First-year engineering students’ use of their mathematics textbook - opportunities and constraints
2012
Published version of an article in the journal: Mathematics Education Research Journal. Also available from the publlisher at: http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s13394-012-0040-9 The role of the mathematics textbook at tertiary level has received limited exposure in previous research although it is likely that students work individually and that some of this work depends on the use of the textbook. The aim of this study was to investigate the process of approaching the textbook from epistemological, cognitive, and didactical perspectives. The focus was on identifying and discussing the opportunities and constraints in the process. The study was an explorative case study and the participants were fi…
Datortomogrāfijas dakriocistogrāfijas atradne pacientiem ar epiforu
2016
Darba aktualitāte: Epifora kļūst ar vien biežāks simptoms sakarā ar vispārēju populācijas novecošanos. Viens no biežākajiem tās iemesliem ir asaru drenāžas ceļu obstrukcija, kas var būt primāri (PANDO) vai sekundāri iegūta (SANDO). Latvijā līdz šim nav veikts neviens pētījums, izmantojot datortomogrāfijas dakriocistogrāfiju, lai noskaidrotu asaru drenāžas ceļu obstrukcijas lokalizāciju un noteiktu riska faktoru ietekmi uz obstrukciju. Pētījuma mērķis: Noskaidrot un izvērtēt asaru drenāžas ceļu obstrukcijas lokalizāciju, noteikt iespējamo riska faktoru saistību ar obstrukciju. Materiāli un metodes: Retrospektīvā pētījumā tika analizēti 95 CT-DCG attēli, kas iegūti pacientiem ar epiforu. Tika…
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…
Theories on Teaching & Training in Ethics
2008
The paper examines the education and training of adults in ethics. It applies to courses at universities and colleges as well as in the work place. The paper explores the evidence on our ability to strengthen moral behaviour through courses on ethics, finds it to be weak, so starts with the assumption that we cannot teach people to be ethical. The paper asks therefore what the objectives of a course could be and how best to achieve them. It examines the different theories in the literature, eventually settling on four objectives: increasing moral cognition; teaching a widening and strengthening of ethical practices; adopting teaching approaches that maximise learning impact, and developing …
Review of the 10 Most Challengings Aspects of Making Hybrid Education Efficient and Enjoyable for Learners
2022
Our goal was to describe the 10 most challenging aspects that need to be considered when making hybrid education efficient and enjoyable for children. In this context, by hybrid education we refer to both emergency online education that took place in the COVID-19 outbreak in spring 2020 and to various forms of providing education combining online and onsite environments during the pandemic years. nonPeerReviewed
Incorporating teacher-student dialogue into digital course material : Usage patterns and first experiences
2020
This work-in-progress research investigates teacher-student communication via Learning Management Systems (LMS) in highly populated courses. An LMS called TIM (The Interactive Material) includes a specific commenting technology that attempts to make teacher-student dialog effortless. The research goal is to explore students’ willingness to use the technology and identify patterns of usage. To these ends, a survey with both Likert and open-ended questions was issued to CS1 and CS2 students. A favorable student evaluation was observed while several critical viewpoints that inform technology development were revealed. We noticed that besides appreciating the possibility of making comments, man…
Students’ comments about university teaching: which links with effectiveness models?
2015
Se presentan los resultados de un análisis temático de contenido sobre 550 comentarios dentro un proceso de evaluación instruccional en estudiantes de la Universidad de Mons. Se buscan vínculos entre las características del profesor eficaz según los estudiantes y una revisión de la literatura científica, contemplando, en primer lugar, la enseñanza efectiva en la educación primaria y secundaria, y en segundo lugar, se expone la valoración de las instrucciones acerca de los profesores en la educación superior. Los resultados informan de una relación entre los comentarios de los estudiantes y las instrucciones docentes, y que la gestión de aula del profesor dobla en dos veces a sus característ…
Tutkimus peruskoulun ja lukion opettajista Keski-Suomen alueella
2017
This study examined Information and Communications Technology (ICT) know-how and needs and challenges of teachers in-service training in the region of Middle–Finland. In this context impressiveness is seen as the congruence between the set aims and gathered results. The study approaches the subject matter through the opinions of teaching personnel. The study data was gathered from the focused interview questionnaires in many supplementary educational occasions of randomly picked teaching personnel in 2013, 2014, 2017 and also from personnel interwiew’s in 2013-2016. The study is aimed at the teaching personnel of Comprehensive Schools and Upper- Secondary Schools to investigate their ICT kn…
Analyzing online search patterns of music festival tourists
2020
Music festivals, as cultural events that induce tourism flows, intermediate both the cultural and travel experience. The present study analyzes online search behavior of potential attenders to a music festival. We hypothesize that the search process reveals latent patterns of behavior of cultural tourists planning to attend music festivals. To this end, information from Google Trends on queries related to three popular music festivals is used to build a network of search topics. Based on it, alternative exponential random graph model specifications are estimated. Findings support the general result of mediated information flows: music festivals induce planning and traveling queries. Howeve…
Imágenes y gestos en la fonética aplicada a la enseñanza de E/LE
2013
Cuando los profesores de E/LE enseñan la comunicación oral, se dan cuenta de que muchos estudiantes no pueden mantener una conversación por simple que esta sea debido, muchas veces, al escaso conocimiento que los alumnos tienen de la pronunciación. Una de las preguntas que se plantean los profesores, entonces, es la de cómo enseñar la fonética aplicada. En este artículo presentamos una experiencia de actividad didáctica innovadora, llevada a cabo con estudiantes universitarios francófonos. Esta actividad hace hincapié en las imágenes y en los gestos, y su objetivo es ayudar al estudiante a apropiarse correctamente de los sonidos que le causan mayor dificultad.
