Survey on integration of Applied Geology and Geomorphology in Civil Engineering curricula in the framework of the European Higher Education Area (EHEA) by using practical trips

The engineer must have sufficient theoretical knowledge to be applied to solve specific problems, with the necessary capacity to simplify these approaches, and taking into account factors such as speed, simplicity, quality and economy. In Geology, its ultimate goal is the exploration of the history of the geological events through observation, deduction, reasoning and, in exceptional cases by the direct underground exploration or experimentation. Experimentation is very limited in Geology. Reproduction laboratory of certain phenomena or geological processes is difficult because both time and space become a large scale. For this reason, some Earth Sciences are in a nearly descriptive stage whereas others closest to the experimental, Geophysics and Geochemistry, have assimilated progress experienced by the physics and chemistry. Thus, Anglo-Saxon countries clearly separate Engineering Geology from Geological Engineering, i.e. Applied Geology to the Geological Engineering concepts. Although there is a big professional overlap, the first one corresponds to scientific approach, while the last one corresponds to a technological one. Applied Geology to Engineering could be defined as the Science and Applied Geology to the design, construction and performance of engineering infrastructures in and field geology discipline. There has been much discussion on the primacy of theory over practice. Today prevails the exaggeration of practice, but you get good workers and routine and mediocre teachers. This idea forgets too that teaching problem is a problem of right balance. The approach of the action lines on the European Higher Education Area (EHEA) framework provides for such balance. Applied Geology subject represents the first real contact with the physical environment with the practice profession and works. Besides, the situation of the topic in the first trace of Study Plans for many students implies the link to other subjects and topics of the career (tunnels, dams, groundwater, roads, etc). This work analyses in depth the justification of such practical trips. It shows the criteria and methods of planning and the result which manifests itself in pupils. Once practical trips experience developed, the objective work tries to know about results and changes on student’s motivation in learning perspective. This is done regardless of the outcome of their knowledge achievements assessed properly and they are not subject to such work. For this objective, it has been designed a survey about their motivation before and after trip. Survey was made by the Unidad Docente de Geología Aplicada of the Departamento de Ingeniería y Morfología del Terreno (Escuela Técnica Superior de Ingenieros de Caminos, Canales y Puertos, Universidad Politécnica de Madrid). It was completely anonymous. Its objective was to collect the opinion of the student as a key agent of learning and teaching of the subject. All the work takes place under new teaching/learning criteria approach at the European framework in Higher Education. The results are exceptionally good with 90% of student’s participation and with very high scores in a number of questions as the itineraries, teachers and visited places (range of 4.5 to 4.2 in a 5 points scale). The majority of students are very satisfied (average of 4.5 in a 5 points scale).

CAS: A tool for improving autonomous work

The EHEA proposes a student-centered teaching model. Therefore, it seems necessary to actively involve the students in the teaching-learning process. Increasing the active participation of the students is not always easy in mathematical topics, since, when the students just enter the University, their ability to carry out autonomous mathematical work is scarce. In this paper we present some experiences related with the use of Computer Algebra Systems (CAS). All the experiences are designed in order to develop some mathematical competencies and mainly self-learning, the use of technology and team-work. The experiences include some teachers? proposals including: small projects to be executed in small groups, participation in competitions, the design of different CAS-Toolboxes, etc. The results obtained in the experiences, carried out with different groups of students from different engineering studies at different universities, makes us slightly optimistic about the educational value of the model.

Evolution and implementation of CDIO initiatives at ETSII-UPM

The School of Industrial Engineering at Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (ETSII-UPM) has been promoting student-centred teaching-learning activities, according to the aims of the Bologna Declaration, well before the official establishment of the European Area of Higher Education. Such student-centred teaching-learning experiences led us to the conviction that project based learning is rewarding, both for students and academics, and should be additionally promoted in our new engineering programmes, adapted to the Grade-Master structure. The level of commitment of our teachers with these activities is noteworthy, as the teaching innovation experiences carried out in the last ten years have led to the foundation of 17 Teaching Innovation Groups at ETSII-UPM, hence leading the ranking of teaching innovation among all UPM centres. Among interesting CDIO activities our students have taken part in especially complex projects, including the Formula Student, linked to the complete development of a competition car, and the Cybertech competition, aimed at the design, construction and operation of robots for different purposes. Additional project-based learning teamwork activities have been linked to toy design, to the development of medical devices, to the implementation of virtual laboratories, to the design of complete industrial installations and factories, among other activities detailed in present study. The implementation of Bologna process will culminate at ETSII-UPM with the beginning of the Master’s Degree in Industrial Engineering, in academic year 2014-15. The program has been successfully approved by the Spanish Agency for Accreditation (ANECA), with the inclusion of a set of subjects based upon the CDIO methodology denominated generally “INGENIA”, linked to the Spanish “ingeniar” (to provide ingenious solutions), also related etymologically in Spanish with “ingeniero”, engineer. INGENIA students will live through the complete development process of a complex product or system and there will be different kind of projects covering most of the engineering majors at ETSII-UPM.

The textbook of this research, treats all the thematical content in this area, which are studied in the whole academic program. These and another relevant subjects in the database area are retaken from a simple but fundamentally practical theorical focus, allowing the studying on acquiring a significative learning in an easier and single source way. As a result, we present the almost definitive version of the book which is been tested on pilot groups

Análisis del rendimiento académico del alumnado de último curso de ingeniería mediante nuevas tecnologías en el proceso de enseñanza‐aprendizaje

En el marco del Espacio Europeo de Educación Superior los estudios deben de estar orientados a facilitar la movilidad de los futuros egresados para que su inclusión en mundo laboral sea global y en este contexto, los sistemas educativos deben introducir cambios en el proceso de enseñanza – aprendizaje y en la gestión. Como uno de los elementos básicos de la creación del EEES es el aprendizaje a lo largo de la vida, se deben adoptar metodologías que doten al estudiante de capacidades para poder enfrentarse a todos los retos de la vida laboral. A través de la presente investigación se trata de aportar una visión real de la aplicación efectiva de un modelo de Aprendizaje Basado en Problemas y el Método del Caso acompañados de una fuerte Acción Tutorial y el uso de la Tecnología de la Información y Comunicación en la Universidad (TIC). Se considera asimismo de gran interés para la mejora del aprendizaje conocer cuál es la opinión real de los estudiantes universitarios, ya que son los principales implicados en relación a un modelo formativo apoyado en el Aprendizaje Basado en Problemas, el Método del Caso, la Acción Tutorial y utilización de las TIC. A través de este estudio se pretende comprobar y valorar cual es la visión real que los alumnos tienen de estas aplicaciones y como las utilizan. Para ello durante los últimos cursos se ha trabajado con alumnos de los últimos cursos de la Escuela Técnica Superior de Ingeniería Civil de la Universidad Politécnica de Madrid aplicando técnicas de Aprendizaje Basado en Problemas y el Método del Caso conjuntamente con la utilización de un Modelo de Acción Tutorial y el uso de la TIC. La tarea se ha centrado en desarrollar, a lo largo de los cursos 2009-10, 2010-11, 2011-12 y 2013-14, un modelo de Acción Tutorial con los alumnos matriculados en las asignaturas de Caminos I, Caminos II, Aforos y Ordenación del Tráfico, asignaturas de la titulación de Ingeniería Técnica de Obras Públicas, y por otro lado, en la asignatura de Caminos, perteneciente a la titulación de Ingeniería Civil.

ABSTRACT Abstract In the frame of the European Higher Education Area, the studies must be faced to facilitate mobility of future graduates for inclusion in the workplace is global and in this context, educational systems must introduce changes in the process of education-learning and management. Since one of the basic elements of the creation of the EHEA is learning throughout life, there must be adopted methodologies that provide the student of aptitudes to be able to face all the challenges of the labor life. Through this research it is provided a real vision of the effective application of a Model of Learning Based on Problems and the Case Method accompanied by a strong Tutorial Action and the use of ITC in the University. It is also considered of great interest for the improvement of learning to know what the real opinion of the college students is, as they are the main players in relation in a training model based on Problem-Based Learning, the Case Method, the Tutorial Action and Use of ICT. Through this study it is expected to verify and assess which is the real vision that students have about these applications and how they use them. In order to achieve the goal of this research project, during the last three years I have been working with students of last courses of the Civil Engineering School of the Technical University of Madrid applying with them techniques of Problem-Based Learning and the Case Method together with the use of a Model Action Tutorial and the Use of Information Technology and Communication (ICT). The task has focused on developing, over the 2009-10, 2010-11, 2011-12 and 2013-14 courses, a model of Tutorial Action with students enrolled in the subjects of Roads I, Roads II, Traffic Gauging and Traffic Management, all of them of the old degree in Civil Engineering (1971 Study Plan), and secondly, on the subject of Roads which belong to the current degree of Civil Engineering. Using questionnaires at the beginning and end of the course the perception that students have on this action.. Then, during the 2010-11, 2011-12 and 2013-14 courses an experimental model is developed to evaluate improvements in both performance and skills acquisition, using Problem-Based Learning and the Case Method together with the ICT in Teaching-Learning Pprocess as a model of Tutorial Action with students.

Laboratorios virtuales y docencia de la automática en la formación tecnológica de base

Recientemente, ha surgido un interés por aprender a programar, debido a las oportunidades profesionales que da este tipo de estudios universitarios. Es fácil de entender porque el número de trabajos para programadores e ingenieros informáticos está creciendo rápidamente. Por otro lado, un amplio grupo de psicólogos opinan que el pensamiento computacional es una destreza fundamental para cualquiera, no sólo para los ingenieros informáticos. Para leer, escribir y realizar operaciones aritméticas, deberíamos utilizar el pensamiento computacional y por lo tanto, para desarrollar todas las habilidades analíticas de los niños. Es necesario cambiar los requerimientos de las destrezas necesarias para trabajar, los nuevos trabajadores necesitarán destrezas más sofisticadas en ciencias, matemáticas, ingeniería y tecnología. Consecuentemente, los contenidos sobre Tecnología de la Información tales como electrónica, programación, robótica y control se incrementan en la educación tecnológica en enseñanza secundaria. El desarrollo y utilización de los Laboratorios Virtuales de Control y Robótica ayuda a alcanzar este objetivo. Nos vamos a centrar en control y robótica porque un proyecto de control y robótica incluye contenidos de otras tecnologías tales como electrónica, programación, … Se ha implementado un sitio web con Laboratorios Virtuales de Control y Robótica. En este trabajo, se muestran seis grupos de laboratorios virtuales para la enseñanza del control y la robótica a niveles preuniversitarios. Estos laboratorios virtuales han sido usados para la docencia de alumnos de enseñanza secundaria. Las estadísticas del proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje permiten validar ciertos aspectos de dicho trabajo. Se describen dichos laboratorios y la mejora del aprendizaje en cuanto a conocimientos procedimentales y conceptuales, así como la mejora de la interactividad respecto al aprendizaje con análogas aplicaciones con objetivos de aprendizaje idénticos, pero careciendo de la componente de laboratorio virtual. Se explican algunas de las experiencias realizadas con los alumnos. Los resultados sugieren, que dentro de la educación tecnológica de la educación secundaria, los laboratorios virtuales pueden ser explotados como un efectivo y motivacional entorno de aprendizaje. ABSTRACT Recently, there has been a surge of interest in learning to code, focusing especially on career opportunities. It is easy to understand why: the number of jobs for programmers and computer scientists is growing rapidly. On the other hand, the psychologists think that computational thinking is a fundamental skill for everyone, not just for computer scientists. To reading, writing, and arithmetic, we should add computational thinking to every child’s analytical ability. It is necessary to change workforce requirements mean that new workers will need ever more sophisticated skills in science, mathematics, engineering and technology. Consequently, the contents about Information Technology as well as electronics, coding, robotics and control increase in Technology Education in High School . The development and utilization of the Virtual Laboratories of Control and Robotics help to achieve this goal. We focus on control and robotics because a control and robotics project includes other technologies contents like electronics, coding,... A web site with Virtual Laboratories of Control and Robotics was implemented. In this work, six groups of virtual laboratories for teaching control and robotics in preuniversity level are shown. These Virtual Laboratories were used for teaching students at high school. The statistics of teaching-learning process allow to check some issues of this work. The laboratories, the improvement of learning (concepts and procedures) and interactivity are described and are compared to similar applications. They share identical learning objectives but they lack the virtual laboratory aspect. Some experiences with students are explained too. The results suggest that within high school technology education, virtual laboratories can be exploited as effective and motivational learning environments.

Motivación, flow e intención de práctica físico-deportiva en estudiantes de educación física de España y Latinoamérica

A pesar de los innegables beneficios físicos y psicosociales que la práctica de actividad física tiene para la población en las últimas décadas se observa un importante descenso en el nivel de práctica de actividad física durante la adolescencia. La Educación Física (EF) es una asignatura presente en las primeras etapas educativas de los currículums de todos los países y supone para la población infantil y adolescente, durante el periodo de escolarización obligatoria, un entorno de contacto cotidiano con la actividad física y deportiva lo que explica el creciente interés que existe por investigar en este contexto y extraer conclusiones que puedan ayudar a revertir el proceso de progresivo abandono de la práctica en estas edades. El presente trabajo se centra en un periodo, la adolescencia, especialmente sensible al abandono de la práctica de actividad física. Apoyándonos en tres de los marcos teóricos más importantes de los últimos años - Teoría de Metas de Logro, Teoría de la Autodeterminación y Teoría del Flow - hemos realizado un diseño con tres estudios complementarios que nos permitan avanzar en el conocimiento de las variables que afectan a esta realidad. En el primero de los estudios, en el que participaron 3990 estudiantes de EF de España, Argentina, Colombia y Ecuador con edades comprendidas entre 12 y 18 años, se fijaron como objetivos el establecimiento de perfiles motivacionales en estudiantes de EF considerando las orientaciones motivacionales, la motivación intrínseca y el flow disposicional; la comprobación de la posible estabilidad de los perfiles establecidos en cuatro países diferentes; y el análisis de la relación entre los perfiles motivacionales establecidos con la práctica de actividad física realizada en la actualidad y la intención de ser activo en el futuro. Los resultados revelaron la existencia de tres perfiles motivacionales en los estudiantes: perfil de motivación baja-moderada, perfil de motivación de alta motivación con bajo ego y perfil de alta motivación. Se encontraron similitudes en los perfiles motivacionales obtenidos en los cuatro países analizados, sugiriéndose la posibilidad de que la lengua materna compartida pueda ser una variable de influencia en la existencia de patrones conductuales similares. La orientación al ego resultó ser un elemento diferenciador en la relación de los dos perfiles que mostraron niveles más altos de motivación intrínseca, flow disposicional y orientación a la tarea con las variables de práctica. Mayores niveles de orientación al ego determinaron mayores valores de práctica e intención de práctica. En el segundo estudio, en el que participaron 365 estudiantes de EF de España, Argentina y Colombia con edades comprendidas entre 12 y 16 años, se testó un modelo explicativo de la intención de ser físicamente activo en el futuro en estudiantes de EF poco motivados introduciendo el flow disposicional como variable explicativa junto a las orientaciones motivacionales y la motivación intrínseca. El modelo de ecuaciones estructurales testado muestra que tanto la orientación al ego como la orientación a la tarea y la motivación intrínseca predijeron el flow disposicional. No se encontró un efecto significativo de la orientación a la tarea sobre la motivación intrínseca, ni de esta sobre la intención de práctica de AFD en el futuro. El flow disposicional resultó ser un mediador entre ambas orientaciones motivacionales y dicha intención, adquiriendo un papel relevante en la predicción de la intención de realizar actividad física en el futuro en los sujetos con poca motivación hacia la clase de EF. En el último estudio, con una muestra de 53 estudiantes de EF pertenecientes a dos clases de segundo curso de ESO con edades comprendidas entre 13 y 15 años, se analizó el efecto de una intervención de apoyo a las NPB sobre la satisfacción de las mismas, la motivación intrínseca, la disposición a experimentar flow y la intención de ser físicamente activo en el futuro; estudiándose también el efecto de la misma sobre ciertas variables presentes en el proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje tales como la diversión, el aprendizaje y el gusto hacia el contenido y la metodología empleada. La intervención resultó efectiva en la mejora de todas las variables motivacionales analizadas a excepción de la satisfacción de la necesidad de relaciones sociales, variable que podría ser más difícilmente modificable en tanto que los grupos de clase suelen permanecer estables a lo largo de esta etapa educativa. Los alumnos de la condición experimental presentaron niveles más elevados de diversión, aprendizaje y gusto hacia el contenido y la metodología empleada. ABSTRACT Despite the undeniable physical and psychological benefits that physical activity has on health, a significant drop in the level of physical activity during adolescence has been observed over the last few decades. Physical education (PE) is present in the early stages of educational curricula of all countries, creating an environment in which children and adolescents can maintain daily contact with sport and physical activity during the period of compulsory education. There is thus a growing interest in research within this context, helping to draw conclusions aimed at reversing the progressive decline of physical activity in this age bracket. The work presented here focuses on adolescence – a period particularly sensitive when faced with declining rates of physical activity. Relying on three of the most important recent theoretical frameworks – Achievement Goal Theory, Self-Determination Theory and Flow Theory – we have carried out a design using three complementary studies that allow us to advance the understanding of variables affecting this reality. The first two studies employ a correlational methodology while the third follows a quasi-experimental design. The objectives of the first study, with the participation of 3990 PE students aged 12 to 18 from Spain, Argentina, Colombia and Ecuador, were: a) to establish motivational profiles in physical education students taking into consideration motivational orientations, intrinsic motivation and dispositional flow; b) to check the possible stability of the established profiles in the four countries; and c) to analyze the relationship between motivational profiles and both current levels of physical activity and intention to be physically active in the future. Results revealed the existence of three motivational profiles: low-moderate motivation profile, high motivation and low ego profile and high motivation profile. Similarities were found across the four countries, which presents the possibility that sharing the same mother tongue might influence the existence of similar behavioral patterns. Amongst the profiles that showed the highest levels of intrinsic motivation, dispositional flow and task orientation with practice variables, ego orientation became apparent as a differentiating element. Higher levels of ego orientation correlated with higher levels both in current level of physical activity and intention to be physically active in the future. In the second study, with the participation of 365 PE students aged 12 to 16 from Spain, Argentina and Colombia, an explanatory model of the intention to be physically active within the low-moderate motivation profile was tested, including dispositional flow as an influence variable together with motivational orientations and intrinsic motivation. The structural model equation in the low-moderate motivation profile shows some differences with respect to findings of similar studies using heterogeneous samples in motivational profiles. It was found that ego orientation, task orientation and intrinsic motivation predicted dispositional flow. No significant effects of task orientation on intrinsic motivation, or of intrinsic motivation on intention to be physically active in the future were found. Dispositional flow emerged as a mediator between both motivational orientations and intention, acquiring an important role in the prediction of future intentions to be physically active in adolescents who show low levels of motivation towards physical education. In the last of the three studies, with the participation of 53 PE students drawn from two classes in the second year of secondary education aged 13 to 15, the effect of an intervention to support basic psychological needs was tested against the satisfaction of these needs, intrinsic motivation, disposition to experience flow and intention to be physically active in the future. Alongside this, the aforementioned intervention was tested on certain variables present in the teaching-learning process such as fun, learning and taste for the activity and methodology. Supportive intervention was effective in improving all the motivational variables, except for the satisfaction of the relatedness variable, which may be more difficult to modify as class groups tend to remain stable throughout this educational state. Students in the experimental condition showed higher levels of fun, learning and taste for the content and methodology.

Un nuevo sistema de gobernanza para afrontar los retos del siglo XXI en la educación universitaria en Perú basado en el modelo de análisis de políticas

Un nuevo sistema de gobernanza para afrontar los retos del siglo XXI en la educación universitaria en Perú basado en el modelo de análisis de políticas, surge de observar el efecto de la competencia en los mercados, de la distribución de los escasos recursos según productividad y rendimiento, y de la gestión ineficiente de las universidades ya que estos parámetros están cambiando los criterios de confianza y legitimidad del sistema universitario en Perú. Las universidades se perciben más como instituciones del sector público, mientras que los servicios que ofrecen deben más bien contribuir a la modernización de la sociedad emergente y a la economía del conocimiento. Las reformas universitarias- iniciadas en los años 80 - han estado inspiradas en las organizaciones universitarias exitosas que han logrado modificar su gobernanza y van dirigidas a transformar ciertas instituciones burocráticas en organizaciones capaces de desempeñar la función de actores en esta competición global por los recursos y los mejores talentos. En este contexto, la universidad peruana se enfrenta a dos grandes desafíos: el de adaptarse a las nuevas perspectivas mundiales, y el poder dar mejor respuesta a las demandas, necesidades y expectativas de la sociedad. Un cambio en el sistema de gobernanza para la educación superior universitaria dará una solución integral a estos desafíos permitiéndole enfrentar los problemas de la universidad para su desarrollo e inserción en las corrientes mundiales. La metodología planteada en la investigación es cualitativa parte del análisis de la realidad como un TODO, sin reducirlos a sus partes integrantes, con la interpretación de los hechos, buscando entender las variables que intervienen. Se propone una política para la educación universitaria en Perú que se permeabilice a la sociedad, cambiando el modelo de planificación de un modelo de reforma social a un modelo de análisis de políticas, donde el Estado Peruano actúe como único responsable de responder a la sociedad demandante como su representante legal, y con unos organismo externo e independiente que siente las bases de la práctica, como se está haciendo en muchos modelos universitarios del mundo. Esta investigación presenta una primera fase conceptual, que aborda la evolución histórica de las universidades en el Perú, analizando y clarificando las fuerzas impulsoras a través del tiempo y distinguir las principales líneas que le imprimen dirección y sentido a los cambios de una realidad educativa universitaria. Así mismo, en esta fase se hace un análisis de la situación actual de las universidades en el Perú para llegar a determinar en qué situación se encuentra y si está preparada para enfrentar los retos de la educación universitaria mundial, para esto se analizan los modelos universitarios de mayor prestigio en el mundo. El marco teórico anterior permite sentar, en una segunda fase de la investigación, las bases científicas del modelo que se propone: el modelo de planificación de análisis de políticas para el sistema universitario peruano. Este modelo de ámbito público propuesto para la educación universitaria peruana basa su estrategia en un modelo de planificación con un objetivo común: “Mejorar la calidad de la educación superior universitaria peruana con el fin de aumentar la empleabilidad y la movilidad de los ciudadanos así como la competitividad internacional de la educación universitaria en Perú”, y con unas líneas de acción concretadas en cuatro objetivos específicos: 1) competencias (genéricas y específicas de las áreas temáticas); 2) enfoques de enseñanza, aprendizaje y evaluación; 3) créditos académicos; 4) calidad de los programa. Así como los fundamentos metodológicos del modelo de análisis de políticas, utilizado como estructura política, teniendo en cuenta las características básicas del modelo: a) Planificación desde arriba; b) Se centra en la toma de decisiones; c) Separación entre conocimiento experto y decisión; d) El estudio de los resultados orienta el proceso decisor. Finalmente, se analiza una fase de validación del modelo propuesto para la educación superior universitaria peruana, con los avances ya realizados en Perú en temas de educación superior, como es, el actual contexto de la nueva Ley Universitaria N°30220 promulgada el 8 de julio de 2014, la creación del SUNEDU y la reorganización del SINEACE, que tienen como propósito atender la crisis universitaria centrada en tres ejes principales incluidos en la ley, considerados como bases para una reforma. Primero, el Estado asume la rectoría de las políticas educativas en todos los niveles educativos. El segundo aspecto consiste en instalar un mecanismo de regulación de la calidad que junto con la reestructuración de aquellos otros existentes debieran sentar las bases para que las familias y estudiantes tengan la garantía pública de que el servicio que se ofrece, sin importar sus características particulares, presenten un mínimo común de calidad y un tercer aspecto es que la ley se reafirma en que la universidad es un espacio de construcción de conocimiento basado en la investigación y la formación integral. Las finalidades, la estructura y organización, las formas de graduación, las características del cuerpo docente, la obligatoriedad por los estudios generales, etc., indican que la reflexión académica es el centro articulador de la vida universitaria. Esta validación también se ha confrontado con los resultados de las entrevistas cualitativas a juicio de experto que se han realizado a rectores de universidades públicas y privadas así como a rectores miembros de la ex ANR, miembros de organizaciones como CONCYTEC, IEP, CNE, CONEAU, ICACIT e investigadores en educación superior, con la finalidad de analizar la sostenibilidad del modelo propuesto en el tiempo. Los resultados evidencian, que en el sistema universitario peruano se puede implementar un cambio hacía un modelo de educación superior universitaria, con una política educativa que se base en un objetivo común claramente definido, un calendario para lograrlo y un conjunto objetivos específicos, con un cambio de estructura política de reforma social a un modelo de análisis de políticas. Así mismo se muestran los distintos aspectos que los interesados en la educación superior universitaria deben considerar, si se quiere ocupar un espacio en el futuro y si interesa que la universidad peruana pueda contribuir para que la sociedad se forje caminos posibles a través de una buena docencia que se refleje en su investigación, con alumnos internacionales, sobre todo, en los postgrados; con un investigación que se traduzca en publicaciones, patentes, etc., de impacto mundial, con relevancia en la sociedad porque contribuye a su desarrollo, concretándose en trabajos de muy diversos tipos, promovidos junto con empresas, gobiernos en sus diversos niveles, instituciones públicas o privadas, etc., para que aporten financiación a la universidad. ABSTRACT A new system of governance to meet the challenges of the twenty-first century university education in Peru based on the model of policy analysis, comes to observe the effect of market competition, distribution of scarce resources according to productivity and performance, and inefficient management of universities as these parameters are changing the criteria of trust and legitimacy of the university system in Peru. Universities are perceived more as public sector institutions, while the services provided should rather contribute to the modernization of society and the emerging knowledge economy. The-university reforms initiated in the 80s - have been inspired by successful university organizations that have succeeded in changing its governance and as attempting to transform certain bureaucratic institutions into organizations that act as actors in this global competition for resources and top talent. In this context, the Peruvian university faces two major challenges: to adapt to the new global outlook, and to better respond to the demands, needs and expectations of society. A change in the system of governance for university education give a comprehensive solution to address these challenges by allowing the problems of the university development and integration into global flows. The methodology proposed in this research is qualitative part of the analysis of reality as a whole, without reducing them to their constituent parts, with the interpretation of the facts, seeking to understand the variables involved. a policy for university education in Peru that permeabilizes society is proposed changing the planning model of a model of social reform a model of policy analysis, where the Peruvian State to act as the sole responsible for responding to the applicant as its legal representative, and with external and independent body that provides the basis of practice, as is being done in many university models in the world. This research presents an initial conceptual phase, which deals with the historical development of universities in Peru, analyzing and clarifying the driving forces over time and distinguish the main lines that give direction and meaning to changes in university educational reality. Also, at this stage an analysis of the current situation of universities in Peru is done to be able to determine what the situation is and whether it is prepared to meet the challenges of the global higher education, for this university models are analyzed most prestigious in the world. The above theoretical framework allows to lay in a second phase of research, the scientific basis of the model proposed: the planning model of policy analysis for the Peruvian university system. This proposed model of public sphere for the Peruvian college bases its strategy on a planning model with a common goal: "To improve the quality of the Peruvian university education in order to enhance the employability and mobility of citizens and the international competitiveness of higher education in Peru ", and lines of action materialized in four specific objectives: 1) competences (generic and specific subject areas); 2) approaches to teaching, learning and assessment; 3) credits; 4) quality of the program. As well as the methodological foundations of policy analysis model, used as political structure, taking into account the basic characteristics of the model: a) Planning from above; b) focuses on decision making; c) Separation between expertise and decision; d) The study of the results process guides the decision maker. Finally, a validation phase of the proposed Peruvian university higher education, with the progress already made in Peru on issues of higher education model is analyzed, as is the current context of the new University Law No. 30220 promulgated on July 8 2014, the creation of SUNEDU and reorganization of SINEACE, which are intended to serve the university crisis centered on three main areas included in the law, considered as the basis for reform. First, the State assumes the stewardship of education policies at all educational levels. The second aspect is to install a mechanism for regulating the quality along with the restructuring of those existing ones should lay the foundation for families and students to guarantee that public service is offered, regardless of their individual characteristics, are of common minimum quality and a third aspect is that the law reaffirms that the university is building a space of research-based knowledge and comprehensive training. The aims, structure and organization, forms of graduation, faculty characteristics, the requirement for the general studies, etc., indicate that the academic reflection is the coordinating center of university life. This validation has also been confronted with the results of qualitative interviews with expert judgment that has been made to directors of public and private universities as well as leading members of the former ANR members of organizations like CONCYTEC, IEP, CNE, CONEAU, ICACIT and researchers in higher education, in order to analyze the sustainability of the proposed model in time. The results show, that the Peruvian university system can implement a change to a model of university education, an educational policy based on clearly defined common goal, a timetable for achieving specific objectives set and, with a change social policy structure to a model of reform policy analysis. It also shows the various aspects that those interested in university education should consider, if you want to occupy a space in the future and if interested in the Peruvian university can contribute to society possible paths is forged through research good teaching, international students, especially in graduate programs; with research that results in publications, patents, etc., global impact, relevance to society because it contributes to their development taking shape in very different types of jobs, promoted with businesses, governments at various levels, public institutions or private, etc., to provide funding to the university.

A COMUNICAÇÃO ON-LINE ENTRE PROFESSORES UNIVERSITÁRIOS E SEUS ALUNOS: A SALA DE AULA VIRTUAL

Esta tese examina a comunicação on-line não-formal entre os professores universitários e seus alunos e, também, os grupos virtuais criados pelos alunos. No referencial teórico documentou-se subtemas fundamentais para a formação do raciocínio central do trabalho. Teve-se como objeto de pesquisa a pergunta o uso da comunicação on-line de modo não-formal entre professores e alunos complementa o ensino/aprendizagem no curso superior? . Este trabalho abre espaço para que novas investigações sejam realizadas, pois as constatações verificadas na pesquisa ofereceram dados importantes para entender as necessidades que levam os alunos ao uso das tecnologias de comunicação on-line para interagirem com seus colegas de classe e com seus professores. Esses motivos ficaram claramente especificados, ao longo do estudo, como complemento e contribuição na melhoria do ensino/aprendizagem dos alunos além de formalizar a comunicação on-line como um diálogo pedagógico entre professores e alunos. O estudo foi qualitativo e quantitativo e teve como técnica de pesquisa um levantamento de dados realizado em uma amostra de oportunidade/conveniência. A análise dos dados levantados permitiu verificar que o uso da comunicação on-line auxilia no complemento do ensino como reforço às aulas presenciais, e possibilita a aprendizagem aos alunos do curso superior, além de contribuir para um diálogo pedagógico ajudando os professores e os alunos na relação após as aulas.(AU)

CONSELHO DE CLASSE E SÉRIE: Tensões, acertos e desacertos na construção da gestão democrática

A presente pesquisa, de natureza qualitativa de cunho etnográfico, está direcionada às políticas educacionais voltadas para a descentralização, que tem seu campo de atuação no universo micro da escola. Nesse contexto, é evidenciado o papel dos colegiados escolares, entre eles o Conselho de Classe e Série, pois esse vem se concretizando como um dos espaços que mais favorecem a participação dos diferentes segmentos da escola, tornando-se determinante para a qualidade da democratização da gestão escolar e do ensino-aprendizagem. A pesquisa desenvolveu-se em três momentos: 1) análise da documentação escolar; 2) observações em uma instituição escolar estadual da rede pública de São Bernardo do Campo e 3) entrevistas abertas e semi-estruturadas com pais, alunos, professores e gestores que serviram de suporte para tecer as considerações sobre as práticas realizadas durante os Conselhos de Classe e Série. Os objetivos da pesquisa foram: verificar como vem se estruturando a participação, seus acertos e desacertos na construção da gestão democrática da escola; desvelar o processo de implantação; entender como se dão as relações entre avaliação e aprendizagem em sala de aula. Mesmo tratando-se de um estudo de caso referente ao Conselho de Classe e Série, pode-se concluir que a participação é mediada por relações de poder, que se revelam a partir da interpretação das falas, e que estas se apresentam como determinantes para a ampliação da democracia dentro do ambiente escolar.(AU)
