Training experience of international expansion: perceptions of college students

Las diferentes demandas sociales, económicas, culturales y laborales nos obligan a buscar nuevos procesos formativos y reflexionar sobre aspectos metodológicos y laborales. En este sentido, presentamos la experiencia de dos universidades situadas en el marco europeo que tienen la intención de identificar los comportamientos de los estudiantes universitarios cuando trabajan en un aprendizaje colaborativo en línea. A este propósito queremos añadir otros que forman parte del proyecto de investigación que une a estas dos universidades tales como, crear sinergias, desarrollar competencias para la participación y el empoderamiento, así como dar respuesta a algunos de los retos que se están planteando en la comunidad internacional como son las “Word class universtiy project” (Jand, D & Kim, L, 2012). Buscamos sintonizar con otras propuestas internacionales que tienen puestas su mirada en la sociedad del futuro como el Proyecto Horizont (2012), la búsqueda del aprendizaje transformacional y las pedagogías emergentes, tener en cuenta la sociotecnología educativa. En esta línea de investigación hemos situado nuestro estudio relacionándolo directamente con el ámbito de las organizaciones educativas. Aspectos como las relaciones entre el liderazgo distributivo y la satisfacción laboral, el compromiso en la reorganización, la identificación de las herramientas que nos proporcionen el desarrollo virtual para potenciar el talento de las organizaciones , así como, el estudio de la calidad de los recursos educativos mediante la evaluación institucional entendida como una práctica política y ética. Propósitos: 1- Identificar los comportamientos de los estudiantes cuando trabajan en un aprendizaje colaborativo en línea. 2- Diseño de un proyecto didáctico adecuado y compartido que nos permita identificar otra forma de intercambiar información e interactuar con múltiples formatos y sin limitaciones temporales ni espaciales. 3- Ecosistema Formativo. El estudio se realiza con dos grupos de estudiantes universitarios de quinto curso de la titulación de Pedagogía en la Universidad de Sevilla y el quinto curso de la Universidad Mar del Plata. El grupo de profesorado que coordina esta experiencia internacional pertenece a la Universidad de Reims y a la Universidad de Roma3. De esta forma, queremos contribuir a las políticas de cooperación internacional (EUI, 2011). El primer intercambio de información fue sobre el contexto universitario y las características de las disciplinas que iban a participar en la experiencia. Se diseño un grupo en Facebook denominado COMPETEP de carácter privado. Nuestra distribución (peer o peer) tenía la siguiente configuración trece grupos de trabajo con sus homónimos. Trece grupos secretos compuesto por los siguientes roles organizativos: coordinador, analista y documentalista. El intercambio de conocimientos implica la comprensión del contenido compartido para la conveniencia de su incorporación al proyecto. Así, durante el debate, el conocimiento meta-cognitivo y el proceso cognitivo de la "comprensión" se espera que sean las dimensiones dominantes. Por ejemplo, en este estudio, cuando un estudiante recopila y comparte información en Facebook con los miembros del grupo, él tiene que primero entender el contenido de la información. Este comportamiento implica procesos cognitivos, tales como interpretación, clasificación y comparación de la información, todos los cuales se clasifican en el nivel de comprensión de la RBT (Anderson & Krathwohl, 2001)

In virtual coordinates: an interdisciplinary experience between institutions of higher education

El propósito del presente trabajo consiste en analizar, desde un paradigma crítico-propositivo, las percepciones de los estudiantes que participaron en una experiencia innovadora de carácter intercultural e interdisciplinario entre la Universidad Nacional de Mar del Plata (Argentina) y la Universidad de Sevilla (España), durante el ciclo lectivo 2012 y bajo la modalidad de grupos de trabajo cooperativos. La experiencia se centra en el desarrollo de competencias personales y participativas para la organización de grupos en Argentina con grupos espejo en España a fin de consensuar criterios, desarrollar tareas de carácter cooperativo y colaborativo y aunar aportes disciplinares a partir de diferentes pautas culturales e intereses. Los resultados evidencian la importancia de las Tecnologías de la Información y Comunicación (TIC) como soporte para el logro de objetivos más altos y demuestran que su aprendizaje -a pesar de estar subordinado al desarrollo de otras competencias- interesa al estudiante más allá de la aprobación de un requisito curricular, por el alcance en el desarrollo de su capital social y culturalThe purpose of this paper is to analyse, from a critical paradigm-purposing, the perceptions of the students who participated in an innovative intercultural and interdisciplinary experience between the National University of Mar del Plata (Argentina) and the University of Sevilla (Spain) during the 2012 school year and in the form of cooperative work groups The experience focuses on the development of personal and participatory skills for organizing groups in Argentina with mirror groups in Spain to agree on criteria, develop cooperative and collaborative tasks and combine disciplinary contributions from different cultural patterns and interests. The results show the importance of ICT as a support for the achievement of higher goals and demonstrate that their learning - despite being subordinate to the development of other competences- interested students beyond the adoption of a curricular requirement, due to the scope in the development of their social and cultural capital

Improving the Quality of Teaching Internships with the Help of the Platforms

This article presents an empirical study on the perceptions of university students toward the development of the teaching practicum, using the CourseSites platform as a communication and support tool for their training. The opinions of the students were collected through a questionnaire. The sample consisted of 1500 students who were registered in the degrees of Early Childhood Education, Primary Education and Pedagogy (2008-2018). A descriptive, inferential and multi-level analysis was conducted, which confirmed that future teachers had activated their professional competences, as they had the chance to share their internship experiences with their faculty members and with their own classmates

Augmented Reality Applications Attitude Scale (ARAAS): Diagnosing the Attitudes of Future Teachers

The aim of the presented study is to identify the attitudes of future teachers (in pre-service teacher education) toward Augmented Reality (AR) applications. The innovation experience was carried out in the academic year 2016/17. For the collection of data, the Augmented Reality Applications Attitude Scale (ARAAS), by Küçük, Yilmaz, Baydaş & Göktaş (2014), was adapted to the Spanish context. It is a Likert scale grouped into three dimensions that determine the attitudes of future teachers toward the use of AR applications in education, which are Relevance, Satisfaction and Reliability. In order to analyse data, the statistical software SPSS 23.0 was used. The Bartlett test of sphericity and the Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin (KMO) test for sampling adequacy were also conducted. Results of the study led to the following conclusions: the students developed a favourable attitude in their role as future teachers toward the use of AR applications as learning tools, which have also provided deep learning

Perceptions of University Students towards Digital Transformation during the Pandemic

: The aim of this study is to determine the perceptions of university students toward teaching– learning processes during the COVID-19 pandemic. This research gathers inquiries made worldwide on the perceptions of students in higher education during a state of alarm. The proposed objectives were (a) to analyse the perception of students toward teaching–learning processes in university; (b) to determine the assessment given by students about the changes that took place in university teaching as a result of COVID-19; and (c) to explore resources (hardware and software), professional collaboration, digital pedagogy and student empowerment (motivation) regarding digital education and recent changes in university teaching due to the pandemic. This study used a non-experimental, descriptive design based on opinion polls or surveys. The results show a positive correlation between digital pedagogy, student motivation and digital environments. As a conclusion, we encourage the scientific community to continue delving into the motivation, collaboration and reflective exchange of experiences, self-learning and promotion of initiatives that foster the development of competencies in future teachers. It is also important to continue the research on integrated designs in training processes in university, tutoring and continuous evaluation, as they are key for digital transformation in universities

Attention to Diversity from Artificial Intelligence

Artificial intelligence (AI) is influencing various sectors of society, including the educational field. The use of AI can have great potential in education, however, it is necessary to know both its performance and its limitations. The main objective of this study is to analyze the prompts made by teachers in initial training in relation to the topic of specific educational support needs, classifying them according to Bloom's Taxonomy. For this, 63 students from the first year of the Primary Education Degree in the subject Information and Communication Technology applied to Education participated. The results show that the highest frequency of prompts made by students correspond to the highest levels of Bloom's taxonomy (apply and create), which suggests that students are capable of using the knowledge acquired in the subject to create new learning situations with their future students. This confirms that the implementation of this methodology is beneficial for the development of cognitive and pedagogical skills of future teachers.VI Research and Transfer Plan of the University of Seville (VI PPIT-US)IV Plan Propio de Docencia.

Situated learning and education: development and validation of the future teacher attitudes scale in the application of augmented reality in the classroom

This research article focuses on the design and validation of a questionnaire to analyse future teachers' perceptions of professional skills through the use of Augmented Reality (AR) in higher education, specifically for students in the field of Educational Sciences. The sample consisted of 575 students of Early Childhood Education, Primary Education and Pedagogy during the academic year (2021/2022). The focus of this study is to authenticate a questionnaire that measures the influence of Augmented Reality (AR) on aspects such as situated learning, motivation, and the necessary instructional preparations for the successful integration of AR within classroom educational encounters. The questionnaire is an online Likert-type scale developed based on three dimensions: situated learning, motivation and training. The data were analysed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 25 and JASP 0.17.1. The questionnaire met the standards recommended for validation. However, improvements to the instrument are suggested. In conclusion, validation of instruments is necessary to gain a rigorous understanding of the impact of new learning environments
