How to assist the students while learning from text? Effects of inserting adjunct questions on text processing
2022
AbstractThis study analyzes the effect of text-inserted questions and post-text-reading questions, i.e., questions timing, on students’ processing and learning when studying challenging texts. Seventy-six freshmen read two science texts and answered ten adjunct questions with the text available, being tested on learning 5 days afterwards. Questions were presented either after reading the whole text or inserted in the text after reading the relevant information. Online processing data were recorded while reading and searching the texts, and measures of processing strategies (i.e., paraphrases, elaborations) while answering the questions were collected. Compared to students in the post-readin…
Conocimientos y procesos cognitivos en la resolución de problemas: consecuencias para la enseñanza
2008
Este artículo presenta una visión en conjunto de las investigaciones sobre la base de conocimientos y los procesos cognitivos implicados en la resolución de problemas, y cómo éstos afectan el desempeño de los estudiantes cuando resuelven los problemas. En la base de conocimientos se discute el conocimiento declarativo, el procedimental,el estratégico, el situacional y el esquemático. Entre los procesos cognitivos se habla del razonamiento formal, construcción de modelos mentales, transferencia de conocimientos y metacognición. A partir de todo ello, se sugiere una serie de medidas instruccionales que pueden tener aplicación en el aula de ciencias.
Influence of Teacher and Family Support on University Student Motivation and Engagement
2021
Although many studies endorse the notion that the way students perceive support influences their engagement, very few have explored the possible mediator role of intention to learn between these variables. The present work provides new evidence to the existing literature because it analyses the work of intention to learn (measured with expectancy–value beliefs and achievement goals) as a mediating motivational variable in the relation between university students’ external support (teacher and family) and their engagement. The Educational Situation Quality Model (MOCSE, its acronym in Spanish) has employed as a theoretical framework to perform this analysis. A sample of 267 Spanish universit…
Dificultades de aprendizaje y cambio conceptual, procedimental y axiológico (II): nuevas perspectivas
2009
En este trabajo veremos como las ciencias cognitivas, las neurociencias, los estudios CTS, la educacion cientifica no formal, etc., ofrecen nuevas posibilidades de avance en el campo del aprendizaje de conceptos, procedimientos y actitudes, y tambien veremos otras perspectivas que amplian el dominio usual de la didactica de las ciencias. Por ultimo, se muestra como los modelos de ensenanza deben tener en cuenta estas dimensiones del aprendizaje de las ciencias, para contribuir a la solucion de los nuevos problemas que se plantean sobre la educacion cientifica.Palabras clave: ciencias cognitivas; neurociencias; estudios CTSA; ensenanza, aprendizaje.Learning difficulties and conceptual, metho…
Las competencias básicas en la nueva generación de estudiantes universitarios: Una experiencia de Innovación.
2017
[EN] This contribution presents an innovative teaching experience dedicated to developing core competencies in the university student by activating educational practices and evaluation procedures that seek to promote and maximize various competitions. This experiencie has been implemented in different degrees of the University of Valencia during the academic years 2011-12, 2012-13, 2013-14 and 2014-15. Participating in the study 1285 students through accidental sampling accessibility. After developing a survey methodology based on descriptive-exploratory analyzes data collected allow us to know what is the degree of control perceived by university students around the following core competen…
Nonverbal Communication in the EFL classroom
2016
In recent years a number of researchers have stressed the importance of nonverbal communication - especially Kinesics - in the teaching and learning of languages (Bernsen, 2002; Jung, 2003; González, 2004; Querol-Julián and Belles-Fortuño, 2010; Surkamp, 2014). This paper aims to investigate the importance of gestures in the communication process and how the appropriate use of nonverbal communication enhances classroom interaction and contributes to conveying meaning. EFL language teaching can benefited from nonverbal communication when this is used in an effective way. The paper examines a small corpus of two videos taken from YouTube in which EFL teachers' discourse and co-speech gestures…
Aprender Ciencia con textos: Bases teóricas y directrices
2009
In this work we analyse the cognitive processes and the variables that take part in texts comprehension. We present the textual characteristics that, in physical sciences, favour the elaboration of the mental representation called situation model, for his important role in comprehension. Finally, we emphasize the aspects of the activities (questions, problem solving, practical work) that improve learning from texts of physical sciences.
Diagramas: ¿Ilustraciones eficaces en la instrucción en ciencias?
1996
The widespread use of diagrams as science learning resources suggests they are considered to be effective aids to instruction. However, there appears to be a number of possible barriers to the realisation of their instructional potential. The role of scientific diagrams in learning is discussed with articular reference to problems that may be presented by them
La participación del alumnado de magisterio en la construcción de un entorno virtual de aprendizaje. Análisis a partir del grupo de discusión
2013
The present work arises from the conviction on the essential need to inform to what extent the students involvement in the construction of a Learning Management System (LMS), can help to improve its functioning and the learning of the students. Specifically, it deeps on such learning process of the students on Primary Education Teaching in the University of Valencia, who are actively participating on the LMS for the ¿History of the School¿ course. In order to do so, on a methodological level, we have develop the discussion group. This qualitative technic permits to obtain qualitative material around their perceptions, interests, motivations, and attitudes related to LMS, as well as its poss…
El modelo constructivista y las relaciones Ciencia, Técnica, Sociedad
1992
SUMMARY The importance of the relations Science/Technology/Society with teaching and its convergence with the constructivist model in the science teaching-learning process, is shown in this paper. In the same way, the consequences to the students arisen from the lack of these relations in the daily teaching, are also shown.
