This volume explores the socio-political dynamics, historical forces, and unequal power relationships which mediate language ideologies in Mexican higher education settings, shedding light on the processes by which minority students learn new languages in postcolonial contexts. Drawing on data from a critical ethnographic case study of a Mexican university over several years, the book turns a critical lens on language learning autonomy and the use of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) in postcolonial higher education settings, and advocates for an approach to the language learning and teaching process which takes into account minority language learners’ cultural heritage and localized knowledge. Despagne also showcases this approach in the unique research methodology which underpins the data, integrating participatory methods such as Interpretative Focus Groups in an attempt to decolonize research by engaging and involving participants in the analysis of data. Highlighting the importance of critical approaches in encouraging the equitable treatment of diverse cultures and languages and the development of agency in minority language learners, this book will be key reading for researchers in sociolinguistics, educational linguistics, applied linguistics, ethnography of communication, and linguistic anthropology.

This edited book is a collection of selected research papers presented at the 2021 2nd International Conference on Artificial Intelligence in Education Technology (AIET 2021), held in Wuhan, China on July 2-4, 2021. AIET establishes a platform for AI in education researchers to present research, exchange innovative ideas, propose new models, as well as demonstrate advanced methodologies and novel systems. Rapid developments in artificial intelligence (AI) and the disruptive potential of AI in educational use has drawn significant attention from the education community in recent years. For educators entering this uncharted territory, many theoretical and practical questions concerning AI in education are raised, and issues on AI’s technical, pedagogical, administrative and socio-cultural implications are being debated. The book provides a comprehensive picture of the current status, emerging trends, innovations, theory, applications, challenges and opportunities of current AI in education research. This timely publication is well-aligned with UNESCO’s Beijing Consensus on Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Education. It is committed to exploring how best to prepare our students and harness emerging technologies for achieving the Education 2030 Agenda as we move towards an era in which AI is transforming many aspects of our lives. Providing a broad coverage of recent technology-driven advances and addressing a number of learning-centric themes, the book is an informative and useful resource for researchers, practitioners, education leaders and policy-makers who are involved or interested in AI and education.

The UN is currently focused on monitoring and improving learning outcomes and people who are generally excluded from education. Indeed, in its Agenda 2030, higher education forms an important part of the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) related to poverty, hunger, health, education and gender equality. This volume brings together contributions that provide research and teaching experiences, as well as reflections on actions taken in higher education institutes, associated with these SDGs.

This book gathers papers on interactive and collaborative mobile learning environments, assessment, evaluation and research methods in mobile learning, mobile learning models, theory and pedagogy, open and distance mobile learning, life-long and informal learning using mobile devices, wearables and the Internet of Things, game-based learning, dynamic learning experiences, mobile systems and services for opening up education, mobile healthcare and training, case studies on mobile learning, and 5G network infrastructure. Today, interactive mobile technologies have become the core of many—if not all—fields of society. Not only do the younger generation of students expect a mobile working and learning environment, but also the new ideas, technologies and solutions introduced on a nearly daily basis also boost this trend. Discussing and assessing key trends in the mobile field were the primary aims of the 13th International Conference on Interactive Mobile Communication Technologies and Learning (IMCL2019), which was held in Thessaloniki, Greece, from 31 October to 01 November 2019. Since being founded in 2006, the conference has been devoted to new approaches in interactive mobile technologies, with a focus on learning. The IMCL conferences have since become a central forum of the exchange of new research results and relevant trends, as well as best practices. The book’s intended readership includes policymakers, academics, educators, researchers in pedagogy and learning theory, schoolteachers, further education lecturers, practitioners in the learning industry, etc.

El paradigma de la cognición situada representa una de las tendencias actuales más representativas de la teoría y la actividad sociocultural, y toma como punto de referencia los escritos de Lev Vygotsky (1986; 1988) y de autores como Leontiev (1978) y Luria (1987) y más recientemente, los trabajos de Rogoff (1993), Lave (1997), Bereiter (1997), Engeström y Cole (1997), Wenger (2001), siendo éstos de los más conocidos en el ámbito educativo. Tal como hemos ido viendo, el enfoque sociocultural vigotskiano afirma que el conocimiento es situado, es decir, forma parte y es producto de la actividad, el contexto y la cultura, destacando la importancia de la mediación, la construcción conjunta de significados y los mecanismos de ayuda ajustada.

La Teoría del Aprendizaje Significativo es uno de los posibles acercamientos que, guiado por la psicología cognitiva, se plantea qué es lo que ocurre cuando un individuo procesa información y la convierte en conocimiento. Esta obra analiza algunas de las teorías más relevantes que tratan los procesos implicados en la cognición: la Teoría de los Modelos Mentales (Johnson-Laird), la Teoría de los Campos Conceptuales (Vergnaud) y la Teoría del Aprendizaje Significativo (Ausubel). Las dos primeras son aproximaciones teóricas que pueden constituir un marco de referencia cognitivo, más actual, de los principios expuestos por Ausubel, en los que se centra esta obra. En resumen, el objetivo de estos ensayos es procurar una visión conjunta de todos estos constructos teóricos para facilitar su comprensión y aplicación, una relectura e interpretación cognitiva contemporánea de una etiqueta tan usada y manida como es la del aprendizaje significativo, que favorezca su uso coherente tanto en el aula como en la investigación en educación.
