Design, Implementation and Students' Emotional Assessment of a Software for the Learning of Rational Numbers through Music Metaphors in Chilean Prima…
2019
Using sound and music as a metaphor to approach curricular mathematical contents in Primary Education seems an interesting field that deserves some research. Both music and sound can synergically act as scaffolding for learning, intervening as part of situated knowledge, and they could offer a new perspective for learning mathematics at schools, giving pupils opportunities to develop their own mental representations. Also, the incorporation of an affective/emotional analysis, as criteria for evaluation, seems pertinent and complementary to other criteria in the production of multimedia material with educational purposes both in formal and non-formal domains of education. These are the inten…
The Improvement of Moral Development Through an Increase in Reflection. A Training Programme
1998
Abstract In this study a training programme was implemented to increase reflectivity in 13‐and 14‐year‐old children in the 8th grade of a primary school in Spain. We hoped to confirm that an increase in reflectivity would promote moral development in these children. We did not use classical techniques for improving moral development (values clarification, moral dilemmas, etc.) but, rather, cognitive techniques to increase reflectivity‐‐ problem‐solving, self‐instruction, scanning strategies, and so on. We used Cairns and Cammock's Matching Familiar Figures Test (MFF20) (1978) and Rest's Defining Issues Test (DIT) (1986) as measuring instruments. As we had supposed prior to the intention, we…

THE ADVANTAGES OF FLIPPED LEARNING MODEL: AN OPPORTUNITY TO INTEGRATE TECHNOLOGY IN CHILDREN'S LITERATURE
2016
Studying children’s literature involves questioning how fantasy and representations of childhood relate to cultural contexts and a specific target audience. In an age of technology and online media, this program teaches students how to encourage young people to appreciate literature's heritage. This research examines how using the flipped classroom model provides opportunities to design and deliver courses using active learning and engagement strategies to facilitate students’ teamwork, problem solving and critical thinking skills in a collegial environment. The aims of research are: to familiarise with some of the themes and ideas explored in a selection of literature for children from the…
MEMORIZING SONG LYRICS IN PRIMARY EDUCATION DURING THE MUSIC LESSON
2020
Aim. The aim of the study is to identify what techniques students use to memorise song lyrics, how much time is needed to do that, and whether and in what way their parents help them learn the song. The theoretical part of the study analyses previous researches on memorisation in the context of general psychology, age-related psychology, and music psychology.
 Method. The empirical study involved 47 (N=47) second-grade students of the comprehensive school (25 girls and 22 boys). Three study questions are raised in this paper: what techniques do students use to learn how to memorise song lyrics? How much time does a student need to learn singing a song by heart? Do parents help students…
Parents' causal attributions concerning their children's academic achievement
2007
Katja Natale seurasi väitöstutkimuksessaan vanhempien lastensa koulumenestystä koskevien kausaaliattribuutioiden eli syyselitysten muotoutumista lasten siirtyessä esikoulusta kouluun. Hän tutki kuinka tärkeinä vanhemmat pitivät kykyä, yrityksen määrää, tehtävien vaikeustasoa ja lapsen saamaa ohjausta selittämässä lasten onnistumista ja epäonnistumista koulussa. - Koulunsa aloittavien lasten vanhempia voisi neuvoa viestimään lapsilleen, että heillä on kykyjä onnistua haastavissakin koulutehtävissä. Tällainen viesti vaikuttaa positiivisesti lasten koulutaitojen kehitykseen ja minäkuvan muuttumiseen realistisemmaksi, Natale suosittaa.Onnistuminen kyvykkyyttä, epäonnistuminen yrityksen puutetta…
Education in Ethiopia: Strengthening the Foundation for Sustainable Progress
2005
International audience; With the end of civil war in 1991, Ethiopia's government launched a New Education and Training Policy in 1994 which, by the early 2000s, had already produced remarkable results. The gross enrollment ratio rose from 20 to 62 percent in primary education between 1993-94 and 2001-02; and in secondary and higher education it climbed, respectively, from 8 to 12 percent and from 0.5 to 1.7 percent. Yet the government can hardly afford to rest on its laurels. Primary education is still not universal, and already there are concerns about plummeting educational quality and the growing pressures to expand post-primary education. Addressing these challenges will require more re…

Il recupero scolastico dei bambini stranieri. Una ricerca-intervento con il coinvolgimento degli studenti del Corso di Laurea in Scienze della Formaz…
2016
Accade spesso che nonostante l'impegno quotidiano degli inse- gnanti, gli alunni delle scuole delle zone più deprivate delle cit- tà vivano con profondo malessere i tradizionali ritmi scolasti- ci, che dimostrino un diffuso disimpegno per le attività di stu- dio e che spesso abbandonino il percorso scolastico. Pur essendo in possesso di sufficienti potenzialità cognitive, gli alunni culturalmente e socialmente svantaggiati non riescono ad adat- tarsi ai normali schemi delle proposte formative-curricolari, spesso entrano in conflitto con l'istituzione scolastica e con gli insegnanti e di conseguenza abbandonano il percorso formativo (Coggi, 2009). Gli alunni stranieri richiedono un'atten…
Reversión de los estereotipos de género en torno a la ciencia. Innovación en la enseñanza frente a los estereotipos de género sobre la ciencia
2020
En este artículo se muestra el trabajo realizado en un centro escolar de Educación Primaria en la ciudad de Valencia cuyo objetivo de investigación es comprobar cómo, mediante una propuesta didáctica centrada en el alumnado de esta etapa educativa, se pueden cambiar los estereotipos de género que desde la sociedad se les transmiten, fenómeno que está cobrando relevancia en distintos ámbitos sociales y educativos, activando numerosos proyectos con finalidades semejantes a este. Así pues, los resultados más destacables se refieren a los aspectos organizativos del centro educativo y a los cambios impulsados por las actividades realizadas con motivo de El día Internacional de la mujer y la niña…
