This book was released on 2014-05-14 with total page 25 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: En el momento actual nos encontramos en una situación de importantes cambios, tanto en lo que respecta al modelo de Espacio Europeo de Educación Superior, que está suponiendo el replanteamiento de los modelos y estrategias docentes empleados hasta la fecha, como en lo relativo a la implantación, en el último ciclo de Educación Primaria y primer ciclo de Educación Secundaria, del Programa Escuela 2.0, por parte del gobierno español. Ambos hechos implican un cambio de cultura que concierne tanto al docente como a los estudiantes y a la propias instituciones como tales. La Escuela 2.0 supone, por ejemplo, explorar nuevos enfoques metodológicos y herramientas que pueden emplearse con fines didácticos, como son las webs sociales, el trabajo colaborativo a través de wikis, sistemas de gestión de cursos, el uso educativo de blogs, etc. Estos nuevos contextos exigen, entre otros aspectos: 1. La necesidad de trabajo colaborativo entre los docentes, de modo que los profesores participen en proyectos de innovación formando redes de profesores innovadores, compañeros del propio centro que colaboran para llevar a cabo propuestas novedosas en cuanto a la organización de las asignaturas, coordinación de las mismas, implementación de nuevas metodologías didácticas, colaboración entre alumnos, etc. 2. La incorporación de las nuevas tecnologías en los procesos de enseñanza y aprendizaje. La posesión de competencias tecnológicas para el desempeño profesional es una demanda social que debe ser atendida en el proceso de formación inicial de los titulados. Por ello las nuevas tecnologías se han de utilizar como un recurso docente que posibilite una mejor adaptación a los diferentes tipos de alumnos y a sus diversas situaciones académicas; y al mismo tiempo una exigencia para los estudiantes, que han de saber hacer uso de los mismos en su desempeño pre-profesional. De igual modo, no ha de olvidarse las posibilidades que ofrecen para la colaboración entre colegas y la comunicación entre los profesores y alumnos en nuevos escenarios de carácter virtual. Consideramos, por una parte, que los cambios anteriormente citados son lo suficientemente trascendentales como para generar espacios de reflexión sobre cuáles pueden ser las metodologías de aprendizaje más apropiadas en esos nuevos contextos educativos universitarios y no universitarios. Metodologías que apoyándose en la integración de las TIC (OECD, 2009): • Promuevan las relaciones entre los alumnos. • Aumenten su motivación y autoestima. • Desarrollen habilidades interpersonales y estrategias para resolver conflictos. • Promuevan el respeto, la tolerancia, la flexibilidad y la apertura hacia los demás • Enseñen a compartir responsabilidades, a organizarse y dividir tareas. • Brinden un espacio para superar las dificultades que se puedan tener en un ambiente de confianza y compañerismo. En definitiva, que promuevan un aprendizaje colaborativo, no sólo a nivel de alumnado, sino también entre los profesores, los cuales, como señalan algunos autores, “no están acostumbrados a trabajar en equipo ni a compartir sus preocupaciones” (Ortiz Oría, 1991,51). Por otra parte, la puesta en práctica tanto del Espacio Europeo de Educación Superior, como del Programa Escuela 2.0, demanda una formación específica de los docentes desde la que puedan explorar nuevos enfoques metodológicos de gran proyección para la innovación educativa. Las metodologías de aprendizaje colaborativo a través de las TIC no son aún muy frecuentes, ni en el ámbito escolar, ni en el universitario, pero allí donde se está trabajando con este tipo de enfoque metodológico, los resultados son positivos, se mejora el clima de trabajo en el aula, las actitudes de los estudiantes y su grado de motivación, así como su rendimiento escolar. Por todo lo que acabamos de comentar, el presente trabajo constituye la recopilación de una serie de reflexiones e iniciativas de gran trascendencia. Ofrecer a los docentes y a otros profesionales de la educación diversas perspectivas teóricas en torno al aprendizaje colaborativo y cómo ponerlo en práctica en un contexto metodológico concreto mediado por el uso de las TIC; así como presentarles experiencias pioneras de uso de este aprendizaje en procesos educativos; o compartir las propias iniciativas que al respecto puedan estar desarrollando los propios docentes, son finalidades que dan sentido a la presente publicación. Para organizar mejor la misma y que el lector pueda, si así lo desea, realizar una lectura más selectiva de aquellas reflexiones y/o experiencias que le puedan interesar, hemos organizado las distintas contribuciones en seis apartados: 1. La concepción del aprendizaje colaborativo 2. Las distintas metodologías de aprendizaje colaborativo 3. El aprendizaje colaborativo como estrategia metodológica para el desarrollo de la innovación educativa 4. Las metodologías de aprendizaje colaborativo mediante el uso de las TIC y sus implicaciones en la mejora del proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje 5. La formación del profesorado para estimular el trabajo colaborativo en los centros educativos mediante el empleo de las TIC 6. Las prácticas profesionales de trabajo colaborativo a través de las TIC en los distintos niveles educativos Esperamos que el futuro lector pueda encontrar respuestas a algunas de las problemáticas actuales en torno al tema y le suscite, además, aquellos interrogantes que le permitan reflexionar y construir nuevos conocimientos desde la práctica.

This book was released on 2015 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Un gran número de las revisiones sistemáticas confirman la efectividad del aprendizaje cooperativo en comparación con otros métodos tradicionales en cuanto al rendimiento y actitudes hacia el aprendizaje siendo escasos los meta-análisis orientados a estudiar los efectos de esta metodología en comparación con el aprendizaje individual en el rendimiento académico de estudiantes universitarios (Johnson and Johnson, 1989; Slavin, 1995; Bowman, 2012).El objetivo general del presente estudio ha sido comprobar estadísticamente si el aprendizaje cooperativo es eficaz como metodología de aprendizaje cuando se compara con el aprendizaje individual en el rendimiento académico de estudiantes universitarios y de ser eficiente, bajo qué condiciones.Se revisaron un total de 11 fuentes primarias y 7 fuentes secundarias bajo los descriptores Cooperative Learning y Collaborative Learning y se codificaron las características de los estudios en variables extrínsecas (años de publicación, tipos de documento, lugar de procedencia); ecológicas (áreas de conocimiento, conformación y número de integrantes, duración de la intervención, métodos cooperativos, estructura de recompensa, tarea y puntuación) y metodológicas (asignación, situación basal, efectos del investigador, instrumentos de medida y calidad metodológica). Específicamente, la calidad metodológica se valoró a través una escala, diseñada y validada por 35 expertos (Cronbach igual a 0,941) y dos inter-observadores (Kappa igual a 0,532).De un total de 3744 estudios registrados se encontraron 2536, de los cuales 2446 han sido excluidos y solo 90 han cumplido con los criterios de inclusión que reportan a la vez 119 resultados en donde han participado 8114 estudiantes universitarios. La magnitud del efecto global sobre el rendimiento académico en estudiantes universitarios, ha sido estadísticamente significativa y positiva a favor del aprendizaje cooperativo frente al aprendizaje individual,con un tamaño moderado en el modelo de efectos fijos(d 0,56)y una heterogeneidad del 73por cientoLos efectos grandes se evidenciaron en asignaturas de Estadística, Química, Enfermería y Física, con los métodos cooperativos Jigsaw I, Jigsaw II y Group Investigation que requieren de una especialización de la tarea y en estudios publicados entre los años 2010-2012 y, los efectos moderados en áreas de conocimiento como Ciencias en asignaturas de Estadística, Física, Matemáticas, Química e Informática; en Educación y en Ciencias de la Salud específicamente en Enfermería, con métodos que se apoyan en el uso de la tecnología Computer Support en donde no se ofrecen recompensas o gratificaciones al grupo (Jigsaw I y Group Investigation) y las calificaciones son diferentes para cada integrante del equipo (Learning Together, Jigsaw I y Group Investigation); en programas con una duración entre 1 y 4 semanas y con grupos heterogéneos (4-6 miembros).Por áreas de conocimiento, las condiciones mas eficientes en Ciencias son aquellas en donde se emplearon los métodos cooperativos combinados para la enseñanza de la Física y la Tecnología (informática), la tecnología Computer Support para impartir asignaturas de Tecnología (informática), Química, Estadística y Matemáticas y los métodos Cooperative Investigation que incluyen a Group Investigation y Jigsaw I para la enseñanza de la Química mientras que en Ciencias Sociales, específicamente para la asignatura de Psicología los métodos que se agruparon bajo la categoría Dyadic Methods (Reciprocal Peer Tutoring y Think Pair Share) y en Humanidades y Artes aquellos que se apoyaron en la tecnología Computer Support para las asignaturas relacionadas con la Lingüística (Cooperative Computer Assisted Language Learning y E-Learning with Cooperative Learning).En definitiva, cuando de innovación educativa se trata, las metodologías de enseñanza son el eje fundamental para el cambio, un cambio que se debe sustentar sobre la base de una Investigación Educativa fundada en la Evidencia.

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.

Download or read book Engaging People in Sustainability written by Daniella Tilbury and published by IUCN. This book was released on 2004 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book is based on the exchange of professional experiences which featured in an IUCN CEC workshop in August 2002. Practitioners from around the world shared their models of good practice and explored the challenges involved in engaging people in sustainability. The difficulties facing practitioners vary between country and context but some challenges are universal: A lack of clarity in communicating what is meant by sustainable development; An ambition to educate everyone to bring about a global citizenship; Social, organisational or institutional factors constrain change to sustainable development, yet there is an emphasis on formal education, and community educators do not receive the same support; A lack of balance in addressing the integration of environmental, social and economic dimensions leading to an interpretation that ESD is mainly about environment and conservation issues; New learning (rather than teaching) approaches are called for to promote more debate in society. Yet, few are trained or experienced in these new approaches. Practitioners need support to explore new ways of promoting learning. [Foreword, ed].

This book was released on 2007-09-26 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cooperative learning is widely endorsed as a pedagogical practice that promotes student learning. Recently, the research focus has moved to the role of teachers’ discourse during cooperative learning and its effects on the quality of group discussions and the learning achieved. However, although the benefits of cooperative learning are well documented, implementing this pedagogical practice in classrooms is a challenge that many teachers have difficulties accomplishing. Difficulties may occur because teachers often do not have a clear understanding of the basic tenets of cooperative learning and the research and theoretical perspectives that have informed this practice and how they translate into practical applications that can be used in their classrooms. In effect, what do teachers need to do to affect the benefits widely documented in research? A reluctance to embrace cooperative learning may also be due to the challenge it poses to teachers’ control of the learning process, the demands it places on classroom organisational changes, and the personal commitments teachers need to make to sustain their efforts. Moreover, a lack of understanding of the key role teachers need to play in embedding cooperative learning into the curricula to foster open communication and engagement among teachers and students, promote cooperative investigation and problem-solving, and provide students with emotionally and intellectually stimulating learning environments may be another contributing factor. The Teacher's Role in Implementing Cooperative Learning in the Classroom provides readers with a comprehensive overview of these issues with clear guidelines on how teachers can embed cooperative learning into their classroom curricula to obtain the benefits widely attributed to this pedagogical practice. It does so by using language that is appropriate for both novice and experienced educators. The volume provides: an overview of the major research and theoretical perspectives that underpin the development of cooperative learning pedagogy; outlines how specific small group experiences can promote thinking and learning; discusses the key role teachers play in promoting student discourse; and, demonstrates how interaction style among students and teachers is crucial in facilitating discussion and learning. The collection of chapters includes many practical illustrations, drawn from the contributors’ own research of how teachers can use cooperative learning pedagogy to facilitate thinking and learning among students across different educational settings.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A gifted education Legacy Award winner, Best Practices in Gifted Education provides concise, up-to-date, research-based advice to educators, administrators, and parents of gifted and talented youth. The 29 practices included in this volume are the result of an extensive examination of educational research on what works with talented youth. The interest in culturally diverse and low-income learners, the means to identify talents, and the need for curriculum that appropriately challenges high-ability youth constitute just a few of the 29 practices. Each practice is organized into a chapter containing two sections: What We Know and What We Can Do. The first section briefly describes the practice and summarizes the research. The second section suggests what course of action a parent, teacher, or administrator might take at home, in the classroom, or at school. The book is a must-have for those who want a guide that makes a connection between research and practical action in gifted education. A service publication of the National Association for Gifted Children (Washington, DC). This designation indicates that this book has been jointly developed with NAGC and that this book passes the highest standards of scholarship, research, and practice.

Download or read book Effective Peer Learning written by Keith Topping and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2017-03-31 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Peer learning allows a positive use of differences between pupils, turning them into learning opportunities. Yet education professionals often remain unfamiliar with the principles necessary to guarantee its effectiveness. The aim of this book is to help practitioners establish well-structured and effective peer learning projects using a variety of methods. It introduces and defines cooperative learning (mutual peer interaction) and peer tutoring (directional peer interaction) – outlining general organisational principles that will help practitioners implement peer learning in either of these forms. The authors consider how to prepare and train learners to undertake their roles effectively, and how to organise and monitor the process of interaction as it is happening. They then look at how these systems actually operate in the classroom, exploring how the organisational principles work in practice and giving many practical examples. Subsequently three successive chapters consider how to structure peer interactions in cooperative learning, same-age peer tutoring and cross-age peer tutoring. Finally, the advantages and problems, and the potential and challenges, of peer learning are examined. The book should be read in stages, with each part being able to be read on its own – thus providing time for reflection. Within each part, readers can choose to focus on cooperative learning or peer tutoring. The successive focuses on definitions, general principles of implementation and practical issues of implementation should help practitioners build their skills and confidence. Many choices between methods are described, and when teachers are confident in one method they may then consider trying a new method. It is the authors' hope that the book will become a model for peer learning by sharing with readers the skills of other practitioners, and thereby helping all children to develop to their full potential.
