The purpose of this article is to treat a currently much debated issue, the effects of age on second language learning. To do so, we contrast data collected by our research team from over one thousand seven hundred young and adult learners with four popular beliefs or generalizations, which, while deeply rooted in this society, are not always corroborated by our data.Two of these generalizations about Second Language Acquisition (languages spoken in the social context) seem to be widely accepted: a) older children, adolescents and adults are quicker and more efficient at the first stages of learning than are younger learners; b) in a natural context children with an early start are more liable to attain higher levels of proficiency. However, in the context of Foreign Language Acquisition, the context in which we collect the data, this second generalization is difficult to verify due to the low number of instructional hours (a maximum of some 800 hours) and the lower levels of language exposure time provided. The design of our research project has allowed us to study differences observed with respect to the age of onset (ranging from 2 to 18+), but in this article we focus on students who began English instruction at the age of 8 (LOGSE Educational System) and those who began at the age of 11 (EGB). We have collected data from both groups after a period of 200 (Time 1) and 416 instructional hours (Time 2), and we are currently collecting data after a period of 726 instructional hours (Time 3). We have designed and administered a variety of tests: tests on English production and reception, both oral and written, and within both academic and communicative oriented approaches, on the learners' L1 (Spanish and Catalan), as well as a questionnaire eliciting personal and sociolinguistic information. The questions we address and the relevant empirical evidence are as follows: 1. "For young children, learning languages is a game. They enjoy it more than adults."Our data demonstrate that the situation is not quite so. Firstly, both at the levels of Primary and Secondary education (ranging from 70.5% in 11-year-olds to 89% in 14-year-olds) students have a positive attitude towards learning English. Secondly, there is a difference between the two groups with respect to the factors they cite as responsible for their motivation to learn English: the younger students cite intrinsic factors, such as the games they play, the methodology used and the teacher, whereas the older students cite extrinsic factors, such as the role of their knowledge of English in the achievement of their future professional goals. 2 ."Young children have more resources to learn languages." Here our data suggest just the opposite. The ability to employ learning strategies (actions or steps used) increases with age. Older learners' strategies are more varied and cognitively more complex. In contrast, younger learners depend more on their interlocutor and external resources and therefore have a lower level of autonomy in their learning. 3. "Young children don't talk much but understand a lot"This third generalization does seem to be confirmed, at least to a certain extent, by our data in relation to the analysis of differences due to the age factor and productive use of the target language. As seen above, the comparably slower progress of the younger learners is confirmed. Our analysis of interpersonal receptive abilities demonstrates as well the advantage of the older learners. Nevertheless, with respect to passive receptive activities (for example, simple recognition of words or sentences) no great differences are observed. Statistical analyses suggest that in this test, in contrast to the others analyzed, the dominance of the subjects' L1s (reflecting a cognitive capacity that grows with age) has no significant influence on the learning process. 4. "The sooner they begin, the better their results will be in written language"This is not either completely confirmed in our research. First of all, we perceive that certain compensatory strategies disappear only with age, but not with the number of instructional hours. Secondly, given an identical number of instructional hours, the older subjects obtain better results. With respect to our analysis of data from subjects of the same age (12 years old) but with a different number of instructional hours (200 and 416 respectively, as they began at the ages of 11 and 8), we observe that those who began earlier excel only in the area of lexical fluency. In conclusion, the superior rate of older learners appears to be due to their higher level of cognitive development, a factor which allows them to benefit more from formal or explicit instruction in the school context. Younger learners, however, do not benefit from the quantity and quality of linguistic exposure typical of a natural acquisition context in which they would be allowed to make use of implicit learning abilities. It seems clear, then, that the initiative in this country to begin foreign language instruction earlier will have positive effects only if it occurs in combination with either higher levels of exposure time to the foreign language, or, alternatively, with its use as the language of instruction in other areas of the curriculum.

L'article presenta el plantejament i desenvolupament d'una recerca acció per al desenvolupament de la competència transversal «capacitat crítica i autocrítica» de la Universitat de Barcelona (UB). El projecte s'ha desenvolupat dins de diverses assignatures d'alguns ensenyaments de la UB (Ciència i Tecnologia dels Aliments, Infermeria, Odontologia, Pedagogia i Química) i l'hem iniciat sis professors i professores novells amb l'objectiu de dissenyar i desenvolupar activitats i estratègies de treball per promoure el pensament crític i autocrític dels estudiants universitaris. Aquest projecte s'ha portat a terme mitjançant un procés de recerca acció que es va iniciar en les primeres etapes amb una reflexió sobre la nostra pròpia pràctica docent. A partir d'aquesta reflexió es van dissenyar una sèrie d'activitats per promoure aquesta competència transversal. En aquest treball es descriuen el desenvolupament d'aquest projecte i els resultats obtinguts en aplicar algunes de les activitats a diverses assignatures dels ensenyaments mencionats. Les activitats han permès que l'alumnat pugui desenvolupar el pensament crític i autocrític en treballar sobre diversos aspectes de les assignatures (competències específiques, activitats, proves d'avaluació, etc.), i que alhora pugui ser crític amb el seu procés d'aprenentatge. Això també ha permès desenvolupar un dels reptes de l'espai europeu d'educació superior (EEES), en què es pretén donar a l'estudiant un rol més important en el procés d'aprenentatge.

En les últimes dècades, en el camp de l'avaluació en general i, en particular, en el de l'avaluació dels aprenentatges, s'hi reflecteixen importants transformacions. Moltes raons justifiquen aquests canvis projectats en l'àmbit universitari. Podem indicar-ne com a rellevants els següents: a) La incorporació ineludible de nous objectius d'aprenentatge que la societat de la informació requereix dels professionals universitaris: capacitat de transferència, de treballar en grup i en xarxa; habilitats per seleccionar informació i per autoformar-se; saber desenvolupar comportaments d'autonomia, etc. Tots aquests objectius d'aprenentatge són competències que van més enllà del que ofereixen els tradicionals procediments d'avaluació. b) El desenvolupament de noves estratègies d'avaluació (mapes conceptuals, portafolis, etc. ) que posen en joc habilitats complexes i processos metacognitius, més d'acord amb les noves competències professionals i personals. A l'article s'analitzen diferents plantejaments d'avaluació de l'alumnat en l'àmbit universitari, distingint diferents modalitats i presentant tècniques, tant de tipus tradicionals com noves.

Aquest article té l'objectiu d'exposar les bases pedagògiques que fonamenten l'educació per a la ciutadania. Es parteix d'un model ampli de ciutadania proposat des del Grup de Recerca en Educació Intercultural (GREDI) que inclou el sentiment de pertinença a una comunitat, les competències ciutadanes i la participació activa. Partint d'aquests elements es plantegen propostes educatives (programes d'activitats i l'estratègia pedagògica d'aprenentatge-servei). L'article acaba amb una reflexió entorn de la formació per a una ciutadania paritària a les escoles, el nucli central formatiu de la qual al·ludeix a l'element de la participació de les dones en igualtat de condicions.

Las investigaciones recientes sobre docencia universitaria en Estadística se han centrado en identificar las principales variables que afectan al rendimiento académico. El objetivo de este estudio es analizar las propiedades psicométricas de cuatro cuestionarios (SAS, SATS, MSES-R, PMP) presentados como una batería de prerrequisitos para el aprendizaje de la Estadística, y por tanto potenciales predictores del rendimiento. Método: La batería se administró a una muestra de 96 estudiantes del Grado de Psicología de la Universidad de Barcelona, durante el curso académico 2010-2011 en la asignatura de Tècniques de Recerca. Resultados: Todas las escalas mostraron altos valores en los coeficientes de consistencia interna. En relación con análisis de la validez, se encontraron correlaciones significativas en sentido negativo entre los factores teóricos del SAS y del SATS. Las puntuaciones de autoeficacia ante problemas matemáticos estaban fuertemente relacionadas con el rendimiento en Matemáticas. Los análisis factoriales mostraron una solución de cinco factores para el SAS y una solución unifactorial para el MSES-R.

En este artículo se describe la investigación realizada por el grupo DHIGECS de la Universidad de Barcelona durante los años 2002, 2003 y 2004 . Esta línea de investigación se ha propuesto y se propone estudiar las relaciones entre la frecuencia de las pruebas de evaluación objetiva, consideradas fundamentalmente como actividades de aprendizaje, y los resultados obtenidos en la materia de Historia en el Bachillerato. Han participado en este trabajo 19 profesores y se ha trabajado con una muestra de 800 alumnos. Este artículo sigue en la línea iniciada en 1997 centrada en el aprendizaje de la historia en primer curso de ESO. Se presenta la problemática objeto de estudio, la metodología utilizada, el proceso de investigación seguido y se exponen algunos de los resultados obtenidos.

En el presente artículo se informa acerca de una investigación sobre la evaluación de la disciplina de Historia en el bachillerato desde una óptica selectiva realizado en Catalunya entre enero de 1999 y mayo de 2000. Fue encargado por el Consell Interuniversitari de Catalunya preocupado, entre otros asuntos, por establecer una medida justa en la transición de los estudios secundarios a los universitarios. Sus autores pretendieron verificar la hipótesis según la cual las pruebas de corrección objetiva, por lo que se refiere a la media, medían igual que la prueba de ensayo abierto. Siendo así que, por definición, en este tipo de pruebas la subjetividad del corrector no es en absoluto significativa, se propusieron éstas como más equitativas e idóneas para las evaluaciones discriminativas de tipo selectivo propias de las pruebas de acceso a la universidad. Otros objetivos de la investigación consistían en analizar la fiabilidad interna de dichas pruebas así como la problemática de su aplicación y, finalmente, sistematizar un proceso de trabajo en equipo para la elaboración de preguntas definiendo para ello un modelo de organización. En el artículo se presenta, pues, el marco teórico aplicado a la disciplina de Historia, el modelo y fundamento del cuadro de especificaciones, el proceso del diseño de la prueba ¿que no tenía en esta disciplina precedente alguno que no fuera de carácter memorístico o factual¿ su aplicación a la muestra de alumnado y, en último lugar, el análisis e interpretación de sus resultados. En las conclusiones se muestra la verificación de la hipótesis y se realizan diversas consideraciones sobre la virtualidad didáctica de este tipo de evaluación en el aprendizaje de la Historia.

[spa] En este libro presentamos los trabajos que compartieron en las II Jornadas de Historias de Vida en Educación: Sujeto, Diálogo y Experiencia, (Málaga 9 y 10 de junio, 2011). La diversidad caracteriza el conjunto de los textos, y a veces la contraposición de posiciones ideológicas y conceptuales, lo cual sirve para enriquecer el debate y la reflexión.Los textos se distribuyen en cuatro capítulos: El primero, sobre el sujeto, o relaciones entre sujetos en la investigación. El segundo entorno a cómo las narrativas y las historias de vida pueden convertirse en herramientas para el cambio. El tercero se centra en la entrevista como el espacio de encuentro y de diálogo que tiene lugar en el proceso de investigación. El cuarto y más complejo reúne los textos que hablan de la experiencia como uno de los focos necesarios en los estudios con historias de vida.

Este artículo sintetiza los resultados y las principales conclusiones de una investigación realizada en la Universidad de Barcelona sobre el tema del portafolio docente, un fenómeno bastante reciente en el campo de la formación del profesorado en general, y en la del docente universitario en particular. La introducción de esta herramienta en la Enseñanza universitaria se debe a la Asociación Canadiense de Profesores de Universidad (en la década de los ochenta), que la empleó para la habilitación y la evaluación de docentes. Sin embargo, en este trabajo se parte de la idea de que los portafolios docentes tienen también una vertiente formativa y resultan útiles en la mejora y el desarrollo profesional del profesorado universitario novel. Explorar este aspecto es el objetivo de nuestro estudio. Se ha elegido, como campo de aplicación, el profesorado novel de la Universidad de Barcelona, que ha elaborado un portafolio docente en los cursos de Iniciación en la Docencia Universitaria. El enfoque usado ha sido cualitativo y como estrategia metodológica hemos optado por el estudio de casos múltiple, dado que la muestra está constituida por 10 profesores universitarios noveles de diferentes áreas de conocimiento. Para recoger y registrar la información, los instrumentos empleados fueron la entrevista en profundidad y el análisis de documentos. Los resultados apuntan a que el verdadero valor del portafolio docente reside en su potencial formativo y para el desarrollo profesional del profesorado universitario novel. También revelan que el portafolio es una herramienta valiosa para un nuevo profesionalismo docente, que se orienta a la reflexión sobre la propia práctica docente y al desarrollo de una enseñanza más acorde con las exigencias de la nueva sociedad del conocimiento.
