Finnish Students’ Engagement in Science Lessons
2015
The decreasing number of students who are engaged in science learning has been recognised as a problem. The pre-conditions of engagement and actual engagement were examined using a novel research method to obtain detailed information on Finnish students’ engagement in different situations and to gain a better understanding of this phenomenon. The study’s participants consisted of 68 students (31 girls, 37 boys) from 9th grade and 67 students (46 girls, 21 boys) from 1st grade in upper secondary school. The research aimed to answer the following question: How does Finnish students’ engagement occur in exact and life science lessons? Participants received smartphones equipped with a smartphon…

2010
Il presente contributo esamina la letteratura relativa al problem solving matematico ed illustra uno strumento multimediale per la soluzione dei problemi aritmetici in bambini del secondo ciclo della scuola primaria e in bambini che presentano difficoltà in tale area. Il software presenta sia un modulo test, in cui vengono presentati problemi aritmetici di livello di difficoltà crescente, che un modulo di training. Il training è stato elaborato in base alle più recenti ricerche nell’area del problem solving matematico e prevede attività sulla comprensione, rappresentazione, categorizzazione e pianificazione del problema. Il training prevede inoltre particolari attività che stimolano l’uso d…
The use of Technology in the promotion of Children's Emotional Intelligence: The multimedia program "Developing Emotional Intelligence"
2018
"Developing Emotional Intelligence” is an Italian language multimedia tool created for children between 8 and 12 years of age. The software is based on the four ‘branches’ of model of emotional intelligence proposed by Mayer and Salovey and aims to evaluate and improve abilities in perception of emotions; using emotion to facilitate thought; understanding emotions; and managing emotions. In the software, four characters represent the four branches of emotional intelligence and guide children through the ‘world of emotions’ using drawings, animations, music, sounds and verbal instructions. The software is comprised of two components, namely an assessment section (27 items) and a training sec…
Validation study of an evaluation scale of ‘perceived social justice’ in the primary and secondary education
2018
La evaluación educativa se ha basado fundamentalmente en el éxito académico. Sin embargo, estudios recientes han valorado estudiar la percepción que el propio alumnado tiene sobre otros aspectos como, por ejemplo, el de la justicia social. Así pues, el objetivo general de nuestro trabajo es el diseño de un instrumento que permita evaluar la percepción que crea el alumnado sobre justicia social educativa (JSP-E) a partir de las interacciones y relaciones que se establecen entre alumnado y profesorado. El constructo “Justicia Social Percibida en la Educación" se incluye dentro de la dimensión de equidad del modelo de evaluación de instituciones y sistemas educativos definido en Jornet (2012) …
The Raising Factor, That Great Unknown. A Guided Activity for Undergraduate Students
2020
In the first years of their economics degree programs, students will face many problems successfully dealing with a range of subjects with quantitative content. Specifically, in the field of statistics, difficulties to reach some basic academic achievements have been observed. Hence, a continuing challenge for statistics teachers is how to make this subject more appealing for students through the design and implementation of new teaching methodologies. The latter tend to follow two main approaches. On the one hand, it is useful for the learning process to propose practical activities that can connect theoretical concepts with real applications in the economic context. On the other hand, we …
Workplace-based assessment of communication skills: A pilot project addressing feasibility, acceptance and reliability
2016
Background: Imparting communication skills has been given great importance in medical curricula. In addition to standardized assessments, students should communicate with real patients in actual clinical situations during workplace-based assessments and receive structured feedback on their performance. The aim of this project was to pilot a formative testing method for workplace-based assessment. Our investigation centered in particular on whether or not physicians view the method as feasible and how high acceptance is among students. In addition, we assessed the reliability of the method. Method: As part of the project, 16 students held two consultations each with chronically ill patients …
Educación patrimonial y fotografía estereoscópica: intervención didácti
2019
La inserción de la tecnología digital para el trabajo del patrimonio material e inmaterial puede convertirse en una herramienta creativa que refuerce el papel del maestro/a como agente educador del patrimonio local (en la línea de lo sugerido en el Plan Nacional de Educación y Patrimonio (PNEyP)). Además, este tipo de recursos permiten el desarrollo de herramientas que mejoran la interpretación de los entornos patrimoniales y los acercan al alumnado. En esta propuesta de innovación se expone una intervención didáctica original realizada con discentes de sexto de Educación Primaria en el entorno del Castell de Marinyén (Benifairó de la Valldigna, Valencia) por medio de la utilización de la f…
A produção de documentários como recurso didático TIC para o ensino de geografia e história: metodologia e proposta de trabalho
2015
Nos últimos anos estamos assistindo a uma mudança de paradigma educativo. A inclusão de novas tecnologias nas aulas está transformando as formas de ensinar e transmitir conhecimentos, assim como o modo em que os alunos utilizam os conteúdos e os aplicam em sua vida diária. É fundamental, portanto, dotar essas novas Tecnologias da Informação e Comunicação (TIC´s) de um papel concreto na educação com propostas de inserção em atividades para trabalhar, por exemplo, nas ciências sociais. O presente artigo, fruto de práticas realizadas nas aulas em contextos escolares e universitários no Brasil e na Espanha, pretende apresentar os resultados da utilização da produção de documentários no ensino d…
Valor social subjetivo de la educación: docencia y resultados escolares
2014
La educación posee un valor social evidente que puede presentarse a través de diferentes indicadores de evaluación. La percepción que la sociedad pueda construirse acerca de ese Valor Social de la Educación (VSE), además de la que tenga la comunidad educativa en sí misma (alumnado, profesorado y familias), se aproxima a la idea de constructo de Valor Social Subjetivo de la Educación (VSE-Subjetivo). En este sentido, se ha realizado una revisión a nivel internacional de diferentes cuestionarios de contexto, en la cual se han identificado 45 pruebas (referidas a PIRLS, PISA, EXCALE, SERCE, TIMSS, ICCS, TALIS, etc.) en las cuales se han identificado 111 reactivos relacionados directamente con …
