This volume collects some of the papers presented at the 16th IARTEM Conference held in Florence in April 2022. It was a ’difficult conference’, held at a time when the pandemic was still present, and therefore an important opportunity to resume a dialogue that seemed to have been interrupted. The richness of the content, which is the result of the reflections of authors from all over the world, allows us to provide a precise scenario of the research state of art in the field of textbooks and digital resources for teaching.
Una recopilación de datos, observaciones y reflexiones sobre tecnologías digitales en la etapa de 3 a 6 años. Es fruto de una investigación sobre la oferta, la percepción y la utilización de los recursos educativos digitales en esta etapa. Se dan respuesta a preguntas como, por ejemplo: ¿Qué características técnicas y pedagógicas más destacables presentan los materiales didácticos digitales destinados a la población de 3-6 años? ¿Qué visiones y opiniones maneja el profesorado del segundo ciclo de educación infantil sobre estos materiales respecto a su potencial en el aprendizaje, su utilización escolar y en el hogar?&hellip [BIC];
Las Jornadas Internacionales Universitarias de Tecnología Educativa (JUTE 2022) forman parte de las actividades de la red académica RUTE (Red Universitaria de Tecnología Educativa) y su XXIX edición se celebró en la Universitat de València los días 15, 16 y 17 de junio de 2022. Las JUTE 2022 tienen como lema Aprender entre imágenes y pantallas, con el cual se abre un espacio de reflexión y debate sobre las posibilidades que ofrecen los medios digitales para promover una ciudadanía diversa e inclusiva. Los más jóvenes viven y disfrutan intensamente de la iconosfera en la que adquieren nuevos patrones culturales y cognitivos. De modo que cabe preguntarse, ¿qué estrategias de a...
This collection of essays examines how our visual and language systems interact in relationship to reading. Addresses four important questions concerning the role of vision in reading Presents recent findings from neuroimaging literature along with important recent work concerning how letters and letter strings are processed Investigates what constraints the visual system and eye movement control set on visual word recognition Discusses the role of the left and right visual field, together with the right and left hemispheres in visual word recognition Evaluates what information the brain computes when we read a word questions the contribution of the visual system on reading disability
E-books have changed academic library collections. This book is a comprehensive look at the best practices in place for planning and managing e-book collections in community, junior college, and university libraries. Specific topics covered include: E-book collection development and management, Innovative uses of e-books in academic contexts, Trends in faculty and student acceptance of and interaction with e-books, Purchasing models, and Solutions for dealing with varying formats and the lack of standardization.
Digital technologies are a key feature of contemporary education. Schools, colleges and universities operate along high-tech lines, while alternate forms of online education have emerged to challenge the dominance of traditional institutions. According to many experts, the rapid digitization of education over the past ten years has undoubtedly been a ‘good thing’. Is Technology Good For Education? offers a critical counterpoint to this received wisdom, challenging some of the central ways in which digital technology is presumed to be positively affecting education. Instead Neil Selwyn considers what is being lost as digital technologies become ever more integral to education provision and engagement. Crucially, he questions the values, agendas and interests that stand to gain most from the rise of digital education. This concise, up-to-the-minute analysis concludes by considering alternate approaches that might be capable of rescuing and perhaps revitalizing the ideals of public education, while not denying the possibilities of digital technology altogether.
At the beginning of the twentieth century, Venezuela had one of the poorest economies in Latin America, but by 1970 it had become the richest country in the region and one of the twenty richest countries in the world, ahead of countries such as Greece, Israel, and Spain. Between 1978 and 2001, however, Venezuela’s economy went sharply in reverse, with non-oil GDP declining by almost 19 percent and oil GDP by an astonishing 65 percent. What accounts for this drastic turnabout? The editors of Venezuela Before Chávez, who each played a policymaking role in the country’s economy during the past two decades, have brought together a group of economists and political scientists to examine syst...

There are few more active frontiers in plant science than helping understand and predict the ecological consequences of on-going, global changes in climate, land use and cover, nutrient cycling, and acidity. This collection of research papers and reviews focuses on how these changes are likely to interact with two important factors, clonal growth in plants and the introduction of species into new regions by humans, to reshape the ecology of our world. Clonal growth is vegetative reproduction in which offspring remain attached to the parent at least until establishment. Clonal growth is associated with the invasiveness of introduced species, their tendency to spread after introduction and negatively affect other species. Will changes in climate, land cover, or nutrients further increase biological invasions by introduced, clonal plants? The articles in this book seek to address this question with new research and theory on clonal growth and its interactions with invasiveness and other components of global change.
