Digital competence in the curricula of Spanish public universities
2018
[EN] The massive incorporation of the technological resources in the classrooms of the infantile and primary centers has been a reality evident for some years, thanks to state plans like School 2.0 or autonomous ones like EducaMadrid or the Intelligent Educational Centers in the Valencian Community. And although much has been written in recent times about digital competence and the initial training of teachers in public universities, it is necessary to continue investigating and reflecting on their suitability and implementation in a society in continuous technological change. On this subject, in these lines it is tried to analyze the curriculum of the Teaching Degrees of several public uni…
La transición de Educación Primaria a Educación Secundaria Obligatoria: sentido y significado del uso de recursos y espacios digitales
2019
espanolEl cambio de la Educacion Primaria a la Educacion Secundaria Obligatoria supone el trasvase de informacion y la colaboracion entre centros para realizar acciones conjuntas que faciliten el proceso de transicion y aprovechen el potencial de aprendizaje que ofrece el cambio. Las Tecnologias de la Informacion y la Comunicacion tienen un papel destacado en este proceso de cambio, ya que suponen un medio que facilita la comunicacion e intervencion entre centros, entre familias y entre estudiantes. El proposito fundamental es analizar el grado en que estas son consideradas como beneficiosas en el proceso de gestion del transito de la Primaria a la Secundaria respecto a las tareas de trasva…
¿Qué explica la Física sobre la influencia de la Luna en la Tierra? Una propuesta de enseñanza
2021
En este trabajo se abordan ideas pseudocientíficas en torno a la influencia de la Luna en nuestro planeta. Para ello se analiza si los libros de Física de Bachillerato y de Educación Superior tratan la influencia de la gravedad de la Luna en la Tierra y cómo lo hacen. Para el análisis se utiliza una muestra de 17 libros de textos de Física de Bachillerato y 17 utilizados en cursos de ciencia e ingeniería (13 de Física, 2 de Óptica y 2 de Astronomía) de distintos años de publicación. Los resultados revelan la escasa atención que prestan estos libros a los temas relacionados con la física de la Luna y su influencia sobre nuestro planeta, así como un enfoque descontextualizado de la enseñanza …

De-naturalizing the “predatory”: A study of “bogus” publications at public sector universities in Pakistan
2022
Predatory publishing has recently emerged as a menace in academia. University professors and researchers often exploit this practice for their economic gains and institutional prestige. The present study investigates such existing predatory publishing practices in Pakistani public sector universities using Bourdieu’s (1991) concept of symbolic violence. For this purpose, we analyzed 495 articles published by 50 university professors in the social sciences and humanities over the period 2017-2021. We also conducted semi-structured interviews with 20 postgraduate students to gather their perspectives on publishing practices. The study shows that 69% of the sample papers were published in pred…
The use of the Dark Web as a COVID-19 information source : A three-country study
2022
The Dark Web (i.e., the anonymous web or Darknet) contains potentially harmful COVID-19-related information and content such as conspiracy theories and forged certificates. The Dark Web may particularly attract individuals who are suspicious about the pandemic, but there is no research concerning the use of the Dark Web as a COVID-19 information source. In this study, we investigated the role of COVID-19 skepticism, online activities, and loneliness in the use of the Dark Web platforms as a COVID-19 information source. The data (N = 3000) were gathered in April 2021 from 18 to 75-year-old respondents from Finland (n = 1000), Sweden (n = 1000) and the United Kingdom (n = 1000). The responden…
Adolescents' credibility justifications when evaluating online texts.
2022
AbstractResearch has shown that students differ in their abilities to evaluate the credibility of online texts, and, in general, many perform poorly on online evaluation tasks. This study extended current knowledge by examining students’ abilities to justify the credibility of online texts from different perspectives, thus providing a more nuanced understanding of students’ credibility evaluation ability. We examined how upper secondary school students (N = 73; aged 16 to 17) evaluated author expertise, author intention, the publication venue, and the quality of evidence when reading four texts about the effects of sugar consumption in a web-based environment. Additionally, we examined how …
Students’ evaluation of information during online inquiry: Working individually or in pairs
2019
Varying information quality and an increase of misinformation on the Internet accentuates the importance of supporting students’ competencies to critically evaluate information. This study compared how individuals and pairs of secondary students worked to evaluate the quality of online information across two inquiry topics. Two similar studies were conducted with 140 Finnish (Study I) and 52 US (Study II) students. Students were asked to conduct an online inquiry and then write an essay about one of two topics: allowing the genetic modification of organisms (GMO) or the effects of social media on people’s quality of life (SM). Students worked either individually or in pairs. Their work was …

The conflicting historical issues and their school approach: a Spanish example
2017
En este estudio se analiza la forma en que los “tiempos difíciles” de la reciente historia española (la Guerra Civil y la dictadura franquista, 1936-1975) han sido tratados tanto en los manuales escolares de historia como en el interior de las aulas, estableciendo, por una parte, los avances historiográficos y didácticos conseguidos y, por otra, las actuales insuficiencias y deficiencias de tales planteamientos desde la perspectiva de un tratamiento realmente democrático y reconciliatorio de los mismos. Los avances han sido muy lentos, tanto en las representaciones sociales del conjunto de la sociedad española como en su presentación escolar. Todo ello permite afirmar que esta cuestión sigu…
