This manuscript presents an innovative experience in the teaching–learning process with three objectives. The first is to incorporate the principles and values of social justice, reciprocity and solidarity in the subject ‘Statistics Applied to Business’ in the bachelor’s degree in Business Administration and Management at the University of the Basque Country. The second objective addresses how to apply active methodologies in the teaching of economics and business from a competency-based approach in order to investigate its impact. The third one, on the other hand, tries to explore how to provide students with active distance learning tools to improve and guarantee the quality of the teaching–learning process. The results of the experience demonstrate the potential of technical subjects for the development of transversal competencies and the capacity of students to design and solve complex problems with creativity and knowledge of social and labour realities. Likewise, greater motivation, better knowledge acquisition and appropriation of the work by the students are also detected. Finally, this article shows the potential of methodologies that involve the combined responsibility of students and teachers in the generation of knowledge that favours a professional development that is permeable and sensitive to the changes occurring in the social and labour world.   Keywords: Problem-based learning, distance teaching, pandemic, teaching innovation

The idea, proposed in this work, is that who are introducing educational innovation in University teaching should focus more on the renewal of a curriculum more than in a single course's changes. University teaching innovation  often focuses on the changes introduced within a single discipline through the adoption of some educational technologies or new teaching-learning-evaluation methods,  keeping the focus only on the single discipline and not on the curriculum as a whole. With reference to the work of  Ronald Harden about the eight roles of the university teacher, we underline  the role of  Curriculum developer and implementer. Six models are proposed to classify the introduction of innovative curricula. The different ways by which Problem Based Learning was introduced in university curricula are described  as  examples of the six models.

In this work we present the development and preliminary evaluation of several problem-based video podcasts addressed to students of the subject “Coding and Cryptography”. Specifically, this experiment has been carried out with the students of both the Bachelor’s degree in Mathematics and the Master’s degree of Mathematical Research and Modelling, Statistics and Computation, at the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU). Our results suggest that students found these complementary videos helpful for their learning process, indicating that this methodology could be appropriate for subjects treating complex concepts, such as those in the last years of degree or in master courses.

Model C

In a teaching-learning process, it is essential that the evaluation is summative and formative, from an analytical and holistic basis so that the process is comprehensive and integrates the work that the student has developed throughout the course, for example, a portfolio of evidence. Van der Schaaf and Stokking (2008) state that a portfolio of evidence integrates elements that must be related to each other, in order to be considered valid and reliable to evaluate the teaching-learning process, the elements are: a) the teacher model, b) the task model, c) the scoring model and d) the interpretation model. The objective of this research is to analyze the use of the portfolio of evidence as an evaluation tool within the teaching-learning process, for the Competency-Based Educational Model of the University of Guanajuato. This is a quantitative research with descriptive scope. A 22-item questionnaire was used considering the instrument developed by Romero and Crisol (2011) called "Opinion, satisfaction, usefulness and feelings of students about the use of the portfolio in learning and self-evaluation". The instrument was applied to a sample of 183 students of the Bachelor's Degree in International Commerce of the Economic-Administrative Sciences Division of the University of Guanajuato, distributed in four different Learning Units. The results indicate that students consider important the use of the portfolio of evidence as part of their teaching-learning process. In the part of satisfaction, usefulness and feelings, the students consider that the use of the portfolio is very important as a pertinent and adequate tool, and it is considered useful for learning, since besides serving as reinforcement, it implies a free and creative exercise. As conclusions of the study, the importance of the portfolio of evidence as a method of evaluation in accordance with the Educational Model by Competencies of the University of Guanajuato, which has also been well received at least by the sample of this study, is manifested. As future lines of research, it is expected to expand the sample to other careers and learning units to verify the applicability of the results of the study.

The framework of the European Higher Education Area (EHEA) has turned the student into the main protagonist of the new educational scenario, and the teacher into the coordinator of teaching-learning process instead of transmitter of knowledge. In this new model of learning, the use of ICT is facilitating competency-based learning and the autonomous use of educational resources by the student. In view of this situation, e-learning platform Moodle gives teachers and students a tool that extends and improves the teaching-learning process, and that makes possible the creation of virtual subjects to develop a virtual- presence model which can favour the self-learning, the participation and the acquisition not only of specific skills in our discipline, but also of instrumental skills, personal and systemic. Therefore, the objective of this paper is to share our experience in relation with the virtual university and with the development of an education in Accounting supported by the Moodle platform and new ICTs, with their advantages and disadvantages, putting forward the global design that has been applied to the virtual subject and what technological tools have been considered relevant to achieve our educational aims.

This chapter deals with the implementation of a teaching innovation in the context of higher education, based on the creation of 3D-videos through the use of cooperative learning and the development of digital teaching competence in English as a foreign language teacher training. Specifically, this methodological proposal is situated within the framework of the course Foreign Language for Primary School Teachers (English) of the Degree in Primary Education at the University of Cordoba, Spain, and it has been implemented in three academic years (2016-17, 2017-18, and 2018-19). The most important result of this study is that CL strategies develop pre-service EFL teachers' engagement in learning and improving their knowledge on English and enhance their digital competence while reducing the achievement gap with lower-achievement pre-service teachers thanks to heterogeneous groups. Nevertheless, this process of teaching innovation highlights that there is still much to be done to maximize the impact of cooperative learning in foreign language teaching-learning processes.

Teaching Perceptions

The present study is an investiagtion of distance teaching as an alternative to in-person classes during a lockdown. The study aims at unveiling the teachers and students’ perceptions and attitudes towards e-teaching/learning during a pandemic crisis. As an alternative to face -to face interviews with the teachers and the students because of the sanitary conditions, the tools have been adapted to existing conditions. To obtain data, two tools have been used online, a semi- structured interview with (n 51) master students and a lickert scale questionnaire for (n 18) teachers in the department of English in the university Abdelhamid Ibn Badis in Algeria.Findings revealed the reluctance in the exclusive use of distance teaching by the majority of teachers and the students. The great majority of them also prefers in person classes.This is justified by technical difficulties, lack of comprehension, poor internet flow and a lack of training.
