Desde sus inicios la actividad científica se ha concebido como una ocupación propia del género masculino. A pesar de los esfuerzos por incorporar a las mujeres en las comunidades de investigación científica, aún queda mucho por hacer. Con base en lo anterior, se realizó un estudio cuyo objetivo fue identificar y comparar, bajo una perspectiva de género, los tipos de enseñanza y aprendizaje que se desarrollan dentro de los Institutos Tecnológicos del estado de Veracruz, México. Para ello se aplicó un instrumento ad hoc con ítems cerrados y de opción múltiple, con el que se evaluaron los modelos didácticos que emplean los maestros dentro de estos planteles. El estudio, exploratorio-descriptivo y expost-facto, se realizó en 9 instituciones y 396 estudiantes (55.8% hombres y 44.2% mujeres) que participaban en un proyecto de investigación. Los resultados mostraron que los ma...

Since the beginning, science activity has been conceived as a male-gender occupation. Despite the efforts to bring women into scientific research communities, there is still much to be done. In view of the foregoing, a study was conducted with the aim to identify, with a gender-based approach, the types of teaching and learning styles at the technological institutes in the state of Veracruz, Mexico. For that purpose, an instrument with closed-ended and multiple-choice items was applied to assess the teaching models used by teachers of those institutes. This exploratory, descriptive and ex post facto study covered 9 institutes and 396 students (55.8% men and 44.2% women) who were participating in a research project. Results showed that teachers, regardless of their gender, prioritize experiential learning through discovery, following the premises of meaningful learning and constructivism,...

Objective. To approach higher agricultural education as a complex structure, explained by the functional relationships between the formative and the executive, under performance contexts that nestle in uncertainty and chaos. Method. The systemic alternative is proposed as a way to reach new rationalities about what higher agricultural education, agronomic training and its professional configuration should be, through a critical and reflexive approach to its professional practices. Results. The guidelines of a new perspective of educational training based on epistemic and theoretical-conceptual schemes, oriented from the complexity of systems, are postulated. Conclusions. Professional practices represent the pinnacle of all disciplinary training, which in the case of the agricultural engineer is manifested through the ways in which he understands the social reality to intervene in it.
