The object of this study is to describe social representation about education in mass communication media such as Bio-Bio Radio. With this purpose, a corpus from newspaper articles published in the year 2013, was constructed, which was analyzed with lexicometric procedures and thematic elemental contexts. Through these procedures, it was possible to identify the main agents involved, their impulse topics and to recognize three new clusters, which marked the representation of education during the year 2013: “Mobilization,” “University system,” “Reply of the political system,” with the purpose of tackling the crisis of the education system.

This article is focused on the consideration that there are companies that do not know the mechanisms necessary for boosting the dynamism and preserving the knowledge generated in their daily interactions by means of the professional profiles and roles of the people that work for those companies. The study is based on the supposition that these companies, due to being focused on the chains of production, do not aim their attention at the management of the knowledge, allowing it to leak into other sectors. This knowledge leak constitutes an irreparable loss in terms of the human potential and cognitive capital. With the objective of acquiring knowledge on how to improve and develop the professional capability regarding the learning, the information and communication technologies and the communication strategies within a framework of a competitive organization, the project was carried out based on a case study in Universidad de Medellín and its Department of Basic Sciences under a qualitative methodology and using the ethnographic method. The following are several results worth highlighting: 1. If the management necessary for evaluating the performance of the professors does not work adequately, there is a possibility that they feel unmotivated to undergo professional changes; 2. The “Permanencia con Calidad” (Remaining in the post with quality) project shows a process of change accompanied by the development of professional capabilities and a new practice, which is manifested in the way the professors express themselves about their professional role.

This article poses challenges that the analysis of the current status of environmental culture brings; even when the university is considered the institution for disclosing knowledge and educate citizens who promote ideas, decisions and behaviors contributing to the sustainable environmental development. Environmental realities which originate the current arena were characterized, so from the contribution of interest groups, the construction process of a possible and desirable arena may be started. The documental analysis, revision of courses of study and the survey were the methodological strategies, which contributed to the theoretical documentation, the interpretation of evidences, and the interaction of researchers with actors and their realities.

Results evidenced that in Universidad Pontificia Bolivariana, Montería campus, man-society-nature relation has been affected by the use and savings of raw materials, energy, and water; solid and liquid residues handling; use common zones; environmental analysis in courses of study; appropriation of the citizen; use of communication for generating social transformation processes, and development of research and social projection projects in environmental issues

This research becomes an effort of IMAGO group for advancing in its contributions to the complex and rich relation between communication and education. It collects ideas that the authors have developed in the last years in the field of image and, particularly, the developing of the image in classrooms. This text goes away from deep conceptualization and focuses in offering a tool for using image as a didactic mediation in the educative processes. In this way, authors use elements of the video and its different didactic use possibilities. They also put into operation a brief conception of didactics, in order to bring the reader close to the concepts from which their proposal has been worked. Based on this, the research offers a step by step o an organized process which offers the reader some important keys to take advantage of the audiovisual image in methodologies and educative didactics. Video in the classroom before, currently, and after become keys that playing to the simile of video production (Pre-production, production, post-production) allow state the didactic proposal.

The digital ecosystem that impacts society today, a panorama that is not alien to academia, leads to questioning the need for teachers to integrate the use of ICT in the training process as a support for the presence and for the Model of education in which this use is inserted. To address this phenomenon, an investigation of mixed methodology (quantitative-poll-qualitative-interview-) was structured, applied to students and teachers of Social Communication-Journalism, from which an exploratory exercise of communicative praxis was discussed, on the use of New technologies in the classroom, as well as the conception of this use by the actors involved in the training process. The corpus of analysis allowed to show that in the face-to-face model the technological becomes a teaching support, a tool, a complement, so to speak, to the teaching-learning process. The imminently virtual model or distance education (e-learning and blended) is proposed as a paradigm of technological didactics.

In this article, presented as the final report of the research “Juvenile Audiences’ Education: a pedagogical proposal before media consumption habits,” there is a phenomenological analysis of social communication media consumptions such as: television, radio, press, and Internet.
