“…On the other hand, the fundamental equation is the same for the pendulum in inverse position as for the normal position (Matthews et al, 2005). Therefore, students can place the moving part in the normal pendulum position, and make it oscillate over its equilibrium position.…”

HEAd'15. Conference on Higher Education Advances

PrefaceThis volume contains the proceedings of the First International Conference on Higher Education Advances (HEAd'15), which was held in Valencia, Spain during 24-26 June 2015. HEAd aims to become a forum for researchers and practitioners to exchange ideas, experiences, opinions and research results relating to the preparation of students and the organization of educational systems. The conference was hosted by the Faculty of Business Administration and Management of the Universitat Politècncia de València.The conference featured three invited speakers who overviewed important and actual topics: John Kalu Osiri (Washington State University) delivered the presentation on the indispensable role of educators in shaping a nation, Ana Muñoz-Miquel (Universitat Jaume I) on how to bridge the gap between professional practice and university education, and José V. Benlloch-Dualde (Universitat Politècnica de València) on effective ways to enhance collaboration in the classroom.Following the call for papers, HEAd'15 received 165 submissions with authors representing 41 different countries. Papers went through a rigorous review process. Each paper was reviewed by at least two program committee members. Finally, 50 submissions were selected as full papers (representing an acceptance rate of 30%) and 22 submissions were selected as short papers. Additionally, 20 papers were selected to be presented as posters.I would like to thank all the people and institutions who contributed to the success of the HEAd'15 conference: the authors, the members of the program committee as well as the additional reviewers, the invited speakers, the members of the organizing committee, and the sponsors. I am also grateful to Abstract: The international accreditation for the Master and Bachelor degrees offered at our university, together with the demands of the employers, have made it clear that the students' curricula should specify not only what they have studied, but also what they are actually able to do. Although the competence based curricula approach has been used in the development of the new programmes for the Master and Bachelor degrees within the European Higher Education Area in recent years, the assessment of these competences is still a pending task. This work presents an 'outcomes' approach for the assessment of the oral and written communication skills within subjects related to mechanical and materials engineering. In particular, this paper proposes some rubrics developed in order to quantify the level of achievement. These rubrics are based on the evaluation of some learning outcomes that can be observed by using different strategies during the course. Conclusions about preliminary results and the difficulties found in order to create these tools are also described here.

“…La elección de esta actividad se fundamenta en la importancia que el péndulo ha tenido en el desarrollo de la ciencia y de la cultura de occidente (Matthews, Gauld y Stinner, 2005), y por las posibilidades formativas en la enseñanza de las ciencias, reconocidas desde las experiencias de Inhelder y Piaget (1958), por ser una actividad accesible que incluye los diferentes procesos de la metodología científica (Zachos, 2004) y porque en ella pueden fomentarse tanto los factores cognitivos como afectivos (Matthews, 2000).…”

La literatura indica que los futuros profesores, cuando comienzan sus prácticas docentes, arrastran consigo una serie de creencias, actitudes y emociones, resultado del recuerdo de sus diversos años de escolarización. Por tanto, se considera necesario que los profesores en formación reflexionen sobre las emociones que experimentan hacia las ciencias. Para ello, se diseña y se desarrolla un programa de intervención para estudiantes del Máster Universitario de Formación del Profesorado de Educación Secundaria, en las especialidades de Biología/Geología, Física/Química y Matemáticas. Los resultados demuestran que al terminar el programa, de forma general, las emociones que experimentan son positivas, existiendo una ausencia de emociones negativas. Además, su autoeficacia docente ha aumentado y saben utilizar estrategias para autorregularse.

“…Mathematical pendulum (circular), as reported by references [8][9][10], is a body, considered as a particle/bob, suspended in a motionless point by a weightless cord/rod from a frictionless pivot, without friction or air resistance. The weightless rod (meaning its mass may be omitted) of the length 0 l is swinging in a vertical plane under a gravity (Fig.…”

“…At the source of cognitive way of any physical phenomena which occur with variable velocity/intensity between the neighbouring energetic states, there is a general differential description, namely dN N Z dZ     (8) where: dZ  total differential of magnitudes being dependent variables, dN  total differential of magnitudes being independent variables, In solving the differentia equation the initial conditions of any process, and not those connected with the beginning of measurements of determined physical magnitudes, are of importance [16][17][18]. Measurements of these magnitudes is necessary but not a sufficient condition.…”

This work has been performed to verify the existent knowledge on determination of the mass moment. For the experiment, a compound pendulum was used. The motivation to undertake these studies were experimental results indicating a big discrepancy in mass moments between the values coming from calculations using the definition formula and these obtained from the experiment. In relation to the axial moment the relative error equals 23.6 %, whereas regarding the polar moment the error reached 56.4 %. Considering the reason of that discrepancy we could find the existent theory not to be adequate. The theory is then considered in view of verifying first the mathematical pendulum and next the physical/ compound pendulum theory. The consideration has been focused on the description of accelerated motion cycle of both pendulums as it was enough to solve the problem. A source differential equation, which serves to solve any quantum phenomena, was used in the study. Then the course of creation of detailed characteristics of the phase of mathematical pendulum accelerated motion is presented as the basis to derive formula on the mass moment of a compound pendulum. At the end this new adequate theory was verified showing the relative error to be less than one per cent.
