Explaining children’s failure in analogy making tasks: A problem of focus of attention?
2012
International audience; Analogical reasoning is commonly recognized as essential to human cognition, but young children often perform poorly in the classical A:B::C:? analogical reasoning task. Previous eye-tracking results have shown that children did not visually explore the A:B pair as much as adults in this task. We hypothesized that this lack of exploration could help account for the low scores of children in comparison to adults. The present study shows that children’ performance improves significantly if they are required to look at and process the A:B pair before they are shown the full A:B::C:? problem. This confirms our hypothesis that the A:B pair is insufficiently processed by c…
Networked Analysis of a Teaching Unit for Primary School Symmetries in the Form of an E-Book
2021
In mathematics education, technology offers many opportunities to enrich curricular contents. Plane symmetries is a topic often skipped by primary teachers. However, it is important and may be worked in attractive ways in dynamic geometry software environments. In any regular classroom there are students with different levels of mathematical attainment, some needing easy tasks while others, particularly mathematically-gifted students, need challenging problems. We present a teaching unit for plane symmetries, adequate for upper primary school grades, implemented in a fully interactive electronic book, with most activities solved in GeoGebra apps. The book allows student to choose which itin…

Working with Multiple Ontologies on the Semantic Web.
2016
The standardization of the second generation Web Ontology Language, OWL, leaves a crucial issue for Web-based ontologies unsatisfactorily resolved: how to represent and reason with multiple distinct, but linked, ontologies. OWL provides the owl:imports construct which, roughly, allows Web ontologies to include other Web ontologies, but only by merging all the linked ontologies into a single logical "space". Recent work on multidimensional logics, fusions and other combinations of modal logics, distributed and contextual logics, and the like have tried to find formalisms wherein knowledge bases (and their logic) are kept more distinct but yet affect each other. These formalisms have various …
Mètode multinivell per promoure la prosocialitat a l’escola: contribució a la formació en RSU
2019
espanolLa prosocialidad se refiere a las acciones socialmente beneficiosas, implicando conducta, emociones y razonamiento, y aqui se propone un metodo para llevar a cabo una intervencion en centros educativos para su promocion mediante una estrategia multinivel o cadena de favores. Antecedentes: aunque no existe un antecedente especifico del metodo propuesto, existen estudios acerca de la promocion de la prosocialidad en la escuela, centrados en la conducta, las emociones o los razonamientos, y el principal antecedente es el metodo de intervencion prosocial de Robert Roche (Escotorin y Roche, 2011; Roche, 1999, 1997; Romersi, Martinez-Fernandez y Roche, 2011), de la Universidad Autonoma de …
How do university students’ web search behavior, website characteristics, and the interaction of both influence students’ critical online reasoning?
2020
The Internet has become one of the main sources of information for university students’ learning. Since anyone can disseminate content online, however, the Internet is full of irrelevant, biased, or even false information. Thus, students’ ability to use online information in a critical-reflective manner is of crucial importance. In our study, we used a framework for the assessment of students’ critical online reasoning (COR) to measure university students’ ability to critically use information from online sources and to reason on contentious issues based on online information. In addition to analyzing students’ COR by evaluating their open-ended short answers, we also investigated the stude…
Ciudadanía democrática: ética, política y religión. XIX Conferencias Aranguren
2011
This article is comprised of two parts, bound together by the concept of <i>democratic citizenship</i>. The first part attempts to design the lines of <i>deliberative democracy</i> as the most appropriate model to embody the actual substance of democracy. That is why it presents the sense of deliberative democracy, its traits, its advantages compared with other models, the conditions for its start-up, its limits and the specific type of deliberative democracy that would be more adequate, and which receives the name of «communicative democracy»; all of this by way of dialogues with its main representatives. The second part addresses the specific questions of the <i…
Efectos de la formación académica y del género sobre las destrezas de razonamiento científico de los estudiantes de secundaria: un estudio piloto
2022
Resumen En este estudio se intenta determinar el nivel de las habilidades de razonamiento científico de los estudiantes de educación secundaria y analizar la influencia de la formación académica y del género sobre dichas habilidades. También se pretende conocer las habilidades que presentan mayor dificultad para estos estudiantes. Han participado 122 estudiantes españoles de cuatro niveles académicos diferentes entre 8º y 11º grado (edades entre 13 y 17 años) a los que se ha administrado el cuestionario de habilidades de razonamiento científico propuesto por Hanson (2016). De las puntuaciones obtenidas en el cuestionario y del ANOVA realizado puede concluirse que: a) el nivel medio de habil…
Consumers’ Willingness to Pay for Agri-Food Products Delivered with Electric Vehicles in the Short Supply Chains
2022
This study aims at investigating the consumers’ willingness to pay (WTP) for agri-food products delivered in the farmers markets with electric vehicles (EVs). The empirical analysis has been carried out by administering an online questionnaire to 273 consumers within a hypothetical context. A multiple price list has been provided in order to measure the price premium for 1 kg of oranges transported by EVs comparing with the ones transported by traditional vehicles. A Tobit regression model has been used for the data analysis in order to identify the most influential factors affecting the consumers’ WTP. Results suggest that consumers’ WTP is mainly influenced by environmental attitudes, kn…
La constitucionalidad del razonamiento inductivo
2011
RESUMENParte de las sentencias se basan en razonamientos inductivos, lo que implícitamente nos reconduce a la cuestión del problema de la probabilidad en sede judicial. El Tribunal Constitucional se ha enfrentado en numerosas ocasiones a la tesitura de confrontar la presunción de inocencia con el respeto a la autonomía de la valoración de la prueba por parte de los tribunales. Por ello, ha establecido una serie de requisitos que deben cumplir los razonamientos inductivos para que se consideren constitucionales. El problema que analizamos es que ese canon se basa en arcaísmos, frases hechas y lugares comunes, lo que genera mucha inseguridad en una temática tan susceptible de error, como es l…
