Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder is the most common neuropsychological disorder in childhood and adolescence, affecting the basic psychological processes involved in learning, social adaptation and affective adjustment. From previous research, the disorder is linked to problems in different areas of development, with deficiencies in psychological processes leading to the development of the most common characteristics of the disorder such as inattention, excess of activity and lack of inhibitory control. As for the diagnosis, in spite of being a very frequent disorder, there are multiple controversies about which tools are the most suitable for evaluation. One of the most widespread tools in the professional field is behavior inventories such as the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaires for Parents and Teachers or the ADHD Rating Scale-V. The main disadvantage of these assessment tools is that they do not provide an objective observation. For this reason, there are different studies focused on recording objective measures of the subjects’ movement, since hyperkinesia is one of the most characteristic symptoms of this disorder. In this sense, we have developed an application that, using a Kinect device, is capable of measuring the movement of the different parts of the body of up to six subjects in the classroom, being a natural context for the student. The main objective of this work is twofold, on the one hand, to investigate whether there are correlations between excessive movement and high scores in the inventories for the diagnosis of ADHD, Rating Scale-V and Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ) and, on the other hand, to determine which sections of the body present the most significant mobility in subjects diagnosed with ADHD. Results show that the control group, composed of neurotypical subjects, presents less kinaesthetic activity than the clinical group diagnosed with ADHD. This indicates that the experimental group presents one of the main characteristics of the disorder. In addition, results also show that practically all the measured body parts present significant differences, being higher in the clinical group, highlighting the head as the joint with the highest effect size.

In this paper we present a project dedicated to the development of a didactical toolbox of material for teaching assistants (TAs) supervising exercise classes for non-physics majors at ETH Zurich. With our material we were able to support TAs in preparing high-quality exercise sessions for their class which go beyond direct instruction and activate students intellectually and emotionally. The materials are developed for 13 exercise sessions and are presented in the form of an eBook. The materials were immediately used by several TAs in dedicated focus groups. The positive feedback of students and TAs suggests that our material helped to activate and engage the students, enhancing their learning - even in the challenging setting of online teaching., 7th International Conference on Higher Education Advances HEAd'21)

[Resumen] Los nuevos paradigmas de la educación digital surgen como nuevas formas de interacción entre docentes y estudiantes donde la modalidad de enseñanza cambia de presencial a virtual. Sin embargo, las herramientas digitales utilizadas en este modelo educativo pueden crear importantes barreras de comunicación entre los individuos involucrados que inhiben cada vez más la participación activa de los estudiantes. Así, en el contexto de la educación síncrona, es cada vez más importante llevar a cabo actividades pedagógicas mediante el uso de estrategias didácticas innovadoras que fomenten la participación activa de los estudiantes en el proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje. Con este objetivo, en este trabajo presentamos una estrategia de innovación docente para mejorar la participación y motivación de los estudiantes en la parte práctica de las asignaturas del Máster Internacional Universitario en Visión por Computador (MUVC). Para ello, utilizamos una metodología basada en el seguimiento personalizado de los estudiantes en las clases prácticas mediante el uso de la herramienta Microsoft Teams. Para evaluar nuestra propuesta, aplicamos un cuestionario anónimo en 2 asignaturas de referencia del MUVC. En general, los resultados obtenidos muestran el alto grado de satisfacción de los estudiantes con la estrategia de seguimiento personalizado que se planteó. [Abstract] The new paradigms of digital education emerge as new forms of interaction between teachers and students where the teaching modality changes from face-to-face to a virtual context. However, the digital tools that are used in this educational model can create significant communication barriers between the involved individuals that increasingly inhibit the active participation of students. Thus, in the context of synchronous education, it is increasingly important to carry out pedagogical activities through the use of innovative didactic strategies that encourage the active participation of the students in the teaching-learning process. With this objective, in this paper we present a teaching innovation strategy to improve the student participation and motivation in the practical part of the subjects of the International Master's Degree in Computer Vision (IMCV). For this purpose, we use a methodology based on the personalized monitoring of students in the practical classes through the use of the Microsoft Teams tool. To evaluate our proposal, we applied an anonymous questionnaire in 2 IMCV subjects of reference. In general, the obtained results show the high degree of student satisfaction with the personalized follow-up strategy. http://hdl.handle.net/2183/28796

We acknowledge the researchers of the research group AreA (HUM-672), which belongs to the Ministry of Education and Science of the Junta de Andalucía and is registered in the Department of Didactics and School Organization of the Faculty of Education Sciences of the University of Granada., Recently, there has been a proliferation of technopedagogical practices, based on the application of active teaching and learning processes through the use of information and communication technologies (ICT). The main objective of this work is to analyse the impact of training action through the use of augmented reality in physical education for the development and acquisition of spatial orientation, as opposed to more traditional training based on the exhibition method. The methodology developed is quantitative, through a quasi-experimental design post-test in 140 high school students in the field of physical education. The results indicate that all of the dimensions show a very high, significant relationship. The greatest difference in average is observed in motivation. In contrast, the smallest difference, although significant, is observed in the grades given by the teachers themselves. It can be concluded that the method of teaching through augmented reality is effective in teaching high school students in the subject of physical education, especially for the acquisition of spatially oriented content., Corporacion Escuela Tecnologica del Oriente ISPRS-2017-7202, Secretariat of Education of Santander ISPRS-2017-7202, AreA HUM/672 Research Group of the University of Granada ISPRS-2017-7202

This paper describes an effective methodological strategy that the Consolidated teaching innovation group in Communication and Audiovisual Media (In-COMAV), composed of a multidisciplinary teaching team, has been developing since 2016 within the Audiovisual Communication degree program offered by the University of Barcelona. This strategy consists of promoting service-learning projects within the context of various courses. Here we present the viability criteria established for the acceptance of projects oriented toward collaboration with organizations outside the university, the critical success factors and the results that this initiative has had on students, teachers, the university and society. Such results are perceived positively, yet there are still challenges and limitations to be overcome to ensure the continuity, sustainability and effectiveness of service-learning projects in higher education.

Con la implementación del nuevo plan de estudios en 2012, en la Escuela Técnica Superior de Arquitectura de la Universidad de Sevilla, se introducen cambios sustanciales que afectan a la metodología docente y al aprendizaje. Este nuevo plan conlleva la inclusión de horas de aprendizaje autónomo (no presenciales) como parte del cómputo en los créditos del Sistema de Acumulación y Transferencia de Créditos Europeo (ECTS). Esta novedad implica la reducción de la docencia impartida en el aula y la necesidad de una mayor implicación del estudiante en su propio aprendizaje. En 2018, con apoyo del Departamento de Construcciones Arquitectónicas I, se pone en marcha una Web de difusión de los trabajos realizados por estudiantes que complementa la docencia impartida en el aula y reflejan el aprovechamiento de las horas no presenciales. La inclusión de esta herramienta digital en el proceso instruccional tiene los siguientes objetivos. En primer lugar, abordar las debilidades y dificultades detectadas en el aprendizaje diario en tres direcciones: revisión de conocimientos previos con los que el estudiante se enfrenta a la asignatura, consolidación de conocimientos teóricos y procedimentales esenciales en cada tema y repaso con vistas a la evaluación final. En segundo lugar, promover la implicación activa de los estudiantes en su propio aprendizaje y el de sus compañeros. Los resultados obtenidos desde la puesta en marcha de este diseño pedagógico reflejan importantes avances, dentro y fuera de la asignatura de Construcción, que confirman su utilidad e interés como herramienta para el aprendizaje. Asimismo, las calificaciones obtenidas en los grupos en los que se ha puesto en marcha esta propuesta confirman su éxito por el nivel de conocimientos con el que el estudiante supera la asignatura. En la actualidad, y a petición de los estudiantes, el proyecto continúa creciendo y reforzándose para otras asignaturas y cursos del Grado. With the new course curriculum implementation in 2012 at the School of Architecture, substantial changes were introduced that affect the teaching methodology and the learning process. This new plan entails the inclusion of autonomous learning hours (not requiring attendance) as a part of the European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System (ECTS) credit. This change implies a reduction in the lectures and the necessity of students’ larger implication in their learning process. In 2018, with the Department of Architectural Construction I support, a website was launched to spread the assignments done by the students that complement the lectures and reflect the use of the autonomous learning hours that are part of the ECTS. The inclusion of this digital tool in the instructional process has the following objectives. Firstly, deal with the weaknesses and difficulties detected in the daily learning in three ways: review the students’ previous subject knowledge, consolidate the basic theorical and procedural knowledge in each lesson, and revise this content with a view to the final evaluation. Secondly, to promote the students’ active implication in their own and their peers learning. The results obtained since this pedagogical design has been implemented reflect great advances, inside and outside the Construction subject, that confirm its usefulness and interest as a learning tool. Likewise, the grades of the groups where the pedagogical design has been implemented confirm its success due to the amount of knowledge with which the students overcome the subject. Currently, and at the request of the students, this project continue growing and strengthening for other subjects and degree courses

Education has been integrated into the globalization process supported by technological advances such as e-learning. The sustainability of the universities is one of the key points of the university survival, and they strongly depend on the number of students that can enroll in them. Thus, many of the educational institutions have had to develop their curricula based on the use new technologies. Without a doubt, virtual laboratories are the latest technology in this regard. The objective of this work is to determine which are the main institutions and research trends in relation to virtual laboratories. The methodology followed in this research was to perform a bibliometric analysis of the whole scientific production indexed in Scopus. The world&rsquo, s scientific production has been analysed in the following domains: first the trend over time, types of publications and countries, second the main subjects and keywords, third main institutions and their main topics, and fourth the main journals and proceedings that publish on this topic. After that, a case study was analysed in detailed as a representative country (Spain). The most productive institution in this field, Universidad de Educaci&oacute, n a Distancia (UNED). If the ranking is established by average citations per published paper, the first three institutions are from the USA: Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), University of Washington (Seattle), and Carnegie Mellon University. The scientific categories at world level and in the case of study are similar. First, there is the field of engineering followed by computer science and above all it highlights the wide spectrum of branches of knowledge in which this topic is published, which indicates the great acceptance of this teaching methodology in all fields of education. Finally, community detection has been applied to the case study and six clusters have been found: Virtual Reality, Users, E-learning, Programming, Automatic-robotics, Computer Simulation and Engineering Education. As a main conclusion, bibliographic analysis confirms that research in virtual laboratories is a very active field, where scientific productivity has exponentially increased over recent years in tandem with universities growth. Therefore, expectations are high in this field for the near future. The possibility of virtual laboratories opens up new perspectives for higher education sustainability, where the educational policies of countries could be reoriented.

We present the application of the flipped classroom strategy in two subjects of the degree in Statistics (University of Barcelona-Polytechnic University of Catalonia) and analyse the opinion of students about the experience. The objective is to improve the learning process of statistics by promoting a more active attitude of students in the classroom. The new strategy has been welcomed by students, as most of them are satisfied with the experience. Many of them would like that the stratgy would be applied to a significant number of lessons in the subject, or even in other subjects of the degree. Moreover, students think that it helped them to develop their capacity to organize their study time and their self-learning competence. They also think that with the flipped classroom strategy they learn more than with the traditional classes, but they remark the importance of imcluding a session where the teacher answers the questions and solves the doubts of students to ensure a sucessful implementation.

Nowadays we find ourselves with a scenario marked by a training model that is increasingly complex and extensive over time, which differs considerably from what has been done so far. This raises the need to rethink, review and reconsider the teaching and learning model of the current universities with the aim of "designing" a new teaching model that responds to the new emerging training needs demanded by society at the beginning of the 21st century. These changes in the training model strongly affect the current evaluation processes as it changes not only the way in which it develops, but also changes the object of evaluation, but above all changes the role that evaluation plays in the improvement of said learning processes. The evaluation acquires a new formative dimension, integrating itself in these processes with the objective of regulating them, reorienting them and improving them. To know in greater depth relative theoretical aspects about how this formative evaluation is developed, the agents that intervene or to know its implementation through an experience of university teaching innovation will be the objective of this paper.

La intervención en el entorno urbano y, en general en la ciudad, no solo requiere una capacidad específica de leer y entender su funcionamiento, sino el acierto de encontrar la respuesta adecuada. En otras palabras, la intervención implica necesariamente una interpretación subjetiva y una aportación personal del arquitecto en el diseño. La mejora de la capacidad creativa de los alumnos para intervenir en la complejidad de la ciudad requiere nuevas metodologías de aprendizaje implementadas en el taller que, al refinar la capacidad de razonamiento crítico de los estudiantes, aumentarán sus habilidades para poder resolver posibles problemas urbanos que van a tener que afrontar en el futuro. Este documento tiene como objetivo mostrar una adaptación concreta de una nueva estrategia de enseñanza eficaz, consistente en la combinación de tareas de taller y la progresiva elaboración del e-Portafolio, con el fin de garantizar que los estudiantes adquieran las competencias específicas y transversales necesarias para poder hacer frente a un proyecto urbano con un conocimiento suficiente para abordar la complejidad urbana. Evaluar sus resultados debería permitir, al mismo tiempo, mejorar este tipo de iniciativas y técnicas de aprendizaje. La intervenció en l'entorn urbà i, en general a la ciutat, no només requereix una capacitat específica de llegir i entendre el seu funcionament, sinó l'encert de trobar la resposta adequada. En altres paraules, la intervenció implica necessàriament una interpretació subjectiva i una aportació personal de l'arquitecte en el disseny. La millora de la capacitat creativa dels alumnes per intervenir en la complexitat de la ciutat requereix noves metodologies d'aprenentatge implementades al taller que, en refinar la capacitat de raonament crític dels estudiants, augmentaran les seves habilitats per poder resoldre possibles problemes urbans que van haver d'afrontar en el futur. Aquest document té com a objectiu mostrar una adaptació concreta d'una nova estratègia d'ensenyament eficaç, consistent en la combinació de tasques de taller i la progressiva elaboració de l'e-Portafoli, per tal de garantir que els estudiants adquireixin les competències específiques i transversals necessàries per a poder fer front a un projecte urbà amb un coneixement suficient per abordar la complexitat urbana. Avaluar els resultats hauria de permetre, al mateix temps, millorar aquest tipus d'iniciatives i tècniques d'aprenentatge. Every intervention on urban environments -and in the city in general terms- requires, besides the specific capacity to read and understand it, the ability to find the proper answer. That is to say, the intervention necessarily implies both, a subjective interpretation and a personal contribution of the architect in the design. Enhance the creative capacity of students to intervene on the complexity of the city requires new learning methodologies implemented in the workshop that, by improving significantly the capacity of their critical reasoning, will increase their skills for solving eventual problems that they will have to face up in the future. This paper, aims to show a specific implementation of a new effective teaching strategy, by combining workshop tasks and the e-Portfolio elaboration, in order to ensure that students acquire specific and transversal competences needed to address an urban project with a sufficient cognitive and instrumental background to undertake the urban complexity. Evaluate their results should allow, at the same time, enhance such initiatives and learning techniques.

How we can improve the quality of teaching in the university degree courses? What are the professors’ practices and the beliefs about their role in the students’ learning process? A group of spokespersons of seven Italian Universities has carried out an integrate sources study to answer those questions and to define a programme of activities for developing didactic skills of the teachers. This paper aims to illustrate the design and the results of a research project which involved 4,289 university professors (59% of the target population), who were teaching courses at bachelor and master level during the academic year 2014/15. The data were directly gathered by a CAWI questionnaire which was distributed to the whole teaching staff; the survey results were linked to administrative data related to the educational offer and students’ evaluation of teaching in the same academic year. The results were summarized using some indicators, which showed the diffusion of good practices of teaching, support needs, beliefs, interest and availability of the respondents. We verified the reliability of these indicators and, by means of them, we identified sub-groups of areas of expertise and needs to involve teachers in appropriate different and integrated activities, directed to develop teachers’ professional competences.

En este trabajo se establece un marco conceptual sobre la innovación educativa y sus significados desde las teorías que la sustentan. A través de un análisis documental, se ofrece una descripción de los proyectos y experiencias de innovación avalados/as desde la Universidad de Murcia y la de Granada y desarrollados/as por las Facultades que las forman. El objetivo de presentar la realidad en materia de innovación de ambas Universidades, no es la comparación, sino el que sirvan como muestra de qué está sucediendo en la universidad española en lo que a la innovación respecta. Se puede extraer como conclusión que el impulso que se da a la innovación desde la propia institución universitaria está siendo ingente y que son fundamentalmente cuatro grandes ejes sobre los que pivota: los cambios en las metodologías de enseñanza, las Tecnologías de la Información y la Comunicación, el bilingüismo y la generación y difusión de buenas prácticas. Institucionalmente, también se tiende a fomentar la perdurabilidad de los equipos docentes de innovación y de las propias innovaciones puestas en marcha., This paper provides a conceptual framework on educational innovation and their meanings from the theories that underpin them. Through the documentary analysis, it’s shown a description of the projects and experiences of innovation backed by Universidad de Murcia and Granada developed by the Faculties that form them. The goal of this paper is not to compare both institutions but they are shown as examples of what is happened in Spanish university regarding innovation. It can be extracted as a conclusion that nowadays universities are really pushing innovation processes, mainly around four central concepts: changing teaching methods, the Information and Communication Technologies, bilingualism, and generating and disseminating best practices. Institutionally, it’s also promoted the continuity of teaching teams and innovation projects started up.
