Enseñar y aprender convivencia. Análisis de un programa socioeducativo práctico de mejora de la participación democrática en 2º ciclo de educación in…
2016
espanolHoy en dia continuan siendo muchos los centros educativos que perciben la necesidad de trabajar en aras de mejorar la convivencia escolar. Se trata de una preocupacion de la totalidad de los profesionales de la educacion, si bien, en este trabajo, nos centraremos en el 2.o ciclo de Educacion Infantil, etapa clave para el inicio de un proceso formativo de calidad. Nuestro objetivo va dirigido a valorar los efectos y resultados del diseno y aplicacion de un programa socioeducativo de convivencia, integrado por diversas estrategias de intervencion, implantado en un Centro de Accion Educativa Singular (CAES) de la ciudad de Valencia. Se ha utilizado un diseno cuasiexperimental pretest-po…
Relación entre formación universitaria y competencia mediática del profesorado
2019
Este trabajo muestra el vínculo entre los niveles de competencia mediática del profesorado no universitario y la formación recibida por el profesorado de acuerdo con los actuales currículos universitarios en España. A partir de nuestro análisis, que se llevó a cabo a partir de los currículos de todas las universidades españolas con formación en educación (un total de 252 grados) y de un diagnóstico de competencia mediática de profesores no universitarios (906 sujetos) de nueve provincias españolas, llegamos a la conclusión de que existe una relación coherente entre estas dimensiones. En otras palabras, las deficiencias en la competencia mediática del personal docente no universitario son un…
Protocol: A literature review about the use of crowdsourcing in educational environments
2016
<p>The objective with the protocol described in this paper is to review the existing literature in relation to the implementation of crowdsourcing in educational environments. It seeks to give answer to 4 questions. First, it seeks to answer the question of which kind of crowdsourcing initiatives are more appropriate to be used for educational activities. In second place it’s important to find out whether there is any particular discipline in which crowdsourcing, by its nature, can be applied more naturally. Third, it seeks to identify which factors influence both positively and negatively in the teaching/learning experience using crowdsourcing. Finally, the last question to answer, t…
Health science student teachers’ perceptions of teacher competence:a qualitative study
2020
Background. Health science teacher competence is multifaceted and continuously changing according to national and international healthcare standards. Organizational restructuring and emphasis on cost effectiveness is changing the scope of health science teachers' practical work and their role in healthcare (worldwide). Aim. This study aimed to describe student teachers' perceptions of the competencies needed to work as an educator in the healthcare field. Objective of study was to gain new knowledge which can be used in the development of teacher education programs in nursing science and to define a broader definition of the health science educators. Methods. A qualitative study was conduct…
DAE-GP
2020
Estimation of distribution genetic programming (EDA-GP) algorithms are metaheuristics where sampling new solutions from a learned probabilistic model replaces the standard mutation and recombination operators of genetic programming (GP). This paper presents DAE-GP, a new EDA-GP which uses denoising autoencoder long short-term memory networks (DAE-LSTMs) as probabilistic model. DAE-LSTMs are artificial neural networks that first learn the properties of a parent population by mapping promising candidate solutions to a latent space and reconstructing the candidate solutions from the latent space. The trained model is then used to sample new offspring solutions. We show on a generalization of t…
Scatter Search for the Point-Matching Problem in 3D Image Registration
2008
Scatter search is a population-based method that has recently been shown to yield promising outcomes for solving combinatorial and nonlinear optimization problems. Based on formulations originally proposed in the 1960s for combining decision rules and problem constraints, such as the surrogate constraint method, scatter search uses strategies for combining solution vectors that have proved effective in a variety of problem settings. We present a scatter-search implementation designed to find high-quality solutions for the 3D image-registration problem, which has many practical applications. This problem arises in computer vision applications when finding a correspondence or transformation …
On sampling error in evolutionary algorithms
2021
The initial population in evolutionary algorithms (EAs) should form a representative sample of all possible solutions (the search space). While large populations accurately approximate the distribution of possible solutions, small populations tend to incorporate a sampling error. A low sampling error at initialization is necessary (but not sufficient) for a reliable search since a low sampling error reduces the overall random variations in a random sample. For this reason, we have recently presented a model to determine a minimum initial population size so that the sampling error is lower than a threshold, given a confidence level. Our model allows practitioners of, for example, genetic pro…
EMERGING PROPERTIES IN POPULATION DYNAMICS WITH DIFFERENT TIME SCALES
1995
The aim of this work is to show that at the population level, emerging properties may occur as a result of the coupling between the fast micro-dynamics and the slow macrodynamics. We studied a prey-predator system with different time scales in a heterogeneous environment. A fast time scale is associated to the migration process on spatial patches and a slow time scale is associated to the growth and the interactions between the species. Preys go on the spatial patches on which some resources are located and can be caught by the predators on them. The efficiency of the predators to catch preys is patch-dependent. Preys can be more easily caught on some spatial patches than others. Perturbat…
On the Bias of Syntactic Geometric Recombination in Genetic Programming and Grammatical Evolution
2015
For fixed-length binary representations as used in genetic algorithms, standard recombination operators (e.g.,~one-point crossover) are unbiased. Thus, the application of recombination only reshuffles the alleles and does not change the statistical properties in the population. Using a geometric view on recombination operators, most search operators for fixed-length strings are geometric, which means that the distances between offspring and their parents are less than, or equal to, the distance between their parents. In genetic programming (GP) and grammatical evolution (GE), the situation is different since the recombination operators are applied to variable-length structures. Thus, most r…
The Tax Justice Network-Africa v Cabinet Secretary for National Treasury &amp; 2 Others: A Big Win for Tax Justice Activism?
2019
This paper develops an optimization model for selecting a large subsample that improves the representativeness of a simple random sample previously obtained from a population larger than the population of interest. The problem formulation involves convex mixed-integer nonlinear programming (convex MINLP) and is therefore NP-hard. However, the solution is found by maximizing the “constant of proportionality” – in other words, maximizing the size of the subsample taken from a stratified random sample with proportional allocation – and restricting it to a p-value high enough to achieve a good fit to the population of interest using Pearson’s chi-square goodness-of-fit test. The beauty of the m…
