    Background: a healthy food intake pattern, specifically the Mediterranean diet (MedDiet), is a factor associated with reduced risk, lower prevalence, and better management of chronic diseases. However, there is limited information regarding how patients integrate proposals for adherence to this food pattern in their daily lives. Objective: to identify factors and conditions that influence adherence to the MedDiet in Chile. Methods: an exploratory qualitative study was applied in 35 to 65-year-old patients of both sexes who presented at least one diagnostic criterion of metabolic syndrome (MetS). Through in-depth interviews and focal groups, knowledge, assessment, attitudes, and practices associated with changes and maintenance of healthy eating habits, with emphasis on the MedDiet, were investigated. Information analysis was carried out under the grounded theory approach using the ATLAS.ti software. Results: participants recognized the value of healthy eating, including the MedDiet, but declared low knowledge (identification of single foods items) together with facilitators (variety of ingredients) and limiting factors (taste, availability/cost of some items, family dynamics) for its routine adoption. In addition, change in eating habits generates a high initial cognitive and emotional load that requires not only individual but also relational effort as it implies modifications of family and collective practices. Conclusions: information obtained on barriers and opportunities to adhere to healthy eating such as the MedDiet is key to design and implement nutritional interventions based on this food pattern and that can be sustainable in time for chronic disease management in Chile.

    Multilingual Contributions to Writing Research: Towards an Equal Academic Exchange
    (University Press of Colorado, 2021) Ávila Reyes, Natalia; Lillis, Theresa; Broad, Bob; Meneses, Alejandra; Uccelli, Paola; Ruiz, Marcela; Bazerman, Charles; Brasil Tonelli, Jaci; Lousada, Eliane G.; Donoso, Alejandra; Österberg, Rakel; Sologuren, Enrique; Eisner, Laura; López Pérez, Olga; Chávez López, Joanna Koral; Mullin, Joan; Rieman, Jan; Narváez, Elizabeth; González, Blanca; García, Luz Ángela; Gómez, Marisol; Luengas, Ingrid; Jiménez, Hermínsul; Navarro, Federico; Uribe Gajardo, Fernanda; Montes, Soledad; Lovera Falcón, Pablo; Mora Aguirre, Bárbara; Sologuren Insúa, Enrique; Álvarez, Martín; Castro Acuña, Claudia; Vargas Pérez, Sebastián; Moyano, Estela Inés; Vian, Orlando Jr.; Blanco Fernández, Juana María; Ávila Reyes, Natalia
    This edited collection offers chapters based on presentations at the Second Latin American Association of Writing Studies in Higher Education and Professional Contexts International Congress (II ALES) held in Santiago, Chile, in 2018. Together, the contributors to the collection—drawn from nine countries and writing in three languages—highlight the many perspectives, resources, and traditions that enrich and expand international conversations about writing, writing instruction, and writing research. The multiple locations from which the chapters in this collection emerge contribute significantly to the situated findings and concerns they address, with the authors of each chapter considering the social, lingual, and institutional contexts shaping their work. Drawing on both robust traditions and cutting-edge research, this collection makes a distinctive contribution to discussions of writing in and beyond Latin America.

    Productive failure and learning through argumentation: Building a bridge between two research traditions to understand the process of peer learning
    (2022) Larraín, Antonia; Grau Cárdenas, Valeska Valentina; Barrera Olmedo, María Jose; Freire De La Jara, Paulina Constanza; López, Patricia; Verdugo, Sebastián; Gómez, Marisol; Ramírez, Francisca; Sánchez Pinilla, Gabriel Ignacio
    Empirical evidence demonstrates the effect of productive failure (Kapur, 2008) on disciplinary knowledge. However, there is no clear theoretical explanation for why this is the case. Empirical evidence on argumentation and education shows the impact of curricular embedded deliberative argumentation on learning. However, these two trends of research have been mainly isolated, with insufficient synergy. Through the analysis of a group of sixth-graders collaborating around problems of natural selection, the aim of this paper is the theoretical exploration of the process of learning in productive failure designs through a focus on argumentative peer dialogue. The paper proposes an articulation of these two fields of research (productive failure and argumentation), which sheds light on both the learning dynamics in productive failure settings and the relevant insights for argumentative designs. The new possibilities for empirical research on learning through peer interaction opened up by these interconnected fields of research are proposed and discussed.
