Students with Autism in Spain
Inclusive education aims to ensure equitable access to quality education for all students, including those with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). This research analyzes the attitudes and competences of non-university Spanish teachers regarding the inclusion of students with ASD, considering relevant variables in previous studies such as teacher training, prior experience, and educational context, among others. The study involved a sample of 2310 te…
Exploring the Influence of Visual Aids in Mathematical Problem Solving
This study investigates the impact of images and visual schemes on students’ performance during mathematical problem solving (MPS). The 40 primary education preservice teachers participated in this study and were divided into two groups. They were presented with a questionnaire consisting of 18 different mathematical problems, half of them accompanied by images or visual schemes, and the rest without any kind of visual aid. The group determined w…
The Educational Inclusion of Students with Autism Spectrum Disorder
Introduction: The educational inclusion of students with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) in Spain has been promoted through regulations such as LOMCE and LOMLOE. However, its effective implementation depends on teachers’ attitudes and perceptions. This study analyzes teachers’ feelings, attitudes, and concerns regarding the inclusion of students with ASD. Methods: A quantitative, descriptive, and cross-sectional study was conducted with a sample o…
Perceptions and preparedness of secondary teacher trainees to foster inclusive schools for all
Introduction The advancement of inclusive education over the past few decades emphasizes the pivotal role of teachers in transforming the educational landscape. As schools transition toward a more inclusive approach, it is imperative to evaluate the efficacy of initial teacher training programs in preparing educators for this inclusive transition. This study aims to describe the preparedness and perceptions of students in the Master’s Degree in S…
Assessing a Didactic Sequence for Computational Thinking Development in Early Education Using Educational Robots
Computational thinking (CT) is increasingly incorporated into curricular planning across various educational levels in numerous countries. Presently, CT is being integrated into preschool and primary education. To effectively implement CT at the classroom level, the design and study of techniques and tasks are crucial. This research empirically evaluates a didactic sequence using programmable educational robots for problem-solving challenges root…
Acceptance and Intentions of Using Dynamic Geometry Software by Pre-Service Primary School Teachers
In this paper, we empirically verify the validity of the extended Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) for the use of Dynamic Geometry Software (DGS) in teaching geometry, as proposed by Pittalis. The model includes the notion of “perceived pedagogical-learning fit” in addition to the traditional belief and attitude variables of TAM. We employ a structural equation modeling approach to capture the relationships between the different latent construct…
Secondary Education Teacher Training and Emotional Intelligence
This study, which is part of a broader research project, aims to investigate the impact of the initial training received by students in the Master’s Degree in Secondary Education and Baccalaureate, Vocational Training, and Language Teaching (MDSE) on their future teaching development in the current educational and social framework. The main goal is to understand their concerns, attitudes, and level of acquired competencies and knowledge for their…
Assessing the Relevance of Information Sources for Modelling Student Performance in a Higher Mathematics Education Course
In recent years, most educational institutions have integrated digital technologies into their teaching–learning processes. Learning Management Systems (LMS) have gained increasing popularity, particularly in higher education, due to their ability to manage teacher–student interactions. These systems store valuable information which describes students’ behaviour throughout a course. These data can be utilised to construct statistical models that …
