The COVID-19 pandemic has provided a unique opportunity to examine our understanding of the opportunities and challenges that ICTs offer to support the functioning of all aspects of education. The closure of educational institutions has forced a radical change in the practices of teachers and societies regarding the use of ICT to support teaching, learning, social relations and work in many sectors. In the training of digital skills, the instrumental mastery of ICT continues to outweigh the preparation of citizens to make constructive and safe use of technologies. After two decades of educational policies, we continue to reduce digital literacy to instrumental skills. That is, you do not lea...
During the COVID-19 pandemic, many people had to cope with isolation due to lockdown policies that forced them to engage in fewer social activities. People were confined to the small space of their dwellings and felt constrained and socially isolated and deprived of meaningful social interaction and affection, which caused stress and anxiety. Several initiatives were put in place to help diminish the effects of isolation, such as those involving literature either through writing or reading. Managing Pandemic Isolation With Literature as Therapy explains the positive medical and psychological effects of literature and writing during a pandemic at a time when isolation prevented people from engaging with others socially. Covering topics such as clinical psychology, brain neurology, and stress, this reference work is ideal for psychologists, medical professionals, policymakers, government officials, researchers, scholars, academicians, practitioners, instructors, and students.
The current health situation has been described as chaotic and devastating. Humanity’s trust in the future and in its human capacity to overcome a disaster of such magnitude is even starting to wither away. If science still lacks a response to the pandemic, can the humanities offer something to cope with this situation? The world can adopt a historical perspective and realize that this is not the first time a global pandemic has struck. Issues including illness, suffering, endurance, resilience, human survival, etc. have been dealt with by literature, philosophy, psychology, and sociology throughout the ages and should be explored once again in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Handbo...

In the age of information, an essential priority in the context of international education is the development of language learning and its inconsistencies. The gap between language and education has intermittently grown through time, with mistaken assumptions about how linguistic shortcomings are being solved around the world. Research on comparative educational approaches to teaching verbiage and the foundation of future language development are instrumental in positively impacting the global narrative of dialectal education. International Approaches to Bridging the Language Gap is a collection of innovative research on the methods and applications of second language teaching as well as social developments regarding intercultural learning. While highlighting topics including curricular approaches, digital competence, and linguistic disparities, this book is ideally designed for language instructors, linguists, teachers, researchers, public administrators, cultural centers, policymakers, government officials, academicians, researchers, and students seeking current research on the latest advancements of multilingual education.
La Educación se encuentra en la base de la transmisión y, al mismo tiempo, de la generación misma del conocimiento. Este trasciende la mera acumulación de datos, y su grandeza resulta de una elaborada, contextualizada y significativa toma de consciencia del valor añadido que el cúmulo de información adquiere para poder explicar el porqué de las cosas, su sentido, contexto, tradición, etc. Si bien no se puede descartar el valor de la inspiración del individuo, no es menos cierto que el verdadero valor trascendente del conocimiento cobra sentido a partir de la actividad colaborativa, del acervo de actividad innovadora en red, que potencia la Educación. Desde esta perspectiva, la obra Educación, investigación e innovación en red ofrece trece interesantes aportaciones que, entre ellas, se entrelazan a modo de red con el fin de «tejer» un panorama amplio, completo, especializado y diverso sobre temas educativos actuales.
Ofrece experiencias prácticas de integración de los ODS en la docencia universitaria. En ellas se utilizan estrategias como la sensibilización, la integración específica y la transversalización, que van asociadas al uso de metodologías activas [BIC]; por ejemplo, el aprendizaje-servicio, el aprendizaje orientado a proyectos, el aprendizaje basado en problemas y el método de casos. En el volumen también se plantean recomendaciones que pueden ser útiles para incluir los ODS en la enseñanza-aprendizaje. Es un libro dirigido al profesorado universitario de cualquier ámbito de conocimiento puesto que los planteamientos son extrapolables a cualquiera asignatura.

Ren Conference 2024 ha proposto quest’anno un tema molto dibattuto in ambito scientifico e sociale. L’Intelligenza Artificiale (IA), e il nuovo paradigma che porta con sé, ha inevitabilmente coinvolto il mondo dell’educazione e dell’istruzione. Il modo in cui apprendiamo nuove conoscenze è in continua evoluzione con potenziali e radicali trasformazioni nel prossimo futuro. La ricerca si è concentrata principalmente sullo sviluppo di macchine che imitano l'intelligenza umana ed eseguono compiti che richiedono capacità cognitive simili a quelle umane, tra cui l'apprendimento, il pensiero logico e la risoluzione di problemi complessi. Oggi, l’IA è parte integrante della vita quot...
