The paper reports first of all the results of several studies on misconceptions and mental schemes many researchers carried out in different disciplines and several countries. At the end of this section an overview of open questions and unresolved problems concerning knowledge construction is reported. The paper continues describing the different ways computers entered in education and how they were used to help students in overcoming their difficulties. At last a snapshot of the influence of the Internet phenomenon on the educational processes follows. The last sections propose the analysis of two experiences the author made up with the use of Web technologies and suggest the adoption of an Information system to hit the following target: to improve the everyday work of teachers, to help students in overcoming their wrong ideas, to deepen the analysis of students' ideas and attitudes when they approach scientific disciplines and to redefine the relations existing among the disciplines involved in the study of teaching/learning processes.

Technology has significantly brought changes in all aspects of human life, the changes that occur require everyone to change from old habits to new habits that are not used to be done. Changes in general in face-to-face classes began to shift to virtual classes. Even the elements of education have undergone many changes both parents, students and teachers. They experience new teaching patterns and ways of teaching. Learning places are transformed and can be done at home, public places, and so on. Time and place are no longer a barrier to teaching and learning activities because they can be done online. Online learning is carried out by utilizing existing technology through media that uses the internet to carry out teaching and learning processes such as cellphones and laptops. This media will support the teaching and learning process through available applications such as whatsApp, google classroom and so on. Learning brings many challenges and obstacles faced by parents in particular. Of course this is a challenge in itself for parents in monitoring children's learning activities, especially in the application of technology as a learning medium for children.

This study aimed to identify the main decisions made by pedagogical leaders, comprising institutional management teams, heads of departments, and teachers in general, in order to improve teaching–learning processes and promote the comprehensive education of students—in particular, secondary school students during the pandemic period, located in the regions of Andalusia and Madrid (Spain). An integrated mixed methodology was applied, composed of the contributions of discussion groups and content analysis of the corresponding open questions presented in each of the constitutive dimensions of the questionnaire. Such analyses were expanded by applying an ad-hoc designed questionnaire, which indicates the main actions developed by leaders and their implications in the educational community, when working on communication facilitation processes, using program planning through the support of technologies and decision making regarding the training of teachers, didactic resources, and the emergence of competences to be trained by the leaders participating in the research. The results highlight the dedication, commitment, and implication of pedagogical leaders during the COVID-19 period.

Teachers look for suitable models that provide university students with the conditions and essential elements that stimulate the development of skills and competences for a lifetime. The concept of learning environments is not only to talk about infrastructure, materials or support resources, which in some way are important, but that in itself, the essence of this will depend on the initiative, creativity, capacity and interaction of the person who be at the forefront of the teaching-learning process that is the facilitator. The objective was to know the environment through which the student learns better as part of the appropriation of knowledge and knowledge construction. A group of student (n=40), of the course of Management of Animal Health and Welfare of the Veterinary Degree, was evaluated through a descriptive design through virtual environments (T1), within the classroom (2) and real environments (T3). The best environment being T3, followed by T1. The purpose of learning environments is to provide resources and develop conditions that contribute and facilitate the acquisition of knowledge. On the other hand, the learning processes well used contribute to the acquisition of learning while providing attitudes and values in the student.

Se describe la utilización de una metodología bimodal (Virtual/presencial) de aprendizaje sustentada en el diseño y mantenimiento de juegos de rol como estrategias mediadoras de conocimiento e interacciones comunicativas a través de la utilización de la Plataforma Virtual de la Pontificia Universidad Javeriana (BlackBoard®) como soporte tecnológico. Los resultados obtenidos muestran cualitativamente el desarrollo de habilidades comunicativas en los participaciones y varios manifestaciones de creatividad en el desarrollo de las actividades propuestas lo que sugiere amplias posibilidades de generalizar la aplicación de los juegos de rol como alternativas pedagógicas para facilitar los procesos de enseñanza y aprendizaje en escenarios virtuales de capacitación – formación en donde la clave del éxito del proceso depende de la fluidez de la comunicación y los lazos construidos a partir de esta entre docentes y estudiantes.AbstractThis article describes the use of a bimodal methodology (virtual / in classroom setting), supported in the design of role plays as a mediating strategy for knowledge construction and communicative interactions to take place. This is achieved by means of a virtual platform used at Javeriana University  (BlackBoard®) which serves as the technological support. The results obtained qualitatively show the development of communicative skills among the participants, and manifestations of creativity in the activities proposed. This suggests ample possibilities to generalize the use of role plays as a pedagogical alternative to facilitate the teaching/learning processes in virtual scenarios for professional development growth, where the key to success in the process depends on the flow of communication and the ties built between teachers and students.

AbstractIn a society that has to reconcile two areas which are conceptually very distant from each other, such as interdisciplinarity and specialization, the education for young people is essential to form a thought to understand complexity, thanks also to the stimuli deriving from increasingly powerful and interconnected technological and IT environments. So, it is essential to identify teaching–learning processes and methods that allow students to understand and act adequately with a constantly evolving reality. Transdisciplinary themes can be introduced to enrich the students' curriculum by anchoring them strongly to the wealth of emerging technologies, using their potential and designing educational activities focused on technology and attractive to the various spheres of knowledge. In this paper is presented an experimental activity of designing Smart objects in the Internet of Things conducted with students of the “Mathematical High School” project.

The Soviet Union of the 1920s produces and supports multiple connections between the policy of work in factories and the research in medical, neurological, and collective physiology. The theatrical and cinematic work of S. M. Eisenstein forms a specific prism where these interconnections appear in a spectrum of concrete attempts to engage the factory as an aesthetic and political model. The factory as a concrete topos which Eisenstein exploits in Gas Masks and Strike questions the interrelations between the human body and machine in a new iconology of a striking factory. For the duration of the Strike, the factory is represented beyond any functionality: the workers’ body movements and gestures are all the more expressive the less they have to do with their everyday work. This modulated status of production appears in Capital, Eisenstein’s unfulfilled project to realize Marx’s political economy with methods of inner monologue invented by Joyce. This last project transfigures the factory strike into the structure of cinematographic thinking where the neuro-sensorial stimuli constantly strike the logic of the everyday consciousness in the non-personal, polyphonic, and intimate monologue.
