Digital Tablets

In some classrooms the use of digital tablets for students is already standardized and is integrated into the teaching-learning process of the school. On the other hand, the use of cutting plotters is not common, although they are low-cost, easy to use and transportable devices. These machines are usually found in digital fab-rication spaces such as Makerspaces, Fab labs, etc. However, it is interesting to introduce these technologies in traditional classrooms. This article describes an experience carried out at Colegio San Isidro, Los Salesianos de la Orotava, Tene-rife in the 3rd year of secondary school in the subject of plastic, visual and audio-visual expression, in which an activity of design and creation of pop-up cards has been carried out. This activity is made in many subjects in order to develop crea-tivity or to understand three-dimensional concepts (mathematics, plastic, etc.). This activity involves cutting and folding paper that is usually done with scissors or cutter. It is proposed to digitalize this activity by means of digital tablets and portable cutting plotters. At the end of the activity, all the students were able to make their pop-up card using the proposed technologies and felt able to carry out the work autonomously.

The Subject

<p class="0abstract"><span lang="EN-US">One of the drawbacks of using 3D printers in educational environments is that the creation time of each piece is high and therefore it is difficult to manufacture at least one piece for each student. This aspect is important so that each student can feel part of the manufacturing process. To achieve this, 3D printers can be used, not to make pieces, but to make the molds that students use to create replicas. On the other hand, for a mold to be used to make several pieces, it is convenient to make it with flexible material. However, most used material for 3D printers (PLA) is very rigid. To solve this problem, this article designs a methodology that allows the use of low-cost 3D printers (most common in school environments) with flexible material so that each mold can be used to manufacture parts for several students. To print flexible material with low-cost printers, it is necessary to adapt the machine and the print parameters to work properly. This article analyzes the changes to be made with a low cost 3D printer and validates the use of molds in school environments. A pilot test has been carried out with 8 students of the subject of Typography, in the School of Art and Superior of Design of Tenerife. During the activity, the students carried out the process of designing a typography and creating digital molds for 3D printing with flexible material. The designs were made using free 3D modeling programs and low-cost technologies.</span></p>

AbstractStretchable electronic circuits have the potential to the fields where electronics have to be conformable, deformable and stretchable into three dimensional surfaces. In this work, an “interlaced” structure is developed for multidirectional stretchable circuit. The shape of the conductor is loop-like configuration. A knitted structure is employed for the elastic substrate due to its flexibility, high stretchability, low cost and simple fabrication. The electro-mechanical behavior of the interlaced circuit is investigated in three different directions, i.e., 0-degree, 45-degree, and 90-degree, respectively. A significant improvement in stretchability is achieved in 0-degree direction. Then, a preliminary theoretical analysis is made in the electro-mechanical mechanism of the interlaced circuit. From the experimental investigation and theoretical analysis, it is found that the interlaced structure gives the conductor more freedom to move in the substrate, decreasing the stress concentration in the crest and trough parts of the loop when it is stretched.

Teaching of Physics involves theoretical as well as practical skills development of students at secondary school level. The main aim of the study was to identify the factors that undermine the teaching learning process in the subject of physics. All secondary school’s science teachers were considered as population of the study. Two hundred (200) science teachers (100 each male and female) were selected as sample of the study through stratified random sampling techniques. Data was collected through a self-developed questionnaire of reliability coefficient 0.84 and were analyzed using statistical tools. The unavailability of physics teachers, laboratory, classrooms, related books were concluded undermining factors. Lake of physics teachers, and unfavorable working environment were found dominant in male teachers’ school than female. The educational authorities with the collaboration of community can play their role to overcome these undermining factors in the subject Physics.

Procedure text is the text that has to be mastered by senior high school. The purpose of the text is to give a clue how to do something through some steps. The students should experience the lesson in order to help them to know that activity is on their daily life and to apply the worldly education "learning to do" and to make class more lively and communicative. Experiencing the objective above, there are many kinds of media that can be used to motivate the students to learn procedure text orally. One of them is using "origami" (it's the art or process, originating in Japan, of folding paper into shapes representing objects such as flowers, animal and furniture etc.). This study is conducted using a descriptive qualitative research with non-participant researcher. The subject is the students of senior high school in Mojokerto. In doing the observation, the data are collected by observing the activity during the class, the result of observation checklist and the result of questionnaire. Using "origami" as an alternative media to teach procedure text in speaking class is expected to attract the students' interest; it can give the students' opportunities to feel a variety in teaching learning process. "Origami" helps the students increase motivation, enthusiasm, and become easy to practice their language orally. In carrying out "origami", the teacher selects "origami" for beginner because the models can be found in around their house or school. They enable the students to instruct orally. "Origami" is a good media in learning procedure text orally because it can give fun and relaxation and break up the routine class activity. Furthermore, the students experience and understand what they learn.Keywords: Origami, An alternative media, Procedure text, Speaking class

Resumo: Com este artigo, apresentam-se os resultados de uma proposta realizada no âmbito do processo de ensino-aprendizagem sobre a paisagem, procurando ampliar a indicação do papel do "sentimento da paisagem” como mecanismo de construção de leituras geográficas por estudantes do ensino médio. Neste quesito, a interpretação da paisagem como portadora de dimensões econômicas e políticas estruturantes é complementada com a inserção afetiva erguida através da poética, permitindo a ampliação das exposições dos significados da paisagem para os estudantes. Para isto, utilizou-se do desenvolvimento de aula expositiva, seguida da propositura fotográfica dos locais de identificação afetiva, realizando posteriormente descrições críticas das paisagem e, conjuntamente, poesias sobre os sentimentos gerados por elas. Obteve-se, então, a possibilidade de compreender a análise ofertada pelos discentes e suas raízes valorativas no contexto geográfico, assentindo a ampliação das fronteiras de entendimento entre a relação sociedade/natureza em diferentes escalas, além de ratificar a fotografia e poesia como caminho para o ensino de geografia.Palavras-chave: Categorias Geográficas.
