Students’ self-reported learning outcomes after a business start-up education program
2019
The aim of the present study is to examine the breadth of influence of a business plan-based entrepreneurship education. This task is implemented by examining students’ (n = 227) self-reported learning outcomes concerning entrepreneurial skills, attitudes and abilities after education. In addition to proposing a classification of the self-reported learning outcomes, this study explores how these outcomes are related to the background characteristics of those taking part in an education program, and of the companies involved. Based on this study, four main areas of self-reported learning outcomes were found: (i) working-life key skills, (ii) management skills, (iii) entrepreneurial empowerme…
Developing a Pedagogical Framework and Design Principles for STEM Learning Environment Design
2020
The need for effective and attractive learning environments (LEs) for science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) has been internationally recognized. Additionally, the connection between STEM learning and cross-curricular skills such as creativity, innovation, and entrepreneurship has garnered attention. A deep theoretical and empirical understanding is required when designing STEM LEs. In this study, a pedagogical framework for STEM LEs has been developed based on feedback from students, aged 10–18 years old, teachers, school directors, parents, and STEM professionals, and supported by the literature. First, representatives of key stakeholder groups in Belarus, Finland, Germa…
Behavioural responses of breeding arctic sandpipers to ground-surface temperature and primary productivity
2021
Most birds incubate their eggs, which requires time and energy at the expense of other activities. Birds generally have two incubation strategies: biparental where both mates cooperate in incubating eggs, and uniparental where a single parent incubates. In harsh and unpredictable environments, incubation is challenging due to high energetic demands and variable resource availability. We studied the relationships between the incubation behaviour of sandpipers (genus Calidris) and two environmental variables: temperature and a proxy of primary productivity (i.e. NDVI). We investigated how these relationships vary between incubation strategies and across species among strategies. We also stud…

Academic performance and students' teaching assessment in pilot experiments of European Higher Education
2007
In this work we show a study based on an analysis of academic marks as well as on a teaching valuation of a students sample participating in a pilot experience for the European Credit System Implantation in the Music Teachers Instruction Course. We also detail the way of evaluating the students and the resources used to valuate the teaching. We analyse the differences between the student’s marks and their opinion about the teaching in two students groups, one of them using a traditional teaching system and the other one using such experience for the European Credit implantation.
Use of Movies in an accounting class as a teaching technique to promote learning about financial reporting and ethical issues
2021
[EN] This study presents an innovative experience using movies in an accounting class. The learning experience was found interesting and useful for the learning process in three groups in University XXX. The students voluntarily watched three movies and answered a test for each one, containing questions about the ethical and accounting concepts in the film, as well as their satisfaction with the methodology. Non-parametric tests have been computed to assess if those students that watch a movie obtain a higher exam mark as compared to those that do not follow the methodology, as well as for the other accounting and ethical questions. Our results show that there is a particular film that evid…
Interaction of half-sandwich alkylmolybdenum(III) complexes with B(C6F5)3. The X-ray structure of [CpMo(η4-C4H6)(μ-Cl)(μ-CH2)(O)MoCp][CH3B(C6F5)3]
2001
Abstract The reactions of the half-sandwich molybdenum(III) complexes CpMo(η 4 -C 4 H 4 R 2 )(CH 3 ) 2 , where Cpη 5 -C 5 H 5 and RH or CH 3 , with equimolar amounts of B(C 6 F 5 ) 3 have been investigated in toluene. EPR monitoring shows the formation of an addition product which does not readily react with Lewis bases such as ethylene, pyridine, or PMe 3 . The analysis of the EPR properties and the X-ray structure of a decomposition product obtained from dichloromethane, [CpMo(η 4 -C 4 H 6 )(μ-Cl)(μ-CH 2 )(O)MoCp][CH 3 B(C 6 F 5 ) 3 ], indicate that the borane attack has occurred at the methyl position.
Estrategias para la enseñanza del lenguaje académico. Dominio desde la instrucción de las destrezas orales
2017
Resumen: La presencia cada vez más numerosa de estudiantes de movilidad procedentes de distintos países comunitarios y extracomunitarios en las aulas de nuestras universidades hace necesario habilitar un espacio curricular para ellos. No hay que olvidar que su presencia es parte de los objetivos marcados por el proyecto del Espacio Europeo de Enseñanza Superior (EEES); y una correcta integración de este tipo de alumnado respondería a las aspiraciones de internacionalización de la Universidad. La pretensión de esta propuesta es exponer el mecanismo de los cursos en los que a partir de la instrucción en las destrezas orales se establece la base para profundizar en el aprendizaje de la expresi…
Assessment of Academic Literacy
2015
La alfabetización académica se ha convertido en uno de los objetivos de la Educación Superior, donde la escritura se transforma en una herramienta de aprendizaje. El Marco Español de Cualificaciones para la Educación Superior (MECES) gradúa los resultados de aprendizaje esperados en los estudiantes universitarios en relación a la alfabetización académica en los títulos oficiales de Grado, Máster y Doctorado. La evaluación de la alfabetización académica se plantea como una comunidad de discurso donde el objeto y objetivo, las tareas, las modalidades, los criterios y los estándares de evaluación se centran en el proceso de la escritura epistémica en un contexto académico. Una evaluación para …
Psychometric analysis of a perception scale on the usefulness of Moodle in the University
2014
Because of the relevance acquired by the learning management systems in higher education, and the spread of use of the Moodle platform in many academic institutions, a scale of perceived usefulness on the use of Moodle in this context is designed. Furthermore, the study tested the psychometric validity of the scale. The aim is to provide a reliable and valid instrument to measure the students’ perception about the usefulness of Moodle. From the population of university students in Educational Sciences field, the study obtained a sample of 754 subjects. The results show that the scale evaluates the utility of the platform adequately in five dimensions: content, activities, assessment, intera…
