Item type: Artículo , Access status: Abierto , Digital Literacy and Metaphorical Models(Editorial Universitat Politècnica de València, 2014-09-18) Girón García, Carolina; Navarro Ferrando, Ignasi[EN] It is an acknowledged fact that the appearance of new genres in cyberspace has shifted the main focus of instruction strategies nowadays. Learners of any field are challenged by the acquisition of a new type of literacy, digital literacy –how to read and write, or how to interact, in and through the Internet. In this line, websites often show expressions like "home", "visit", "down-load", "link", etc. which are used in a new sense that did not exist before the digital era. Such expressions constitute the manifestation of mental models that have been transferred from traditional conceptual domains onto the new knowledge domain of the Internet. These conceptual metaphors are some of the cognitive models that help in the conceptualization of new cybergenres. This paper points at describing how these cognitive models build our notion of diverse cybergenres in English – e.g. the weblog, the social network, the cybertask. Our aim here consists in detecting these metaphorical models as well as describing and classifying their conceptual mappings between domains. With that purpose, some digital materials are analyzed, so as to test the hypothesis that such mappings and models guide the user's representation of the genre, as a coherent structure.Item type: Artículo , Access status: Abierto , History and Nature of Science enriched Problem-Based Learning on the origins of biodiversity and of continents and oceans(Editorial Universitat Politècnica de València, 2014-09-18) Sousa, Cristina[EN] The episode of the History of Science (HOS) on the theory of continental drift proposed by Alfred Wegener has been considered an excellent example for teaching students aspects of Nature of Science (NOS) and the relation of Science with social and tecnological contexts. We implemented a NOS and HOS-enriched Problem-Based Learning environment at the middle (year 7 of the Portuguese National Curriculum) and secondary level (year 10) for teaching the origins of biodiversity and of continents and oceans (mobilism). The goal of providing detailed implementation practices is to adress the lack of how to in Problem-based learning (PBL) implementation in classrooms for 12 to 16 year old students and is the first practical example of implementation using this episode of HOS for teaching geological mobilism integrated with evolution. Therefore, in this study, we provide specific suggestions for supporting teachers’ classroom efforts in implementing PBL, such as scaffolding.The ill-problem presented to students, without a single correct answer, was based on the phylogeny of extant and extinct ratite birds, described by Charles Darwin and the present geographical distribution. The evaluation of the students was focused on the chain of reasoning employed, and we performed a comparisation analysis of the problem’s solution presented by the students of both classes regarding the explanation of the phylogeny of ratites based on geological mobilism. We observed an overall improvement (25-77%) of the percentages of students pre- and post-instruction adequate answers; therefore our PBL strategy was efficient.Item type: Artículo , Access status: Abierto , Mentoring in the acquisition of professional skills through practices in companies by degree students(Editorial Universitat Politècnica de València, 2014-09-18) Monllau Jaques, Teresa Maria; Rodríguez Ávila, Nuria; Miralles de Imperial Llobet, Joan; Universitat de Barcelona; Universitat Pompeu Fabra[EN] This work has had as objective to analyze the skills acquired through internships in business companies by gender that have made the students of the Faculty of Economics and Business at the University Pompeu Fabra. The internship is a basic item in order to obtain a hard connection between the University and social-economic world where University and Enterprises develop their activity. In this study we want to know about two aspects. The first one, we want to know the profit that is obtained from the Student as a consequence of internship and mentoring. Also, we want to study about the importance of mentoring as a principal element that establish the relationship between the Student and the Company. Moreover, it has sought to analyze if certain factors such as the size of the company where the practices has been performed, the study rank level that was achieved or the fact of being a man or a woman, were among the determining factors at the time of acquiring the skills. The results presented here indicate that the size of the company that have been making the practices and the gender of the student are related to the acquisition of certain skills. There was not a statistically significant relationship related to the rank level have by the students in the practice. In the future we are going to study if the labor market Integration is easier if the Student has performed work placement.Item type: Artículo , Access status: Abierto , New Trends outside the Translation Classroom(Editorial Universitat Politècnica de València, 2014-09-18) Martinez Martinez, Silvia; Álvarez de Morales Mercado, Cristina[EN] This paper is based on the study of different elements at the University of Granada’s Faculty of Translation and Interpreting and seeks to elaborate a prototype for a multilingual and accessible audio guide (audio description, SDHH and Spanish sign language interpretation). We defend a new methodology, one that focuses on teaching the translation process from previous museum-based learning experiences in the translation classroom using QR codes. Our main goal is to innovate translation-related teaching based on the new approaches acquired through learning workshop perspectives. In this sense, we will offer an ideal framework in developing the new concept of translation learning. This concept involves systemising a new means of learning and organising the realities of translation itself, encompassing objectives, competences, methodology and evaluation.Item type: Artículo , Access status: Abierto , The interdisciplinary approach in textbooks: A study on energy issues(Editorial Universitat Politècnica de València, 2014-09-18) Martín Gámez, Carolina; Prieto Ruz, Teresa; Muñoz Gallego, Antonio Roman[EN] In a globalized and constantly changing world, education must be continuously updated. This requirement plays a major role in scientific and technological education, since technology may under goes significant changes in short periods of time. In such context, our students need educational opportunities that allow them to link scientific and technological aspects to many other subjects and situations which are closer to their personal interests and responsible actions. How to help our young people to discuss issues that need the consideration and integration of a variety of disciplines? How to encourage them to participate in a responsible way? In this study we focused on teaching and learning the nature of energy, and other related concepts, in science from an interdisciplinary point of view. We analyzed contents of secondary education textbooks and curricular guidelines, taking into account their importance as classroom resources, and discussed the level to which controversial issues were displayed, considering a multidisciplinary approach. Results highlight a lack of consideration of environmental and social impacts derived from energy production and consumption, and also a lack of attention to interdisciplinary aspects. Attention given to renewable energies does not fit the present role of these kinds of energies in society, focusing more on non-renewable energies. Generally texts emphasize traditional energies without regard to the future possibilities.Item type: Artículo , Access status: Abierto , An electronic record system in nursing education: evaluation and utilization(Editorial Universitat Politècnica de València, 2014-09-18) González-Chordá, Víctor Manuel; Mena-Tudela, Desirée; Salas-Medina, Pablo; Cervera-Gasch, Agueda; Lapeña-Moñux, Yolanda; Folch-Ayora, Ana; Orts-Cortés, María Isabel; Maciá-Soler, María Loreto; Universitat Jaume I[EN] The main objective of the present work is to analyze the results of the utilization and evaluation of the LORETO Record System (LRS), providing improvement areas in the teaching-learning process and technology, in second year nursing students. A descriptive, prospective, cross sectional study using inferential statics has been carried out on all electronic records reported by 55 nursing students during clinical internships (April 1º-June 26º, 2013). Electronic record average rated 7.22 points (s=0.6; CV=0.083), with differences based on the clinical practice units (p<0,05). Three items assessed did not exceed the quality threshold set at 0.7 (p<0.05). Record Rate exceeds the quality threshold set at 80% for the overall sample, with differences based on the practice units. Only two clinical practice units rated above the minimum threshold (p <0.05). Record of care provision every 3 days did not reach the estimated quality threshold (p <0.05). There is a dichotomy between qualitative and quantitative results of LRS. Improvement areas in theoretical education have been identified. The LRS seems an appropriate learning and assessment tool, although the development of a new APP version and the application of principles of gamification should be explored.Item type: Artículo , Access status: Abierto , Exploring innovative and creative ways of teaching(Editorial Universitat Politècnica de València, 2014-09-18) Franco Vázquez, Carmen; Gillanders, Carol[EN] With the intention of providing a starting point to reflect on both aspects in which the subject Teaching Innovation and Introduction to Educational Research in Arts of the master’s degree in Teaching in Secondary School breaks up and merges, we created a situation, understood as a learning environment, that seeks to show us how we react before a situation different from the expected one. For this reason, we played with the idea of something in construction, something that is still wrapped up in white paper: tables badly placed, chairs on tables, papers covering chairs and tables, or parts of the classroom... And in this setting some videos were projected that talked about classrooms, of the present and the past, of diverse artistic experiences. Confusion, surprise, but slowly a discussion starts. And from the reflections raised, the exchange of opinions and relating the assignment to other subjects of the master’s degree, in particular with Learning and Teaching of Art, we began to go more deeply into the meaning of various concepts related to teaching and research by means of projects carried out in groups and from different approaches. The purpose was to offer a space to experience through action, to get to know our previous ideas and how to approach the different research paradigms.Item type: Artículo , Access status: Abierto , Learning leadership from teaching: emotional competences(Editorial Universitat Politècnica de València, 2014-09-18) Bernal, A.; Ibarrola-García, S.[EN] During the last two decades, in our societies we have sought quality education. One way to achieve this goal is to promote educational leadership. The field of educational leadership is complex: administrative, instructional, school supervision, teacher supervision. Our focus is on instructional leadership and teacher leadership. There’s an extensive literature on this topic and we have selected recent publications that present a discussion of theoretical and practical implications. Our theoretical study is from an educative perspective. We highlight a theme: the emotional competences of academic leaders and teachers and their influence on effective teaching. Researchers insist that teachers’ emotions cannot be regarded only in their psychological aspects. They show the interconnections between teacher’s beliefs, identity, goals and emotions and teaching. The relevance of this topic drives our research on how it’s introduced in programmes of teacher education. Teacher education should incorporate this vision. In particular, we analyse the most representative and current programmes in Spain. We compare these programmes with the current tendency of teacher education in an international context.Item type: Artículo , Access status: Abierto , Teaching Strategies to Apply in the Use of Technological Tools in Technical Education(Editorial Universitat Politècnica de València, 2014-09-18) Arranz García, Olga; Alonso Secades, Vidal[EN] The emergence of new technologies in education area is changing the way of organizing the educational processes. Teachers are not unrelated to these changes and must employ new strategies to adapt their teaching methods to the new circumstances. One of these adaptations is framed in the virtual learning, where the learning management systems have been revealed as a very effective means within the learning process. In this paper we try to provide teachers in engineering schools how to use in an appropriate way the different technological tools that are present in a virtual platform. Thus, in the experimental framework we show the results outcomes in the analysis of two data samples obtained before and after the implementation of the European Higher Education Area, that would be extrapolated for its innovative application to the learning techniques.Item type: Artículo , Access status: Abierto , The cooperative learning: Understanding and increasing the knowledge of the facilities design without a professor extra effort(Editorial Universitat Politècnica de València, 2014-09-18) Ferrera, C.; Fernández, J.; Marcos, A.C.; Universidad de Extremadura[EN] Lecturing has been prevailing in higher education. This teaching and learning model hinders the understanding of fundamental concepts in practical courses. The cooperative learning allows an improvement in the student’s achievements, attitudes and persistence. The main goal of this work is to implement the cooperative learning in the teaching of the design of industrial facilities. This methodology aims to solve part of the problems of recently graduate students when they undertake engineering projects lacking knowledge. Finally, the results of an end-of-course satisfaction survey, conducted to assess this experience, are also presented.
