Electronic system for assessing and analysing digital competences in the context of Knowledge Society
2019
The digital competencies of users, in general, and of public administration personnel, in particular, must allow the people access to graphical interfaces and applications, including databases. The use of digital competences is not simply about the emergence and use of computer tools to a certain level but also to develop new digital skills to face the challenges of data quality, responsibility, confidence in information received, the privacy of the user and the safety of its data. The study tool in this paper is managed and applied online, and the collection and centralization of data is done automatically, also ensuring information security. The basic method used in this paper is the mode…
Infoética y derechos humanos.
2009
En los últimos años, se ha popularizado el término “Infoética”, empleado para analizar los problemas éticos que está generando la sociedad de la información, de ahí que en este texto se realice una aproximación a este concepto, describiendo algunos de sus usos más habituales.

This dynamism, the search for new forms and means of expression, is the result as well as the engine of the “knowledge society”.

Higher Education in a Knowledge Society: How to Close the Knowledge Divide
2015
In this chapter, Higher Education in a Knowledge Society: how to close the knowledge divide, Richard Ennals and Hans Christian Garmann Johnsen discuss education policy in UK and Norway, and how national conditions might influence the role that universities take in social development. The new communicative reality: mobilisation and education breaking the institutional barriers. They can be met by initiatives like Quality Circles, or a Penny University. The underlying big problem is to what extent universities are really taking a role in reducing the serious knowledge and education level divide we see in western societies.
Sociedad del conocimiento, capital intelectual y educación musical en el siglo XXI
2017
Los avances tecnológicos que hicieron su tímida aparición durante las últimas décadas del siglo XX y que continúan perfeccionándose a lo largo de este siglo XXI, han venido acompañados de un nuevo corpus teórico y de una nueva forma de ver la profesión docente. Conceptos como sociedad de la información y del conocimiento, economía del conocimiento y capital intelectual, han entrado a formar parte de la investigación educativa y, por tanto, de la práctica profesional. En este sentido, la educación musical ha presenciado cambios en la forma de entender su proceso de enseñanza/aprendizaje para adaptarse a la Sociedad del Conocimiento.
Professional development for teachers: a world of change
2009
As the industrialised world shifted to an interdependent and global society, formal schooling was quickly recognised as a major factor in achieving a knowledge society of lifelong learners capable of transforming and revitalising organisations. Teachers were encouraged to engage in learning together to improve teaching and, by extension, improve learning for the children in their care. This article identifies three emerging trends intended to broaden teachers' learning and enhance their practices through continuous professional development: glocalisation, mentoring, and re‐thinking teacher evaluation. The body of the article indicates how these three trends are unfolding in Australia, Engla…

2020
The influence exerted by supranational organizations, such as the European Union (EU) in the configuration of educational policies, forces us to include the supranational sphere in the study of educational trends. A growing trend in the field of higher education is the increase in private investment and our objective is to measure its impact in recent years in the European context and if it puts at risk the affordable access to this educational level. To do this, in the first place, we analyze the different actions developed from the European Union on increasing private financing of higher education through various documents and work plans. Second, from the Comparative Education methodology…
Impact of the knowledge society in the university and in scientific communication
2014
Over the last two decades, as a result of the introduction and intensive use of technologies for information and general knowledge, especially from the internet, the university is living in a process of complete transformation that affects it´s academic and organizational structures as well as the conception of educational methodology. The ICTs have demonstrated a need to establish coherent institutional strategies in their use and application, along with the possibility to expand the sphere of institutional action, in regards to general access to higher education. All of this shows an existing change from a model of education based on the transmission of knowledge, that was rather limited …
