Human experts vs. machines in taxa recognition
2020
The step of expert taxa recognition currently slows down the response time of many bioassessments. Shifting to quicker and cheaper state-of-the-art machine learning approaches is still met with expert scepticism towards the ability and logic of machines. In our study, we investigate both the differences in accuracy and in the identification logic of taxonomic experts and machines. We propose a systematic approach utilizing deep Convolutional Neural Nets with the transfer learning paradigm and extensively evaluate it over a multi-pose taxonomic dataset with hierarchical labels specifically created for this comparison. We also study the prediction accuracy on different ranks of taxonomic hier…
Pedagogical Practices for Virtual Worlds
2010
As a result from activities carried out within Module 2 of the MUVEnation programme about exploring active learning approaches, we have created a collection of practices for teaching and learning in Virtual Worlds, organised in 21 chapters, classified in the following categories of instructional methods: Presentation, Demonstration, Discussion, Drill-and-practice, Tutorial, Cooperative Learning, Gaming, Simulation and Discovery. The educational professionals who participated in the course worked in teams, but in some cases individually to map and describe the existing range of teaching practices in Second Life, and to draw a reflection about the elements for their success. Practices describ…
Learning-Student Methods. Their Effects on Learning Strategies and Approaches to Learning of University Students
2021
At the university we are in a process of change, from a teaching centered approach to a learning centered approach. It is important to have scientific data about the use of such methodologies to evaluate both its usefulness and its functionality. The aim of this research was to assess whether the application of learning-centered methods would lead to an improvement in students' learning strategies and approaches to learning compared to the control group, which received training with a teaching-centered format. A quasi-experimental cohort design, with a non-equivalent control group. The sample consisted of 243 Pedagogy and Social Education students at the University of Valencia, who were stu…
Una aproximación al perfil de los estudiantes universitarios excelentes
2014
[ES] El objetivo de este trabajo era concretar el perfil de los alumnos excelentes en la universidad, de cara a precisar modelos eficaces de funcionamiento que se pudieran generalizar y enseñar, en la medida de lo posible. Para ello se recogieron datos de varios grupos de alumnos de 1º de la Universidad Politécnica de Valencia con las mejores notas de entrada de diferentes titulaciones cuyos resultados se compararon con los de alumnos de calificaciones medias. Fueron 281 estudiantes, 148 excelentes y 133 medios, elegidos como tales por las notas de la PAU, de 11 titulaciones de 9 centros de esta universidad. Se evaluaron las estrategias de aprendizaje, los enfoques y estilos de aprendizaje,…
Metodología innovadora en la universidad: sus efectos sobre los procesos de aprendizaje de los estudiantes universitarios
2015
Se pretendía evaluar el impacto de metodología centrada en el aprendizaje sobre las estrategias de aprendizaje y los enfoques de aprendizaje de un grupo de alumnos de Química, de 1º curso de Ingeniería, de la Universitat Politécnica de Valencia. Se utilizó un diseño preexperimental, con medidas de pretest y postest, tomadas mediante el cuestionario CEVEAPEU y el CPE. La muestra estaba constituida por 20 alumnos. Los métodos docentes utilizados integraban metodología expositiva, preguntas, resolución de problemas, elaboración de una monografía, exposiciones orales, prácticas de laboratorio, trabajo en grupo, tutorías en el aula y un sistema de evaluación que hacía uso de procedimientos forma…
