Contact: Urbano Dominguez, University of Valladolid and Pieter De Vries, TU Delft 16:30 - 18:30 Open workshop SEFI Working Group on Continuing Engineering Education “Preparing engineers for the challenges of global work teams: a workshop” There is a new sociology being born in the world of work as individuals find themselves increasingly in teams that are cross-cultural in nature and that interact in virtual, technology-driven environments. It is a reality that is changing the face of the “workplace.” Are we preparing our engineers to work effec- tively in these settings? Companies that seek to be competitive in the global marketplace must factor an ability to succeed in these environments into their leadership equations and organizational capabilities, and universities must consider how they prepare individuals for the new world-of-work realities. In this workshop, we explore the characteristics of distributed teams, the cross-cultural and virtual skills required for success, and consider some of the key factors that we know contribute to successful global teams. Participants will be challenged to consider if their own engineering education programs are preparing students for this environment. A video case study of a global team provides an engaging and insightful centrepiece for this highly interactive workshop. Target Audience: This workshop is appropriate for anyone involved in the provision of engineering education / technical education to students. It will be valuable to those providing programmes at all levels: undergraduate, graduate and professional education. Contact: Kirsti Miettinen, Aalto University 4 / 2013 3 16:30 - 18:30 Open workshop SEFI Working Group on Sustainability The working group sustainability in engineering will allow the participants to exchange about their practices to promote sustainable development in their teachings /institutions. Last year a particular focus had been put on transdisciplinary multicultural projects and on the work with association of stu- dents. Contact: Anne-Marie Jolly, Polytech’Orléans 17:00 - 18:00 Open workshop SEFI Working Group on Ethics and Engineering Education The workshop on ethics and engineering education will provide participants with an opportunity to consider: 1) practices for the wider engagement of engineering faculty in ethics education, 2) current research needs and questions in ethics education, and 3) future initiatives and strategy of the Working Group. Interactions with related groups / initiatives on, for example, gender and diversity, sustainability and leadership development will also be considered. Contact: Esat Alpay, Imperial College London 19th of September 10:00 - 13:00 Open workshop SEFI Working Group on Gender and Diversity On the occasion of SEFIs anniversary we will look back and consider the development and success of women in engineering / gender & diversity in Engineering Education. All participants may take part with stories, data, concepts and best practice. In the centre of discussion will be the question how gen- der and diversity can be linked mandatory and sustainable in the field of engineering education and engineering education research. Contact: Susanne Ihsen, TU Munich Post-conference workshops on 20 September 8:30 - 17:00 SASICE workshop 13:00 - 15:00 Open workshop SEFI Working Group Physics and Engineering Education “Assessment in the Physics Lab: How and what?” Assessment is a hot topic, the assessment of laboratory activities, however, remains a less studied re- search domain. We would like to start the discussion with a contribution of each participant: which learning outcomes do you aim at in your physics lab and how do you evaluate the degree of attain- ment? The resulting overview will be complemented with pros and contras and compared with results found in literature. We hope that everybody will return home with a basket full of ideas and/or some extra arguments on what to change and what to retain of the current situation. Contact: Greet Langie, KU Leuven During the annual conference the “40 YEARS OF LEADERSHIP AND RECOGNITION” event is organised on 19th September afternoon at the Arenberg Castle, “Salon” of the Dean, KU Leuven, in the context of the SEFI Annual Conference and Celebration of the 40th SEFI Anniversary.

It is obtainable at the SEFI HQ at the price of € 25 for members, and € 40 for non members. Through policy descriptions and strategy statements, this publication reveals what is happen- ing behind the scenes on the EU, as well as national and institutional levels. The many practical cases presented manifest the concrete efforts put to materialising the Knowledge Triangle: cre- ating more synergy between research, education and innovation. The recent research findings shared open the curtain to what innovativeness means, how it could be fosterd, and why it is imperative in advancing the sustainable Knowledge Society. In a series of projects such as EUGENE EU Academic network project, workshops and conferences, all focussing on the triple play of research, education and innovation, the authors were able to share their common understandings and to develop and create advanced new concepts. This book brings together their lessons learnt in an interesting com- pilation of articles, reflecting the authors consolidated knowledge together with some brand new insights.

  • SPANISH COOPERATION on MATHEMATICS 2013 Next Activities Are Reported by Mercedes Siles and Begoña Vitoriano, Secretary and Pres
    SPANISH COOPERATION ON MATHEMATICS 2013 Next activities are reported by Mercedes Siles and Begoña Vitoriano, secretary and president of the Commission for Development and Cooperation of the CE-MAT (Spanish Committee of Mathematics). We are sure that they are not all the Spanish cooperation developed in Mathematics with developing countries, but it can be seen a good approximation. As a general framework of cooperation, it should be remarked that Spain through the Ministerio of Economía y Competitividad is one of the supporters of CIMPA, and the different Spanish mathematical societies are member of CIMPA. LATINAMERICA 1) Spain-Central America One of the most ambitious processes in this region is a Central-American PhD programme on Mathematics. Putting together all their forces (PhDs in Panamá, El Salvador, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Honduras, Costa Rica and Dominican Republic) a common programme is being designed to be developed jointly. Several difficulties have to be solved because the different regulations of PhD studies in the different countries, but it looks that finally is going to be a reality, beginning in University of Panamá in 2014, with students and professors from different countries. It is expected that in 2015 it will begin also in El Salvador. Because the lack of enough PhDs in a country, they have designed a programme in which the students will take some courses in their original countries or other ones, but the thesis will be supervised by any of the professors included in the joint programme, depending on the speciality. Spanish professors are involved assisting to the design of the programme in different countries (Mercedes Siles in Panamá, Begoña Vitoriano, Javier Gallego and Juan Tejada in El Salvador…), adapted to the needs of each country.

  • 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.
