Download or read book Entornos virtuales de aprendizaje written by Beatriz Rodríguez Martín and published by Ediciones de la Universidad de Castilla La Mancha. This book was released on 2019-10-09 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Actualmente utilizamos herramientas basadas en web que nos facilitan muchas actividades cotidianas pero, a pesar de esta tendencia social, todavía mostramos cierta resistencia a emplearlas con la misma naturalidad en entornos docentes. Este libro pretende contribuir a este proceso de normalización mostrando el potencial educativo de herramientas web, sobre todo «blogs y wikis», en la creación de entornos virtuales donde se potencie el binomio enseñanza-aprendizaje. Realizaremos por tanto una reflexión en base a experiencias previas que ayudarán al lector a obtener los conocimientos necesarios para trasladar parte de su docencia en el aula a entornos virtuales, proporcionando además ejemplos prácticos que se están realizando en la actualidad y ejercicios de autoevaluación que ayuden al lector a clarificar conceptos.

Book Los entornos virtuales de ense  anza aprendizaje como comunidades de conocimiento y pr  ctica

Download or read book Los entornos virtuales de ense anza aprendizaje como comunidades de conocimiento y pr ctica written by Carmina Angélica Sánchez Pérez and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 1399 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Esta tesis tiene como objetivo el estudio sistemático de una comunidad virtual de aprendizaje; con el fin de caracterizarla como comunidad de conocimiento y práctica; destacando en ella los rasgos emergentes de la nueva cultura digital, que aparecen en su proceso de construcción. El referente empírico, lo constituye la comunidad virtual denominada Escuela Rural Virtual (ERV); integrada por maestros de 5 regiones de España (Cataluña, Galicia, Aragón, Canarias y Cantabria). Maestros de la escuela rural convocados -desde la Universidad de Barcelona- por el proyecto internacional Rural Wings; cuyo objetivo central fue atender las necesidades de aprendizaje de las comunidades rurales, sirviéndose de las comunicaciones vía satélite. Para interactuar entre sí, la ERV utilizó tres sitios web; estos fueron el sitio educativo (Moodle); el sitio archivo (Grupo Google) y el sitio weblog (Blog). Sitios web que en su conjunto he denominado espacio virtual. Mi trabajo se apoya en una estrategia metodológica desarrollada a partir de enfrentarme a un entorno virtual diferente al entorno of line al que, por mi propia formación profesional, estaba acostumbrada. Metodología que trabajé desde la perspectiva teórica de la etnografía virtual y la teoría social del aprendizaje de las comunidades de conocimiento y práctica . Esta estrategia, que me permitió realizar el análisis cualitativo de los datos vertidos en el Grupo Google, estuvo apoyada por una metodología para el análisis cuantitativo que, a su vez, permitió la organización y sistematización de los datos duros del espacio virtual utilizado por la ERV. La novedad de la metodología utilizada en este trabajo, radica en la importancia que tiene la etnografía virtual para contribuir a la investigación cualitativa de las comunidades virtuales desplegadas en diversos contextos educativos -por ejemplo, la enseñanza online, las comunidades virtuales de profesores, etc.- tan importantes en la sociedad digital de nuestros días. Desde mi propia experiencia, la etnografía aplicada a la investigación de los entornos virtuales de aprendizaje, tiene varias ventajas: van desde la incursión del investigador en el terreno de estudio hasta el análisis de datos; pasando por la flexibilidad que ofrece este espacio para trabajar con la información. Otro punto a destacar es que -a diferencia de la investigación tradicional- el Internet ha venido a trastocar los tradicionales referentes de espacio y tiempo; lo cual presenta nuevos retos, pero también nuevas ventajas. En cuanto a los resultados, tenemos que el análisis cualitativo permitió dar cuenta de aspectos tanto antropológicos como pedagógicos. De esta forma se pudo acceder a las características generales del espacio laboral de los maestros; abordar las diferentes dimensiones en la construcción de su identidad (cultural, gremial y virtual); establecer los rasgos que confieren legitimidad a su participación (roles asignados en la comunidad virtual); conocer las formas de trabajo colaborativo; plantear algunos usos que se dieron a las tecnologías (tanto en el aula, como en el intercambio de experiencias); acercarnos a su participación en un proyecto convocado por el Ministerio de Educación y Cultura (MEC); y, finalmente, analizar el impacto que tuvo, para la escuela y la comunidad rural, el participar en un proyecto internacional. Todo los cual nos llevó a conocer qué es y cómo se construye una comunidad virtual de aprendizaje. En cuanto al análisis cuantitativo, gracias a éste se pudieron conocer las características de los sitios web utilizados; así como dar cuenta de la trayectoria de los participantes en relación a su perfil de participación; establecer la tipología de los miembros del grupo y determinar la distribución y el éxito de los mensajes. El seguimiento de este proyecto, nos ofreció la oportunidad de estudiar cómo, la amplia gama de herramientas que hoy en día proporciona Internet, puede ser utilizada por los individuos para reforzar sus valores y ahondar en el conocimiento. Pero sobre todo, este trabajo permitió visualizar la importancia de los maestros de la escuela rural y de la escuela rural misma en el contexto de la dimensión territorial. La comunidad virtual estudiada, nos da una muestra de la capacidad que tiene la escuela rural para aprovechar las tecnologías. La ERV demostró que si al maestro frente a grupo se le da apoyo institucional (en términos de infraestructura); proyectos que los pongan en contacto (no que los aíslen, ni que los pongan a competir unos contra otros); pero sobre todo que se les valore y no se les meta miedo , ellos lo dan todo: son comprometidos, aman a sus alumnos, se involucran con su entorno y con la formación de sus niños. Maestros con estas características impactan, no solo a sus alumnos, sino al resto de la comunidad escolar y de la sociedad en que viven." -- TDX.

Book Big Data in Education  Pedagogy and Research

Download or read book Big Data in Education Pedagogy and Research written by Theodosia Prodromou and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-10-04 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book discusses how Big Data could be implemented in educational settings and research, using empirical data and suggesting both best practices and areas in which to invest future research and development. It also explores: 1) the use of learning analytics to improve learning and teaching; 2) the opportunities and challenges of learning analytics in education. As Big Data becomes a common part of the fabric of our world, education and research are challenged to use this data to improve educational and research systems, and also are tasked with teaching coming generations to deal with Big Data both effectively and ethically. The Big Data era is changing the data landscape for statistical analysis, the ways in which data is captured and presented, and the necessary level of statistical literacy to analyse and interpret data for future decision making. The advent of Big Data accentuates the need to enable citizens to develop statistical skills, thinking and reasoning needed for representing, integrating and exploring complex information. This book offers guidance to researchers who are seeking suitable topics to explore. It presents research into the skills needed by data practitioners (data analysts, data managers, statisticians, and data consumers, academics), and provides insights into the statistical skills, thinking and reasoning needed by educators and researchers in the future to work with Big Data. This book serves as a concise reference for policymakers, who must make critical decisions regarding funding and applications.

Book Art and Intercultural Dialogue

Download or read book Art and Intercultural Dialogue written by Susana Gonçalves and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-03-22 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How can art act as an intercultural mediator for dialogue? In order to scrutinize this question, relevant theoretical ideas are discussed and artistic intervention projects examined so as to highlight its cultural, political, economic, social, and transformational impacts. This thought-provoking work reveals why art is needed to help multicultural neighbourhoods and societies be sustainable, as well as united by diversity. This edited collection underlines the significance of arts and media as a tool of understanding, mediation, and communication across and beyond cultures. The chapters with a variety of conceptual and methodological approaches from particular contexts demonstrate the complexity in the dynamics of (inter)cultural communication, culture, identity, arts, and media. Overall, the collection encourages readers to consider themselves as agents of the communication process promoting dialogue.

Download or read book Centred on Learning written by Edward Oyston and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-12-17 with total page 181 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thie title was first published in 2003. Computer technology and changing student needs have prompted universities to develop modern learning centres offering both virtual and physical learning space fit for all types of study and research. This book demonstrates with detailed case studies how the learning centre model has been introduced at four UK universities with different constraints and priorities: Sheffield Hallam, Leeds Metropolitan, Aberdeen and Lincoln. The authors start by outlining the national higher education context and other internal and external drivers for change, then explaining how these shaped their particular centre's development as they underwent radical change in role, organization, range and nature of service provision - particularly the use of IT in learning and teaching support. Highlighting the differences between the institutions, authors from the four learning centres analyse the implications of changes for staff - in terms of working practices, interdisciplinary skills and internal culture - and how problems were managed. They go on to describe how the needs of all types of students were considered and to what extent, from both student and staff perspectives, they were satisfied. A whole chapter is dedicated to the process of building new partnerships with academic staff and other university service providers - essential for operational convergence and integrated service provision. The following chapter focuses on the development of the physical environment and how the building itself is adapted to modern teaching and learning models. The book ends by outlining the evaluation process and suggested next steps for further improvement. Appendices include sample job descriptions and person specifications. Demands for greater efficiency and responsiveness to student needs have to be met in the context of institutional strategies and priorities. This book offers an insight into four universities' different experiences which will help those at the forefront of such.
