Teaching statistics has benefited from Java applets, the successful technology that appeared in the late 90s and which allowed real interactivity on an Internet browser. Combining dynamic functionality with the web provides an inspirational complement to the contents of many subjects in undergraduate statistics courses, especially for active learning activities. Since Java applets are becoming obsolete, we explore a different technology based on R (currently a popular statistical language) and Shiny, which is a web framework for developing interactive applications inside the R environment. Although the pedagogical value of these tools has been implicitly accepted so far, our aim is to consider the students' perspective while investigating more suitable means to accompany the use of apps in statistics. We conducted a qualitative study in which we tested 10 of our applications and collected student opinions through questionnaires and regular meetings. Our conclusions indicate that the students view these resources positively, although they demand more support, just enough to facilitate both getting started and using the tools effectively. In addition, programming in R is surely more accessible and satisfying for statistics lecturers than other languages and, consequently, implementing instructional activities can be specially tailored by the teacher.
La investigación sobre las emociones académicas en los procesos de enseñanza-aprendizaje universitarios ha cobrado fuerza en los últimos años. Tras la constatación de la importancia de las mismas, siguen siendo necesario modelos de evaluación e intervención. El objetivo de este informe es presentar el Modelo de Competencia para Estudiar, Aprender y Rendir bajo estrés, así como las variables específicas en las que se centra la evaluación e intervención, como fundamentos de la utilidad de e-Afrontamiento del Estrés Académico. También, se presentan las características esenciales de esta herramienta innovadora de autoayuda, útil para la auto-evaluación y la auto-mejora de los processos emocionales, asociados a las vivencias de estrés, en situaciones de aprendizaje universitario.
Introducción. La autorregulación personal ha sido definida como la capacidad de una persona para planificar, supervisar y dirigir su comportamiento en situaciones de cambio. La confianza académica es un término general que suele considerarse con carácter menos específico de la situación y, como tal, podría ser visto como un constructo de auto-eficacia académica. El Modelo 3P ha establecido diversas variables de presagio, proceso y producto de los alumnos, con una evidencia empírica consistente de estas relaciones. Entre las mismas, la investigación reciente está centrada en el establecimiento del papel de las variables emocionales y sus relaciones con las de carácter motivacional y cognitivo.Método. Un total de 250 estudiantes de la Universidad de Almería (España, correspondientes a segundo y cuarto curso, de Grado y Licenciatura, respectivamente,) participaron en esta investigación. Para la evaluación de la autorregulación personal se evaluó el Cuestionario de Autorregulación, SRQ en su versión española, CARAbreviada y validada en muestras españolas. Para la evaluación de la confianza académica el inventario ABC, validado con muestras españolas. El compromiso-agotamiento se evaluó a través de una versión española validada del Marlach Bournout Inventory Survey-Utrech Work Engegement Scale for Students, con adecuados índices de fiabilidad y validez de constructo. La cumplimentación de los cuestionarios se realizó de manera anónima, en clase y en semanas diferentes. Se utilizo un diseño de investigación de carácter ex post-facto. Los análisis realizados en relación a los objetivos e hipótesis propuestos fueron de asociación (correlaciones bivariadas de Pearson).Resultados. Apareció una relación general de asociación, positiva y significativa, entre la autorregulación personal y la confianza académica (variables presagio) con respecto a al compromiso emocional, engagement (como variable producto), así como negativa con el agotamiento emocional (bournout). También, aparecieron numerosas relaciones significativas específicas.
Abstract.Introduction. Every teaching-learning process aims toward a certain product, which is based on certain objectives and purposes that are to result in the student learning a specific subject matter. This product is called academic performance. Performance has been defined and categorized by different authors. Most research has analyzed performance based on a single global qualification. This tendency to reduce the outcome of learning to a single grade has become one of the main criticisms of research on academic performance. This variable has taken on greater importance in educational research in recent decades, with many variables being studied for their influence on the academic performance of university students. Some of these variables are approaches to learning, self-regulated learning, student attitudes, coping strategies and so on. Method. A total of 1101 students participated in the study (university and candidate students). The analyses made to meet the proposed objectives and test hypotheses were: Association analysis through Pearson bivariate correlations (Association objectives and hypotheses); linear regression analysis (Regression objectives and hypotheses); Cluster analysis, ANOVAS and MANOVAS, with Scheffé post hoc, and effect size estimates (Inferential objectives and hypotheses). Results. A significant associative relationship appeared between self-regulation and satisfaction with learning and performance. In complementary fashion, the level of personal self-regulation had a significant main effect on a high level of satisfaction with learning, specifically in the satisfaction with learning factor and in thoughtful learning, and by high levels of procedural and attitudinal performance. Discussion and Conclusions. The importance of personal self-regulation that determines the degree of cognitive self-regulation during the process of university learning; the relationship between personal self-regulation and the type and quantity of satisfaction with learning, and academic performance.Palabras Clave: Personal self-regulation, satisfaction with learning, academic performance, teaching-learning process
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
