Las tecnologías de la información y comunicación han acontecido grandes cambios en todos los sectores de la sociedad actual, pero, especialmente en el ámbito educativo, promoviendo el desarrollo de nuevas metodologías. Dentro de estos nuevos métodos de enseñanza se encuentra la Realidad Virtual que en los últimos años ha tenido una gran transcendencia ya que se ha demostrado que influye de forma positiva en la motivación del alumnado y, a la vez, en la mejora de su atención. De aquí surge el interés por realizar este estudio, con el objetivo de analizar en qué situación actual se encuentran las investigaciones existentes en la base de datos Scopus sobre el uso de la Realidad Virtual en educación para la mejora de la motivación en los procesos de enseñanza-aprendizaje. Los resultados revelan que en los últimos veinte años (1998-2018) la producción científica sobre el tema en cuestión ha crecido de forma exponencial, pasando de publicar un 0.27% en 1998, a un 14,48% en 2018. Terminamos el estudio proponiendo seguir investigando sobre este tema con la finalidad de seguir comprobando hasta qué punto es posible mejorar la calidad educativa gracias al uso de nuevas metodologías como la Realidad Virtual.

Recently, there has been a proliferation of technopedagogical practices, based on the application of active teaching and learning processes through the use of information and communication technologies (ICT). The main objective of this work is to analyse the impact of training action through the use of augmented reality in physical education for the development and acquisition of spatial orientation, as opposed to more traditional training based on the exhibition method. The methodology developed is quantitative, through a quasi-experimental design post-test in 140 high school students in the field of physical education. The results indicate that all of the dimensions show a very high, significant relationship. The greatest difference in average is observed in motivation. In contrast, the smallest difference, although significant, is observed in the grades given by the teachers themselves. It can be concluded that the method of teaching through augmented reality is effective in teaching high school students in the subject of physical education, especially for the acquisition of spatially oriented content.

Nowadays, ICT play a fundamental role in education, as they are essential in all areas of knowledge at any educational stage. Specifically, in the area of mathematics, within the Primary Education stage, they are also very valid resources. This is demonstrated by the latest scientific studies. In recent times, the scientific literature has provided evidence of all this through different research studies. The aim of this paper is to analyze all those publications that deal with the teaching–learning processes of mathematics through ICT in primary education. The aim is to show the current state of the scientific literature and what elements and aspects to highlight are common to the documents analyzed. By means of the systematic literature review method, we analyzed 11 articles indexed in Scopus and the Web of Science, with the result that the use of ICT in this area is still scarce, as the volume of publications in this respect is very low. This could also indicate a prevalence of traditional methodologies associated with the teaching of mathematics that could hinder students’ acquisition of mathematical competence. However, those studies that show the use of ICT demonstrate that its use leads to an improvement in performance, motivation, and problem solving.

La adicción a Internet es una problemática actual que afecta principalmente a la población de estudiantes universitarios. Además, España es uno de los países europeos con mayores tasas de uso problemático de Internet. Los objetivos de este estudio se centraron en analizar el grado de adicción a Internet de los estudiantes universitarios y comprobar si la adicción a Internet influyó en el estado de depresión, ansiedad, estrés y autocontrol de los estudiantes. Para ello, se utilizó un diseño transversal a partir de la aplicación de una encuesta a una muestra total de 1013 estudiantes de la Universidad de Granada (España). Los resultados indicaron que el uso problemático y abusivo de Internet afecta de manera relevante en los estados de depresión, ansiedad y estrés y en menor medida al autocontrol del estudiantado, agravándolos en todos los casos. Finalmente, es necesario comprender que la adicción a Internet es un problema creciente en la población juvenil, que conlleva a estados de fatiga, angustia, tensión, incomodidad y errores en su vida diaria.

El uso de nuevas metodologías en el ámbito educativo, como es el uso de las tecnologías, influye positivamente en la reducción de las dificultades de aprendizaje que presenta el alumnado de Educación Primaria en general y en los que padecen algún tipo de trastorno como TDAH, en particular. De aquí nace el interés por la realización de este estudio, a través del cual se quiere analizar la situación actual de la literatura científica presente en la base de datos Scopus, en relación al uso de las TIC en educación con respecto a las dificultades de aprendizaje. Los resultados muestran que en los últimos cuarenta y cuatro años (1975-2019) las publicaciones existentes sobre el tema en cuestión han aumentado de forma significativa, pasando de publicar un documento en 1975 a producir cincuenta y nueve en 2019, es decir, se ha pasado de una producción de 0.014% a 8.79%. La literatura científica muestra un primer repunte en el año 2010 (44 publicaciones) hasta llegar en 2019 a 59, lo que nos hace presagiar que seguirá aumentando en los próximos años. Finaliza la investigación proponiendo realizar otros estudios de características similares en las bases de datos Dialnet, Web of Science o Google Scholar. The use of new methodologies in the educational field, such as the use of technology, has a positive influence on the reduction of learning difficulties presented by primary school students in general and those suffering from some type of disorder such as ADHD in particular. This is the origin of the interest in carrying out this study, through which we wish to analyse the current situation of the scientific literature present in the Scopus database, in relation to the use of ICT in education with respect to learning difficulties. The results show that in the last forty-four years (1975-2019) the existing publications on the subject in question have increased significantly, going from publishing one document in 1975 to producing fifty-nine in 2019, that is, from a production of 0.014% to 8.79%. The scientific literature shows a first increase in 2010 (44 publications) until reaching 59 in 2019, which makes us think that it will continue to increase in the coming years. The study ends by proposing to carry out a study of similar characteristics in the databases of Dialnet, Web of Science or Google Scholar.

The education system must respond to the demands and needs of today’s society. To meet this demand, teachers must identify the degree of cognitive skills that our students possess through digital learning strategies that encourage the development of these superior skills because of the impact of technological resources on student motivation. To carry out this assessment, two types of strategy tests were applied to evaluate cognitive skills, one determining the student’s ability to create an opinion of their own based on ideas and visions of other authors (perspective analysis) and the other strategy test to distinguish the main elements of an information, identifying a general pattern (abstraction), which were reviewed with a task performance instrument (rubrics). A mixed methodology was used through a case study, with a selected and intentional sample of 34 students of the Primary Education Grade. The results show that elaborating questions that go deeper into a topic and labelling contents is not an easy task and that abstraction is one of the most complex skills to develop in students. It should be noted that, in practically all areas, men’s averages exceed those of women. Finally, the use of digital strategies must be incorporated as permanent routines and the relationship between technology and pedagogy allows for the management of learning and therefore increases higher level cognitive abilities.
