Patrones de citación en la investigación española en educación matemática

En este artículo se muestra una visión diacrónica de las tendencias de citación en el campo de la Educación Matemática, tomando como población de estudio las tesis doctorales de dicho campo contenidas en la base TESEO durante los años 1975-2002. Para ello realizamos un estudio longitudinal sobre distintos aspectos relativos a la bibliografía recogida en tales informes doctorales, tales como: idioma de las citas, fuentes bibliográficas, antigüedad media de las citas, etc. Como hallazgos relevantes de este estudio destacaríamos la existencia de un patrón de 200 referencias, el predominio del idioma inglés en las revistas, en tanto que el español predomina en libros. Dos revistas (Journal for Research in Mathematics Education y Educational Studies in Mathematics) son extensamente las más citadas

La investigación española en educación matemática desde el enfoque conceptual inserto en sus tesis doctorales

Este artículo analiza conceptualmente las tesis doctorales de educación matemática defendidas en la universidad española durante el periodo 1975-2002, utilizando las categorías temáticas establecidas en la revista alemana Zentralblatt für Didaktik der Mathematik [ZDM] (véase Fachinformations Zentrum Karlruhe, 2004); a su vez, se indaga longitudinalmente cuál ha sido la evolución de tal producción a lo largo de ese periodo estableciendo un balance de la investigación realizada y contenida en las tesis. Un análisis factorial por componentes principales sobre tales categorías, consideradas como variables, revela la existencia de un factor general (constructo conceptual central) y una serie de factores específicos interpretables.This paper analyses conceptually the doctoral thesis in Mathematics Education defended in Spanish universities during the period 1975-2002 using the topic categories established by the German journal Zentralblatt für Didaktik der Mathematik [ZDM] (see Fachinformations Zentrum Karlruhe, 2004); furthermore, it examines which has been the evolution of such production throghout this period and it establishes an assessment of the research laid down in such thesis. A factorial analysis based on principal components of the categories, considered as variables, reveals the existence of a general factor (central conceptual construct) and a series of specific factors which can be interpreted

Análisis bibliométrico de la producción científica de la Universidad de Málaga en el Social Sciences Citation Index (1998-2007)

Se realiza un análisis bibliométrico de la producción de la Universidad de Málaga durante el período 1998-2007 en las revistas indexadas en el Social Sciences Citation Index, accediendo a la base de datos a través de la Web of Science. Se ha estudiado la productividad y la distribución temporal, la colaboración nacional e internacional, la producción científi ca por facultades y las revistas en las que se publican los artículos. Los resultados revelan un leve incremento en la productividad, así como un grado de coautoría (2,85) ligeramente superior al establecido para las Ciencias Sociales en España y un buen nivel de colaboración con instituciones universitarias nacionales y extranjeras

Introduction to Computational Thinking with Scratch for Teacher Training for Spanish Primary School Teachers in Mathematics

In recent years, the inclusion of computational thinking in education has become very important. This is a response to the needs of the evolution of our society and the skills demanded in students to obtain practical and integrated training. For this reason, the educational inclusion of these types of practices, strategies, and skills has been the subject of study in recent years. However, it is equally important to prepare and analyse the initial training of future teachers in this area. This research paper presents an empirical experience in which the degree of development of skills associated with computational thinking in preservice primary teachers is examined. For this purpose, programming practices with Scratch were carried out with a total of 149 students of primary education university degrees as part of their training in mathematics education. An experiment was designed for a control group and an experimental group with initial and final measurements using a validated diagnostic instrument consisting of 30 questions associated with computational concepts and their application: a computational thinking test. The result of the experience is positive, as a more significant improvement was observed in the experimental group, which was also accompanied by the impressions, provided by participants, that point in a positive, useful, and practical direction in terms of the development of this type of educational practice being relevant enough to introduce to the teaching and learning process of mathematics

Citation patterns in Educational Science theses at the University of Córdoba

This paper analyses citation patterns in 30 doctoral theses in the field of Education Sciences, submitted at the University of Córdoba (Spain) between 1997 and 2010. A preference was found for citing books as opposed to articles. The most widely-cited journal was a Spanish education-specific publication, Enseñanza de las ciencias. Only a small number of journals from the stock of periodical publications held and managed by the Faculty of Education Sciences Library were cited
