When Economics Meets Arts… in the Classroom
2016
Abstract The aim of this paper is to examine the opportunities for the use of art as an educational resource to stimulate creativity in the teaching of Economics. The need to promote skill development to encourage reflection, critical analysis, imagination, interpretation of reality, the anticipation of change, the seeking of alternatives, etc. is essential in this area of knowledge. The analysis of the use of art as an educational tool through a classroom experience shows the opportunities offered by this approach, although the extent of its use in university education in non-artistic materials is still very low.
Sharing Drawings with Smartphones in the Classroom – Art-Based Education in Social Sciences
2020
This article identifies the factors that indicate the opportunity of reviewing the methods in teaching economics in order to overcome the traditional teaching-learning scheme that overvalues rote learning and find formulas that facilitate the development of analytical skills. On the other hand, this work points out the importance of developing creative competences. One way to do this is to introduce artistic practices in the classroom, even in non-artistic subjects. In this work an experience of education based on the arts is presented. Thanks to smartphone cameras, students can share and project drawings in the classroom immediately to facilitate group learning. The proposal is to represen…

The theme fits perfectly with the objectives of this symposium since, according to the definition drawn up by the National Center of Geographic Information and Analysis, GIS serves "to solve complex planning and management problems". In fact, the GIS is today one of the most modern and effective tools in the tourism…

Which skills can develop innovative learning?
2013
Innovation has many forms and thus many ways of being acquired. Restricted by time and space, our aim here is limited to showing some of the ways to develop of innovation in learning. We suppose that certain skills are efficient in reaching this goal such as modeling, situation management, operational control, teamwork, appropriate orientation and that, in addition, certain personal or social factors like motivation also play a role. We try to provide a theoretical conceptual basis for designing guidelines for innovative learning and provide a foundation for its continued development. We believe that it is crucial to establish reference methods to strengthen the relationship between innovat…

Nowe tendencje edukacji pedagogicznej w Polsce i na Ukrainie w zmieniającej się rzeczywistości
2018
Artykuł dotyczy problematyki kształcenia studentów wyższych uczelni pedagogicznych w kontekście rozwoju i modernizacji systemu szkolnictwa wyższego. Podstawowym czynnikiem wymuszających zmiany są procesy związane z globalizacją, takie jak zmiana stylu życia związana ze wzrostem tempa interakcji społecznej pod wpływem nowych technologii, migracją ludności, transferem usług oraz unifikacja kulturową wynikającą z kopiowania modelów konsumpcji i nieograniczonego rozprzestrzeniania idei. Wobec tych gwałtownie przebiegających zmian, jednym z najważniejszych zadań dla kształcenia pedagogicznego wydaje się stworzenie systemu profesjonalnej edukacji nauczyciela potrafiącego sprostać przyszłym wyzwan…
