The demands of today's society require professionals capable of teamwork, who know how to work collaboratively. The so-called "transactive memory system" (TMS) allows understanding the cognitive functioning of individuals when they work in a team. Through a bibliometric analysis of 322 published articles indexed in the Scopus database between 1998 and 2018, we reveal the implications of TMS for higher education institutions. Our results showed the scarce study of the subject in the area of Education despite its potential relevance for higher education. We conclude this article by arguing the implications that TMS supposes for the way in which we normally approach the teaching-learning processes in higher education environments.

The traditional orientation of higher education is the development of individual skills and competencies, while today's society demands students able to work in teams based on collective skills based on collaboration. The Transactive Memory System (TMS, for its acronym in English) is a concept that allows you to understand the cognitive functioning of individuals when working in teams. The objective of this work is to describe the status of research on TMS and unveil the implications of this construct for higher education, based on a bibliometric analysis of the indexed publications in the SCOPUS database until 2018. The results show that, although there are implications that complement the TMS construct with collaborative learning, this relationship goes unnoticed, being the areas of Business, Administration and Computer Science in which the subject is most public while in a tiny percentage this construct is resumed by educational research

In this chapter, the wheel of competencies was used for enhancing educators and students' mutual awareness within the teaching-learning processes. This chapter described how teachers could use this tool in their opening class to build rapport and confidence as future teachers in higher education. The competencies reported are from a post-graduate discipline for students in Dentistry and Veterinary at the UNIP-Paulista University of São Paulo in Brazil, named “Higher Education Teaching Skills,” as a mandatory part of their curriculum. The coaching approach applied in this discipline included reflective questions, discussions in groups, plenaries, and the wheel of competencies. The idea is to make the students aware of coaching tools associated with blended learning, which is the teaching-learning philosophy of the discipline. At the closing class, the students can build an action plan as a student or as a future teacher. Throughout the year, it is essential to follow these competencies to improve the students' confidence.

In this article, we suggest that the transactive memory system (TMS) and boundary-spanning literatures are useful for understanding how individuals in team-based collectives can be structured to improve within- and between-team coordination. We argue that such coordination can be facilitated—or thwarted—by boundary-spanning behaviors and patterns of knowledge exchange within and between teams. Our theorizing explains how an existing team TMS can offset the within-team coordination burdens typically associated with boundary spanning and we offer predictions about how these factors interrelate to affect TMS and coordination over time. Finally, our theory underscores significant implications and provides insights for how management practices might improve coordination within and between teams.

Cognitive approaches to teaching generate learning through the interaction between the subject and object of study. One of the strategies to create this interaction is related to the application of virtual and augmented reality in the teaching-learning processes. Through a systematic literature review, this work aims to describe the approaches used to measure the impacts on student learning who used virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) in the teaching-learning processes of engineering courses, the impacts on learning, and student satisfaction. The surveys showed that 70% of research analyzed, students who used virtual reality or augmented reality learned more, and 90% of the research described that students who used virtual or augmented reality were more satisfied with the new approach than the traditional teaching approach. The conclusion is that there are positive impacts, in the vast majority of cases, on learning and the satisfaction of students who use virtual or augmented reality in the teaching-learning processes applied in engineering courses.

ResumenLos procesos de enseñanza-aprendizaje se pueden desarrollar en contextos diversos y con metodologías educativas diferentes, pero no todas ellas, ni todos los espacios, tienen el mismo potencial para conseguir que los estudiantes adquieran los conocimientos tratados ni para lograr un desarrollo de todas sus capacidades (físicas, cognitivas, psicológicas). Esta es la base desde la que surge el siguiente estudio. El objetivo principal es comparar los beneficios que se producen en los estudiantes en relación a los procesos de enseñanza-aprendizaje y a su desarrollo integral, en función del aula y de la metodología educativa empleada. Para ello, se han pasado dos cuestionarios, uno después de las sesiones en aula y otro después de las sesiones prácticas en el medio natural, a un grupo de 124 estudiantes de la asignatura de Actividades en el Medio Natural, de la Facultad de Ciencias de la Actividad Física y del Deporte-INEF de Madrid. A la vista de los resultados, destacan el 17,05% de diferencia entre la adquisición de aprendizajes tras las sesiones en la naturaleza en comparación con las sesiones en aula. Se concluye que las actividades en el medio natural, llevadas a cabo con una metodología experiencial, suponen mayores beneficios en cuanto al grado de conocimientos adquiridos y en cuanto al desarrollo de competencias sociales y personales de los participantes.AbstractThe teaching-learning processes can be developed in diverse contexts and with different educational methodologies. But not all of them, and not all the spaces, have the same potential to achieve that the students acquire the treated knowledge or to achieve a development of all their skills (physical, cognitive, psychological). This is the basis from which the following study arises. The main objective is to compare the benefits produced in students in relation to the teaching-learning processes and their integral development, depending on the classroom and on the educational methodology used. For this purpose, two questionnaires were given, one after the classroom sessions and the other after the practical sessions in the natural environment, to a group of 124 students of the subject of Activities in the Natural Environment, of the Faculty of Sciences of Physical Activity and Sports-INEF of Madrid. The results highlight the 17.05% difference between learning acquisition after sessions in nature compared to classroom sessions. It is concluded that activities in the natural environment, carried out with an experiential methodology, represent greater benefits in terms of the degree of knowledge acquired and in terms of the development of social and personal skills of the participants.

The scientific logical reasoning became an important skill in the students' cognitive development in algorithm teaching-learning processes, stimulating their reasoning and creativity. From this perspective, gamification has been adopted as a mediating tool in this process. Studies report that the inclusion of gamification in algorithm teaching-learning processes stimulates the students to develop new skills, making the knowledge more efficient. Therefore, this paper's purpose is to measure and understand the cognitive development and the experiences lived by students at the addition of gamification in algorithm teaching, evaluating the scientific logical knowledge acquired by them. Consequently, 44 computer higher education students were selected. They were divided into two groups: students that used the Gamification-Mediated Algorithm Teaching Method and those who participated in the traditional teaching method. To evaluate the cognitive development between these two groups, the Scientific Logical Reasoning Test was applied. The results showed that a significant number of students that used the Gamification-Mediated Algorithm Teaching Method reached the transitory intermediary and transitory scientific knowledge levels, with greater right answer rates. We also noticed that both genders gave more right answers using the gamification-mediated algorithm teaching method.

We extend transactive memory systems theory from psychology to examine the cognitive interdependence of family and nonfamily employees and its effects on family firm innovation. Using triadic data and dispersion modeling, we find that innovation is enhanced when family and nonfamily employees communicate and when they have a shared understanding of “who knows what”; however, we find unexpectedly that the communication effects differ for family and nonfamily employees, hindering the development of shared knowledge perceptions needed for enhanced innovation. We demonstrate the value in applying psychology-based research to family firm investigations and in investigating microfoundations of family firm innovation.

The Spanish educational system will require certain changes in order to achieve the Bologna objectives for the European Higher Education Area, including with new activities and roles for both students and teachers, who must assume new skills that will affect concepts and attitudes related to the teaching and learning processes. This chapter describes the authors’ experience in designing E-learning methodologies for the teaching of accountancy in the Business Administration Degree Course at the Polytechnic University of Valencia. The chapter’s methodology designed for teaching accounting, is based on PBL (Problem Based Learning), compiled with Internet based technologies. The authors analyze its use and evolution in two accounting subjects in the first and the fourth year of the degree. The conclusions obtained from the statistical treatment of the results show that there is a direct correlation between the use of an active E-learning model and obtaining satisfactory exam results in the subject.
