Case study : curriculum access accommodations in preschool student with cerebral palsy
2012
Se presenta el contenido de una intervención con un alumno de educación infantil afectado de parálisis cerebral. La intervención se basa en una adaptación de acceso al currículum consistente en el diseño de tareas y actividades educativas con soporte informático accesible al alumno y adecuadas al nivel curricular propio para su edad y curso académico. Esta metodología garantiza al alumno un acceso al currículum minimizando los efectos de sus problemas de movilidad.
Educational Software Based on Matlab GUIs for Neural Networks Courses
2016
Neural Networks (NN) are one of the most used machine learning techniques in different areas of knowledge. This has led to the emergence of a large number of courses of Neural Networks around the world and in areas where the users of this technique do not have a lot of programming skills. Current software that implements these elements, such as Matlab®, has a number of important limitations in teaching field. In some cases, the implementation of a MLP requires a thorough knowledge of the software and of the instructions that train and validate these systems. In other cases, the architecture of the model is fixed and they do not allow an automatic sweep of the parameters that determine the a…
IWAL–An Interactive Weather Analysis Laboratory
2015
Abstract Complementary key elements of meteorological education are the provision of a thorough theoretical understanding of the physical laws governing atmospheric motions, and the hands-on investigation and visualization of specific weather systems. However, the latter task is technically challenging, because specific skills must be acquired for flexibly handling meteorological data. Some examples are superimposing satellite pictures and reanalysis fields, producing an isentropic potential vorticity (PV) map, and visualizing a vertical section across a flow feature of interest. Although learning these technical issues has its own merits, it can distract students from investigating the com…
Revista electrónica de investigación y evaluación educativa
2014
La Economía Experimental ha desarrollado diferentes experimentos que pueden ser aprovechados como una actividad docente en la enseñanza de la Economía. Su naturaleza activa y participativa motiva a los alumnos y estimula la reflexión y la mejor comprensión de algunos fenómenos económicos como el funcionamiento de los mercados, donde los resultados individuales dependen del conjunto de las decisiones de los agentes y de sus interacciones. Los experimentos económicos tienen ya una larga tradición, y han proporcionado resultados espectaculares y conclusiones ampliamente admitidas sobre la dinámica de mercados y el efecto de las instituciones económicas. Las nuevas tecnologías facilitan la real…
MATLAB-based educational software for exploratory data analysis (EDA toolkit)
2009
This article presents an educational software developed in order to enable engineering students to gain insight into data sets via the exploratory data analysis (EDA). This software has been developed using the MATLAB GUIDE tool. This article shows the program suitability for learning EDA in different engineering courses related to data analysis such as data mining or data processing courses. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Active learning in a real-world bioengineering problem: A pilot-study on ophthalmologic data processing
2019
Active learning is a format alternative to the conventional lecture/recitation/laboratory; research results have reported that it is suitable to encourage student inquiry and foster peer mentoring. Although the availability of computer-based learning materials in biomedical sciences is increasing, there are relatively few studies aimed to integrate traditional methods of teaching with inquiry-based approaches utilizing these Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) tools. This paper describes a pilot-study on a comprehensive active laboratory course about digital ophthalmologic signal classification, experienced by a group of undergraduates in Bio-Electronic Engineering. During the …
A software system to teach economics to secondary school and first year engineering students
2009
[EN] In this paper, we present a graphical user interface which has been devised to teach the basic concepts of economics in secondary schools and first year engineering courses. The application allows students to vary certain parameters and visually observe the effect on the supply and demand curves. The system has been developed in Matlab and employed in a secondary school in Spain. The first results are presented.
A virtual laboratory designed for teaching diffractive lenses
2010
[EN] We present a virtual laboratory generated in Matlab GuiQc (Graphical User Interface) for its use in Optics courses as an informatic tool for teaching the focusing properties of a diffractive lens. This Gui allows the students to learn easily and rapidly about the influence on the focal volume of the lens construction parameters. As an example in this work we analyze fractal diffractive lenses because we found that fractal geometry is a highly motivating topic for students since it is related to a wide range of scientific and technological phenomena.
Description of an experience to improve technological competence in a transverse way in the education of pre-service teachers.
2013
[ES] La adquisición de una competencia tecnológica que permita utilizar las TIC como herramienta educativa es uno de los objetivos que se plantean en los planes de estudio de la formación inicial de los futuros maestros y maestras. Sin embargo, entre estos planes de estudio, son pocas las asignaturas que se dirigen específicamente a analizar cómo utilizar esas TIC como herramienta educativa, por lo que este tema debe tratarse de manera transversal durante todas las asignaturas de estos estudios. En este trabajo se describe una experiencia en que se implementan diferentes actividades y se utilizan materiales educativos orientados al desarrollo de la competencia tecnológica en estudiantes de …
Raising Energy Saving Awareness Through Educational Software
2013
A study that I have conducted on a sample of 395 children aged 6 to 12, from both the urban and the rural environments, shows that an increasing number of them use computer related technologies. Today there are an increasing number of web sites that inform the user of different ways to save energy and to reduce energy consumption because it is only natural that the modern information society would go online to research such topics. The development of an educational application that is focused on teaching the children about energy saving is represented on a timeline. We conducted a study in which a number of 29 children, aged between 8 and 10, use this educational application and a questionn…
