From Online Role-Play to Written Argumentation
2010
This chapter reports on a teaching experiment conducted during a blended learning course in social work in a Finnish university of applied sciences (polytechnic). The aim was to investigate how students’ multidimensional understanding of social problems could be fostered. As argumentative methods, the study used writing tasks, online role-play, and drama work. The data consisted of essays written by 65 students (experimental group 29; controls 36) in each of three phases, plus online discussions. The essays were based on 1) the students’ personal experiences, 2) general facts, and 3) a fictional case taken from the online role-play. Varying the focus of the writing task affected students’ s…
Blended Learning als Spielfeld für Learning Analytics und Educational Data Mining
2020
Der Einsatz digitaler Lernformate im Blended Learning bietet demnach Chancen in mindestens zwei Bereichen. Zum einen konnen digitale Lernformate direkt die Lernprozesse von Studierenden gunstig beeinflussen, ihre Leistungen verbessern und zudem positive Effekte auf vielen weiteren Ebenen wie der Motivation oder des Selbstkonzeptes bewirken. Zum anderen generieren digitale Lernformate eine Fulle von Daten in vielfaltiger Gestalt. Studierende erzeugen bei der Arbeit mit digitalen Werkzeugen Nutzungsdaten, wie Verweildauern und Aktivitatsprofile, sie produzieren Leistungsdaten aus digitalen Aufgaben, sie hinterlassen Textbeitrage in Foren und Chats. All diese Daten konnen genutzt werden, um mi…
El proyecto de investigación social como instrumento integrador de la praxis para los futuros/as trabajadores/as sociales
2015
El presente trabajo muestra los resultados de una investigación-intervención aplicada a los alumnos de cuarto curso de Grado en Trabajo Social. En este documento se articula una metodología de enseñanza colaborativa, significativa y crítica a partir de las evidencias de la práctica del Trabajo Social. Como conclusiones de este estudio se justifica el uso de la metodología Blended Learning en el espacio universitario. Se evidencia como con la participación y cooperación colectiva se favorece el desarrollo de competencias investigadoras, y se señala el proyecto de investigación social como herramienta que permite vincular las prácticas externas del alumnado con los elementos teóricos de la di…

Contenidos digitales y profesores universitarios: un estudio de caso sobre usos y prácticas docentes en campus virtuales
2014
El propósito de este trabajo es conocer las prácticas promovidas por los docentes universitarios de magisterio gracias al uso de contenidos digitales en campus virtuales. En esta comunicación se exponen los resultados preliminares de la investigación. La singularidad de este estudio viene marcada por la muestra, un estudio de casos, ya que se trata de cinco docentes que desarrollan su actividad profesional en universidades presenciales y online. Los primeros resultados verifican las diferencias que existen entre las universidades presenciales y online, entre otras: en el uso de la plataforma que hacen los profesores, la existencia o no de prácticas mediadas tecnológicamente, el uso y usos d…
Characterization by solid-state NMR and selective dissolution techniques of anhydrous and hydrated CEM V cement pastes.
2010
International audience; The long term behaviour of cement based materials is strongly dependent on the paste microstructure and also on the internal chemistry. A CEM V blended cement containing pulverised fly ash (PFA) and blastfurnace slag (BFS) has been studied in order to understand hydration processes which influence the paste microstructure. Solid-state NMR spectroscopy with complementary X-ray diffraction analysis and selective dissolution techniques have been used for the characterization of the various phases (C3S, C2S, C3A and C4AF) of the clinker and additives and then for estimation of the degree of hydration of these same phases. Their quantification after simulation of experime…
A blended-learning programme regarding professional ethics in physiotherapy students.
2018
Background: In the university context, assessing students’ attitude, knowledge and opinions when applying an innovative methodological approach to teach professional ethics becomes fundamental to know if the used approach is enough motivating for students. Research objective: To assess the effect of a blended-learning model, based on professional ethics and related to clinical practices, on physiotherapy students’ attitude, knowledge and opinions towards learning professional ethics. Research design and participants: A simple-blind clinical trial was performed (NLM identifier NCT03241693) (control group, n = 64; experimental group, n = 65). Both groups followed clinical practices for 8 mont…
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…
Conceptualising Design of Learning Management Systems to Address Institutional Realities
2018
There is growing interest in the use of E-Learning in higher educational institutions. However, studies have shown mismatches between Learning Management System (LMS) design and the general institutional context in developing countries. In this paper, we assess the design and implementation requirements for Makerere University LMS against the overall institution context. This research follows a qualitative method (interviews) and uses case study. We employ the design reality gap model to investigate the design requirements of the LMS against current institutional realities. A design reality gap of 46 was obtained implying ad-hoc measures need to be put in place otherwise the failure/stagnat…
