ICTs and School Education

Nowadays, there exist lots of ICTs that teachers use as teaching tools. In this work, we introduce the theoretical context of the study of using ICTs in school education, then we present the method that will be used in order to achieve our goals. This work constitutes the groundwork to continue the study of ICT and its use in teaching

UX of Social Network Edmodo in Undergraduate Engineering Students

The main objective of this research is to describe the use that students make of an academic SNS (social network service) and detail the relationship between socio-demographic and academic factors associated with the use of EDMODO and the perception of the contribution to the acquisition of skills for the future career. In the analysis of user experience, participants positively evaluated EDMODO and found that the level of satisfaction is positively associated with the academic results obtained, and negatively with perceived usefulness in terms of the impact on their grades

Use of the hologram as a tool to work Geometry contents in Secondary Education

[EN] We present in this paper a methodology for geometric concepts learning in high school students, using the hologram as a tool. To do this, the foundations are first established to make the hologram a means in the teaching-learning process to continue with the description of the development of this methodology.[ES] Presentamos en este trabajo una propuesta metodológica para el aprendizaje de conceptos geométricos en alumnos de secundaria, empleando el holograma como herramienta. Para ello, se establecen las bases para hacer del holograma un medio en el proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje, pasando a continuación a describir el desarrollo de dicha metodología.Orcos Palma, L.; Jordan-Lluch, C.; Magreñán, AA.

The Kumon Method: Its Importance in the Improvement on the Teaching and Learning of Mathematics from the First Levels of Early Childhood and Primary Education

The present work gathers an educational experience based on the application of the personalized Kumon Mathematics Method, carried out in the school year 2015⁻2016, in which 30,849 students and 230 teachers from several educational centers throughout Spain have participated. We start with a theoretical foundation of the Kumon Method and continue with a description of the research methodology used. The empirical analysis carried out has been both in descriptive and correlational terms, using Spearman’s Rho statistic, between the levels at which the students of the sample have started and the Kumon level reached. The results show that the sooner students begin to learn Mathematics with the Kumon Method, the greater the chance of reaching a level of knowledge above their school level, which helps us to demonstrate the potential of this method in the teaching and learning process of Mathematics in the educational levels of Early Childhood and Primary Education

Local convergence of a relaxed two-step Newton like method with applications

We present a local convergence analysis for a relaxed two-step Newton-like method. We use this method to approximate a solution of a nonlinear equation in a Banach space setting. Hypotheses on the first Fr,chet derivative and on the center divided-difference of order one are used. In earlier studies such as Amat et al. (Numer Linear Algebra Appl 17:639-653, 2010, Appl Math Lett 25(12):2209-2217, 2012, Appl Math Comput 219(24):11341-11347, 2013, Appl Math Comput 219(15):7954-7963, 2013, Reducing Chaos and bifurcations in Newton-type methods. Abstract and applied analysis. Hindawi Publishing Corporation, Cairo, 2013) these methods are analyzed under hypotheses up to the second Fr,chet derivative and divided differences of order one. Numerical examples are also provided in this work
