- PublicationThe level of psychological and docial adjustment among a sample of persons with learning disabilities in Asir Region in light of some variables(Universitat Politècnica de València, 2020-10-06) khasawneh, Mohamad[EN] This study aimed at investigating the level of psychological and social adjustment in relation to the grade and type of learning disability among persons with learning disabilities in the Asir region. The study was applied to a sample of (350) students studying in schools in the Department of Education in Asir. The sample responded to the psychological and social adjustment scale developed as a tool of the study. The results showed that the level of psychological and social adjustment came with a medium degree, as well as the absence of statistically significant differences in the level of psychological and social adjustment students in the basic stage. In light of the results, the researcher recommended preparing awareness programs for teachers of learning disabilities to identify the various indicators that accompany the phenomenon of psychological and social adjustment for persons with learning disabilities. The study also recommends conducting more studies on psychological and social adjustment and its relationship to other variables, such as emotional intelligence.
- PublicationAdolescents and values portrayed in music nowadays(Universitat Politècnica de València, 2020-10-06) Sánchez González, María Gemma[EN] Nowadays, the close relationship between adolescents and music is a fact reinforced by new technology. Music, in general, reflects values and attitudes in society and serves different purposes in life, however the crisis of values is a constant threat that may be eased by using music as a tool to engage with young people and reinforced ethical values. This work aimed at assessing perceptions of explicit content in pop music by 16-year-old adolescents by means of a questionnaire with a series of short-open questions. The results confirmed a relaxed attitude towards current social values but yet a robust self-claimed personality in young people.
- PublicationUse of technical computing systems in the context of engineering problems(Universitat Politècnica de València, 2020-10-06) Llopis Albert, Carlos; Rubio Montoya, Francisco José; Valle-Falcones, L.M.; Grima-Olmedo, C.; Escuela Técnica Superior de Ingeniería Aeroespacial y Diseño Industrial; Departamento de Ingeniería Mecánica y de Materiales; Instituto Universitario de Investigación Concertado de Ingeniería Mecánica y Biomecánica[EN] This paper presents a teaching innovation project based on applying technical computing systems as a resource to improve learning in the classroom and as a way of evaluating transversal competences (TC). By these means, students analyze complex kinematic and dynamic mechanical systems in the context of the subject Dynamics of Mechanical Systems of the Master’s Degree in Mechatronics Engineering at Universitat Politècnica de València (Spain). We have observed that the use of such tools improves the students learning on the contents of the subject, allows to acquire the transversal competence related to the analysis and problem solving, and enhances the ability to understand concepts intuitively. Furthermore, results clearly show a positive influence on the use of such tools for improving the professional and ethical commitment to the issues raised.
- PublicationDevelopment of lower-limb rehabilitation exercises using 3-PRS Parallel Robot and Dynamic Movement Primitives(Universitat Politècnica de València, 2020-10-06) Escarabajal Sánchez, Rafael José; Abu Dakka, Fares Jawad Mohd; Pulloquinga Zapata, José; Mata Amela, Vicente; Vallés Miquel, Marina; Valera Fernández, Ángel; Departamento de Ingeniería de Sistemas y Automática; Escuela Técnica Superior de Ingeniería Aeroespacial y Diseño Industrial; Departamento de Ingeniería Mecánica y de Materiales; Instituto Universitario de Automática e Informática Industrial; Instituto Universitario de Investigación Concertado de Ingeniería Mecánica y Biomecánica; Escuela Técnica Superior de Ingeniería Industrial; Escuela Técnica Superior de Ingeniería Informática; European Regional Development Fund; Agencia Estatal de Investigación[EN] The design of rehabilitation exercises applied to sprained ankles requires extreme caution, regarding the trajectories and the speed of the movements that will affect the patient. This paper presents a technique that allows a 3-PRS parallel robot to control such exercises, consisting of dorsi/plantar flexion and inversion/eversion ankle movements. The work includes a position control scheme for the parallel robot in order to follow a reference trajectory for each limb with the possibility of stopping the exercise in mid-execution without control loss. This stop may be motivated by the forces that the robot applies to the patient, acting like an alarm mechanism. The procedure introduced here is based on Dynamic Movement Primitives (DMPs).
- PublicationThe effectiveness of using augmented reality in teaching geography curriculum on the achievement and attitudes of Omani 10th Grade Students(Universitat Politècnica de València, 2020-10-06) Al Shuaili, Khalfan; Al Musawi, Ali Sharaf; Hussain, Raja Muznah[EN] This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of using a mobile Augmented Reality application in the geography unit for 10th-grade students on their achievements and attitude. The unit is part of the Omani’s social studies curriculum and entitled, “Environmental Problems and Hazards”. To achieve this purpose, a quasi-experimental study design was conducted. The instruments designed, validated and used to collect data were pre-post achievement tests and attitudinal scale. The participants were 64 male students, divided into two experimental and control groups. The field application period took four weeks in which the control group studied the unit using the normal teaching method, while the mobile Augmented Reality application, HP Reveal, with a website that supports its features, was integrated to teach experimental group. Findings show that there was a statistically significant difference between the pre- and post-field applications in terms of students’ achievement and attitudes. Nevertheless, there was no impact observed when the control and experimental groups’ achievement was compared. The researcher suggested conducting further investigations to examine the value of integrating Augmented Reality in the educational system considering various factors and variables.
