Robust Assembly Assistance Using Informed Tree Search with Markov Chains
2022
Manual work accounts for one of the largest workgroups in the European manufacturing sector, and improving the training capacity, quality, and speed brings significant competitive benefits to companies. In this context, this paper presents an informed tree search on top of a Markov chain that suggests possible next assembly steps as a key component of an innovative assembly training station for manual operations. The goal of the next step suggestions is to provide support to inexperienced workers or to assist experienced workers by providing choices for the next assembly step in an automated manner without the involvement of a human trainer on site. Data stemming from 179 experiment partici…
Legal and forensic psychology in Spain: A study of official masters and degrees in Spanish universities
2018
[ES]: La disparidad de áreas de la Psicología Jurídica requiere de una formación especializada. La formación de posgrado a través de la oferta de másteres oficiales y títulos propios posibilita una formación de calidad en esta área. Actualmente existen 4 másteres oficiales y 11 másteres propios, repartidos en universidades por todo el territorio español y abarcan gran parte de las áreas de intervención del psicólogo jurídico y forense. Mientras que los másteres oficiales cuentan con un número similar de créditos, principalmente de naturaleza presencial y con prácticas obligatorias, en los másteres de títulos propios los créditos varían de 60 a 80 créditos, con escasa capacidad optativa, pre…
Perceptions of Colombian Teachers about the Didactics of Social Sciences
2022
The article seeks to answer the question about the perceptions that teachers have in training and in practice on the didactics of the social sciences in Colombia. To this end, a method with an interpretative approach with a mixed design is used to integrate the quantitative and qualitative analysis of the data produced on these perceptions in the context of basic and secondary education. The results present from the perceptions of teachers some correlations between the didactics they claim to use and the way in which it is expressed in their pedagogical practice. The conclusions contribute to the design, implementation, and evaluation of educational policies in education, especially those a…
The necessary skills in higher education: Validation of competences
2012
This paper tries to show which competences have an impact on the success of students in higher education and especially in the first academic year. This situation also requires finding a way to acquire the competences which are necessary in this new experience that is the first year. A student is considered to be a person who has the basic competences required. Our role is to show how this person in higher education can acquire the other new competences that help him/her attain the positive results that we name ''success''. Normally, the higher education is a new experience because he/she has never been in these situations before. To reach this goal we will first demonstrate a method to con…
Percepción del cambio climático en alumnado de 4º del Grado en Educación Primaria (Universidad de Valencia, España) a partir de la información de los…
2021
El cambio climático, sus causas y efectos suponen uno de los principales desafíos del siglo XXI. La enseñanza sobre este fenómeno constituye un reto para la formación de los/as futuros/as maestros/as de Primaria debido a la responsabilidad docente sobre la comprensión y posible adaptación a este fenómeno global. Los objetivos de este trabajo son: 1) Explorar y conocer los principales medios desde donde los/as futuros/as maestros/as de Primaria reciben información sobre el cambio climático; y 2) Reconocer las causas y consecuencias que se aluden en estos medios (según la percepción de los/as estudiantes) para identificar la concepción que se tiene sobre este fenómeno. A modo de estudio de ca…
Management and Human Factors: Exploratory Research With Focus Groups
2018
The article analyzes the training needs of managers belonging to public and private companies in the Region of Sicily, Italy, using focus groups. Fifty-two managers took part in the research—32 executives and 20 employees with intermediate positions in collaboration with senior management. This is a qualitative research with explorative purposes whose approach is part of the symbolic interactionism paradigm. Data analysis, supported by the Atlas.ti software, has permitted the coding of the meanings underlying the text of the narratives and identifying four “code families” as key themes of the observed reality. A managerial profile emerges that, moving between critical issues and resources, …
Towards Technology-Supported Surgical Training
2008
Technology offers alternatives for training surgeons with patients and also possibilities to take part in surgical learning from afar, outside the operating room (OR). Simulated and other technical training tools provide opportunities to practice surgical skills in undisturbed learning environments. In order to implement effective educational methods and create new environments for learning, we need to find out what skills a surgeon must learn and what are the elements affecting surgical performance. This paper describes a study designed to investigate surgical processes and presents an exploratory way of gathering data by combining video material with interviews. The suitability of triangu…
Promoting Surgical Residents’ Basic Skills via the Design and Implementation of a Simulation Training Tool
2019
Background. Surgical training in authentic work environments needs guidance practices, including simulation training within a competence-based framework. The use of simulators may actually have negative effects on professional learning if there is a lack of competence-based goals, tools, and guidance, integrated with work practices, and applied by trainers. Intervention. We designed simulation training tools to promote the surgical residents’ abilities to perform competently in basic surgical skills. Our educational and surgical team worked together and (i) specified the goals for the tasks, (ii) specified the skills to be achieved, (iii) and analyzed the learning outcomes. The assumption …
Teacher training paths between neuroeducation and professional learning community
2016
This paper starts from the belief that a school capable of feeling and making community is regarded as a privileged context to promote both organizational and relational well-being. Teacher training is possible in the intersection between the concepts of Neuroeducation and learning community. Moreover, the concept of "school-as-a-community" interacts with that of "peer learning", which is configured as a methodology capable of simultaneously promoting the ability of realization of the individual and of the organization. From a methodological point of view, this work documents a research project carried out with a group of 69 teachers of the first cycle of education. Moving from the problems…
