The Cognitive Demand of a Gifted Student’s Answers to Geometric Pattern Problems
2018
Mathematically gifted students require specific teaching methodologies to foster their interest in mathematics and their engagement in solving problems. Geometric pattern problems are an interesting context in which to introduce algebra to those students. We present the case of a nine-year-old student engaged in a teaching unit based on geometric pattern problems that was aimed at helping him start learning algebra, equations, and algebra word problems. To analyze and assess the cognitive effort the student made to solve the problems, we used a particularization to this context of the cognitive demand model. We analyzed answers typical of the different kinds of problems posed throughout the…
REDU : revista de docencia universitaria
2012
[ES] José Gimeno Sacristán, pedagogo erudito, pensador crítico, es un adelantado a su tiempo, prueba de ello es que ha participado en los procesos de resignificación de la realidad educativa en el Estado español. Recientemente investido como Doctor Honoris Causa en las Universidades de San Luis (Argentina) y Málaga (España), ha sido profesor en la Universidad Complutense de Madrid, en la de Salamanca y, desde 1981, en la de Valencia. Esta entrevista refleja su mirada crítica y reconstruye su biografía profesional. Las dimensiones tratadas nos permiten conocer sus inicios como docente, sus reflexiones sobre los referentes y principios que han participado en la definición de su pensamiento, s…
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.

2016
In recent years, the topic of Corporate Social Responsibility is widely discussed in various contexts: in businesses, government, not for profit organizations, university studies, with customers and users of various types of business, etc.
Grammatica, didattica linguistica, tecniche di scoperta
2021
The study of grammar is not a source of enthusiasm for those who learn a language and the teaching of grammar often frustrates those who teach it. As a consequence, in learning and teaching motivations and results are negatively affected. A lively debate exists on the strategies to be employed in the teaching of grammar and in the metalanguage which teachers use in classrooms. Without the pretense of solving the knots of such debate, this book concretely indicates how an experimental method, made up of observations and reasoning, can be didactically stimulating and profitable.
Supporting struggling readers with digital game-based learning
2019
This study investigates the effectiveness of a digital game—GraphoLearn (GL)—in supporting second-grade students who have persistent difficulties with acquiring accurate and fluent reading skills. The participants (N = 37) were randomly assigned either to a 6-week intervention including sessions with GL, in addition to school-provided support, or a control group receiving only school-provided support. The intervention took place at the students’ homes and schools under the supervision of their parents and teachers. The results showed that the children who received the GL intervention developed significantly faster in word reading than the control group. Moreover, their reading development w…
Inclusive university teachers: What characterizes them and how do they think about disability
2021
espanolEl incremento de estudiantes con discapacidad en las universidades espanolas conlleva la necesidad de desarrollar practicas docentes inclusivas que garanticen la participacion y el aprendizaje de todo el alumnado. Con este trabajo se pretende: (1) conocer las concepciones que el profesorado universitario que ejerce practicas docentes inclusivas tiene sobre la discapacidad; (2) analizar las razones que les motivan para tener en cuenta las necesidades de los estudiantes con discapacidad, y (3) describir las caracteristicas que les definen. En el estudio participaron 42 docentes que fueron seleccionados como inclusivos por estudiantes con discapacidad de seis universidades publicas de d…
Mathematics education and learning disabilities in Spain.
2004
In the first part of this article, we describe the basic objectives of the math curriculum in Spain as well as the basic contents, teacher resources, and obstacles perceived in mathematics instruction. Second, we briefly describe the concept of learning disabilities (LD) as they are currently defined in Spain. As stated in the recent educational reform, a student with LD is any student with special educational needs. The emphasis is placed on the educational resources that these students need in order to achieve the curricular objectives that correspond to their age group or grade. Third, we comment specifically on the educational services model and the evaluation and instructional procedu…
Impact of Prosthesis-Patient Mismatch after Mitral Valve Replacement
2016
Background and aim of the study: The study aim was to determine the impact of prosthesis-patient mismatch (PPM) on early and late clinical outcomes, left atrial and ventricular remodeling, late tricuspid valve regurgitation and pulmonary hypertension (PH) in patients after mitral valve replacement (MVR). Methods: A total of 46 patients (mean age 66 ± 9.3 years) with mitral valve diseases and undergoing isolated MVR was enrolled in the study. The mitral valve effective orifice area (EOA) was determined using the continuity equation and indexed for the patient’s body surface area (EOAi). PPM was defined as EOAi ≤1.2 cm2/m2. PH was defined as a systolic pulmonary artery pressure (sPAP) >40 mmH…
High Degree of Realism in Teaching Percutaneous Coronary Interventions by Combining a Virtual Reality Trainer With a Full Scale Patient Simulator
2008
The virtual reality coronary angiography simulator "CATHI" (Catheter Instruction System, Mannheim, Germany) simulates coronary arteries with implemented vessel lesions in virtual patients. Like similar systems the software model runs on common PC systems, which are linked to the mechanical device for manual training. We combined the advantages of this skill trainer with the near to reality assembly of a cardiac catheterization laboratory (Cath-lab) by connecting it to a full scale simulator (HPS, METI, Sarasota, FL). We present two methods of synchronizing the heartbeat between both simulation devices. Method A-the hardware solution-uses the electrocardiogram-synchronization signal of the H…
