Item Main Gaps in the Training and Assessment of Teamwork Competency in the University Context(Springer, 2023-07-23) Sein-Echaluce, M. L.; Fidalgo-Blanco, Á.; García-Peñalvo, F. J.Individual competencies associated with teamwork are highly demanded in all productive and scientific sectors. International accreditation agen-cies have defined a set of indicators to identify the individual competencies associ-ated with teamwork competence. Practically all universities address the challenge for graduates to acquire teamwork skills in groups and individually. In this context, it is essential to know whether students have acquired teamwork skills before enter-ing the university and what training method they have followed to acquire them. In this research work, a tool has been developed to determine if they have followed procedures that generate evidence of these individual competencies throughout the development of teamwork, as well as the evaluation method used by the teach-ers who have trained them in this competency. The study was carried out on 171 students from two different subjects, degrees, and universities. The results confirm the central hypothesis of the work that the training method used before entering the university is of the “black box” type, where the faculty does not follow the evidence continuously and evaluates only the final result of the work.Item Study of the flexibility of a Learning Analytics tool to evaluate teamwork competence acquisition in different contexts(CEUR-WS.org, 2017-07-04) Conde-González, M. Á.; García-Peñalvo, Francisco J.; Fidalgo-Blanco, Á.; Sein-Echaluce, M. L.Learning analytics tools and methodologies aim to facilitate teachers and/or decision makers with information and knowledge about what is happening in virtual learning environments in a straightforward and effortless way. However, it is necessary to apply these tools and methodologies in different contexts with a similar success, that is, that they should be flexible and portable enough. There exist several learning analytics tools that only works properly with very specific versions of learning platforms. In this paper, the authors aim to evaluate the flexibility and portability of a methodology and a learning analytics tool that supports individual assessment of teamwork competence. In order to do so the methodology and the tool are applied in a similar course from two different academic contexts. After the experiment, it is possible to see that the learning analytics tool seems to work properly and the suggested new functionalities are similar in both contexts. The methodology can be also applied but results could be improved if some meetings are carried out to check how team works are progressing with their tasks.Item The Learning Improvement of Engineering Students using Peer-Created Complementary Resources(Tempus Publication, 2017-03-31) Sein-Echaluce Lacleta, M. L.; Fidalgo-Blanco, Á.; Esteban-Escaño, J.; García-Peñalvo, F. J.In any organization, the individual is considered an issuer of knowledge who can improve corporate knowledge, and learning is considered to be a key factor in promoting the creation of knowledge. As the knowledge of the individual increases, the organization's knowledge also increases. The same happens in educational institutions, but there is a tendency in most educational methodologies to consider the student as a mere recipient of knowledge. This paper presents a model where the student is shown as a knowledge issuer both for their own benefit and for their peers. The key idea is the transfer of knowledge produced by students to organizational knowledge through the knowledge management system the Collaborative Academic Resources Finder (BRACO, for its acronym in Spanish). At the same time, certain quantitative measurement instruments provide insight into student perception of the use of this knowledge in a particular subject in their engineering degree studies as well as the measure of BRACO impact on their learning outcomes. The results of this work show that an experimental group obtained higher scores in tests than a control group. Results also show that BRACO had a significant impact on learning, and students promoted, organized and used the resources generated by fellow students.Item A repository of students’ resources to improve the teamwork competence acquisition(2016-11) Sein-Echaluce Lacleta, M.
