Enseñar a aprender a pensar en los centros educativos, incluso en las actividades de evaluación.= Teaching to learn how to think at schools, even within assessment activities

El auténtico protagonismo de los centros educativos tiene que dirigirse a ayudar a pensar a sus alumnos y a enseñarlos a aprender, es decir, el docente tiene que enseñar estrategias de aprendizaje y debe promover el esfuerzo del estudiante para facilitar la construcción de esquemas y el aprendizaje permanente. El profesor debe utilizar cualquier situación de aprendizaje para enseñar dichas estrategias de aprendizaje, incluso en las situaciones de evaluación; por lo tanto, en este trabajo se sugiere que en las evaluaciones de los alumnos y alumnas se tenga en cuenta la metacognición como factor fundamental en el aprendizaje y la enseñanza

Programació del robot e-puck amb Microsoft Robotics Studio

Microsoft Robotics Studio (MRS) és un entorn per a crear aplicacions per a robots utilitzant una gran varietat de plataformes hardware. Conté un entorn de simulació en el que es pot modelar i simular el moviment del robot. Permet també programar el robot, i executar-lo en l’entorn simulat o bé en el real. MRS resol la comunicació entre els diferents processos asíncrons que solen estar presents en el software de control d’un robot: processos per atendre sensors, actuadors, sistemes de control, comunicacions amb l’exterior,... MRS es pot utilitzar per modelar nous robots utilitzant components que ja estiguin disponibles en les seves llibreries, o també permet crear component nous. Per tal de conèixer en detall aquesta eina, seria interessant utilitzar-la per programa els robots e-pucks, uns robots mòbils autònoms de petites dimensions que disposen de dos motors i un complet conjunt de sensors. El que es vol és simular-los, realitzar un programa de control, realitzar la interfície amb el robot i comprovar el funcionament amb el robot real

The UK Professional Standards Framework for teaching and supporting learning in higher education

The UK Professional Standards Framework (UK PSF) for teaching and supporting learning, launched in February 2006, is a flexible framework which uses a descriptor-based approach to professional standards. There are three standard descriptors each of which is applicable to a number of staff roles and to different career stages of those engaged in teaching and supporting learning. The standard descriptors are underpinned by areas of professional activity, core knowledge and professional values. The framework provides a reference point for institutions and individuals as well as supporting ongoing development within any one standard descriptor.

The UK Professional Standards Framework for teaching and supporting learning in higher education

This is a part of a collection of materials developed by the HEAcademy Subject Centre for Languages, linguistics and area studies. The materials provide reflective activities designed to engage teachers with some of the key issues in working with international students and practical ideas for ways in which these can be addressed. They will be of particular interest to new staff or anyone new to working with international students.

ECS Teaching Handbook

This handbook, nominally chapter 3 of the ECS staff handbook, describes ECS educational policy and procedures, as defined and agreed by the school via its various boards and committees. There are sections covering our educational aims and strategy, processes and structures, teaching and learning, pastoral and administrative arrangements, and a glossary. The material here supplements that in the University's quality handbook. (This is the working document which will become our 2009/10 handbook next academic year.)
