Este documento tiene como objetivo principal servir de orientación a estudiantes que se enfrentan a la tarea de diseñar, elaborar y redactar un TFE. Lo que se pretende es servir de ayuda dando instrucciones claras de los pasos a seguir. A lo largo de las páginas de esta guía explicaremos de forma breve y práctica el proceso de elaboración de un Trabajo Fin de Estudios (en adelante TFE), tanto de Grado, como de Máster (TFG/TFM), y aclararemos las pautas para una correcta presentación formal de la investigación. Se explicará la estructura, el formato, los tipos de investigación y sus apartados, en las distintas líneas de investigación de las autoras.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 7th International Conference on Concept Mapping, CMC 2016, held in Tallinn, Estonia, in September 2016. The 25 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 135 submissions. The papers address issues such as facilitation of learning; eliciting, capturing, archiving, and using “expert” knowledge; planning instruction; assessment of “deep” understandings; research planning; collaborative knowledge modeling; creation of “knowledge portfolios”; curriculum design; eLearning, and administrative and strategic planning and monitoring.

Este es un libro pensado por y para ser un manual de consulta que oriente a los estudiantes en la realización de trabajos fin de máster (TFM) en investigación educativa. Se centra en cada uno de los aspectos que pueden mejorar la calidad de los trabajos, lo cual permitirá hacer frente a cualquier duda que le pudiera surgir a un estudiante y servirá de material de referencia para el profesorado universitario que dirija el TFM. Seguramente, los estudiantes cuentan con un bagaje y formación importante para el desarrollo de los TFM, pero en este libro iremos un poco más allá, exponiendo consejos más útiles y viables a la hora de realizar trabajos de alta calidad. Por ello, en esta obra participa un gran número de profesores universitarios procedentes de diferentes universidades presenciales y semipresenciales, volcados todos ellos en la innovación docente en torno a la realización de trabajos fin de título y que han procurado ofrecer, cada uno desde su especialidad, las mejores recomendaciones sobre la elaboración de TFM de investigación educativa. A tal efecto, el libro presenta una estructura modular en la que los capítulos se conectan entre sí, pero, a la par, posibilitan la lectura por separado. Todo ello, con el propósito de que los alumnos tomen un control autónomo de su propio aprendizaje en relación con sus necesidades e intereses de cara a emprender el camino de la realización de un TFM con la máxima garantía de éxito.

This brilliant and revolutionary theory of multiple intelligences reexamines the goals of education to support a more educated society for future generations. Howard Gardner’s concept of multiple intelligences has been hailed as perhaps the most profound insight into education since the work of Jerome Bruner, Jean Piaget, and even John Dewey. Here, in The Disciplined Mind, Garner pulls together the threads of his previous works and looks beyond such issues as charters, vouchers, unions, and affirmative action in order to explore the larger questions of what constitutes an educated person and how this can be achieved for all students. Gardner eloquently argues that the purpose of K–12 education should be to enhance students’ deep understanding of the truth (and falsity), beauty (and ugliness), and goodness (and evil) as defined by their various cultures. By exploring the theory of evolution, the music of Mozart, and the lessons of the Holocaust as a set of examples that illuminates the nature of truth, beauty, and morality, The Disciplined Mind envisions how younger generations will rise to the challenges of the future—while preserving the traditional goals of a “humane” education. Gardner’s ultimate goal is the creation of an educated generation that understands the physical, biological, and societal world in their own personal context as well as in a broader world view. But even as Gardner persuasively argues the merits of his approach, he recognizes the difficulty of developing one universal, ideal form of education. In an effort to reconcile conflicting educational viewpoints, he proposes the creation of six different educational pathways that, when taken together, can satisfy people’s concern for student learning and their widely divergent views about knowledge and understanding overall.

Both educators and their students are involved in the process of assessment – all parties are expected to meet and exceed expectations in the face of competing conditions. New practices are being developed to enhance students’ participation, especially in their own assessment, be it though peer-review, reflective assessment, the introduction of new technologies, or other novel solutions. Though widely researched, few have measured these innovations’ effectiveness in terms of satisfaction, perceived learning, or performance improvements. Innovative Practices for Higher Education Assessment and Measurement bridges the gap between political discourse, theoretical approach, and teaching practices in terms of assessment in higher education. Bringing new insights and presenting novel strategies, this publication brings forth a new perception of the importance of assessment and offers a set of successful, innovative practices. This book is ideal for educators, administrators, policy makers, and students of education.
