Improvement of balance in a 7-year-old child through a six-week learning programme

2018

Given that human beings are constantly subjected to equilibration processes, developing basic perceptual motor skills, especially balance, is important. The main purpose of this study is the validation of the tasks and the progression of activities that form the learning programme for balance development in a six-week didactic unit of 12 sessions (2 sessions per week), for 6 to 9 year old children (1st, 2nd, and 3rd grade of elementary school in Brazil). The changes in balance after applying the programme are also analysed through a new measuring protocol using baropodometry. Although the session was put into practice in a class of 28 children, data were extracted from a 7-year-old child. T…

A study of the difficulties involved in introducing young children to judo techniques: a proposed teaching programme

2009

Background: The study seeks to analyze the difficulty of implementing the fifteen techniques that make up the program of 1(st) Dan Black Belt in the Spanish context. The objective is to establish a sequential order, depending on the level of difficulty, allowing us to draw up a teaching program more consistent with the initiation process at early ages.

Towards Personalization of Peer Review in Learning Programming

2017

Peer review is one of the effective processes for sharing knowledge and improving overall learning performance. This became more popular by the use of ICT. However, it is challenging to implement peer review in learning programming languages due to the complexity of the subject matter. A group of peer reviewers may have different overall performance but similar weaknesses on a given aspect of the programming tasks. Hence, they may not be able to help each other to address individual needs. In this paper, we present a personalized approach to peer review with consideration to criteria based assessment and individual performance on specific programming tasks. This is achieved using a novel pe…

Lessons learned from Creation of Digitally Competent Educators SLP

2021

[Introduction] Mismatch of competences and socio-economical results of this issue is recognized as an important problem for higher education institutes (HEIs) in Europe. To cope with this issue HEIs need to create new more flexible and modular structures. In this context, a European HEIs are encouraged to create micro-credentials and short learning programmes (Futures et al., 2020). European Short Learning Programmes (E-SLPs) are one of these new and flexible structures suggested by an EU Project funded under Erasmus+ Programme, Key Action 3: Support for Policy Reform, Initiatives for Policy Innovation, "Forward Looking Cooperation Projects". SLPs have potential to respond to market needs a…

Analysing students’rating of the SLP Digitally Competent Educators

2021

This article uses student feedback to examine the perspective of participants in the short learning programme (SLP) pilot Digitally Competent Educators (DCE). This SLP was targeted at the continuous professional development and lifelong learning for educators at various levels and several education areas. Student feedback was collected in 2020 using anonymous surveys at the end of each course. This implies that respondents were those participants who completed the course. Feedback, used on further development of the SLP, focused on the content and implementation of the course modules. The SLP followed the design guidelines produced inside the E-SLP project and was based on the Digital Compe…

Design guidelines for flexible and scalable SLPs

2020

The project “European Short Learning Programmes” (E-SLP) aims at developing networked Short Learning Programmes, which answer societal needs and provide flexibility to learners. Within the project SLPs are understood as short-term academic programs situated between singular learning units and more extensive academic programs. They offer academic training for selected topics that are of high relevance to certain target groups or introduce new skills that are highly relevant for primarily lifelong/adult learners in employment (D.2.1 E-SLP). A Short Learning Programme (SLP) is an educational programme with a sequenced set of components (units, modules or other learning building blocks). It is …

Report on collaborative SLPs and related mobility

2020

This report (D6.2) outlines the work carried in Work Package (WP) 6 of this project E-SLP, where 5 actual SLP pilots were designed, implemented and delivered to students. This report builds on the cooperation model described in D6.1, and the work done in WP2 "Concept and role of SLPs in European HE” and WP3 “Institutional policies for SLP’s”. Furthermore D.6.2 describes the methodology used to design each pilot, detailing its target group, study level, contents and programme characteristics. The lessons learned from these pilots will be detailed in D.6.3 “Models and guidelines for the collaborative development and delivery of SLPs and related mobility”, which add the experience level to rep…

Report on models and guidelines for the collaborative design, development and delivery of SLPs

2021

This document refers to deliverable 6.3 on the development of models and guidelines for the collaborative development and delivery of short learning programs and related mobility. Originally started with an introductory document, based on experience and expertise with joint Erasmus Mundus programmes, the Networked Curriculum Project (NETCU) and the work on the EADTU Mobility Matrix, this document builds further on the experience of the pilots in the ESLP project (WP6) and from other work packages, referring in particular to the comprehensive SLP design guidelines that have been developed (WP4). nonPeerReviewed
