Book El aprendizaje basado en proyectos  los videojuegos y el entendimiento de ciencia  tecnolog  a y sociedad

Download or read book El aprendizaje basado en proyectos los videojuegos y el entendimiento de ciencia tecnolog a y sociedad written by Daniel E. Vázquez Alvarado and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 317 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "La educación ha sido objeto de estudio a lo largo de los años, muchos de los cuales se enfocan en entender cómo evoluciona la educación para armonizar con la realidad social del momento. Por otra parte, la educación ha estado ligada siempre a las transformaciones sociales que demandan el desarrollo de nuevas visiones y tendencias educativas, así como de noveles enfoques, modelos y estrategias de enseñanza. Sin embargo, a pesar de estas propuestas educativas y la necesidad de éstas, autores como Gutiérrez y Tyner (2012), mencionan que los cambios en el campo educativo no marchan al ritmo de los cambios sociales, es decir, capacitan a los estudiantes para desarrollarse como personas y ciudadanos en una sociedad que ya no existe. La enseñanza de la ciencia no está exenta de estos aspectos que señalamos. De hecho, algunos estudios documentan que los estudiantes conocen muy poco sobre cómo las actividades científicas se relacionan con las actividades humanas, así como las repercusiones que tienen estas actividades sobre nuestra sociedad y viceversa. Por esta razón el propósito de este estudio fue desarrollar una unidad curricular que utilizó el modelo de Aprendizaje Basado en Proyecto (ABPr) para fomentar en los estudiantes el entendimiento de la relación entre el conocimiento científico y el desarrollo tecnológico, así como sus implicaciones sociales. De igual forma, integró los videojuegos para facilitar el proceso de enseñanza y aprendizaje para promover el entendimiento de la relación entre Ciencia, Tecnología y Sociedad (CTS). Para lograr los objetivos de este estudio se utilizó una metodología cualitativa y se adoptó el diseño de investigación en acción de Stringer (2014). Como parte del proceso de recopilación de datos se utilizaron como técnicas grupos focales, entrevista, análisis de documentos y observaciones participativas. La unidad desarrollada implementó en un curso de ciencias ambientales del nivel secundario bajo el tema de la Sustentabilidad y participaron 18 estudiantes y un docente. Luego de analizar los datos se concluye que el proceso de implementación de la unidad curricular representó una oportunidad para ofrecer una experiencia educativa sobre situación social real. Los hallazgos del estudio evidenciaron que el modelo ABPr fomentó entre los estudiantes el entendimiento, tanto del contenido académico como de la relación entre CTS. Asimismo, el modelo, mediante el proceso de investigación que promueve, facilitó que los estudiantes alcanzaran una mejor comprensión de cómo opera la ciencia y se afecta por asuntos sociales. Finalmente, los videojuegos, como herramienta tecnológica facilitaron el proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje en el aula"--pages iv-v.

Book Teaching Tech Together

Download or read book Teaching Tech Together written by Greg Wilson and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2019-10-08 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hundreds of grassroots groups have sprung up around the world to teach programming, web design, robotics, and other skills outside traditional classrooms. These groups exist so that people don't have to learn these things on their own, but ironically, their founders and instructors are often teaching themselves how to teach. There's a better way. This book presents evidence-based practices that will help you create and deliver lessons that work and build a teaching community around them. Topics include the differences between different kinds of learners, diagnosing and correcting misunderstandings, teaching as a performance art, what motivates and demotivates adult learners, how to be a good ally, fostering a healthy community, getting the word out, and building alliances with like-minded groups. The book includes over a hundred exercises that can be done individually or in groups, over 350 references, and a glossary to help you navigate educational jargon.

Book University and School Collaborations During a Pandemic

Download or read book University and School Collaborations During a Pandemic written by Fernando M. Reimers and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on twenty case studies of universities worldwide, and on a survey administered to leaders in 101 universities, this open access book shows that, amidst the significant challenges caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, universities found ways to engage with schools to support them in sustaining educational opportunity. In doing so, they generated considerable innovation, which reinforced the integration of the research and outreach functions of the university. The evidence suggests that universities are indeed open systems, in interaction with their environment, able to discover changes that can influence them and to change in response to those changes. They are also able, in the success of their efforts to mitigate the educational impact of the pandemic, to create better futures, as the result of the innovations they can generate. This challenges the view of universities as "ivory towers" being isolated from the surrounding environment and detached from local problems. As they reached out to schools, universities not only generated clear and valuable innovations to sustain educational opportunity and to improve it, this process also contributed to transform internal university processes in ways that enhanced their own ability to deliver on the third mission of outreach

This book was planned with diversity in mind: diverse authors from all corners of the world presenting various fields of expertise; diverse target populations and students in elementary schools, college students or military personnel in training, as well as many other student bodies. The diversity of this book reflects the complexity and variety found in the field itself, as well as purposely designed to help the reader find their point of interest.

Book Digital Culture

Download or read book Digital Culture written by Charlie Gere and published by Reaktion Books. This book was released on 2009-01-15 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From our bank accounts to supermarket checkouts to the movies we watch, strings of ones and zeroes suffuse our world. Digital technology has defined modern society in numerous ways, and the vibrant digital culture that has now resulted is the subject of Charlie Gere’s engaging volume. In this revised and expanded second edition, taking account of new developments such as Facebook and the iPhone, Charlie Gere charts in detail the history of digital culture, as marked by responses to digital technology in art, music, design, film, literature and other areas. After tracing the historical development of digital culture, Gere argues that it is actually neither radically new nor technologically driven: digital culture has its roots in the eighteenth century and the digital mediascape we swim in today was originally inspired by informational needs arising from industrial capitalism, contemporary warfare and counter-cultural experimentation, among other social changes. A timely and cutting-edge investigation of our contemporary social infrastructures, Digital Culture is essential reading for all those concerned about the ever-changing future of our Digital Age. “This is an excellent book. It gives an almost complete overview of the main trends and view of what is generally called digital culture through the whole post-war period, as well as a thorough exposition of the history of the computer and its predecessors and the origins of the modern division of labor.”—Journal of Visual Culture

Many ongoing projects worldwide aim to address different needs and objectives, in varying contexts, with outstanding results and impact. Benchmarking Water Services provides valuable information to everyone interested in benchmarking in the water industry. The text is aimed at utilities considering joining a benchmarking project, experienced practitioners in charge of organizing a benchmarking exercise, consultants, regulators and researchers. The document is presented with a clear practice oriented approach and can be used as a how-to-benchmark guide presented from different perspectives (participants, organizers, supervising bodies). Readers will gain practical insight on real life benchmarking practices and will benefit from the experiences gained in some of the leading benchmarking projects of the water industry (including the IWA-WSAA benchmarking efforts, the European Benchmarking Co-operation and the several benchmarking projects carried out in Austria and Central Europe). The manual also presents the new IWA Benchmarking Framework, which aims to harmonize the terms used to describe benchmarking and performance indicators practices in the water industry, guaranteeing a more fluent and efficient communication. This Manual of Best Practice is edited by the IWA Specialist Group on Benchmarking and Performance Assessment, and co-published by AWWA and IWA Publishing. Praise for Benchmarking Water Services: "The continual trend of conceptual to specifics throughout the book provides for an educational experience each time the book is either casually perused or carefully studied." "The authors (Cabrera, Haskins and Fritiz) diligently pursue the focus of improvement."
