El presente documento presenta los resultados de un proyecto de investigación e innovación educativa llevado a cabo durante dos cursos académicos consecutivos. A través de la inclusión de herramientas como la rúbrica, y estrategias como la coevaluación y la autoevaluación, se ha investigado la mejora del rendimiento y la motivación en alumnos de primer año de grado en arquitectura de la universidad de Sevilla. concretamente en el temario del sistema axonométrico, las proyecciones ortogonales y la normalización. Esta investigación se ha desarrollado en cuatro grupos distintos de dos centros de enseñanza. Dos de los grupos recibieron en el curso académico 2018/2019 la formación de forma tradicional y los otros dos fueron sometidos al proyecto de innovación durante el curso académico 2019/2020. La motivación inicial de ambos grupos fue bastante similar. En el grupo experimental se observó una mejora significativa de la motivación tras la impartición del temario. Tras la aplicación del PIE, el aumento de la motivación ha sido más notable que el del rendimiento académico. La autoevaluación y la coevaluación han impactado de forma directa y positiva en la motivación de los alumnos, y se relaciona directamente con el rendimiento académicoAbstractThis document presents the results of an educational research and innovation project carried out during two consecutive academic years. Through the inclusion of tools such as the rubric, and strategies such as co-evaluation and self-evaluation, the improvement of performance and motivation in first year bachelor students has been investigated, specifically in the axonometric system syllabus, orthogonal projections, and normalization. This research has been developed in four different groups of two teaching centres. Two of the groups received traditional training in the 2018/2019 academic year and the other two were subjected to the innovation project during the 2019/2020 academic year. The initial motivation of both groups was quite similar. In the experimental group, a significant improvement in motivation was observed after teaching the syllabus. After the application of the PLE, the increase in motivation has been more remarkable than that of academic performance. Self-evaluation and co-evaluation have had a direct and positive impact on student motivation and are directly related to academic performance.

The transition to college is challenging for most students, especially those who aspire to major in the science, technology, engineering, or mathematics disciplines, in which introductory courses can be large and instruction less than optimal. This paper describes a novel, disciplinary first-year seminar (FYS) course, Exploring Biology, designed to address many of the challenges facing aspiring biology students beginning their academic careers at a large public research university. The course addresses typical FYS goals, such as community building, introduction to resources, and academic skill development, and introduces students to the core concepts of biology defined in the 2011 Vision and Change report. Relative to a matched comparison group of students, Exploring Biology alumni were retained at higher rates and had higher levels of academic performance in a subsequent introductory biology course, suggesting Exploring Biology has a positive impact on future academic performance in the discipline. Results from course evaluations and an alumni survey show that, overall, students valued both the FYS components and biology components of the course. These results provide evidence that the Exploring Biology disciplinary FYS model is an intervention that may increase academic success and retention in biology.

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.

In the actual context of a great diversity of information sources, the discipline of Ethics and Academic Integrity (EAI) was introduced recently in the first year of the Master's studies. As part of the school activity, the access to anti-plagiarism software was made available to teachers and students. The current pandemic has forced the transition from classical classes to the use of the eLearning platform. In this paper the application of the methods of antiplagiarism verification to the distance teaching and the obtained results are described. The conclusions are expressed by comparing the results obtained for the discipline developed through the eLearning platform with those obtained in the previous years in a face-toface teaching manner and with those of the EAI discipline carried out in the first semester of this academic year as well.

This study primarily aimed to identify the mechanism through which behavioral and emotional factors relate to Japanese dental students’ academic performance, and secondarily to explain which emotional and behavioral factors and academic performance are related to dental students’ depression. A questionnaire survey was administered to 92 first-year undergraduate dental students during the 2018 academic year at a Japanese university. Regarding the mechanism of students’ academic performance, results of path analysis revealed that procrastination behavior positively affected emotional irritation and emotional irritation negatively affected academic performance. Correlation analysis revealed that depression tendency was positively related to emotional irritation and procrastination behavior. This study shows that undergraduate dental students’ stable emotion (lack of irritation) is likely associated with their academic success and their psychological health. Hence, to aid in the reduction of dental students’ depression and to improve their academic performance, we propose that educators should display acceptance of students’ emotions as an alternative to suggesting solutions from their own viewpoint.

<p>Student absenteeism is common across universities. Learning through attending lectures and tutorials is still expected in our technological age, though there are major changes in how information in lectures and tutorials can be transmitted via the use of iLearn and related packages, by video streaming of classes and by online technology generally. Consequently, availability of these supplementary resources and, in general terms, the issue of physical absence from classes, raises the question of whether missing class impacts on student learning. Does it matter if students attend classes or not? The aim of the current study was to assess whether student attendance in tutorials in first year subjects in psychology was associated with academic performance, that is, was attendance linked with improved performance? We took data from tutor held records on attendance and on results for article review assignments and laboratory reports for a total of 383 students who completed introductory psychology courses in classes over the years 2012-2015. The hypothesis that class attendance and performance would be significantly related was supported in 13 of the 14 class relationships examined separately, and, in the class that was the exception the correlation was in the expected direction. These results suggest that attending class continues to have a positive impact on student learning in this technological age. The limitations of the current study are discussed as are implications regarding instructor resource applications and/or compulsory class attendance policies.</p>

RESUMENEl objetivo de este trabajo, que forma parte de un proyecto de innovación docente más amplio, fue diseñar un plan concreto de orientación universitaria dirigido a los estudiantes de nuevo ingreso en la universidad. Se partió de las necesidades del alumnado, detectadas previamente en otro estudio, y a través de pequeños grupos de trabajo cooperativo y grupos de discusión formados por tutores, mentores y expertos en orientación se realizó la programación de las diferentes acciones de orientación y su distribución temporal para un curso escolar. Posteriormente se desarrollaron diseños concretos de propuestas de intervención para cada una de las sesiones de orientación, con materiales que sirviesen de guía y ejemplo para la acción orientadora de tutores y mentores. Tras la aplicación del programa en un curso académico se procedió a la evaluación de las acciones de orientación y de los materiales diseñados. Un 69.5% de estudiantes, un 88.9% de mentores y un 83.3% de tutores están de acuerdo o muy de acuerdo en que las actividades programadas resultaron útiles. En cuanto a los materiales, un 57.2% de estudiantes y prácticamente la totalidad de mentores y tutores están de acuerdo o muy de acuerdo en que fueron útiles. Los resultados confirman el impacto positivo del proyecto, que además podría ser transferible a otros centros. ABSTRACTThe objective of this work, which is part of a wider educational innovation project, was to design a concrete plan for university orientation aimed at new students entering university. Based on the needs of the students, previously identified in another study, and through small cooperative work groups and discussion groups of tutors, mentors and guidance experts, the different guidance actions were programmed and distributed over a school year. Subsequently, concrete intervention designs were developed for each of the orientation sessions, with materials that served as a guide and example for the guiding action of tutors and mentors. Following the implementation of the programme in an academic year, the orientation actions and the materials designed were evaluated. 69.5% of students, 88.9% of mentors and 83.3% of tutors agreed or strongly agreed that the activities planned were useful. In terms of materials, 57.2% of students and almost all mentors and tutors agree or strongly agree that they were useful. The results confirm the positive impact of the project, which could also be transferred to other centres.

Background: We investigated the effects of three different interventions on academic performance in students enrolled in the first year of high school. Methods: This was a cluster randomised controlled trial conducted with 1200 students enrolled in the first year of high school. Schools were randomly assigned to: 1. Doubling physical education (PE) classes (3:20 h of PE/week); 2. workshop with the PE teachers; 3. workshop with the PE teachers and doubling the PE classes; and 4. control group (1:40 h of PE/week). We assured that the schools within the groups were equal regarding: The structural condition of the sports court; number of PE teachers; number of school classes; and the average number of students per classroom. Results: Overall, the intervention was not effective in improving the students’ academic performance. However, the subgroup analysis showed that the workshop intervention group increased the academic performance of students who had failed an academic year (from 16 years of age), compared to their peers in the doubling the PE classes (1.3 points on average) and the control groups (1.4 points on average). Conclusions: Enhancing the pedagogical skills of the teachers is a promising approach in improving the academic performance of students who failed an academic year.

Background and Aim: The objectives were to determine the effect of examination stress explored by self-evaluation questionnaire, correlation of examination stress and impact of examination stress on the academic performance. Materials and Methods: A prospective cohort study was conducted on medical students to determine the examination stress explored by anxiety questionnaire, biochemical parameter and autonomic function tests. Fifty medical students studying in first academic year admitted for the first year were included in the study. Information about demographic, social, cultural, and life-style factors were collected using a proforma of questionnaire. Name, age, sex and nativity were also recorded. Stress was explored during first terminal examination since it was the first major examination faced by the students after entering into the professional course. One parameter was used to measure the level of stress; Spielberger State Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) self-evaluation questionnaire to measure the level of stress. Results: Anxiety levels dropped in post- examination period. In contrast abnormal autonomic functions did not decrease during post- examination period. In male and female students expected pattern of raised anxiety during examination and dropped anxiety scores in post- examination were observed. Conclusion: The results of this study should help understand the pattern of response to the examination stress and enable development of strategies that will assist the students to handle the stress in a more efficient manner.
