THE FLIPPED CLASSROOM: A MODEL EXPERIMENTED WITH UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS IN UNIVERSITY OF PALERMO
2016
This paper describes the results of an exploratory study, which examines the results of a flipped classroom trial conducted for 154 students. This work was carried out in a course of Docimology at University of Palermo for future teachers, during the first semester of the academic year 2015. In this article we present the methodology, the tools and the main results of the exploratory study. As the flip learning model based on students learning by themselves, it is especially well adapted to the university environment. Flipped learning allows for a much more interactive classroom lesson, with the teacher helping students when they are stuck as opposed to the traditional set-up of students pa…
The Main Controversies Over the Modernisation Process of the Ukrainian Higher Education System from the Perspective of Globalization / Główne Kontrow…
2014
Abstract The most significant process of the modern civilization advancement is globalization. The crucial tendencies of the world educational system development aim at strengthening the main role of knowledge as a component of employee workshop, often much more precious than the material part, originating from the employer. In 1991, due to globalization processes, Ukraine abandoned the Soviet higher education model, following the international scenario of the higher education development. In the last few years some propositions for reforms of the above system have appeared. The Draft Law on Higher Education approved in December 2012 has made the situation less clear. Currently, the provisi…
Decisions of higher education students according to the social environment. A conjecture based on reflexivity, biograficity and empirical research
2019
Este trabajo tiene como objetivo presentar una conjetura epistemológica que combina un marco de análisis basado en la capacidad reflexiva, como parte intrínseca del desarrollo de la investigación social cualitativa y que denominamos como el salto de lo empírico a lo teórico, además de incorporar la perspectiva teórica de la biograficidad para el estudio de las trayectorias educativas en educación superior. Esta propuesta surge desde nuestra propia experiencia investigadora adquirida en diversas investigaciones dentro de una línea sobre transiciones y trayectorias en educación superior en el sistema español. Para enmarcar este salto de lo empírico a lo teórico presentamos, como resultado, un…
¿Conocemos a nuestros estudiantes? Las creencias epistemológicas y el sistema de valores en el EEES
2013
El EEES hace especial hincapié en la programación por competencias y el trabajo autónomo del alumno. Pasan, pues, a primer plano las características cognitivas del estudiante como punto de partida y como resultado de aprendizaje. El presente trabajo analiza las creencias epistemológicas y el sistema de valores de 760 estudiantes de la Universitat de València desde un enfoque descriptivo. Para ello, se utilizó el cuestionario EBS (Wood y Kardash, 2002) y el Cuestionario de Valores (Schwartz, 1992). Los resultados muestran una relativa falta de ajuste de las creencias epistemológicas y el sistema de valores a las demandas del EEES. Estos resultados aportan información al profesorado para el d…
La planificación basada en competencias en los másteres oficiales: un reto para el profesorado universitario
2010
To focus the attention on competences means a radical change for the teaching design. It is one of the places where the most effective changes are expected. The research presented here tries to analyze the way that competences are used when describing official Master degrees. The competences of 87 Master degrees from 9 universities are analyzed. The results show that most Masters do not specify their competences. The most common ones refer to the knowledge application and that an enormous heterogeneity exists when classifying the types of competences. Desde la planificación docente, centrar la atención en las competencias supone un giro radical. Es uno de los elementos en los que se aspira …
La opinión de los graduados europeos sobre la universidad cinco años después de haber finalizado sus estudios
2011
In today¿s knowledge society, in which university graduates are required to obtain new abilities to adjust to the demands of the labour market, the figure of the ¿flexible professional¿ has emerged. Universities are not immune to these changes and are proposing modifications to the curricula. In this paper, we attempt to depict the views of university graduates regarding their university five years after completing their studies. Information about graduates¿ educational experience is crucial to educational managers in charge of designing curricula and educational policies. The data used in this paper are obtained from the REFLEX Survey.
Can We Buy Virtue? Implications from State University Funding On Musical Instrument Performance Teacher Mandate
2021
Recent world developments have put a strain on the humanities in general, and higher education music performance study degree-programmes in particular. In an educational system currently promoting consumer-product relationships where the music performance teacher is very much accountable for the students’ development into professional musicians and, recently, also sustainable world citizens, we must give more attention to what, whom and why we educate? This chapter is an armchair analytical philosophical continuation of a paper published elsewhere (Rolfhamre, 2020). Taking the lead from Julia Annas’ (2011) virtue-as-skill, I will, here, elaborate on what implications the Norwegian state hig…
Docentic vs. Estic: la acción innovadora desde una perspectiva transversal e integradora
2011
La acción innovadora desarrollada por la Unidad de Innovación Educativa de la Universitat de València oscila entre dos ejes: por un lado, el fomento de la innovación educativa a partir de las convocatorias anuales de innovación educativa en el profesorado (programas DocenTIC, Finestra Oberta, DocInvest y OCW, en la actualidad) y en el alumnado (programa ESTIC). Por otro lado, la UdIE actúa dando apoyo técnico, logístico y administrativo a la comunidad universitaria. Se pretende evaluar las distintas herramientas empleadas a lo largo del tiempo, haciendo un análisis más detallado del papel del estudiante en dicho proceso. Finalmente se presentarán las conclusiones de estas experiencias y se …
Informal use of social media in higher education: A case study of Facebook groups
2017
Abstract Recent research in Norway reveals significant differences between how students and educators in higher education report using social media in the context of university activities. Students seem to use such media at their own initiative and largely outside the academic agenda. This study looks further into students’ use of social media by means of a case study of four, student-initiated, Facebook groups created in connection with campus-based courses. The main function of such groups appears to lie in providing an arena for managing practical and social aspects of academic life and for asking for and disseminating information. Occasionally, academic contents are addressed by student…
