Este libro ofrece una mirada a los procesos de adaptación e integración que actualmente acontecen en el campo educativo como consecuencia de la ubicuidad y prevalencia de la tecnología en la sociedad actual. La denominada revolución digital obliga a los agentes educativos a una profunda reflexión acerca de cómo los procesos de enseñanza y aprendizaje deben adaptarse a los nuevos desarrollos tecnológicos y a las tendencias que sobre éstos se articulan. En este contexto, esta obra conjuga teoría y práctica con el objeto de, por un lado, proporcionar a los docentes una visión panorámica del impacto de la tecnología en los procesos educativos y, por otro lado, visualizar aportaciones de la investigación e innovación educativa que se caracterizan por una aplicabilidad efectiva en las aulas del siglo XXI. En este sentido, la concepción multidisciplinar del texto posibilita una comprensión global de las dinámicas de cambio que es necesario movilizar en los sistemas educativos para dar una respuesta adecuada a las nuevas necesidades de la sociedad digital. En la misma línea, este libro pretende capturar la naturaleza poliédrica de la tecnología y, en consecuencia, analiza una gran variedad de desarrollos y tendencias tecnológicas emergentes (por ejemplo, BYOD, inteligencia artificial, robótica, pensamiento computacional, etc.) con el propósito de brindar al lector un conocimiento práctico de cara a una implementación efectiva de la tecnología en las aulas.

Technological advances allow for improved immersion experiences using information and communication technologies (ITCs) and their respective didactic possibilities. On the other hand, with the expansion of internet, mobile applications, and video games, they have become common use in student educational environments. By integrating digital tools and resources into the curriculum, teachers can create interactive and immersive learning experiences that cater to diverse learning styles and foster critical thinking skills. Harnessing new technology may allow educators to enrich their classrooms while preparing students to navigate the digital world, bridging the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application in social and experimental sciences. Utilizing ICT for Didactics of Social and Experimental Sciences explores the benefits of using information and communication technology in social and experimental sciences. It includes strategies and resources such as virtual reality, augmented reality, videogames, and virtual classrooms that can transform social sciences, teaching and learning, and society. This book covers topics such as digital technology, virtual reality, and gamification, and is a useful resource for computer engineers, scientists, sociologists, education professionals, academicians, and researchers.

Release: 2007
Genre: Biography & Autobiography
ISBN:

This concise text discusses a wide range of quantitative research methods, including advanced techniques such as logic regression, multilevel modeling, and structural equation modeling. Because the text emphasizes concepts rather than mathematics and computation formulas, it is accessible to a wide range of users of research. Professional practitioners in areas such education, business, social work, and psychology can gain an understanding of research methods sufficient to base their work on advanced research in their fields. The text discusses the quantitative designs and analytic techniques most needed by students in the social sciences and in applied disciplines such as education, social work, and business. It teaches what the various methods mean, when to use them, and how to interpret their results. Since it emphasizes general understanding rather than mathematical foundations, students are able to review a broad range of methods in a comparatively short space.

ISBN: 1135055467

Nothing seems more far removed from the visceral, bodily experience of emotions than the cold, rational technology of the Internet. But as this collection shows, the internet and emotions intersect in interesting and surprising ways. Internet and Emotions is the fruit of an interdisciplinary collaboration of scholars from the sociology of emotions and communication and media studies. It features theoretical and empirical chapters from international researchers who investigate a wide range of issues concerning the sociology of emotions in the context of new media. The book fills a substantial gap in the social research of digital technology, and examines whether the internet invokes emotional states differently from other media and unmediated situations, how emotions are mobilized and internalized into online practices, and how the social definitions of emotions are changing with the emergence of the internet. It explores a wide range of behaviors and emotions from love to mourning, anger, resentment and sadness. What happens to our emotional life in a mediated, disembodied environment, without the bodily element of physical co-presence to set off emotional exchanges? Are there qualitatively new kinds of emotional exchanges taking place on the internet? These are only some of the questions explored in the chapters of this book, with quite surprising answers.

Good Education in an Age of Measurement

The widespread use of the measurement of educational outcomes in order to compare the performance of education within and across countries seems to express a real concern for the quality of education. This book argues that the focus on the measurement of educational outcomes has actually displaced questions about educational purpose. Biesta explores why the question as to what constitutes good education has become so much more difficult to ask and shows why this has been detrimental for the quality of education and for the level of democratic control over education. He provides concrete suggestions for engaging with the question of purpose in education in a new, more precise and more encompassing way, with explicit attention to the ethical, political and democratic dimensions of education.
