University dropout is a global problem with pernicious social and economic effects. The various university systems in developed countries illustrate the seriousness of the issue. In Spain, through the annual reports of Data and Figures of the Spanish University System published by the Ministry of Education, Culture and Sport. The situation of Spain in the developed countries as a whole, with a comparative perspective and the global dimension of the problem, is dealt with in successive reports by the Ministry of Education, Culture and Sport. The successive reports of the OECD and the EU through Eurostat deal with the situation of Spain in a comparative perspective and the global dimension of the problem.
In a world where gender-based violence remains an alarming global issue, with statistics revealing high rates of physical and sexual violence against women, the need for effective intervention is paramount. Grounded in the multifaceted approach advocated by international expert groups, Comprehensive Sexuality Education for Gender-Based Violence Prevention strives to illuminate the vital relationship between comprehensive sexuality education and the prevention of gender-based violence among young people. This book delves into the critical aspects outlined in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by addressing the urgent call for expansive, multi-sectoral interventions. Drawing from a wealt...
This book presents the latest research on Ambient Intelligence (AmI) presented in the 14th International Symposium on Ambient Intelligence (ISAmI 2023). Among others, interested researchers can find works on the recognition of emotions and life conditions; smart applications for improving people’s quality of life and safety; smart cities and territories; as well as advances in data semantics, organization, and privacy, among others. The symposium was organized by the Universidade do Minho (Portugal), the Universitat Politècnica de València (Spain), the University of Granada (Spain), the National Institute of Informatics (Japan), the Instituto Superior de Engenharia do Porto (Portugal), the Universidad de Salamanca (Spain), and with the AIR Institute (Spain) as sponsor. The present edition was hosted by the LASI and Centro Algoritmi of the University of Minho in Guimarães (Portugal) from July 12 to 14, 2023.
There has recently been a societal push to better achieve equity for all, with many bringing to light the bias, racism, and discrimination that many factions face on a daily basis. Naturally, integrating diversity and social inclusion thoughts into the classroom is one of the best ways to start changing the mindset of society and promoting more inclusive practices in the next generations. Therefore, diversity and social inclusion have become common approaches in the planning and management of primary, secondary, and higher education schools in many international contexts. However, there are certainly challenges that must be overcome in developing these new practices and their implementation ...
Education is the cornerstone of any society; it serves as one of the foundations for many of its social values and characteristics. mis4TEL’23 promotes the interaction among the scientific community to discuss applications of Technology Enhanced Learning solutions targeting not only cognitive and social processes but also motivational, personality, or emotional factors. In addition, current trends concerning the use of artificial intelligence can help and augment learning opportunities for learners and educators. The 13th International Conference on Methodologies and Intelligent Systems for Technology Enhanced Learning (mis4TEL’23) technical program includes 26 contributions (13 full papers and 13 short papers). mis4TEL’23 is hosted by the LASI and Centro Algoritmi of the University of Minho (Portugal). The authors would like to thank all the contributing authors, the members of the Program Committee, National Associations (AEPIA and APPIA), and the sponsors (AIR Institute and Camara Municipal de Guimarães).
Research on history education and historical thinking is becoming increasingly relevant internationally. The need for a renewal of history education is not only justified by the epistemology of history itself, but also by the demand for a methodological change in education in general, making students active protagonists in the construction of their learning and based on the development of competencies. Further study on the potential use of gamification within social studies and humanities education is required to understand its benefits and challenges. Cases on Historical Thinking and Gamification in Social Studies and Humanities Education proposes and analyzes gamification as a pedagogical innovation that can enable the renewal of the teaching and learning process of history, facilitating the active learning of historical thinking concepts while influencing students' conceptions of history as a discipline and as a school subject. Covering key topics such as historical thinking, social sciences, video games, and mobile learning, this reference work is ideal for historians, policymakers, researchers, scholars, academicians, practitioners, instructors, and students.
The present book brings together experience, current work, and promising future trends associated with distributed computing, artificial intelligence, and their application in order to provide efficient solutions to real problems. DCAI 2023 is a forum to present applications of innovative techniques for studying and solving complex problems in artificial intelligence and computing areas. This year’s technical program presents both high quality and diversity, with contributions in well-established and evolving areas of research. Specifically, 108 papers were submitted, by authors from 31 different countries representing a truly “wide area network” of research activity. The DCAI 23 technical program has selected 36 full papers in the main track and, as in past editions, there will be special issues in ranked journals. This symposium is organized by the LASI and Centro Algoritmi of the University of Minho (Portugal). The authors like to thank all the contributing authors, the members of the Program Committee, National Associations (AEPIA, APPIA), and the sponsors (AIR Institute).
Este libro se adentra en el corazón de la formación docente, explorando cómo podemos cultivar las habilidades y competencias necesarias para que los educadores se conviertan en agentes de cambio social efectivos. Desde el desarrollo de habilidades de liderazgo y trabajo en equipo hasta la promoción de la empatía y la conciencia cultural, cada capítulo ofrece ideas valiosas sobre cómo fortalecer la capacidad de los docentes para abordar los problemas sociales y promover la justicia y la equidad en sus prácticas educativas.

El liderazgo educacional como proceso de influencia en las personas busca el respaldo en las actividades que se convocan al interior y exterior de las instituciones desde objetivos y metas comunes, este proceso cobra relevancia en la planificación y organización de la socialización de los resultados científicos derivado de organizaciones como es el caso de la Red Iberoamericana de Investigación en Liderazgo y Prácticas Educativas (RIILPE). La consolidación del trabajo en red ha provocado el desarrollo y realización del Primer Congreso Internacional de RIILPE, organizado por la Universidad de San Carlos de Guatemala https://humanides.usac.edu.gt/rilpe.El congreso tuvo lugar en la Ciud...
