Abstract:The maker movement advocates hands-on making with emerging technologies because of its value for promoting innovative and personally meaningful transdisciplinary learning. Educational research has focused on settings that primarily serve youth from dominant groups, yet we know surprisingly little about making among minoritized youth and the kinds of resources that support their making. This study sought to better understand the extent to which maker practices are present in the lives of minoritized youth and t… Show more
“…On the other hand, Marina explains that "education can no longer be limited to the transmission of knowledge but must focus on the development of skills and competencies for learning to learn" [7] (p. 54). In this way, autonomous learning and the ability to adapt to changes that occur in society are fostered.…”
The promotion of intergenerational dialogue is postulated as one of the most frequently used strategies to promote meaningful learning. The objective is to analyze the impact of intergenerational dynamics on the learning process. To this end, this work is based on the methodology of a systematic review following the PRISMA method through the establishment of inclusion and exclusion criteria and analysis of their suitability. The priority indicator was to collect empirical experiences in the WOS and Scopus databases that implemented strategies on intergenerational learning and promoted improvements in learning, obtaining a total of 14 documents to be analyzed. The results of the review reaffirm the effectiveness of promoting dynamics of this type, observing positive outcomes in different sets of samples in six main areas: (1) attitudes, well-being, and happiness; (2) integration of vulnerable groups; (3) improvement of family relationships; (4) promotion of social and human values; (5) prevention of diseases and increased knowledge about health; and (6) combating the generational digital divide. There are also weaknesses associated with these experiences, such as the strong involvement required by the participants or the initial prejudices that exist between one generation and another.

“…The literature shows us that this platform is chosen by educators as a preferred learning tool (Srinivasacharlu, 2020), pointing to it as an opportunity for innovation (Anchundia, 2020) and using it within class implementations, or as complements to this (Tella et al, 2020), having a positive assessment of its use by teachers (García-Martín & Cantón-Mayo). In addition, it is possible to verify frequent use of YouTube videos by teachers to obtain academic purposes (Anchundia, 2020) or to improve students' desire to learn (Ozudogru, 2020), even those belonging to social minorities or low-income places (Peppler et al, 2020).…”
The growing use of video as an educational resource and of the YouTube platform in our society leads us to investigate the impact of educational YouTube Science channels and the success factors and variables used by edutubers in this area. Through the analysis of the 41 most successful educational channels of Sciences on YouTube Spain, we obtain results on different aspects of the process of creation and dissemination of audiovisual content. The conclusions indicate a high impact of the YouTube channels of Sciences and a positive trend, anticipating a great projection of edutubers and educational audiovisual content in this area of knowledge. In addition, the success factors and variables used by edutubers in their channels are pointed out. Our research provides insights for teacher training plans and YouTube educational content creators.
“…Es por ello que la identidad de las personas se construye a partir de las decisiones que estas toman en función de las experiencias vividas, siendo preciso considerar los diferentes ambientes en los que el individuo se encuentra inmerso (Carrera et al, 2015). Por esta razón, los agentes y contextos en los que la persona interactúa de forma significativa cobran una especial relevancia para su desarrollo integral y holístico (Peppler et al, 2020). Entre los principales agentes podemos incluir a la familia, la escuela, el grupo de pares y los medios de comunicación (Collet, 2020).…”
re-significación de valores? ¿cuál es el rol de las instituciones educativas, de los gobernantes, del entorno familiar en la educación en valores?, entre otros. En este sentido, este número de Alteridad deja abiertos nuevos interrogantes para futuras investigaciones. Con el desarrollo de la vacuna, se analiza la posibilidad de un pronto retorno a las aulas en modalidad presencial; sin embargo, nunca será como antes.Se les invita a lectores e investigadores a seguir enviando sus manuscritos para ser arbitrados en Alteridad.
