Shared learning process among students of the Health Sciences and Electronic Engineering Department and students of professional training in the area…
2019
[EN] The objective of this proposal for educational innovation is to facilitate the learning of complex concepts and their relationship with reality, through peer-to-peer training, in where two scenarios will be shared: university and professional training. We propose an experience in which University students in the area of Electronic Technology and Health, specifically from the degrees of Industrial Electronics Engineering, Physiotherapy and Nursing, previously trained in the concepts of radiation and its types, infrared radiation, its use in health in both treatment and diagnosis, thermoregulation and thermography with the visual thinking tool, can transversally share a teaching scenario…
Enabling the full participation of university students with disabilities: seeking best practices for a barrier-free language centre
2015
Recent research has shown that 3.4% of university students in Finland have a diagnosed or observed illness or disability that affects their learning at the university level. The University of Jyväskylä Language Centre embarked on an organised, ongoing research and intervention project to enable appropriate teaching practices to suit the needs of all students. The process, thus far, has shown there is a need to clarify the rights and obligations of students and teachers to enable an atmosphere of mutual trust. A survey of the Language Centre teachers showed that all had taught students with disabilities during their university careers. Teachers wanted more information about disabilities, suc…
Word search sequences in teacher-student interaction in an English as medium of instruction context
2019
This study explores the ways students in a higher education setting engage in word searches. The investigation draws on 30-hour video recordings of content classes in an English as a medium of instruction university in Turkey. Using conversation analysis, the study focuses on the interactionally accomplished functions of vocal and visual practices deployed by the students in the course of a word search. We revealed that word searches are constructed through publicly visible resources (i.e. gaze, body orientation, gestures) and explicit formulaic expressions (i.e. how can I say it?), and accomplished via bilingual resources. It was also observed that the teacher does not orient to word searc…

Context metadata to adapt Ambient Learning Environments
2008
Ambient learning and knowledge environments (ALKE) are a promising concept for new methods of learning and in particular adapted, personalized learning environments. However, currently very few approaches specify concepts for adaptation. We present a metadata approach to identify and (automatically) derive the context of learning environments as a basis for adaptation. The concept has been partially validated in a scenario of ldquoSpontaneous Group Learningrdquo in Higher Education.
Photography as a historical source in the classroom. Assessment of a methodology for teaching History in Higher Education
2020
El presente artículo analiza una metodología activa centrada en el uso de fuentes históricas, en este caso la fotografía, para la enseñanza de la Historia en la Educación Superior. La propuesta analizada se llevó a cabo en la asignatura Didáctica de las Ciencias Sociales: Historia del Grado de Maestro en Educación Primaria de la Universidad de Alicante. Los datos obtenidos han sido tratados de forma cualitativa y han permitido conocer, además, la percepción del alumnado ante una nueva manera de trabajar contenidos históricos. Los resultados obtenidos confirman que la metodología que utiliza de forma adecuada la fotografía como fuente histórica incentiva el análisis y la reflexión sobre los …
LEARNING TOGETHER EVERYWHERE ANYTIME. MOBILE LEARNING IN HIGHER EDUCATION
2015
Today, the use of mobile learning in higher education can be widespread only if teachers and students are able to understand their possibilities and applications in the right way. The present research aims to analyse types of possessed mobile devices, competences in their use and successful applications in higher education courses. A specific questionnaire has been created and divided into four areas: 1) general personal information, 2) possessed and frequently used mobile devices, 3) awareness of the mobile device potential in distance learning, 4) their advantages in free and informal learning environments). The questionnaire, previously validated, was submitted on-line to a large group o…
Effects of Mobility Programmes on University Students' Academic Performance
2018
The number of students participating in mobility programmes has increased enormously over the years. The reasons are diverse and may range from personal growth to better employability prospects, together with improvement in foreign language skills and intercultural awareness. Mobility programmes receive generous funding from the European Commission, therefore their outcomes should be measured and evaluated. This paper focuses on a specific one: the academic effects of mobility programmes. We analyse whether there is an improvement in the academic performance of the students who participate in mobility programmes and, if this is the case, whether it is sustained over time. We use a broad dat…
Typologie de l'insertion professionnelle des diplômés de l'enseignement supérieur dans les régions françaises au regard des mobilités géographiques
2007
This note proposes to characterize the labour markets of the 22 French regions for the young graduates of the higher education taking account of the phenomena of migration related to the entry into professional life. This study produces an original typology of the labour markets about higher education. The links is underlined between the quality of transition into the labour market and the migratory behaviours of young people.
Higher Education Internationalization: The Erasmus-Mundus network added value
2014
International audience; Higher education internationalization can play a major role in developing universities and students' capacities and their opportunities broadly throughout the world. Irrespective of contextual differences within and between countries, nearly all higher education institutions worldwide are engaged in international activities and are seeking to expand them. Engaging with the world is now considered part of the definition of quality in education and research. However, with the current crisis, possible tensions and counter reactions to the development of the internationalization can occur, such as an imminent resistance to a supposed denationalizing effect of internation…
