“…The digital revolution during the first decades of the new century have pointed to an educational revolution, with a shift to a complex web of open access, interconnected, interdisciplinary, flexible learning for all with ongoing, universal updates fed by social and technological change. Yet massive open online courses (MOOC) have so far largely failed to deliver, or sufficiently evolve to respond to this promise (Liyanagunawardena, Parslow, & Williams, 2014;Lankshear, 2014) and organising interdisciplinary learning as a coherent whole, rather than a series of disjointed activities, remains difficult (Lin, 2008). Whilst the challenges of rethinking education for the complexities of living in the hyper-connected, digital era are still being addressed, Cameron's (2017) argument that educators are failing to recognise and respond sufficiently to the radical change currently underway needs to be addressed.…”

Since the initial introduction of 3D printing as a prototyping tool for pupils studying practical technology subjects, its use has rapidly expanded over the last few years as educators have started to explore its potential as a teaching tool in diverse subjects. Yet it is possible that its potential as an educational tool lies beyond the innovative subject-specific applications currently under development, in a more expansive role as a catalyst for interdisciplinary educational practices. This chapter considers the possibility that 3D printing provides a platform for interdisciplinary educational experiences, aligned to scholarship on the development of significant learning experiences grounded in practice and the empowering of learners through changing relationships in the classroom, for engagement with complex problems across traditional subject boundaries.

“…It is important to consider the connection between lung function and motor function as one link in a larger chain of events. A wider-angle interdisciplinary lens, incorporating both physical and cognitive components, is required to fully understand the trajectory of functional consequences that over time lead from independence to dependence [6,28]. Studies have found relationships among personality, cognition, lung function, and motor function in various configurations of predictor and outcome in both cross-sectional and longitudinal analyses [3,10,12].…”

Role of motor function and lung function in pathways to ageing and decline

Background Extensive research has investigated the association between age changes in various domains, including lung function and motor function. However, a few analyses have tested models that incorporate bidirectional longitudinal influences between lung and motor function to test the temporal chain of events in the disability process. Dual change score models (DCSM) assist with identification of leading indicators of change by leveraging longitudinal data to examine the extent to which changes in one variable influence subsequent changes in a second variable, and vice versa. Aims The purpose of the current-analysis study was to apply DCSM to data from the Swedish Adoption/Twin Study of ageing to examine the nature of the longitudinal relationship between motor functioning and lung function. Methods Three motor functioning factors were created from 20 performance measures, including measures of balance, flexibility, and fine motor skills. Peak expiratory flow measured lung function. Participants were 829 adults aged 50-88 at the first of 9 waves of testing covering a 27-year follow-up period; 80% participated in at least three waves. Results Model comparisons indicated that decline in lung function preceded and contributed to subsequent decline in motor function. Discussion Combined with previous results, these results suggest that declining lung function results in increasing difficulties in motor function, which contribute to subsequent declines in multiple domains. Conclusion Understanding the cascade of events that can lead to dependence can help in the development of interventions targeted early in the disablement process.

“…En consecuencia, se alude al potencial que genera desarrollar experiencias en las que los contenidos se conecten y se presenten de manera que hagan referencia a situaciones reales y plenas de sentido; así se ganaría en comprensión y aplicabilidad, Lin (2008); Wall & Shankar (2008); Cuadrado, Ruiz Molina & Coca (2009); Gómez (2009). Bajo este contexto surge el Aprendizaje Basado en Investigación (ABI), comprendido como una herramienta que busca desarrollar en los estudiantes cada uno de los aspectos mencionados anteriormente, principalmente la autoeficacia, tal como la establece Bandura (1997) quien la define como la creencia en la propia capacidad para organizar y ejecutar los cursos de acción requeridos para producir determinados resultados.…”

El Artículo describe la implementación de una experiencia piloto desarrollada con profesores de Educación Física que cursan un diplomado en Aprendizaje y Motricidad Infantil en la Universidad Santo Tomás, Sede Valdivia en Chile. La experiencia se desarrolló con la metodología de Aprendizaje Basado en Investigación (ABI) la cual se implementó en el primer módulo del diplomado “El valor del juego en la Enseñanza-Aprendizaje”. Los resultados demostraron que los estudiantes obtuvieron niveles de desempeño sobresalientes de acuerdo a las calificaciones obtenidas, lo que da cuenta de una adecuada aplicación de la metodología ABI en este tipo de programas de formación continua, implicando con ello el desarrollo del ámbito investigativo en su quehacer profesional.Abstract: This article describes the implementation of a pilot experience developed with Physical Education teachers who attend a course in Child Learning and Motricity at the Universidad of Santo Tomás in Valdivia, Chile. The experience was developed using the methodology of Research-Based Learning (ABI), which was implemented in the first module of the diploma "The value of games in Teaching-Learning". Results showed that students had outstanding performance levels, in accordance with the grades obtained. This suggests an adequate application of the ABI methodology in this type of continuous training programs, thus implying the development of the field of research in their profession.
