It is the last experimental subject of the degree, and it applies the POL methodology (\"Project Oriented Learning\"). The students carry out experimental sessions, obtaining data that they later use to design an industrial installation based on the laboratory equipment but at a large scale. The course is assessed through the design project and a laboratory report of each experimental session, which is corrected by the teacher and then used as study material for the exam. Although the development of the subject is satisfactory, the teachers do not know the level that the students have about the experiment to be developed at the beginning of the experimental session and, in most of the cases, mistakes or errors of interpretation that they have had during the practice are detected during correction of the report. Therefore, last year lecturers decided to introduce the use of the Socrative tool to conduct surveys to students at the beginning and end of the session, in order to have real-time feedback on the points that should be most emphasized during the practice, as well as the degree of improvement achieved after the session. Socrative allows to carry out surveys in a simple way through the mobile phone, and to know at the same time the results of the assessment. Thus, students know their mistakes in the test before starting the experimental session, which also serves them to assess their level about the topic to develop and pay attention to find out those questions asked in the test in which they have obtained worse results. This work describes the implementation of this teaching innovation in the laboratory, as well as the results obtained and the degree of improvement achieved by comparing the results at the beginning and end of each experimental session. Finally, it is analyzed the usefulness of the innovation, as well as the necessary improvements to continue its application in the future academic courses.","PeriodicalId":318547,"journal":{"name":"INTED2021 Proceedings","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127795456","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In essence, calculating is an intrinsic activity for the engineer and, therefore, for engineering students. How is this activity developed? When we face a real problem we translate it into mathematical language (modelling). We solve the resulting mathematical problem to obtain the mathematical solution (simulation). The analysis of the results allows us to extract information from the real problem. If the interpretation of the results does not fit with the real problem studied, we must rethink the mathematical model obtained, and so on. Teachers often restrict the real problems that students face to simple situations so that the resulting mathematical problem is simple and, if possible, provides an analytical solution. Why should we do this today if we have numerical methods, a big computing power and mathematical software available to our students? Examples of complex mathematical problems arise from analysis and design of heat exchangers, chemical reactors, distillation columns, etc, both in steady and transitory regimes. These mathematical problems can be classified in groups: solving algebraic equations, ordinary differential equations or partial differential equations systems. According to this classification, some teachers of the Chemical Engineering degree at Campus of Alcoy are providing our students with Matlab guide templates to solve these types of mathematical problems, regardless of the subjects in which these problems appear. This action makes it easier for students to face real problems by reducing the mathematical difficulties associated. This paper shows how these Matlab guide templates are and how students use them in different subjects. It allows students to focus on the engineering aspect of the processes, leaving the difficulty of the associated mathematical problem in a second plane. It also makes easy to modify process parameters to quickly see the effect on the main variables of the process (what if? analysis). Consequently, students improve their ability to analyse and interpret the results obtained and their critical thinking skills. And, finally, they know useful computer tools that can be used both academically and professionally.","PeriodicalId":318547,"journal":{"name":"INTED2021 Proceedings","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127836052","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

With no direct access to mentor teachers or to children, teacher education programs were forced to ensure candidates had authentic learning experiences. On a global scale, schools of education were required to rethink teacher preparation and explore innovative approaches. Teacher educators at the school and university level (clinical faculty and mentor teachers) had to interact with student teachers differently. One of the major problems that surfaced was that the field and practice-based courses were not initially designed to be facilitated in an online or remote format. Furthermore, faculty and teacher candidates typically engaged in the work of teaching and learning within school buildings where they had access to children. These problems prompted the academic leadership and faculty in one graduate school of education in the Northeastern United States to engage in deep inquiry and chronicle their lived experiences to produce a qualitative ethnographic self-study. The major questions driving their work were: (1) How to find remote placements for candidates to engage in clinically rich experiences in special education settings for Practicum or student teaching? (2) How to develop alternate assignments for candidates to meet course and state certification requirements? (3) How to prepare clinical faculty to facilitate remote learning experiences? Data collection and quality assurance initiatives included a critical review of the following: quantitative course evaluation data, qualitative student feedback and reflections, clinical faculty observations, outcomes assessment, and reflexive practice data. An analysis of findings revealed the following themes: existing dissonance between methods and field-based curriculum, competing philosophies among stakeholders about what constitutes authentic teaching experiences, and the impact of faculty collaboration and learning communities. Field supervisors indicated that for candidates to be successful they need more face-to-face time and direct interactions to engage in coaching conversations. Additionally, supervisors believed that academic leadership needed to revisit sequencing and scaffolding of opportunities for teaching practice throughout the education preparation program. Doing so would allow for additional touch points to monitor progress as candidates develop competencies and translate theory introduced in foundational courses to the field. This study is significant as its ethnographic nature allows faculty and academic leadership to engage in program evaluation and collaborate closer with school-based practitioners to reframe teacher preparation in the era of COVID. Implications exist for ongoing collaboration and teacher educator professional development in a new format.

If we put this phenomenon in the context of the family, it can be said that bilingual families do not differ in their functions from monolingual ones. The only difference between bilingual and monolingual families is in their communication because bilingual families use two languages instead of one. The process of native language acquisition differs from the process of second language acquisition. This process is contributed by various factors such as parental actions that encourage the development of bilingualism in children, the influence of older siblings and the influence of extended family in native language transmission. Furthermore, different types of bilingualism and the advantages and disadvantages of growing up children in such families are described in literature. The aim of this research was to determine the conditions of growing up in bilingual families from the perspective of parents and children. For the purpose of collecting material for analysis, the interview method was conducted, and the instrument used was a semi-structured type interview. The research included 10 participants, of which five were parents of bilingual children and five were children from bilingual families. The data confirmed the importance of the role of parents in the bilingual planning process. It has been shown that parents most often use conversation, reading books, playing together, watching cartoons, singing songs and video calls with the whole family as motivation for achieving bilingualism in children. In addition, older siblings have been shown to greatly assist parents in transmitting their mother tongue to a younger child, or younger sibling as well as the extended family. The analysis of the respondents' answers showed that they tend to emphasize the advantages of this way of growing up more than the disadvantages. Thus, the advantages include facilitated language acquisition in childhood in comparison with adult acquisition, openness to learning new languages, belonging to different cultures, transmission of traditions, a broader view of the world and better opportunities in the labour market. As disadvantages respondents point out difficulties in explaining, language mixing and distraction in two languages, delayed speech development and shame of incorrect pronunciation.","PeriodicalId":318547,"journal":{"name":"INTED2021 Proceedings","volume":"92 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133754672","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The project promotes the participatory innovation of teenagers and incorporates experiential learning to guide them to the collective design and implementation of a network of the environmental quality sensors of their neighbourhood (air and water monitoring). The process is carried out by professors and is applied to pilot groups of students, and later, the students, based on their experience and learning, teach other students. This way, the replication phase of the innovative methodologies in the educational field is introduced. The interdisciplinary approach merges through games, observation, and data collection. The project has used ICTs tools, due to COVID circumstances. The practical learning has been developed through DIY (construction of sensors) and citizen science. The proposal incorporates innovative learning methodologies such as experiential learning, based on a collective construction of knowledge that brings together all the agents involved. This approach transcends the usual proposals in the educational field. In this case, from the design phase, diverse visions come together to build a conceptual framework on which practical knowledge is built through experience. Further on, Service-learning for UPM students, in the context of secondary education, boots enormous potential for university students to interact with teenagers, performing a service of solidarity while learning and developing technical, transversal, social and ethical skills that will be of great value in their professional and personal development. Among the advantages of this approach, it highlights and increases their motivation and social awareness. The project is a fully scalable proposal with remarkable impact in the target area of Madrid City (Southern Districts). It is developed in critical districts and supported by key stakeholders for further expansion.
