]The rapid increase in immigration and the presence of different Indigenous peoples in the country have resulted in culturally diverse classrooms in Chile. Cultural differences are significant for communication (Otten & Geppert, 2009) and teaching processes (Liddicoat & Scarino, 2013). Hence, intercultural interactions correspond to embodied culture discourses (Carbaugh, 2017; Shi-xu, 2023), which entail the communication practices that take place at institutional levels (i.e., top-down) and language classrooms (i.e., bottom-up). However, some tensions have been identified in these processes, particularly because they seem to maintain cultural and linguistic hierarchies that do not necessarily promote the social mobility or acceptance of minoritized groups (Flores & Rosa, 2015; Unamuno, 2016; Zavala, 2017). Against this backdrop, discursive practices are at the core of how these raciolinguistic hierarchies are maintained, negotiated, and/or challenged by educational communities. Consequently, the main objective of this research proposal is to examine how language and interculturality are discursively conceptualized and implemented in culturally diverse Chilean schools, specifically within three language subjects: Spanish, Ancestral Languages, and English as a Foreign Language. This objective is articulated through the following research question: How are language and interculturality discursively conceptualized and implemented in culturally diverse Chilean schools across the subjects of Spanish, Ancestral Languages, and English as a Foreign Language? To address this question, the project outlines four specific objectives (SOs): SO1) To examine how interculturality is discursively constructed in educational policies and the national curriculum on language subjects (i.e., Spanish, Ancestral Languages, and English as a Foreign Language); SO2) To assess how language teachers understand and implement intercultural practices in Chile, highlighting areas of convergence and divergence; SO3) To analyze how school communities discursively construct interculturality on their schoolscapes; and SO4) To analyze how language teachers’ actions and decisions address interculturality in the language classroom. The proposed research is a mixed-methods study (Creswell & Plano, 2018). First, we will analyze a corpus of institutional pedagogical discourses to examine how interculturality is discursively constructed in educational policies and the national curriculum (SO1). To this end, the data will be examined from a Corpus-Assisted Approach to Discourse Studies (CADS) (Partington et al., 2013) following the guidelines proposed by Jaworska and Kinloch (2018, p. 116) for a thorough and systematic examination of multiple datasets in CADS. The first quantitative stage considers the analysis of frequency, concordance lines, collocations, and keywords. The second qualitative stage is informed by Bacchi's (2012) model, What's the Problem Represented to be? (or WPR) and the Discourse-Historical Approach (Reisigl, 2017; Reisigl & Wodak, 2016). Second, we will conduct a questionnaire to identify how language teachers understand interculturality and intercultural practices in their classrooms (SO2). The sampling considers a disproportionate stratification to enable similar sample sizes for Spanish and EFL teachers, and Traditional Educators, ensuring the representation of Traditional Educators, who are the smallest population (CEM Mineduc, 2024). Third, we will analyze how school communities discursively construct interculturality on their school grounds (SO3) through the examination of schoolscapes (Gorter & Cenoz, 2015). To this end, three schools across three regions will be selected (i.e., Tarapacá, Metropolitan, and Araucanía) to ensure geographic representativeness. The data will be analyzed in light of Ledin and Machin’s multimodality framework (2017, 2018, 2019) as it incorporates the materiality of the semiotic signs, the ideologies and beliefs behind the creation of multimodal texts, and the recontextualization of social actors and practices (van Leeuwen, 2008). Finally, we analyze the actions and decisions language teachers take to address interculturality in the language classroom (SO4) through classroom observation (minimum 48 pedagogical hours in total; four hours per language subject) in the same schools. These observations will be analyzed using the synopsis technique (Dolz et al., 2018; Schneuwly & Dolz, 2009), which allows us to both hierarchize central pedagogical sequences and examine teachers' actions and students' reactions in detail. In turn, it enables data reduction and serves as heuristic support for analysis. Expected results seek to enlighten how educators co-create language and interculturality in culturally diverse schools. It examines how these social actors recontextualize and mediate top-down policies to their daily realities, thus illuminating the negotiation and resemiotization of hegemonic understandings of interculturality in line with the needs of their own communities (bottom-up practices).[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][/vc_section][vc_section css=".vc_custom_1649209804184{background-color: #f6faff !important;}" el_class="p-md-0 pt-md-5"][vc_row el_class="container mx-auto align-items-center p-md-0 pt-5"][vc_column el_class="p-0"][/vc_column][/vc_row][/vc_section][vc_section css=".vc_custom_1649210787516{background-color: #f6faff !important;}" el_class="p-md-0 pt-md-5 pb-md-5"][vc_row el_class="container mx-auto align-items-center"][vc_column][/vc_column][/vc_row][/vc_section]

Noticing para la equidad y conocimiento para la enseñanza de las matemáticas: construyendo aulas de matemáticas inclusivas a través del desarrollo profesional de profesores de educación especial

[vc_section el_class="container mx-auto align-items-center circle--pattern" css=".vc_custom_1648956589196{padding-top: 3rem !important;}"][vc_row el_class="pb-5"][vc_column][vc_wp_custommenu nav_menu="6"][uoh_breadcrumb_component automatic_breadcrumb="true"][uoh_title_component title_dropdown="big" title_decorator="true"]{{title}}[/uoh_title_component][vc_column_text css=""]La formación de los profesores de educación especial ha transitado desde un modelo clínico, centrado en el déficit, hacia un modelo socioeducativo que se centra en la inclusión del estudiante, atendiendo sus necesidades y reconociendo sus derechos (Tenorio et al., en prensa), lo que les permite atender a la diversidad más allá del déficit. No obstante, dicha mirada no siempre se refleja en la enseñanza de las matemáticas. Por ejemplo, estudios recientes revelan que los profesores de educación especial tienden a priorizar una enseñanza funcional de las matemáticas —como el manejo del dinero o actividades prácticas— con el fin de fomentar la autonomía y la inclusión laboral de estudiantes con discapacidad intelectual (San Martin et al., 2025). Si bien este enfoque puede ser valioso, centrar la enseñanza únicamente en lo funcional limita el acceso al desarrollo del pensamiento matemático, considerado un objetivo central del currículo escolar (e.g., Schoenfeld, 2022), y puede traducirse en una forma de exclusión que ha sido calificada como deshumanizante (Tan et al., 2020). Esto se debe a que, bajo el argumento de unas matemáticas funcionales, se recorta el currículo a estudiantes que presentan discapacidad o alguna barrera para el aprendizaje (Greenstein & Baglieri, 2018). Esta tendencia se ve reforzada por el predominio de la instrucción directa en la educación especial, que reduce las matemáticas a una secuencia de procedimientos por repetir (e.g., Gersten et al., 2009; Montague & Jitendra, 2012; Schnepel & Aunio, 2021), privando a los estudiantes de oportunidades para ejercer su capacidad de pensar y participar activamente en la construcción de significado (Lambert, 2018; Tan et al., 2020). En este contexto, este proyecto apunta a dos factores que podrían apoyar la superación de esta problemática: (a) el conocimiento matemático para la enseñanza de profesores de educación especial y (b) el uso de este conocimiento en tareas situadas, como atender al pensamiento matemático de los estudiantes. Para abordar este propósito, nos apoyamos en el conocimiento profesional para enseñar matemáticas, entendido en este trabajo a partir de tres constructos teóricos: (a) el conocimiento para la enseñanza de las matemáticas, desde dos perspectivas diferentes y complementarias —el Political Conocimiento for Teaching Mathematics (PCTM; Gutiérrez, 2012, 2017) y el Mathematics Teacher Specialised Knowledge (MTSK; Carrillo et al., 2018)—, y (b) el noticing multidimensional para la equidad (van Es & Sherin, 2021, 2022). La racionalidad de esta decisión radica en que los diversos modelos sobre el conocimiento del profesorado han evidenciado la complejidad de la relación entre el conocimiento matemático y su despliegue en las distintas prácticas que configuran la enseñanza de esta disciplina (Llinares, 2019). En este sentido, la investigación en torno al conocimiento del profesor de matemáticas se ha desarrollado principalmente desde dos enfoques (Depaepe et al., 2013; Kaiser et al., 2017): por un lado, una perspectiva cognitiva, que ha dado lugar a marcos teóricos que distinguen analíticamente distintas facetas del conocimiento; y, por otro, una perspectiva situada, que concibe el conocimiento docente como dinámico, emergente de la práctica y movilizado a través de la reflexión y la interacción en el aula. En este proyecto optamos por integrar ambas perspectivas, ya que, por una parte, están respaldadas teórica y empíricamente (Cenigz et al., 2011; Thomas et al., 2017) y, por otra, su articulación permite avanzar hacia una comprensión más holística del conocimiento profesional del profesorado que enseña matemáticas (Kaiser et al., 2014; Santagata & Yeh, 2016; Stahnke et al., 2016). Desde este marco, nos planteamos dos preguntas de investigación: ¿cómo se desarrolla el PCTM y el MTSK de los profesores de educación especial?, y ¿cómo se desarrolla el noticing multidimensional para la equidad en estos profesores? Estas preguntas se concretizan en el siguiente objetivo general: caracterizar el proceso de desarrollo del conocimiento profesional para enseñar matemáticas del profesorado de educación especial durante un curso de formación continua. Para el logro de este objetivo se ha diseñado una investigación basada en el diseño (Cobb et al., 2016; Molina et al., 2011). De manera general, este diseño contempla un primer año destinado a la revisión de la literatura, el diseño general del curso y de las entrevistas, la formación del facilitador y una primera recogida de datos mediante entrevistas. La implementación del curso de desarrollo profesional se realizará principalmente durante el segundo y tercer año. En el segundo año, el foco estará puesto en el desarrollo del PCTM y el MTSK mediante dos sesiones mensuales durante diez meses. Al finalizar este periodo, se repetirán las entrevistas personales con los participantes, ahora centradas en el desarrollo del PCTM y el MTSK. Durante el tercer año, el proyecto contempla la implementación de un club de video que seguirá el formato propuesto por van Es y Sherin (2008). Concretamente, se realizarán diez reuniones mensuales en las que se reflexionará en torno al marco del noticing multidimensional para la equidad (van Es & Sherin, 2022). Finalmente, durante el cuarto año, se realizará una tercera recogida de datos mediante entrevistas orientadas a indagar tanto el desarrollo del noticing como el uso de los modelos PCTM y MTSK. Estas entrevistas permitirán dar cuenta del proceso completo y serán analizadas en contraste con las dos recogidas previas. En este curso de desarrollo profesional participarán profesores de educación especial que se desempeñen actualmente en cursos de 1.º a 6.º básico, provenientes de cuatro contextos escolares en los que se despliega la educación especial: (a) escuelas para estudiantes sordos, (b) escuelas para estudiantes ciegos, (c) escuelas para estudiantes con TEA y (d) escuelas regulares con Programa de Integración Escolar (PIE). Los resultados esperables de este proyecto permitirán identificar áreas de conocimiento crítico que los profesores de educación especial necesitan para desempeñar con éxito la docencia en matemáticas. En este sentido, los hallazgos podrán orientar ajustes o propuestas para los programas de formación inicial docente, focalizando en aquellos aspectos que, tanto la literatura como los propios profesores en servicio, consideran necesarios para su desempeño profesional.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][/vc_section][vc_section css=".vc_custom_1649209804184{background-color: #f6faff !important;}" el_class="p-md-0 pt-md-5"][vc_row el_class="container mx-auto align-items-center p-md-0 pt-5"][vc_column el_class="p-0"][/vc_column][/vc_row][/vc_section][vc_section css=".vc_custom_1649210787516{background-color: #f6faff !important;}" el_class="p-md-0 pt-md-5 pb-md-5"][vc_row el_class="container mx-auto align-items-center"][vc_column][/vc_column][/vc_row][/vc_section]
