Els beneficis de l’aprenentatge cooperatiu i interdisciplinari: Experiència amb el projecte LÒVA (L’Òpera com a Vehicle d’Aprenentatge)

Treball Final de Grau en Mestre o Mestra d'Educació Primària. Codi: MP1040. Curs acadèmic: 2018/2019En el desenvolupament d'aquest treball es mostra la gran importància que té l'art en la nostra vida i com, mitjançant un projecte anomenat LÒVA (L'Òpera com a Vehicle d'Aprenentatge), es pot potenciar l'aprenentatge a través del procés i mitjançant les experiències que els alumnes obtenen, ja que l'aprenentatge adquirit engloba no solament el desenvolupament cognitiu de l'alumne, sinó també el desenvolupament social i emocional. En el projecte, que es crea amb els alumnes de 4t del CEIP Santa Quitèria, es pretén realitzar una òpera mitjançant un procés que busca crear un ambient de companyia i cooperació entre els alumnes. El projecte també pretén visibilitzar els beneficis de portar a terme el Projecte LÒVA i amb ells els beneficis que aporta l’aprenentatge cooperatiu i interdisciplinari. Amb aquesta investigació-acció i per mitjà de la pròpia experiència amb el projecte, s’observarà el desenvolupament emocional, social i cognitiu de l'alumnat i com els alumnes han millorat la imaginació, el respecte i l'esforç compartit a través d'una guia contínua que realitzen els mestres participants qui proposaren als alumnes convertir-se en una companyia d'òpera; per a produir l'obra des de zero i sense l'ajuda d'adults, permetent així connectar de forma harmònica les competències clau i els objectius educatius de l'aula

“Zombie attack” a new way to teach Chemistry

The Higher Education requires new models which allow training people able to adapt and survive in changing environments. It is based on the use of technologies and the adaptation of knowledge to people. It is about an education according to circumstances, which is adapted to context and virtual behaviour of people. One of the main difficulties that lecturers find in the classroom is how to maintain students' attention and interest in their subject, especially when students also think that the subject is not important for their training. In order to motivate these students, innovation in educational techniques and methodologies, such as experiential learning, are progressively being imposed to and/or coordinated with the traditional ones. Escape Room is a very modern concept in education, based on the development of mental skills for the solution of enigmas and problems. It is a tool to develop the cooperative, cognitive, deductive and logical reasoning skills of the students. In this work, an educational gamification experience based on the escape room concept is presented. The students have 1 hour and 30 minutes to carry out this activity. They will have to solve four puzzles and enigmas that will give them the key to open a treasure chest and finally let them escape from the classroom. Logic, ingenuity and teamwork will allow participants to develop not only chemical competence, but also other basic skills. The story that is told throughout the escape room is a zombie attack: the city has been infected (with a virus) and only the occupants of the room where the activity takes place have not been infected. In addition, they can all protect themselves if they are able to open the chest where the antidote is located. The aim of this activity is to enhance the knowledge acquired throughout the semester as well as the development of skills.Universidad de Málaga. Campus de Excelencia Internacional Andalucía Tec

Applying Constraint Databases in the Determination of Potential Minimal Conflicts to Polynomial Model-Based Diagnosis

Model-based Diagnosis allows the identification of the parts which fail in a system. The models are based on the knowledge of the system to diagnose, and may be represented by constraints associated to the components. The variables of these constraints can be observable or non-observable, depending on the situation of the sensors. In order to obtain the potential minimal diagnosis in a system, an important issue is related to finding out the potential minimal conflicts in an efficient way. We consider that Constraint Databases represent an excellent option in order to solve this problem in complex systems. In this work we have used a novel logical architecture of Constraint Databases which has allowed obtaining these potential conflicts by means of the corresponding queries. Moreover, we have considered Gröbner Bases as a projection operator to obtain the potential minimal conflicts of a system. The first results obtained on this work, which are shown in a heat exchangers example, have been very promising.Ministerio de Ciencia y Tecnología DPI2003-07146-C02-0

Developing a labelled object-relational constraint database architecture for the projection operator

Current relational databases have been developed in order to improve the handling of stored data, however, there are some types of information that have to be analysed for which no suitable tools are available. These new types of data can be represented and treated as constraints, allowing a set of data to be represented through equations, inequations and Boolean combinations of both. To this end, constraint databases were defined and some prototypes were developed. Since there are aspects that can be improved, we propose a new architecture called labelled object-relational constraint database (LORCDB). This provides more expressiveness, since the database is adapted in order to support more types of data, instead of the data having to be adapted to the database. In this paper, the projection operator of SQL is extended so that it works with linear and polynomial constraints and variables of constraints. In order to optimize query evaluation efficiency, some strategies and algorithms have been used to obtain an efficient query plan. Most work on constraint databases uses spatiotemporal data as case studies. However, this paper proposes model-based diagnosis since it is a highly potential research area, and model-based diagnosis permits more complicated queries than spatiotemporal examples. Our architecture permits the queries over constraints to be defined over different sets of variables by using symbolic substitution and elimination of variables.Ministerio de Ciencia y Tecnología DPI2006-15476-C02-0

NMUS: Structural Analysis for Improving the Derivation of All MUSes in Overconstrained Numeric CSPs

Models are used in science and engineering for experimentation, analysis, model-based diagnosis, design and planning/sheduling applications. Many of these models are overconstrained Numeric Constraint Satisfaction Problems (NCSP), where the numeric constraints could have linear or polynomial relations. In practical scenarios, it is very useful to know which parts of the overconstrained NCSP instances cause the unsolvability. Although there are algorithms to find all optimal solutions for this problem, they are computationally expensive, and hence may not be applicable to large and real-world problems. Our objective is to improve the performance of these algorithms for numeric domains using structural analysis. We provide experimental results showing that the use of the different strategies proposed leads to a substantially improved performance and it facilitates the application of solving larger and more realistic problems.Ministerio de Educación y Ciencia DIP2006-15476-C02-0

Cutting: Una forma de entretejer disímiles sentidos de vida

Esta investigación está encaminada a comprender los Sentidos de Vida de un grupo de estudiantes practicantes de cutting de la Institución Educativa Municipal Luis Delfín Insuasty Rodríguez, INEM-Pasto. La unidad de trabajo está constituida por cuatro adolescentes de grado séptimo y octavo; los cuales se encuentran en edades entre los 13 y 14 años, escogidos a partir del muestreo por conveniencia. Metodológicamente, se trabaja bajo el paradigma cualitativo, enfoque hermenéutico, diseño fenomenológico con elementos narrativos. Para la recolección de información se hace uso de la historia de vida y la cartografía del cuerpo. Como resultados preponderantes se encontró que el vacío existencial se vislumbra especialmente a partir de síntomas depresivos. Hay una notable exhibición de valores de creación; seguido de valores de experiencia y actitud; los recursos noéticos se manifiestan de diversa manera, no obstante están restringidos debido a la predominancia de la actividad y pasividad incorrecta. Pese a lo anterior, el cutting no implica la pérdida de los sentidos de vida las participantes

LA “COLONIALIDAD DEL SER” EN LOS DISCURSOS ILUSTRADOS SOBRE EL CUERPO INDÍGENA AMERICANO

El presente artículo tiene como propósito presentar de manera general algunos avances de la recopilación historiográfica sobre los discursos coloniales eurocéntricos que durante el siglo XVIII se construyeron alrededor del cuerpo y los sentidos del indígena americano. Situada en la teoría decolonial, mostraré cómo las ideas europeas sobre el cuerpo y la sensorialidad indígena americana ponen en evidencia lo que el filósofo Nelson Maldonado ha denominado “colonialidad del ser”

Don Quixote’s Irony: Reverse Reading lessons

Este artículo plantea el poder educativo de la imaginación para proponer símbolos que comunican autor y lector. Por ella, los clásicos de la literatura siguen vivos en épocas posteriores a las de su escritura, gracias a la capacidad de los lectores para intimar con el texto y renovarlo creativamente con otras perspectivas e hipertextos nuevos que desencadenan una semiosis infinita. El Quijote es un libro idóneo para estimular lecturas creativas debido a su condición hospitalaria hacia cualquier cultura y generación. La ironía es la retórica nodal del clásico cervantino y provoca "lecciones" de lectura inversa, interpretaciones cuerdas para ejemplos locos. Leyéndolo, se aprende a usar la fantasía no para la creencia en los significados sino para el sentido crítico hacia el mundo de referencia.Cet article présente le pouvoir éducatif de l'imagination pour proposer des symboles qui font communiquer l'auteur et le lecteur. Dû à cela les classiques de la littérature continuent à être présents dans des époques postérieures à celles de leur publication, c’est la capacité des lecteurs, pour intimer avec le texte et le renouveler créativement avec d'autres perspectives et de nouveaux hypertextes, celle qui développe une sémiose infinie. Le Quichotte est un livre idéal pour stimuler des lectures créatives dû à sa condition hospitalière envers toute culture et toute génération L'ironie est la rhétorique nodale du classique cervantesque et provoque des "leçons" de lecture inverse, des interprétations raisonnables pour des exemples fous. En le lisant, on apprend à utiliser la fantaisie, non pour croire à des signifiés, mais pour créer un sens critique envers le monde de référence.This article raises the educational power of imagination in order to propose symbols which communicate author and reader. Thanks to it, classics of Literature keep alive after their writing days, thanks to the readers’ capability to get friendly with the text and renew it creatively with other perspectives and new hypertexts which break out an infinite semiosis. Don Quixote is an ideal book to stimulate creative readings due to its hospitable condition towards any culture or generation. Irony is the nuclear rhetoric of the Cervantes’ classic and it provokes ‘lessons’ of opposite reading, sane interpretations for crazy examples. When reading it, you learn to use fantasy not for the belief in the meanings but for the critic sense towards the reference world

How to measure inflation volatility: a note

Este documento propone un modelo estadístico y un marco conceptual para estimar la volatilidad de la inflación suponiendo rational inattention, donde la caída del nivel de atención responde a la llegada de noticias al mercado. Estimamos la tendencia y la volatilidad condicional de la inflación en Alemania, España, la Unión Económica y Monetaria y Estados Unidos empleando datos mensuales desde enero de 2002 hasta marzo de 2022, y contrastamos si la inflación fue igual o inferior al 2 % en ese período y esas regiones. Descomponemos la volatilidad de la inflación en sus componentes de sorpresas «negativas» y «positivas», y caracterizamos los diferentes escenarios de volatilidad de inflación durante la gran crisis financiera de 2008, la crisis de deuda soberana y el período pos-COVID. Nuestra medida de volatilidad supera a una modelización GARCH(1,1) y a la desviación típica móvil de la inflación en ejercicios de previsión un período hacia delante, tanto dentro como fuera de la muestra. La metodología propuesta en este artículo es apropiada para estimar la volatilidad condicional de variables macrofinancieras. Recomendamos incluir esta medida en tareas de seguimiento y previsión de la dinámica de la inflación.This paper proposes a statistical model and a conceptual framework to estimate inflation volatility assuming rational inattention, where the decay in the level of attention reflects the arrival of news in the market. We estimate trend inflation and the conditional inflation volatility for Germany, Spain, the euro area and the United States using monthly data from January 2002 to March 2022 and test whether inflation was equal to or below 2% in this period in these regions. We decompose inflation volatility into positive and negative surprise components and characterise different inflation volatility scenarios during the Great Financial Crisis, the Sovereign Debt Crisis, and the post-COVID period. Our volatility measure outperforms the GARCH(1,1) model and the rolling standard deviation in one-step ahead volatility forecasts both in-sample and out-of-sample. The methodology proposed in this article is appropriate for estimating the conditional volatility of macro-financial variables. We recommend the inclusion of this measure in inflation dynamics monitoring and forecasting exercises
