El objetivo de este texto es investigar la influencia del uso de herramientas tecnológicas en las aulas universitarias.

Empowering education professionals with twenty-first century skills through master's of education dissertation/thesis work
2021
This paper aims to explore the potential role of Master’s of Education dissertation/thesis work in developing twenty-first century skills. A total of 600 education professionals studying Master’s of Education programmes in five countries – Poland, Portugal, England, Latvia, and Romania – were surveyed. The findings have revealed that participants recognise the usefulness of twenty-first century skills for their (future) professional practice, and perceive dissertation/thesis work as a valuable foundation for developing these skills. This study offers practical implications for designers of Master’s of Education programmes and contributes to our understanding that this assignment is not only…
How do we assess in Clinical Legal Education? A 'reflection' about reflective learning
2016
I suggest this hypothesis and these premises from the perspective of my experience in Clinical Legal Education and the use of experiential learning methods in other 'traditional' courses. Firstly, institutional assessment must be distinguished from the assessment of learning. Traditionally, assessment is reduced to institutional assessment: that is, to give a mark depending on the achievement of knowledge instead of focusing in the student's learning. However, I propose (to remember) that: 1) (Formative) assessment is part of learning; 2) Reflective learning (and reflective skills) is/are a part of assessment. This implies a process of continuous evaluation instead of summative evaluation, …
Process-and context-sensitive research on academic knowledge practices
2007
The Contextual Activity Sampling System (CASS) methodology and CASS-Query tools have been developed for the investigation of learning and working practices. The CASS-methods and tools provide contextualized data that allow the analyzing and modeling of within-person changes across time. This paper describes a pilot study with 3G mobiles used by eight engineering students. Students answered questionnaires concerning their ongoing study projects, academic emotions, and collaboration, with a mobile phone five times a day for a period of two weeks (70 queries per person). Variation in their emotions were examined by time-series analysis. Students were also interviewed before and after the CASS-…

Proposals for a More Creative Education System
2019
The present paper supports the necessity of adapting any modern education system to the growing demand for creative specialists in all fields of activity. In this context, we appreciate that an education system that develops students’ creativity can be characterized as a creative system. In the framework of extensive research on creativity management we have developed over the last few years, one of the goals was to discover several ways to improve the education system. From the perspective of educational work in the academic environment, we believe that stimulating student group creativity is essential for their development as future specialists and for their successful integration in orga…
English Language Policy in Relation to Teachers and Teacher Educators in Latvia: Insights from Activity Systems Analysis
2020
The ambitious objectives of European language policy and the strive for competitiveness have led to an increasing emphasis on foreign language competence at the level of national education systems. Using Spolsky’s onion model of language policy (2004) and Engeström’s Expansive Learning theory (1987, 2008), the study attempts to determine the formative influence of the existing multilayered language policy on the professional development of Latvian educators with the aim to compare the situation for teachers and teacher educators in respect of their English language proficiency.Given the prioritisation of English and strategic differences in foreign language management in relation to teacher…
Wissen, Verstehen, Glauben? Eine Fallstudie zur patientenzentrierten Kommunikation und partizipativen Entscheidungsfindung
2019
Zusammenfassung Patientenzentrierte Kommunikation und selbstbestimmte Entscheidungen gelten heutzutage als wichtige Aspekte der Arzt-Patienten-Beziehung. Im klinischen Alltag ist die Umsetzung dieser Konzepte jedoch immer wieder erschwert. In diesem Beitrag wird anhand eines Fallbeispiels diskutiert, worin die Grenzen der partizipativen Entscheidungsfindung bestehen und wieso das Vertrauen in die Handlungslogik der Institution insbesondere dann relevant wird, wenn es nur geringe Spielräume für eigene Entscheidungen gibt.
