Estudio comparativo entre las metodologías de enseñanza–aprendizaje tradicional y el modelo constructivista fundamentado en el aprendizaje basado en problemas en las clases de educación física

El presente trabajo tiene por objetivo realizar un estudio comparativo entre las metodologías de enseñanza-aprendizaje tradicional y el modelo constructivista fundamentado en el Aprendizaje Basado en Problemas (ABP) en las clases de Educación Física, con los alumnos de los décimos años de Educación General Básica de la Escuela José Rafael Arízaga de la ciudad de Cuenca. El estudio se realizó con la finalidad de constatar la problemática, inicialmente se aplicaron fichas de observación a los docentes de Educación Física de la institución. Posteriormente, para el análisis comparativo se escogieron dos grupos. El décimo año de EGB paralelo A (grupo 1 denominado grupo control) y el décimo B (grupo 2 experimental). El primer grupo trabajó con el docente de la institución desarrollando los temas de los bloques curriculares: Movimientos Naturales, Juegos y Movimiento Formativo, Artístico y Expresivo, el segundo desarrolló los mismos temas pero el proceso de enseñanza aprendizaje se fundamentó en el ABP. Los resultados de la aplicación de las dos metodologías se evidenciaron en las evaluaciones a los estudiantes (Destrezas con criterio de desempeño). El análisis de los resultados obtenidos durante todo el proceso de evaluación, permitió comparar las metodologías evidenciando de ésta manera las ventajas y desventajas de su aplicación en las clases de Educación Física.

Disabling and Enabling Technologies for Learning in Higher Education for All : Issues and Challenges for Whom?

Integration, inclusion, and equity constitute fundamental dimensions of democracy in post-World War II societies and their institutions. The study presented here reports upon the ways in which individuals and institutions both use and account for the roles that technologies, including ICT, play in disabling and enabling access for learning in higher education for all. Technological innovations during the 20th and 21st centuries, including ICT, have been heralded as holding significant promise for revolutionizing issues of access in societal institutions like schools, healthcare services, etc. (at least in the global North). Taking a socially oriented perspective, the study presented in this paper focuses on an ethnographically framed analysis of two datasets that critically explores the role that technologies, including ICT, play in higher education for individuals who are “differently abled” and who constitute a variation on a continuum of capabilities. Functionality as a dimension of everyday life in higher education in the 21st century is explored through the analysis of (i) case studies of two “differently abled” students in Sweden and (ii) current support services at universities in Sweden. The findings make visible the work that institutions and their members do through analyses of the organization of time and space and the use of technologies in institutional settings against the backdrop of individuals’ accountings and life trajectories. This study also highlights the relevance of multi-scale data analyses for revisiting the ways in which identity positions become framed or understood within higher education.

Semantic relations: Modelling issues, proposals and possible applications

Semantic relations are an important element in the construction of ontology-based linguistic resources and models of problem domains. Nevertheless, they remain under-specified. This is a pervasive problem in both Software Engineering and Artificial Intelligence. Thus, we find semantic links that can have multiple interpretations, abstractions that are not enough to represent the relation richness of problem domains, and even poorly structured taxonomies. However, if provided with precise semantics, some of these problems can be avoided, and meaningful operations can be performed on them that can be an aid in the ontology construction process. In this paper we present some insightful issues about the representation of relations. Moreover, the initiatives aiming to provide relations with clear semantics are explained and the inclusion of their core ideas as part of a methodology for the development of ontology-based linguistic resources is proposed.

Development of an institutional framework to guide transitions into enhanced blended learning in higher education

The rapidly changing digital landscape is having a significant influence on learning and teaching. Our study assesses the response of one higher education institution (HEI) to the changing digital landscape and its transition into enhanced blended learning, which seeks to go beyond the early implementation stage to make the most effective use of online learning technologies to enhance the student experience and student learning outcomes. Evidence from a qualitative study comprising 20 semi-structured interviews, informed by a literature review, has resulted in the development of a holistic framework to guide HEIs transitioning into enhanced blended learning. The proposed framework addresses questions relating to the why (change agents), what (institutional considerations), how (organisational preparedness) and who (stakeholders) of transitions into enhanced blended learning. The involvement of all stakeholder groups is essential to a successful institutional transition into enhanced blended learning.

Nurturing global collaboration and networked learning in higher education

We consider the principles of communities of practice (CoP) and networked learning in higher education, illustrated with a case study. iCollab has grown from an international community of practice connecting students and lecturers in seven modules across seven higher education institutions in six countries, to a global network supporting the exploration and evaluation of mobile web tools to engage in participatory curriculum development and supporting students in developing international collaboration and cooperation skills. This article explores the interplay of collaboration and cooperation, CoP and networked learning; describes how this interplay has operated in iCollab; and highlights opportunities and challenges of learning, teaching and interacting with students in networked publics in higher education.

Delivery Of A Urology Online Course Using Moodle Versus Didactic Lectures Methods.

To subjectively and objectively compare an accessible interactive electronic library using Moodle with lectures for urology teaching of medical students. Forty consecutive fourth-year medical students and one urology teacher were exposed to two teaching methods (4 weeks each) in the form of problem-based learning: - lectures and - student-centered group discussion based on Moodle (modular object-oriented dynamic learning environment) full time online delivered (24/7) with video surgeries, electronic urology cases and additional basic principles of the disease process. All 40 students completed the study. While 30% were moderately dissatisfied with their current knowledge base, online learning course delivery using Moodle was considered superior to the lectures by 86% of the students. The study found the following observations: (1) the increment in learning grades ranged from 7.0 to 9.7 for students in the online Moodle course compared to 4.0-9.6 to didactic lectures; (2) the self-reported student involvement in the online course was characterized as large by over 60%; (3) the teacher-student interaction was described as very frequent (50%) and moderately frequent (50%); and (4) more inquiries and requisitions by students as well as peer assisting were observed from the students using the Moodle platform. The Moodle platform is feasible and effective, enthusing medical students to learn, improving immersion in the urology clinical rotation and encouraging the spontaneous peer assisted learning. Future studies should expand objective evaluations of knowledge acquisition and retention.

Lidar com o sofrimento em Fisioterapia: a experiência formativa na ESTSP-IPP

A comunicação e a relação terapêutica são reconhecidamente domínios de competência dos profissionais de saúde cujas funções impliquem o contacto com doentes (Corney, 2000; Grilo & Pedro, 2005; Pio Abreu, 1998). Além do seu papel determinante na adesão terapêutica, a qualidade da comunicação e da relação terapêutica estabelecida tem particular impacto no sofrimento da pessoa, tomado como constructo multidimensional (McIntyre, 2004). Tradicionalmente descurados na formação académica, estes temas tendem actualmente a ganhar expressão nos currículos, para o que contribuíram, no espaço europeu, as recomendações para a adequação a Bolonha (Lopes, 2004). Neste trabalho, descrevemos a metodologia de formação adoptada para estes domínios na licenciatura em Fisioterapia da ESTSP-IPP, a funcionar segundo o modelo pedagógico designado Problem-Based Learning (Walsh, 2005; Macedo, 2009). Além dos conhecimentos disseminados ao longo de toda a estrutura curricular, temas como a comunicação (Watzlawick, Bavelas & Jackson, 1967/1993), a escuta activa (Gordon & Edwards, 1997), a relação terapêutica (Rogers, 1957/1992, 1980, 1985), as competências e microcompetências/técnicas de atendimento e de observação (Ivey, 1983; Ivey & Downing, 1990; Ivey, Gluckstern & Ivey, 2006) ou as comunicações difíceis (Faulkner, Maguire & Regnard, 1994; Maguire, 2000) são alvo de formação mais intensiva ao longo de cerca de 16 semanas consecutivas do 1º ciclo de estudos, com recurso a diferentes tipologias de aula visando desenvolver, além dos conhecimentos, atitudes e habilidades nestes domínios.

Using remote experimentation in a large undergraduate course: initial findings

The use of remote labs in undergraduate courses has been reported in literature several times since the mid 90's. Nevertheless, very few articles present results about the correspondent learning gains obtained by students, and in what conditions those systems can be more efficient, thus suggesting a lack of data concerning their pedagogical effectiveness. This paper addresses such a gap by presenting some initial findings concerning the use of a remote lab (VISIR), in a large undergraduate course on Physics, with over 550 students enrolled.

Using VISIR in a large undergraduate course: preliminary assessment results

The use of remote labs in undergraduate courses has been reported in literature several times since the mid 90's. Nevertheless, very few articles present results about the learning gains obtained by students using them, especially with a large number of students, thus suggesting a lack of data concerning their pedagogical effectiveness. This paper addresses such a gap by presenting some preliminary results concerning the use of a remote laboratory, known as VISIR, in a large undergraduate course on Applied Physics, with over 500 students enrolled.
