The context of second foreign languages in Swedish secondary schools : results of a questionnaire to school leaders
2019
This article reports the results of a survey focusing on the educational context of second foreign languages (SFL) to which 147 Swedish secondary school leaders responded. The study aims to provide a picture of how SFLs like German, French and Spanish are organised in a representative selection of Swedish schools across the country. The results of the survey show that there are major differences between languages when it comes to the language offer and the number of pupils and teachers in the respective languages. Moreover, there are also important differences between schools, some of which can be related to educational, socio-economic and regional aspects of the responding schools. A gener…
“Following in the footprint of the teacher”: A methodological approach for the treatment of memory repression in the class
2017
La “represión de la memoria” es un fenómeno que reconstruye y tergiversa los recuerdos en torno al periodo de ciudadanía activa anterior a la Guerra Civil Española y en torno al brutal proceso represivo del régimen franquista, afectando así a la propia configuración de la sociedad actual. En este trabajo se realiza una diagnosis de este fenómeno en el espacio educativo y se presenta una propuesta didáctica que luche contra esta represión llevando la propia memoria al aula como objeto de estudio e intentando convertir a los alumnos en investigadores y, lo más importante, en ciudadanos críticos The “repressed memory” is a phenomenon that reconstructs and distorts memories around the active ci…
LAS COMPETENCIAS DEL PROFESORADO EN TIC: ESTRUCTURA BÁSICA (THE COMPETENCIES OF TEACHERS IN ICT: BASIC STRUCTURE)
2013
The ICT competences of teachers are a key variable for ICT integration in school. This paper presents a framework of indicators of competence in relation to two dimensions from a MIMIC model: the first one concerns technological competences and the second one has to do with pedagogical competences. The model includes the definition of a specific relationship between these dimensions and also the effects of a set of relevant factors: personal (gender, age and frequency of computer use) and contextual (type of educational institution, educational stage and access to computer classroom). The information was collected through a questionnaire answered by a sample of 868 teachers of elementary an…

Drawing on a graphic musical score, the participants worked together for 1.5 months to produce a group composition and performance. They were provided with various sound producers (instruments, everyday objects, technological devices) and were encouraged to flexibly utilize the physical space to maximize collab…

2015
Este trabajo estudia la presencia y complejidad en el tratamiento de las causas de la biodiversidad y de las razones para su conservación que realizan manuales escolares de la Educación Secundaria de España. Para ello, se determinó el ámbito conceptual y axiológico que define la comunidad de expertos, se examinó el tratamiento propuesto en el currículo español y se analizaron 50 manuales escolares (27 de la Educación Secundaria Obligatoria –ESO – y 30 del Bachillerato).
