Item Empowering preschool teachers and parents for digital education: Influence of the pandemic on children and preschools(IEEE, 2022-11-17) García-Holgado, L.; Vázquez-Ingelmo, A.; García-Holgado, A.; García-Peñalvo, F. J.; Simsek, E.; Kimav, A. U.; Pekarkova, S.; Arx, E. v.; Vasilevska, M.; Huijghe, R.; Öbekci, R.In addition to its impact on daily and work lives, the COVID-19 pandemic has significantly affected education delivery. According to UNESCO, nearly 90% of the world’s student population has had their learning experiences disrupted by precautions and policies implemented to overcome the spread of the disease. The project “Home, but not alone: Home, but not alone: Empowering preschool teachers and parents for digital education”, a European funded project focused on the exchange of good practices to improve preschool education throughout Europe, will mitigate educational losses by supporting teachers and parents who are the main providers of education for young children. This work describes the actions made to analyse the influence of the pandemic on children and preschools.Item ICT methodologies for teacher professional development in Erasmus+ projects related to eLearning(IEEE, 2021-09-30) Alonso de Castro, M. G.; García-Peñalvo, F. J.The European Union promotes the development of European projects that provide relevant information on the methodologies used at educational level through different programs, including the Erasmus+ Programme. These projects are the source of inspiration for the research that gives rise to this article among others. This paper focuses on how teachers’ professional development is approached using technologies within European projects related to eLearning under the umbrella of Erasmus+. The results show a greater representation of projects from the school education and vocational education and training fields. As its main results it could be highlighted that the most predominant ICT resources used by the teachers are those linked with office automation management, basic skills, and presentations as well as platforms for collaboration; those related to video and photo edition, the use of network resources and digital learning environment also stand out. Besides regarding ICT training the most frequent activities are “training by another teacher who has attended a course on ICT” and “Observation practices to other teachers who use ICT in their teaching”. Variations between educational sectors are detected that may be the reason for a more in-depth investigation.Item Most used ICT methodologies for student learning in Erasmus+ projects related to eLearning(IEEE, 2021-09-23) Alonso de Castro, M. G.; García-Peñalvo, F. J.European projects provide very valuable information on the methodologies that are being used at an educational level in different countries of the European Union and associated countries, for this reason this article focuses on how students' learning is approached through technologies within European projects related to the field of eLearning. The information provided is the result of the research that is being carried out on the PhD work within the GRIAL group of the University of Salamanca. The results show a greater representation of projects from the school and VET sectors and that the predominant ICT tools used by the students are those connected to office automation management, basic skills as well as the use of network resources and platforms for collaboration, and digital educational games, with small differences between educational fields.Item The Digital Competence of Pre-Service Educators: The Influence of Personal Variables(MDPI, 2021-02-20) Cabezas-González, M.; Casillas-Martín, S.; García-Peñalvo, F. J.Currently, 21st century students need competences that enable them to adapt to a new type of individual information and individual knowledge relationship, and, therefore, the education system should contemplate new ways for learners to develop in accordance with this so-called information and knowledge society. One of special importance is so-called digital competency. This article presents the results of a research study to determine the influence that the variables of gender, age, and academic degree have on the acquisition of digital competence by pre-service educators, with a sample of 370 students from different education degrees from the University of Salamanca (Spain). A quantitative methodology was used, employing a non-experimental method and the electronic survey technique to collect information on the dimensions of knowledge, as well as the management of and attitude towards information and communication technologies (ICTs). Data were analyzed inferentially from a comparison of means using nonparametric tests. This analysis was completed with the incorporation of Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curves, which allowed us to graphically verify the differences between the subsamples and thus compare the different groups in relation to the proposed dimensions. The main conclusion was that the three variables studied can be considered as influential, though not determinant, in the acquisition of digital competency.Item TEEM17. Track: Educational Innovation(ACM, 2017-10-18) Fidalgo-Blanco, Á.; Sein-Echaluce, M. L.The track Educational Innovation of the International Conference Technological Ecosystems for Enhancing Multiculturality (TEEM), brings together, under the covering of the innovation, a diversity of themes from the tracks of the conference. The analysis of the educational innovation should be seen from three types: innovation in the classroom, institutional innovation and innovation in R+D+i projects. This paper presents a grouping of papers, accepted in this track of TEEM’17, under the two first types and classified in three lines of work: information and communication technologies, contents, methodologies and new services.Item Electronic devices and web 2.0 tools: usage trends in engineering students(Tempus Publication, 2017-03-31) Humanante Ramos, P. R.; García-Peñalvo, Francisco J.; Conde-González, M. Á.Personal Learning Environments or PLE are student centred spaces, which take into account theirs needs, learning styles and preferences. These spaces appear as important alternatives to overcome the shortcomings encountered with the use of institutional platforms. On the other hand, there is widespread use of mobile electronic devices and Web 2.0 tools among university students, mainly for communication and leisure activities, but that could be used for educational purposes. This research aims to make a diagnosis on access to and use of electronic devices and the web tools by students of the degree of Systems Engineering and Computer Science at Faculty of Engineering at the National University of Chimborazo in Ecuador, from the viewpoint of PLE. A methodological level corresponds to a quantitative and non-experimental research, ex-post-facto. The results show certain trends in the types of devices and their frequency of use, as well as their preferences for the tools to obtain and to find information, not only to create but to edit content and communicate with others, where they prioritize the use of certain social networks and some tools of synchronous and asynchronous communication. One of the main conclusions of this study mentions the huge potential currently offered by Web 2.0 tools to structure the PLE of college students, as well as the great potential for integration with mobile device.Item Creación de contenidos innovadores y herramientas para el docente en contextos TIC.(2015) Bosom Nieto, Ángeles; Baño Egea, Juan Jesús; Ezquerro-Rodríguez, Esther; Seoane-Pardo, Antonio M.Item What Computational Thinking Is(2016) García-Peñalvo, Francisco J.Item Learning management system: Evolving from silos to structures(2014) García-Peñalvo, Francisco J.; Alier Forment, MarcItem Mobile Apps for Older Users – The Development of a Mobile Apps Repository for Older People(2014-06) García-Peñalvo, Francisco J.; Conde-González, M.
