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. Este análisis se completa con un repaso de las razones que han llevado a algunos autores a revisar el planteamiento de los derechos humanos como consecuencia de las transformaciones que provoca la sociedad del conocimiento. Finalmente, se abordan las posibilidades que presenta la Infoética para construir una nueva dimensión de la ciudadanía: la ciudadanía digital, que surge por la aparición del ciberespacio, la socieda…
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…
Higher Education in Networked Knowledge Societies
2016
This conceptual chapter articulates an analytical synthesis: Networked Knowledge Society. This synthesis incorporates the role of knowledge, information and communication technology (ICT) and networks in order to better understand the dynamic nature of contemporary societies. It also conceptualises the relationships between contemporary societies and higher education. A traditional approach to examining the relationships between higher education and society is to consider this from the societal point of departure to interpret or explain change in higher education. Our approach, by contrast, is relational with respect to the dynamic role of higher education in societies and the ways in which…
The Information and Communication Technology (ICT) Competence of the Young
2009
This chapter discusses the information and communication technology (ICT) competence of the young. The discussion focuses on students at lower and upper secondary school, especially young people aged 10-18. It explores how the strategic initiatives and implementation efforts of ICY have reached out to the level of young citizens. The aim is to consider their ICT competence as well as their use of ICT in school and during the leisure time. The authors also consider the significance and role of gaming, the gender differences regarding ICT skills and use, and the differences between the young and adults in their skills and use of ICT.

Estructura dimensional de las competencias del siglo XXI en los estudiantes universitarios de educación
2018
La nueva Sociedad del Conocimiento requiere nuevas competencias, que son conocidas como Competencias del siglo XXI. Estas competencias se subdividen en competencias de pensamiento y competencias de orden superior en tecnologías de información y comunicación. El objetivo de este artículo es determinar la estructura dimensional de las competencias del siglo XXI, junto con los factores personales clave en este sentido. Se trata de un estudio correlacional, basado en un diseño de encuesta, cuya muestra está constituida por estudiantes de los grados de Pedagogía y Educación Social de la Universidad de Valencia, seleccionados por muestreo no probabilístico y accidental, recogiendo la información …
La production de connaissances dans la société de la connaissance : quel rôle pour le système éducatif ?
2005
A partir d’une evaluation des connaissances, capacites et competences developpees au sein des systemes educatifs europeens d’enseignement superieur, comme de celles requises par le marche du travail, nous avons pu montrer que le contenu de l’education importe aux yeux des employeurs. Ce resultat provient aussi bien de l’auto-evaluation de leurs qualites par les salaries que de l’hetero-evaluation menee par les superviseurs dans les entreprises. Cependant, tous les emplois ne requierent pas les memes qualites, et ceux plus directement concernes par l’economie fondee sur la connaissance, impliquent des connaissances et des traits de comportement peu developpes par la plupart des systemes d’en…
High-skilled migration and the knowledge society. Theories, processes, perspectives
2018
The recent economic crisis has led to an upswing in migration from the Mediterranean countries of Europe towards its central and northern development hubs. This overall increase in migration also includes high numbers of the so-called skilled migrants, consisting mainly, though not exclusively, of young people moving within Europe for study or specialisation, or seeking employment that matches their skills profile. It is no coincidence then that this new trend for skilled migration within Europe forms the main thrust of the cognitive and research interests of sociologists, economists and migration geographers. The aim of this paper is to reconstruct the theoretical debate on skilled migrati…
Future language teachers’ pedagogical landscapes during their subject studies
2015
This article examines the experiences, attitudes and perceptions language students have regarding the use of ICT in language teaching. In addition, the article analyses the key characteristics of language students’ pedagogical designs. The data come from a pedagogically oriented subject-studies course that focuses on the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages and the European Language Portfolio. The data, which consist of language students’ reflections and course plans, have been analysed using qualitative content analysis. The findings imply that language students’ pedagogical landscapes reflect their own experiences as learners. Furthermore, the literacy practices in languag…
Main Findings and Discussion
2016
This chapter ‘connects the dots’ between the outcomes of the CINHEKS study and relates these to contemporary higher education research practice and policy. This conclusion summarizes our main theoretical and conceptual findings, central empirical results and methodological advances in a way that illuminates the key issues and questions brought into view by the CINHEKS study, as a whole. Our findings are critically contextualized in terms of general challenges in higher education studies, which borrow far more than we generate, especially in terms of theory, conceptual problematization, methodology and methods. Theoretically, the analytical synthesis of network knowledge society is highlight…
