The digital silver lining of the pandemic: the impact on preservice teachers’ technological knowledge and beliefs
COVID-19 drastically disrupted teaching and learning worldwide and across all educational levels. Technology took on a central role in redefining education under these exceptional circumstances and frequently revealed challenges related to both infrastructure and to teachers’ and learners’ technological skills and readiness. This study aimed to investigate whether the experience of emergency remote education significantly impacted preservice teachers’ knowledge and beliefs for their future teaching with technology. We investigated three cohorts of preservice teachers (pre-lockdown, n = 179; during lockdown, n = 48; post-lockdown, n = 228) and explored differences in their self-reported technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK) and their technological beliefs. Findings showed positive effects in the post-lockdown cohort, reflected in higher levels of technological knowledge (TK) and technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPCK) compared to the pre-lockdown cohort. In addition, unique positive effects on content knowledge (CK) and pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) were found in the post-lockdown cohort among preservice teachers with prior teaching experiences. No effects of either cohort or experience emerged for preservice teachers’ technological beliefs. These findings indicate that, despite the challenges related to COVID-19 lockdowns, preservice teachers not only appear to have maintained positive beliefs towards technology but may have even been able to draw benefits from the experience of lockdown. These findings and the positive effects associated with teaching experience are discussed with regard to their implication for teacher education
Investigating contextual knowledge within TPACK: How has it been done empirically so far?
The technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK) framework traditionally describes seven domains of knowledge which teachers rely on for effectively combining technology, pedagogy and content within their teaching contexts. To date, the context construct has been acknowledged interchangeably as both the settings within which teachers operate as well as teachers’ knowledge of their teaching environments. The need to distinguish between the two has been emphasized by Mishra (2019) by explicitly upgrading context as an eighth domain of knowledge of TPACK. To support future research on contextual knowledge, based on a systematic review of the TPACK literature published between 2005 and 2020, this study offers an overview of the current empirical methods, instruments, and findings surrounding this construct. Findings reveal a range of approaches (i.e., self-report, interviews, artifacts, observations, vignettes, and multimethods) for investigating contextual knowledge and the comparison of these approaches and their related findings are discussed
El instrumento de recolección de datos. Un rol posible en la investigación artÃstica
En las investigaciones tradicionales, es común encontrarnos con entrevistas, encuestas, cuestionarios autoadministrados y test que funcionan relevando datos de una determinada muestra para aportar luz sobre la hipótesis que guÃa el estudio de determinado objeto o fenómeno. Sin embargo, esto no aplica directamente en los proyectos de diseño ¿De qué tipo de adaptaciones nos valemos en relación a una lectura o interpretación de productos de diseño? Este artÃculo presenta una propuesta a esta inquietud, a partir de la experiencia de su aplicación en el aula

El proceso de restauración y la problemática de reinterpretar el arte ajeno
The passage of time and the obsolescence of the supports are today the two elementary factors that invite to submit an artistic piece, in any of its forms, to a process of restoration. With this in mind, there is no doubt about the importance of the safeguarding and subsequent restoration of all heritage: the material and tangible art works; and also the immaterial, sound and audiovisual works that live inside different media storage supports.In this paper, we are going to analize this situation and propose some solutions coming mostly from philosophic thoughts about the context of actual media art.El paso del tiempo y la obsolescencia de los soportes son hoy en dÃa los dos factores elementales que invitan a someter a una pieza artÃstica, en cualquiera de sus formas, a un proceso de restauración. Con esto presente, no quedan dudas de la importancia de la salvaguarda y posterior restauración de todo patrimonio: material, las obras de arte tangibles; e inmaterial, las obras sonoras y audiovisuales que viven dentro de diversos soportes de almacenamiento.En este artÃculo, vamos a analizar esta situación y proponer algunas soluciones que provienen principalmente del pensamiento filosófico acerca del contexto actual de las artes electrónicas
Paisaje sonoro. Contexto y comienzo de un proyecto subterráneo
Todo lo que nos rodea forma parte de un universo sonoro, que estudiado de forma aislada recibe el nombre de paisaje sonoro. Este concepto fue desarrollado por Murray Schafer a fines de la década de los años 60 y comienzos de los 70, dando inicio a una nueva forma de aproximarse al sonido.Este artÃculo aborda los orÃgenes y distintas formas posibles de pensar y tipificar al paisaje sonoro, la llamada antropologÃa sonora y la convergencia entre etnografÃa y música electroacústica, en relación con los primeros resultados de un proyecto de investigación creación que involucra la realización de paisajes sonoros a partir de experiencias de viaje en lÃneas de metros y subterráneos de distintas ciudades
QuintEssence:A Probe Study to Explore the Power of Smell on Emotions, Memories, and Body Image in Daily Life
Previous research has shown the influence of smell on emotions, memories, and body image. However, most of this work has taken place in laboratory settings and little is known about the influence of smell in real-world environments. In this article, we present novel insights gained from a field study investigating the emotional effect of smell on memories and body image. Taking inspiration from the cultural design probes approach, we designed QuintEssence, a probe package that includes three scents and materials to complete three tasks over a period of four weeks. Here, we describe the design of QuintEssence and the main findings based on the outcomes of the three tasks and a final individual interview. The findings show similar results between participants based on the scent. For example, with cinnamon, participants experienced feelings of warmth, coziness, happiness, and relaxation; they recalled blurred memories of past moments about themselves and reported a general feeling of being calm and peaceful towards their bodies. Our findings open up new design spaces for multisensory experiences and inspire future qualitative explorations beyond laboratory boundaries.</p
¿TeorÃa o práctica? Sobre las definiciones que rodean a la investigación - creación
In response to the current problem of rethinking the reality of the academic context in relation to research in the field of art, this article proposes a journey through the different definitions that have shaped what we know today as research-creation, taking into account both its epistemological perspective and its methodological proposals.Atendiendo a la problemática actual de repensar la realidad del contexto académico en relación a la investigación en el terreno del arte, este artÃculo plantea un recorrido por las distintas definiciones que fueron moldeando lo que hoy conocemos como investigación - creación, atendiendo tanto a su perspectiva epistemológica como a sus propuestas metodológicas
