Ya no solo es el mundo iberoamericano, sino que el Geoforo ha tenido presencia en otras escalas planetarias. Igualmente, el campo de la enseñanza de la geografía se ha ampliado a los ámbitos del conocimiento de la didáctica de las ciencias sociales. El éxito o fracaso del Geoforo reside en la fortaleza de las relaciones sociales que se han establecido entre el profesorado y alumn…

Adopting a subject-centred sociocultural approach, we elaborate the main challenges, insights, and lessons learned, as perceived by the four leaders of the department, in efforts to move towards more innovative and collaborative practices. We argue that teacher education leaders currently r…
Interaction affordances in traditional instruments and tablet computers: A study of children’s musical group creativity

Both instrumentations were assigned to five groups of four 10–12-year-olds for creating sound landscapes for a “space” movie. The traditional instrument groups’ processes were characterized by peer teaching as well …
