Transversal Competences for Employment and Profile of Excellent University Students

2014

Abstract The relationship between the field of training -university- and the working environment is absolutely essential. The university must train its students to satisfy the needs of society, to build knowledge and to develop critical thinking but it cannot elude the commitment to prepare competent professionals. This paper shows the growing interest in researching on the labour insertion of graduates. The concept of competence is analysed and the differences between generic and specific competences are studied. The generic or transversal competences proposed by the Tuning project and other studies are delimited. Such competences, considered as key competences for employment, are contrast…

L’integrazione delle competenze tecnologiche, didattiche e disciplinari nella formazione iniziale dei docenti di sostegno

2021

Questo contributo focalizza l’attenzione sulle competenze dei docenti di sostegno in formazione iniziale cos come vengono descritte nel framework del Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPCK) (Mishra & Koehler, 2006), a partire dagli studi di Shulman (1986) sul PCK e intende offrire alcune riflessioni metodologiche sulla formazione dell’insegnante di sostegno considerando, tra altri fattori, l’eterogeneità dei titoli di studio che consentono l’accesso al percorso formativo. I risultati ottenuti con un campione di 1591 docenti iscritti al corso di specializzazione per il sostegno dell’Università degli Studi di Palermo e le riflessioni provenienti dal modello TPACK potrebbero c…

On-line quizzes to evaluate comprehension and integration skills

2016

[EN] This work demonstrates the use of a 2.0 tool, namely, Socrative, to evaluate one of the cross-curricular competences indicated by the Universitat Politècnica de València, specifically, comprehension and integration. It has been applied to the courses in different areas: sciences, engineering and languages. As part of its implementation, activities were proposed that could be done at the beginning, during or at the end of the class to, on the one hand, help students acquire the knowledge associated with the course(s), and on the other, gather evidence that demonstrates acquisition of said competence. The results show a high level of satisfaction by the students with the use of the Socra…

La integración de la Atención a la Dependencia en los Servicios Sociales Municipales del Ayuntamiento de Sagunto

2011

El cuarto Pilar del Bienestar Social es el sistema de Servicios Sociales, la atención a la dependencia debería ser considerada un subsistema del sistema de Servicios Sociales, el catalogo de prestaciones que recoge la Ley de Autonomía Personal y Atención a las Personas en Situación de Dependencia (Ley 39/2006) se corresponde con las prestaciones reconocidas en las leyes de servicios sociales de las diferentes Comunidades Autónomas, todas ellas aprobadas con anterioridad a la Ley 39/2006. La implantación por parte de la Generalitat Valenciana de la Ley de atención a la dependencia puede vulnerar el principio de Autonomía Local recogido en varios marcos normativos. La visión de atención integ…

Environmental values and customer-perceived value in industrial supplier relationships

2017

This study addresses a gap in the research on supply channel management by integrating environmental values and value creation in the context of buyer-supplier relationships. This study has two objectives: (i) to explore the environmental values structure of industrial customers, and (ii) to test the effect of environmental values on overall value perceptions. The effect of customer's environmental values on the supplier's environmental image and customer-perceived value is tested with structural equation modeling using the PLS method. The empirical analysis is based on a global sample of industrial companies that have a high impact on the environment (n = 121). Key findings of this study a…

UAV-Assisted Data Collection in Wireless Sensor Networks: A Comprehensive Survey

2021

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are usually deployed to different areas of interest to sense phenomena, process sensed data, and take actions accordingly. The networks are integrated with many advanced technologies to be able to fulfill their tasks that is becoming more and more complicated. These networks tend to connect to multimedia networks and to process huge data over long distances. Due to the limited resources of static sensor nodes, WSNs need to cooperate with mobile robots such as unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs), or unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in their developments. The mobile devices show their maneuverability, computational and energy-storage abilities to support WSNs in mul…
