Towards practical reflexivity in online discussion groups
2017
This paper continues the discussion about student-driven, interactive learning activities in higher education. Using object-oriented activity theory, the article explores the relational aspects of reflexive practice as demonstrated in five online discussions groups to develop students’ conceptual understanding. The purpose of the research is to describe both the process of reflection during online interaction and how practical engagement with the discipline is supported through pedagogical guidance. The students wrote short texts on the practice of health promotion ethics and discussed their perspectives in relation to theory and research. The analysis proved the importance of structural de…
Doing what we teach : promoting digital literacies for professional development through personal learning environments and participation
2015
Despite the proliferation of social media, few learners make effective use of digital technology to support their learning or graduate with the skills necessary for developing and communicating their expertise in the knowledge-driven networked society of the digital age. This article makes use of the concept of Personal Learning Environments (PLE) to approach the question of how digital literacies for learning can be taught and learned in the context of higher education. It presents a model of a PLE course, the overall goal of which was to equip the learners with the skills and competences needed to create their own digital environments that would enable them to tap the online networks and …
A quantitative method to analyse an open-ended questionnaire: A case study about the Boltzmann Factor
2015
his paper describes a quantitative method to analyse an open- ended questionnaire. Student responses to a specially designed written questionnaire are quantitatively analysed by not hierarchical clustering called k-means method. Through this we can characterise behaviour students with respect their expertise to formulate explanations for phenomena or processes and/or use a given model in the different context. The physics topic is about the Boltzmann Factor, which allows the students to have a unifying view of different phenomena in different contexts
STRUCTURE AND CONTENT OF TEACHER COMPETENCIES
2018
Significant changes in the society of the XXI century determine the changes in the education system. Nowadays the challenge of promoting child development is important. Teaching subjects does not give a generalised idea about nature, society and people in general. Teachers need new competences to move to logic of human development in education. The article analyses teacher’s communicative, self-cognition and cognitive management, methodological and organisational function that are united and contribute to the balanced development of pupils, therefore, in accordance with these functions, it is necessary to acquire the corresponding competences. By analysing theoretical literature, the articl…
The periphrases we had forgotten: review and update of the treatment of «tener + participle» and «llevar + participle» in teaching Spanish as a Forei…
2020
Las perífrasis resultativas y presentan una particular complejidad para los aprendientes de español, que se ve agravada por una desatención generalizada en los materiales de Español como Lengua Extranjera (ELE). En este estudio, en primer lugar, llevamos a cabo un análisis del tratamiento que han recibido estas perífrasis en algunos manuales y gramáticas de ELE. Constatamos que, en la mayoría de casos, se han dado explicaciones insuficientes, confusas o excesivamente metalingüísticas de estas construcciones. Tras confirmar la necesidad de actualizar la enseñanza de y , llevamos a cabo una propuesta de sistematización de su tratamiento basándonos en los fundamentos teóricos de la gramática c…
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…
