Satisfaction analysis of 'food safety and quality management' master degree's students with the 'comunicat' methodology for the enhancement of the 'e…
2019
The main goal of the present study is to analyze the satisfaction level of the students from the master degree "Food Safety and Quality Management" with the "ComunicaT" methodology, which was applied to improve the mastery level of the "Effective Oral Communication" student outcome. This methodology is being developed under an innovative and educational improvement research project funded by the Universitat Politècnica de València, and the general idea behind it is that the student, after performing an auto-diagnosis test, becomes capable to autonomously improve its oral communication skills. Thereby, the student, starting from his initial mastery level on this student outcome, follows a se…
THE CONE OF EXPERIENCE IN TEACHING MATHEMATICS SYNCHRONOUSLY AND ASYNCHRONOUSLY
2021
Teaching online is a new challenge for every single teacher. Mathematics in particular remains the school subject that requires special teaching tools. This article describes Edgar Dale’s «Cone of experience» and Bruner’s learning approaches for synchronous and asynchronous teaching in Mathematics. It also describes the most important tools that can be used for online teaching in a combination of both formats, asynchronous and synchronous. These teaching methods are described not only in terms of digital tools, but also in terms of Jerome Bruner’s theories on information processing.
Challenges in developing in-service teacher training: Lessons learnt from two projects for teachers of Swedish in Finland
2017
Teacher education in Finland is widely respected and of high quality. However, there is a recognised need to develop the educational continuum from pre-service education to in-service training. This article deals with challenges connected to in-service teacher training. Based on two projects, consisting of seven one-month courses for teachers of Swedish in Finland, we reflect on the challenges we encountered during the three-year process. In our research, theory and practice, but also data and methods, have been intertwined, as we have studied the phenomenon by using exploratory practice (Allwright, 2003). The projects and the study were based on a thorough literature review. During the pla…
Enhancing the Readership of Teacher Students With Digital Book Subscription Services
2020
This article aims to illustrate a 7-month trial of digital book subscription services in teacher education. Student teachers of the University of Turku in Finland were encouraged to implement the service as part of their free time reading. The experiences of the digital subscription service were investigated using a questionnaire, and data were analyzed through a combination of qualitative analysis and quantitative analysis. The aim of the study was to consider the value of digital book subscription services in terms of reading for pleasure and to describe the readership of teacher students as well as their assessment of digital book subscription services as a pedagogical approach for suppo…
La alfabetización digital y los géneros discursivos. Un proyecto de escritura digital con alumnos de cuarto de secundaria obligatoria (15-16 años)
2009
The concept of digital literacy, as a set of abilities to use Information and Communication Technologies, has gained nowadays a dimension which goes beyond instrumentalityability to use different technological resources and could be defined as the acquisition of competences related to the search, analysis, selection and communication of data and information which allow students to transform information into knowledge. Having this in mind and within the didactic tradition of language projects, we have carried out an experience involving students of 4th year of ESO (Compulsory Secondary School) during the school year 2006-2007. It has basically consisted in the elaboration of language and lit…
SimReal+ i matematikkundervisning på universitetsnivå En studie av lærerens orkestreringer i relasjon til verktøyets nytteverdi for studentene
2015
Masteroppgave matematikkdidaktikk- Universitetet i Agder, 2015 This thesis is a case study conducted in the first year of engineering studies at the University of Agder. The course observed is physics, where the software SimReal+ is integrated into the teaching. The study focuses the mathematical part of the course related to differentiation and integration. In my study, I focus on both the lecturer and students taking the course. The study examines the teacher-orchestrations that can be identified in lectures and exercises, and perceptions students have related to the usefulness of SimReal+ and some teacher-orchestrations. My research questions are: 1. What types of teacher-orchestrations …
Students of Religion Studying Social Conflict Through Simulation and Modelling: An Exploration
2020
Researchers at our university use modelling and simulation (M&S) to study religious conflicts, and we wanted to introduce undergraduate students of religion to this research approach. Hence, we started a three-year educational design research project to empirically study ways to introduce these students to M&S as a viable research method in their discipline. The research project will entail several iterations, which aim to have a feasible and effective design of lessons and a better understanding of the learning processes. The first iteration was exploratory and is reported here. For this exploration, we organised a seminar, which was videotaped for post hoc analysis. The seminar started wi…
The Information and Communication Technologies in the school sys-tem. A review of the research lines
2005
This paper offers a classification of research trends and perspectives about processes oriented to incorporate information and communication technologies (ICT) in schools. Identified are four research trends: a) studies about indicators of computers quantity in school systems; b) studies about computer effects in learning; c) studies about opinion, perspectives and attitudes of educational agents to ICT; and d) studies about computers' educational use in classroom and colleges. This paper finishes with a synthesis of current knowledge about projects and programs intended for the embodiment of ICT in school systems.

Dynamics of undergraduate engineering students’ learning activities in mathematics in an online and in a blended environment
2020
Paper IV is not published yet. This thesis reports from a research study which investigates the role of technology rich environments in undergraduate engineering students’ processes of learning mathematics. The research is founded within a naturalistic research paradigm (Lincoln, 2007) and adopts a case study design (Yin, 2014). The two cases under consideration comprise a small group of undergraduate electronics engineering students, selected as participants, from an online and a blended learning environment (Borba et al., 2016). The first case study of online environment incorporates an online system, MyMathLab, for homework and assessment, and tutorial videos for the lectures in a calcul…
