Emotional characteristics of psychology students: a study based on the formative research perspective

In the formative research scheme, the author built a psychological scale, with the purpose of analyzing psychological characteristics of the School of Psychology students. The instrument showed a high reliability coefficient (α=0,86), the exploratory factorial analysis found five variables which allowed to predict some aspects of sex and career level through a logistic regression; the ALSCAL showed two emotional dimensions. The author recommends to improve the instrument and to continue its application in the School. It is also necessary to develop qualitative research to acquire new data about the topic of the research.

Virtualization of seed research: perhaps a continuity model.

The research nurseries serve as a initiative designed for the purpose of contribute to the breakdown of seizure paradigms of knowledge, supported by a theoretical model of discernment that exceed the traditional method of learning in the classroom, to transcend critical insights into transforming the environment under an autonomous space to provide tools essentially scientific, but with ethical criterion and social commitment. Such a conception, however, could be perceived as talkative, and even metaphorical, at the contrast of reality purely versatile in which the neophyte not only tries to get enough of the fruit of knowledge, but also requires that appropriate strategies are put forward to achieve seizure. Then arises, from the formative entelechy the use of technological tools based on virtual learning environments, in order to enhance motivation as an alternative against the blurring of perspectives and the emerging business in some types of nurseries, stranded attitude, that sometimes not far from the master model.

Formative Research. An Integral Vision for Health Professionals

These writing conceive formation in formative research as a complex process that demands simultaneous and congruent actions in the objective, subjective and intersubjective fields, adjusted to a careful and progressive planification in order to form teachers, students and management staff as university actors of research processes. Integral formation in formative research into health area demands a comprehensive and broad perspective encompassing science, moral and art, or objective truth, subjective veracity and intersubjective equity. All means must meet towards a strong and developmental formative research culture capable of nourishing subjects engaged in systematic self-questioning, interaction and argumentated debate at the interior of communities of pairs. In the same way, they must have rigorous methodological formation in order to approach the study objects.

Science formative assessment : 75 practical strategies for linking assessment, instruction and learning.

El autor nos presenta una serie de métodos que incorporan la evaluación al proceso de enseñanza y aprendizaje, con técnicas que ayudarán a los profesores, desde educación infantil hasta secundaria, a hacer más efectiva la enseñaza de las asignaturas de ciencias. Esta evaluación del proceso de formación permitirá a los educadores descubrir los conceptos previos de los alumnos, determinar el nivel de compresión de las ideas clave, y diseñar oportunidades de aprendizaje que profundizarán su dominio de los contenidos.

One or the other? Do we have to choose? : summative and-or formative evaluation. '¿Una u otra? ¿Tenemos que elegir? : evaluación formativa y-o sumativa'.

Se definen los conceptos de evaluación sumativa y evaluación formativa con el ánimo de ver si son tan diferentes y excluyentes. Se proponen caminos para combinar ambas y para incluir a los estudiantes en el proceso de evaluación.

Artistic education an alternative formative pedagogical and didactic tool: folder, blog
