Using Digital Resources for Content and Language Integrated Learning: A Proposal for the ICT-Enrichment of a Course on Biology and Geology
2019
Hoy en día se utiliza una gran variedad de herramientas digitales para apoyar la enseñanza y el aprendizaje de lenguas. Sus potenciales efectos positivos en el proceso de aprendizaje pueden ser particularmente útiles para abordar los retos que surgen en enfoques como el Aprendizaje Integrado de Contenidos y Lenguas Extranjeras (AICLE), donde se espera que los estudiantes consigan dominar no solo el contenido de la asignatura, sino también la lengua extranjera que se utiliza como medio de comunicación. Este artículo tiene como objetivo ofrecer una propuesta de enriquecimiento digital de cursos AICLE, la cual ha sido implementada en una asignatura de Biología y Geología en inglés impartida en…
The meaning of peer group mentoring in the university context
2019
Peer mentoring is commonly used for didactical and learning purposes. In this study we examine peer group mentoring in the university context. The aim is to promote understanding of peer group mentoring based on a meta-analysis of two primary studies: teacher students and teacher group tutors. As a result, three core categories were found: 1) Individual’s participation in the group, 2) Professional development with others and 3) Community enabling sharing and development. These were hierarchically organized and there are critical aspects placed in between the core categories. Professional and personal experiences intertwine to enhance participants’ self-understanding and professional develo…
VIRTUAL CLASSROOM: TEACHER SKILLS TO PROMOTE STUDENT ENGAGEMENT
2018
The Virtual Classroom is the main tool for blended learning, since it allows the breaking of time and space barriers between the teacher and the student. In order to develop and put into practice a higher studies course through this tool, teachers need to have a series of skills related to the command of digital technologies and an understanding of students’ affective and behavioral states: and to then apply appropriate communication strategies to deliver course content and prepare students for this innovative learning approach. This study reviews educational research literature on virtual classrooms, teacher behavior and student engagement to establish a theoretical model that explains the…
The Use of Digital Storytelling for ESP in a Technical English Course for Aerospace Engineers.
2012
Digital Storytelling is a powerful pedagogical tool for both students and educators, which started to be used for teaching and learning purposes a few years ago, becoming more and more popular over time. The use of digital storytelling in non-specific language learning contexts has been widely explored, as shown in the literature. However, its use in technical-scientific contexts of English for Specific Purposes (ESP) has not been so widely studied. This paper explores a project of digital storytelling for ESP carried out at the Universitat Politècnica de València, in Spain. The methodology was divided into several stages: completing a pre- and a post-survey, learning about digital storytel…
L'église Saint-Symphorien de Nuits-Saint-Georges. Un syncrétisme architectural et décoratif vers 1220-1240
2011
La chiesa di Saint-Symphorien di Nuits-Saint-Georges in Borgogna, che risale approssimativamente agli anni 1220-1240, si colloca nella fase di transizione tra due stili architettonici e testimonia un’eredità cistercense, locale ma alquanto tarda, che alcuni elementi gotici urbani e più innovativi modernizzano. Inoltre la chiesa partecipa – per le stesse ragioni di quelle di Agencourt, Gerland e Prissey – a una sorprendente ondata di ricostruzioni che dimostra tra l’altro l’importante sviluppo economico della regione di Cîteaux all’inizio del secolo XIII.
Components i organització d'una unitat amb un tractament integrat de llengua i continguts en una L2
2008
In an educational system like ours, with four curricular languages in compulsory education, language integrated treatment and its contents (TILC) has to become, undoubtedly, a privileged instrument for multilingual education, because it allows to fulfil two goals at the same time: to acquire contents of different academic disciplines and to simultaneously provide competences in the language or languages with which these contents are developed. This article describes the concept of integrated language treatment and contents; the main components of this approach are also analyzed from a didactic point of view; and finally all the aspects studied will be used in the structuring of a thematic u…

High Performance 3D PET Reconstruction Using Spherical Basis Functions on a Polar Grid
2011
Statistical iterative methods are a widely used method of image reconstruction in emission tomography. Traditionally, the image space is modelled as a combination of cubic voxels as a matter of simplicity. After reconstruction, images are routinely filtered to reduce statistical noise at the cost of spatial resolution degradation. An alternative to produce lower noise during reconstruction is to model the image space with spherical basis functions. These basis functions overlap in space producing a significantly large number of non-zero elements in the system response matrix (SRM) to store, which additionally leads to long reconstruction times. These two problems are partly overcome by expl…
A novel solution based on scale invariant feature transform descriptors and deep learning for the detection of suspicious regions in mammogram images.
2020
Background: Deep learning methods have become popular for their high-performance rate in the classification and detection of events in computer vision tasks. Transfer learning paradigm is widely adopted to apply pretrained convolutional neural network (CNN) on medical domains overcoming the problem of the scarcity of public datasets. Some investigations to assess transfer learning knowledge inference abilities in the context of mammogram screening and possible combinations with unsupervised techniques are in progress. Methods: We propose a novel technique for the detection of suspicious regions in mammograms that consist of the combination of two approaches based on scale invariant feature …
