¿Cómo afecta la innovación en la satisfacción y la lealtad hacia el establecimiento minorista?
2021
Resumen En el presente estudio, se examinó el concepto de innovación en el sector minorista y se definieron sus relaciones con otras variables, como la satisfacción y la lealtad, tradicionalmente vinculadas con el establecimiento minorista. Para lograr los objetivos planteados, se delimitó un modelo teórico sustentado en la literatura, que se contrastó mediante un estudio empírico utilizando un cuestionario estructurado ad hoc aplicado a una muestra de 510 clientes de establecimientos de alimentación. El análisis de los datos se desarrolló mediante la técnica de regresión por mínimos cuadrados parciales. Los resultados permiten proponer un conjunto de recomendaciones para la gestión, fundam…
Teachers’ intention to use educational video games: The moderating role of gender and age
2018
Educational video games represent an educational change that challenges teachers and managers of Higher Education institutions in several ways including their attitude formation and behavioural intention. Using a Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) approach a research model is developed to predict teachers’ behavioural intention to use educational video games in their courses. The research model is tested via structural equation modelling (SEM) on a sample of 312 Higher Education teachers. Main results suggest that perceived usefulness influences in a direct and positive way teachers’ behavioural intention while perceived ease of use indirectly influences intention through perceived usefulnes…
Haptic and Visual Feedback Assistance for Dual-Arm Robot Teleoperation in Surface Conditioning Tasks
2020
Contact driven tasks, such as surface conditioning operations (wiping, polishing, sanding, etc.), are difficult to program in advance to be performed autonomously by a robotic system, specially when the objects involved are moving. In many applications, human-robot physical interaction can be used for the teaching, specially in learning from demonstrations frameworks, but this solution is not always available. Robot teleoperation is very useful when user and robot cannot share the same workspace due to hazardous environments, inaccessible locations, or because of ergonomic issues. In this sense, this article introduces a novel dual-arm teleoperation architecture with haptic and visual feedb…
Higher education instructors' intention to use educational video games: an fsQCA approach
2019
Educational video games (EVGs) offer instructors a myriad of opportunities to motivate and engage students in the learning process. Nevertheless, instructors can be influenced by barriers that prevent them from using EVGs in their courses (e.g. lack of expertise with EVGs). Instructors can also be influenced by different drivers that might increase their intention to use EVGs. This research analyses the effects of four variables (perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, attention, and relevance) as factors contributing or preventing the use of EVGs by instructors serving in Higher Education institutions. Data of 170 instructors, who were surveyed through an online questionnaire using a …
Formulating 'principles of procedure' for the foreign language classroom: A framework for process model language curricula
2015
This article aims to apply Stenhouse's process model of curriculum to foreign language (FL) education, a model which is characterized by enacting principles of procedure which are specific to the discipline which the school subject belongs to. Rather than to replace or dissolve current approaches to FL teaching and curriculum development, this article seeks to improve and enrich communicative and task-based orientations with an additional criterion for assessing the educational worth of the tasks through which these orientations are developed. Unlike the objectives and competences models, principles of procedure provide an intrinsic justification of school curriculum by enacting the epistem…
Distance Learning for Social Distancing through LMOOCs: From Local to Massive and Back
2022
This chapter discusses the first step of the adaptation of a Language Massive Open Online Course (LMOOC) offered on EdX4 to be used in higher education contexts as a result of social distancing measures imposed by the COVID19 outbreak and the sudden pivot to online learning. The LMOOC contents recently underwent a process of redesign and conversion from small-scale to massive and now the opposite move is necessary: the LMOOC is to go local by becoming embedded in English classes in higher education contexts. Participants’ feedback was analyzed and compared with the criteria from a MOOC analysis matrix in terms of content variety, quality of contents and instructors, linguistic level and ade…

Dificultades de aprendizaje y cambio conceptual, procedimental y axiológico (II): nuevas perspectivas
2009
En este trabajo veremos como las ciencias cognitivas, las neurociencias, los estudios CTS, la educacion cientifica no formal, etc., ofrecen nuevas posibilidades de avance en el campo del aprendizaje de conceptos, procedimientos y actitudes, y tambien veremos otras perspectivas que amplian el dominio usual de la didactica de las ciencias. Por ultimo, se muestra como los modelos de ensenanza deben tener en cuenta estas dimensiones del aprendizaje de las ciencias, para contribuir a la solucion de los nuevos problemas que se plantean sobre la educacion cientifica.Palabras clave: ciencias cognitivas; neurociencias; estudios CTSA; ensenanza, aprendizaje.Learning difficulties and conceptual, metho…
Ambientes híbridos de aprendizaje
2022
Desde la línea de reflexión y trabajo sociocultural, entroncada en los aportes de Vigostky (2000), no existe aprendizaje al margen del contexto donde se aloja el proceso; esto es, el entorno educativo no es un decorado sin más alrededor de quien aprende -y de quien enseña-, sino parte de su explicación y su motor de desarrollo; no hay aprendizaje en abstracto: se aprende en un contexto que define las limitaciones y posibilidades de desarrollo. ¿Cómo esta idea sustancial puede tener cabida al pensar la relación entre la educación y la tecnología en la actualidad?. La respuesta a la interrogante anterior parte de la comprensión de un pequeño, pero significativo giro en la concepción de la res…
Air stable hybrid organic-inorganic light emitting diodes using ZnO as the cathode
2007
An air stable hybrid organic-inorganic light emitting device is presented. This architecture makes use of metal oxides as charge injecting materials into the light emitting polymer, avoiding the use of air sensitive cathodes commonly employed in organic light emitting diode manufacturing. We report the application of zinc oxide as a cathode in an organic light emitting device. This electroluminescent device shows high brightness levels reaching 6500 cd/m2 at voltages as low as 8 V. Compared to a conventional device using low workfunction metal cathodes, our device shows a lower turn-on voltage and it can operate in air.
