Aunque se ha hablado y se habla mucho sobre el Espacio Europeo de Educación Superior (EEES) que empieza a implantarse, no siempre se comprende bien en qué consiste este y, aun comprendiéndolo en cierta medida, tanto profesores como alumnos apenas disponen de una reflexión profunda que los oriente sobre su significado y sus implicaciones, ni de instrumentos eficaces que faciliten su propia integración en el nuevo marco de estudios. Esta obra, desde el conocimiento y la reflexión, pretende ser tanto una ayuda y un soporte, como una referencia para todos aquellos que tienen la firme voluntad de su asumir el nuevo rol que les corresponde en el EEES. Además, el análisis y la exposición que aquí se ofrecen de las teorías más significativas sobre el aprendizaje permitirán a los lectores no solo acceder a ellas y sus autores, y comprender la influencia de cada una en los procesos de enseñanza-aprendizaje, sino, además, conocer sus aportaciones específicas, la influencia que han ejercido o ejercen y su evolución respectiva, para, finalmente, aplicar lo que se estime como más apropiado en cada caso. Por otra parte, la aplicación del Role-Playing como herramienta metodológica, que aquí se propone, facilitará la puesta en práctica de lo descubierto. Podrá entonces comprobarse cómo quedan bien justificados muchos de los planteamientos del EEES. José Ramón Martínez Riera, Luís Cibanal Juan y M.a Jesús Pérez Mora son profesores en la Escuela Universitaria de Enfermería de la Universidad de Alicante, y autores de publicaciones sobre Enfermería Comunitaria y Técnicas de Comunicación y Relación de Ayuda.

In an era of globalization, technological innovation, and social transformations, universities face the challenge of training students with the competencies needed to meet the demands of the market and to successfully integrate into today’s workforce. This book looks at the university as a dynamic source of essential competencies and explores various skill management models, methodologies and innovations applied by educational institutions around the world. The demands of today’s society represent a major challenge for universities and their teaching staffs. Professors need to adapt their teaching methods to meet these new challenges. For example, universities need to prepare new generations of students with the ability to select, update and use knowledge, rather than processing facts and formulas. Students need to be capable of learning in different contexts and modalities throughout their professional careers and learn to adapt their knowledge to new situations. In response, a conceptual and methodological change has taken place in the university organizational culture and in student curriculums. This book presents a variety of cases and observations on the competencies developed in the curriculums of universities around the world, with the aim to assure that graduates leave fully prepared to face the challenges of the new economy.​​

The essence of this book is to shed light on the nature of current educational practices from a variety of theoretical perspectives. Both teachers and their trainers provide a better understanding of teacher training and learning processes. Mutual interrelations and the provision of knowledge between academia and schools are essential for merging discourses and aligning positions, whereby turning practice into theory and theory into practice in today’s teaching is vital for suitably responding to multiple issues and increasingly diverse contexts. The array of studies from around the world compiled in this volume allow readers to find common ground, discover shared concerns, and define goals. Studying teaching practice and training in different contexts reveals the state-of-the-art practices and identifies those issues that enable educators to understand the complexities involved. The chapters examine the development of our knowledge and understanding of teaching practices, at the same time as analysing engaging learning environments, the sustainability of learning and teaching practices, and highlighting new practices based on the use of ICTs. The diverse teaching contexts considered in this compilation of international research are organized according to the following topics: Teaching occupational learning and knowledge; Teacher beliefs and reflective thinking; and Innovative teaching procedures. The contributors are Laura Sara Agrati, Dyann Barras, Verónica Basilotta Gómez-Pablos, Benignus Bitu, Robyn Brandenburg, Heather Braund, Michael Cavanagh, Chiou-hui Chou, Jean Clandinin, Leah L.

This monograph mainly focuses on the idea that language teaching in higher education involves making use of new approaches and technology. It identifies the key determinants of the materials needed to improve language teaching on the basis of the actual experimental research included in the respective contributions. Thanks to its unique perspective, the book offers a distinctive approach to addressing empirical research on second language teaching, translator training and technology. As universities are some of the best arenas for analyzing teaching techniques for various subjects, higher education teachers can use this book to thoroughly prepare for the application of pilot studies and learn more about students' responses to new teaching and translation techniques. An enlightening guide for scholars and students with an academic interest in acquiring the basic principles of language teaching and translation, this book mainly provides actual cases in which the implementation of technology was useful to second language teachers and translation trainers. As the authors are experienced scholars, readers will not only come to understand how to use new teaching strategies, but also discover that the proposals described in each chapter can be useful to any level of second language training for teachers and translators.

This book presents a range of teaching methodologies and skills assessments conceived as fundamental tools for teaching and learning in the 21st century. In addition, it explores how novel teaching platforms may be used to improve communication and how emerging software can enable the acquisition and horizontal transfer of knowledge and self-study.
