Percepción de los estudiantes universitarios ante una actividad audiovisual con dispositives móviles: un estudio de caso.
2020
El presente estudio radica en el interés que aportan las manifestaciones de los estudiantes universitarios de Magisterio, futuros maestros, desde una vertiente cualitativa y, en menor medida, cuantitativa, sobre el uso de los dispositivos portables, en concreto los teléfonos móviles con apoyo de la red social Facebook, en el proceso de enseñanza y aprendizaje. Se trata de una experiencia educativa centrada en la creación de audiovisuales mediante dispositivos móviles. Los resultados avalan, por un lado, la importancia que los discentes atribuyen al recurso y la motivación que les genera el uso de estas innovadoras metodologías con TIC. Otorgan valor a la necesidad de actualizarse tecnológic…
Gifting, service, and performance: three eras in minority-language media policy and practice
2011
Adapting Tom Ricento’s (2006) three-era framework in language policy to the case of the Sami in Finland and Irish in the Republic of Ireland, we identify three key eras in the development of minority-language media: the gifting era, the service era, and the performance era. Each era has its own particular logic and normativities in relation to the value and functions allocated to minoritylanguage media, the key actors involved in these media, and concepts of languages and speakers. Although we observe a chronology in the evolution of these eras, previous eras do not simply disappear with this evolution. We argue instead that they are embedded in any single moment of media engagement in rela…
A Pedagogical Approach to Detective Fiction
2011
One of the main concerns when teaching a foreign language is how to encourage students to read and become interested in its literature. This article presents detective fiction as a pedagogical tool that provides the key elements to make it appealing for young readers. In this way, the mystery, the action and the suspense in the story; the figure of the detective; or the fact that the end of the story is always morally acceptable turn this literary genre in a magnificent reading to practise the target language and explore the social and cultural issues portrayed. The aim of my work is to present a series of activities related with the detective fiction of international writers such as Sir Ar…
The value of volunteering in special events: A longitudinal study
2013
Abstract Volunteering has important insights for tourism, especially in the context of special events. In this paper, volunteering is studied in a religious event from a consumer value-based approach. A longitudinal study is conducted on 711 volunteers, three months before and one month after the event. The value-based approach is reliable and valid over time. The results of the value dimensions (spirituality as altruism, social value, play, efficiency, and effort spent) suggest volunteering is a highly emotional experience, although functional aspects showed higher expectations than perceptions. Value conceptualisation as a trade-off is consistent with the approach to volunteering as a “gi…
Nursing students' perceptions of a video-based serious game's educational value: A pilot study.

Abstract Background Despite an increasing number of serious games (SGs) in nursing education, few evaluation studies specifically address their educational value in terms of face, content, and construct validity. Objectives To assess nursing students' perceptions of a video-based SG in terms of face, content, and construct validity. In addition, the study assessed perceptions of usability, individual factors, and preferences regarding future use. Design A pilot study was conducted. Setting and Participants An SG prototype was implemented as part of two simulation courses in nursing education: one for home health care and one for hospital medical-surgical wards. The SG aimed to teach clinica…
Impact of parenting styles on adolescents' self-esteem and internalization of values in Spain
2007
The relationship of parenting styles with adolescents' outcomes was analyzed within a sample of Spanish adolescents. A sample of 1456 teenagers from 13 to 16 years of age, of whom 54.3% were females, reported on their parents' child-rearing practices. The teenagers' parents were classified into one of four groups (authoritative, authoritarian, indulgent, or neglectful). The adolescents were then contrasted on two different outcomes: (1) priority given to Schwartz's self-transcendence (universalism and benevolence) and conservation (security, conformity, and tradition) values and (2) level of self-esteem (appraised in five domains: academic, social, emotional, family and physical). The resul…
Parents' experiences of neonatal transfer. A meta-study of qualitative research 2000-2017.
2018
Transfers of critically ill neonates are frequent phenomena. Even though parents’ participation is regarded as crucial in neonatal care, a transfer often means that parents and neonates are separated. A systematic review of the parents’ experiences of neonatal transfer is lacking. This paper describes a meta-study addressing qualitative research about parents’ experiences of neonatal transfer. Through deconstruction and reflections of theories, methods and empirical data, the aim was to achieve a deeper understanding of theoretical, empirical, contextual, historical and methodological issues of qualitative studies concerning parents’ experiences of neonatal transfer over the course of this …

The Economic Value of Creativity: How Much, for Whom, and What for?
2017
The following chapter deals with the value od creativity in media management. The first part is a literature-based reflection on different perspectives on the value of creativity. While creativity generally is considered a core value of media products, I will argue that not all aspects of creativity are equally economically valuable and, thus, it is not in the best interest of media managers to maximize creative value. I will then change perspectives and address the question of the value of creativity for the individual media worker. The second part of this chapter combines the perspectives of the predominantly economically oriented media managers with that of the predominantly culturally o…
