The effective implementation of this approach has demonstrated benefits in terms of student motivation, student involvement and improved learning.

Academic Training in Spanish Universities for the Didactic Use of Cinema in Pre-School and Primary Education
Journal of Technology and Science Education JOTSE, 2021 – 11(1): 210-226 – Online ISSN: 2013-6374 – Print ISSN: 2014-5349 https://doi.org/10.3926/jotse.1162 ACADEMIC TRAINING IN SPANISH UNIVERSITIES FOR THE DIDACTIC USE OF CINEMA IN PRE-SCHOOL AND PRIMARY EDUCATION Alejandro Lorenzo-Lledó , Asunción Lledó , Gonzalo Lorenzo , Elena Pérez-Vázquez University of Alicante (Spain) [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] Received November 2020 Accepted December 2020 Abstract One of the characteristic features of current society is the relevance of technology and audiovisual media. This fact has generated demands in the educational field to adapt objectives and methodologies to non-textual languages. Among the predominant audiovisual media is the cinema, which has many potentialities as a didactic resource. Therefore, the aim of this study was to find out the training that students of the Teacher’s Degree in Spanish universities receive for the didactic use of cinema through a nationwide research with survey design in which 4659 students, belonging to all the Autonomous Communities and 58 universities, participated. The questionnaire called Perceptions about the potentialities of cinema as a didactic resource in pre-school and primary classrooms (PECID) was designed ad hoc. This questionnaire, which consists of 45 items, has a section that deals with the training received for the educational use of cinema. The Spanish universities offering the Teacher Degree were identified and contacted for the dissemination of the questionnaire. The results obtained showed that 88.4% had not received training. Furthermore, 250 subjects were identified in which film content is taught, mostly in the second and third year and in the area of Didactics and School Organization.

Fuzzy Cluster Analysis on Spanish Public Universities
View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Digital.CSIC 49 Fuzzy cluster analysis on Spanish public universities Davinia Palomares-Montero Adela García-Aracil INGENIO (CSIC-UPV), Spanish Council for Scientific Research [email protected] [email protected] 976 Investigaciones de Economía de la Eduación 5 Fuzzy cluster analysis on Spanish public universities Davinia Palomares-Montero Adela García-Aracil INGENIO (CSIC-UPV), Spanish Council for Scientific Research [email protected] [email protected] The present study tries to provide an alternative approach, by grouping Spanish public universities for the academic year 2006, into clusters that are statistically similar across all criteria, without making any assumptions about the relative importance of each criterion. When using (non fuzzy) clustering techniques, universities can only belong to a group, having a particular performance. But, actually, the same university could be important from different perspectives at the same time, to a different degree. In this sense, a fuzzy clustering approach is applied. With the results, it is possible to know the situation of each Spanish public university at the national context. 1 Introduction Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) around the world are undergoing important changes. Experts in the field of higher education (HE) affirm that the 21st century will be the period of the highest growth in HE in the history of education, with qualitative changes in the system such that HEIs will be forced to make important readjustments in order to fit with public sector financial management systems (Rodriguez Vargas, 2005; Leydesdorff, 2006; Bonaccorsi and Daraio, 2007).
