El presente trabajo se enfoca en el papel que juega la motivación para el desarrollo de la CL en español como lengua extranjera. El objetivo principal del presente trabajo es explorar cómo los diferentes componentes de un curso de lectura literaria afectan la motivación para desarrollar la CL. Para ello, se hizo un estudio de caso de dos estudiantes suecos de español como lengua extranjera en una escuela secundaria situada en Sollentuna, Suecia. La investigación se basó en los portafolios de los estudiantes, así como cuestionarios y entrevistas semi-estructuradas realizadas con los mismos participantes. En los análisis de los datos se aplicó una combinación del método cualitativo, interpretativo y el cuantitativo para tratar de entender mejor y explicar los conceptos en cuestión desde el punto de vista de la totalidad del contexto de aprendizaje. Los resultados del estudio sugieren que el desarrollo de la CL está en correlación con la motivación resultativa e intrínseca, mientras que la predominante orientación motivacional del alumno no tenía un papel significativo para los resultados de aprendizaje en nuestros participantes. Por otra parte, tales elementos del curso como la posibilidad de elegir la tarea o el material, el uso de textos multimodales, la integración de las destrezas y una continua retroalimentación tuvieron un efecto positivo en la motivación para desarrollar la CL. Los resultados del presente estudio pueden contribuir a una mejor comprensión de lo que crea la motivación, y como tal, servir como base para sugerencias para la enseñanza de literatura en L2. En las conclusiones se marcan posibles líneas de investigación futuras., The present research paper focuses on the role of motivation of the L2 learners for the development of literary competence (LC). The overall aim of this investigation is to explore how different components of a literary reading course can influence the students´ motivation to develop the LC. The present paper is a case study of two Swedish students of Spanish as a foreign language in a secondary school situated in Sollentuna, Sweden. The investigation uses a combination of qualitative, interpretive and quantitative methods and attempts to understand the concepts under analysis within the learning context in its entirety. The materials to be analysed are the student reader’s portfolios, as well as questionnaires and semi-structured interviews carried out with the same participants. The results of the study suggest that the development of the LC is in correlation with the resultative and the intrinsic types of motivation, whereas the predominant motivational orientation of the learner was not found to play a significant role for the learning results of the participants. On the other hand, the motivation to develop the LC was positively affected by such course elements as a possibility to select a task or material, the use of multi-modal texts, integration of language skills and a regular individual feedback. The findings of this study add to the understanding of what creates the learner’s motivation, and also may serve as a base for suggestions for a competence-based literature teaching in a foreign language classroom. In the conclusions of this dissertation, possible directions for future research are outlined.

The Universitat Politecnica de Catalunya, UPC-BARCELONATECH (http://www.upc.edu), is a technical university that teaches engineering, architecture and optometry degrees. RIMA project (http://www.upc.edu/rima) has been created as a meeting point for Communities of Practice (C&P) at UPC-BARCELONATECH in research devoted to teaching and learning methodologies. RIMA project includes Student Portfolio Community of Practice, GTPoE, focused on portfolio design models and templates. The main goal of GTPoE is to help teachers and students in developing portfolios as an authentic and holistic assessment tool in the frame of European Higher Education Area (EHEA) degrees and masters. GTPoE allow teachers and students to show and share works and examples according to Autonomous Learning (AL) level, as well as exchange experiences and results by creating a Decalogue of Good Teaching Practices, to improve students' portfolio performance. This work provides an approximation to research, based on fundamental aspects that a lecturer might consider to include in a student learning portfolio optimised for common activities in engineering and optometry degrees, essentially describing a relation of good practices. Portfolio experience can be easier applied to other subjects once the GTPoE site contains storage of some examples of using the portfolio in subjects in engineering and optometry degrees. This collection will be also very resourceful for other lecturers and students who have to introduce the tool. Generally, portfolio activity assessment is carried out by means of a survey, in which students can identify the strengths and weaknesses to guarantee the continuous improvement of their performance through portfolio development, in a progressive way to integrate academic knowledge and professional skills., Postprint (published version)

This paper explains the experience of introducing student's portfolio as an active learning methodology in the field of "Theory of Communication" syllabus in Journalism studies degree. This is an example of how these methodologies together with the use of new technology (online virtual platform) let students' learning and teaching quality to improve, as well as to adapt university teaching to changing times., Este artículo explica la experiencia de introducción de la carpeta del estudiante como metodología activa de aprendizaje en la asignatura "Teorías de la Comunicación" en la licenciatura de Periodismo. Se trata de un ejemplo de cómo este tipo de metodologías junto con el uso de las nuevas tecnologías, en concreto de una plataforma virtual, permiten mejorar el aprendizaje del estudiante y la calidad docente, así como adaptar la docencia universitaria a entornos cambiantes.

We measure friction in the matching of students and law schools as the number of unnecessary student applications and school admissions that have to be undertaken per actual matriculation. We show that friction increases with student and school attractiveness, but decreases for top schools and students. We discuss connections with the literature on frictional matching.

The growth in the use of e-portfolios across all sectors of education in recent years has been dramatic (Truer & Jensen, 2003; Barrett, 2001). For some this is a case of technology catching up with existing teaching pedagogy, for others a new electronic tool that offers the possibility of incorporating; electronic artefacts, the World Wide Web and databases for storing, sorting and viewing artefacts and experiences (Truer & Jensen, 2003; Barrett, 2001). This paper will firstly reflect on two QUT e-portfolio tools: the Student Capability Profile (assessment focused) and the Student Portfolio (employment focused). The following discussion will then advance possible new interactive tools incorporating a reflective focus (Schon, 1998; Kerka, 1996; Sher, Williams & Sharkey, 2002), utilising journal tools and a learning focus utilising learning objects and online teaching and learning tools (Robbin, 2001; Hodgins, 2000; Bates, 1995).
