The university has been the point of greatest semantic variety throughout its universal history and whose discussion has been the most heated, as some characters understand it as the incubator of business projects and as the critical counterweight body of the State. Whatever its interpretation, its structure and its execution is what animates, in part, the social and political life of a nation. In the present case, it is a historical tracing where two psychological variables converge in education: critical thinking and the dynamics of groups in university environments, seen through in a variety of normativities that appeared since the time Colonial period until the end of the second term of Action Nacional Party in Mexico. This chronological narrative provides a description of the importance of linking both variables in order to optimize and ensure the healthy functioning of universities.

La presente investigación se planteó como objetivos centrales: determinar el nivel de los componentes del estrés y del rendimiento académico en alumnos de una licenciatura en nutrición, así como establecer la relación entre ambas variables. Para el logro de este objetivo se desarrolló un estudio cuantitativo no experimental, transversal y correlacional a través de la aplicación de una encuesta a los alumnos de la Licenciatura en Nutrición de la Universidad Juárez del Estado de Durango. Los resultados obtenidos permiten afirmar la presencia de un nivel medio de estrés, un nivel medio de rendimiento académico y, de forma general, que no hay relación entre ambas variables, salvo con un estresor y algunas estrategias de afrontamiento.

To think the educational transgency of these times of great crisis means to find lines of exit non traditionalist, for it is necessary to leave the reductionism and to go to the transparadigmatic visions that are achieved in the Project Transmodern; The word trans incursione "beyond" the finished enclosures, in the exteriority of Modernity. This non-hegemonic project critically envisages transparent transgender education in Venezuela from a deeply hermeneutic, comprehensive, incisive, irreverent, critical and self-critical inquiry. The complex lines of transcomplexity, rich in complex and transcendental visions, are thought of as echoing the educational praxis from compassion and spirituality in the actors of the educational process that make up deeply selfish practices.

Video games are a useful tool to entertain teenagers, but also an important teaching tool.

Es un estudio cuyo propósito fue explorar y describir el liderazgo directivo femenino y el clima organizacional en una unidad organizacional del nivel bachillerato de la Universidad Autónoma de Sinaloa. Se administraron dos instrumentos para conocer el liderazgo; uno de ellos fue aplicado a la directora para medir la autopercepción sobre su gestión y otro a los profesores para valorar cómo perciben el liderazgo directivo de la misma directora. Además, se administró una encuesta para diagnosticar el clima organizacional. Al comparar los resultados de autopercepción sobre el liderazgo de la directora y la percepción que tienen los profesores sobre el mismo, se perciben contradicciones; ella se percibe relacionada mientras que ellos la perciben orientada a dirigir. Se encontró que el clima no es óptimo. Es necesario seguir profundizando en cada una de las variables, la relación entre ellas e incluir otras. Los resultados son sugerentes para que se brinden mayores oportunidades a las mujeres en puestos de dirección, pero con la libertad para que desarrollen sus características.

The boys and girls of this land are artists, dream makers, creators of “a caramel world”. World to which they illuminate with their light, transmuting the civilized desolation, sheltering it, filling it with color. That is right, children are poetry of a thousand tones, because they are beauty, wonder, grace, kindness, and of course, they are full vital energy because they live in connection with the whole, hence their exuberance, their spiritual splendor. That is why they are great teachers of life, who have come to earth, to transform the world, to recreate history - if the school machinery does not obstruct this possibility. For the latter not to happen, education that is poiesis, is our choice at stake, and is here deep in an experience of subtle poetic atmosphere, carried out by a group of boys and girls of primary schooling. An adventure through which the metaphor of the rainbow participated in the game of life, danced to beautiful melodies in each of the poetic-plastic-musical expressions of children, painting in their smiles the radiation of the goddess Iris. Radiation in colors of life, passion, joy, dreams, hope, imagination, peace, harmony and tranquility. A ludocreative experience that allowed us to show that children are eminent poets, scientific-playful, who not only can re-create artistic, scientific works ... but who can become the authentic artists of the beauty of their own life

The objective of the study was to describe how effective teaching of teachers in a public university is, from the perception of the students. It is a phenomenological qualitative study. Participated 63 students from a Mexican public university. The written composition technique was used considering effective teaching as one that actually achieves learning in students. The main findings are three categories that are more recurrent and characterize effective teaching, which are ordered from greater to lesser semantic weight: they make classes dynamic and practical, explain clearly and use technology. These results coincide with other studies, noting that dynamism, variety of activities, class climate and structured lessons favor student.

In the present work we intend to make an analysis on the development of mathematical thinking in the training of teachers for basic education in Mexico, for this is a tour of the plans and programs and the subjects that have promoted mathematics education In the history of normalism, since 1886 with the formal establishment of the first plans and programs of study, until the 2012 Reformation of the degree in primary education. Although, at the origins of normal schools during the Porfiriato the teaching of mathematics and the development of thought occupied a central place in teacher training; It can be maintained that with the passage of the years this formation was diluted, passed to the background or almost disappeared. However, in recent years with the processes of neoliberal globalization and with scientific and technological advances it has begun to emphasize the relevance of the formation and development of mathematical thinking. Therefore, at the end of their initial training, graduates must possess the theoretical, technical, methodological and practical elements to join a dynamic, dialectical and competitive world. It is widely recognized that mathematical development in some countries, such as Japan, where it occupies a central place in school curricula and work dynamics. In that sense, in our country this experience is taken up as being significant and transcendent for the development and progress in the training of new teachers.

At present, academics that work in universities, like any professional should have the knowledge of the subject. They must be ethical, since it allows us to have a correct behavior in every moment of life, which helps us to make good decisions, analyzing the concept of good and the bad of them.

The fact that teachers have a good ethical training will make it possible for students to be better people, which will impact on having a better society where current youth should receive a good education, since they are the present of our country. That is why the academics of any institution must have an ethics that they put into practice daily.
