Valoración de la Ecología de Aprendizaje Autorregulado Virtualizada para la Didáctica de las Ciencias de la Naturaleza durante la crisis COVID-19
Los modelos de enseñanza-aprendizaje universitarios están siendo afectados por la crisis originada por la COVID-19. Para atender a esta crisis desencadenada se diseñó de urgencia una propuesta de ecología de aprendizaje autorregulado virtualizada durante el confinamiento de 2020 en la asignatura de Ciencias de la Naturaleza y su Didáctica I del Grado en Maestro de Educación Primaria. En este artículo se describe esta ecología de aprendizaje: los materiales elaborados, los contextos diseñados y la utilización de estrategias de enseñanza-aprendizaje basadas en el aprendizaje autorregulado, tanto durante la docencia virtual como durante la tutorización del alumnado. El objetivo de este estudio…
Technologies Applied to the Improvement of Academic Performance in the Teaching-Learning Process in Secondary Students
The use of active methodologies and educational technologies can improve the academic performance of Secondary students in Physics, and it is one of the most predominant subjects in the field of engineering. This article describes a proposal of Physics activities that use various digital and technological tools incorporated into problem solving. This proposal was carried out in the subject of Physics and Chemistry of 3° of Compulsory Secondary Education (14–16 years) with 35 students (12 boys and 23 girls), forming two groups. The result of the implementation in the classroom was an improvement in the academic performance of the entire student body, being more appreciable in girls and in ge…
Developing Engineering Skills in Secondary Students Through STEM Project Based Learning
The development of 21st century skills allows the training of competent students prepared for work and social life. The improvement of these skills, necessary for engineering students and future engineers, can be favored with training in Secondary Education Stage. Specifically, the Project-Based Learning (PBL) methodology includes the performance of different activities that allow the acquisition of both conceptual and procedural skills. This article describes the relationship between the skills that high school students develop when they work with PBL and the competences (ABET engineering skills) they acquire. In addition, an objective evaluation of the learning outcomes of 129 Secondary s…
