El objetivo del presente trabajo consiste en analizar la influencia de una innovación educativa basada en la evaluación formativa, sobre la motivación del alumnado universitario hacia una asignatura del Grado de Educación Primaria. Para ello, 91 estudiantes de la Universidad de Sevilla participaron en un proyecto de innovación docente durante el curso 2018-2019, donde se aplicó un proceso general de evaluación formativa, así como otros recursos didácticos y tecnológicos, como el uso de la gamificación y mandos interactivos de respuesta, entre otros. Al finalizar la intervención el alumnado respondió el Cuestionario de Estrategias de Aprendizaje y Motivación (CEAM II) para analizar, entre otras variables, la motivación del alumnado. Los datos obtenidos dejan entrever altos niveles de motivación, tanto intrínseca como extrínseca, lo que supone una valoración positiva para considerar esta innovación como una buena práctica educativa y seguir trabajando en esta línea. The main aim of this study is to analyze the influence of an educational innovation based on formative assessment, on the motivation of university students towards a subject of the Degree in Primary Education. To this end, 91 students from University of Seville participated in a teaching innovation project during the 2018-2019 academic year, where a general process of formative assessment as well as other didactic and technological resources were applied, such as use of gamification and interactive response commands, among others. At the end of the intervention students answered the Spanish version of Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire (CEAM II) in order to analyze, among other variables, students' motivation. The findings show high levels of motivation, both intrinsic and extrinsic. Therefore, the data obtained suggest this experience can be considered as a good educational practice and they encourage us to continue working in this line.

The carried out research aims to identify and understand the main advantages and challenges for history and social sciences teaching in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. Furthermore, this study recognizes the work spaces that allow teachers to develop historical empathy and the teaching of participatory citizenship through this new school context. This is done through a case study of a group of teachers who belong to an educational centre in the Metropolitan Region of Chile; we have been able to collect the perceptions, emotions, feelings and views of history and social sciences teachers on how they develop their educational practice in a setting of pandemic. The methodology followed is of qualitative nature under a case study design. The results stand out concerning the interrelation that is generated. On the one hand, it interrelates in the complexity that teaching during the pandemic implies with the context of inequalities that the school faces highlighting the efforts of educational innovation to generate significant learning for and the students. Amongst the main conclusions there are the efforts made by teachers to generate educational innovation in the complex context of the pandemic, where the school and all the social problems that arise are inserted. Teachers have found the spaces and raised new perspectives of teaching that promote historical empathy and education for citizenship in students.

AbstractThe appropriate implementation of innovation is a crucial factor in improving educational practice. In the implementation process, there is, however, often a lack of interaction between designers and practitioners that would enable the latter to become competent enough to implement theoretical knowledge into practice and to have an ongoing support from designers. Design-based research is based on close cooperation between researchers, practitioners and designers which consequently allows greater integration of research and practice in education. In the present paper, the beginnings, development, basic characteristics, advantages, disadvantages and the research process of design-based research are reviewed and an example of design-based research is presented. Keywords: design-based research; educational research; educational innovation; mixed methods research; educational improvement

El sistema educativo español ha sufrido, en los últimos años, numerosas modificaciones que lo han ido transformando. Una parte de ellas se ha centrado en la introducción de nuevos elementos en el currículum, como las competencias clave y los estándares de aprendizaje evaluables, que han cambiado la forma de concebir la educación y que se perciben como posturas innovadoras por parte del profesorado. Desgraciadamente, este modelo por competencias y por estándares ha recuperado un paradigma educativo centrado en el producto, es decir, la pedagogía por objetivos. Este modelo centra la atención del profesorado en ajustar la práctica educativa a criterios preestablecidos por las propias leyes a través de una homogenización y uniformización del currículum en la que se mide la calidad de la educativa en términos de eficiencia y eficacia. A pesar de esta realidad, existen alternativas al modelo por objetivos que centran la atención en el proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje en vez de en el producto. El modelo procesual se preocupa por desarrollar contenidos valiosos para la práctica educativa y la entiende como una situación incierta en la que el profesorado debe dar solución a los problemas que se presentan. La práctica docente es más abierta y flexible y se pretende educar atendiendo a las particularidades del contexto donde se desarrolla la enseñanza donde el profesorado se postula como un profesional implicado en su práctica. El objetivo de este trabajo es ofrecer una respuesta crítica al modelo por competencias y aportar una alternativa basada en la recuperación de los principios de procedimiento. Para esto desarrollamos los postulados que orientan la práctica educativa desde el modelo procesual y presentamos una propuesta de principios de procedimiento para la asignatura de Educación Física, basados en el desarrollo del componente motriz, la justicia curricular y la dimensión estética del movimiento. ABSTRACT:Spanish educational system has suffered, in last years, very modifications that have been transforming it. These transformations have focused in introduction of new elements in the curriculum, such as key competences and learning standards, which have changed the way of education and teachers are perceived these changes that as educational innovation. Unfortunately, this model based in competences and standards has returned an educational paradigm focus in the product. In this model, emphasis teachers' attention in readjusting your educational practice to criteria pre-established by the laws themselves through a homogenization and standardization of the curriculum. The quality of education is measured in terms of efficiency and effectiveness. Despite, there are alternatives to this model that focus on the teaching-learning process instead of the product. The process model is concerned for developing valuable content for educational practice and this model have understood in uncertain situation to which teachers must solve the problems that appear. The teaching practice is more open and flexible and it is intended to learn attending to the particularities of the context where is developed. The teachers are posited as a professional involved in their practice. The objective of this paper is to offer a critical thinking to the competences model and provide an alternative based on the recovery of the principles of procedure. We develop the suggestions that guide the educational practice from the process model and we present a proposal of principles of procedure for the subject of Physical Education. This proposal is based on the development of the motor component, curricular justice and the esthetic dimension of the movement.

Introductory Paper

Honors education offers students challenging experiences and teachers a laboratory for educational innovation. Successful innovations can stimulate other teachers to experiment and improve their educational practice. This requires that innovations become known to other teachers. For this reason, a project on good practices in honors education has been started in The Netherlands, where good practices in honors education of universities were described and published on a website of the Dutch Honors Network. Until now, 19 good practices are described, 17 from The Netherlands and two from the United States. Nine are selected for this issue. In this introductory paper, the good practice project and research about good practices are described. Different views and principles about honors education are discussed. A series of keywords to bridge the different views and the principles with the nine good practices published in this issue are presented. An analysis of the collected data of the good practices is carried out, followed by conclusions, discussions, and reflections. It appears that six good practices already led to innovations elsewhere in curricula.

Vygotskian Theory

Purpose The purpose of this theoretical essay is to discuss recent scholarship in sociocultural studies of literacy – including two recent books by Peter Smagorinsky (2011) and Luis Moll (2013) and recent articles by Gutierrez and Engestrom – and to synthesize ideas from this scholarship into a coherent lens for understanding innovations in language and literacy education and in education more broadly, when language is seen as the means through which transformation of thought is achieved. Design/methodology/approach This essay uses ideas from Vygotskian theory, as interpreted by Moll, Smagorinsky, Gutierrez and Engestrom, to re-conceptualize innovation – a theme of current importance in literacy education and indeed education broadly – as culturally mediated. The author discusses specifically two examples of recent innovations in educational practice – the notion of multiliteracies and approaches to teacher education based on hybrid activity settings that link researchers and teachers, university and school. Findings As this is not an empirical study, there are no findings per se. However, the author’s discussion of innovation through a sociocultural lens focuses on re-mediation and the deliberate, conscious setting of goals as a means for construction knowledge in, and about, innovations in literacy teaching and learning. Also, the author concludes the essay with several principles by which to evaluate innovations from a sociocultural perspective. Research limitations/implications This conceptual paper has the potential to contribute to new ways of applying sociocultural theory in literacy teaching and research, particularly research that involves the study of innovative, transformative practices in teaching and learning. Originality/value This essay offers a theory-driven reconceptualization of innovation for use in educational research and practice, which has a potential value as an antidote to shallow, narrow and/or prescriptive models of language and literacy innovations that are offered to practitioners. Put another way, it offers readers a new way to think about innovation in sustainable and culturally relevant terms.

The article describes the use of BYOD technology (Bring Your Own Device) in educational practice using the Lecture Racing mobile application. This application provides feedback between the teacher and students both in the classroom and during distance learning, contributes to the visualization of educational material and, in general, the informatization of the educational process. The purpose of the study is to conduct a theoretical analysis of the current state and prospects for the development of BYOD technology in Russia and abroad, and to test the benefits of using this technology in educational practice using the specific mobile application. During the study, an analysis of scientific, theoretical and practical literature on BYOD technology was carried out. In the process of experimental work, test tasks were the instrument of measuring knowledge and skills of students. As a result of a theoretical analysis and study of the practical possibilities of using BYOD technology (using the Lecture Racing mobile application as an example), it was found that this technology allows you to visualize information that is displayed in real time on the screen of each student's mobile device, regardless of its location. This technology also allows both the student and the teacher to quickly work with information, provide feedback, receive an independent assessment (since the assessment is set automatically), saves time, and develops the information culture of students.
