has always been a threat of permanent cessation of the day Academic Night Social Communication School, Central University of Venezuela (ECS-UCV). The reasons for some, too many. For example, one of the strongest arguments is that it was thought that close "the night", as he is known among students, it would be helpful to focus the teachers on the morning shift and offer a wider range of subjects and seminars. However, we face an inescapable reality. In addition to the historical tradition of night shift, the Communication major has always been linked to earlier practice, ie, given the nature of the race and profession, students enter the labor market since the first semester. This will not go into the impact (positive or not) of this situation in the academic training of high school, but it is important to think about it because it demonstrates the importance of night duty and the obligation we all members of the academic community activate some kind of body that regulate, administer and manage all activities that occur (and which could happen) during this segment of the working day.
In recent years the academic and administrative deterioration of the ECS-UCV has been felt in all areas of our academic life. The lack of enthusiasm, both in class and in the extension and research obvious. The word "apathy" is the best sums up the situation. This stage of academic tenure, lack of critical thinking and lack of dialogue to build knowledge intensifies in the night-shift activities. Students enrolled in this schedule are limited to attending classes and unfortunately are unable to "live the academy." This is our fault. The institutional university does not offer anything other than their classes. The students and pupils of the night have no residual and complementary activities are a safe option only talk on the Outer Banks of the building. There are also some teachers who issues can help managing your career, academic advising in matters difficulties, assists in researching and writing his graduate work, career counseling, among others. Members of ECS-UCV community do not have full range of cultural services offered by the UCV hour as concerts, lectures and other extracurricular activities. This whole situation has a negative influence on their perception of school and career, which leads to breakdowns in the pursuit and, worse, drop final.
Given this reality, we must make a commitment to seek practical and effective way to rescue the "life" that requires our school to survive. And I think right now the opportunity presents itself to the change of management. On the eve of a complete renovation of the authorities, through the referendum to change the Director of the ECS-UCV, we believe it is possible to introduce substantial changes to permit full recovery of the Institution ECS-UCV, which definitely happens to give it the importance it deserves the night shift, not only as a concept and practice, but as a community, ie, give prominence to the people (students, staff, teachers and professors) that live in this turn and design organic and permanent plan to offer this community treatment and services they deserve.
why I believe that the only possible solution is the creation of a Coordination Night. An administrative and academic to assume management of the services, resources and academic and outreach activities, which would allow a significant improvement in the functioning of the ECS-UCV.
A collective construction
space can not enter a change of this magnitude without the participation of all members of the academic community. It is therefore important to be aware that the creation of a Coordination Night is not merely an administrative exercise of what will be the new Director of the ECS-UCV. For Rather, we believe it is necessary to build collective, integrated work between teachers and students. Only then can this transformation be effective. Teachers, as part of new education, we owe it to students, and this new body would be directed primarily to support the graduates for their intellectual and professional training. But this requires their active integration into the programming of activities in the design of them, in identifying needs and implementation of programs that emerge from this discussion.
also believe it is important to the care of teachers who are assigned to duty night. The teachers and teachers alike are disadvantaged when they go to school at this time.
must take advantage of the positioning of the School of Communication at the UCV to project further renew its image and its perception in the public and the national academic community. Therefore, the Coordination Night, together with further coordination of the institutional structure design courses, activities and programs that result in direct benefits to the ECS-UCV and intended for projection. This passes for "open" community school with courses, events and workshops to "blow" the institution and reclaim the space lost. A thick lines
To succeed in this proposal is necessary to plan carefully. Although I think this has to be "built" in collective community can draw some preliminary thick lines defining work that will be undertaken later.
First, it should be considered (before any proposal) the administrative and academic formation of the next semester. In other words, knowing the schedules, the number of teachers and the number of students. After obtaining these data must be planned together students and teachers in the following areas:
· Teaching:
a) Academic Advising: In this particular item should be designed courses or lectures waste guidance for pupils and students with problems in specific subject matters and
b) Technical support to teachers and students: In coordination with the Coordination of Studies, Night Coordination provide technical support to teachers and students for classes, presentations, use of resources for events, including
• Research:
a) Help on thesis: This section is planned to support ongoing activities in Research Methodology and Academic Writing of drafts and research project work grade for any student who requests
b) Discussion of ongoing research lines: The night shift will become a space for dialogue and discussion of research that have determined the Departments and Chairs for both grade performance of work for the strengthening of knowledge. To do this will be regularly organized Conference on Research in which the most recent show teachers and students. This could also nourish the recovery projects of the two publications (standstill for over four years) of the ECS-UCV: Media magazine and newspaper Free Standard
· Extension:
a) Film-ECS-UCV Forum: In a strategic alliance with the National Film and other institutions will be realized an old dream of the School: a film program permanent. Together with the students and the Department of Film, is planning design and operation of such an important activity for critical education students.
b) ECS-UCV Literary Workshop: Seizing the capital of Language and Literature Department will launch the ECS-UCV Literary Workshop, which will give students and the wider community the opportunity to attend regular activities in this area, including discussions of creation and expression literary appreciation of works, collective construction, editing and publication design
c) Extension courses ECS-UCV: Both the students and the public in general, the ECS-UCV offer extension courses which not only benefit the school, but also serve to their institutional. Such courses might include magazine publishing, desktop publishing, rhetoric workshops for lawyers, training of academic writing, critical education for the media, and other Departments and Chairs offering
d) Discussion Academic ECS-UCV: Also whole develop a series meetings to discuss issues of importance to the academic community, such as the journalist's role in contemporary society, the necessary updating of the curriculum of the school, the education of the Social Communication today, among other
This is not a set promises. Nothing to see. It is the commitment of those who subscribe to begin working together with the whole community of the ECS-UCV to transform the institution and to adapt to changing times. Is the announcement of a possible deal to find ways to make our school a center of critical thinking to break the chains of thought only, to remove the apathy and lead to recovery of academia. None of this will be alone and without the integration of the entire community, especially the students, a key objective of this company. Antonio Núñez Aldazoro
