Item How to share the leadership competence among the team members in active learning scenarios: Before, during and after COVID-19 pandemic(2023-08-14) Fidalgo-Blanco, Á.; Sein-Echaluce, M. L.; García-Peñalvo, F. J.; Balbín, A. M.Teamwork is one of the most demanded generic competencies by international organizations, and higher education institutions train and assess that competence to prepare students for working life. Leadership is a crucial part of teamwork development, and previous research has shown that shared leadership tasks between team members present more advantages than the traditional concept of a formal leader. Shared leadership seems to be the best option in the academic context due to the university students’ characteristics. This paper aims to prove that students can identify, distinguish and exercise shared leadership actions based on the needs that arise during the development of teamwork and that derive from the teamwork method applied rather than by the training modality that is followed (face-to-face – online). The achievement of the aim has been possible through a qualitative study of the teamwork development of 40 teams of new university entrance (237 students) with the Comprehensive Teamwork Competency Formation Model. The research has been carried out during three consecutive academic courses, with different training modalities for each course, forced by the COVID-19 pandemic (face-to-face for the pre-COVID-19 course, online for the COVID-19 course and face-to-face during the post-COVID-19 course). The shared leadership tasks and responsibilities, defined by students, were categorized in the same way independently of the training modality, which validates the proposed ontology. Also, the three academic courses studied the evolution of the primary shared leadership responsibilities by category. Besides, it is concluded that the primary responsibilities for each category remained unchanged during the three academic years but that some other categories were affected to some extent by the exceptionality caused by COVID-19. The ontology validated here constitutes a recommendation for future teams working with an evidence-based methodology.Item Global Impact of Local Educational Innovation(Springer, 2020-07-19) Sein-Echaluce, M. L.; Fidalgo-Blanco, Á.; García-Peñalvo, F. J.; Balbín, A. M.The innovation is carried out according to the demands or needs of an industrial, social or economic sector and is aimed at the widest possible target audience. In teaching educational innovation, the demand for innovation is very local, it is generated in each subject and for the students of it. This causes that educational innovation cannot be easily transferred between subjects. But, to meet the demands of an educational sector, the target audience for which innovation is designed must be global. The objective of this work is to study whether teaching educational innovation can be considered globally (for a global target audience and for a need in the education sector), so that it can be applied and transferred between subjects from different contexts. The information provided, during 8 training courses, by 130 university professors belonging to 12 different universities has been analyzed. It has been shown that for a given need for improvement (passive habit in students), the profile of the target audience, the demand of the learning sector and the indicators to measure educational innovation can be raised in a common way for an entire educational sector; in this case, higher education. The conclusion is that educational inno-vation can be designed globally, applied locally and transferred to other contexts.Item A method to propose good practices of teaching educational innovation(ACM, 2019-10-16) Fidalgo-Blanco, Á.; Sein-Echaluce, M. L.; García-Peñalvo, F. J.; Balbín, A. M.The MAIN method for the application of educational innovation was designed to make it easier for teachers to apply educational innovation so as to achieve a good practice of educational innovation. In this work the mentioned method is used not to apply educational innovation but to make a proposal of educational innovation that has great possibilities of becoming a good innovation practice. Twenty-four professors have made proposals for educational innovation following the MAIN method. Once these proposals were presented, teacher’s perception of the processes of the method was studied, as well as the effort to develop the different phases of the proposal following the MAIN method.
