Teaching sustainability in higher education by integrating mathematical concepts
Purpose This paper aims to identify the current situation of higher education institutions in Spain regarding the introduction of the Sustainable Development Goals in the classroom, and what is the role of mathematics in this task. Design/methodology/approach A review is made of how the concept of sustainability has evolved in higher education, its gradual introduction in the University and the way in which this subject is approached in the field…
Evaluation of the concerns of Spanish university students in the face of current major challenges
Evaluation and assessment as main concerns of higher education students after Covid-19 confinement
The pandemic caused by COVID-19 has had a great impact on the lives of all students. A survey conducted among Spanish university students aims to find out what their concerns are before the start of the 2020–2021 academic year. This study tries to explain the impact of the coronavirus on students after returning to the classroom, and not only during confinement. Among the main concerns of the students are the way examinations are conducted, the d…
Riesgo de pobreza o exclusión social
Este trabajo analiza la evolución de la tasa de riesgo de pobreza oexclusión social (AROPE) en España durante el reciente periodo decrisis, adoptando una perspectiva regional. Diversas cuestionesmetodológicas referidas a la integración de sus componentescuestionan la idoneidad del AROPE como indicador de la EstrategiaEuropa 2020. Estos problemas se acentúan en el análisis territorial, porlo que se contrasta el efecto de considerar umbrales de pob…
Territorial efficiency of social spending in Spain
Purpose Regional disparities in social risk levels threaten social cohesion in Spain, which cannot be justified by the territorial differences in social spending per capita. These divergences may encourage and spread nationalist positions and populist discourses. The objective of this paper is to examine the efficiency of social policies (health, education and social protection) aimed at reducing the risk of exclusion across Spanish autonomous co…
Sustainability of the Spanish university system during the pandemic caused by Covid-19
During the home confinement caused by COVID-19, universities closed and all teaching became virtual, testing the sustainability of the education system. A total of 3080 Spanish university students participated in a survey to analyse how they have adapted to this situation, whether there has been a digital divide and how they have followed training activities. The results reveal that households have had to invest in ICT equipment and universities …
Mathematics Applied to the Economy and Sustainable Development Goals
Higher education must include training in sustainability to make all actors aware of the serious problems our planet is facing. Mathematics plays an important role in the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) and at the same time these allow working with real situations in the subject of mathematics, providing the student with active learning. Sustainability is used to make the student see the usefulness of mathematics while inst…
Social and Territorial Cohesion in Spain
Evaluation of videos of mathematical concepts made by students / Evaluación de vídeos de conceptos matemáticos elaborados por los estudiantes
This study presents a teaching experience in which students use ICT to develop video tutorials of the mathematical concepts from the Mathematics for Business I course in the first year of the Bachelor’s in Business Administration. This is an active methodology which not only covers the class contents but is also sure to motivate the students. To evaluate the suitability and mathematical validity of each video, the students themselves filled out a…
European social models in times of crisis
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to show evidence of the divergence of welfare outcomes in the European Union (EU) during the economic crisis, which made the European social model fail, and the convergence among European countries halt. This study reviews Sapir’s model for classifying European welfare state systems and adapts it to the new reality, taking into account Europe 2020 targets on poverty reduction and employment growth. Design/meth…
