The Development of the Teachers’ Competences and Abilities Concerning the Educational Mentoring of the Disabled
2015
Abstract In this paper, we will present some important aspects regarding the design and implementation of a project which generates significant results in the life-long learning of the teachers from all levels of the Romanian education system. The project is part of the priority axis: “The development of human resources in education and professional training”. The general objective aims to improve the e-learning interactive methods and the activity with the disabled in order to use them also within the didactic activity, to improve the results of the educational process as well as to increase the disabled access to education.
E-mail, Facebook, and Mobile Phones as Essential Tools for Lower Secondary School Students’ Communication
2014
The process of communication in the contemporary world and classroom has changed due to the Internet becoming more popular as an important means of exchanging information among young people. The Internet has also influenced relations and modes of communication between students and teachers. In consequence, the social distance between teachers and students has shortened and their relations have become less strict and formal. The following study concerns teacher–student, student–student classroom practices in lower secondary school, and addresses the issue of students’ preferences in communication and teacher–student communication satisfaction. The participants were 16-year-olds from two vill…
Understanding TDD in academic environment
2008
Several studies have reported positive experiences with Test-Driven Development (TDD) but the results still diverge. In this study we aim to improve understanding on TDD in educational context. We conducted two experiments on TDD in a master's level university course. The research setting was slightly changed in the second experiment and this paper focuses on comparing the differences between the two rounds. We analyzed the students' perceptions and the difficulties they faced with TDD. The given assignment clearly affected the students' reflections so that the more difficult assignment evoked a richer discussion among the students. Additionally, some insights into teaching TDD are discusse…
Integration of Subject Related ICT in Schools Is Failing; Could Revival of System Dynamics and Simulations Be an Example towards Improvement?
2010
A recent survey of teachers in 172 different Norwegian schools reveals that the integration of new technology into different subjects is far from the goals set by the Ministry. A total of around 1000 teachers responded to extensive questionnaires particularly developed for each one of 8 school subjects. The dominant uses in classrooms are related to standard software and Internet browsers. Very few teachers indicate that they apply software or technology going deeper into their subject teaching, promoting understanding and insight.
Physics demos for all UVEG degrees: a unique project in Spain
2016
Abstract The Physics Demo Project at the University of Valencia ( www.uv.es/fisicademos ) has developed a collection of physics demonstrations to be used during lectures. It consists of more than 130 experimental demos about different physics topics. More than 30 professors borrow them whenever they lecture on physics in any of our 40 courses in 17 different science or technical degrees, involving 246 ECTS and more than 3500 students. Each demo kit with a simple experimental set displays a particular physics phenomenon. An on-line user guide highlights the main physics principles involved, instructions on how to use it and advices of how to link it to the theoretical concepts or to technica…
Una propuesta para trabajar la proporción desde el arte
2013
[EN] We present a proposal addressed to students of the first courses of ESO. Through these activities, pupils will work concepts related with proportionality. Our proposal is developed along art history, the students will acquire skills related with proportionality through the uses the artists have done throughout history. Through a route beginning in ancient Egypt and ending in today Athens, students will act as the artists, architects or even tour guides to deal with technical problems and solve them mathematically. Some of the activities have been already implemented in the project Estalmat CV (a mathematic stimulation program for talented students) and later adapted to a conventional c…
Negociando el currículum en educación física. Una propuesta práctica de cogestión (Negotiating the curriculum in physical education. A practical prop…
2015
Este artículo tiene como finalidad describir críticamente el proceso de negociación del currículum en Educación Física en las etapas de secundaria y bachillerato, poniendo encima de la mesa los problemas que pueden surgir y aportando algunas soluciones para difundir su uso y aumentar de este modo la participación del alumnado en los procesos educativos. Esta propuesta está fundamentada en los resultados obtenidos en un estudio de casos en que participaron dos centros públicos de la Comunidad Valenciana: a) un grupo de 3º de secundaria con 17 alumnos y b), en una segunda fase, un grupo de 1º de bachillerato con 19 alumnos. El estudio, en que participaron los dos profesores de Educación Físic…
CONTENTS OF STUDY COURSES “HISTORY OF PEDAGOGY” AND „LITERATURE DIDACTICS” IN THE 40IES AND 50IES OF THE 20TH CENTURY – PROMOTER OF STUDENTS’ HISTORI…
2021
During the soviet times pedagogy in Latvia develops in difficult and controversial conditions. It becomes a specific area of influence and a propaganda tool, in which ideologised guidelines of soviet pedagogy prevail. So far Soviet experience in education theory and practice (1940–1941, 1944–1990) has not been fully identified and evaluated because it is “recent” history. People living during the soviet times have developed self-experience, based on which conclusions can be made. At the same time young people develop this experience in their daily life (communicating with people, watching and reading in the mass media), thus based on other people’s experience. One of the sources promoting t…

Lo que NO hacen los mejores profesores universitarios
2007
La Universidad de Valencia ha distribuido el libro Lo que hacen los mejores profesores universitarios, para que los profesores traten de adoptar las ideas que en él se exponen. Hace referencia, entre otras cosas, a que los mejores profesores universitarios no siguen cronogramas ni se someten a un temario prefijado, o no se coordinan con otros profesores que impartan su misma asignatura para, por ejemplo, evaluar a sus alumnos con exámenes comunes con los grupos impartidos por otros profesores. Tampoco están obligados a poner notas de 0 a 10 con una cifra decimal, y, por supuesto, no tienen prohibido examinar a sus alumnos.
