Product development and project-based learning in Mechatronics, in the context of digitization and sustainability
2021
Engineering projects affect many of the UN’s sustainability goals. The development and design of new products and systems using a circular economy perspective is an important challenge towards a more sustainable society. Product development projects have common process characteristics, but methodologies, tools and methods differ for developing hardware (mechanical and electrical) or developing software. In Mechatronics such methods need to be combined, and product development and project-based learning is well suited for teaching and learning within Mechatronics, in addition to technical specialization subjects within both mechanical, electrical and software engineering. It is also suited f…

Learners’ identifies at stake: Digital identity texts in the ELF classroom
2018
Author/s María Dolores García-Pastor GIEL – Universitat de València, Spain ABSTRACT This paper focuses on the study of identity in digital identity texts produced by English as a foreign language (EFL) learners within a specific subject of the Teacher in Primary Education (English) degree at a Spanish university. To this end, 51 digital identity texts were analysed following a “positioning perspective”, which views identity in terms of “reflexive” and “interactive” positions (Davies & Harré 1990). Results show that learners constructed non-unitary identities whose subject positions were often contradictory. They also associated certain positions with silencing identities, transition ident…

Insegnare il problem solving nella scuola primaria. Contributi di ricerca.
2020
A partire dall’analisi della letteratura internazionale relativa al problem solving, il presente volume propone un intervento didattico rivolto agli alunni della scuola primaria, verificandone ampiamente gli effetti, anche sul piano metacognitivo ed affettivo, su un consistente campione di studenti. Il testo offre indicazioni operative, fondate su evidenze di ricerca, che consentono gradualmente agli studenti di acquisire un metodo di soluzione di problemi attraverso una comprensione autentica, che li abitui ad individuare più soluzioni, che li stimoli continuamente al controllo del proprio modo di procedere attraverso la riflessione metacognitiva, il modeling e il feedback nella discussion…
