What is (good) practitioner research?
2016
This special issue recognizes EAPRIL as being a platform for practitioner and practice-based research and by organizing the 10th annual conference for practitioner research on improving learning in education and professional practice. Papers in this conference and in this special issue are rooted in practice-based research or practitioner research. They reflect the popularity of practitioner research in vocational teacher education and in universities of applied sciences. Reason enough for the authors of the current paper to reflect on the question: “What is practitioner research?” And, more importantly what makes good practitioner research? Reviews show that people use broad interpretation…
Demand Response Service Certification and Customer Baseline Evaluation Using Blockchain Technology
2020
The use of Distributed Ledger Technologies such as Blockchain for certifying Demand Response services allows for the creation of a distributed system in which customers can communicate with the system operator to provide their flexibility, in a secure, transparent and traceable way. Blockchain technology also supports incentive mechanisms for users taking part in the service through the generation of utility tokens to recognize the user's contribution. This paper presents the experimental test of a novel methodology for Demand Response programs implementation by using the Blockchain technology. The latter is employed for defining a distributed Demand Response service and a new system for it…
When a new technological product launching fails: A multi-method approach of facial recognition and E-WOM sentiment analysis
2018
Abstract The dual aim of this research is, firstly, to analyze the physiological and unconscious emotional response of consumers to a new technological product and, secondly, link this emotional response to consumer conscious verbal reports of positive and negative product perceptions. In order to do this, biometrics and self-reported measures of emotional response are combined. On the one hand, a neuromarketing experiment based on the facial recognition of emotions of 10 subjects, when physical attributes and economic information of a technological product are exposed, shows the prevalence of the ambivalent emotion of surprise. On the other hand, a nethnographic qualitative approach of sen…
Technological, Pedagogical, and Content Knowledge of Future Teachers according to the TPACK model
2017
Si consideramos necesaria la integración de la tecnología en el aula, el rol del docente es fundamental. Los objetivos de esta investigación se centran en evaluar los conocimientos en base al modelo TPACK (Technological, Pedagogical and Content Knowledge) que perciben de sí mismos futuros docentes que están cursando un máster de capacitación para el ejercicio profesional. La metodología que se ha seguido es de carácter cuantitativo, descriptivo y correlacional. En el estudio han participado 694 alumnos de 6 universidades españolas, los cuales respondieron al cuestionario validado previamente. Los resultados obtenidos muestran que existe una alta autoevaluación de los conocimientos tecnológi…
Developing and Comparing Indices to Evaluate Community Knowledge Building in an Educational Research Course
2022
This paper implements a novel approach to analyzing the degree of Collective Cognitive Responsibility (CCR) in a Knowledge Building community, based on socioeconomic and scientometric measures. After engaging in Knowledge Forum (KF) discussions for one semester, 36 students identified impactful ideas in their portfolios, which were then used to develop their impact scores. These scores were then transformed and plotted along the Lorenz Curve and the Gini coefficient to visualize the degree of equidistribution of recognition in the community and, by extension, the degree of collective responsibility shared by members of the community. Additionally, students were classified into member roles …

Overview of the JET results in support to ITER
2017
The 2014–2016 JET results are reviewed in the light of their significance for optimising the ITER research plan for the active and non-active operation. More than 60 h of plasma operation with ITER first wall materials successfully took place since its installation in 2011. New multi-machine scaling of the type I-ELM divertor energy flux density to ITER is supported by first principle modelling. ITER relevant disruption experiments and first principle modelling are reported with a set of three disruption mitigation valves mimicking the ITER setup. Insights of the L–H power threshold in Deuterium and Hydrogen are given, stressing the importance of the magnetic configurations and the recent m…
La Vinculación Ciencia-Sociedad: Estereotipos y Nuevos Enfoques
2016
[ES]: La importancia social de la ciencia ha evolucionado notablemente desde mediados del siglo XX, dando lugar a un cambio en el enfoque y desarrollo de la actividad científica. En este contexto, se ha producido un aumento notable de los estudios que analizan en profundidad los procesos de intercambio y transferencia de conocimiento que se producen entre los investigadores y los agentes sociales, en gran medida para su promoción desde las políticas científicas e institucionales. Este artículo describe la evolución de los enfoques sobre las relaciones ciencia-sociedad y analiza los principales elementos de los procesos de intercambio y transferencia de conocimiento mediante un estudio empír…
Validación de la aplicación del modelo TPACK para la formación del profesorado en TIC
2015
La formación de los docentes para la utilización de las Tecnologías de la Información y la Comunicación (TIC) es hoy una necesidad incuestionable si queremos incorporarlas de manera educativa y significativa a los procesos de enseñanza aprendizaje, y no meramente como un añadido que funcione independiente del resto de variables curriculares (contenidos, estrategias, metodologías,..). La incorporación de las TIC al desarrollo profesional de los docentes se ve afectado por elementos tan peculiares como los diversos tipos de conocimientos que el docente posee. El diseño del modelo TPACK (conocimientos tecnológicos, pedagógicos y de contenidos), formulado fundamentalmente por Koehler y Mishra (…
Technology as an influential variable in the development of dialogical learning
2021
Schools have a responsibility to prepare new generations born in a globalized and interconnected world. The main objective of this paper is to analyze the role that technology plays in the development of dialogical learning in learning communities. We try to understand the influence that technology has in fostering communication and interaction in an educational project that presents interaction and words as basic learning tools. An instrumental, interpretive, and embedded case study is applied in which the communicative methodology is developed from interviews and two discussion groups. The singular case involves a rural school constituted as a learning community that is geographically spl…
