In this research, through the development of a teaching innovation project, the aim is to highlight the importance of educational and pedagogical changes that require both the adaptation of teaching to new situations and the possibility of taking advantage of the available resources to be applied in different degrees (master and degree) simultaneously.For this, the innovation experience carried out by a group of professors from the University of Granada who teach subjects in the CiTPA Master, MARA Master and Degree in Conservation and Restoration of Cultural Assets is presented. It addresses the development of unpublished teaching material (videos, manuals for the application of analytical techniques and the use of specialized software, all in a bilingual version), for its integration into different subjects in which it is necessary to make different research techniques known, use of specific software and precise operational activities that are used for the characterization of materials.Competency-based learning through innovation offers students a real and applied experience that has an immediate practical and professional implication, taking advantage of the skills of the new generations. The results, expected in future evaluations, must be analyzed both individually and for the group of subjects, being recognized in advance the good result and the facilities that teamwork, the recognition of skills and the facilities entail in the field of the teacher, the selection of common competences between different subjects and training levels.

Resumen:Actualmente es visible la necesidad de una renovación metodológica, de reformar el sistema educativo centrado en la enseñanza del profesor, para conseguir un modelo centrado en el aprendizaje activo del alumnado. Para realizar esta difícil transición metodológica numerosos estudios apuestan por el uso de las metodologías activas. Este trabajo, inscrito en el marco de un Proyecto de Innovación Educativa de la Universidad del País Vasco (UPV/EHU), tiene como objetivo determinar la efectividad y validez de varias de estas técnicas cooperativas, implementadas en distintas materias, cursos y especialidades en la Facultad de Educación y Deporte de Vitoria-Gasteiz, partiendo del análisis de las valoraciones que sobre ellas ha realizado el alumnado. Los resultados, recogidos a través de cuestionarios, apuntan a una excelente aceptación de las técnicas empleadas por parte del alumnado; constatando su efectividad en el desarrollo del aprendizaje activo y cooperativo y confirmando la importancia de la selección de cada técnica en función de los objetivos docentes, así como su modificación y adecuación a estos y al grupo o asignatura en el que se implementa. Abstract:Currently is visible the need for a methodological renewal, that is, the need for a reform of the education system focused on teacher education, for a model focused on active learning of students. To perform this difficult methodological transition, numerous studies opt for the use of active methodologies. This work, written in the framework of an Educational Innovation Project of the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU), aims to determine the effectiveness and validity of several cooperative techniques, implemented in different subjects, courses and specialties in the Faculty of Education and Sports of Vitoria-Gasteiz, starting from the analysis of the assessments about the techniques made by students. The results, collected through questionnaires, point to an excellent acceptance of the techniques used by the students; confirming its effectiveness in the development of active and cooperative learning, and confirming the importance of the selection of each technique according to the teaching objectives, as well as its modification and adaptation to these and to the group or subject in which it was implemented.

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.

ResumenEl aprendizaje es experiencia, todo lo demás es información. (Albert Einstein). En nuestras escuelas, ¿informamos o creamos experiencias? ¿Cómo vieron la luz los grandes inventos y las teorías que hoy usamos en nuestro día a día? ¿Cuáles son las diferencias y similitudes entre los inventores y nuestros alumnos? ¿La docencia que yo realizo en el aula inspira a mis estudiantes a ser unos apasionados de lo que están haciendo, motivados por lo que van a descubrir y la utilidad que va tener para ellos, en su ámbito personal, profesional y, para la sociedad? Este artículo describe la experiencia y los resultados del Proyecto de Innovación Docente desarrollado en la Escuela Técnica Superior de Ingeniería de Edificación de la Universidad de Granada. Los procesos metodológicos aplicados para mejorar la docencia, los resultados académicos y el crecimiento personal de cada participante. Se ha basado en tres iniciativas clave: a) Docencia coordinada basada en proyectos entre las cinco asignaturas del semestre. Se ajustan cronogramas y se usa un único modelo arquitectónico como objeto práctico para todas las asignaturas, se complementa la evaluación individual de los estudiantes con una defensa oral ante los profesores de las asignaturas. b) Adaptación de las clases, basada en la neuroeducación, para evocar la curiosidad, la atención y la memorización. c) Talleres formativos y proceso individual de coaching. En los primeros se desarrolla el aprendizaje cooperativo entre iguales, (interdependencia positiva), gestión del tiempo, formas de ser en el aula, el arte de emocionar en público, toma de decisiones y gestión de conflictos. En el segundo, proceso de acompañamiento realizado por un coach acreditado, por el cual mediante preguntas reveladoras y dinámicas, al estilo de la mayéutica socrática, el estudiante potencia sus virtudes y habilidades e identifica creencias limitantes, transformándolas para crear resultados diferentes.AbstractLearning is experience, all else is information. (Albert Einstein). In our schools, do we inform or create experiences? How did the great inventions and the theories that we use in our day to day life come to light? What are the differences and similarities between the inventors and our students? Does The teaching that I carry out in the classroom inspires my students to be passionate about what they are doing, motivated by what they will discover and the utility that it will have for them, in their personal and professional environment and, for society? This article describes the experience and results of the Teaching Innovation Project developed at the School of Building Engineering at the University of Granada. The methodological processes applied to improve teaching, academic results and personal growth of each participant. It has been based on three key initiatives: a) Coordinated teaching based on projects among the five subjects of the semester. Schedules are adjusted and a single architectural model is used as a practical object for all subjects, the individual assessment of the students is complemented with an oral defense before the subject teachers. b) Adaptation of classes, based on neuroeducation, to evoke curiosity, attention and memorization. c) Training workshops and individual coaching process. In The first of them, cooperative learning among equals (positive interdependence), time management, ways of being in classroom, the art of thrilling in public, decision making and conflict management are developed. In the second, a process of accompanying conducted by an accredited coach, through revealing and dynamic questions, in the style of Socratic maieutic, the student strengthens their virtues and abilities and identifies limiting beliefs, transforming them to create different results.

This paper illustrates the complicated process of formulating a library consortium in Sri Lanka, and the process of preliminary activities, selection of databases, awareness raising and training and the later developments are presented as a case study, using appropriate Tables, Figures and textual discussions. Insights are provided to the factors that contributed to the slow but steady establishment and development including the support of the top management of the University Grants Commission, participation of as many academics as possible and the collaborative nature of the implementation process. This is the first ever paper written on the formulation of the Sri Lankan consortium and the publishing will help many researchers to gain firsthand information about its beginnings. Also, the library leaders from other countries where the socio-economic and attitudinal conditions are similar can use the lessons learnt from this initiative for their benefit.

The present work aims at presenting a teaching innovation project, the B-SMART, which has been implemented at UIC Barcelona in the academic year 2018/19. Conceived as a project to respond to social demands, the B-SMART project aims at creating a collaborative environment and at strengthening the ties between companies (mainly targeted to SMEs, start-ups and NGOs) and the university. To do so, students work on real challenges or projects posed by companies. This approach helps students to better understand the theoretical concepts taught in class as well as to boost soft skills that will be required in their daily practice. In turn, companies gain access to new talent (students), fresh ideas, and the knowledge and infrastructures available at the university. In this study we explain the project and pay special attention to the first two projects solved through the B-SMART project. We use design thinking as the teaching method. Preliminary results show that both students and companies benefit from this experience.

This paper describes the main contributions by students from a Teaching Innovation Project (2005) at the University of Córdoba focused on a part-time attendance teaching methodology (blended learning) through a virtual space within the degree of Educational Psychology. The most relevant contributions to the project (later applied in the Faculty of Educational Sciences in the University of Granada, Spain) are also collected. The students’ thoughts on the strengths and weakness as the main receptors of teaching in the European Space are an important factor in the improvement of teaching restructuring, based on the training necessities of all the educational agents involved directly and indirectly in this moment of change (teachers, students, educational authorities, etc.). Este trabajo describe las principales aportaciones presentadas por el alumnado, con motivo de la puesta en práctica de un proyecto de innovación docente (2005) en la Universidad de Córdoba, centrado en el desarrollo de una metodología docente semipresencial (blended learning) me diante un entorno virtual en la titulación de Psicopedagogía. También se recogen los resultados más significativos del mismo proyecto implementado posteriormente en la Facultad de Ciencias de la Educación de la Universidad de Granada. La reflexión acerca de las fortalezas y debilidades manifestadas por los destinatarios directos del proceso de convergencia europeo, como son los estudiantes, permitirá la mejora de la reestructuración de una enseñanza acorde con las necesidades formativas de todos los agentes educativos implicados directa o indirectamente en este momento de cambio (profesorado, alumnado, autoridades educativas, etc.).

The incorporation of the new audiovisual technology to the closest social field allows you to use your familiarity and easy access to the research and teaching disciplines of learning also in the university. In particular, it is of utmost importance for the Teaching Innovation Project (TIP) that is addressed in this document: “Virtual, Augmented and Mixed Realities Techniques Applied to University Research and Teaching in the field of Physics”. It has great advantages for training / learning especially for the last generations, so familiar with all kinds of audiovisual technology. Obviously, introductory complements to the field of specific competencies are needed so that the fundamental training and meaningful learning objective comes to fruition. For this, it is necessary to have a good information base on Physics treated through Virtual, Augmented and Mixed Realities Techniques, in order to be able to select the appropriate information and level in each of the TIP stages. This base is susceptible to evolution and improvement if sufficient tools and knowledge are available. In addition, it will be possible to generate new procedures based on the strengths and weaknesses appreciated in this TIP.

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.
