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…

The Formative Years
2018
The school and university education of G.B. Guccia are presented. He studied in the new educational system created when the Kingdom of Italy was founded. Sicily had a long story of cultivators of mathematics, which we briefly review. Shortly after G.B. Guccia entered university the most important encounter of his life occurred: he met the geometer Luigi Cremona and moved to Rome. Five years later he presented his thesis under the guidance of Cremona.
Game-based learning supported by audience response tools: game proposals and preliminary assessment
2018
The so-called game-based learning strategies are based on introducing games in the classrooms to improve aspects such as student performance, concentration and effort. Currently, they provide a very useful resource to increase the motivation of university students, generating a better atmosphere among peers and between student and teacher, which in turn is generally translated into better academic results. However, the design of games that successfully achieve the desired teaching-learning objectives is not a trivial task. This work focuses on the design of games that allow the assessment of ICT-related university subjects. Specifically, three different games are proposed, all based on stud…
La perspectiva de la sostenibilidad en la sociedad del conocimiento interconectado: gobernanza, educación, ética

La UNESCO ha señalado tres caminos básicos para conseguirlo: la gobernanza, la educación y la éticaLa gobernanza puede propiciar una conectividad social equitativa, cambios en los modelos de producción y consumo y la búsqueda y aplicación de soluciones reales …
Testing the Trust Game with undergraduates: An experiment with wealth heterogeneity
2017
Ponència presentada a 3rd International Conference on Higher Education Advances, HEAd’17, Universitat Politècnica de València, València, 2017 Trust, reciprocity and a fair distribution of resources are cruzial in the sustainability of any economic system. As a matter of fact, those are values that should be promoted among the new generations, especially among university students enrolled in degrees that are related to economics. Under this context, we are interested in enhancing criticism and active reflection among undergraduates with respect to social values. With such a goal in mind, we designed a two step classroom task that includes playing the Trust Game (TG) in the first place and, s…
The use of EduBlog in initial teachers training: an experience of a teaching innovation project
2020
Digital technologies are central elements of today's society. In this context to achieve an adequate degree of development of Digital Competence for professional performance is essential, as well as for life in society and the exercise of citizenship. Higher Education must actively contribute to develop Digital Competence, training students to effectively use digital technologies. That need is exacerbated in the case of initial teacher training, not only because of the progress towards a digitalized school, but also because of the fundamental role in the training of future generations. With the aim of promoting the development of Digital Teaching Competence, this paper presents an innovatio…
Instructional factors and over-education of university graduates
2015
The aim of this work is to test the role of the level of generic competences developed during University studies and the professional and practice orientation of instruction (PPOI) in the prediction of graduates’ initial vertical fit and vertical fit change over an 8-year period. The study sample comprised 334 graduates who finished their degrees two years before they were interviewed for the first time (Time 1). Four and eight years later they were interviewed again (Times 2 and 3, respectively). All of them had employment at Time 1, 2 and 3. Hypotheses were tested by means of Latent Growth Curve Analyses. Contrary to our expectations only PPOI was positive and significantly related to gra…

Gamification in education consist on the use of structures, characteristics, dynamics and aesthetics of games for educational purposes, to increase students participation and motivation. The escape room is a gamified activity in which one or more teams must leave a place during a limited time solving a challenge whose goal is learning. This study pretends to analyze research trends through a bibliometric study of scientific producti…
