- The microcybergames and the learning of the Social Sciences: The java world(2003) Raña, Juan CarlosThe possibilities and didactic limitations of the computer games stand out. The utility of the microcybergames in the educative surrounings of Internet is put of relief. In Java, the designs of the microcybergames are studied, emphasizing the advantages of predesigned applet over the ones generated by some author created tools. A selection of flexible and gratuitous applet with possible didactic use is made. Examples of applications of these applets in proper contents of Social Sciences in the no university curricula are incorporated.
- Differential analysis of indicators of achievement in objective tests(2003) Matas Terrón, AntonioOften objective tests to evaluate student qualifications are used. However, the selection between different evaluation criteria is in the hands of teachers or evaluators preferences. This investigation offers, briefly, a revision of some strategies utilized for objective evaluation. We also present other alternative strategies to the most classical ones. Afterwards, the strategies of evaluation have been analized with data from 114 subjects, who were evaluated with a test. The results suggest there are two kinds of strategies, one where only students' performance are evaluated, and other, where the test and the students are evaluated at the same time. We also show the fail of concordance between the indicators used
- Participation in family work: social and educational challenge(2003) Maganto, Juana María; Bartau, Isabel; Etxeberria, JuanWe present the conclusions of an exploratory, descriptive and comparative study conducted in the Basque Country with a total sample of 1651 families (children (N=1651), mothers (N= 1043) and fathers (N=873) ). This study analyses the nature of the parents' and children's participation in household work. We conclude that all the family members attach great importance to their own contribution to household work as well as to that of other family members'. However, the nature of their participation differs in the following aspects: 1) in general, mothers tend to take on most household tasks, thus, we can state that mothers do have an overload of work in comparison with other family members; 2) fathers' participation in household tasks is occasional and sporadic as far as most tasks are concerned; and 3) children's participation increases with age. We find a number of practical educational implications in order to contribute to the family's favoring roles equality and balance with regard to family life work .
- A strategy to improve the comprehension and learning in morphological science: Powerpoint presentation(2003) Carranza, Miriam L.; Celaya, GabrielaIn this paper, a hypertext to the Morphological Sciences in biological area was developed and evaluated. The application with format of digital atlas approaches Anatomical, Histological and Functional concepts about the man and animals in integrated form. PowerPoint presentation was developed to operators which experience in the handling of software are limited. This digital resource was qualified as a good complement of other didactic materials. In this knowledge area offers opportunity to develop significant knowledge to improve the understanding and learning through an interactive methodology.
