DOWNLOAD EBOOKLa educación, sin duda, impacta en la transformación de las sociedades, pero a su vez su capacidad de cambio está condicionada por la relevancia que la misma sociedad le concede. En este círculo virtuoso que se puede establecer entre educación y transformación social es difícil identificar el verdadero valor agregado que aporta la educación si no se consideran de manera especial los contextos externo (mediato e inmediato) e interno (entradas y procesos) en que trabajan las escuelas o el profesorado. Impacto y relevancia de la educación son dos caras de una misma moneda: la acción educativa. Consideramos que el compromiso a asumir por los investigadores evaluativos debe ser claro: no se pueden seguir auspiciando evaluaciones que simplemente impacten en el sistema a modo de disrupción, sin que ellas aporten mayor utilidad. Lo lamentable es que a pesar de que es posible superar este tema, se hace poco al respecto. Sin embargo, desde hace ya algunos años, se empieza a observar este movimiento en la literatura especializada que reclama la consideración del contexto. El presente libro está dividido en dos partes, donde se abordan temas relacionados con las pruebas y los cuestionarios de contexto, mismos que constituyen una aportación académica, científica y social para buscar la mejora en la educación. Por un lado, en la primera parte se presenta un modelo analítico para la evaluación de las condiciones contextuales asociadas a la función docente en educación superior; se expone la situación que existe en la formación pedagógica del profesorado, y clarifica algunas líneas de análisis que permiten poner en perspectiva la complejidad de este objeto de estudio tanto en su dimensión teórica como práctica; se profundiza sobre las percepciones de los docentes sobre el rendimiento o logro académico de los estudiantes; y se analizan las características de tipo académico y psicológico de los estudiantes de secundaria, según sus actitudes hacia el cuidado ambiental. Por otro lado, en la segunda parte se muestran herramientas analítico-informáticas que facilitan algunos procesos de la evaluación del aprendizaje.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe Routledge Handbook of Spanish Language Teaching: metodologías, contextos y recursos para la enseñanza del español L2, provides a comprehensive, state-of-the-art account of the main methodologies, contexts and resources in Spanish Language Teaching (SLT), a field that has experienced significant growth world-wide in recent decades and has consolidated as an autonomous discipline within Applied Linguistics. Written entirely in Spanish, the volume is the first handbook on Spanish Language Teaching to connect theories on language teaching with methodological and practical aspects from an international perspective. It brings together the most recent research and offers a broad, multifaceted view of the discipline. Features include: Forty-four chapters offering an interdisciplinary overview of SLT written by over sixty renowned experts from around the world; Five broad sections that combine theoretical and practical components: Methodology; Language Skills; Formal and Grammatical Aspects; Sociocultural Aspects; and Tools and Resources; In-depth reflections on the practical aspects of Hispanic Linguistics and Spanish Language Teaching to further engage with new theoretical ideas and to understand how to tackle classroom-related matters; A consistent inner structure for each chapter with theoretical aspects, methodological guidelines, practical considerations, and valuable references for further reading; An array of teaching techniques, reflection questions, language samples, design of activities, and methodological guidelines throughout the volume. The Routledge Handbook of Spanish Language Teaching contributes to enriching the field by being an essential reference work and study material for specialists, researchers, language practitioners, and current and future educators. The book will be equally useful for people interested in curriculum design and graduate students willing to acquire a complete and up-to-date view of the field with immediate applicability to the teaching of the language.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis volume of essays from leading British, North American and Australasian contributors looks at the issues of the convergence of distance and conventional education. The term 'convergence' refers to the breaking down of barriers between open and distance learning and conventional institutions, and the creation of more and more institutions working across a range of modes. Such convergence has been driven by a number of factors, including the new technologies for teaching and learning, the impact of lifelong learning policies, the entry of larger than ever numbers of adult part-time students into tertiary education, and the demands of both employers and individuals for professional and work-related education throughout their working lives. The fourteen chapters engage critically with a range of aspects of convergence, including: * how well is open and distance learning carried out by conventional institutions for which it may continue for a lengthy period to be seen as of secondary importance? * to what extent will open and distance learning be more effectively carried out by conventional institutions able to offer a variety of modes to a wide range of learners? * how well will the variety of learners be served by systems that are converging? * what are the managerial issues at institutional level where converging systems are being developed?

The use of this tool for performance improvement through systematic search and adaptation of leading practices, has expanded globally during the past decade. Many ongoing projects worldwide aim to address different needs and objectives, in varying contexts, with outstanding results and impact. Benchmarking Water Services provides valuable information to everyone interested in benchmarking in the water industry. The text is aimed at utilities considering joining a benchmarking project, experienced practitioners in charge of organizing a benchmarking exercise, consultants, regulators and researchers. The document is presented with a clear practice oriented approach and can be used as a how-to-benchmark guide presented from different perspectives (participants, organizers, supervising bodies). Readers will gain practical insight on real life benchmarking practices and will benefit from the experiences gained in some of the leading benchmarking projects of the water industry (including the IWA-WSAA benchmarking efforts, the European Benchmarking Co-operation and the several benchmarking projects carried out in Austria and Central Europe). The manual also presents the new IWA Benchmarking Framework, which aims to harmonize the terms used to describe benchmarking and performance indicators practices in the water industry, guaranteeing a more fluent and efficient communication.
