Master's thesis education EN502 - University of Agder 2018 The aim of this thesis is to explore scientific literature on the use of computer games as a tool for second language learning, and to use reviewed literature to create hypothetical classrooms sessions in which computer games are used as a tool. Therefore, the thesis question is “What does scientific literature say about the improvement of ESL skills among gamers? Moreover, might this information be helpful in the Norwegian English language classroom?” The work is structured as a three-part study, whereas the first is a literature review on studies related to computer games and language learning.

Extensive Reading and Language Accuracy Development in the ESL Classroom : A case study of extensive reading and lower secondary learner language in …
2021
Master´s thesis in English (EN502) Reading is an activity with many positive effects, one of which is arguably language improvement. This thesis aims to reinforce this claim by exploring the effects of extensive reading on language skills amongst Norwegian lower secondary school students through a comparative analysis of written pre-and post-texts. A qualitative approach is used to analyze and identify language development following a two-month extensive reading program in an 8th-grade classroom. Additionally, a semi-structured interview with the teacher of the class is carried out. The study reveals that the participating students did not significantly improve their language accuracy throu…
La Evaluación de Competencias en el marco de la implantación de los nuevos grados. La experiencia educativa del uso de la Técnica Póster
2016
Introduction. The European Higher Education Area requires implementing a teaching model centered on socio-constructivist principles of teaching and learning methodologies. Based on this, we analyze the effectiveness of the poster technique as a tool for learning and assessment of the acquisition of content and skills in the course of Psychology of Motivation and Emotion. Specifically, we evaluated the educational advantages offered by the preparation of a scientific poster for the acquisition of theoretical and practical content, and the development of cognitive, social and communicative skills. Methodology. 115 students on the 2nd Year University of Valencia Psychology Degree participated …
comunication strategies for the use of the ICT in teaching at secondary schools and VET
2015
In schools, the existence of good communication and the use of ICT is undoubtedly a factor of great weight for the integration of innovative teaching policies. A good communication ensures the dissemination of educational innovation processes adopted by the teachers and the coordination between centers. In this context, from an applied perspective, it is interesting to analyze the communication processes and their influence on the use of the ICT in teaching at secondary schools and vocational training centers in the Region of Murcia, Spain. This paper studies the influence of communication strategies on the success of the teaching innovation with ICT. The methodology is based on a survey de…
Spanish teachers' views of the goals of science education in secondary education
2002
The purpose of this work is to find out teachers' opinions regarding the goals and objectives of the teaching of science, within the frame of educational reform. We attempt to disclose to what extent educational thinking gives priority to the training of the students in scientific concepts, laws and theories needed in further courses (propedeutic training) and how this thinking pays less attention to the so-called scientific literacy which is meant to be the main object of the teaching of science according to the designers of the curriculum. To achieve this, we carried out a multiple and convergent experimental design with a number of samples of teachers. We found a confirmation that in sec…
Science in early childhood education: the perception of Spanish teachers during initial training
2019
Science teaching is present in the curriculum at all levels of education. However, little research has been done into what content is taught, how it is taught and what pupils actually learn at the pre-primary stage. In this paper, we will study student teachers' perception about what science teaching is being carried out in Second Cycle of Childhood Education classrooms (3-4-5 years). Using their experiences from teaching practice, a number of pre-school education degree students have ompleted a questionnaire through which to understand better the educational reality under study. The results reveal the limited attention given to certain content areas and the absence of key activities throug…
Primary educational strategies in times of digital curriculum content
2021
Our contribution is based on the most noteworthy results of a research project focusing on teaching strategies at a time when the contents of the primary education curriculum are becoming digital. The expansion of the digital content industry is forcing a paradigm shift. In this paper we analyse the strategies implemented by teachers of the fifth and sixth year of primary school in relation with the digitisation of curricular content. With this aim, we planned our research following ethnographic methodology, analysing a period of two years of a case study. The main data collection tools we used are the analysis of the centre's documents and website, semi-structured interviews with different…
PROSPECTIVE PRE-SCHOOL TEACHERS’ VIEWS ON STEM LEARNING IN GRADE 9: THE PRINCIPLE OF CONTINUITY IN EDUCATION
2022
The life quality of society and the stability of national economy is largely connected with science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). The complex character of STEM education demands informed teaching/learning strategies in order to make the 21st century youth interested in learning. The aim of the research was to find out the views of prospective pre-school teachers on Grade 9 students’ STEM learning, thus addressing the topical principle of continuity in education. A survey of 261 prospective pre-school teachers of the University of Latvia was performed. The obtained results show that in general the prospective pre-school teachers have some notion about the level of teachin…
Applied mathematics concepts Self-learning through the use of short educational videos
2019
It is sometimes difficult for the student to actively participate in the learning process due to the difficulty that teachers find when trying to cover all the contents of a course with sufficient time and attention. This lack of time prevents professors from properly stimulating the student's active participation in class, which is always necessary for achieving a deep and significant learning. The present paper describes a flipped-classroom-based methodology that fosters autonomous learning of applied mathematics contents through the use of short educational videos. The use of on-line media learning resources has dramatically increased in the last decade in higher education, not only unde…
Investigación e innovación en la Enseñanza de las Ciencias. Necesidad de una mayor vinculación.
2013
This paper analyzes the relationship between Research and Innovation in Science Teaching, showing a worrying disconnection of both activities. Two possible causes of this situation are considered: firstly, most teachers don¿t pay attention to science education research and even ignore the specific journals where this research is published; and secondly, researchers view innovation as mere application of research. As a result of these analyses, some proposals are advanced in order to make research more useful to improve science teaching and learning.
