Time-domain effective-one-body gravitational waveforms for coalescing compact binaries with nonprecessing spins, tides and self-spin effects
2018
We present TEOBResumS, a new effective-one-body (EOB) waveform model for nonprecessing (spin-aligned) and tidally interacting compact binaries.Spin-orbit and spin-spin effects are blended together by making use of the concept of centrifugal EOB radius. The point-mass sector through merger and ringdown is informed by numerical relativity (NR) simulations of binary black holes (BBH) computed with the SpEC and BAM codes. An improved, NR-based phenomenological description of the postmerger waveform is developed.The tidal sector of TEOBResumS describes the dynamics of neutron star binaries up to merger and incorporates a resummed attractive potential motivated by recent advances in the post-Newt…
University Faculty Perception of Cyber-Plagiarism: A Virtual Discussion Group
2021
Resumen Este estudio analiza el ciberplagio académico desde la perspectiva del profesorado del Grado en Traducción e Interpretación de la Universidad Internacional de Valencia. Dado que se trata de una práctica fraudulenta cada vez más extendida en las aulas universitarias, se hace necesario que el cuerpo docente reflexione sobre ella para evitar que se convierta en un recurso estructural por parte del alumnado en este nivel educativo. El estudio apuesta por una metodología cualitativa y, en concreto, el grupo de discusión, el cual se lleva a cabo por videoconferencia gracias a la participación de su claustro (n=16). Como instrumento se diseña un guion de seis preguntas a partir de las cual…
Dialogicality in making sense of online collaborative interaction : a conceptual perspective
2021
In higher education, learning activities increasingly take place in online collaborative groups. In this conceptual paper, we explore online collaborative interaction from the perspective of dialogicality. We aim to reconceptualize the notion of “productive interaction” and the typical focus of its research by turning attention to the dialogic features of collaborative interaction, especially the notions of alterity, dialogic attitude, and dialogic orientation. In relation to this, we offer a contextual perspective on collaborative interaction. Relying on data from an online university course, we conceptually analyze specified components of dialogicality. This article illustrates and explor…
Ethics, Dialogue and English as a Lingua Franca for ESD in Higher Education
2022
Abstract The urgency for education to participate in the plan of action of the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development (SD) poses challenges to language education in university language centers. This paper discusses the potential of Higher Education (HE) language center courses to provide students with the knowledge and skills of inclusive, respectful, and equal communication needed in promoting SD and global citizenship. Education for sustainable development (ESD) in language teaching often focuses on integrating the content of SD topics into the language course. This paper focuses on the skills dimension and reports on a case study of a dialogue approach, a pedagogical method that coul…
Information and communication technologies and teacher education in the new paradigms of higher education
2018
Abstract Media use in the teaching process occurs in several forms. Information and communication technologies can be used as work equipment and teaching aids, as well as tools or curriculum units, particularly in higher education. Technological changes and new information technologies, in addition to substantive knowledge of the material, require from teachers creativity, knowledge, and the skills of the didactic design of teaching using modern multimedia tools. In Croatia, there is a lack of research aimed at assessing the initial state of computer literacy within the higher education institutions. The aim of this study was to determine the level of knowledge and digital competence of (no…
Facebook come strumento di studio e di lavoro
2014
La crescente diffusione dei social media sta cambiando profondamente il modo di fare comunicazione, anche per quanto riguarda la didattica universitaria. Per questo motivo occorre sviluppare nuovi modelli coerenti con gli stili di vita e i linguaggi delle nuove generazioni di studenti universitari. Considerando la grande possibilità, offerta dai social network, di reperire e condividere risorse (link utili, articoli, materiali audio o video, etc.), abbiamo potuto verificare che questi ambienti di per sé possono garantire agli studenti l’occasione di ampliare la propria conoscenza e il proprio livello di informazione, tanto da risultare proficui per l’apprendimento e sono stati un’ottima opp…
DEVELOPMENT OF A BLENDED COURSE FOR ONLINE TEACHING: PROCESS AND OUTCOMES
2019
In this study, we outline the different steps and strategies followed to develop an online formation program aimed to higher education teachers. The aim of this program is to provide with teaching competencies to face the challenges of the next decade’s classroom, with a special focus on the role of digital technology in learning environments, through a combination of a self-managed course with a guided on-site training with real cases. A multicultural, multidisciplinary team conceives this blended learning format, which applies a storytelling approach for content generation and communication. A detailed description of the different factors and stages followed to undertake the project is pr…
Inclusive University Teachers: What Characterizes them and how do they Think about Disability
2021
El incremento de estudiantes con discapacidad en las universidades españolas conlleva la necesidad de desarrollar prácticas docentes inclusivas que garanticen la participación y el aprendizaje de todo el alumnado. Con este trabajo se pretende: (1) conocer las concepciones que el profesorado universitario que ejerce prácticas docentes inclusivas tiene sobre la discapacidad; (2) analizar las razones que les motivan para tener en cuenta las necesidades de los estudiantes con discapacidad, y (3) describir las características que les definen. En el estudio participaron 42 docentes que fueron seleccionados como inclusivos por estudiantes con discapacidad de seis universidades públicas de diferent…

The spatiotemporal dimension of doctoral education : a way forward
2020
For an individual doctoral student, doctoral education happens in multiple spaces across a considerable amount of time. However, the existing literature and conceptualisations of doctoral education do not adequately address the spatiotemporal dimension related to it. By using the concept of scales, this article examines how the social action of doing doctoral studies is affected by space and time. As a mode of inquiry, I use nexus analysis, which allows the analyst to spotlight issues that routinely go unnoticed by scholars, policy-makers but also doctoral students themselves. Based on the analysis, I argue that to theorise doctoral education further, its spatiotemporal dimension has to be …
