Statistics anxiety in university students in assessment situations
2018
Many students have feelings of state anxiety when exams, and these feelings probably affect their performance. Statistics courses have been identified as producing the most anxiety. The purpose of our study is to measure statistics anxiety throughout an academic course (pre-test and three assessments) in order to observe its change and analyze the relationship between statistics anxiety and academic achievement. The sample is composed of 30 Psychology students taking a course in research designs and statistics (26.7% men and 73.3% women) with a mean age of 20.31 years (SD = 3.76). The results show that the students begin with a high level of statistics anxiety that gradually declines as the…
The Lecture-Performance: Implementing Performative Pedagogy in Literature Class
2020
In recent years the performative has gained importance within the pedagogical field and has opened new perspectives in educational research. Experience has shown that the integration of performative elements in the learning process allow teachers to involve learners emotionally and cognitively. The present paper deals with a learning experience performed with students in the course “German Literature (2nd language)” at the University of Valencia. From the perspective of Performative Pedagogy, students are asked to carry out a research project and then transfer the acquired knowledge to the theatrical format that must be didactic: a Lecture-Performance. This activity highlights the benefits …
Creación de página Web para promover aprendizaje colaborativo en alumnos de máster

This approach makes intensive use of the Web as a key technological resource for learning, where the information seen in the subject is summarized and given in an applicative and pertinent context that is easy to understand for all public interested in the topics discu…
Vulnerabilities and Threats to Human Security Generated by an Ineffective Educational System
2017
Abstract The present trend towards globalization has led to people changing their views on possible threats to their existence. Nowadays, we witness a diversification of vulnerabilities and threats to human security, as well as a progressive reduction of our resilience. The article attempts to correlate the 5 dimensions of national security, as identified by the Copenhagen School of Security, with the problems of the Romanian educational system, explaining how these problems can become threats to the security of Romanian citizens. It offers an overview of the problems of the Romanian educational system, and the threats and vulnerabilities derived from them towards human security. It also su…
Educational systems efficiency in European Union countries
2011
Abstract We use the PISA 2006 results to analyse students’ proficiency in EU countries with regard to two indexes that represent the home background, viz the educational resources available at home and the family background of students. However, many factors affect proficiency and therefore, using a DEA-bootstrap, we intend to measure the efficiency of the European educational systems as capability to ensure high students’ competencies despite adverse conditions about the educational resources available at home and the family background. Results show an unexpected differentiation among EU countries. In particular, the most developed countries often show disappointing students’ proficiency d…

Technology-Supported Educational Innovations in Finland and Hong Kong: A Tale of Two Systems
2005
The paper presents a comparison of case studies about innovative ICT-supported pedagogical practices in two educational systems, namely Finland and Hong Kong. The two systems were selected for this in-depth comparison for three main reasons. First, Finland and Hong Kong performed well in several international comparative studies of educational achievement. Second, the case studies collected via the SITES Module 2 indicated rather different profiles between Finnish and Hong Kong schools in terms of ICT infrastructure and pedagogical practices. Third, further analysis of the case studies data indicated differences in emergent pedagogical characteristics between the cases collected in Asia and…
Researching Classrooms in Search of Learning: Theoretical and Methodological Considerations
2019
The chapter gives a background to research and research traditions on teaching and learning in classrooms. In the post-war period, a large number of research approaches have been developed in order to capture the complexities of classroom life. Much of this research has documented traditional patterns of communication in classrooms that seem to be fairly stable across time and educational systems. The introduction of video documentation provided new means of following and understanding the dynamics of instructional patterns. Video also made it possible to analyze the activities from different perspectives, including how students are able to follow, contribute to and make sense of classroom …
La Inteligencia Intrapersonal en el aula de E/LE: una propuesta didáctica para alumnos sinohablantes
2020
Resumen: El proceso de adquisición del español como LM de los estudiantes sinohablantes se ve dificultado por el elevado índice de variables conflictivas de índole lingüística y cultural que entran en juego. La importancia que estas variables tienen en el desarrollo de su proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje convierte a los alumnos chinos en un grupo diferencial dentro del conjunto de aprendientes de E/LE. Con una lengua materna tipológicamente distante del español y educados en un sistema educativo organizado a partir del estructuralismo y del método de gramática-traducción, estos alumnos presentan unas necesidades específicas de aprendizaje que los docentes deberán tener en cuenta si desean a…
Educación patrimonial y fotografía estereoscópica: intervención didácti
2019
La inserción de la tecnología digital para el trabajo del patrimonio material e inmaterial puede convertirse en una herramienta creativa que refuerce el papel del maestro/a como agente educador del patrimonio local (en la línea de lo sugerido en el Plan Nacional de Educación y Patrimonio (PNEyP)). Además, este tipo de recursos permiten el desarrollo de herramientas que mejoran la interpretación de los entornos patrimoniales y los acercan al alumnado. En esta propuesta de innovación se expone una intervención didáctica original realizada con discentes de sexto de Educación Primaria en el entorno del Castell de Marinyén (Benifairó de la Valldigna, Valencia) por medio de la utilización de la f…
