Aproximación al EEES en los estudios de tercer ciclo

En las últimas décadas, los cambios tanto sociales como económicos, educativos y políticos han inducido una transformación en la enseñanza universitaria y en la actuación de sus principales protagonistas: profesorado y estudiantes. Por otro lado, el proceso de creación del Espacio Europeo de Educación Superior (Praga 1998, Bolonia 1999) obliga a las instituciones universitarias y su profesorado a asumir un modelo educativo que centra su atención en el aprendizaje del alumnado, en la consecución de competencias y capacidades, lo que exige al profesorado universitario de nuestro país modificar de manera sustancial su manera de entender la función docente. Basándonos en estas directrices, los profesores de uno de los cursos de doctorado del programa de ‘Ciencia de Materiales e Ingeniería Metalúrgica’ en la Universidad de Oviedo (Asturias, España), presentamos una innovadora metodología docente llevada a cabo en este curso adaptada a las exigencias del Espacio Europeo de Educación Superior (EEES). Teniendo en cuenta que un objetivo principal del tercer ciclo es la introducción del estudiante en el campo de la investigación, los profesores de esta asignatura hemos incluido entre los objetivos del curso la forma de plasmar, exponer y divulgar los resultados obtenidos en una investigación, realizando entre las sesiones del curso la celebración de un ‘congreso científico’

Big Data: Wrongs and Rights by Andrew Cormack (WAIS Seminar)

Abstract: Big Data has been characterised as a great economic opportunity and a massive threat to privacy. Both may be correct: the same technology can indeed be used in ways that are highly beneficial and those that are ethically intolerable, maybe even simultaneously. Using examples of how Big Data might be used in education - normally referred to as "learning analytics" - the seminar will discuss possible ethical and legal frameworks for Big Data, and how these might guide the development of technologies, processes and policies that can deliver the benefits of Big Data without the nightmares. Speaker Biography: Andrew Cormack is Chief Regulatory Adviser, Jisc Technologies. He joined the company in 1999 as head of the JANET-CERT and EuroCERT incident response teams.
