Flipped "Learning": applying the Flipped Learning approach to the teaching of spanish language and literature

El proyecto se ha desarrollado durante el curso académico 2015/2016 en la Facultad de Ciencias de la Educación de la Universidad de Córdoba. Nuestro objetivo fundamental ha consistido en la aplicación del enfoque Flipped Learning (FL) en cuatro asignaturas de los grados de Educación Infantil y Primaria destinadas a la enseñanza de la lengua y la literatura españolas. La propuesta de innovación se ha llevado a cabo en tres fases: planificación, aplicación y una transversal, de difusión, que nos ha permitido dar a conocer las acciones desarrolladas en las etapas anteriores. Con ello, se ha pretendido abordar el proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje, centrado en el desarrollo competencial de los estudiantes, de manera más activa, significativa y motivadora en relación con el modelo tradicional mediante el empleo de diversas herramientas tecnológicas.The project has been developed during the academic year 2015/2016 at the Education Sciences School of the University of Cordoba. Our fundamental aim has been to implement the Flipped Learning (FL) approach in four subjects of Child and Primary Education Degrees regarding the teaching of the Spanish language and literature. The innovation proposal has been carried out in three phases: preparative, application and diffusion; the latter has allowed us to spread the actions developed in the previous stages. Thus we have focused on the students' competential development, which has let us approach the teaching-learning process, in a more active, meaningful and motivating way in relation to the traditional model and through the use of diverse technological tools

Treatment with tocilizumab or corticosteroids for COVID-19 patients with hyperinflammatory state: a multicentre cohort study (SAM-COVID-19)

Objectives: The objective of this study was to estimate the association between tocilizumab or corticosteroids and the risk of intubation or death in patients with coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19) with a hyperinflammatory state according to clinical and laboratory parameters. Methods: A cohort study was performed in 60 Spanish hospitals including 778 patients with COVID-19 and clinical and laboratory data indicative of a hyperinflammatory state. Treatment was mainly with tocilizumab, an intermediate-high dose of corticosteroids (IHDC), a pulse dose of corticosteroids (PDC), combination therapy, or no treatment. Primary outcome was intubation or death; follow-up was 21 days. Propensity score-adjusted estimations using Cox regression (logistic regression if needed) were calculated. Propensity scores were used as confounders, matching variables and for the inverse probability of treatment weights (IPTWs). Results: In all, 88, 117, 78 and 151 patients treated with tocilizumab, IHDC, PDC, and combination therapy, respectively, were compared with 344 untreated patients. The primary endpoint occurred in 10 (11.4%), 27 (23.1%), 12 (15.4%), 40 (25.6%) and 69 (21.1%), respectively. The IPTW-based hazard ratios (odds ratio for combination therapy) for the primary endpoint were 0.32 (95%CI 0.22-0.47; p < 0.001) for tocilizumab, 0.82 (0.71-1.30; p 0.82) for IHDC, 0.61 (0.43-0.86; p 0.006) for PDC, and 1.17 (0.86-1.58; p 0.30) for combination therapy. Other applications of the propensity score provided similar results, but were not significant for PDC. Tocilizumab was also associated with lower hazard of death alone in IPTW analysis (0.07; 0.02-0.17; p < 0.001). Conclusions: Tocilizumab might be useful in COVID-19 patients with a hyperinflammatory state and should be prioritized for randomized trials in this situatio
