The relationship between interdisciplinarity and distinct modes of university-industry interaction

2019

Abstract Interdisciplinary research (IDR) has raised increasing expectations among scholars and policymakers about its potential to produce ground-breaking scientific contributions and satisfy societal demands. While existing research highlights that novel connections across fields is beneficial for scientific contributions with high academic impact, comparatively less is known about whether IDR is positively associated to scientists’ engagement with non-academic actors. To investigate this, we examine whether there is a systematic relationship between scientists’ IDR-orientation and their interactions with industry. We conceptually distinguish four stylized modes of interaction (firm creat…

The Sustainable University – A Model for the Sustainable Organization

2014

Abstract The issue of sustainable development (SD) is increasingly present among the concerns of the international academic community. However, the depth of our unsustainable practices suggests that insufficient progress has been made to move from an unsustainable lifestyle to sustainable development. By sharing ideas, concepts, tools, experiences learned in different contexts, it is anticipated that we will all learn many things that will help us to help our academic communities and companies to develop the skills to make progress towards sustainable development. In response to increasing concerns of society about environmental degradation and increasing demands for a transition to a more …

Evaluación del uso de un EVS y de mUVies en las aulas: una visión del profesorado y del alumnado

2019

[ES] La utilización de las Tecnologías de la Información y la Comunicación (TICs) y de las diferentes metodologías docentes innovadoras, que han hecho su aparición en un alto porcentaje de las materias que componen los actuales planes de estudio, ha resultado de gran ayuda en el proceso de autoaprendizaje del alumnado. Este es el caso de una asignatura de carácter cuantitativo del grado en Finanzas y Contabilidad de la Universitat de València. En el trabajo que se presenta, se expone, para el caso de dicha materia, la visión de cada uno de los agentes implicados en el proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje respecto al uso de un “electronic voting system” (EVS), los clickers, y de vídeos de apoyo …

Aprendizaje-servicio en el sistema universitario español. Un estudio enfocado en la evaluación de los proyectos

2020

In this article, 41 Service-Learning (SL) courses have been evaluated in 5 Spanish universities (4 public and 1 private), in order to determine whether they are SL initiatives or other type of educational practices. These experiences, which were implemented during the 2015/2016 academic year, covered degree programs from the five knowledge areas. Most of them involved Bachelor’s degree students and only one of them Master’s degree students. A qualitative methodology has been used, focused on content analysis and based on evaluations made by four experts. The analysis of the experiences points out an encouraging course of action for this methodology in the Spanish university system, showing …

Developing social competence and other generic skills in teacher education : applying the model of integrative pedagogy

2016

The purpose of the study was to examine how social competence and other generic skills can be developed in teacher education using a pedagogical model called Integrative Pedagogy. This model is based on the idea of integrating the four basic components of expertise: Theoretical knowledge, practical knowledge, self-regulative knowledge, and sociocultural knowledge. The subjects of the study were 95 student-teachers. The data were collected with questionnaires. In addition to social skills, the student-teachers reported learning of domain-specific skills, generic academic skills, skills for acting creatively in different situations and development of independence. We conclude that the model o…

Introducing Dialogic Teaching to Science Student Teachers

2011

It is commonly believed that science teachers rely on language that allows only minor flexibility when it comes to taking into account contrasting views and pupil thoughts. Too frequently science teachers either pose questions that target predefined answers or simply lecture through lessons, a major concern from a sociocultural perspective. This study reports the experiences of science student teachers when introduced to the Communicative Approach to science education drawing on dialogic teacher-talk in addition to authoritative teacher-talk. This approach was introduced to the students in an interventional teaching program running parallel to the student teachers’ field practice. The pract…

Teachers’ Implicit Meaning Systems and Their Implications for Pedagogical Thinking and Practice: A Case Study from Finland

2016

ABSTRACTThis qualitative case study examines teachers’ implicit meaning systems built around their core beliefs on the malleability of human qualities. Previous research has demonstrated the influence of students’ implicit theories on motivation and achievement and has presented successful interventions for students. However, research on teachers’ implicit theories and, in particular, their actualization in natural environments is lacking. The data for this study include observations and stimulated recall interviews with two Finnish teachers whose opposing implicit theories were first indicated in 2000 by Carol Dweck . The results depict how these teachers’ implicit meaning systems influenc…

Comparison of Interactive Teaching in Online and Offline Platforms among Dental Undergraduates

In recent years, the educational system has focused more on the holistic development of an individual. Modern technology has changed the educational environment to provide students with better academic opportunities. Along with the education system, teaching techniques and learning tools have also changed with digital evolution. This research was undertaken to assess the academic performance of interactive teaching methods in offline and online platforms in Periodontics among BDS undergraduates at a dental college in India. This prospective study was conducted among 49 students: Group I (n = 24, online class through Zoom) and Group II (n = 25, offline classes). The subject was divided into …

Análise dos novos anglicismos léxicos na língua espanhola no contexto das obras e corpus acadêmico digital

2020

Resumen Con la llegada del siglo XXI, las obras académicas en español empezaron a mostrar un mayor interés por el anglicismo léxico, reflejando así el uso generalizado que sociedad y medios de comunicación hacían de él. Paralelamente, la accesibilidad que supone la digitalización de corpus académicos, como el CREA y el CORPES XXI de la Real Academia Española, permite investigar la progresión de estas voces en los textos que los componen. Durante los últimos años, estos anglicismos se han ajustado a las necesidades de la lengua española tanto en España como en América, bien incorporando términos, bien adaptándolos o bien rechazando aquellos que se consideraban ya inservibles. A partir de est…
