Family and community in and out of the classroom introduce the reader to the field of family engagement in mathematics teaching and learning processes. Scientific evidence collected by the European Union throughout many different studies in a number of research programs, highlights researchers' increasing interest for the role that families play in the process of learning. There is a set of evidence demonstrating the positive impact of family engagement and students' performance. In this book we collect the main findings achieved in the frame of FAMA - Family Math for Adult Learners. Drawing on these results, it seems clear that activities conducted in and out of the classroom have a strong impact on students' scores in mathematics. Throughout this book, the reader will find what are the main trends in mathematics family education in Europe and other World regions, as well as what are the more successful actions in this field.

Este libro recoge conceptos sobre creatividad, expresados desde diferentes enfoques, y examina algunas técnicas empleadas para potenciar la creatividad de docentes de carreras de ingeniería. Asimismo, ayuda a visualizar las múltiples capacidades de los estudiantes y permite que su aplicación en el aula genere nuevos métodos de aprendizaje, lo que lleva a superar limitaciones y bloqueos presentados con frecuencia en el entorno del estudiante. En el texto se enfatiza que la creatividad no es un don; por tanto, puede ser explotada en cualquier momento de la vida. Así se puede fomentar otra forma de reconocer el mundo, ya que estimula a los estudiantes a desarrollar su creatividad. Además, se proponen diferentes ejercicios para reestructurar los procesos cognitivos con el fin de generar ideas que conduzcan a la creación de productos de innovación para las organizaciones y la sociedad.

Serpientes en el aula responde a preguntas que profesores, pastores y padres se plantean a menudo. Pese a sus mejores esfuerzos, &¿ por qué los ni&ñ os rechazan tan a menudo la fe cristiana? La respuesta se encuentra en las premisas teol&ó gicas que sustentan gran parte de la educaci&ó n contempor&á nea. Aunque la clase dirigente educativa suele presentar sus modelos como productos derivados de investigaciones basadas en pruebas y teol&ó gicamente neutras, no lo son en absoluto. M&á s bien, se basan en teolog&í as diametralmente opuestas a la ense&ñ anza cristiana ortodoxa.Bas&á ndose en su experiencia como educador, pastor y profesor universitario, el Dr. Korcok revela los principios teol&ó gicos de algunos de los pedagogos que han influido en la configuraci&ó n del pensamiento educativo contempor&á neo y descubre c&ó mo han dise&ñ ado intencionadamente la educaci&ó n para apartar a los ni&ñ os de la fe cristiana.Para los profesores y los padres cristianos, existe una alternativa. El Dr. Korcok presenta el modelo cl&á sico de educaci&ó n en artes liberales que, por casi dos mil a&ñ os, ha servido eficazmente a la Iglesia como un modelo educativo pr&á ctico y teol&ó gicamente sano para formar a los ni&ñ os para una vida de fe.

Diversidade(S). Discapacidad, altas capacidades intelectuales y trastornos del espectro autista se estructura en tres partes. En primer lugar, se presenta la discapacidad intelectual desde el modelo social. En segundo lugar, se estudian los trastornos del espectro autista desde una visión amplia e interdisciplinaria hasta los aportes específicos de Fernand Deligny en Francia y el movimiento de la neurodiversidad en Inglaterra. En tercer lugar, se indican los elementos esenciales para el trabajo educativo con niños con altas capacidades intelectuales en el aula. El libro recoge los enfoques teóricos, modelos epistemológicos, técnicas de acompañamiento socioeducativo, instrumentos de detección, evaluación y orientaciones generales de trabajo en contextos educativos para los tres casos citados. Se plantea una aproximación teórico-práctica que ofrece criterios de actuación a los profesionales de la educación. Por otro lado, se interroga sobre algunos debates y controversias presentes en los casos estudiados ofreciendo, en su conjunto, un contenido extenso y de gran aplicación práctica.

This volume gathers, analyses, discusses and evaluates results of current research on arts and cultural education in Europe, focusing on the challenges of cultural diversity. Cultural diversity is an increasingly characteristic feature of contemporary societies. Groups with different ethnic, social or cultural backgrounds coexist, interact and merge. The challenges of cultural diversity – its innovative potential as well as tensions and conflicts – are reflected in transnational discourses on education, culture, democracy, and citizenship. Transcultural approaches, multicultural education, and intercultural learning are key concepts. The same challenges are reflected in arts and cultural education within and outside schools, in teachers’ and artists’ training, cultural and educational policies, and research. The thirteen chapters in this book report on nine countries represented in the European Network of Observatories in the Field of Arts and Cultural Education (ENO). They showcase good practices in research and teaching, foster the exchange of experiences, stimulate researchers and stakeholders and give insights into their professional practices.

Although the effort to involve women in engineering has risen in recent years with the creation of new initiatives and the promotion of inclusion in technical disciplines, the active participation of women in engineering professions is continuously lower than expected. While the need for engineers appears to be constantly increasing, women still do not fill most of this role and have a long way to go to even reach an equal split in the field. This gender gap has a significant impact how women in the STEM fields are perceived as well as their experiences in their education and careers. When it comes to Latin American women in IT, their contribution to science can go unnoticed, their participation levels in these fields are very low, and they often occupy lower-level positions than their male counterparts. These issues need to be discussed, and the experiences of women who work in the field must be shared. Latin American Women and Research Contributions to the IT Field highlights the important role of Latin American women in IT by collecting and disseminating their frontier-research contributions in order to provide more visibility and inspire greater participation of Latin American women within the major field of computer science. With chapters contributed by female authors from eight Latin American and Caribbean countries, the book provides a deep analysis of these women’s trajectory paths to high quality theoretical and applied relevant research in computer science and IT. While highlighting areas such as inclusivity and STEM education, along with advancements and achievements in topics that include nonverbal interaction in virtual reality, fuzzy logic applications in education, and ant colony optimization, this book is ideal for professionals, academics, students, and researchers working in the fields of information technologies and computer science as well as those interested in gender and women’s studies.
