    Gender comparative research on learning strategies applying the cognitive-motor model methodology and VISIR remote lab
    (Wiley, 2019-06-28) Blázquez Merino, Manuel; Plaza, Pedro; López-Rey García-Rojas, África; Sancristobal, Elio; Albert Gómez, María José; Castro Gil, Manuel Alonso
    The research work hereby presented shows some findings about the different ways used by girls and boys, at secondary school, to assimilate the electricity concepts and electric magnitudes to be able to design and assemble electric circuits. The methodology applied to learning, the cognitive-motor model (CMM), is also presented, and it is based on the mutual interaction of cognitive skills and motor capabilities. Students have followed a specific course designed under CMM specifications. The course contains a combination of theoretical activities and practical tasks by means of which cognitive and motor skills have been measured. To carry out the practical tasks, the Virtual Instrument Systems in a reality remote lab have been used by students as the technical resource. In the study, different learning strategies between male and female students, what affects each gender effectiveness, and learning performance have been found.

    Smart Grid: Assessment of the past and present in developed and developing countries
    (ELSEVIER, 2017) Ponce Jara, Marcos Antonio; Ruiz Larrocha, Elena; Gil Ortego, Rosario; San Cristóbal Ruiz, Elio; Pérez Molina, Clara María; Castro Gil, Manuel Alonso; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-4450-4740
    The modern struggle to generate electricity reducing our dependence on fossil fuels and decreasing greenhouse gas emissions has found an ally in Smart Grid technology. This new trend involves a renewed perspective on how to generate, transmit, distribute and manage electricity networks, which not only helps to reduce power demand and cost, but can also improve efficiency, reliability, quality and security. This paper aims to study comprehensively the Smart Grid power system by comparing experiences and success stories from around the world. Developed countries, like the United States and those in the European Union, and developing countries, like India and Brazil, have been taken as examples of the current development and state of the Smart Grid concept. Europe and the U.S. lead the development of Smart Grids systems, while Brazil and India strongly depend on foreign technology and investment for their development in their countries. Climate change represents an extra challenge for developing countries, in addition to other issues related to economic and social advancement. Nevertheless, Smart Grids offer an array of possibilities and opportunities that work towards climate change international goals. However, state motivations and national energy resources limit the advancement of Smart Grids on this matter.

    European Robotics Week to introduce robotics and promote engineering
    (Wiley, 2018-06-28) Plaza, Pedro; Sancristobal, Elio; Carro Fernandez, German; García Loro, Félix; Blázquez Merino, Manuel; Castro Gil, Manuel Alonso; https://orcid.org/0000-0003-2028-5309
    We present an activity framed within the European Robotics Week event. Robotics and computational practice are ideal tools for developing science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) pedagogy. A modular and adaptive hands-on workshop is described in detail. The workshop is based on multiplatform educational robotics content as a first step into the robotics world. Three educational tools are used to introduce examples of robotics applications. The operational details, materials, and examples of activities for selected modules are presented with the expectation that all teachers can adapt these activities to their classes. Despite the small number of students, the experience delivered results that might be useful for other instructors to promote workshops with similar or identical content to generate further benefits. This study demonstrates that it is important to combine theory and practice and include fun tasks that intertwine the challenges of applying theory to problem solving. Furthermore, the results show how the same content can be deployed using three different robotics education tools.
