Abstract.The aim of this study is to describe the profile of the motivation to learn in students of Elementary and Secondary Education diagnosed as gifted, and to compare it with the profile of students of normal capacity. Despite that gifted students are considered the most skilled for study and homework, they suffer a high rate of low achievement in school. To explore a possible intervention, motivational variables have been chosen to study, as they are widely related to school success in the literature, and have been shown subject to change with proper interventions. This has been studied in a sample of 36 students (18 diagnosed as gifted and 18 of normal capacity) both Elementary Education and Secondary Education, analyzing their motivation through motivational part of the Learning Strategies Questionnaire and Motivation (CEAM) Ayala, Martinez and Yuste (2004), the 60 items measure the Value of learning, Intrinsic Motivation, Teamwork value, External Motivation, the feeling of Self-efficacy and an Internal Attribution of success. The questionnaire was collectively applied to all students in the classroom, then they were selected those diagnosed as gifted, and 18 pairs of the same characteristics with normal capacity to form the comparison group. Results appear consistent with previous scientific research. Gifted students, as a group, gave greater value to learning and had greater feeling of self-efficacy in the school environment that students of normal capacity, there are no major differences between the two groups of students about other motivational determinants.Key words: Gifted, Talented, motivation, motivational profile, low achievementResumen.El objetivo del presente estudio es describir el perfil de la motivación hacia el aprendizaje en alumnado de Educación Primaria y Secundaria con diagnóstico de alta capacidad, y comparar el mismo con el perfil del alumnado de capacidad normal. A pesar de que los alumnos de alta capacidad se consideran los más hábiles para el estudio y las tareas escolares, sufren una alta tasa de fracaso escolar. A la hora de explorar una posible intervención se ha optado por estudiar las variables motivacionales, ya que están ampliamente relacionadas en la literatura con el éxito escolar, y se han mostrado susceptibles de modificación con la intervención adecuada. Para ello se ha estudiado una muestra de 36 alumnos (18 diagnosticados de alta capacidad y 18 de capacidad normal) tanto de Educación Primaria como de Educación Secundaria, analizando la motivación de los mismos a través de la parte motivacional del Cuestionario de Estrategias de Aprendizaje y Motivación (CEAM) de Ayala, Martínez y Yuste (2004), cuyos 60 ítems miden la Valoración del estudio, la Motivación Intrínseca, la valoración del Aprendizaje en Grupo, la Necesidad de reconocimiento, el sentimiento de Autoeficacia y la Atribución interna del éxito. El cuestionario se ha aplicado de forma colectiva a todos los alumnos del aula, seleccionando después aquellos diagnosticados de alta capacidad, y 18 pares de las mismas características con capacidad normal que forman el grupo de comparación del estudio, Los resultados parecen consistentes con investigaciones científicas anteriores en las que los alumnos con alta capacidad como grupo dan mayor valor al aprendizaje y poseen mayor sentimiento de autoeficacia en el entorno escolar que el alumnado de capacidad normal, no existiendo diferencias mayores entre los dos grupos de alumnado en el resto de determinantes motivacionales.Palabras Clave: Alta Capacidad, superdotación, motivación, perfil motivacional, fracaso escolar.

Abstract:IMPACT OF LEARNING STRATEGIES, SELF-EFFICACY AND GENDER ON ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT STUDENT´S SECONDARY EDUCATIONThis paper analyses the impact of personal variables related to learning strategies, in the interaction with the gender, on academic achievement students´ secondary education. The study takes a sample of students from North of Portugal and from Galicia, and the results in a Subscale Academic Goals and Learning Strategies of Refema-57 Scale. The results show that learning strategies and toward self-efficacy have a significant and positive impact on academic achievement, and the superficial strategies (and exams anxiety) become very relevant, but in these cases the impact has a negative sense, and the differences of feminin gender become more relevant. Therefore, the ensemble of personal variables considered in this study explains 30% of total variance of students ´ academic achievement in North of Portugal, and only 12% in Galicia. Here, probably other variables related to family, the school, the curriculum or the teachers become more relevant.Key words: Academic goals, learning strategies, self-efficacy, academic achievement.Resumen:En este trabajo se analiza el impacto de variables personales relacionadas con las estrategias de aprendizaje, en interacción con el género, del alumnado de educación secundaria en su rendimiento académico. El estudio considera una muestra de alumnos de Norte de Portugal y de Galicia, y se ha utilizado la subescala de Metas Académicas y de Estrategias de Aprendizaje y Autoeficacia a partir de la Escala Refema-57. Los datos sugieren que las estrategias de aprendizaje y la autoeficacia se pueden asumir como factores determinantes positivos del rendimiento académico, existiendo también un impacto, pero en sentido negativo, de las estrategias superficiales de aprendizaje (de ansiedad ante los exámenes), siendo las diferencias encontradas mucho más relevantes en el género femenino. Sin embargo, este conjunto de variables personales del alumnado explican en torno a un 30% de la varianza del rendimiento académico global de los alumnos del Norte de Portugal, quedando ese valor en apenas un 12% cuando nos referimos al alumnado de Galicia. En estas muestras de alumnado, otras variables de la familia, de la escuela, del currículo o del profesor tendrán una mayor relevancia.Palabras clave: Estrategias de aprendizaje, autoeficacia, rendimiento académico.

Locus of control and academic self-efficacy are significant variables in foreign language learning that influence advancement in language acquisition and cognition, as well as building language skills. Previous research in the field of foreign language teaching has been partly related to cognitive and meta-cognitive learning strategies of gifted students. However, self-efficacy and locus of control of gifted have not been studied in our country, yet. This study investigates the effects of cognitive and meta-cognitive strategies on locus of control and self-efficacy of university students gifted in foreign language learning. The survey was conducted on a sample of 39 engineering students. The results show that cognitive strategies have significant and positive effects on academic self-efficacy, while meta-cognitive strategies have significant and positive effects on locus of control of gifted students.

Digital technologies offer new opportunities for learning in an increasingly connected society, in which learning to work with others and collaborate has become an extremely important skill. This article presents the results of a research study into the conceptions and practices of working teachers regarding collaborative learning methodologies mediated by information and communication technologies (ICT) in Elementary and Secondary Education schools. We analyze data concerning ICT contributions to collaborative work processes in the classroom, from the point of view of teachers at schools accredited with a high level of ICT by the Regional Government of Castile and Leon. We furthermore take into account the limitations of these tools, as well as teachers’ conceptions of collaborative learning strategies. The methodology is based on the content analysis of interviews of teachers from a representative sample of schools. The results indicate that teachers think that ICT have great potential for enhancing collaborative activities among students and for developing highly relevant generic skills, although they are also aware of the difficulties that both students and teachers face in educational practice. Las tecnologías digitales ofrecen nuevas oportunidades para el aprendizaje en una sociedad cada vez más conectada, en la cual aprender a trabajar con otros y colaborar se convierte en una competencia trascendental. El texto presenta resultados de una investigación sobre concepciones y prácticas del profesorado en ejercicio acerca de las metodologías de aprendizaje colaborativo mediadas por las tecnologías de la comunicación (TIC), en centros de enseñanza de Educación Primaria y Secundaria. En el artículo se analizan los datos referidos a las aportaciones de las TIC para llevar a cabo procesos de trabajo colaborativo en el aula, desde el punto de vista de los docentes de los centros acreditados con alto nivel TIC por la Junta de Castilla y León. También se expondrán las limitaciones que imponen estas herramientas, así como las concepciones docentes sobre las estrategias de aprendizaje colaborativo. La metodología se basa en el análisis de contenido de entrevistas realizadas a equipos docentes de una muestra representativa de centros educativos. Los resultados apuntan que en estos centros los docentes atribuyen a las TIC una alta potencialidad para enriquecer las actividades de trabajo colaborativo entre los estudiantes y conseguir el desarrollo de competencias transversales de gran relevancia, aunque son conscientes de las dificultades a las que tanto alumnos como profesores se enfrentan en la práctica educativa.

Academic Self Efficacy

Perceived academic self-efficacy represents an important component of students’ mental health and well-being. The link between efficacy beliefs and level of academic performances relies on the fact that they regulate the anxiety and foster motivation, school engagement, effort, and perseverance of students. This paper aims to identify factors that are conducive for more efficacious beliefs in different socio-economic and educational contexts. We build our analysis on data collected from a sample of Romanian upper secondary education students on their beliefs in relation to their ability to perform at the baccalaureate exam. We employ decision tree models in order to unveil the way factors interact and predict perceived academic self-efficacy, with focus on the positive support received from parents and teachers, as well as on features of the school environment. Our results can be useful for building more resilient educational environments that support mental health and academic well-being of students.
