En el contexto de enseñanza-aprendizaje de las Matemáticas, la autora identificó el problema, bajo desempeño académico en estudiantes de Primero de Bachillerato General Unificado (1ero BGU), de ahí que surge la propuesta de implementar una innovación educativa cuyo objetivo se centró en mejorar el desempeño académico, en función del desarrollo de la competencia matemática: Plantear y Resolver Problemas, e incrementar la motivación por el aprendizaje, utilizando estrategias de Gamificación a través de la plataforma Rezzly. Con respecto a la metodología, se trató de una investigación-acción que aplicó el método teórico hipotético-deductivo con un enfoque Mixto (Cuantitativo y Cualitativo –transversal-); empleó un diseño pre-experimental con pre y pos prueba a un solo grupo de 49 participantes. Acerca de los resultados, la prueba t-Student para dos muestras relacionadas corroboró una variación en el desempeño académico de los estudiantes, antes y después de la innovación (preprueba: 3,91; posprueba: 8,33). Al final se concluyó que aplicar la estrategia de Gamificación como apoyo a las clases presenciales y con un papel protagónico en las clases virtuales desarrolla la competencia matemática: Plantear y Resolver Problemas, mejora el desempeño académico e incrementa la motivación en los estudiantes. Palabras claves: innovación educativa, innovación tecnológica, competencia matemática: Plantear y Resolver Problemas, motivación, Rezzly. Summary In the context of teaching-learning of Mathematics, the author identified the problem, under academic performance in First Unified General Baccalaureate students (1st BGU). Hence, the proposal to implement an educational innovation whose objective was focused on improving academic performance, based on the development of mathematical competence: pose and solve problems, and increase the motivation for learning, using Gamification strategies through the Rezzly platform. With respect to the methodology, it was an action research that applied the hypothetical-deductive theoretical method with a Mixed (Quantitative and Qualitative -transversal-) approach; used a pre-experimental design with pre and post test to a single group of 49 participants. About the results, the t-Student test for two related samples corroborated a variation in students' academic performance, before and after the innovation (pre-test: 3.91, post-test: 8.33). In the end it was concluded that applying the Gamification strategy as a support to face-to-face classes and with a leading role in the virtual classes develops the mathematical competence: pose and solve problems, improve academic performance and increase student motivation.

The European Higher Education Area involves major changes in the teaching-learning process for the acquisition of transversal skills, such as social and citizens. It establishes a need for active methods, learning and so to develop in students the ability to make decisions and learn independently, reflective and critical promoting these skills. Considering the importance of a program, training in values and ethics of solidarity that joins the university curriculum (educational innovation program, PIE10-127), we performed a comparative study on ethical issues in college students before and after of their application the program and an evaluation of effectiveness of different active methodologies to promote solidarity skills acquisition, and its impact on performance. Participants in this study were 4103 university students, aged 18 and 57, of the Faculty of Psychology and Educational Sciences of the University of Málaga (2010-2012). The results show an increase in the acquisition of skills solidarity, following the implementation of the program and that the methodologies employed active, positive impact on academic performance. The relevant conclusion obtained, points to the need to reinforce and develop these values solidarity actions in college. Key words: academic performance, active methods, values, solidarity.

Using the right technique to teach writing is very important to help students overcome problems in writing. Think Pair Share (TPS) is a cooperative teaching-learning method that it is believed to help students improve their writing ability. Thus, the writers conducted an experimental study to tenth grade students at a senior high school in Banda Aceh to find out whether or not this technique could facilitate and improve the students’ writing of descriptive texts in English. The results showed that the TPS technique successfully improved the ability of students’ in writing, reflected by the post-test scores covering five aspects of writing. The progress before and after the technique was implemented can be seen in these average scores for the five aspects: content increased from 12 to 16, organization from 11 to 15, vocabulary from 9 to13, grammar from 8 to 10, and mechanics from 8 to 11 where the improvement for each aspect was 4, 4, 4, 2 and 3. Despite the results showed that the TPS technique was effective for improving the students’ mastery of organization, vocabulary and content, but less so for improving mechanics and grammar. This is probably because it is generally much easier to make improvements in organization, vocabulary and content but it requires a much longer effort with much more practice to significantly improve mechanics and grammar. Nevertheless, the writers suggest that English teachers and others can use the TPS technique to teach writing, hence some of the problems faced by students in writing can be helped and, more importantly, they can improve their ability to write English.

This research work shows a comparative study between using and not using the electronic module called Funcimat and its incidence in the students’ academic performance. The students who were considered for this experiment belonged to the first semester of the Agronomy School. This group, which was divided in two, served as the experiment and the control samples. The experiment was based on the teaching – learning process of Mathematics. Funcimat was applied to one group, and the traditional methodology and techniques were applied to the other group. In order to demonstrate the hypothesis, the Chi squared test was applied to see the difference of proportions and correlation since the idea is to compare Funcimat incidence on the academic performance. The results obtained before and after the experiment determined that there are significant differences between the traditional methodology and the alternative guidelines. Funcimat allows the students to build their own reasoning scenario about mathematical reasoning. This way they develop knowledge and skills to solve each one of the proposed mathematical functions.

Problem-based learning (PBL) in biology has been considered as one of the innovative contextual teaching designs, since students learn biology from problems (cases) of real life and it potentially encourage students’ metacognition.  This research was aimed at developing biology teaching devices, grounded in problem-based learning approaches and metacognition habits, and identifying their  effect on students’ learning achievement and metacognition.  The large field testing was implemented on 33 students, using  pre-experimental design group single pre-test – post test design. Experimental data was analysed quantitatively.  The findings showed that (1) there was a significant effect of the use of the innovative lesson devices on student learning achievement and metacognition which is measured using questionnaire metacognitive (MAI). Metacognition scores were more likely to be  improved, before and after treatment (0.36 middle). High metecognition scores were on planning aspects (0.42 middle) and the lowest score of metecognition was on executing aspects (0,29); (2) learning achievement was also improved, before and after treatment.  N-gain score was 0.52 (middle). The total contribution of the lesson design on learning achievement and metacognition was classfied ‘highly effective’. Biology teachers could use the product to improve the quality of their teaching learning processes
