This book on 'Cooperative Learning in Higher Education' addresses the development of both reflective teaching and learning in higher education to promote sustainable education in several disciplines where reflection is at the core of sustainable development. The book explores reflection within higher education and/or within instructional approaches to higher education, not only via in-house and external individuals, collective initiatives and activities that focus on reflection and the generation of knowledge, but also on the transformative outputs of learning communities. We place an emphasis on reflective practices and communities, as well as linking reflective learning and the development of professional identity through reflection. The book also addresses the connections between theoretical and applied research on reflective practices and knowledge generation in all areas, as well as professional practice and identity through theoretical definitions, situated and grounded practice, and transformative knowledge.
For decades, people have searched for ways to harvest energy from natural sources. Lately, a desire to address the issue of global warming and climate change has popularized solar or photovoltaic technology, while piezoelectric technology is being developed to power handheld devices without batteries, and thermoelectric technology is being explored to convert wasted heat, such as in automobile engine combustion, into electricity. Featuring contributions from international researchers in both academics and industry, Energy Harvesting with Functional Materials and Microsystems explains the growing field of energy harvesting from a materials and device perspective, with resulting technologies c...
Microsystems technologies have found their way into an impressive variety of applications, from mobile phones, computers, and displays to smart grids, electric cars, and space shuttles. This multidisciplinary field of research extends the current capabilities of standard integrated circuits in terms of materials and designs and complements them by creating innovative components and smaller systems that require lower power consumption and display better performance. Novel Advances in Microsystems Technologies and their Applications delves into the state of the art and the applications of microsystems and microelectronics-related technologies. Featuring contributions by academic and industrial...
The book presents the conception and realization of a pervasive electronic architecture for electrochemical applications, focusing on electronic instrumentation design and device development, particularly in electrochemical Point-of-Care and Lab-on-a-Chip devices, covering examples based on amperometric (DC) and impedance detection (AC) techniques. The presented electronics combine tailored front-end instrumentation and back-end data post-processing, enabling applications in different areas, and across a variety of techniques, analytes, transducers and environments. It addresses how the electronics are designed and implemented with special interest in the flow process: starting from electron...
La utilización de la metodología de aprendizaje cooperativo en el aula universitaria ha sido y es objeto de reflexión constante. Ha llegado el momento de promover la participación y el disfrute del aprendizaje cooperativo en las aulas, si queremos crear espacios vivenciales impregnados de aprendizaje y creatividad. Para ello es imprescindible preparar al profesorado para que contextualice tanto los problemas como las posibles soluciones de la intervención educativa de enseñanza y aprendizaje. En este libro se presenta una muestra significativa de diferentes estudios sobre el aprendizaje cooperativo desde diversas universidades.
Este libro tiene como objetivo identificar, describir e ilustrar un conjunto de recursos, estrategias y experiencias de personalización educativa dirigidos a promover y reforzar en el alumnado el sentido y el valor personal de sus aprendizajes escolares. Surgido en el marco de la Alianza Educación 360 promovida por la Fundación Jaume Bofill, la Diputación de Barcelona y la Federación de Movimientos de Renovación Pedagógica de Cataluña, tiene como destinatarios principales docentes y agentes educativos de la comunidad. La personalización de la acción educativa, entendida como un conjunto de actuaciones y estrategias dirigidas a afrontar y revertir el fenómeno de la pérdida de sentido del aprendizaje, forma parte del núcleo de los esfuerzos invertidos a revisar en profundidad la educación escolar atendiendo las características y exigencias de la nueva ecología del aprendizaje.

Aborda el desarrollo del bienestar y la mejora de la salud desde diferentes perspectivas y ámbitos (educación física, danza, psicomotricidad, literatura, artes plásticas y escénicas) con el objetivo de ofrecer conocimientos y recursos que permitan tomar decisiones de manera autónoma y consciente ante diversas opciones de conductas saludables. A través de los diferentes capítulos se presentan propuestas dirigidas a promover nuevas estrategias de aprendizaje a partir de metodologías diversas, inclusivas y sostenibles, orientadas al desarrollo de una salud integral (física, mental, emocional, interior y social), tomando como eje fundamental el conocimiento del cuerpo y del movimiento.
