La participación del alumnado de magisterio en la construcción de un entorno virtual de aprendizaje. Análisis a partir del grupo de discusión
2013
The present work arises from the conviction on the essential need to inform to what extent the students involvement in the construction of a Learning Management System (LMS), can help to improve its functioning and the learning of the students. Specifically, it deeps on such learning process of the students on Primary Education Teaching in the University of Valencia, who are actively participating on the LMS for the ¿History of the School¿ course. In order to do so, on a methodological level, we have develop the discussion group. This qualitative technic permits to obtain qualitative material around their perceptions, interests, motivations, and attitudes related to LMS, as well as its poss…
El modelo constructivista y las relaciones Ciencia, Técnica, Sociedad
1992
SUMMARY The importance of the relations Science/Technology/Society with teaching and its convergence with the constructivist model in the science teaching-learning process, is shown in this paper. In the same way, the consequences to the students arisen from the lack of these relations in the daily teaching, are also shown.
Enseñanza/Aprendizaje de la ciencia versus historia de la ciencia
2018
<span>Podemos encontrar en la literatura abundantes argumentos a favor de la introducción de la historia de la ciencia en el curriculum de las asignaturas científicas de la enseñanza secundaria (Dana, 1990; Solomon, 1992). En este sentido, Nielsen y Thomsen (1990) señalan como beneficios obtenidos por los estudiantes que cursan asignaturas impregnadas de historia de la ciencia los siguientes...</span>
Teaching and Learning Chemistry with a Motivating Tool: one CLICK!
2021
The use of electronic response systems or “clickers” is a popular way to engage students and create an active-learning environment, especially within large courses of general subjects for first-year undergraduates. The present work examines with detail the methodology, the tasks and the results obtained respect to the students’ learning, participation, and engagement in the classroom. In general, students perceived that, clickers provided a significant enhancement to their learning, and teachers obtained real-time feed-back of how the concepts are assimilated or not by the students in order to quickly introduce improvements in their teaching.
Learning Corners in University Music Education: a proposal for implementation and assessment
2019
For teacher training, it is necessary to use innovative methodologies that allow students to experiment with them, as well as to obtain tools for their future work as teachers. This is true in the case of the methodology called "Learning corners", which we implemented and assessed in this research. A learning corners strategy was designed for 54 students studying for a Master's degree in Primary Education, within the music didactics module. The methodology included individual and collaborative activities in work teams. The results of the assessment revealed that this methodology promotes autonomy, motivation and learning, resulting in a useful resource for future teachers.
Proyectos educativos multidisciplinares y ayuda a la comunidad
2019
This paper relates an experience carried out at a higher education setting, specifically involving 3rd-year students in the Early Childhood Education degree programme. In relation to this, the paper presents an educational model that takes into account the need to develop ethical and social competences and gives importance to interdisciplinary education in real contexts. To this aim, all the academic modules that form part of this degree programme devote 25% of their teaching time and evaluation to the development of an interdisciplinary project. This paper will describe one of these projects, entitled "Solve a real problem", the design of which is informed by service-learning and problem-b…
A Framework for a Smart City Design : Digital Transformation in the Helsinki Smart City
2019
Recently, there has been substantial interest in the concept of a smart city, as it has been a viable solution to the dilemmas created by the urbanization of cities. Digital technologies—such as Internet-of-Things, artificial intelligence, big data, and geospatial technologies—are closely associated with the concept of a smart city. By means of modern digital technologies, cities aim to optimize their performance and services. Further, cities actively endorse modern digital technologies to foster digitalization and the emergence of data-based innovations and a knowledge economy. In this paper, a framework for a smart city design is presented. The framework considers a smart city from the pe…
The Evaluation of Social and Professional Life Competences of University Students Through Service-Learning
2021
The view previously held in the university regarding teaching-learning processes has changed significantly over the past few years. Undoubtedly, in the case of Europe, this change of pedagogical model has gone hand in hand with the creation of the European Higher Education Area (EHEA). Some of the pivotal areas of EHEA are the independent work of the individual student, the social dimension of learning, and the acquiring of skills, which are not reduced to the mere technical and/or subject matter knowledge. Generic competences and the so-called “soft skills” have also become important, given their significant contribution to the students’ academic, personal, social, and professional develop…
Joy of Mathematical Modelling: A Forgotten Perspective?
2020
We argue the relevance of including an affective perspective in the mathematical modelling education research and emphasise its importance for the teaching and learning of mathematical modelling at all levels, especially at the university. Our argument is supported by a recent survey of mathematics lecturers’ views on mathematical modelling, several follow-up interviews, and a review of literature on mathematical modelling that relates to enjoyment, pleasure, and appreciation. Findings from the survey and the follow-up interviews indicate that there is a group of practitioners who hold strong views on the importance of enjoyment in doing and teaching mathematical modelling.
Computer‐based and Face‐to‐face Collaborative Argumentation in Secondary Schools in England and Finland
2005
Abstract This article focuses on the analysis of secondary school students’ argumentative interactions in England and Finland, within specific face‐to‐face and computer‐based environments. We propose that a combination of learning environments, in conjunction with teacher input and support, is important for developing argumentation skills in the classroom. Face‐to‐face argumentation, in particular, offers ample opportunity for concentrating on the quality (through deeper exploration) of arguments; such learning can enhance the construction of well‐structured arguments often associated with some computer‐based environments, such as synchronous computer chat.
