RESUMENEste trabajo aborda la “pareja pedagógica” como estrategia didáctica innovadora de corte inclusivo, que caracteriza una modalidad de enseñanza colaborativa (co-enseñanza). Esta estrategia requiere la implicación, intencional y voluntaria de dos profesores en todos los aspectos vinculados a la docencia: planificación, evaluación y, singularmente, durante el desarrollo de las sesiones de clases. Inicialmente se revisa la literatura sobre el tema de estudio, de cara a documentar su potencial en la mejora del proceso didáctico, e ilustrar sus implicaciones para el desarrollo profesional docente; asimismo, se centra el eje de análisis en la educación inclusiva. En un segundo momento, se presentan los resultados de un proyecto de innovación docente cuyo eje central es la puesta en acción de esta estrategia por un grupo de docentes de la Universidad de Cádiz, en diversas titulaciones vinculadas a la formación inicial del profesorado. En concreto, se presenta la visión particular del alumnado de la asignatura “Procesos y Contextos Educativos”, del Máster en Formación del Profesorado de Secundaria. Es a través de la voz del alumnado que el modelo de co-enseñanza, llevado a cabo en esta experiencia con las “parejas pedagógicas”, adquiere valor pedagógico y se sitúa como motor para la proyección hacia su práctica futura.Palabras Clave: co-enseñanza, pareja pedagógica, educación inclusiva, formación inicial del profesorado.ABSTRACTThis work approaches the “pedagogical partnerns” as an innovative didactic strategy of inclusive orientation, which characterizes a modality of collaborative teaching (co-teaching). This strategy requires the intentional and voluntary involvement of two teachers in all aspects related to teaching: planning, assessment and, in particular, during the development of class sessions. Initially the literatura on the subject of study is reviewed, in order to documents its potential in improving the didactic process, and to illustrate its implications for teacher professional development; likewise, the analysis focuses on inclusive education. Secondly, we presents the results of a teaching innovation project whose central axis is the implementation of this strategy by a group of teachers of the University of Cadiz, in various degrees related to the preservice teachers. Specifically, we present the students’ particular view on the subject “Processes and Educational Contexts” of the Master in Secondary Teacher Training. It is through the voice of the students that the co-teaching model, carried out in this experience with the “pedagogical partners” , get its pedagogical value and is placed as a motor so that the students can project it towards its future practice.Keywords: co-teaching, pedagogical pair, inclusive education, initial teacher training.

Fernando Lozano Gómez, Alfonso Álvarez-Ossorio Rivas, and Victor Sánchez Domínguez assess the conclusions of several successive research projects on teaching innovation funded by the University of Seville. Members of the Department of Ancient History developed these projects that are indebted to game based learning. The main goal was to present History in all its complexity, without simple explanations, and to improve the student’s general knowledge of the subject by promoting autonomous learning. The paper presents the new teaching materials created by the members of the project. These include an open access handbook with specific teaching tools, instructions for autonomous learning through historical role-play, and the use of timeline playing cards in the university classroom for learning History.

Resumen Habiendo detectado la necesidad de actualizar las técnicas docentes empleadas por el profesorado universitario, estamos desarrollando, en colaboración con el Departamento de Ciencias Naturales del Colegio Cristo Rey de Jaén, el proyecto titulado “Transferencia de prácticas docentes de trabajo cooperativo del ámbito pre-universitario a la docencia práctica de asignaturas de Grado y Postgrado en la Universidad de Jaén”, concedido en la Convocatoria de Proyectos de Innovación e Incentivación de las Buenas Prácticas Docentes en la Universidad de Jaén y que implica a cuatro áreas de la Facultad de Ciencias Experimentales. En concreto en el área de Microbiología hemos desarrollado un bloque de prácticas mediante la técnica de Aprendizaje Basado en Problemas y el resto mediante la metodología tradicional de explicación previa del profesor y desarrollo de la práctica. Tanto la motivación del profesorado como de los estudiantes ha mejorado tras la aplicación de esta técnica docente. La adquisición de competencias también ha sido superior en las prácticas desarrolladas con esta metodología, en comparación con las desarrolladas por el método tradicional. Concluimos que esta metodología docente se puede adaptar perfectamente a la enseñanza universitaria, puede facilitar la comprensión del fundamento teórico y la adquisición de competencias en algunas clases prácticas, además de mejorar la motivación tanto del profesorado como de los estudiantes. Abstract Pre-university teachers have probed experience in applying new and innovative teaching methods, so we have been guided by professors from the High School “Cristo Rey Jaén” to develop these techniques in the scope of applicability of a Teaching Innovation Project titled “Transfer of collaborative teaching techniques from pre-university levels to practical classes at the University of Jaén”, that we obtained from this University and that implies the joint effort of four areas of knowledge in the Faculty of Experimental Sciences at the University of Jaén. Problem-Based Learning (PBL), a pedagogical approach and curriculum design methodology often used in higher education, has been used in practical classes in the Microbiology Unit. We have detected higher drive in both, teachers and students in those practical classes conducted with this methodology, when compared to traditional techniques. Proficiency acquired by students was also higher when applying this methodology, so we conclude it can be perfectly transposed to University in order to improve the understanding of the theoretical basis of practical classes, the competence acquisition by students and to increase the motivation of both, teachers and students.

The authors, József Benedek and Egon Nagy, university teachers of Social Geography at the University of Kolozsvár, conclude their analysis with the warning that the subject of the rates and number of Hungarians and half-Hungarians in Transylvania should be treated more delicately. It is certain that the ethnical losers of the socialist industrialization and village-to-town migration were the Transylvanian cities where, before the First World War, the Hungarian inhabitants formed a majority - in 1956 Kolozsvár, Hunyad, Nagyvárad etc. were mostly hungarian cities. In 2002, only Szalonta and Érmihályfalva could be counted as such. Previous researches failed to notice a group of communities where changes seemed to favor the numbers of the Hungarian population. Future strategies have to build upon this fact. The ethnic homogenization of the villages was a success especially in villages lying close to the cities, and in strongly industrialized communities. But in the traditional hungarian ethnic enclosures (in Kalotaszeg, Mezőség) we can distinguish a group, where the rate of hungarian inhabitants has grown
