Analyzing double degrees in Spain: A proposal

2015

TThis article reviews the situation of single and double degrees in both public and private Spanish universities. To do so, this study analyzes information from the Registry of Universities, Centers, and Qualifications (RUCT) and Universia Spain. After analyzing the programs currently available to students, we present a proposal to establish a double degree in Administration and Business Management/Industrial Management Engineering. The proposal specifies the degree’s main objectives, specific nature, and fundamental aims and benefits in terms of technical, corporate, innovative, and entrepreneurial competencies.

Impact of students’ performance in the continuous assesment methodology through Moodle on the final exam

2017

[EN] This paper looks into the different evolution of students’ online questionnaire performance and its impact on the final examination mark. This innovative technique has been used in a group of an introductory financial accounting course with 8 online questionnaires (one per unit) in the Moodle platform. Using cluster analysis, we identify different groups of performance evolution. The evidence obtained suggests that in one of this groups a favourable test performance evolution may lead to overconfidence with the subsequent negative effect on the final examination mark. Future research with more variables and bigger samples will help identifying this student profile with a view to preven…

The Development of Linguistic Competences for Employability: A Training Project for Teachers

2014

Abstract Employability is a new concept that has just appeared in the Spanish educational system. Its rising importance is due to European Union educational policies which aim to provide young people with training that enables them to take part successfully in the present and future working world. This paper argues for the need to develop employability from the very start of formal education, and within this, we highlight the importance of developing linguistic competence among pre-school and primary pupils as a key element for favouring employability. To be able to do so, the teaching staff must be trained using quality education to enable them to work effectively on this competence. In th…

A System of Equity Indicators for Educational Systems

2001

International audience; Si l'on admet que l'équité d'un système éducatif d'une part ne se mesure pas seulement à la dimension, certes importante, des inégalités sociales d'accès à l'enseignement supérieur, mais peut mobiliser d'autres objets, d'autres catégories, et d'autres principes de justice ; si l'on admet aussi que l'équité d'un système éducatif ne se mesure pas directement, mais dans la capacité de ce système à corriger un certain nombre d'inégalités initiales, dont l'ampleur peut varier d'un pays à l'autre ; si l'on admet enfin que l'équité d'un système éducatif ne s'appréhende pas seulement par des indicateurs internes, mais aussi par la capacité dudit système à instaurer une socié…

Use of Movies in an accounting class as a teaching technique to promote learning about financial reporting and ethical issues

2021

[EN] This study presents an innovative experience using movies in an accounting class. The learning experience was found interesting and useful for the learning process in three groups in University XXX. The students voluntarily watched three movies and answered a test for each one, containing questions about the ethical and accounting concepts in the film, as well as their satisfaction with the methodology. Non-parametric tests have been computed to assess if those students that watch a movie obtain a higher exam mark as compared to those that do not follow the methodology, as well as for the other accounting and ethical questions. Our results show that there is a particular film that evid…

Bildungsexpansion, soziale Klasse und die Wahl von Latein als Strategie der Distinktion

2021

In times of educational expansion, privileged families are looking for new strategies of distinction. Referring to Pierre Bourdieu���s theory of distinction, we argue that choosing Latin at school ��� a language that is no longer spoken and therefore has no direct value ��� is one of the strategies of privileged families to set themselves apart from less privileged families. Based on two surveys we conducted at German schools, the paper analyzes the relationship between parents��� educational background and the probability that their child will learn Latin. Results indicate that historically academic families have the strongest tendency towards learning Latin, followed by new academic famil…
