    Exploring application, attitudes and integration of video games: MinecraftEdu in Middle School
    (2015-01-01) Miller, John; Domínguez Garrido, María Concepción; Sáez López, José Manuel; Vázquez Cano, Esteban
    The aim of this study is to assess the use of MinecraftEdu in classroom practice analyzing the outcomes and attitudes of all members of the educational community through a quasi-experimental approach. The research presents three dimensions oriented to assessing the use of this application in a didactic unit “History and Architecture” compared through statistical inference (t-student) to a control group that develops the same unit with slides and traditional expositional methods. The second dimension values the attitudes of teachers, students and parents regarding the implementation of video games in formal education using descriptive analysis and nonparametric statistical inference through the Jonckheere-Terpstra test and the Kruskal-Wallis test, which allows each group ranks to be compared. The third dimension analyzes interactions in a virtual learning environment related to the implementation of MinecraftEdu. Although there are no significant improvements regarding academic outcomes and some parents hold negative attitudes, it is noteworthy that the majority of the sample considered that MinecraftEdu is fun, enhances creativity, develops discovery and is a good application for creating and exploring immersive historical environments.

    El presente estudio analiza la utilización del ordenador portátil y el smartphone por parte de estudiantes universitarios, identificando sus beneficios y aplicaciones académicas. La muestra es no probabilística compuesta por 469 sujetos en 10 universidades, 5 de España y 5 de países iberoamericanos. Se ha empleado una metodología a partir del análisis descriptivo y factorial. Se concluye que existe una mayor presencia del ordenador portátil en el estudio y tareas académicas, mientras que el smartphone está más presente en la comunicación y el entretenimiento. El ordenador portátil tiene más presencia en las funciones instructiva, informativa, colaboradora e ilustrativa, y en actividades de aprendizaje. El smartphone obtiene mejores resultados en lo relativo a las funciones de entretenimiento y comunicación. En cualquier caso, son claros los beneficios y satisfacción en el uso de ambos dispositivos. Esta realidad obliga e impulsa a los docentes hacia una nueva metodología docente, incluyendo la preparación de recursos para ser aprovechados en línea.

    Visual programming languages integrated across the curriculum in elementary school: A two year case study using “Scratch” in five schools
    (Elsevier, 2016-03-05) Sáez López, José Manuel; Román González, Marcos; Vázquez Cano, Esteban
    Several authors and studies highlight the benefits of the integration of Computer Science into K-12 education. Applications such as Scratch have been demonstrated to be effective in educational environments. The aim of this study is to assess the use of a Visual Pro- gramming Language using Scratch in classroom practice, analyzing the outcomes and at- titudes of 107 primary school students from 5th to 6th grade in five different schools in Spain. The intervention takes place in two academic years analyzing the practice of inte- grating coding and visual blocks programming in sciences and arts. The “Computational concepts and computational practices” dimension details a quasi-experimental approach, which showed significant improvement regarding learning programming concepts, logic, and computational practices with an active approach. The “Learning processes and coding in primary education” dimension analyzes the practice of the experimental group through questionnaires and structured observation. In this pedagogical design, students interact and create their own content related to curricular areas with several advantages, such as motivation, fun, commitment, and enthusiasm, showing improvements related to computational thinking and computational practices. Understanding of computational concepts through an active approach, Project Based Learning, usefulness, motivation, and commitment underline the importance and effectiveness of implementing a Visual Pro- gramming Language from active methodologies in primary education. Due to the afore- mentioned benefits and positive results obtained in this research, it is recommended to implement a Visual Programming Language in educational settings in 5th and 6th grade in primary education through a cross-curricular implementation.

    Country Image through Omnipresent Digital Didactics: A Case Study with Mexico
    (Consejo Mexicano de Investigación Educativa, 2016) López Meneses, Eloy; Vázquez Cano, Esteban; Sáez López, José Manuel
    La imagen de un país la conforman múltiples aspectos socioculturales, históricos, políticos, etcétera y se percibe desde fuera principalmente a través de los medios de comunicación y, en especial hoy en día, por medio de Internet. En esta investigación se analiza, a través de una metodología cualitativa en conjunción con el Análisis de Redes Sociales, un estudio de caso en el que profesores y alumnos españoles emplearon teléfonos inteligentes y aplicaciones móviles en la red para conocer y debatir sobre aspectos socioculturales, históricos y geográfi cos de México. Los resultados muestran cómo la imagen de México en los estudiantes españoles de secundaria se ha enriquecido sustancialmente abandonando tópicos preestablecidos; lo que sin duda ha repercutido en una imagen de México más real, completa, interesante y crítica.

    The effect of programming on primary school students’ mathematical and scientific understanding: educational use of mBot
    (Springer, 2019-01-24) Sáez López, José Manuel; Sevillano García, María Luisa; Vázquez Cano, Esteban
    This study highlights the importance of an educational design that includes robotics and programming through a visual programming language as a means to enable students to improve substantially their understanding of the elements of logic and mathematics. Gaining an understanding of computational concepts as well as a high degree of student participation and commitment emphasize the effectiveness of introducing robotics and visual programming based on active methodologies in primary education. Implementation of this design provides sixth-grade elementary education students with activities that integrate programming and robotics in sciences and mathematics; these practices allow students to understand coding, motion, engines, sequences and conditionals. A quasi-experimental design, descriptive analysis and participant observation were applied across various dimensions to 93 sixth-grade students in four primary education schools. Programming and robotics were integrated in one didactic unit of mathematics and another in sciences. Statistically significant improvements were achieved in the understanding of mathematical concepts and in the acquisition of computational concepts, based on an active pedagogical practice that instills motivation, enthusiasm, commitment, fun and interest in the content studied.

    Analysis of PLEs' Implementation under OER Design as a Productive Teaching-Learning Strategy in Higher Education. A Case Study at Universidad Nacional de Educación a Distancia
    (Universidad de Barcelona, 2016-06) Vázquez Cano, Esteban; Martín Monje, Elena María; Castrillo de Larreta-Azelain, María Dolores
    This paper shows some research which analysed the didactic functionality of Personal Learning Environments (PLEs) and Open Educational Resources (OERs). They were created by students from the Master’s Degree in Information and Communication Technologies applied to language teaching and processing, at Universidad Nacional de Educación a Distancia (UNED, Spain). A thorough analysis has been carried out based on a virtual ethnography methodological framework, with a twofold qualitative dimension: on the one hand, by using the Atlas-Ti program and on the other hand by following a reticular, category-based social network analysis with UCINET and yED Graph Editor. Results show that the joint use of PLEs and OERs designed by students improves their digital competence, mainly in capabilities such as: accessing and searching for online information; articulating information needs; finding relevant information; selecting resources effectively; navigating between online sources; and creating personal information strategies. Furthermore, the scrutiny of the forums using the reticular social network analysis shows how the main benefits of the implementation of PLEs and OERs are: a student-centric approach, the development of personal knowledge management strategies and the formation of a self-regulated learning model.

    Peer assessment of language learning resources in virtual learning environments with e-rubrics
    (Inderscience, 2015-04-24) Martín Monje, Elena María; Vázquez Cano, Esteban; Fernández, Miguel; This research project has been developed as part of the VII Edition of Research Networks for Teaching Innovation, put forward by UNED, with the title “Development of e-rubrics for the enhancement of formative assessment in 2.0 foreign language teaching activities”.
    The aim of this paper is to analyze the usefulness of e-rubrics in the peer assessment of resources and materials for foreign language teaching and also in the assessment of language skills, taking into account the work produced by 99 students of the Master’s Degree in Information and Communication Technologies applied to language teaching and processing, at the Spanish National University for Distance Learning (UNED), during the academic years 2012-13 and 2013-14. Following a methodological framework based on virtual, collaborative action-research, a qualitative analysis is applied with a twofold approach: firstly through the use of text frequency techniques and secondly through a reticular, category based social network analysis thanks to UCINET and yED Graph Editor. Results indicate that the use of e-rubrics optimizes self-assessment and the adequacy of assessment criteria. Rubrics foster usefulness in terms of format and connectivity in the audio-visual elements included in digital online resources. Furthermore, e-rubrics are deemed as significantly effective indicators of progress in oral and written production in foreign language learning.
