Neuropsicología de las estrategias de aprendizaje y la atención en alumnos de 6º de Educación Primaria

Los estilos de aprendizaje que presentan los estudiantes potencian la puesta en marcha de ciertas estrategias de aprendizaje que, a su vez, influyen en el rendimiento académico de los mismos. El objetivo de este estudio es el análisis de los niveles de atención y del uso de estrategias de aprendizaje, las relaciones entre ellas y su influencia en el rendimiento académico. Para ello, se aplicaron dos instrumentos de medida a alumnos de primaria con alto y bajo rendimiento académico. Se efectuaron análisis estadísticos descriptivos, correlacionales y de comparación de grupos. Los principales resultados mostraron una relación entre la capacidad de atención de los alumnos y las estrategias de aprendizaje que ponen en marcha. Concretamente la velocidad de procesamiento actúa como facilitador de las estrategias de adquisición. La comparativa entre grupos de alto y bajo rendimiento mostró la existencia de diferencias entre ambos respecto a su capacidad de atención y el uso de estrategias de aprendizaje.2019-2

The Use Of Technology In Higher Education. Pedagogical Orientations Within Education

At the time of embarking on this examination of information and communication technologies in the higher education setting, a historical, pedagogical, psychological, sociological and educational approach was proposed. This served to join together a group of theories and ideas which enable the identification of both external and internal causes. This assists in understanding the increasingly rapid expansion of this prominent global phenomenon.  The first aim considered in the present study was to determine, via an initial diagnostic study, the use and frequency of use of technology in higher education. The second aim was linked with pedagogical orientations within education. The methodological design employed pertained to a descriptive study. More specifically, the study administered a questionnaire made up of Likert scales to a representative sample of university students enrolled on different courses. The population comprised students from the Education Sciences faculty at the University of Granada. The sample was formed by 350 students who responded to the questionnaire. Outcomes from the completed instruments reveal that a high proportion of young people spend a large proportion of their time using the internet, games consoles and mobile phones. Finally, it was indicated that it is necessary for a set of recommendations and pedagogical orientations to be compiled, designed and implemented to enable the correct management of technological resources

Factors Contributing to Mobile Phone Dependence Amongst Young People—Educational Implications

The use of mobile devices facilitates access to knowledge and is at the base of the education of the future. Although the digital society has contributed a number of benefits, it has also been associated with worrying behaviors. The study design consisted of a quantitative approach that was descriptive, inferential and ex post facto in nature. Its purpose was to better understand the opinion of young people regarding smartphone use and describe dependence deriving from regular use. The sample was formed of 420 students from the Faculty of Education at the University of Granada. Results indicate that mobile phone use has displaced use of other technologies such as the television and is associated with communication and recreational activities. In addition, a profile was identified for young people at greater risk of developing a dependence on their mobile devices. This profile constituted female smartphone users with recreational motives and individuals who exceeded mobile phone use by more than six hours a day. To improve the educational use of smartphones, prevention and intervention plans must be designed which ensure correct management of this device, taking advantage of the benefits they offer, while avoiding problems derived from inappropriate use
