The socio-ecological and personal determinants of school performance and motivation of high school students
2022
For decades, and with the work of Moos (1979) and Walberg (1969), educational research has consistently demonstrated the importance of the personal characteristics of students and the socio-ecological characteristics of the classroom in determining the affective and cognitive development of students.Unfortunately, no research on this subject has been done in France with high school students. This is why we set ourselves the objective of studying the environmental and personal determinants of high school students' academic performance and motivation. Using the L.E.I (Walberg, 1969) and EMMAS (Ntamakiliro et al., 2000) measurement scales, as well as data collection from 405 students enrolled …
La formación tecnológica del profesorado de música en educación secundaria; un estudio de intervención basado en la integración de contenidos musical…
2021
El presente trabajo de carácter descriptivo-exploratorio forma parte de un trabajo de mayor alcance realizado en Chile y España. Su objetivo ha sido fortalecer la formación tecnológica de los futuros profesores de música en Ed. Secundaria mediante el diseño, la implementación y la evaluación de una materia en dos cohortes consecutivas (cohortes 2017 y 2018, n= 81). En el diseño de intervención se tuvo en cuenta en su diseño componentes de alfabetización tecnológica, y dos estrategias de aprendizaje: proyectos (ABP) y trabajo cooperativo. La novedad del diseño consiste en la adaptación de un marco teórico de integración de contenidos disciplinares-tecnológicos-pedagógicos denominado TPACK q…
Good Servants but Poor Masters: On the Important Role of Textbooks in Teaching English Pronunciation
2014
Textbooks are the most commonly used teaching materials among European EFL teachers (Henderson et al., 2012), and it is undeniable that they have a central role in foreign language teaching overall. Scholars across time have claimed that the role of textbooks cannot be overestimated: textbooks determine a major part of classroom teaching (see Sobkowiak, 2012). This paper discusses the influence of textbooks in English pronunciation teaching in an EFL environment. It presents a study in which the occurrence of four typical pronunciation teaching task types and four pronunciation teaching topics were analysed in three data sources: textbooks, classroom observations, and learner interviews. Th…
«Student Voice» per la valorizzazione delle risorse personali
2017
Negli ultimi dieci anni, un nuovo movimento di opinione in campo educativo si è diffuso in Italia per stimolare i responsabili delle politiche educative e gli insegnanti di ogni ordine e grado dell’istruzione ad ascoltare attentamente le voci, nonché i bisogni e gli interessi di tutti gli studenti. Si tratta del movimento «Student Voice», nato negli anni Novanta nel Regno Unito e diffusosi in alcuni Paesi di area anglofona (USA, Canada, Australia). Questo movimento sostiene la partecipazione attiva e responsabile di tutti gli studenti ai processi formativi che si attivano nelle scuole e nelle università: nello specifico, questa partecipazione si esplica nella didattica in aula, nelle ricerc…
Contextualized project-based learning for training chemical engineers in graphic expression
2021
Abstract This paper describes the planning of a computer-aided design (CAD) laboratory for training chemical engineers in graphic expression. The CAD laboratory was organised into four projects following a project-based learning method. Flipped classroom and contextualised learning were used to motivate the students and promote meaningful learning. The laboratory mainly focused on engaging the students by replicating 2D and 3D plans of common industrial engineering equipment and piping and instrumentation diagrams of industrial facilities. Two surveys carried out before and after the course showed that the student’s perception of their graphic expression skills significantly increased. Gend…
Off-line Programming and simulation for automatic robot control software generation
2007
In this paper an off-line programming approach for welding robots is presented. The approach is based on the integration of a software tool for robot simulation and an user-friendly interface for automatic generation of the control program. The user can graphically arrange the components in a robotic work-cell and simulate the movements and operations of robotic arms before converting motions and operating sequences in controller-specific tasks. This methodology guarantees high level of flexibility of the robotic system when high variety of work-pieces needs to be welded. The approach has been implemented and tested in a real welding work-cell.
Mediated learning materials: visibility checks in telepresence robot mediated classroom interaction
2021
Videoconferencing is increasingly used in education as a way to support distance learning. This article contributes to the emerging interactional literature on video-mediated educational interaction by exploring how a telepresence robot is used to facilitate remote participation in university-level foreign language teaching. A telepresence robot differs from commonly used videoconferencing set-ups in that it allows mobility and remote camera control. A remote student can thus move a classroom-based robot from a distance in order to shift attention between people, objects and environmental structures during classroom activities. Using multimodal conversation analysis, we focus on how partici…
Student Performance Prediction Based on Blended Learning
2021
Contribution: This article explored blended learning by implementing a student-centered teaching method based on the flipped classroom and small private online course (SPOC). The impact of general online learning behavior on student performance was analyzed. This work is practical and provides enlightenment for learning analysis and individualized teaching in blended learning. Background: Providing individualized teaching in a large class is an effective way to improve teaching quality, but the traditional teaching method makes it difficult for teachers to learn about each student’s learning situation. Blended learning offers the possibility of individualized teaching for teachers. The comb…
Exploring Realistic Mathematics Education in a Flipped Classroom Context at the Tertiary Level
2020
AbstractFlipped classroom (FC) pedagogical frameworks have recently gained considerable popularity, especially at secondary school levels. However, there are rich opportunities to explore FC at tertiary levels, but progress on the area requires instructors’ attention to well-designed tasks for students’ collaborative learning. Realistic Mathematics Education (RME) provides a foundation for the development of such tasks. This article advances research on the role of task design in a FC context by considering how RME heuristics may be developed to include the out-of-class phase, where students prepare for in-class work with videos. This adaption, named flipped RME classroom design, is explore…
Flipping and Blending : An Action Research Project on Improving a Functional Programming Course
2016
This article reports on an action research project on improving a functional programming course by moving toward a practical and flexible study environment—flipped and blended classroom. Teaching the topic of functional programming was found to be troublesome using a traditional lectured course format. The need to increase students’ amount of practice emerged while subsequent challenges relating to students’ independent practical coursework were observed. Particular concerns relating to group work, learning materials, and the attribute of flexibility were investigated during the third action research cycle. The research cycle was analyzed using a qualitative survey on students’ views, teach…
