El objetivo del presente trabajo consistió en analizar la valoración que realizan los alumnos de la asignatura Análisi de Dades en Psicologia de los diferentes materiales puestos a su disposición para el proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje de esta materia, con el fin último de poder facilitar al alumnado el material más adecuado para el fomento de su trabajo autónomo. Para ello se administró un cuestionario elaborado ad-hoc en el que se preguntó sobre el diferente tipo de material que tenían a su disposición los alumnos matriculados en esta asignatura en el primer semestre del curso académico 2008-09; en concreto se trabajó con una muestra de 391 estudiantes. Los resultados mostraron que el material mejor evaluado fue el tradicional, es decir, el formulario de la asignatura, el dossier de problemas junto con sus soluciones y las clases, tanto las magistrales como prácticas; en tanto que el material más basado en las nuevas tecnologías fue el peor valorado (CD-Roms interactivos, páginas Web, glosario generado por los alumnos en el campus virtual de la asignatura).

El objetivo del presente estudio consiste en el análisis de la valoración que realizan tanto el alumnado como el profesorado de las asignaturas Análisis de Datos en Psicología y Técnicas de Investigación de los diferentes recursos y estrategias didácticos que se emplean en dichas asignaturas. Para ello se realizaron 3 grupos de discusión (2 con alumnado y 1 con profesorado) y se analizó el discurso que surgía en el interior de cada grupo. Los resultados complementan lo encontrado en investigaciones anteriores, mostrando que ambos colectivos prefieren los recursos más tradicionales y que las clases (magistrales y prácticas) continúan siendo las mejor valoradas. Además, también arrojan luz sobre las percepciones que cada grupo tiene de los recursos y su utilización, así como de aspectos actitudinales que también inciden en el proceso enseñanza-aprendizaje.

Copying others can greatly improve individual fitness and is fundamental for the organisation of societies. Yet in some situations it is better to ignore social information and either explore the world individually or use personal information obtained through prior experience. Insects provide excellent models to study the strategic use of social information, but insights from recent research have rarely been viewed in the light of social learning strategies. Here we discuss how insects tailor their reliance on social information to those circumstances for which it is most beneficial, and suggest that insects and vertebrates use similar information-use strategies. We highlight future research avenues, including the use of molecular tools to study the genetic and genomic basis of social information use.

This study aimed to use the plantar pressure insole for estimating the three-dimensional ground reaction force (GRF) as well as the frictional torque (T(F)) during walking. Eleven subjects, six healthy and five patients with ankle disease participated in the study while wearing pressure insoles during several walking trials on a force-plate. The plantar pressure distribution was analyzed and 10 principal components of 24 regional pressure values with the stance time percentage (STP) were considered for GRF and T(F) estimation. Both linear and non-linear approximators were used for estimating the GRF and T(F) based on two learning strategies using intra-subject and inter-subjects data. The RMS error and the correlation coefficient between the approximators and the actual patterns obtained from force-plate were calculated. Our results showed better performance for non-linear approximation especially when the STP was considered as input. The least errors were observed for vertical force (4%) and anterior-posterior force (7.3%), while the medial-lateral force (11.3%) and frictional torque (14.7%) had higher errors. The result obtained for the patients showed higher error; nevertheless, when the data of the same patient were used for learning, the results were improved and in general slight differences with healthy subjects were observed. In conclusion, this study showed that ambulatory pressure insole with data normalization, an optimal choice of inputs and a well-trained nonlinear mapping function can estimate efficiently the three-dimensional ground reaction force and frictional torque in consecutive gait cycle without requiring a force-plate.

Aquest estudi consisteix en l’anàlisi de les practiques educatives que porta a terme una escola pública d’Educació Infantil i Primària, en relació a les estratègies d’ensenyament i aprenentatge de les ciències. Per aquest motiu, es presenta què proposa actualment la recerca educativa sobre l’ensenyament i aprenentatge de les ciències, la qual emfatitza en la necessitat de situar l’infant en el centre del seu procés educatiu, partint del seu coneixement intuïtiu, per tal que pensi, faci i comuniqui d’una manera similar a la que segueix la comunitat científica. Aquesta manera d’entendre l’educació científica és, segons els estudis actuals, condició sine qua non per a que l’alumne desenvolupi la competència científica, és a dir, aprengui ciència, aprenent com funciona la ciència i aprenent sobre la ciència. En base a aquesta teoria, s’han portat a terme observacions directes a diferents cursos, les quals s’han recollit en un diari d’observacions, per tractar d’analitzar com el centre escolar desenvolupa la pràctica educativa de les ciències en el seu dia a dia.

The purpose of this article is to treat a currently much debated issue, the effects of age on second language learning. To do so, we contrast data collected by our research team from over one thousand seven hundred young and adult learners with four popular beliefs or generalizations, which, while deeply rooted in this society, are not always corroborated by our data.Two of these generalizations about Second Language Acquisition (languages spoken in the social context) seem to be widely accepted: a) older children, adolescents and adults are quicker and more efficient at the first stages of learning than are younger learners; b) in a natural context children with an early start are more liable to attain higher levels of proficiency. However, in the context of Foreign Language Acquisition, the context in which we collect the data, this second generalization is difficult to verify due to the low number of instructional hours (a maximum of some 800 hours) and the lower levels of language exposure time provided. The design of our research project has allowed us to study differences observed with respect to the age of onset (ranging from 2 to 18+), but in this article we focus on students who began English instruction at the age of 8 (LOGSE Educational System) and those who began at the age of 11 (EGB). We have collected data from both groups after a period of 200 (Time 1) and 416 instructional hours (Time 2), and we are currently collecting data after a period of 726 instructional hours (Time 3). We have designed and administered a variety of tests: tests on English production and reception, both oral and written, and within both academic and communicative oriented approaches, on the learners' L1 (Spanish and Catalan), as well as a questionnaire eliciting personal and sociolinguistic information. The questions we address and the relevant empirical evidence are as follows: 1. "For young children, learning languages is a game. They enjoy it more than adults."Our data demonstrate that the situation is not quite so. Firstly, both at the levels of Primary and Secondary education (ranging from 70.5% in 11-year-olds to 89% in 14-year-olds) students have a positive attitude towards learning English. Secondly, there is a difference between the two groups with respect to the factors they cite as responsible for their motivation to learn English: the younger students cite intrinsic factors, such as the games they play, the methodology used and the teacher, whereas the older students cite extrinsic factors, such as the role of their knowledge of English in the achievement of their future professional goals. 2 ."Young children have more resources to learn languages." Here our data suggest just the opposite. The ability to employ learning strategies (actions or steps used) increases with age. Older learners' strategies are more varied and cognitively more complex. In contrast, younger learners depend more on their interlocutor and external resources and therefore have a lower level of autonomy in their learning. 3. "Young children don't talk much but understand a lot"This third generalization does seem to be confirmed, at least to a certain extent, by our data in relation to the analysis of differences due to the age factor and productive use of the target language. As seen above, the comparably slower progress of the younger learners is confirmed. Our analysis of interpersonal receptive abilities demonstrates as well the advantage of the older learners. Nevertheless, with respect to passive receptive activities (for example, simple recognition of words or sentences) no great differences are observed. Statistical analyses suggest that in this test, in contrast to the others analyzed, the dominance of the subjects' L1s (reflecting a cognitive capacity that grows with age) has no significant influence on the learning process. 4. "The sooner they begin, the better their results will be in written language"This is not either completely confirmed in our research. First of all, we perceive that certain compensatory strategies disappear only with age, but not with the number of instructional hours. Secondly, given an identical number of instructional hours, the older subjects obtain better results. With respect to our analysis of data from subjects of the same age (12 years old) but with a different number of instructional hours (200 and 416 respectively, as they began at the ages of 11 and 8), we observe that those who began earlier excel only in the area of lexical fluency. In conclusion, the superior rate of older learners appears to be due to their higher level of cognitive development, a factor which allows them to benefit more from formal or explicit instruction in the school context. Younger learners, however, do not benefit from the quantity and quality of linguistic exposure typical of a natural acquisition context in which they would be allowed to make use of implicit learning abilities. It seems clear, then, that the initiative in this country to begin foreign language instruction earlier will have positive effects only if it occurs in combination with either higher levels of exposure time to the foreign language, or, alternatively, with its use as the language of instruction in other areas of the curriculum.

Según el art. 1.a de la LOGSE, el sistema educativo se orientará al pleno desarrollo de la personalidad del alumnado. Esto implica atender no solamente al desarrollo cognitivo,sobre el cual hay un énfasis claramente predominante, sino también al desarrollo emocional que lo debe complementar. De las dificultades emocionales pueden derivarse estados de ansiedad, estrés, depresión, consumo de drogas, violencia, conducción temeraria, trastornos de la alimentación, fobia escolar, indisciplina, etc. Diversos trabajos recientes han puesto de manifiesto como el analfabetismo emocional tiene unos efectos altamente negativos sobre las personas y sobre la sociedad (Goleman, 1995). De hecho la mayoría de bajas laborales son debidas a causas relacionadas con las emociones (ansiedad, estrés, depresión); por esta misma causa los medicamentos más consumidos son tranquilizantes, ansiolíticos y antidepresivos, con un elevado coste en la seguridad social. La respuesta educativa a esta necesidad social puede ser la educación emocional.

L"adaptació al nou espai europeu d"educació superior (EEES) ha plantejat alguns canvis en l"enfocament de la formació universitària al nostre país. On abans era el docent el protagonista, ara és l"estudiant el que pren el rol d"actor principal de la seva formació, i l"aprenentatge s"orienta cap a una autonomia i reflexió més grans. En aquest escenari, les noves tecnologies ofereixen un ampli ventall d"opcions per millorar els processos formatius. En aquests sentit, el Grup d"Innovació Docent G IDEA ha participat activament en aquest procés d"adaptació des de ja fa uns quants anys, i ha creat una sèrie de recursos docents digitals que han estat àmpliament provats en diversos ensenyaments de la Facultat d"Economia i Empresa de la Universitat de Barcelona. L"objectiu d"aquest article és presentar el protocol dissenyat per l"equip d"investigadors del G IDEA per implantar aquestes eines didàctiques (webquestes i exercicis tutoritzats), i també els resultats d"una enquesta de satisfacció sobre les competències i habilitats adquirides pels nostres estudiants en la utilització dels recursos. Els resultats mostren, d"una banda, que no ha estat possible crear un mateix protocol aplicable a tots els recursos, a causa de les diferències en els objectius didàctics de les distintes eines docents implantades. D"altra banda, la valoració que els estudiants fan de la utilització de les eines és molt positiva, tot i que hi ha algunes diferències entre els recursos analitzats. Conèixer la valoració que l"alumnat fa d"aquests recursos permet al grup d"investigadors poder-los millorar i adequar al perfil dels estudiants perquè aquests en puguin treure el màxim profit possible.

El objetivo del presente trabajo es presentar la propuesta de desarrollo de la materia Proyectos del Grado de Comunicación Audiovisual de la Universidad de Barcelona, que incluye las asignaturas Proyectos I y Proyectos II. Ambas asignaturas son especialmente idóneas para trabajar las competencias transversales del grado, dado que el objetivo de la materia a la que pertenecen es integrar las competencias adquiridas en el conjunto de asignaturas cursadas por los alumnos hasta este momento, poniendo en relación los diferente lenguajes (escrito, oral, audiovisual y multimedia). Todo esto permite que el estudiante adquiera una visión integral y transversal. El presente trabajo reflexiona sobre los mecanismos que permitan al profesorado diseñar de forma colaborativa pautas y estrategias de enseñanza-aprendizaje; los modos de evaluación de las competencias de estas asignaturas, y todos aquellos aspectos claves que deben recoger los planes docentes. Materias como la de Proyectos suponen un reto en la actividad docente, al requerir del trabajo interdisciplinar e integrador de las áreas de conocimiento implicadas y de los docentes vinculados, al tiempo que facilitan la generación de puentes entre el ámbito académico y profesional.

La enseñanza basada en las competencias es más compleja que la aplicación de saberes y la realización de casos prácticos específicos, siendo necesaria la ejecución de operaciones mentales abstractas que permitan consolidar los conocimientos, las habilidades y las actitudes necesarias para demostrar el ser competente. Algunas de las competencias transversales que orientan el diseño de la formación y la evaluación en el Grado en Enfermería son las que hacen referencia al razonamiento y a la capacidad reflexiva previa a la toma de decisiones. Para que el estudiante aprenda este proceso debe, en primer lugar, saber identificar las operaciones mentales implicadas, así como representarlas o expresarlas de forma manuscrita y esquematizada. De este modo, va integrando la estrategia de razonamiento más idónea en cada caso. La asignatura de"Resolución de casos desde un enfoque enfermero" del Departamento de Enfermería Fundamental y Médico-quirúrgica de la Universidad de Barcelona nace con la intención de dar respuesta a esa necesidad, enseñando el marco teórico de estrategias de pensamiento crítico para resolver casos clínicos de forma más efectiva y completa.
