Las pedagogías emergentes son "el conjunto de enfoques e ideas pedagógicas, todavía no bien sistematizadas, que surgen alrededor del uso de las TIC en educación y que intentan aprovechar todo su potencial comunicativo, informacional, colaborativo, interactivo, creativo e innovador en el marco de una nueva cultura del aprendizaje". (Linda Castañeda y Jordi Adell)
Higher education leaders have shifted focus from reducing costs and driving efficiencies toward using technology to enhance competitive advantage and support emerging business models, and ultimately, the institution's main missions of education and research, according to research from Gartner, Inc.
Cómo afecta el open data a la educación? De diversas formas, pero en mi opinión es clave la diversidad de competencias que debemos desarrollar para extraer
El Aprendizaje Basado en Retos es un enfoque pedagógico que involucra activamente al estudiante en una situación problemática real, relevante y de vinculación con el entorno, la cual implica la definición de un reto y la implementación de una solución. La educación universitaria enfrenta hoy el enorme desafío de preparar a los profesionistas para prosperar en el mundo real. Sin embargo, con frecuencia encontramos que los recién egresados no cuentan con las habilidades necesarias para desarrollarse en el mundo laboral.
Designing tests is a sophisticated task due to issues such as rubrics, validation and impact. Delivery has become another key issue in recent years. Recent research projects in Spain (García Laborda et al.s, 2010, García Laborda, 2012 and García Laborda et al., 2014; Bueno Alastuey et al., 2014) have been working mainly with technological devices as a means of test delivery. However, technology has changed in the last three years making desktop PCs and mobile phones less attractive due to space and practicality considerations. The use of tablet PCs for test delivery might be an effective option that combines the advantages of both devices. This paper investigates some potential difficulties that might be encountered if they are to be used for delivery of high stakes tests. In particular, it examines the perceptions of 24 future foreign language teachers based on a questionnaire. The results indicate that tablet PCs could be adequate for high-stakes tests in the 2nd and 4th years of secondary school (ESO) and the 2nd year of Baccalaureate studies in Spain. This paper addresses the rationale, our method of research and the questionnaire, and the results.
Los académicos solemos despreciar estas tecnologías, nos parecen una pérdida de tiempo, un divertimento de adolescentes con acné o un sistema banal propicio para el cotilleo y para conocer qué desayunan los famosos. Si tú quieres lo puedes dedicar a eso pero el punto central de este post es que puede ser una herramienta de gran utilidad, que tiene un potencial enorme para la docencia y el aprendizaje y que puede usarse con éxito en las clases y en las tareas de investigación.
Most teachers recognise the potential for collaboration between students and the importance of it as a component of a 21st Century education and yet many do not take full advantage of the opportunities they have for collaboration as teachers. Others have found the benefits and willingly share ideas gathered from their personal learning network and contribute to Twitter chats and attend Teach Meets. For those who have discovered the possibilities that come from being a connected educator this story may help to affirm your participation, for those yet to join the discussion you may just find that spark that encourages your involvement.
Con los años vamos acumulando experiencia, pero ¿aprendemos de la experiencia, o simplemente la repetimos? Ese espacio digital para la reflexión que es tu blog te permite tener donde ir incubando esas dudas, dudas que luego se transforman como mariposas en ideas, en caminos a seguir.
¿Hasta qué punto debe evolucionar la educación de los niños a medida que evoluciona el entorno que la rodea? ¿No es una pregunta completamente obvia? Simplemente extrayendo elementos de la página de Wikipedia correspondiente, podemos ver cómo la genuina educación es un aprendizaje abierto que va más allá de esquemas preconcebidos y que tiende a favorecer el desarrollo de la conciencia, la razón e inteligencia, y con éstas cualidades el mejor desempeño de cada persona educada para llevar a cabo en lo posible su óptima forma de vivir (la cual, se sobreentiende, es una vida culta en sociedad). ¿Para qué educamos a nuestros hijos? Sencillamente, para que sean capaces de desarrollar una vida óptima en un contexto determinado. ¿Debe, por tanto, evolucionar la forma de educar a medida que cambia el contexto? Si alguien no lo piensa así, si alguien cree que es mejor mantener a sus hijos en una burbuja aislada de ese contexto social, es que tiene un problema. Problema que, además, está dispuesto a transmitir a sus hijos.
With universities and funding bodies increasingly pushing forward impact agendas, engaged research has become a life or death issue for academics. Tweeting, blogging, and other forms of digital engagement are particularly on the rise. It is likely that in a few years’ time, the merit of Phd proposals will be based on their potential to engage publics through social media and measures of scholarly impact will include the number of tweets or blog comments.
“BECAUSE of the increased efficiency of machines, it is getting harder and harder for a human to make a productive contribution to society,” says Sebastian Thrun. This is what you might expect to hear from the man who suggested Google’s controversial Street View project to photograph the world’s roadsides, who developed the company’s eerie self-driving cars and who founded the secretive Google “skunk-works” project responsible for Glass, a wearable computer that resembles spectacles. Yet that does not mean Mr Thrun is in thrall to the march of the machines. “To the extent we are seeing the beginning of a battle between artificial intelligence (AI) and humanity, I am 100% loyal to people,” he says.

Lauren Rosen from UW-System shared concepts on Flipped learning and how some tools are used to differentiate for language learners so as to engage them in higher order thinking with the educator support where they need it.
The widespread, rapid adoption of English as a Medium of Instruction (EMI) in Higher Education has entailed changing the language of instruction with no explicit changes to curricular design. Students have faced of the added challenges of learning and performing in a second or foreign language with no time allowances to work on their language skills. Most instructors have put into place remedial measures, often through re-designing modules as flipped or blended instruction, which allows expanding attention to content and language beyond face-to-face sessions. However, academic content already requires a substantial amount of independent study time for students. This paper outlines a framework to situate the workload of students under several blended learning modes quantitatively, and it offers the outcomes of a study carried out on first-year students of Economics at the University of Oviedo. Results show a clear disparity between curricular expectations and student performance, with an impact on academic achievement for less linguistically able students. The research method is translatable to other English for Specific Purposes (ESP) contexts and will be of interest to those carrying out evidence-based research in ICT-enhanced content and language learning.
Sí, efectivamente, lo afirmo con rotundidad, Es un desastre.
Es desastroso para la educación tradicional y convencional, para la educación transmisiva, para el aprendizaje memorístico, para los que se dedican a dar clases particulares, para los que mandan deberes excesivos y frustrantes. Para la Educación, la Escuela y el Aprendizaje industrial. Para la Escuela del siglo XX, o incluso la del XIX.
Are there computers in the classroom? Does it matter? Students, Computers and Learning: Making the Connection examines how students’ access to and use of information and communication technology (ICT) devices has evolved in recent years, and explores how education systems and schools are integrating ICT into students’ learning experiences.
What it means to be literate today is significantly different to what is was in the not too distant past. Once, being able to decode text was sufficient even if barely so. Today literacy involves the ability to make meaning from a multitude of text types, formats and modalities. The skills required are more diverse and the opportunities for engagement are much expanded. This new literacy with its multiple dimensions requires teaching programmes with a broad depth and appropriate scaffolds and structures to support learners as they navigate a labyrinthine world of meaning.
Flipping the classroom promotes independent learning, personalizes instruction and encourages collaboration. But in order for it to work, students need to actually learn the material at home. Mind maps are one way to help them learn and retain information.
Se dicen muchas vaciedades sobre la escuela del futuro, como que el conocimiento ya no será valioso. Pero para educar la atención y el criterio necesitamos conocimientos. El interés no es el motor del conocimiento, sino que el conocimiento es el motor del interés. El ignorante no tiene interés por lo que ignora porque no sabe ni que lo ignora, mientras que cuanto más sabemos de algo, más interés le descubrimos, más fácil aprendemos cosas nuevas y con más placer lo comunicamos.
