¿Qué consideramos un adecuado "marco del aprendizaje"? | por @santiagoraul - 0 views

  •  
    "Quizá podemos especificar qué es un adecuado "marco del aprendizaje" en la combinación de estos tres elementos, seguro que tú nos propones alguno más: Un buen educador: Con una excelente competencia en comunicación y habilidades interpersonales Con entusiasmo y la pasión por su materia Que tenga Auto motivación y la capacidad de motivar a los estudiantes Con excelente capacidad por el contenido de la materia y la manera de enseñarlo Con buenas habilidades para la gestión del aula Que disponga de habilidades de organización educativa Con una clara voluntad de ser innovador y creativo Con buenas habilidades para colaborar con los demás y trabajar de forma cooperativa como parte de un equipo. Una escuela eficiente: schools Un Aprendiz eficaz: Un aprendiz eficaz es aquel que encarna los valores de la escuela de respeto, responsabilidad, exigencia, ética y cooperación. Un aprendiz eficaz también busca activamente un cambio positivo y el crecimiento personal de sus capacidades. Según Marzano, Pickering y Pollock (Classroom instruction that works : research-based strategies for increasing student achievement / Robert J. Marzano, Debra J. Pickering, Jane E. Pollock.), aquellos estudiantes que aprenden a utilizar la enseñanza eficaz emplearían estas nueve estrategias que mejoran los porcentajes señalados : Identificar similitudes y diferencias (45%) Resumir y tomar notas mejora la retención (34%) Utilizar el refuerzo y reconocimiento (29%) Llevar a cabo tareas prácticas aumenta el logro (28%) El empleo de representaciones no lingüísticas (27%) El uso de aprendizaje cooperativo (27%) Establecer objetivos y proporcionar información periódica (23%) Generar y probar hipótesis aumenta el aprendizaje (23%) Preguntas, pistas y organizadores avanzados (22%)"

The Medium is the Message, McLuhan en 2' - 0 views

    "Is the form that you receive a message as significant as the message itself? Marshall McLuhan argued that throughout history what has been communicated has been less important than the particular medium through which people communicate. The technology that transfers the message changes us and changes society, the individual, the family, work, leisure and more. Narrated by Gillian Anderson. Scripted by Nigel Warburton. From the BBC Radio 4 series about life's big questions - A History of Ideas. This project is from the BBC in partnership with The Open University, the animations were created by Cognitive."

Poverty Impedes Cognitive Function | Science - 0 views

    "Burden of Poverty Lacking money or time can lead one to make poorer decisions, possibly because poverty imposes a cognitive load that saps attention and reduces effort. Mani et al. (p. 976; see the Perspective by Vohs) gathered evidence from shoppers in a New Jersey mall and from farmers in Tamil Nadu, India. They found that considering a projected financial decision, such as how to pay for a car repair, affects people's performance on unrelated spatial and reasoning tasks. Lower-income individuals performed poorly if the repairs were expensive but did fine if the cost was low, whereas higher-income individuals performed well in both conditions, as if the projected financial burden imposed no cognitive pressure. Similarly, the sugarcane farmers from Tamil Nadu performed these tasks better after harvest than before. Abstract The poor often behave in less capable ways, which can further perpetuate poverty. We hypothesize that poverty directly impedes cognitive function and present two studies that test this hypothesis. First, we experimentally induced thoughts about finances and found that this reduces cognitive performance among poor but not in well-off participants. Second, we examined the cognitive function of farmers over the planting cycle. We found that the same farmer shows diminished cognitive performance before harvest, when poor, as compared with after harvest, when rich. This cannot be explained by differences in time available, nutrition, or work effort. Nor can it be explained with stress: Although farmers do show more stress before harvest, that does not account for diminished cognitive performance. Instead, it appears that poverty itself reduces cognitive capacity. We suggest that this is because poverty-related concerns consume mental resources, leaving less for other tasks. These data provide a previously unexamined perspective and help explain a spectrum of behaviors among the poor. We discuss some implications for poverty policy."

OpenLibra | Problems in Introductory Physics - 0 views

  •  
    "This book is a collection of homework problems for use in an introductory physics course. It is a work in progress, currently complete through mechanics and electromagnetism. There is a complete set of ancillary materials, including solutions and an online answer checker. If you're an instructor, you can use these problems as a plug-in replacement for the ones in a commercial textbook, thus insulating yourself from common hassles associated with using the problems from a commercial text. For example, you can change books without having to redo all your problem sets, or you can tell your students that they can use any edition of a particular text."

Young & Creative | Nordicom - 0 views

  •  
    "This book YOUNG & CREATIVE - Digital Technologies Empowering Children in Everyday Life aims to catch different examples where children and youth have been active and creative by their own initiative, driven by intrinsic motivation, personal interests and peer relations. We want to show the opportunities of digital technologies for creative processes of children and young people. The access to digital technology and its growing convergence has allowed young people to experiment active roles as cultural producers. Participation becomes a keyword when "consumers take media into their own hands". Digital technologies offer the potential of different forms of participatory media culture, and finally creative practices. YOUNG and CREATIVE is a mix of research articles, interviews and case studies. The target audience of this book is students, professionals and researchers working in the field of education, communication, children and youth studies, new literacy studies and media and information literacy."

Turbulent micro hydropower - 0 views

    "Imagine you could use any kind of small head difference in a river or canal. The power those drops contain might surprise you. We created a technology that can make use of all these small waterfalls or rapids in a way that's safe for the environment. Gone are the days that communities had to choose between having power or fish to eat. Our robust and fish friendly vortex turbiness will generate energy 24/7 at an incredibly low cost of energy. That way you can have a project with high return on investment that improves the world just that little bit. Now, if you look at a river or canal, you'll notice that it's full of these small cascades, that's how nature builds rivers. We have created a distributed turbine system that can combines a large amount of turbines into one big virtual hydropower powerplant. These virtual hydropower plants can be as large as 10MW in power output. That's the power production of a small city! We can do this because our civil structures are designed to be easy to install, and the electronics and robust power take-offs are designed to keep working with minimal maintenance. The energy produced can be directly connected to your appliances or machinery, and at the same time connected to the national distribution grid, so you can inject the unused power to it, maximizing the revenue through a net billing connection."

    "The time is now: the crisis resulting from climate change is huge, impossible to ignore, and demands an immediate response of an unprecedented magnitude in our history. Flavia Broffoni is the leader of Extinction Rebellion in Argentina, and tells us how civil disobedience is one of the ways for the world to remain our world and last for long. She is a political scientist specializing in international relations and environmental policy, but she defines herself as an "anti-extinction activist and regenerative practitioner." Among many works, she was Policy Coordinator of the Wildlife Foundation / WWF and Director of Environmental Strategies of the Environmental Protection Agency of the City of Buenos Aires. She is the founder of AI.Re, a regenerative intelligence accelerator and coordinates the non-violent civil disobedience movement "Extinction Rebellion" in Argentina. "

Small Changes in Teaching: The Last 5 Minutes of Class - 0 views

  •  
    "The Minute Paper comes in many variations, but the simplest one involves wrapping up the formal class period a few minutes early and posing two questions to your students: What was the most important thing you learned today? What question still remains in your mind? Taken together, those two questions accomplish multiple objectives. The first one not only requires students to remember something from class and articulate it in their own words (more about that in a moment), but it also requires them to do some quick thinking. They have to reflect on the material and make a judgment about the main point of that day's class. The second question encourages them to probe their own minds and consider what they haven't truly understood. Most of us are infected by what learning theorists sometimes call "illusions of fluency," which means that we believe we have obtained mastery over something when we truly have not. To answer the second question, students have to decide where confusion or weaknesses remain in their own comprehension of the day's material. Closing connections. If we want students to obtain mastery and expertise in our subjects, they need to be capable of making their own connections between what they are learning and the world around them - current events, campus debates, personal experiences. The last five minutes of class represent an ideal opportunity for students to use the course material from that day and brainstorm some new connections.The metacognitive five. We have increasing evidence from the learning sciences that students engage in poor study strategies. Likewise, research shows that most people are plagued by the illusions of fluency. The solution on both fronts is better metacognition - that is, a clearer understanding of our own learning. What if all of us worked together deliberately to achieve that?Close the loop. Finally, go back to any of the strategies I introduced in my recent column on the first five minutes of clas

Civilisation peaked in 1940 and will collapse by 2040: the data-based predictions of 1973 - 0 views

  •  
    "In 1973, near the height of the 'population bomb' panic, a computing programme called World1 offered up some predictions for the future. It anticipated a grim picture for humanity based on current trajectories. Tracing categories such as population, pollution and natural-resource usage, World1 calculated that, by 2040, human civilisation would collapse - a century after the best year to have been alive on the planet: 1940. This film was originally broadcast by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) News as part of a report on predictions for the coming decades made by cutting-edge computing technology and leading thinkers of the time. The second segment features interviews with members of the Club of Rome, an elite think tank composed of government officials, academics and business leaders focused on the future of humanity. Their view is a bit sunnier, anticipating a world where global governments are forced to cooperate to solve complex problems, people widen their cultural horizons and work fewer hours, and limited consumption - not wealth - becomes a mark of prestige. Viewed today, it makes for an engrossing artifact, raising far more questions than it answers about humanity's ability to effectively predict its future and correct its course."

    "El debate sobre el impacto de la robótica y la inteligencia artificial en nuestro futuro laboral es cada vez más frecuente, y casos como el que se ha producido en una factoría de la empresa china Changying Precision Technology Company deja claras las potenciales ventajas de esa automatización. Los robots llevan muchos años reemplazando a trabajadores humanos en las cadenas de montaje, y en esta fábrica decidieron dar ese paso también: de los 650 empleados que tenía esa fábrica se ha pasado a solo 60, con el resto de labores realizadas por robots. El resultado ha sido aparentemente espectacular, con un aumento del 250% en la producción. ..."

Half an Hour: Connectivism as Learning Theory - 2 views

  • Connectivism as Learning Theory
  • Here is their effort to prove that connectivism is a learning theory
  • "Connectivism has a direct impact on education and teaching as it works as a learning theory. Connectivism asserts that learning in the 21st century has changed because of technology, and therefore, the way in which we learn has changed, too.
  • ...40 more annotations...
  • Not too long ago, school was a place where students memorized vocabulary and facts. They sat in desks, read from a textbook, and completed worksheets. Now, memorization is not as prevalent because students can just “Google it” if they need to know something."
  • Though this is not very accurate,
  • What is a Learning Theory
  • theories explain
  • Explaining why learning occurs has two parts:
  • They're not taxonomies, in which a domain of enquiry is split into types, steps or stages
  • Theories answer why-questions
  • They identify underlying causes, influencing factors, and in some cases, laws of nature.
  • first, describing what learning is, and second, describing how it happens
  • The question of how learning occurs is therefore the question of how connections are formed between entities in a network
  • A learning theory, therefore, describes what learning is and explains why learning occurs.
  • What is Learning?
  • According to connectivism, learning is the formation of connections in a network
  • in behaviourism, learning is the creation of a habitual response in particular circumstances
  • in instructivism, learning is the successful transfer of knowledge from one person (typically a teacher) to another person (typically a student)
  • in constructivism, learning is the creation and application of mental models or representations of the world
  • Thomas Kuhn called this the incommensurability of theories.
  • The sort of connections I refer to are between entities (or, more formally, 'nodes'). They are not (for example) conceptual connections in a concept map. A connection is not a logical relation.
  • A connection exists between two entities when a change of state in one entity can cause or result in a change of state in the second entity."
  • How Does Learning Occur?
  • They're not handbooks or best-practices manuals
  • In both cases, these networks 'learn' by automatically adjusting the set of connections between individual neurons or nodes
  • In behaviourism, learning takes place through operant conditioning, where the learner is presented with rewards and consequences
  • In instructivism, the transfer of knowledge takes place through memorization and rote. This is essentially a process of presentation and testing
  • In constructivism, there is no single theory describing how the construction of models and representations happens - the theory is essentially the proposition that, given the right circumstances, construction will occur
  • four major categories of learning theory
  • which describe, specifically and without black boxes, how connections are formed between entities in a network
  • Hebbian rules
  • the principles of quality educational design are based on the properties of networks that effectively respond to, and recognize, phenomena in the environment.
  • Back Propagation
  • Boltzmann
  • what is knowledge a connectivist will talk about the capacity of a network to recognize phenomena based on partial information, a common property of neural networks.
  • Additionally, the question of how we evaluate learning in connectivism is very different.
  • a connectivist model of evaluation involves the recognition of expertise by other participants inside the network
  • Contiguity -
  • autonomy, diversity, openness, and interactivity
  • where learning is
  • the ongoing development of a richer and richer neural tapestry
  • the essential purpose of education and teaching is not to produce some set of core knowledge in a person
  • but rather to create the conditions in which a person can become an accomplished and motivated learner in their own right

5 Formas de evaluar a los alumnos - 0 views

  •  
    "Evaluar a los alumnos es una de las principales obligaciones que recae en la función docente. Evaluar los procesos de enseñanza-aprendizaje se convierte en una necesidad en el momento en el que debemos rendir cuentas de nuestro trabajo y del trabajo de nuestros alumnos en cada una de las sesiones de evaluación que conforma un curso escolar. La palabra evaluar dentro del campo educativo es un concepto muy amplio y que se puede entender desde diferentes puntos de vista. Es por eso que el artículo de hoy no tiene otra finalidad que la de explicaros cómo evalúo a mis alumnos en cada trimestre o evaluación. ¿Qué 5 formas hay de evaluar a los alumnos? Estos cinco tipos o formas de evaluar a los alumnos están pensados preferentemente para los primeros cursos de Secundaria. También hay que decir que los porcentajes de cada una de estas partes dependerá del curso que se imparta. En este sentido, esta entrada quiere centrarse en los apartados o formas de evaluar y no tanto en los porcentajes, que vendrá determinado preferentemente por el profesor o los miembros de un departamento. En mi caso voy a explicar las cinco formas de evaluar un trimestre centrándome en alumnos de 1ª y 2ª de la ESO (12-14 años). Formas de evaluar a los alumnos: 1. Comportamiento (se resta de la nota final de la evaluación). Cuando me refiero al comportamiento estoy hablando de la actitud que tiene el alumno hacia todo lo relativo a la conducta, material escolar del alumno y del centro, cumplimiento de las normas que rigen un centro, retrasos a la hora de entrar en un aula… En este apartado no se evalúa por porcentaje, sino que se resta de la nota global de la evaluación. Para poderlo cuantificar este tipo de comportamiento se distingue entre: Falta de comportamiento leve (-0,2 puntos): llegar tarde a clase, comer chicle en clase, no traer el material escolar… Falta de comportamiento grave (-0,4 puntos): atentar contra las normas del centro, falta de respeto al pro

¿Qué son las Pruebas de Estudio? ¿Por qué son útiles para los alumnos? - 0 views

  •  
    "Las Pruebas de Estudios, tal y como su nombre indica, son unos controles que los alumnos realizan periódicamente al inicio de la clase en las que deben demostrar los conocimientos que han adquirido de la clase anterior. ¿Cuál es su finalidad? Uno de los objetivos de este tipo de pruebas es conseguir que el alumno, en su casa, no sólo realice ejercicios procedimentales, sino que paulatinamente vaya adquiriendo un hábito de estudio diario. De esta manera el alumno se acostumbrará a estudiar de una asignatura de forma regular y no sólo el día previo del examen. Además, si las pruebas de estudio son muy parecidas a lo que será el examen de la unidad didáctica, el alumno afrontará este examen con más confianza y evitará cometer los errores en los que haya podido incurrir en la Prueba de Estudio. ¿Debe avisar el profesor de que va a haber una Prueba de Estudio? No es una respuesta fácil. En lo que sí quiero insistir es en que la Prueba de Estudio no se debe convertir en un castigo. Los alumnos deben asimilarlas como algo que a corto plazo y de cara al examen les va a favorecer. Personalmente, tengo que deciros que me gusta avisar de que habrá una Prueba de Estudio. El motivo es que así pueden apuntarlo en la agenda como una tarea que deben realizar en casa y, en algunos casos, podrán aprovechar la ayuda de padres, compañeros, hermanos… para que les ayuden a estudiar. ¿Cuánto tiempo deben durar las Pruebas de Estudio? ¿En qué momento deben realizarse? Recomiendo que duren, aproximadamente, entre cinco y diez minutos. En este tipo de pruebas suele haber pocos conceptos, ya que sólo se suele evaluar lo que se ha hecho en la clase anterior. En cuanto al momento de la realización, os propongo que la hagáis justo al empezar la clase. Una vez finalizada y corregida, se puede continuar con la programación prevista. ¿Cómo debe ser el tipo de prueba? Lo mejor es que haya pocas preguntas, aproximadamente unas cinco y, preferiblemente cerra

Exámenes para aprender, exámenes para olvidar - 0 views

  •  
    "El artículo de hoy no tiene otra finalidad que reflexionar sobre qué tipo de exámenes elaboramos los docentes. Dado que se trata de una reflexión, no es mi intención dar lecciones a nadie. Simplemente quiero mostraros qué diferencia existe para mí entre un examen en el que el alumno puede aprender y otro tipo de examen en el que el alumno olvidará con rapidez aquello que habrá memorizado. Para ello he pensado enseñaros dos tipos de exámenes para una misma Unidad Didáctica y para un mismo curso. Veréis que, aparentemente, tienen muchos aspectos en común. Pero de lo que se trata de ver en ambos no es lo que les une, sino lo mucho que les separa. El ejemplo que pondré para diferenciar entre exámenes para aprender y exámenes para olvidar es sobre el texto argumentativo, aunque podemos aplicarlo a cualquier examen de cualquier materia y para cualquier curso. Exámenes Fotografía extraída de Shuttershock ¿En qué consisten los exámenes para olvidar? Los exámenes para olvidar son aquellos en los que no existe una conexión entre la teoría y la práctica. Son exámenes que se basan en la memorización y en volcar definiciones y características de la Unidad Didáctica en cuestión. Cuando me refiero a los exámenes para olvidar no quiero con ello darle una significado despectivo. Son exámenes para olvidar porque se basan estrictamente en la memorización y no en la aplicación de lo que se ha aprendido. El alumno es incapaz de ver qué relación tienen estos conceptos con su día a día, con su vida real. Son exámenes que se memorizan y al poco tiempo se olvidan. Esto también lleva una consecuencia implícita detrás. Y es que muchas de las asignaturas como las de lengua tienen un carácter eminentemente continuo, es decir, hay aspectos que se enseñan en un curso que luego se utilizan en el mismo curso o en cursos diferentes. Si los alumnos memorizan pero olvidan al poco tiempo lo aprendido, tendremos la sensación de que cada año aprenden a

¿Qué son las Pruebas de Atención? ¿Por qué son útiles para los alumnos? - 0 views

  •  
    "Cuántas veces habremos finalizado una clase y nos habremos preguntado si nuestros alumnos han entendido y asimilado todo aquello que les hemos transmitido. Cuántas veces nos hubiera gustado saber si la metodología para enseñarles los contenidos de nuestras asignaturas son los correctos y vamos encaminados hacia la buena dirección. Pues bien, uno de los métodos que tenemos los docentes para averiguar el grado de comprensión de nuestros alumnos es a través de lo que denominamos Pruebas de Atención. En mi caso debo deciros que llevo utilizando desde hace tiempo este tipo de evaluación y os confieso que la encuentro enormemente útil por las razones que esgrimiré a continuación. ¿Qué son las Pruebas de Atención? Las Pruebas de Atención no son más que una breve prueba que el profesor realiza a sus alumnos para medir el grado de atención y de comprensión de todo aquello que haya trabajado durante una sesión lectiva. Esta prueba le sirve al docente no sólo para evaluar individualmente a cada alumno de clase, sino también para evaluar su propio trabajo y la forma que tiene de transmitir sus conocimientos. En verdad es una prueba valiosa tanto para alumnos como para docentes. ¿Debe avisar el profesor de que habrá una Prueba de Atención? Así como en un artículo anterior titulado ¿Qué son las Pruebas de Estudio? ?Por qué son útiles para los alumnos? no daba ninguna pauta determinada sobre ello, debo decir que no aconsejo avisar a los alumnos de que se va a llevar a cabo una Prueba de Atención. El factor sorpresa en este tipo de prueba resulta fundamental ya que el alumno debe ser consciente de que el profesor puede utilizarla en la clase siempre que crea conveniente. ¿Cuánto tiempo deben durar las Pruebas de Atención? ¿En qué momento deben realizarse? Las Pruebas de Atención deben ser muy breves. Yo recomiendo no superar los cinco minutos. Deben ser pruebas que contengan entre tres y cinco preguntas como máximo. En cuanto al momen
