Evaluación del uso de un EVS y de mUVies en las aulas: una visión del profesorado y del alumnado

2019

[ES] La utilización de las Tecnologías de la Información y la Comunicación (TICs) y de las diferentes metodologías docentes innovadoras, que han hecho su aparición en un alto porcentaje de las materias que componen los actuales planes de estudio, ha resultado de gran ayuda en el proceso de autoaprendizaje del alumnado. Este es el caso de una asignatura de carácter cuantitativo del grado en Finanzas y Contabilidad de la Universitat de València. En el trabajo que se presenta, se expone, para el caso de dicha materia, la visión de cada uno de los agentes implicados en el proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje respecto al uso de un “electronic voting system” (EVS), los clickers, y de vídeos de apoyo …

Introducing Clicker Training as a Cognitive Enrichment for Laboratory Mice

2017

Establishing new refinement strategies in laboratory animal science is a central goal in fulfilling the requirements of Directive 2010/63/EU. Previous research determined a profound impact of gentle handling protocols on the well-being of laboratory mice. By introducing clicker training to the keeping of mice, not only do we promote the amicable treatment of mice, but we also enable them to experience cognitive enrichment. Clicker training is a form of positive reinforcement training using a conditioned secondary reinforcer, the "click" sound of a clicker, which serves as a time bridge between the strengthened behavior and an upcoming reward. The effective implementation of the clicker trai…

Student evaluation of clickers in a dental pathology course

2015

BACKGROUND: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the degree of satisfaction of students and teachers, and to determine whether the students notice improvements in learning and in the learning environment as a result of the use of clicker. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Descriptive study. Fifty-one students and 8 teachers participated in the use of clicker technology in 8 preclinical seminars in dental pathology. Students and teachers filled a three-domain questionnaire at the end of the preclinical course. We used the Mann-Whitney U-test to compare the results between the two groups. RESULTS: The domain "perception and expectation" showed the use of clickers to be simple and convenient for 80% …

Present and Future of the E-Learning in Economics Schools and Faculties

2018

<p class="Textoindependiente21">The goal of this paper is to justify/motivate the existence of MOOCs of quantitative subjects, particularly of Mathematics and Statistics, in the degrees taught in Faculties of Economics and Business, complementary to the standard university courses. The changes in curricula carried out in Spain in the last decade have boosted access to these faculties’ degrees for all kind of students. However, some of these students lack skills and abilities enough to successfully tackle the first university Mathematics and Statistics courses, as these are currently designed. Empirical studies support the use of multimedia material as a very effective supporting tool …

Using Clicker Training and Social Observation to Teach Rats to Voluntarily Change Cages.

2018

Cage cleaning is a routinely performed husbandry procedure and is known to induce stress in laboratory rats. As stress can have a negative impact on well-being and can affect the comparability and reproducibility of research results, the amount of stress experienced by laboratory animals should be minimized and avoided when possible. Further, the direct contact between the rat and animal caretaker during the cage change bears hygiene risks and therefore possibly negatively impacts the well-being of the rats and the quality of the research. Our protocol aims to improve the routinely performed cage changing procedure. For this reason, we present a feasible protocol that enables rats to learn …
