Smart Learning Environments and Ergonomics: An Approach to the State of the Question

Abstract

Educational technology evolves constantly, in line with the innovative technologies we implement, but always catering for the improvement of teaching and learning. For this, Smart Learning Environments (SLE) emerge as an optimal alternative to traditional teaching as, through ergonomics, an inclusive outlook which is bound to enhance the educational experience of every student is provided. The method utilized is based on a systematic review of the existing literature which has allowed us to analyze in depth a final sample of 19 documents after an initial review of 633, being these all the works published between 2013 and 2019. Therefore, the principal objective of the present work is carrying out an analysis of the state of the art in relation to ergonomics, inclusiveness and the SLE. The analysis of results is performed utilizing a semantic network, generated through atlas.ti. v.8, by means of which 3 categories, 10 codes and 33 quotes are extracted. Namely, the results reveal the emerging nature of the thematic line researched and how ergonomics is linked to inclusiveness and stands out as one of the most defining components when designing an educational proposal based on SLE.

La competencia de emprendimiento digital en función del género: el proyecto EmDigital

“…Hablamos, por tanto, de un modelo que aglutina ambas competencias a partir del análisis de las interrelaciones que se producen en los modelos EntreComp y DigComp. Este modelo combinado ha sido denominado EmDigital (García-Tudela et al, 2019). Como afirma Allen (2019), el emprendimiento digital implica cambios en al menos tres aspectos: la reducción de las barreras a la hora de iniciar un nuevo negocio, la creación de nuevas oportunidades para la actividad emprendedora y el planteamiento de nuevos retos para las nuevas empresas que no han existido antes.…”

Mixed, Augmented and Virtual, Reality Applied to the Teaching of Mathematics for Architects

“…Such significant aspects have acquired relevance thanks to the possibilities in terms of freedom that these technologies offer from different spatial perspectives and interaction levels, since students can control the pace of their own learning and because of the chances that they provide for the three-dimensional graphic representation of geometric objects [24]. Furthermore, studies have shown that learners display a high level of acceptance regarding these technologies in addition to being greatly motivated when working with them [25,26], which results in students being more engaged with the contents that they must learn [27].…”

Artificial Intelligence for Student Assessment: A Systematic Review

“…AI is applied to different contexts, so we can see applications to architecture in smart buildings and smart cities [6], smart mobility [9], medicine [10][11][12], smart industry (the 4th industrial revolution, as some authors [13] remark) and also smart education or smart classrooms [14].…”
