Item Empleabilidad de los titulados universitarios en España. Proyecto OEEU(Ediciones Universidad de Salamanca, 2018-03-31) Michavila, F.; Martínez, J. M.; Martín-González, M.; García-Peñalvo, Francisco J.; Cruz-Benito, JuanEn los últimos años, el fomento de la empleabilidad y la adquisición de competencias se ha convertido en una de las prioridades de las universidades en el marco del Espacio Europeo de Educación Superior. Esto ha supuesto un nuevo impulso para afrontar las crecientes dificultades relacionadas con la inserción laboral de los titulados y los desajustes entre la formación recibida y los requisitos de los puestos de trabajo. En el nuevo paradigma educativo, las competencias se han convertido en la referencia a partir de la cual se organiza, planifica y evalúa el aprendizaje, y las agencias de calidad encargadas de evaluar los planes de estudio han introducido nuevos criterios ligados a la empleabilidad y la inserción laboral. Sin embargo, en España la información sobre muchos de estos temas es insuficiente, especialmente en cuanto a las competencias que se necesitan a lo largo de la vida laboral y la aportación de la universidad en su adquisición, los factores que determinan el acceso al empleo y la estabilidad laboral, la satisfacción con el trabajo y con la formación recibida, la idoneidad de las metodologías educativas utilizadas, o los desajustes entre la educación y el empleo. Con esta finalidad, en el año 2012 se creó el Observatorio de Empleabilidad y Empleo Universitarios. El objetivo de este artículo es la presentación de los resultados de esta iniciativa sistémica de política universitaria encaminada al seguimiento y a la medición de la empleabilidad y el empleo de los universitarios en España.Item Transferring knowledge and experiences from informal to formal learning contexts(2014) García-Peñalvo, Francisco J.; Griffiths, DaiItem Rethinking informal learning(2015-10) García-Peñalvo, Francisco J.; Griffiths, D.Informal learning has been always an important source of knowledge, perhaps the most important at the workplace, but its own informal nature has caused difficulties to be recognized and introduced in the “official” ways of training and certification. TEEM conference has paid special attention to the problems associated with informal learning from the first edition of this event, and now this track continues with this significant tradition with the aim of rethinking the informal learning basis.Item Using informal learning for business decision making and knowledge management(2014) García-Peñalvo, Francisco J.; Conde-González, M. Á.The process of making decisions in businesses requires, amongst other things, the efficient management of information related to employees competencies. However it is not sufficient to deal with competencies acquired in institutional contexts, as employees also achieve competencies through informal learning activities outside the organizations. If an organization is to make well informed decisions, it must therefore gather information about the external activities of its employees which contribute to their competence development. This paper proposes a methodology to facilitate the identification and recognition of an employee's informal learning instances, supported by a technological framework. To validate the methodology, a pan-European project has implemented it and a panel of experts has evaluated how it works. The main findings from this study suggest that although it is possible to make decisions on the basis of informal learning instances, both the methodology and tools used should be flexible enough to satisfy the needs of the organization.Item Enhancing informal learning recognition through TRAILER project(2013-09-24) Conde-González, M. Á.; García-Peñalvo, Francisco J.; Zangrando, Valentina; García-Holgado, Alicia; Seoane Pardo, Antonio M.; Alier Forment, Marc; Galanis, Nikolas; Griffiths, Dai; Johnson, Mark; Janssen, Jose; Brouns, Francis; Vogten, Hubert; Finders, Anton; Sloep, Peter; Marques, Maria Arcelina; Viegas, Maria C.; Alves, Gustavo R.; Waszkiewicz, Elwira; Mykowska, Aleksandra; Minovic, Miroslav; Milovanovic, MilosThe evolution of new technology and its increasing use, has for some years been making the existence of informal learning more and more transparent, especially among young and older adults in both Higher Education and workplace contexts. However, the nature of formal and non-formal, coursebased, approaches to learning has made it hard to accommodate these informal processes satisfactorily. The project aims to facilitate first the identification by the learner (as the last responsible of the learning process), and then the recognition by the institution, in dialogue with the learner, of this learning. To do so a methodology and a technological framework to support it have been implemented. This project have been tested in several context and it is possible to say that an informal learning dialogue between learners and people in chargé of the institutions is possibleItem Managing Informal Learning in professional contexts: the learner’s perspective(2013-09-24) Marques, Maria Arcelina; Viegas, Maria C.; Alves, Gustavo R.; Zangrando, Valentina; Galanis, Nikolas; Janssen, Jose; Waszkiewicz, Elwira; Conde-González, M. Á.; García-Peñalvo, Francisco J.Informal Learning is present in everyone's life but its awareness only recently has been reported. The need to keep track of the knowledge acquired this way is increasing as its sources diversity also increases. This work presents the pilots trials on the use of a tool developed to help keeping track of the learners’ informal learning, within a number of companies spread out in three countries. This tool developed through the European Commission funded project TRAILER, is still under development, which will allow integrating the set of improving suggestions obtained from users during the piloting phase. The overall idea of managing one’s informal learning was well accepted and welcomed, which validated the emerging need for a tool with this purpose.
