A Teaching proposal for the study of eigenvectors and eigenvalues
2017
[EN] In this work, we present a teaching proposal which emphasizes on visualization and physical applications in the study of eigenvectors and eigenvalues. These concepts are introduced using the notion of the moment of inertia of a rigid body and the GeoGebra software. The proposal was motivated after observing students¿ difficulties when treating eigenvectors and eigenvalues from a geometric point of view. It was designed following a particular sequence of activities with the schema: exploration, introduction of concepts, structuring of knowledge and application, and considering the three worlds of mathematical thinking provided by Tall: embodied, symbolic and formal.
Anàlisi crítica d’aplicacions de lectura per a infants: paràmetres i indicadors
2018
Les aplicacions de lectura digital infantil han evolucionat considerablement al llarg dels últims anys. Tanmateix, segueixen sent les grans oblidades en informes i estadístiques sobre la producció editorial i més encara dins del sector digital, cosa que origina un fenomen d’infoxicació en què el mediador es troba amb pocs criteris que faciliten la selecció d’aquest nou tipus de continguts. Aquesta investigació presenta els resultats de l’anàlisi de tretze aplicacions de lectura en les seues dimensions de forma i contingut. Alhora, s’hi observen trets com ara el mode d’adquisició, la privacitat, l’organització de continguts o la personalització. Finalment, reflexionarem sobre l’adequació del…
Artes marciales japonesas: prácticas corporales representativas de su identidad cultural
2011
La implantación y difusión de las artes marciales japonesas en Occidente supuso la importación de prácticas socioculturales privadas de las premisas de su contexto de origen. ¿Cómo afrontar estas prácticas que son ajenas a nuestra identidad cultural? Una interpretación estricta exige entenderlas como prácticas corporales con una idiosincrasia cultural, caracterizadas por incorporar una experiencia vivencial en la que el cuerpo ocupa un lugar preeminente. Su enseñanza y aprendizaje se establecen a través de un sistema triangular integrado por una esencia espiritual, una forma técnica y una estructura física (sin-gi-tai), que se inserta en un proceso singular (shu-ha-ri).
Teaching competence strategies to students through teamwork
2016
El Espacio Europeo de Educación Superior plantea desarrollar y evaluar métodos de aprendizaje centrados en la adquisición de competencias, que permitirán al alumno enfrentarse a distintos tipos de situaciones, tanto en contextos académicos como profesionales. Este nuevo planteamiento, implica el uso de diferentes metodologías didácticas, entre las que se encuentra el trabajo en grupo. Sin embargo, para el profesor universitario es un desafío evaluar los resultados del aprendizaje en grupo y no siempre se muestra como una tarea sencilla. En el presente trabajo se realiza una aproximación a los diferentes métodos de evaluación de la competencia realizar trabajos en grupo, mediante una revisió…

Education Students’ Use of Collaborative Writing Tools in Collectively Reflective Essay Papers
2014
Published version of an article in the journal: Journal of Information Technology Education: Research. Also available from the publisher at: http://www.jite.org/documents/Vol13/JITEv13ResearchP091-120Brodahl0463.pdf Open Access Google Docs and EtherPad are Web 2.0 tools providing opportunity for multiple users to work online on the same document consecutively or simultaneously. Over the last few years a number of research papers on the use of these collaborative tools in a teaching and learning environment have been published. This work builds on that of Brodahl, Hadjerrouit, and Hansen (2011) expanding its case study. The theoretical framework is the same as the one underlying Brodahl et a…
Pictorial meaning-making in a community project in Helsinki. Freirean interpretations of a dialogical process
2018
Participation in public discourse belongs to a democratic citizenship. However, part of the population is excluded from such communal discussion. This paper describes how the photography group Camera Obs., which principally contained unemployed people in Helsinki, created pictorial voices from their own everyday experiences through a dialogical process, rendering them also visible to other people. The research focuses on the group’s activity during the years 2004–6, from the beginning of the project to its first exhibition. As a theoretical background, Paulo Freire’s ideas of dialogue and voice creation, combined with Vygotsky’s and Mezirow’s concept of meaning-making, have been applied. T…
Étude exploratoire des obstacles à la transition universitaire selon le vécu d’étudiants français et belges
2020
International audience; Transition to Higher Education constitutes a challenging adjustment step for students that deserves major investigation. Yet, the transition obstacles are still overlooked. Most of international studies focused on individual predictors of adjustment and consider transition to Higher Education as a universal and invariant process. However, contextual characteristics of educational environment should be considered because they don’t imply the same requirements for adjustment. In order to address this limitation, this paper realized an exploratory comparison of first year student experience between a French and a Belgian university. The results highlighted similarities …
Student understanding of graph slope and area under a curve: A replication study comparing first-year physics and economics students
2019
The understanding of graphs and extraction of relevant information from graphs plays a major role in physics education and is also important in several related fields. Recently, Susac et al. [Phys. Rev. Phys. Educ. Res. 14, 020109 (2018)10.1103/PhysRevPhysEducRes.14.020109] compared physics and psychology students’ understanding of graphs in the contexts of physics and finance. They showed that physicists scored significantly higher in both domains and that all students solved the slope problems better than the area problems. Moreover, eye-tracking data revealed that physics students spent more time on problems associated with the area under the graph and focused longer on the axis labels o…
Assessing 4th Grade Students’ Computational Thinking through Scratch Programming Projects
2020
Computational thinking (CT) has been introduced in primary schools worldwide. However, rich classroom-based evidence and research on how to assess and support students’ CT through programming are particularly scarce. This empirical study investigates 4th grade students’ (N = 57) CT in a comparatively comprehensive and fine-grained manner by assessing their Scratch projects (N = 325) with a framework that was revised from previous studies to aim towards enhancing CT. The results demonstrate in detail the various coding patterns and code constructs the students programmed in assorted projects throughout a programming course and the extent to which they had conceptual encounters with CT. Notab…
