El profesor agropecuario en el ejercicio de su profesión, despliega múltiples acciones de su actividad profesional pedagógica en los diferentes contextos de actuación, lo cual exige de una adecuada actualización científico-técnica en la especialidad que enseña, a partir de su encargo social. Esta investigación responde a la necesidad de contribuir al mejoramiento de uno de los problemas actuales de este subsistema: la superación profesional técnica de los profesores agropecuarios de la Educación Técnica y Profesional. En el estudio exploratorio, se constataron debilidades en el proceso de superación profesional técnica que se desarrolla en los centros politécnicos de Pinar del Río y que repercuten en el tratamiento adecuado de esta problemática. La utilización de los métodos de investigación científica: teóricos, empíricos y estadístico-matemáticos, permitieron elaborar una concepción pedagógica fundamentada desde la Educación Avanzada, la Educación de Posgrado y la pedagogía de la Educación Técnica y Profesional. La misma abarca tres componentes que en su dinámica permiten concebir un proceso en correspondencia con las exigencias del subsistema y la agricultura cubana actual. La valoración por criterio de expertos de la concepción pedagógica, su implementación en la práctica educativa y los progresos constatados en los indicadores evaluados, garantizan la validez científica, teórica y práctica de la propuesta. Palabras Clave: superación profesional técnica, profesor agropecuario, educación técnica y profesional ABSTRACT   The agriculture teacher, in the daily activities of his profession, carries out multiple pedagogical actions in different contexts, which demand an appropriate scientific-technical upgrading in the specialty that he is teaching because of his social compromise.This research responds to the need of contributing to the improvement of one of problems in this sub-system:  the technical professional upgrading of agriculture teachers in Technical and Professional Education.  In the exploratory study, weaknesses were verified in the process of professional upgrading developed at polytechnic schools in Pinar Del Río, and that they affect the adequate treatment of the problem.  The utilization of scientific research methods :  theoretical, empirical, statistical-mathematical, made it possible to build up a pedagogical concept  with foundations in Advanced Education, Graduate Education and pedagogy of Technical and Professional Education.  These cover three components that allow the conception of a process in correspondence with the demands of the subsystem and the current Cuban agriculture.    Assessment, by expert criteria on pedagogical conception, its implementation on educational practice, and proven progress of the assessed indicators, guarantee the scientific, theoretical and practical validation of the proposal.   Keywords: technical professional upgrading, agriculture teacher, technical and professional education     Recibido: septiembre de 2015Aprobado: noviembre de 2015

The purpose of the study was to examine the features of Texas’s Alternative Route to Certification (ARC) programs in music education, the demographics and prior experiences of program completers, and the employment of ARC completers in K–12 public schools. Data were collected from the State Board of Educator Certification about demographics and employment information for all individuals who completed ARC programs in music education between 2002 and 2012 ( N = 1,200), and individuals from that population were surveyed concerning their experiences ( n = 214). Survey respondents completed programs that varied widely in duration, features, instructional modalities, and providing institutions. Music educator gender and ethnicity were significantly associated with the route used to pursue alternative certification. Relative to the distribution of music teaching positions across the state, ARC completers were disproportionately employed in large urban districts, charter school districts, and in districts with large proportions of economically disadvantaged students.
