Percepciones sobre materiales didácticos y la formación en competencia digital
2018
En este trabajo exponemos un analisis sobre la percepcion de los agentes educativos en relacion con la seleccion, uso y creacion de los materiales didacticos digitales, asi como un analisis de la oferta formativa en diversas plataformas educativas. En el estudio realizado han participado representantes de diferentes agentes y estamentos relacionados con la educacion como: Administracion, editoriales, familias, profesorado y alumnado de la Comunidad Valenciana. Para la recogida de la informacion se han utilizado tanto entrevistas semiestructuradas, individuales y grupales, como un analisis de contenido de una seleccion de plataformas institucionales, de editoriales y de asociaciones del prof…
La aplicación TurningPoint como herramienta de aprendizaje transformacional en los procesos educativos
2016
El proyecto de convergencia educativa impulsado por el Espacio Europeo de Educación Superior (EEES) ha generado nuevas metodologías docentes y procesos de evaluación en los sistemas de educación universitarios. Este nuevo planteamiento pedagógico genera una incuestionable oportunidad para que los distintos segmentos de la comunidad universitaria vean en las TIC una herramienta fundamental para la elaboración de contenidos docentes que faciliten el proceso enseñanza-aprendizaje. Este artículo presenta la herramienta TurningPoint, la cual se centra en favorecer la interacción docente-alumno, facilitando la participación y la evaluación continua. Esta herramienta presenta ventajas frente a otr…
El pensamiento computacional en contextos educativos: una aproximación desde la Tecnología Educativa
2019
El pensamiento computacional ha vivido un resurgir en los últimos años, en los que la comunidad científica y educativa ha puesto su foco de interés sobre él como un aspecto relevante a incorporar de manera curricular. No obstante, la falta de consenso respecto a qué es y cómo trabajarlo tiene como resultado que se aborde de diferentes formas en la educación, lo que repercute directamente en el aprendizaje del alumnado. Desde enfoques más técnicos, que tienen el riesgo de no permitir aprovechar el potencial que tiene de ser integrado en la estrategia didáctica del docente, a enfoques más transversales, que sí profundizan en las posibilidades que tiene en el ámbito de la didáctica, pero que a…
Aprendizaje cooperativo a través de las nuevas tecnologías: Una revisión
2018
Las Tecnologias de la Informacion y la Comunicacion han supuesto una autentica revolucion en el ambito educativo, provocando cambios estructurales en la forma de ensenar y en la manera de aprender. Actualmente, la existencia de una gran variedad de plataformas virtuales de ensenanza-aprendizaje permiten al profesorado y alumnado interactuar de forma sincrona o asincrona haciendo uso de ordenadores y dispositivos moviles. Esto ha favorecido la implementacion de metodologias activas de ensenanza-aprendizaje de contrastada eficacia pedagogica que, como es el caso del aprendizaje cooperativo, favorecen que los estudiantes adquieran competencias y mejoren sus resultados academicos. Pese al inter…
Measurement of the Lund jet plane using charged particles in 13 TeV proton-proton collisions with the ATLAS detector
2020
The prevalence of hadronic jets at the LHC requires that a deep understanding of jet formation and structure is achieved in order to reach the highest levels of experimental and theoretical precision. There have been many measurements of jet substructure at the LHC and previous colliders, but the targeted observables mix physical effects from various origins. Based on a recent proposal to factorize physical effects, this Letter presents a double-differential cross-section measurement of the Lund jet plane using 139 fb−1 of √s=13 TeV proton-proton collision data collected with the ATLAS detector using jets with transverse momentum above 675 GeV. The measurement uses charged particles to ac…
Towards a Comprehension of University Dropout in Catalonia: the Case of Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona
2015
The article presents the results of a research that aims to unfold the reasons behind students’ dropout at the Autonomous University of Barcelona (UAB). Data is analyzed, and interviews and focus groups with students who have dropout, study degree’s coordinators and institutional authorities are carried out. Results indicate that part of the abandonment taking place is voluntary, natural and even necessary, when the student does not enter the desired option or discovers that the studies do not fi t with their vocational interests, but it also represents a misalignment between the academic offer and the students’ capabilities, performance and motivation.
Combining Academic Education With Soft Skills Development: Some Common Aspects of Educational Preparation of IT Professionals and Schoolteachers
2021
In the modern educational process aimed on preparing professionals in the applied areas, it’s crucial, along with purely professional training, to provide students both with solid theoretical background and help them to develop “soft skills” that will facilitate their smooth and efficient adaptation to the industry realities when they start their professional careers. In this paper we consider practical cases of acquiring soft skills through intensive field experience in two areas related to mathematical education.
Action research as a school-based strategy in intercultural professional development for teachers
2011
Abstract Teacher professional development is a key factor for transforming professional and school culture. This article describes a case study undertaken in a Spanish school during the 2007–2008 academic year. Our aim is to explain how action research methodology was applied to encourage professional and school culture towards an intercultural and inclusive approach. Our results show that the training process challenged teachers’ pre-existing deficit theory perspectives and empowered them as leaders for school change. The conclusions identify the key factors that enabled teachers to engage in critical reflection, and to implement strategies for collaborative work and community participatio…
Personal variables, motivation and avoidance learning strategies in undergraduate students
2014
Abstract This study examines the relationships among students' personal variables, their initial motivation and the avoidance learning strategies they used during the teaching/learning process followed in the Educational Psychology subject matter. The sample comprised 195 Spanish undergraduate students who studied Educational Psychology. A questionnaire was administered at the beginning of the academic year to measure students' personal variables and their initial motivation, while another was administered at the end of the academic year to measure students' involvement in their learning process through the avoidance strategies they used. The data analysis was done by using structural equat…
Active Learning Methods and Strategies to Improve Student Conceptual Understanding: Some Considerations from Physics Education Research
2020
Active learning methods and strategies are credited to be an important means for the development of student cognitive skills. This paper describes some forms of active learning common in Physics Education and briefly introduces some of the pedagogical and psychological theories on the basis of active learning. Then, some evidence for active learning effectiveness in developing students’ critical cognitive skills and improving their conceptual understanding are examined. An example study regarding the effectiveness of an Inquiry-based learning approach in helping students to build mechanisms of functioning and explicative models, and to identify common aspects in apparently different phenome…
