2020
El objetivo de este trabajo es analizar cómo el rendimiento académico del alumnado puede verse influenciado por el uso de diferentes aplicaciones basadas en la metodología Mobile - Learning , el expediente académico, y la asistencia a las aulas. En particular este estudio, se centra en la forma en la cual el uso de la plataforma tecnológica Kahoot! en las aulas universitarias como herramienta complementaria a las clases magistr ales puede afectar al rendimiento académico de la asignatura. La base de datos utilizada para contrastar las hipótesis planteadas ha sido creada utilizando los datos obtenidos de 39 alumnas/os de la asignatura Dirección de Operaciones, una asignatura oblig atoria de …
Innovación en la gestión educativa: un estudio empírico
2021
ABSTRACT This paper analyzes the impact of innovative education tools-in this case, based on experimental methodology-on the acquisition of theoretical knowledge among management students. The study incorporates a clear split-sample design using two equivalent, randomly created groups. One group participates in a classroom experiment designed to illustrate the concept of the Phillips Curve, while the other participated in a traditional non-experimental lesson. The experiment is implemented under a strict protocol, while results evaluation is based on the comparison of post-experiment academic performance, which guarantees full anonymity and privacy of decisions. This design analyzes the imp…
Analysis of multiple intelligences and creativity in university students
2018
espanolResumen: Un reto de la educacion actual es formar a alumnos competentes para desenvolverse en una sociedad diversa y dinamica. El cociente intelectual no es suficiente para garantizar el exito academico ni profesional (Extremera & Fernandez-Berrocal, 2006) y deben considerarse aspectos cognitivos, sociales y emocionales. El objetivo del estudio fue analizar el grado alcanzado en estudiantes universitarios de trabajo social en las inteligencias multiples, inteligencia emocional, creatividad y rendimiento academico, asi como su relacion y las diferencias en funcion del sexo y el curso en una muestra de 100 estudiantes. Se encontraron diferencias significativas en funcion del curso y re…
Assessment itineraries and its relation with academic achievement
2017
[EN] In recent years the university educational reality shows signs of change. Among other innovations, it has meant the introduction of new ways of assessment, arousing the scientific interest it deserves. Concretely, the formative and shared assessment is developed in assessment routes that try to adapt to the needs of the students. However, the continuous, mixed and final assessment methods are related to different academic performance, which is worth considering. This article tries to deepen in the relation that these itineraries have with the obtained marks and analyses descriptively teacher assessment trends and students’ system assessment preferences of choice. The results show, on t…
New evidence on the Statistical Anxiety Scale (SAS)
2014
Las asignaturas relacionadas con la estadística suelen tener problemas de rendimiento académico. La ansiedad se relaciona de forma negativa con el rendimiento y en particular, la ansiedad estadística puede ser un constructo clave en la mejora de la enseñanza de esta materia y afines. La Statistical Anxiety Scale (Vigil-Colet, Lorenzo-Seva y Condon, 2008) se creó con la pretensión de ser útil para predecir el rendimiento académico en estadística. Se fundamenta en tres dimensiones de ansiedad referidas a tres aspectos específicos: respecto al examen, cuando se pide ayuda en la comprensión de estadística y en el proceso de interpretación de resultados. Esta estructura de tres factores fue hall…
Osservazioni intorno a Sopravvenienze e rimedi nei contratti di durata
2019
The essay deals with the subject of contractual change of circumstances and related remedies. In particular, the work focuses on the debate on the possibility of configuring a legal renegotiation obligation in the Italian legal system. The critical examination of favorable positions allows us to offer a more precise reading on the margins of application of the renegotiation.
Firm growth and profitability : The role of age and size in shifts between growth–profitability configurations
2023
To investigate the routes toward profitable growth, this study partially replicates and extends the work of Davidsson et al. (2009) on firm growth–profitability dynamics with multi-industry data on over 66,000 Finnish firms. The results support prior findings on initial profitability being more important than initial growth for achieving high performance in both performance dimensions. Additional investigations on the role of firm age and size reveal further interesting dynamics: Very small young firms face fewer risks from growing at a low profitability level than other firms, and the benefits of firm size for future performance depend on the firm's current profitability. The results advan…
Chronic Background Radiation Correlates With Sperm Swimming Endurance in Bank Voles From Chernobyl
2022
Sperm quantity and quality are key features explaining intra- and interspecific variation in male reproductive success. Spermatogenesis is sensitive to ionizing radiation and laboratory studies investigating acute effects of ionizing radiation have indeed found negative effects of radiation on sperm quantity and quality. In nature, levels of natural background radiation vary dramatically, and chronic effects of low-level background radiation exposure on spermatogenesis are poorly understood. The Chernobyl region offers a unique research opportunity for investigating effects of chronic low-level ionizing radiation on reproductive properties of wild organisms. We captured male bank voles (Myo…

Entextualization and resemiotization as resources for identification in social media
2014
Drawing on insights provided by linguistic anthropology, the study of multisemioticity and research in computer-mediated discourse (CMD), this chapter discusses how entextualization (Bauman & Briggs, 1990; Silverstein & Urban, 1996; Blommaert, 2005, pp. 46–8) and resemiotization (Iedema, 2003; Scollon & Scollon, 2004, pp. 101–3; Scollon, 2008) are key resources for identity work in social media. Three key arguments inspire and give direction to our discussion, each of them laying down touchstones for language scholars who wish to investigate identity in social media. First, for many individuals and social or cultural groups, social media are increasingly significant grassroots arenas for in…
