Towards expert knowledge? A comparison between a constructivist and a traditional learning environment in the university

The primary purpose of the study was to compare the learning outcomes of students who studied the course material in a constructivist learning environment with those of students who learned it under traditional teaching and studying conditions. Students in the constructivist learning environment acquired more diversified knowledge. In addition, a the…
Implications for European Physical Education Teacher Education during the COVID-19 pandemic: a cross-institutional SWOT analysis
2020
The present study, using a sample of Physical Education Teacher Education (PETE) representatives from five Higher Education European institutions (England, Finland, Greece, Ireland, and Portugal) sought to investigate the proposed measures of change required for programme delivery during the academic year of 2020–21. Each team completed a SWOT (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats) examination through inductive cross-analysis, using a deductive structure, following the dimensions of: PETE Programme; PETE Staff; PETE Students. The findings presented at a case level show how each PETE programme is seeking to manage an important tension between the experiential nature of Physical E…

History teaching: real problems and interessed polemics
2006
En diversos países se ha tratado de poner límites a las innovaciones educativas, de diverso calado, que se estaban produciendo en la enseñanza de la historia, con la intención de retornar a un modelo de enseñanza más próximo a sus características tradicionales, a pesar de las muy razonadas críticas que este modelo tradicional había recibido. Las razones aducidas para tal reversión han variado de un país a otro, pero el objetivo compartido ha sido el de establecer unos programas más dirigistas y cerrados, de tipo marcadamente enciclopédico, en los que las posibilidades de actuación innovadora del profesorado, por una parte, y las de un aprendizaje más razonado del alumnado, por la otra, qued…

Augmented lectures: Benefits of supporting physics teaching with the theatre
2019
Abstract Young generations are less and less interested in studying STEM subjects. For this reason, numerous studies have strongly suggested a change in the methods scientific knowledge is developed in the learners, through the use of alternative and more creative strategies. In recent decades a strong interaction between scientific subjects and the arts has been established by means of theatre. The objective is to bring science to students and the public in ways that are engaging, instructive, artistic and, always, content-driven: the medium is the arts; the message is the joy of science. When we talk about Physics in a theatre show, are we only making a good dissemination or are we also t…
