Mobile learning: a collaborative experience using QR codes

The experience presented in this article highlights the educational potential of using mobile learning and QR codes in a secondary physical education classroom to foster healthy physical activity. The experience was designed as a collaborative didactic unit for 13/14 year-old compulsory secondary education pupils from two schools in Barcelona, Spain. The main objective was to simulate a Mount Everest ascent by performing collaborative resistance strength challenges designed by the pupils and converted into QR codes. The total number of strength exercise repetitions that the pupils from both schools managed to do collaboratively simulated the number of metres climbed towards the summit of Mount Everest. The experience was based on qualitative educational research and had a multiple case-study design. Moreover, it used a collaborative methodology to accomplish the challenge. The results obtained show the potential of mobile learning as an emergent educational tool that is capable of facilitating and fostering the teaching-learning process.ResumenLa siguiente experiencia muestra las posibilidades educativas del uso del aprendizaje móvil y de códigos QR en el aula de Educación física de secundaria como herramienta para fomentar la práctica de actividad física saludable.

E-assessment process: giving a voice to online learners

Considering the expansion of active pedagogies that consider the student as the centre of the teaching and learning process, their role during the assessment process cannot be overlooked. That implies a change in the teacher’s role from a communicator of the student’s mark to an open system in which teachers and students get involved in the learning process and develop online assessment skills.From a description of a concrete experience of continuous e-assessment in a subject at the UOC, this paper explores the advantages of the active role of students in the e-assessment of competency acquisition. In this subject, the student is assessed, using a project based learning methodology, from two dimensions provided by continuous assessment: on the one hand, the assessment of the process followed during the development of the activities based on the outcomes of each phase of the projects and process monitoring and, on the other hand, the assessment of the final outcome. Hence, students participate in both the assessment of the process and the final outcome. The process assessment, developed in the framework of teamwork, is produced in a self-assessment process in which both the student and peer participation in a work group are analysed, thereby developing a dynamic peer-assessment. In addition, a process of reflection regarding teamwork is carried out at the end of each phase of the project, based on an interactive process among the members of the group.The evaluation of the results focuses on an interactive assessment based on the analysis of the projects developed by other groups at the final stage of the subject.In order to analyse the students’ perception about the e-assessment methodology and their role during this process, a quantitative and online questionnaire was designed and administered at the final stage of the course. The results revealed a high level of satisfaction with the e-assessment activities of the course and an improvement of the learning process.Considering the expansion of active pedagogies that consider the student as the centre of the teaching and learning process, their role during the assessment process cannot be overlooked.

Imaginarios y jóvenes escolarizados : un encarnamiento deportivizado de la Educación Física en la ciudad de Popayán

La reflexion teorica que compartimos a traves del presente escrito, se constituye en una entrada a la comprension de los hallazgos de la investigacion “Los imaginarios de los jovenes escolarizados ante la clase de Educacion Fisica”. Se intento comprender las nuevas sensibilidades de los jovenes escolarizados en torno a la clase de Educacion Fisica, un imaginario que no solo se recrea en la vida cotidiana de la escuela, sino que se permea en una ecologia de multiples mediaciones.El presente estudio muestra el impacto del uso de la gamificacion como estrategia de aprendizaje en la asignatura de Educacion Fisica para el desarrollo de conductas saludables. El estudio, disenado en forma de unidad didactica gamificada llamada Play The Game se ha implementado en segundo curso de la educacion secundaria obligatoria de tres centros educativos de Barcelona y ha tenido como objetivo principal aplicar la frecuencia cardiaca saludable en la actividad fisica mediante la consecucion de retos gamificados y organizados mediante un sistema de niveles, puntos, clasificaciones y badges. Ademas, Play the Game ha introducido elementos innovadores como la personalizacion, la cooperacion, las emociones, la tecnologia y la combinacion de contextos formales e informales a fin de responder a las demandas educativas actuales y a las nuevas ecologias de aprendizaje (Coll, 2013). El estudio se ha basado en una metodologia sociocritica cualitativa y se ha implementado mediante un diseno de investigacion-accion (I-A). Los instrumentos utilizados han sido el cuestionario y el grupo de discusion. Los resultados obtenidos evidencian el potencial de la gamificacion como estrategia de aprendizaje emergente en educacion fisica que aumenta la motivacion y favorece el desarrollo de habitos saludables

TPACKPEC: DESENHO DE SITUAÇÕES DE APRENDIZAGEM MEDIADAS POR TIC EM EDUCAÇÃO FÍSICA

El presente estudio tiene como objetivo identificar cuales son los elementos clave para disenar situaciones de aprendizaje mediadas por las TIC en Educacion Fisica a traves de la colaboracion docente. Para ello, se ha seguido el modelo de investigacion basada en diseno (IBD) en la que han participado tres docentes y cuatro centros educativos. Las iteracciones entre profesores e investigadores ha resultado en una evolucion continua de los elementos clave, llevando a una tipologia de conocimiento con cuatro categorias: el modelo TPACKPEC. Este modelo es una evolucion del TPACK (KOEHLER; MISHRA, 2009) ya que no solo integra tecnologia, pedagogia y curriculo en las aulas, sino que tambien introduce las competencias emocionales como elementos fundamentales en el proceso de ensenanza y aprendizaje.

Elearning y la educación postmoderna: trayectorias y experiencias del estudiantado virtual

The emergence and dynamics of Elearning in the current scenarios of higher education, evidence of a major transformation occurred in the context of the information society: the use of ICT in the process of knowledge construction. This change has gone together, first, the improvement in the quality and formative offer, an offer that has sought to be more inclusive and representative of current social demands. And secondly, it is a modality that has tried to adapt to the current features of digital and digitized students (Prensky, 2006), whose role in the teaching process, tends to be more active than in traditional training models. This article focuses on this second dimension, analyzing how the Elearning tries to be an element of mediation between the current changes occurring in higher education and the emergence of new virtual students, more active and independent.
