The country's current situation with regard to good treatment, interper-sonal relationships, tolerance and giv-ing respite to indifference and count-less social conflicts faced by the coun-try is certainly a cause for concern and study for many social sciences professionals, who suggest how adap-tation and "the socialization process that is reaffirmed in Educational Insti-tutions is one of the main factors for the establishment of proactive behav-ior in humans for the benefit of com-munity."

The search for integrative elements in the student's education in institu-tions, has led various authors to focus on the emotional dynamics of teaching practice, due to the importance of "emotional" in the processes of learn-

ing and interpersonal relationships, creating a challenge both the social actors participating in educational as the academy itself.

The value of expressing affection or disaffection generated by students on the teacher and vice versa is the beginning of recognizing the class-room in a different dimension to the usual. The classroom is not a neutral space where knowledge and intellect just relate each other. It is a space where relationships, linkages, alli-ances interweave and invisible battles are fought and power struggles are carried out at the same time. They do not appear in the agenda but they vital part of students and teachers every-day experiences.

The importance of emotion in the whole personality and the interrela-tionship between subjects is that a high percentage of human actions is not the result of reasoning, but of

emotional states. That is why some of the most important life decisions are strongly affected by emotions.

Due to the importance of emotion in human life, we must consider the following question: What is more im-portant, intelligence or emotion? This question raises a false issue. Both are functions of a unitary and structured whole. They never act separately, from which it follows that there is a functional interdependence. The inci-dence of affective knowledge is a downside if it hampers the objectivity of those trials in which it fully predomi-nates. But it may also note the posi-tive impact emotion can have in the knowledge so that it intensifies the interest in certain issues and it can even anticipate it.

Therefore, The Educational Institu-tion should be conceived as a micro-society where a group of people meet and share experiences, knowledge, values, norms and emotions that fos-ter the optimal development of stu-dents at both academic and personal spheres.

In the VIII Meeting of Unadista

Leaders, celebrated between Au-

gust the 16th and the 22th at Monas-

terio de la Señora de la Candelaria

in Raquira, Boyaca. Different aca-

demic activities were developed in

this week.

They worked in collaborative

groups about topics related to the

Formation of Unadista Leader.

One of them regarding to the

active participation of Vicerrectoría

de Medios y Mediaciones Pedagógi-

cas is the telematic course for man-

agement board, this activity was

guided by the Engineer John Fi-

gueredo, national coordinator of the

program Formación de Formadores

and Dr. María Catalina Duque, tutor

of this program.

The activity was focused mainly

on the development of an academic

project describing each one of the

stages and creating a Gant timeta-

ble using the platform Zoho, which

has multiple services – some of free

type and others of plus service- for

the users´ use.

This platform will be one of the

topics to develop in the Office Auto-

mation and Telematic Course that

will start next September the 10th

and will be orientated to all the

members who want to reinforce their

knowledges in the handle of these

areas which are so important and

basic to all the Unadista community

of the South Zone in order to check

the benefits offered by these tools

and study the chance of integrating

the activities that each member de-

velops in his/her academic exercise.

Distance education is based on

the use of technologies to the for-

mation through de design and de-

velopment of pedagogical media-

tions and mediated interactions.

The use of different technologies

has led to the validation of „Models”

of distance education: handcrafted,

industrialized and virtual. The last

one is known as “e-learning”, “on

Line education” or “virtual educa-

tion”, which has given a new input to

the distance education, as well as

the traditional education.

The management of telematics

technologies has help to the inspi-

ration of pedagogical , curricular ,

evaluative practices as well as ,

interaction, interactivities, relation

with knowledge, contexts, learning,

equity , social inclusion, quality and

ways of production and re-

formulation of the own subjectivity.

In a general view, the different

relation between technology and

education expressed in the e- edu-

cation, are generating the need to re

-formulate the public policies in edu-

cation, regulatory norms, quality

standards, the accesses, uses and

transferences of information and

knowledge, the criteria for the eco-

nomic in education, indicators of

social inclusion, equity formation

cycles, and educative spaces.

Topics

Formation and research in the e-

learning

Population and social responsi-

bility in the e-education

Organization and economy in the

At the beginning of this course about family and

human development as a graduation option, many wrong ideas came into the students‟ minds, how-ever throughout the course those ideas changed, creating news expectations and developing new competences in the future professionals and mak-ing them understand that this course which was only considered at the beginning as an option to graduate , it would also let them comprehend the complexity of the human behavior inside such an important context which is family, understand the different relation states and the multiple situations that they can experienced and at the same time those situations can create conflicts.

This learning will be acquired through a search-ing project which must be contextualized and as a result of it an auditing proposal should be created in order to make future professionals honourable people , capable to help and make new proposals according to people‟s needs, be instruments of so-cial energy who contribute to change the current and no-desired social and family reality.

This course gives students tools which will make them efficient in their jobs, specifically in the social and communitarian field, specializing in family and human development, standing out for their ability to apply the theory through participative action re-search (PAR). In this way UNAD gives the students the choice to have access to an graduation option which will be useful to reinforce their research com-petences and academic profile, therefore this course its an excellent chance for the students who chose to graduate as a psychologist with emphasis in community.

This course could not be done without our stu-dents who support it and the participation and help of Victoria Hernández Cruz, Dean of ECSAH from south zone and Ricardo Jiménez national coordina-tor of the course.

It conveys the UNAD and work provided by the CAP in Caqueta

Now a days, in a full contradictions time as we´re living, it´s even difficult think in as nice as noble feelings, like friendship and love are. Parents who murder their children, sometimes they abandon them and their desti-nation generally is a sure death anywhere a few hours after been born.

Half friends who betray for a lentils plate, for money, for the seductor son of sirens... with woman´s scent.

But in the midst of this sad reality, there are people who find new life ways. They also find that loyalty in the friendship, respect for nature and love for their family; all of these elements have much more value all the power or gold of the world.

In the edition, we want to share some reflections and wise phrases about happiness, love and friendship. We wait they to serve to everybody for thinking a bit, and try to conduce their ideas looking for a truthful happiness.

“My love is my best clothes, it´s my dwelling, it´s

my endless space”.

“My love is all what I have, if I deny or sell it

what for breathing?”.

Silvio Rodriguez.

“For actions and no for words friends will be

appreciated”.

Tito Livio.

“He prefers to be deceived by a false friend than

he to deceive a truly one”

André Maurois

“Happiness is a butterfly that if you purse it, it´ll

always be farther than you can reach it, however if

you´ll stay quiet and in silence, it could lay down on you”.

“So much time, by thinking of your silence, until I understood, it was your talking to me way, then I started

to think in my silence and I discovered it was my loving you way”.

“Between your silence and mine, I conquered how to cry to the world, with my closed mouth, which my hori-

zon runs through your own sky”.

Maria Victoria Duque López .

“Friendship is a soul which abides into two bodies; a heart which abides into two souls”

Aristoteles.

“Love is as fever. Leaves and increases against our willpower”.
