Epistemic Communities to Consolidate Educational Policies in the Internal Planning of Teacher Training College

An Epistemic Community, as defined by Adler and Haas (1992), is a network of professionals with wide academic recognition as experts in a particular field of knowledge, whose legitimacy allows them to influence the formulation and execution of policies in that field. There are several fields of knowledge in which the influence of Epistemic Communities has been successful (International Relations, Medicine, Environmental Care, among others), but as appears in the available studies, there has been little formation of these communities in the Educational field. In the case of the Teacher Training Colleges of Mexico, this experience also seems to be null, but if we analyze the foundations and implications of the Epistemic Communities, the formation and implementation of this type of communities can be a real opportunity to overcome problems of legitimacy and concretion of the Federal Educational Policies that for these colleges have been formulated in our country in the most recent years. The first tasks that these communities would be the understanding and discussion of the problems of these type of colleges to enunciate alternative solutions, as well as the creation of an analytical framework for the interpretation of International, National and State Educational Policies so that, in their internal work, the Teacher Training Colleges can enunciate congruently their own institutional policies and in the short or medium term can actually put into practice these policies in aspects such as Research, Educational Innovation, Professionalization of their teachers, and the effective Use of Technologies (from ICT-Information and Communication Technologies to PET- Participation and Empowerment Technologies).Keywords: Epistemic Communities, Educational Policies, Teacher Training Colleges and Institutions.

Health empowerment technologies (HET): building a web-based tool to empower older African American patient-doctor relationships.

Responding to health and digital inequities among older African Americans, a customized web-based mobile health information intervention is being developed for this vulnerable group and their doctors as part of the Health Empowerment Technologies (HET) Project. The belief is an empowered patient-doctor relationship leads to more improved health outcomes than patient empowerment alone. Using health information technology to empower both older African Americans and their doctors by increasing health literacy and computer capacities of both is the major HET study aim. A focus group of older African American patients and one of their doctors yielded data to help build the HET. Thematic analysis of opinions and preferences about the content and structure of the HET revealed concordance and asymmetry among the patients and doctors. While challenges prevail in its construction, building this ethnicity-specific web-based health information technology presents the opportunity to integrate health information technology in clinical encounters for every patient.

Parental Control Perfection? The Impact of the DVR and VOD Boom on the Debate over TV Content Regulation

New technologies that allow families to easily tailor their media consumption undermine the pervasiveness rationale for government regulation of content.Both the variety of family programming options now available and new technologies, such as digital video recorders (DVRs) and video on demand (VOD) services, are helping to fully empower parents to control what media is consumed in their household. Included are devices that allow parents to acquire libraries of approved content, such as DVD players, VCRs and the more recent DVRs. A large variety of family-friendly programming available from broadcast, cable and satellite television further helps parents effectively manage their family's viewing habits.The widespread availability of these technologies coupled with the wealth of programming options available have profound implications for debates over the regulation of television programming. Content-based regulation of broadcast media has historically been justified by the pervasiveness rationale, or the idea that the medium is uniquely invasive in the home and readily accessible to children. The multitude of parental control options available in addition to the empowerment technologies mentioned above undermines this justification for content regulation. There is no basis for singling out broadcast media for unique regulation in light of competition from new video platforms.The pervasiveness rationale for government regulation of video content is an aging relic of bygone media and regulatory era. It would be a mistake to accord lesser First Amendment protection to any type of speech or media provider based on that rationale when parents have been empowered to control media that enters their home.

Free Speech and Child Protection on the Web

Since the Web first became widely used in the mid 1990s, it's been impossible to regulate all, or even most, of its content according to a single substantive standard. Instead, diversity and decentralization rule. To protect children or anyone else from content regarded as inappropriate or harmful, we must find user-centered alternatives that leverage the Web's decentralized social organization, rather than trying to fight it. Around the world, while regulators have struggled with laws that seek to restrict children's access to material that is otherwise legal for adults, Web technology developers have been building increasingly accurate and powerful content filters. These filtering approaches can be either the basis of parental empowerment technologies or tools for repression and censorship by authoritarian regimes. What should be clear by now, though, is that attempts at national or culturally narrow content regulation simply won't work in democratic societies
