Luis Heredia; David Ventura; Margarita Torrente; Paloma Vicens – Mind, Brain, and Education, 2024
Previous research has reported that schoolteachers are an at-risk population for stress and anxiety-related psychological disorders. High stress levels have been linked to the suboptimal use of executive functions, abilities which are a major component of effective job performance in educational contexts. In the present study, 99 teachers from…

Jaume Binimelis Sebastián; Antoni Ordinas Garau; Maurici Ruiz Pérez – Educational Studies, 2024
The article underscores that the cartographic language used in social science textbooks for primary education in Spain is unsuitable and does not meet the demands of the official syllabus. Consequently, pupil literacy in geography with regard to regional geography is markedly ethnocentric. To demonstrate this, the cartographic content of textbooks…

David Muñez; Josetxu Orrantia; Rosario Sanchez; Verónica Carreton; Laura Matilla – Journal of Cognition and Development, 2024
This study investigates how the approximate number system (ANS) and young children's symbolic skills jointly develop and interact. Specifically, the study aims at disentangling the directionality of the association between ANS acuity and a wide range of symbolic skills that reflect 4- to 5-year-olds' symbolic quantitative knowledge (enumeration…

Antequera-Barroso, Juan Antonio; Revuelta-Domínguez, Francisco-Ignacio; Guerra Antequera, Jorge – Education Sciences, 2022
Video game use is widespread among all age groups, from young children to older adults. The wide variety of video game genres, which are adapted to all tastes and needs, is one of the factors that makes them so attractive. In many cases, video games function as an outlet for stress associated with everyday life by providing an escape from reality.…

Melián Díaz, Dámari; Saorín, José Luis; Carbonell-Carrera, Carlos; de la Torre Cantero, Jorge – Technology, Pedagogy and Education, 2020
The relationship between two-dimensional elements and three-dimensional objects is an abstract process which generates difficulty for learning. This ability can be improved with exercises designed to improve spatial abilities. Many of those exercises aim at offering a single solution with the result that they are not the most suitable for…

Gutierrez de Blume, Antonio P.; Montoya Londoño, Diana Marcela; Daset, Lilián; Cuadro, Ariel; Molina Delgado, Mauricio; Morán Núñez, Olivia; García de la Cadena, Claudia; Beltrán Navarro, María Beatríz; Arias Trejo, Natalia; Ramirez Balmaceda, Ana; Jiménez Rodríguez, Virginia; Puente Ferreras, Aníbal; Urquijo, Sebastián; Arias, Walter Lizandro; Rivera, Laura Inés; Schulmeyer, Marion; Rivera-Sanchez, Jesus – Metacognition and Learning, 2023
A deeper understanding of what factors influence metacognition has never become more pressing than in today's digital era, in which information flows constantly and quickly. To this end, the present study explored the role of culture in mediating how individuals experience metacognitive phenomena. For this purpose, the International Group on…

I. J. Buzo-Sánchez; C. Mínguez; M. L. De Lázaro-Torres – Journal of Geography, 2023
This study investigates the didactic educational use of Web GIS in the framework of SMART learning and its potential to help students' practice geospatial thinking. Using qualitative, exploratory action research methods, four classroom experiences were designed, developed, implemented, and analyzed. The findings support the claims that the use of…

De Miguel González, Rafael; De Lázaro Torres, Maria Luisa – Journal of Geography, 2020
The Digital Atlas for Schools is an innovative WebGIS development contributing to the use of geospatial information in schools. Based on a story map tool, it creates a geography curriculum constructed on ArcGIS Online. This article discusses the implications of implementing geospatial technologies so that learners can acquire spatial thinking and…

Flores-Bascuñana, Míriam; Diago, Pascual D.; Villena-Taranilla, Rafael; Yáñez, Dionisio F. – Education Sciences, 2020
Nowadays, Augmented Reality (AR) is one of the emerging technologies with a greater impact in the Education field. Research has proved that AR-based activities improve the teaching and learning processes. Also, the use of this type of technology in classroom facilitates the understanding of contents from different areas as Arts, Mathematics or…

Papakostas, Christos; Troussas, Christos; Krouska, Akrivi; Sgouropoulou, Cleo – Informatics in Education, 2021
This review paper presents a systematic literature review on the use of Augmented Reality (AR) in engineering education, and specifically in student's spatial ability training, for the last decade. Researchers have explored the benefits of AR, and its application has been of increasing interest in all levels of education. Engineering students tend…

Carbonell Carrera, Carlos; Saorín, José Luis; Hess Medler, Stephany – Journal of Geography, 2018
Cartographic interpretation requires accurate spatial orientation. Two main sources of spatial knowledge acquisition inform spatial orientation ability: map-like perspective (map reading), and ground level perspective (wayfinding). The Pokémon GO game incorporates both types as players use a map to orient themselves while also moving around in the…

Carrera, Carlos Carbonell; Perez, Jose Luis Saorin; Cantero, Jorge de la Torre – International Research in Geographical and Environmental Education, 2018
In the field of geographical and environmental education, maps and geo-referenced information are frequently used, in which the earth's surfaces are represented in a two-dimensional (2D) way. Students have difficulty interpreting the relief representation and switching between 2D and 3D scenarios. Digital terrain modelling is added to the…

Carbonell Carrera, Carlos; Bermejo Asensio, Luis A. – Journal of Geography in Higher Education, 2017
Landscape interpretation is needed for navigating and determining an orientation: with traditional cartography, interpreting 3D topographic information from 2D landform representations to get self-location requires spatial orientation skill. Augmented reality technology allows a new way to interact with 3D landscape representation and thereby…

Roca-González, Cristina; Martin-Gutierrez, Jorge; García-Dominguez, Melchor; Carrodeguas, Mª del Carmen Mato – EURASIA Journal of Mathematics, Science & Technology Education, 2017
The present study assessed a short training experiment to improve spatial abilities using two tools based on virtual technologies: one focused on manipulation of specific geometric virtual pieces, and the other consisting of virtual orienteering game. The two tools can help improve spatial abilities required for many engineering problem-solving…

Walkington, Helen; Dyer, Sarah; Solem, Michael; Haigh, Martin; Waddington, Shelagh – Journal of Geography in Higher Education, 2018
A geographical education offers more than skills, subject knowledge and generic attributes. It also develops a set of discipline-specific capabilities that contribute to a graduate's future learning and experience, granting them special ways of thinking for lifelong development and for contributing to the welfare of themselves, their community and…
