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 …
Remarks on verbo-tonal phonetics for a communicative context
2018
El objetivo de este artículo es presentar algunas técnicas de corrección fonética a los profesores de lengua extranjera, especialmente a aquellos que trabajan en un contexto comunicativo (Arnold et al. 2005) y no están familiarizados con la clase de pronunciación. El artículo se divide en dos partes: en primer lugar, presentaremos las contribuciones más generales del Método verbo-tonal (Asp 2006; Berré (ed.), 2005; Billières, 2002, 2014; Calvo and Murillo, 2012; Dalmau et al., 1985; Guberina, 1956, 1961; Guberina and Murillo 2008; Murillo, 2002; Intravaia, 2002; Renard, 1971, 1979, 2010; Renard and van Vlasselaer 1976; Roberge, 2002; etc.); en segundo lugar, propondremos algunas técnicas pa…
Innovative Analysis of Service-Learning Effects in Physical Education: A Mixed-Methods Approach
2020
Purpose: To compare the development of teaching competency in preservice teachers of physical education (n = 96) through two different modalities of intervention from the same service-learning program. The preservice teachers provided a direct service to children with motor functional diversity, promoting their motor skills and counteracting their lack of social attention. Method: The topic was approached using mixed methods with methodological triangulation. Quantitative evidence was gathered through a quasi-experimental design of two nonequivalent experimental groups implementing the following instrument: the Teaching Competency while performing Motor Skills and Body Language Games Rubric…

The UNIVECS Evaluation System in Mexican Universities: Discussion About Social Cohesion with Teachers and Students
2021
The main objective of the UNIVECS (Study conducted as part of the Project: UNIVECS “Validating an evaluation system of university degrees based on a Social Cohesion model” (Ref. EDU2016-78065R), financed by the Spanish Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness, and supported by EU FEDER funds.) project is to know the extent to which the institution moves towards social cohesion as a benchmark to evaluate university careers, and to observe which contributions are made in relation to the study object. The objective of the study that we present, conducted in Mexican universities, is to provide evidence for validating the Evaluation Model and its adaptation in Mexico (“Cultural Validation of the …

Situational expectancies and task values: Associations with students' effort
2017
Abstract According to expectancy-value theory, expectancies and task values are precursors for investing effort into learning. To date, it remains largely unknown (1) to what extent expectancies and values change from one learning situation to another and (2) to what extent inter-individual findings reflect intra-individual motivational processes. We applied an intensive longitudinal design in a sample of 155 pre-service teacher students attending a lecture. Across ten lessons with varying topics, students reported three times per lesson on their situational effort, expectancies, task values (intrinsic, attainment, utility), and cost. We used multilevel structural equation modeling with lea…
How accurate are teachers and support specialists when judging students' literacy skills? Special educational service as an external factor influenci…
2022
The aim of the study was to examine the accuracy of Estonian teachers' and support specialists' judgements of students' spelling skills and reading fluency and to investigate the provision of special education services to students as a factor influencing teachers' judgements. The sample included 11 classroom teachers, 8 support specialists, and 187 third-grade students. The judgements were collected using scales, and students' literacy skills were assessed using group and individual tests. The results indicated that judgements of reading fluency were less accurate than those of spelling skills. In addition, the provision of special education services influenced teachers' judgements, directi…
Towards a characterization of explanations in mathematics textbooks
2013
This work is part of a broader study which aims to examine the relation between explanation and proof in teachers’ practices and the way in which this relation emerges from the texts in the mathematics schoolbooks. Our hypothesis is that explanation and proof share some of their characterizing parameters and this makes possible an overlapping of meaning which favors a switch of roles during teaching/learning activities. First results from textbooks analysis are presented pointing out remarkable features of explanation arisen to date.
English teachers’ motives for joining teaching specific Facebook groups and the perceived usefulness of them
2018
Erilaiset sosiaaliset mediat ja niiden käytön laajeneminen on ollut yksi suurimmista puheenaiheista teknologian saralla viimeisen parin vuosikymmenen aikana. Suurin ja eniten käyttäjiä keräävä sosiaalisen median kanava nykypäivänä on Facebook. Alusta onkin herättänyt suurta kiinnostusta myös koulutuksen ja opetuksen tutkimuksen saralla. Suurin osa aiemmin tehdystä tutkimuksesta on keskittynyt Facebookin soveltuvuuteen opetusalustana, opiskelijoiden väliseen kommunikointiin sekä kuinka opettajan Facebookin käyttö vaikuttaa hänen uskottavuuteensa. Täten opettajien välistä kommunikointia Facebookissa ei ole juurikaan tutkittu. Tämän kandidaatintutkielman tehtävänä oli selvittää, miksi suomalai…
