Published: October 2022

The theme of the research is topical, there are changes in the e-learning during Covid-19 which changes set new tasks in the study process at the universities, as well as new communication links and the changes of the culture of pedagogical technologies. The aim of the research is to define the benefits and disadvantages of the e-learning in the study process at the universities and their correspondence with the needs of the students and academic staff during Covid-19. There are the following tasks to achieve the aim: to specify the functions of the meaning of the e-learning based on the changes in the e-environment during Covid-19; to investigate the adequacy of the contents of the university studies with the demand of e-learning nowadays; to find out the pedagogical instruments in the cognitive process which functions as a pedagogical form of the professional development and manifests itself in the benefits and disadvantages to the university education in the e-environment. In order to define the benefits and disadvantages of e-learning of the university education the authors take into account the theories of the science of pedagogy and education management. The following methods are used in the paper: abstract analysis, content analysis, systems analysis, interviews, surveys, questionnaires, economic experiment. The base of the research are the Universities of Latvia. The research is done in the period of 2019 - 2022.
How to Design Virtual Video Production for Augmented Student Presentations
Authors: Collin Jonas , Westin Thomas
Published: October 2022

e-Learning environments have been developed and used by teachers and learners for decades. However, it is well known that sending, recording or meeting online can have a lack of presence and immersion. Furthermore, the configuration of a studio environment typically depends on physical props and technologies, which can be time consuming and hard to use for teaching purposes where each session may need a different configuration. Virtual Video Production (VVP) is a relatively new technology that builds on advances in extended reality (XR), supported by game engines and computer-controlled camera equipment. Camera data (pan, tilt, zoom, position) can be sent to a virtual camera in the game engine. The scene can be rendered via a green screen or with large LED displays. This provides an immersive presence with virtual 3D objects positioned in the room. Light settings can be mixed into the scene with remote control of LED lights to be in sync with virtual lights. Thus, VVP opens many opportunities for more immersive e-learning experiences. The challenge is how to apply these opportunities that involve syncing of several technical components and layers, designed to be useful within limited course resources. The question in this paper is how VVP can be designed and set up in an easy way for teachers and students to use it for presentations in courses? This paper presents results from a course in Immersive Environments where students first developed mobile Augmented Reality app prototypes and then used VVP to present their final work together with the authors. The authors documented preparation, wrote instructions for students and observed with notes taken during recording sessions. The results show how VVP can be designed and set up for course presentations that goes beyond a plain video recording in a lecture room or at home, but also beyond what was previously possible in a video studio at the university. This includes e.g., technical setup, direction of students, synopsis, concepts and virtual 3D props. Finally, the authors draw conclusions of what challenges remain for future research and suggestions of how to overcome them.
Reshaping academic ways of being and doing
Authors: Myers Marie J.
Published: October 2022

After a critical review of the impact of change on people’s lives, we report on an empirical study highlighting three major aspects of academic life that the pandemic affected, providing supporting examples. The method used is first textual analysis for the critical review based on what the literature identifies as difficulties brought about by change (CBIA, 2022; Senge, 1990). The empirical study is of a qualitative nature (Creswell, & Poth, 2018) based on the analysis of observations in a personal journal, and aims at uncovering academic concerns during the pandemic. The findings will be valuable to academics to reshape their ‘new normal’. Results include for the theoretical part of the literature review the fact that change impacts people and one cannot come back to prior positioning. Several findings from the analysis of the observational notes are centered around three main areas. The first issue was due to the short time span for new implementations and hence no time for foresight. This encompasses consequences of trial and error, more administrative control, and uncertainty of outcomes with contradictory discourses been held. Added to that there was a human cost that far exceeded what would normally be the case. For instance academic colleagues quitting or retiring early, unevenness in support provided, isolation in some cases compared to overabundance of support in others, perhaps even favoritism. The third major observation pointed to consequences on the instructional context. In this case, a number of positive outcomes were noted. More effort was placed on student engagement and learning, and it was all made visible. More activities were devised based on gaming strategies, and serious work was made more motivating. A better feel for knowledge integration was possible due to on-line learning for students who put some effort into it. Some observations however led to drawing conflicting conclusions. Finally, we discuss new future pathways. For instance, it is important to develop self-regulation in students and resilience for all concerned. There also appears to be a need to provide active support to everyone on an on-going basis as we move past the crisis.
Impact of Emergency Online Learning and Teaching on Mature Part-Time Students
Authors: Lourens Ann , CONNELLY RUTH , PLAATJES RONELLE , MAPALING CURWYN
Published: October 2022

During the COVID-19 pandemic, most institutions of higher education in South Africa, following an international trend, embarked on a mission to save the academic project by resorting to emergency online teaching and learning (EOLTL). The pandemic resulted in mature, part-time, working students being even further marginalised by removing them from university life and the accompanying support services geared to facilitate social, academic and mental well-being.  We assumed that the cohort of mature, part-time students (MPTS) would encounter technological and personal challenges that could limit their academic progress.

Against this backdrop, the dual aim of this study explored the impact of EOLTL on MPTS during the COVID-19 pandemic; and the redesign or readjustment of the curriculum to accommodate and support this cohort of students. A previous, pre-pandemic study, revealed that this group of students experienced significant challenges with balancing work-and-home life in addition to the stress of studying part-time. Subsequently, a questionnaire was designed and piloted with a group of senior students from this cohort to explore the impact of EOLTL. As an ongoing study, this research will report on the findings from the pilot study and compare them to the results of the data obtained from the pre-pandemic study.

A significant finding of the study indicated that the majority of the students from this cohort coped well with EOLTL and indicated a preference for a more hybrid approach for the future and the remainder of their studies.  These findings now challenge universities to find ways to adapt, capitalise on and apply the lessons learnt from the COVID-19 pandemic to benefit MPTS. 

Based on lessons learnt and experiences during the pandemic, this research has the potential to provide insight into how higher education institutions could improve the provision of support, as well as the learning and teaching experiences of this unique student cohort of mature employed students studying part-time (and others), to ensure retention and academic success.
Filling Voids in Japanese EFL Programs with Bricolage, MAYA, and Intentional Space
Authors: Goetz Thomas
Published: October 2022

Japanese universities and their EFL programs, when seen together, one may get a general sense that policy aims and actual effects show high-sounding slogans with results mainly in the opposite direction (Yoshida, 2019). A lack of a unified approach to EFL education can be explained at the program level when the following three terms are considered: 1) Bricolage, 2) the MAYA Principle, and 3) Intentional Space creation. Professors, often from eclectically different backgrounds, who are charged with curriculum design, hiring and training, and implementing their EFL program need to recognize their shared participation as something within an entire that will always be larger than the sum of what they can contribute. Hence the use of the term bricolage. Bricolage is a French loanword that means the process of improvisation in a human endeavor. The word is derived from the French verb bricoler, to tinker, with the English term DIY ("Do-it-yourself") being the closest equivalent. MAYA stands for: "Most Advanced, Yet Acceptable," a principle initially constructed by industrial designer Raymond Loewy. MAYA provides users, product consumers, teachers, students, coaches, and literally anyone with enough of what they already use and understand with enough new features that are easy to adopt ("Design - Raymond Loewy the first real Mad Man," 2017). MAYA is never applied nor experienced in a vacuum, always within a predetermined space. Within educational settings, MAYA needs to be applied not just in a classroom but to intentional spaces that include and go beyond the classroom. Creating an intentional space is about validating the students and making them feel valued and belong. It is also about building a dynamic, informed community applicable to learners' lives (Bauwens, 2008). So, what makes an EFL program good? Everyone working hard for the students? Is it teaching in an informed, smart manner? These questions and others were shared and discussed at a medium-sized university's EFL program in Japan. Survey results and discussion outcomes will be shared along with case study-like anecdotes and vignettes.
A Literature Study on Experiential Collaborative e-Learning Based on ECEL Articles

Published: October 2022

Abstract: Educational institutions around the world continue to develop teaching practices in which the importance of digital solutions is expanding. The increasing digitization of education and learning has made it even more important to explore and test how experiential collaborative teaching methods can be digitized and designed to facilitate collaboration, active participation, and exploration, elements that are all crucial to support development of complex skills and competencies. Previous research reveals that many solutions for e-learning do not sufficiently support more complex forms of learning. The authors argue that many technologies developed for the field of education fall short of their purposes and neglect or ignore intended underpinning pedagogy and didactics. As new technologies are being developed, promising great improvements in supporting student’ learning processes, the problem is exasperated by a technological euphoria, supported by EdTech companies, which effectively undermines appropriate cautions and reservations. The article applies the overarching conceptualization Experiential and Collaborative learning (ECL) in an attempt of include an array of established and complex educational methods or pedagogical models, such as Problem-Based Learning (PBL), Reflective Practice-based Learning (RPL) and Inquiry- of ECL have been derived. Based on those keywords, a systematic literature study within the database of ECEL article from 2012-2021 has been conducted to investigate and summarize the potential gap often seen between pedagogical and technological development in Edtech. The research question is twofold: "How is ECL addressed in ECELs papers" and "What is the potential gap transforming ECL to digital solutions"? The findings reveal that ECL is present in many articles to some extent. However, after sorting the articles using PRISMA, only a few articles are included capturing the complexity of ECLs. Based on the selected articles, gaps and potentials are identified, indicating a need for further research.
Redefining Quality Assessment in Canadian K-12 Schools With Empathy, Critical Consciousness and Metacognition
Authors: Marchione Michael , Barber Wendy , Van Oosveen Roland , Stokes Joe
Published: October 2022

Over the past decades, educational pedagogies have been shaped by many theorists and frameworks. For the purpose of this paper, the researchers define educational pedagogy through a lens that is influenced by Paulo Freire. For instance, educational pedagogy can be defined as seeking a balance within the tension between freedom and authority, while navigating the challenging structures that shape educational institutions (Freire, 2005, 2020). These structures include the impact of lived experiences and realities, the role of curricula, and the changing interactions within society that influence the pedagogical frameworks in education (Freire, 2020). This paper begins to consider a new framework for assessment and evaluation in Ontario, Canada’s K-12 schools, where educational pedagogy, empathy, metacognition, and critical consciousness may be posited as potential components moving forward. This paper deeply examines these three key elements of effective and authentic assessment: empathy, critical consciousness and metacognition. Each of these terms is defined and situated in a 21C digital learning context, and the authors suggest that new directions in assessment and evaluation must consider these three significant as fundamental to any redesign of assessment practices. Consideration may be given to the perspectives and experiences of educational leaders, educators, students, and their communities, and how these perspectives can shape the values and how we meet the challenges in education. Pedagogy in practice can often reflect the strategies and beliefs that influence educators’ values and choices, and the resulting impact on learning. Part of these pedagogical considerations may include the development of empathy, critical consciousness and metacognition throughout the assessment and evaluation process. Using a Canadian context, the authors argue that post-pandemic learners require a different set of tools to learn, and post-pandemic teachers need to reconfigure the ways in which that learning is measured, assessed and evaluated.

Life in Akananooru
Authors: S Murugalakshmi
Published: October 2022

The people of the Sangam age lived their lives by dividing them into Akam and Puram. These two divisions were unique to the Tamils. The Akam songs of the Ettutthokai (The Eight Anthologies) and Patthuppattu (The Ten Idylls) are dominated by akam songs. The people of the Sangam age loved their lives by dividing them into Akam and Puram. In Akam’s life, they had two kinds of methodology: immoral and chastity. The Tamil society, which fell in love, was transformed into a chaste society through the ritual of marriage. In a chastity society, domesticity is foremost. Akananooru says that righteousness is domestic life. Marriage is fundamental to marital life. The like-minded man and the woman get married to start a marital life. The need for material wealth is evident in the men of those who enter into marriage. The man did not return on time when he went in search of goods. The friend consoles the grieving woman and tries to console her. Having the gift of children means having the best children. They have good children in domestic life. Marriage created unshakable life beliefs in the lives of Tamils. Moreover, through this marriage, children are better talked about. This article deals with the virtues of wealth, hospitality, worship of God, discernment, charity, food, memorial stone worship, and heroism.

An Overview of the Methods by which the Visually Impaired Learn Classical Music in the Gurukula System
Authors: L Janarthanan
Published: October 2022

The gurukul education system is one in which a student who wants to study the arts first selects a guru and approaches him. The Guru, too, will give some tests to know whether he is really interested in learning and whether he is qualified to do so if he is selected, he will admit him into his gurukul (educational place). He stays with the guru and learns that art, which is the gurukul system of education. In that place, disciplines like duty, decency, and control were taught in addition to the art the student studied. From getting up in the morning and taking a bath after completing the nature calls and yoga practice, he was taught the meaning of "duty" by performing the duties assigned to him, starting with the needs required by the guru. When a student goes to a guru to learn music, he will be taught vocals, string instruments, wind instruments, leather instruments, etc., based on his voice and his skills. Mridangam vidwan Valangaiman Thiyagarajan and veena maestro Srini Maheshwari Venkataraman have said in an interview that the gurukul system is the best way for the visually impaired to learn classical music. In texts like Ratnakaram, it is said that music is an artificial combination of the three songs: instruments and acting. The authors of Tamil literature also call it music, which contains within itself questions, swarams, taalams, ragas, ideas, beautifications, and flavours. If this music is to develop in a way that is not to be questioned among the students, it is necessary to teach music properly. When the visually impaired learn music in the gurukul system, the students can learn clearly by interacting with the students, like parents and relatives, and teaching them the art. In this way, this article explains the usefulness, method, and guidance of learning classical music in a gurukul manner.
The Purathinai (External) Disciplines of Tolkappiyam in the Purananuru
Authors: A Muthusivagami
Published: October 2022

Grammar comes from literature, just as oil is extracted from sesame seeds. Grammar is defined based on the literature that has emerged. Tolkappiyar speaks of the seven purathinai disciplines in parallel with the seven agattinai disciplines. The way of life of the people of the Sangam age was a mixture of Akam and Puram. The purpose of this study is to understand the superior way of life of the people of the Sangam age through the seven external disciplines laid down by Tolkapiyar. A closer look at each and every act of the Tamils of the Sangam age through the Purananuru, which is the literature for the seven-sided morality of Tolkapiyar, shows that the people of the Sangam age fully understood the life, enjoyed the life, and lived an impeccable, high, and heroic life without blemish. The purpose of this study is to understand the life values of the people of the Sangam age, such as the events of the war between kings, the relationship between kings and poets, the honourable valour of the kings, the education of women and their political acumen, the activities of the humanist poets who maintained a warless peace, and the generosity of the kings, based on the purathinai and faculties of the Tolkapiyam.
Musical Traditions of Sri Lankan Mattakalappu (Batticaloa) Threnodic Songs
Authors: Gopinath Thangarasa
Published: October 2022

Lullaby songs and threnodic songs are indispensable in the lives of men. Threnodic songs are also found as oral literature. Threnodics are songs that are sung after a person's death by his mother, wife, daughter, and other relatives, with a long tone to express the feeling of sadness, by telling about the nature and habits of the deceased. The theme of the song is the lifestyle of the deceased, the habits, the ability to speak, the physical appearance, and the relationship between the deceased and the singer. In this, the smallest of the sentences are found along with the rhyme and alliteration. These are often sung to the sound of a musical cry. Since it is an expression of emotions without any rhythm or meter, there are unique characteristics of the song, such as ups and downs, storytelling, intermittent crying, and singing of the three periods together, viz., vilampa kaalam (pacifying tune), thuritha kaalam (fast tune), and mathiya kaalam (medium tune). This is known as Pilakanam (lamentation), Kaiyarunilai (helplessness), Pulambal (wailing), and Irankarpaa (elegy). How to live is the grammar of a lullaby. But the grammar of the threnodic song is that it sings about the lifestyle of the deceased. In the house of death, the threnodic songs are formed by the expression of emotions and the mental status of those who have lost their relationships. These are new, different from person to person, according to their imagination, and correspond to the relationship between the dead and the singer. Field studies showed that a threnodic song is an expression of emotions that come without any restrictions. The purpose of writing this paper was to find out and document the fact that the threnodic songs sung in Batticaloa are characterized by the expression and uniqueness of emotions, along with many musical traditions.
Cattle-Lifting and the Retrieval of the Same as Indicated in Tholkappiyam
Authors: P Malaiammal
Published: October 2022

Tholkappiyam is the primary book that reveals the life and culture of the ancient Tamils. The Purathinai is the elaboration of the messages of the war life and fame of the ancient Tamils. That is to say, an individual's education, charity, fame, heroism, etc., by name so that others may know it. War has been going on since the creation of the world to the present day. Wild animals fight for their own needs and self-defense. A man who is not civilized fights because of his greed for the earth, his lust for gold, and his greed for women. Tolkappiyar was the first to describe such wars in his grammar book by dividing them into vetchippor, vanchippor, uzhinaippor, and thumpaippor. Among them, this article deals with cattle lifting and retrieval of the same in the vetchippor. This article also aims to see the features of ancient warfare shown by Tolkappiyar through the Purathinai.
The Poverty that is revealed in the Short Stories of Pa. Jayaprakasam
Authors: N Selvi
Published: October 2022

Poverty is deadly. It can be said that poverty is coupled with Karisal's life. A man always has to fight with society for his economic upliftment. The Karisal region is sky-seeing earth known for its drought, heat, and mirage. Therefore, poverty and persecution are related phenomena that rob human life. Drought occurs due to poverty. As a result, agriculture does not take place. Poverty is caused by economic problems. Due to this, the local community is also seen as being full of problems. In this study, we will examine the sufferings of people due to the poverty that Pa. Jayaprakasam has created in his stories.
The Importance of Objects in Human Life Found in Tamil Literature
Authors: M Durga
Published: October 2022

The object plays an important role in human life. Though a man lived in an ethnic society, he followed a barter system because he was dependent on others. Since the barter system was the most difficult method of exchange and involved loss, the commodity value coin and money came into operation as an alternative. Although the object is unstable, the object is necessary to live in the world and cannot be ignored. If there is something in the possession of a person who does not value it, the one who does not care will be respected and valued. The household must have intended to remain established. It is very difficult to earn money. For that reason, it has been customary since then to the present day for the man to leave the woman for the sake of the necessities of life. If everyone wants to live with everything, he has to give it to others and live. When one has wealth, one does not know its value. The value of wealth is known only when you are subjected to poverty. It is better to work hard and live richly rather than to live on credit. It is not the best life. A person who spends more than he needs is a spendthrift. He who does not spend despite the need is a miser, so it is better to spend according to the need and live according to the need. When you spend money in a good way on the right path, it will bring happiness not only to yourself but also to your relatives. Savings are the ones that raise the quality of life of an individual. In 2008, many countries, including the United States, were affected by the global economic slowdown, but India did not suffer that much because of the saving habits of our people that made money a part of life. Now it is only when there is money that life becomes great. People have created an environment in which meaning is very essential for human life.
Práticas de leitura literária em sala de aula

Published: October 2022

Neste estudo, enfocam-se processos mediadores de leitura literária desenvolvidos em sala de aula, através da análise de aulas ocorridas em turma de terceira série do Ensino Fundamental e da apresentação de princípios para a mediação de leitura do texto literário. Busca-se fornecer subsídios para a qualificação da prática docente, através da avaliação de estratégias de ensino vigentes e da proposição de alternativas. Inicialmente, são analisadas doze aulas de leitura literária, desenvolvidas em turmas de terceira série do ensino fundamental, em escolas públicas e privadas de Caxias do Sul, a partir de estudos de Bordini e Aguiar (1994), Chartier (2002), Feuerstein (apud GOMES, 2002), Iser (1996), Larrosa (2003), Rangel (2005), Saraiva e Mügge (2006) e Zilberman (1998). A análise desse material aponta dificuldade dos professores em identificar e abordar o texto literário, além do predomínio de concepções estruturalistas de leitura, gerando silenciamento do aluno no processo de significação. Dessa forma, prevalecem ações que não instrumentalizam o leitor para a interação com o texto, pois não o consideram em suas especificidades. Buscando contribuir para a mudança desse quadro, apresentam-se princípios e estratégias para a mediação de leitura do texto literário infantil, a partir de estudos de Cosson (2006), Saraiva (2001) e Saraiva e Mügge (2006). Este estudo é parte dos resultados da pesquisa “Formação do leitor: o processo de mediação do docente”, realizada na Universidade de Caxias do Sul com apoio da FAPERGS e do CNPq.
Educación para una ciudadanía democrática e intercultural en Colombia
Authors: Sánchez Fontalvo Iván Manuel
Published: October 2022

Los colombianos convivimos en un escenario caracterizado por la diversidad étnica y cultural, sin embargo, las identidades locales, regionales y nacional se construyen en condiciones desfavorables, particularmente en los barrios de las ciudades donde se asientan cada vez más personas y familias desplazadas por la violencia. La mayoría de esa población pertenece a grupos étnicos como las comunidades indígenas y afrocolombianas, que abandonan sus territorios, y muchas veces su cultura, en contra de su voluntad para vivir en los centros urbanos en condiciones miserables.

En este sentido, la educación debe asumir un papel protagónico y de liderazgo en la transformación social de Colombia. La escuela tiene un gran papel en la orientación del rumbo de las transformaciones hacía modelos de una sociedad justa, respetuosa activamente y democrática. Es allí donde la educación para la ciudadanía adquiere razón de ser y necesidad de trabajarse.

Por consiguiente, en este artículo, hemos abordado la educación para la ciudadanía que requiere Colombia, haciendo un análisis de las principales dimensiones conceptuales que la fundamentan, las cuales nos motivaron a identificar y sustentar nuestro modelo de educación para la ciudadanía democrática e intercultural, que busca posibilitar en las personas el desarrollo de actitudes, valores y competencias que les permitan vivir juntas en contextos plurales, para promover la construcción de proyectos comunes de comunidad (en los ámbitos local y mundial).
Un modelo de educación para adultos que construyen futuras sociedades
Authors: Díaz Peña Sandra
Published: October 2022

El empobrecimiento del rol del profesor ha hecho que algunas personas consideren posible y conveniente su sustitución por la información disponible en Internet. Los maestros actualmente se dedican casi exclusivamente a dar los contenidos de su área y a desarrollar algunas habilidades propias de la misma, desconociendo su rol como agente social, encargado de formar y educar a las futuras personas adultas, quienes tomarán las decisiones de lo que será el mundo del mañana. Es preciso diseñar programas de capacitación continua y desescolarizada para que estén en continuo crecimiento y desarrollo personal y comunitario; para que a partir del conocimiento de su realidad próxima puedan participar en la construcción de programas de educación en valores para una sociedad más pacífica y justa.  Los Programas Plan V y Mi Zona han tenido esta experiencia en escuelas públicas de Colombia y Guatemala, respectivamente. Su experiencia permite afirmar que se requiere con urgencia de programas de educación continuada y desescolarizada para los maestros de las escuelas, y en la que participen también padres, madres y alumnos.
Integración curricular de Internet en la asignatura Proyecto de Investigación para el Desarrollo de la Actividad Metacognitiva
Authors: González López Rosalina
Published: October 2022

Enmarcado en la administración de la Asignatura Proyecto de Investigación de la Escuela de Bioanálisis de la Universidad de Carabobo, el presente documento describe la propuesta para incorporar una alternativa didáctica basada en la utilización de Internet como fin y medio, a objeto de optimizar la utilización de las bases de datos en la búsqueda bibliográfica, y garantizar la obtención de información con alto grado de validez científica, que fundamente teóricamente el proyecto y que, además, constituya un referente para la “Construcción del Planteamiento del Problema y Justificación y Objetivos de la Investigación”. La estrategia didáctica se centra en el desarrollo guiado de la actividad metacognitiva para un aprendizaje autopoiético en la construcción del conocimiento. Así, la metodología se desarrolla en tres momentos, el introductorio, que contempla una serie de actividades enfocadas a motivar a los estudiantes, así como a identificar sus conocimientos previos. El momento del desarrollo, donde aplicando el método del caso, cada grupo de investigación obtiene, selecciona y analiza la información disponible en Internet, sintetizando en forma esquemática, tanto los elementos teóricos que guiaron ese proceso, como los aspectos generales y puntuales a considerar en la elaboración del Capítulo I. Y el momento de cierre, donde las conclusiones resultantes de cada grupo son presentadas y discutidas por toda la clase, correspondiéndole al equipo secretarial elaborar un informe final. Se incluye además la metódica para evaluar la propuesta, que se centra en valorar la adecuada integración de la tecnología, el contenido y los recursos humanos en el currículo, así como el impacto generado en el proceso de aprendizaje.

Published: October 2022

O presente artigo tem como objetivo a valorizar a confecção do portfólio reflexivo como instrumento de aprendizagem do estudante de enfermagem. A metodologia utiliza versa a pesquisa qualitativa descritiva. O cenário do estudo foi um Centro Universitário da Região Serrana do Estado do Rio de Janeiro, em que os sujeitos foram 37 alunos do curso de graduação em enfermagem, do segundo período da disciplina de História da Enfermagem. A coleta dos dados ocorreu no mês de março/abril de 2007, através de um instrumento semi-estruturado com perguntas abertas e fechadas. Os resultados foram categorizados por unidades temáticas, conforme seguem: Reação de aceitação/frustração; reação de dúvida e superação; reação de negatividade; reação de satisfação por ser útil e aplicável. Por conseguinte, a aplicabilidade e utilidade do portfólio reflexivo é sem dúvida a fortaleza do instrumento, quando se evidenciam algumas vantagens, dentre elas a auto-crítica, e a liberdade para o desenvolvimento da capacidade reflexiva, a ampliação das bases conceituais, o re-significar da aprendizagem e da avaliação contínua.
Modelo metacognitivo como integrador de estrategias de enseñanza y estrategias de aprendizaje de las ciencias, y su relación con las competencias
Authors: Tovar-Gálvez Julio César
Published: October 2022

El presente artículo trata el problema referente a la aparente dicotomía entre las teorías de aprendizaje y las teorías de enseñanza, y en consecuencia la aparente incompatibilidad epistemológica, teórica y práctica, para involucrar en un solo modelo, aspectos cognitivos (del estudiante) y aspectos didácticos (sugeridos por el docente). Se hace una propuesta en la que, a través de procesos metacognitivos (reflexión, administración y evaluación de los componentes y posibilidades propias) se consideran y trabajan aspectos que permiten articular las estrategias de enseñanza y las de aprendizaje, con un claro aporte a la formación en competencias desde la construcción de la autonomía, y la posibilidad de regulación de acciones y reconocimiento de contextos que se le brinda al sujeto. Finalmente se presenta un caso específico en el que se aplica la metodología integradora en un curso de química general; la orientación se hace estableciendo relación entre lo metacognitivo y la didáctica de las ciencias, en la Universidad Antonio Nariño en Bogotá, Colombia.

La lógica borrosa o difusa ha encontrado múltiples aplicaciones, tanto en la esfera económica y de gestión como en problemas de ingeniería vinculados al control automático. No resultan habituales sus aplicaciones en problemas asociados con la actividad académica, por lo que este trabajo puede considerarse una contribución a la aplicabilidad del enfoque borroso también en esta esfera. El trabajo revela los puntos de contacto entre dos ramas del conocimiento aparentemente inconexas: el principio de extensión de Zadeh, como una de las generalizaciones de mayor alcance de la lógica difusa por una parte, y las categorías de la didáctica: objetivo, contenido y método por otra. El valor principal que puede atribuírsele es el de contribuir en la formalización de la relación entre objetivos, contenidos y métodos para una asignatura, disciplina o carrera a partir de las interpretaciones que pueden asumirse en correspondencia con los rudimentos de la lógica borrosa. En el trabajo se obtiene una expresión matemática para la función de pertenencia asociada al cumplimiento de los objetivos, pero no puede verse como una "regla mágica o salvadora" a la cual acudimos para saber si nuestro trabajo anda bien o mal; es mas bien una guía, un medio metodológico para orientarnos. Lo importante es comprender su significado, además puede enriquecerse con cuantos matices sean de nuestro interés. Ella recoge los niveles de profundidad, sistematicidad, e independencia al abordar el cumplimiento de cualquier objetivo; pero el principio en que se fundamenta admite cualquier otra interpretación que se obtenga en el campo de las investigaciones pedagógicas para las particularidades de una asignatura, disciplina o carrera.
Un estudio experimental de las diferencias por género en la percepción de competencia a partir de la cesión de responsabilidad en las clases de educación física
Authors: Moreno Murcia Juan Antonio , Vera Lacárcel José Antonio
Published: October 2022

Para explicar cómo afecta el dominio de competencia, tanto a chicos como a chicas, es importante señalar el bagaje cultural y social representado por cada uno de ellos. Tradicionalmente, a la mujer se le concedió la responsabilidad de la educación de los hijos, de ser censuradas por lo que éstos hicieran o dejaran de hacer, por sus sentimientos y motivaciones. Esta educación de la mujer en la cultura de la responsabilidad familiar y social alberga, para Rich (1999), la aparición de sentimientos negativos e inconscientes, que incluyen una mayor motivación por la cohesión del grupo y la cooperación, mientras que en los chicos la preocupación por la competición y el dominio, les hace emplearse más a fondo en la consecución de objetivos individuales, como la adquisición de competencia deportiva. Todo ello, determina en el alumnado la tendencia espontánea a asumir comportamientos que se encuentran dentro de los estereotipos de género.
El cuerpo de la maestra de preescolar y su papel en la formación de los niños
Authors: Páez Martínez Ruth Milena
Published: October 2022

En este artículo, estructurado en tres partes, se lleva a cabo un análisis reflexivo sobre el cuerpo de la docente de preescolar en directa relación con el cuerpo de los niños. En la primera parte se indaga acerca de la palabra «cuerpo» con algunas de sus manifestaciones ideológicas para hacer un acercamiento al «qué es». Seguidamente, se distinguen cuatro modos en que se presenta el cuerpo de la maestra de preescolar en su permanente actuar con los pequeños: protector, sin protección, en movimiento y sujetador. Y, por último, se concretan algunas de las posibilidades para la formación de los niños, a partir de la conciencia de la docente sobre un cuerpo que favorece la interacción y que, a su vez, pasa por un proceso formativo. Todo ello con el ánimo de provocar unas reflexiones iniciales en torno del vínculo que se crea entre el cuerpo de la maestra y los niños, teniendo en cuenta que la mayor parte de las acciones en el preescolar tienden a centrarse en el niño y muy poco en la relación corpórea y recíproca de este con su maestra y viceversa.
Leer y escribir en la formación de grado: una construcción colectiva
Authors: Delorenzi Olga
Published: October 2022

Se socializa en este artículo una investigación desarrollada en la Formación de Docentes en el nivel no uni­ver­sitario, referida a procesos de lectura y escritura en dicho nivel. Investigación desarrollada durante tres años, en la cátedra Psicología y Cultura en la Educación, correspondiente al primer año de los profesorados de Lengua, Educación Física, Artes Visuales, Inglés y Matemática.

Se ha partido de la idea de comprender a la educación, esencialmente, como el desarrollo de una compren­sión compartida, desde una perspectiva mutua (Edwarsds, Mercer, 1987, p. 13). Asimismo se consideró que, la formación de los futuros docentes requiere de las prácticas de lectura y escritura, como un elemento central a su futuro rol profesional.

Y que la lectura y la escritura exigidas en el nivel superior se aprenden en ocasión de enfrentar las prácticas de producción discursiva y consulta de textos propios de cada materia, y según las posibilidades de recibir orientación y apoyo por parte de quien domina la materia y participa de prácticas lectoescritoras. (Carlino, 2005, p. 22).

Reforzando esta perspectiva las características y las condiciones con que los futuros docentes ingresan a la formación de grado, en lo que refiere a competencias mínimas de lecto-escritura.

El rol del docente formador se erige como tutor de los procesos de lecto-escritura de los futuros docentes, quienes son comunicados sobre qué y para qué leer y escribir en la formación. Y la necesidad de entender a la escritura y la lectura como procesos de construcción colectiva e individual, en los cuales el error es parte fundante de dichos procesos.
Valores e deontologia docente. Um estudo empírico
Authors: Fernandes dos Santos José Manuel
Published: October 2022

Este artigo tem origem numa investigação mais ampla 1 que pretende contribuir para a compreensão das concepções dos professores do ensino secundário sobre: (a) a profissão docente e as razões para a sua escolha, e (b) os deveres profissionais na relação com os diversos intervenientes no processo educativo. Foi, também, objectivo desta investigação, compreender se, a partir da consciência deontológica pessoal e empírica de cada participante, é possível configurar comportamentos e deveres comuns, passíveis de conduzirem à elaboração de um código explícito e comum a todos os professores.Para dar resposta a estes objectivos optou-se por um estudo qualitativo e exploratório. Assumindo que se pode aceder ao pensamento dos participantes pelo sentido que atribuem à sua acção educativa e pelas convicções que manifestam sobre a profissão, procedeu-se a uma investigação interpretativa, sustentada na procura de sentidos e apoiada na quantificação das unidades de registos identificadas para cada indicador. O instrumento utilizado para a recolha de dados foi a entrevista semi-directiva. A análise de conteúdo dos discursos estruturou-se segundo os processos vertical e horizontal. Da análise dos discursos dos participantes, que aqui se apresenta de forma sintética, emerge a singu­laridade da profissão docente, quer quanto aos objectivos formativos que persegue, quer quanto à postura e rigor profissional que os seus agentes devem demonstrar. O ensino é interpretado como uma actividade eminentemente ética. Desta forma, a constituição de um código deontológico formal é desejada e vista como um meio para: (a) o desenvolvimento da qualidade de serviço prestado, (b) a coesão e dignificação social da classe, e (c) a identificação de um perfil de professor que participe activamente na gestão e produção da ciência da sua arte.
El enfoque del paradigma funcionalista en torno a la naturaleza, alcances, metas y proyecciones del proceso de reforma educacional
Authors: Espinoza Díaz Óscar
Published: October 2022

El presente artículo provee un análisis del enfoque funcionalista en relación a tres aspectos cruciales que inciden tanto en el desarrollo de los sistemas educativos como en los procesos observables al interior de estos: a) la interrelación Estado-educación y el rol que juegan éstos en el desarrollo de cualquier sistema; b) la naturaleza, alcances y metas de las reformas educacionales, y c) las razones que explicarían por qué fracasan las reformas educativas. Con ese propósito, el documento ilustra, en un primer momento, los principales supuestos que guían a la teoría funcionalista y, a continuación, discute en profundidad la postura de los teóricos funcionalista-positivistas en relación a los temas antes aludidos.

Problemas actuales de la enseñanza aprendizaje de la matemática
Authors: Ruiz Socarras José Manuel
Published: October 2022

El objetivo del trabajo es reflexionar sobre algunos de los problemas actuales de la enseñanza aprendizaje de la matemática. Las mismas se realizan a partir de la necesidad de mejorar en todos los niveles educativos, el proceso de enseñanza aprendizaje de las ciencias en general y de la ciencia matemática en particular. El autor expresa en el trabajo su conocimiento y experiencia sobre dicho proceso y analiza cinco cuestiones fundamentales: la competencia del profesor de matemática, el trabajo diferenciado con el estudiante, la contextualización matemática, el contenido matemático como un todo y por ultimo, la importancia de los métodos aproximados de solución; concluyendo que la competencia del profesor de matemática es un aspecto esencial en el desarrollo del proceso de enseñanza aprendizaje de esta disciplina, lo cual incluye entre otros aspectos, no solo un profundo dominio del contenido matemático, sino también del pedagógico y de la didáctica de la matemática.
