This article is based on qualitative analysis of interviews and focus groups conducted with participants enrolled in the Senior Programme of the University of Lleida, the City Council of Lleida, and care homes, as well as professional workers in the field of gerontology and related areas. It presents the analysis of interviews focused on the participants’ life trajectories, ageing, creativity, self-perception, and quality of life. The study aimed to examine how creativity influences the maintenance and improvement of a sense of wellbeing in older adults, and to reflect on how the perception of old age and of oneself changes through creative activity and active engagement across the life span. The article is framed within a new concept in sociology and the social sciences—‘profiguration’, which is the key element in the promotion and strengthening of intergenerational interdependence, education, wellbeing, social participation, and active ageing.

Este artículo presenta una revisión documental de investigaciones sobre la política migratoria de Colombia y su impacto en la educación, en el periodo 2010-2020. El análisis de contenido identifica tres categorías clave: política migratoria y educación obligatoria; barreras emergentes en educación obligatoria y retos en política migratoria y educación obligatoria. Esto demuestra el interés creciente por analizar el impacto de la migración desde Venezuela hacia Colombia en la educación primaria y secundaria. Cuantitativamente, las aportaciones científicas aumentan a partir de 2015, debido al incremento de flujos migratorios venezolanos, tratando problemáticas y retos políticos y educativos.
Es evidente cómo la tecnología en los últimos años ha venido evolucionando a un ritmo cada vez mayor, impactando diferentes ámbitos de la sociedad, entre ellas, la educación. Para reconocer cuál ha sido la incidencia de las Tecnologías de la Información y las Comunicaciones (tic) en la escuela colombiana, resulta valioso identificar las tendencias de investigación en el siglo xxi (2000-2021), que abordan este campo. De esta manera, en el presente estado del arte, resultado de una investigación doctoral, se realiza una búsqueda de artículos académicos en diferentes bases de datos, que abordan la relación tic-escuela básica y media en Colombia. Posteriormente, se realiza un análisis cualitativo y documental desde la perspectiva de la Teoría Fundamentada en tres momentos de codificación: abierta, axial y selectiva. Finalmente, resultado del análisis del corpus documental, compuesto por cuarentaiséis documentos, se vislumbran seis tendencias de investigación: aproximaciones históricas sobre las tic en la escuela; formación docente en tic; brecha digital; reconfiguraciones de la escuela; subjetividad juvenil y del maestro y factores de aprovechamiento de las tic en la escuela.
This case study reveals that age-related areas are the least desirable professional future options for many university students in social work degree programmes. One of the possible causes is the negative social labelling of older age, especially pronounced in respect of older women. Additionally, there is a poor and limited educational approach towards later life and growing older inside and outside the educational settings. This article focuses on the social construction of older age from gender and double theoretical perspectives. In particular, it centers on the pillars of education and profiguration. For educational and analytical purposes, these aspects are approached in the classroom setting from a critical perspective by using the in-depth reading of a book that is set in the local context, in particular, the city of Lleida (Spain). It presents the results of the content analysis and reflections written by 170 first-year university students taking a degree course in social work, and the outcomes of the subsequent classroom discussions with the author of the book. The study results show that better knowledge about the complexities of ageing and later life can lead to the reconstruction of the students’ viewpoints about older age, help foster critical thinking, and defy age-related stereotypes, beliefs, and prejudices.
