Factores de éxito del alumnado de incorporación tardía al sistema educativo español con desconocimiento del idioma
La multiculturalidad de la sociedad de hoy en día se ve reflejada también en el ámbito de la enseñanza. La llegada de inmigrantes da lugar a espacios heterogéneos en cuanto a cultura, religión, lenguas, costumbres, etc. Este alumnado ha supuesto todo un reto para el profesorado, el cual ha procurado dar apoyo y suplir las dificultades y necesidades que este alumnado pueda llegar a tener. De esta manera, el grupo de docentes ha trabajado en el pro…
Science communication in social Media
TikTok shows the highest engagement for science communication content. • Emotional tone does not predict social media success in science posts. • Engineering content receives more likes; social sciences get more comments. • Instagram posts are more subjective and emotionally positive. • YouTube shows the most irony but weakest audience interaction
Professional perspectives on burnout in social work
Social work is one of the professions most exposed to burnout, due, among other factors, to constant exposure to situations of users’ vulnerability, high emotional demands, their position within complex institutional systems, and the mismatch between social needs coverage and available resources. This study aims to gain a better grasp, through the perceptions of social workers, of the particular features within social work that may influence burn…
Roma Community Strategies to Prevent and Address Gender-Based Violence
This article examines community-driven strategies developed within the Roma population to prevent and respond to gender-based violence, highlighting mechanisms that support women’s safety while respecting Roma identity and cultural frameworks. Adopting a qualitative design grounded in Communicative Methodology (CM) and Community-Based Participatory Research (CBPR), we analyzed N = 28 participants, comprising 6 semi-structured interviews with prof…
Feminization and burnout among female social workers
Feminization has been and continues to be a characteristic of social work: it has played a role in the profession's lower status. Despite the similarities between feminism and social work, the profession tends to perpetuate systemic structures of gender inequality. These structural features can increase overload and burnout among female social workers. Our study applies the gender perspective to an analysis of the social work profession. It seeks…
Linking appearance in social networks and acts to improve it with depression in adolescents
The use of social networks to showcase one's image is widespread among adolescents, yet their misuse can pose risks to mental and physical health. This study explores the direct relationship between concern about appearance on social media and depressive symptoms, and the potential indirect effect through appearance-enhancing behaviours. A total of 1209 students aged 12 to 17 participated. Descriptive analyses and a multi-group structural equatio…
Is social theory losing its relevance? A call for social impact and cocreation from dialogic sociology
Currently, the interest in and use of social theory by policy-makers, organizations, and citizens have decreased worldwide. While excellent research focuses on the social influences of social theory and teaching methods, the research often neglects the link between social theory and contemporary societal needs. This gap is addressed by examining the social impact and effects on the motivation for using dialogic theory, which emphasizes dialog and…
“Listen to me!” The role of family supervision and parental phubbing in youth cyberbullying
Asserting the visibility of social work in science
Scientific evidence has shown that Social Work has frequently been considered a second-level discipline in the traditional sexist hierarchy, because pioneers and most social workers are women. The twofold objective of this article is to analyze the dynamics that overcome this consideration and to put forward actions to go further in the near future. The factors that limit these actions and those that make them possible are studied. This article e…
Roma in the Covid-19 Crisis
Research on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Roma community consistently demonstrates that it has exacerbated pre-existing social exclusion and marginalization. However, few studies have specifically addressed the transformative actions or strategies that helped to mitigate these adverse effects. This study aimed to identify and analyze transformative elements through a systematic review, following PRISMA guidelines. The search was cond…

Se analizó un modelo estructural entre ambos tipos de violencia, obteniendo un ajuste óptimo. Este modelo desarrollado entre el bullying relacional y el cyberbu…
Immigrant Students With Limited or Interrupted Formal Education
This exploratory study examines non-refugee immigrant students with limited or interrupted formal education (SLIFE) from Latin America pursuing their secondary education. The education system and the language (English) used differ from the system and language (Spanish) used in their home countries, leading to the educational exclusion of this group. Therefore, we focus on analysing the positive role of high expectations and adult role models conc…
Questioning gendered ageism in job-related non-formal training and informal learning
Age can lead to stigmatisation, which is aggravated in groups that are already at risk of exclusion, such as women. This intersectional bias between age and gender (gendered ageism) affects so-called mature workers (aged 50 and over) in different ways, including the prejudices of employers and workers regarding their skills and competencies, as well as regarding their motivation to participate in training. In this article we analyse mature female…
Optimal Methodology for Addressing the Social Impact Component within Project Proposals and Curriculum Vitae
The scientific and grey literature have highlighted the increasing relevance of the social impact of research. More and more, funding and evaluation agencies are using social impact as a required criterion when assessing the excellence of research proposals and researchers’ CV. However, research has identified elemental confusions about what social impact is in most research proposals, CVs and consulting companies. Based on the communicative meth…

Introducción: Las relaciones sociales se producen simultáneamente entre el entorno presencial y virtual y con mayor intensidad en tiempos de postpandemia. Con el uso de Internet han surgido nuevas conductas como el phubbing, que disminuyen la calidad de las relaciones y la convivencia, y cuyo impacto apenas ha sido estudiado en la adolescencia. Método: El objetivo de este estudio es conocer la incidencia y el impacto de esta nueva conducta en 379…
Promoting Admiration of Foucault Hiding his Defense of Rape and Pederasty
Foucault has been quoted as a great intellectual contributor to feminism and education, despite his defense of decriminalizing rape and pederasty. Since the MeToo movement, there is an increasing criticism of Foucault’s persona and works. However, in order to avoid recognizing their mistake, some authors say that Foucault’s defense of sexual violence was unknown before. This article shows this is not backed by evidence. Data was collected via int…
Mental Health and Access to Information in Times of Covid-19
The confinements and limited social interactions that have derived from COVID-19 have aggravated the situation of people with previous pathologies. As a result, access to health and its rehabilitation or support resources has been limited and redirected toward online care. People with mental health problems have considerably suffered during the pandemic because, for many of them, accessing different information resources through telematic means p…
The time of dialogic sociology
There is a wide and rich literature about how neoliberalism is promoting the budgetary cuts to science and universities, especially to the critical sectors, such as the social sciences. There is scarce literature on the analysis of the role of sociology in the internal processes and debates on the elaboration of the scientific programs of research. Focusing on the European programs of research, this article analyzes how sociology is leading the n…
Burnout and mindfulness among social workers in Spain
Although the number of studies on burnout in social work has increased in recent years, research is still scarce. A similar situation occurs in the area of studies on the effects of mindfulness in this profession, although the research topic has increased exponentially. Based on a quantitative analysis, our study proposes a structural equation model that relates the constructs of burnout, areas of worklife, and dispositional mindfulness among soc…
Innovative Methodological Approach to Analyze Innovation and Social Impact
The scientific literature has presented evidence of the links between innovation and change and has published excellent methodologies to analyze them. Nowadays, international scientific programs like Horizon Europe prioritize social impact and co-creation; researchers need to develop methodologies to analyze the link of innovation with change and new knowledge and specially with social impact. This paper presents an innovative methodological appr…
Conceptualising, Analysing and Training in Adults in the Knowledge Society
In this article, the authors argue that, within the framework of the current information society and the development of Industry 4.0, a revolution hinges on a stock of skills on which adults in general—and adult workers in particular—need to be trained in order to be prepared for the change and improve their employability. Within these skills, we find computational and critical thinking (CCT) as two key skills for workers which are not being deve…
Social work and the Roma community
Although the Roma community is the largest ethnic minority in Europe, it continues to experience inequality and exclusion in all social areas. In social work, the literature identifies limitations in providing effective responses to the problems faced by this community. The identification and analysis of practices that have demonstrated a positive impact in overcoming the inequalities of the Roma community become crucial for improving the design …
Positive relationships for the prevention of bullying and cyberbullying
Coexistence between adolescents in educational centres and people outside these centres is increasingly mediated by the use of different technologies. The present study analyses the perceptions of 4,273 stu- dents in secondary education in Aragon (Spain) on how the positive relationships that occur in the educational centre (among students and their classmates, teachers, school principals and other staff) and between the family and the school med…
Hacia una Sociedad de la Información inclusiva. Competencia tecnológica y habilidades relacionadas con las Tecnologías de la Información y la Comunicación (TIC) de los adultos maduros
El llamado Darwinismo Social, provocado por la revolución tecnológica actual, está dando paso a una Sociedad de la Información (SI) más inclusiva, en la que colectivos en riesgo de exclusión se están incorporando a ella de manera activa. En la presente contribución nos centramos en uno de estos grupos sociales, los adultos maduros (AM, mayores de 55), analizando su acceso y uso de las TIC y su competencia tecnológica en la resolución de problemas…
Interactive groups for immigrant students
Student’s learning is the result of a large number of interactions in all areas. Consequently, with an increasing number of intercultural students, we need to bring to the classrooms successful educational actions that enhance interactions and that have an impact on improving education. Based on the CONEXITO project, this article shows how interactive groups (IGs) have contributed to increase not only the educational success of native students bu…
Exclusionary and Transformative Dimensions
Rivalry and lack of solidarity among women, which exist in the social imaginary and are also reproduced in some research, are linked to the perpetuation of gender violence. The analysis of qualitative data collection in research on gender violence is essential to prevent the reproduction of stereotypes and to induce transformation through research. This article is focused on the communicative analysis, which identifies for each category analyzed …

Clara, From the Ghetto to the European Parliament
Through the biographical reconstruction of Clara’s story, the authors analyze how her participation in dialogic literary gatherings (DLGs) enhanced her personal transformation. Clara received her primary education in a school located in a suburban neighborhood with a low socioeconomic level and great cultural diversity. However, despite difficulties, this is a school with enormous expectations of its students, in which successful educational acti…

Beyond Action Research
In this article we show how the communicative methodology of research (CMR) makes it possible to implement evidence-based policies to improve people's lives. Drawing on theories and methods developed under other paradigms and based on dialogue, the CMR is now a solid body of theory that researchers can put into practice. As researchers engage in egalitarian dialogic interactions with the members of society who are engaged in the research with the…
In the Path to Regaining Social Sciences Legitimacy through Public Sociology
In the process of approval of the European Commission Horizon 2020, research in the Social Sciences and Humanities (SSH) has been under threat. Not only new liberals, but also migrant movements, Roma organizations, feminists, and other citizens have questioned social sciences as a valid instrument to contribute to overcome the crisis and its related inequalities, especially in Europe. In this framework, this article discusses the role that public…

Teoría sociológica aplicada de Félix Requena y Luís Ayuso
Feminización de la judicatura española
La judicatura española está experimentando una transformación importante, y en las últimas promociones las mujeres superan a los hombres. No obstante, hasta fechas muy recientes la mujer ha estado discriminada en el acceso a puestos de máxima responsabilidad, donde su representación es reducida, a pesar de reunir las condiciones requeridas. Previsiblemente, en los próximos años la presencia de la mujer en los órganos de decisión y gestión judicia…
