Internet Cafés in Asia and Africa Venues for Education and Learning?
2007
ABSTRACT
 This paper examines the use of Internet cafés in two developing countries; Indonesia and Tanzania. The research is based on surveys of about 500 respondents in the two countries, supported by in-depth interviews. The findings show that Internet cafés are used for competence development today, and that they have the potential to be suitable arenas for human resource development for a wide range of users. For the users, access speed and price are important obstacles to increased use. More research is needed to see how Internet cafés can attract new user-groups to help reduce the digital divide within a developing country.

Cómo abordar el desarrollo de una competencia transversal compleja mediante el alineamiento constructivo
2019
[EN] We present a model based on activities for the acquisition of essential competences of the scientific-technical qualifications, developed throughout the course of Cell Biology of the 1st year of the Degree in Biotechnology. For example, the search and analysis of bibliographic information and the design and interpretation of experiments are closely related and very important competences in the training of the biotechnologist, however they are not well contemplated in a specific way in the study plans. The proposed activities, designed under the premises of the constructive alignment of Biggs and Tang, develop these competences jointly and within the framework of a single subject.

A rubric was designed to evaluate the cases which was accessible to the students. The cases were proposed in the exam, in particular, cases related to four lessons which are usually complicated to students and the results obtained for these cases were compared with the results obtained in the questions (presented in a theoretical way) o…
La dimensión social del lenguaje como una oportunidad educativa para la promoción del diálogo intercultural en el aula de Educación Superior
2021
[EN] For some time, it has been considered the need to approach the educational experience to the student sociocultural reality in the context of a classroom in Higher Education. This need is even more evident in the context of international exchange programs, in which the main objective is precisely to provide a space for mutual enrichment between the student's culture of origin and the host culture. In this sense, the “Grup d’Acompanyament Lingüístic” (GRUPal) works to promote the intercultural dialogue that inevitably and spontaneously takes place in and outside the classroom. The purpose of this paper is to present a didactic intervention based on inclusion and cooperative exchange as w…

Tracing Curiosity with a Value Perspective
2017
Several have challenged the idea that educating is a neutral endeavour. Following this line of thought, this article intends to examine a common concept often taken for granted: curiosity. The aim of the article is to show how curiosity is constructed as a value-loaded notion by tracing its understandings in an early-childhood-education-and-care (ECEC) context from a value perspective. Four official ECEC documents from different organisational levels will be analysed. Informed by qualitative content analysis with a concept-driven strategy, the document analysis seeks to establish connections between the notion of curiosity and prominent value fields in ECEC, such as competence, democracy an…
Le développement des compétences transversales en vue de favoriser l'employabilité transfrontalière : le rôle de la mobilité internationale
2018
International audience; Cette contribution a pour objectif d’identifier les compétences transversales et interculturelles que des étudiants en gestion, santé et ingénierie d’une institution de formation supérieure suisse romande développent dans le cadre de leur expérience de mobilité internationale et d’examiner dans quelle mesure ces compétences particulières favorisent l’insertion sur le marché du travail. S’appuyant sur des méthodes mixtes (qualitatives et quantitatives), l’étude exploratoire exposée démontre que si le séjour à l’étranger demeure un moyen efficace pour affermir d’autres compétences que celles purement techniques ou académiques, sa valorisation au moment de la recherche …
