Desarrollo de aprendizajes activos en primeros cursos universitarios: Workshop cónica.

Como ya es conocido, los profesores de Matemáticas utilizamos los ejemplos como recursos de aprendizaje para enseñar algún contenido matemático concreto, de modo que las generalizaciones y abstracciones sean más fácilmente entendidas por los alumnos, pasando de lo concreto a lo abstracto, como otra forma de enseñar y practicar en Matemáticas. Esta metodología de trabajo se ve potenciada por el uso de dispositivos móviles llamados mobile-learning (m-learning) o educación móvil (educación-m), en español. Siguiendo esta línea de trabajo, se ha realizado el workshop de cónicas que se presenta en este artículo, empleando estas nuevas tecnologías (TIC) y con el objetivo de desarrollar aprendizajes activos en Geometría a través de la resolución de problemas en los primeros cursos de Grado en las ingenierías. ABSTRACT: As it is already known, math teachers, use examples as learning resources, to teach some specific math contents, so that generalizations and abstractions are more easily understood by students, from concrete to abstract, as another way of Mathematics teaching and training. This methodology is enhanced by the use of mobile devices, called mobile-learning (m-learning) o “educación móvil” (educación-m), in Spanish. Following this strategy, the workshop of conic sections shown in this paper has been carried out, using these new technologies (ICT) and in order to develop active learning in Geometry through problem-solving at the first years of engineering degrees.

Workshop on Schizophrenia

On November 29–30, 1995, the National Academy of Sciences and the Institute of Medicine brought together experts in schizophrenia and specialists in other areas of the biological sciences in a workshop aimed at promoting the application of the latest biological information to this clinical problem. The workshop paid particular attention to evidence of pathology in the brains of people with schizophrenia, and to the possibility that this reflects an abnormality in brain development that eventually leads to the appearance of symptoms. The participants were impressed with the complexity of the problem, and felt that multiple approaches would be required to understand this disease. They recommended that a major focus should be on the search for predisposing genes, but that there should be parallel research in many other areas.
