El presente trabajo fin de master trata de acercar la realidad existente en los centros educativos en relación a la acción tutorial y al uso de las nuevas tecnologías en este proceso. Son numerosos los estudios existentes sobre las ventajas e inconvenientes que nos pueden ofrecer las TIC en este ámbito educativo, pero la realidad, es que su uso como elemento habitual y sistemático deja mucho que desear. Tras hacer un análisis de las funciones del tutor y la evolución de sus competencias durante la democracia, se observa, que las finalidades de la tutoría se orientan a la formación integral de los alumnos, más allá de la orientación académica, y por ello la necesidad de involucrar a todos los agentes que participan en este proceso, tutor, alumnos, familias y centros educativos. Se presenta una propuesta para mejorar la comunicación entre todos los agentes, basada en el uso de herramientas tecnológicas como la creación de blogs tutoriales, la utilización de las redes sociales y vías de comunicación telemáticas que están al alcance de todos. En la actualidad, el uso de blogs en educación, se encuentran mayormente orientados al uso de los mismos como herramientas pedagógicas, como elemento de ayuda y soporte a una materia determinada. Uno de los objetivos del presente estudio es modificar esa orientación, y convertirlos en una herramienta de ayuda a la tutoría como medio motivacional, ambiente participativo y modo de difusión de información relevante para el aula o grupo tutorizado.

This paper was written for the Fourth Annual Medical Workforce Conference, San Francisco, November 4-7, 1999. The organizers intent was to have the conference papers published, and to have the discussants for the papers in each session contribute a synthesis paper for that session. The papers synthesized here are: Harding, John, and Warwick Conn, 'Workforce Productivity in the Australian Medical workforce', Watanabe, Mamoru, Lynda Buske and Jill Strachan, 'Canadian Physician Workforce Productivity', Maynard, Alan and Karen Bloor, 'Workforce Productivity in the U.K. NHS: Measurement, Variation and Incentives'. Unfortunately the organizers plans for publication did not materialize. This paper reached the antepenultimate stage of being circulated to the session participants for comment and possible revisions, after which references were to have been added. But the overall project was abandoned before any comments were received, and the paper was never completed for publication. The broader issue of physician productivity has, however, re-emerged in Canada. I believe that the paper offers a useful analytic framework for addressing that topic along with fairly detailed illustrative examples of its application to the descriptive material, institutional and statistical, provided in the session papers. Much has changed since; no attempt has been made to up-date those papers. But the process of applying the analytic framework to the world as it then was (said to be) provides, I think, a clear guide for a similar application to present circumstances. ; Arts, Faculty of ; Vancouver School of Economics ; Medicine, Faculty of ; Population and Public Health (SPPH), School of ; Unreviewed ; Faculty

In his last article, 'A Disaster for Dialogue', an extract from which was published posthumously in the Catholic weekly The Tablet (London), 31 July 2004, Professor Michael Prior powerfully challenged the claim that opponents of Zionism were necessarily anti-Semitic. The following is the full version of the Tablet article in which he was commenting on the eighteenth meeting of the International Catholic-Jewish Liaison Committee, which met in Buenos Aires in July 2004.

Focussing on the centrality of the State of Israel within the Jewish-Christian dialogue as it is actually conducted, this essay highlights the challenge that historical truths pose for participants. Through analysis of texts over several decades, it reveals aspects of the discourse which reflect vested political interests, a certain myopia with respect to historical facts, and a lack of moral engagement with realities. One discerns a culture of denial or evasion with respect to, e.g., the expulsion of (80 per cent) of the indigenous inhabitants of Palestine. On such issues one encounters a monologue, albeit in two voices. There is a better way forward.

[ES] Esta ponencia se divide en dos partes, de importancia muy desigual. En la primera se recuerdan, de manera telegráfica, los hechos fundamentales relacionados con la transición política española desde el régimen franquista hasta la democracia parlamentaria actual; se incluyen también, de forma igualmente esquemática, referencias a los períodos anterior y posterior a tal transición, aunque la ponencia sólo versará sobre los hechos incluidos en 1.5. No se pretende, por supuesto, que esta parte sea una mera exposición lineal y «objetiva», sino que en la misma manera de organizar los acontecimientos se dan, inevitablemente, por supuestas ciertas premisas que influirán sobre el análisis posterior. Su objetivo, sin embargo, no es sino servir de referencia para los argumentos que se desarrollan en la segunda parte, centro de este trabajo, donde se explican y debaten los distintos modelos teóricos, ofrecidos fundamentalmente por la sociología política, para explicar el proceso de transición.

RESUMEN: Al reflexionar, desde su propia experiencia de historiador y profesor de Historia Económica, sobre las circunstancias que rodean la tan discutida enseñanza de la Historia propia («nacional» o «regional»), de cada Comunidad Autónoma española y, en concreto la suya, de Aragón, el autor se propone contribuir al debate sobre su obligatoriedad, sentido, finalidad, razonabilidad. Quiere ser una propuesta abierta y poco dogmática, un ensayo con diversas consideraciones que van desde la política y la ideología a la didáctica, y que aporta la experiencia concreta del Instituto de Ciencias de la Educación de la Universidad de Zaragoza, que lleva realizando una preparación muy sólida con vistas a las próximas transferencias de las enseñanzas primaria y media, que de seguro contemplarán la de la Historia de Aragón como un pilar de formación de esos estudiantes. Palabras clave: Historia nacional. Historia regional, Historiografía, Identidad colectiva. Didáctica de la historia. ABSTRACT: Upon reflecting, from his own experience as a historian and professor of Economic History, on the circumstances surrounding the much-debated teaching of the particular History ('national' or 'regional') of each Autonomous Community of Spain, and specifically of Aragón, the author aims to contribute to this debate on its necessity, sense, purpose and reasonableness. It aspires to be a proposal that is open and not very dogmatic, an essay with various considerations that go from politics and ideology to didactics, and which contributes the particular experience of the Institute of Modern historyal Sciences (Instituto de Ciencias de la Educación) oí the University of Zaragoza, which has been Ediciones Universidad de Salamanca Stud, hist., H.^ cont., 13-14, pp. 29-37 carrying out solid preparation with a view to the forthcoming transfer of primary and middle education, which will surely contemplate that of the History of Aragón as a mainstay of the education of these students. Thus it will be necessary for primary and secondary school teachers to be wellprepared in a subject that cannot be improvised. This explains why it is urgent for this problem to be raised at the university level, which is where these future teachers are being trained. Key words: National History, Regional History, Historiography, Collective Identity, Didactics of History.
