El enfoque AICLE y los entornos de aprendizaje en línea: El papel de Google My Maps y la producción escrita de los estudiantes en Historia Antigua
2021
Education in the 21 st century has moved towards digital learning to offer high quality programmes that meet the technological and communicative demands of today’s society. Well - known approaches such as Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) and English as a Medium of Instruction (EMI) may benefit from this new reality by addressing linguistic and cognitive challenges in written discourse. This paper examines the written performance of forty first - year undergraduate students coursing a CLIL module in History of the Classical World at a Spanish university . By means of Google My Maps, participants were expected to create a custom map describing five Roman vestiges of their choic…
The importance of OER in engineering education
2017
The problem of education is a very important one and occupies an increasingly wider register among educational specialists, who see these changes directly related to current generations of students. It speaks increasingly more and more about the desire of young people to learn when they want, how they want and how much they want, in their own way, without any constraints imposed by fixed educational program, established by teachers, according to their idea how to go on an educational route. In this context, open education provides crucial support of any person who is interested, and covered a complete and appropriate educational needs, in connection with time and availability of the person.…
Why open educational resources repositories fail : the contribution of quality approaches to the success of repositories
2016
Over the last two decades, millions of Open Educational Resources (OER) have become freely available for teachers and learners online. These resources are usually accessible through Learning Object Repositories (LORs), which are databases with a user interface. LORs are rarely used to their full potential and often considered as ‘failures’. Previous studies have shown that quality has a critical role in the success of information systems such as LORs. However there are no common guidelines for quality assurance approaches for LORs, nor are there studies into the contribution made by different LOR quality assurance approaches to the success of a repository. Measuring quality and success have…
A Conceptual Framework for Using and Evaluating Web-Based Learning Resources in School Education
2010
Published version of an article from the journal:Journal of Information Technology Education. Also available from the publisher: http://www.jite.org/documents/Vol9/JITEv9p053-079Hadjerrouit743.pdf Web-based learning resources (WBLRs) have provided teachers with a wide range of new teachingexperiences that are not possible in traditional classroom. However, little research has beendone as to which approach to WBLRs is suitable to address issues that are pertinent to learning.This paper proposes a conceptual framework to explore the design and evaluation of WBLRs inschool education. The paper also examines the way in which the framework is used to evaluatestudents? and teachers? perceptions o…
¿Cómo abordan los textos de Educación Primaria la competencia en alimentación y actividad física?
2018
La incorporación de las competencias básicas al currículo escolar ha planteado la necesidad de definir las competencias en salud que el estudiante debe alcanzar cuando finalice la enseñanza obligatoria. De ahí que este grupo de investigación haya elaborado unos estándares de competencias que tratan de dar respuesta a los principales problemas de salud. Para ello se ha elaborado un instrumento que permite analizar si dichas competencias están presentes en los recursos educativos, concretamente en los libros de texto, con la finalidad de obtener información sobre la visión y el abordaje que estos presentan sobre la promoción de hábitos de vida saludable. El presente trabajo estudia el tratami…
Globally distributed knowledge sharing in social software environments : barriers and interventions
2014
Estructura factorial y estabilidad de un cuestionario sobre la calidad de un programa de postgrado
2017
In this work we describe an instrument based on the use of a factor analysis technique in order to measure the quality of education within a Postgraduate degree offered by a public Spanish university. We showed that the instrument has satisfactory psychometric properties (reliability and validity). Regarding the factorial solution, three main dimensions have been determined, namely: importance given to the subject; educational resources and knowledge of the subject (previous and posterior). It is important to remark that these three dimensions were consistently detected in all the factorial analyses performed (total sample and separate academic years). These three dimensions should be consi…
Positive Computing as Paradigm to Overcome Barriers to Global Co-authoring of Open Educational Resources
2018
The adoption of Open Educational Resources (OER) can support collaboration and knowledge sharing. One of the main areas of the usage OER is the internationalization, i.e., the use in a global context. However, the globally distributed co-creation of digital materials is still low. Therefore, we identify essential barriers, in particular for co-authoring of OER in global environments. We use a design science research method to introduce a barrier framework for co-authoring OER in global settings and propose a wellbeing-based system design constructed from the barrier framework for OER co-authoring tool. We describe how positive computing concepts can be used to overcome barriers, emphasizing…
Design principles for collaboration platforms for open education
2015
Increasing the current low uptake of Open Education Resources (OER) is a key challenge for researchers and practitioners in the field. User studies have shown that collaboration is a main success factor for successful open educational activities. However, effective collaboration in open educational contexts requires well planned processes and platforms supporting collaboration, in particular in physically distributed settings. We have been investigating the value of such platforms, their main features and user requirements to enable collaboration from immature ideas to completed resources. We used quantitative and qualitative research methods to collect insights from potential users of such…
Enhancing the experience of online users of open education
2014
The limited adoption of Open Educational Resources (OER) has kicked off the launch of several projects to search for possible solutions. One of these projects is “Open Educational Ideas and Innovations” (OEI2). The goal of this project is to find alternatives for increasing the uptake of OER and facilitating the collaborative development of OER. To enhance the experience of the users of open education, we interviewed twelve educators and researchers from different higher education institutions across Europe focusing on gathering insights about idea sharing experiences. In this paper, we present our key findings based on these interviews and outline some recommendations for our next open edu…
