Introducción:la investigación disponible sobre el aprovechamiento educativo del podcast de audio es escasa. Se revisó la literatura publicada (2014-2019) clasificando usos, contextos y categorías del podcast de audio con fines educativos, e identificando autores y revistas de referencia en el ámbito.Metodología:se aplicó el método de Mapeo Sistemático de la Literaturaa una muestra de artículos indexados de acceso abierto en las bases de datos Web of Science y Scopus. El filtrado de la muestra se llevó a cabo de acuerdo con unos criterios de inclusión y exclusión.Resultados y conclusiones: se hallaron 81artículos que destacan los principales usos educativos del podcast y coinciden en su utilidad para apoyar el aprendizaje en instituciones y entornos educativos formales, no formales e informales. Este trabajo brinda a investigadores, educadores e instituciones una línea base actualizada para seguir explorando las virtudes educativas del podcast. Introduction:There is little research available on the educational use of the audio podcast. The published literature (2014-2019) was reviewed, classifying uses, contexts,and categories of the audio podcast for educational purposes, and identifying authors and reference journals in the field. Methodology:The Systematic Mapping of Literature method was applied to a sample of open access articlesindexedin the Web of Science and Scopus databases. The filtering of the sample was carried out according to inclusion and exclusion criteria.Results and conclusions:81articles were found that highlight the main educational uses of the podcast and coincide in its usefulness to support learning in formal, non-formal,and informal educational institutions and settings. This work provides researchers, educators, and institutions with an updated baseline to further explore the educational strengths of the podcast.

In the current global context there are educational proposals which have arisen due to transnational phenomena. This is the case of character education, which received a clear boost in the US in the 1990s and soon transcended the US borders. In this paper we propose the need to assess the social, economic and cultural conditions of the specifi c local framework in order to determine the content of an adequate character education program. We consider this in the case of Paraguay, where the educational indicators, the lifestyle of young people or the great cultural diversity determine any proposal of intervention.

Service-learning began within the framework of the New School in which constructivist experiential methodologies were particularly important following various studies, such as those by John Dewey and his “Learning by Doing” approach. From then on, this pedagogical practice has spread all over the world at varying rates. In Europe it was slower to spread than in the Americas. In this regard it is especially interesting to look at the current state of the matter. The object of this study was to analyze the academic publication in Europe since the year 2000 with a detailed bibliographic review of publications with roots in Europe. We examined the main databases and used an analysis matrix with various content levels. We found that service-learning has different names in Europe, and that there have been uneven epistemological advances depending on the countries examined. We also noted that, in general, it was about higher education that most literature had been published. One of our significant conclusions was the exponential growth of contributions over the last 20 years, particularly in Spain, which produced the most academic literature on this topic. We believe that service-learning faces the challenge of effective consolidation based on educational quality criteria, and which includes combining elements of virtuality, reality, and academic rigor This work is derived from a project of the Spanish State Program of Research, Development and Innovation oriented toward the Challenges of Society (EDU2017-82629-R) and a Research Network of the Spanish State Program for Knowledge Generation and Scientific and Technological Strengthening of the R&D&I System (EDU2017-90651-REDT) SI

In this article, 41 Service-Learning (SL) courses have been evaluated in 5 Spanish universities (4 public and 1 private), in order to determine whether they are SL initiatives or other type of educational practices. These experiences, which were implemented during the 2015/2016 academic year, covered degree programs from the five knowledge areas. Most of them involved Bachelor’s degree students and only one of them Master’s degree students. A qualitative methodology has been used, focused on content analysis and based on evaluations made by four experts. The analysis of the experiences points out an encouraging course of action for this methodology in the Spanish university system, showing a certain change in the teaching culture, as they all meet the basic requirements which, according to international literature, must be present in service-learning projects and are also considered as criteria for assessing quality in such projects. Finally, a three-way action is presented, to open new prospects of educational innovation and social responsibility through Service-Learning possibilities in Higher Education En este artículo se han evaluado 41 proyectos de aprendizaje-servicio (ApS) en 5 universidades españolas (4 públicas y 1 privada), con el objetivo de delimitar si se trata de experiencias de ApS o de otro tipo de prácticas educativas. Estas experiencias, que fueron implementadas en el curso académico 2015/2016, se distribuyen en titulaciones de las cinco áreas de conocimiento. Mayoritariamente implican a alumnado de Grado y únicamente en una participan también los de Máster. Se hace uso de una metodología cualitativa, enfocada en el análisis de contenido y basada en las evaluaciones realizadas por cuatro expertos. El análisis de las experiencias señala un curso de acción alentador para esta metodología en el sistema universitario español, que muestra un cierto cambio en la cultura docente, pues todas ellas cumplen con los requisitos básicos que, según la literatura internacional, han de estar presentes en los proyectos de aprendizaje-servicio y que, además, son considerados como criterios para medir la calidad en los mismos. Finalmente, se presenta una triple acción para abrir nuevas perspectivas de innovación educativa y responsabilidad social a través de las posibilidades del aprendizaje- servicio en la educación superior Work derived from a competitive research project supported by the Spanish Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness, within the framework of the R&D&I State Program ‘Societal Challenges’: “Service-Learning and Innovation at University Level. A program to improve students’ academic performance and social capital” (EDU2013-41687-R), co-funded by the ERDF SI

This research work addresses the educational potential of the podcast, an emerging digital communications medium. This audio format brings together producers and listeners (broadcasters and users) through very specific contents. In effect, it permits sharing and broadening knowledge of a subject, together with the construction of learning communities. Consequently, the research focus is based on educommunication, an interdisciplinary field combining communications and education. The main aim of the work is an in-depth study of the educational potential of podcasting. The hypothesis is that its educational nature is beneficial to everyone, schoolchildren and adults. The research is proposed from a qualitative perspective; it combines several different methods such as content analysis, interviews and case studies so as to obtain innovative results. It is hoped that this research will contribute knowledge in order to improve the educational potential of podcasting, a useful tool in the full development of people and communities.

Citizen participation is essential for democracies to be viable, sustainable and healthy. But it is necessary to establish the appropriate channels for exercising it; and we can not fail to consider the fact that people live in an increasingly interconnected society, where the mass media are a key social resource and can play an important role in fostering critical thinking and active citizenship (Livingstone, 2004; Buckingham, 2007). We understand that to achieve this, from the field of civic education, digital spaces should be considered as privileged spaces for participation. In this paper we show the initiatives undertaken by the «Civic Parliament» project to provide online teaching materials to the teachers so they can raise in their students certain social virtues. The challenges in this order are diverse, we could highlight two: to promote participatory awareness in students, and to combine the technical, pedagogical and ethical-civic aspects of media use (Gonzálvez, 2012)./n, La participación es esencial para que las democracias sean viables, sostenibles y saludables. Pero es preciso establecer los cauces para ejercerla. No se puede obviar el hecho de que vivimos en una sociedad cada vez más interconectada, en la que los mass media son un recurso social fundamental y pueden contribuir al fomento del sentido crítico y de la ciudadanía activa (Livingstone, 2004; Buckingham, 2007). Entendemos que para lograrlo, desde el ámbito de la educación cívica, se deberían considerar los espacios digitales como espacios privilegiados de participación. En este trabajo mostramos las iniciativas llevadas a cabo desde el proyecto «Parlamento Cívico» para proporcionar al profesorado material didáctico online para poder inculcar en sus alumnos determinadas virtudes sociales. Los retos que se plantean en este orden son diversos, podríamos destacar dos: acertar a suscitar conciencia participativa y compaginar los aspectos técnicos, pedagógicos y los ético-cívicos del uso de los medios (Gonzálvez, 2012)., La participation citoyenne est essentielle pour que les démocraties soient viables, durables et saines. Mais il est indispensable d’établir de bonnes façons de l’éxercer; et on ne peut pas négliger le fait qu’en tant que citoyens, nous vivons dans une société de plus en plus interconnectée, dans laquelle les médias de masse sont une ressource sociale fondamentale et peuvent jouer un rôle important dans le développement du sens critique et de la citoyenneté active (Livingstone, 2004; Buckingham, 2007). Nous comprenons que pour y parvenir, du point de vue de l’éducation civique, il faudrait considérer les espaces numériques comme des médias privilégiés de participation. Dans ce travail, nous montrons les initiatives menées à bien à partir du projet «Parlement Civique» pour fournir aux professeurs du matériel didactique en version on line afin qu’ils puissent inculquer certaines vertus sociales à leurs élèves. Les défis envisagés dans cet ordre sont divers, nous pourrions en distinguer deux: réussir à susciter une prise de conscience participative chez les élèves et allier les aspects techniques, pédagogiques et les aspects éthico-civiques de l’utilisation des médias (González, 2012).

In our knowledge society, life-long learning is seen as one of the conditions for development. In this context museums stand out as social environments for learning and knowledge (Luka, 1973; Marcus et al., 2012). Museums have gained considerable cultural value since the fi nal quarter of the 20th century (Maure, 1996; Yanes, 2011), the starting-point for new museum studies. This is when the role of museums which are open to society becomes noticeable by combining learning and entertainment. This work considers the contribution of museums to the promotion of the social dimension of education, taking museums as an element for cohesion and social participation.
