Brief description of the institution:

The University of Granada (UGR), founded in 1531, is one of the largest and most important universities in Spain. It serves more than 60000 students per year, including many foreign students, as UGR is the leader host institution in the Erasmus program. UGR, featuring 3650 professors and more than 2000 auxiliary personnel, offers a total of 75 degrees through its 112 departments and 28 centers.

UGR is also a leading institution in research, located in the top 5/10 of Spanish universities by a variety of ranking criteria, such as national R&D projects, fellowships awarded, publications, or international funding. UGR is one of the few Spanish Universities listed in the Shanghai Top 500 ranking (http://www.arwu.org/), and it is also well recognized for its web presence (http://www.4icu.org/top200/).

Internationally, we bet decidedly by our participation in the calls of H2020, both at partner and coordination. For the duration of the Seventh Framework Programme, the UGR has obtained a total of 66 projects, with total funding of 17.97 million euros, and for H2020, until 2015, more than 25 projects with total funding of more than 6 million euros. Our more than 3,000 researchers are grouped into 365 research groups covering all scientific fields and disciplines.

Brief description of the Centre/Research Group

 

The group RITE (SEJ-607), coordinated by Inmaculada Aznar Díaz, that comes from the research group AREA (HUM-672) of the University of Granada, (Spain), one of the oldest and most important institutions worldwide, founded in 1531 by Emperor Charles V; occupying the position of the 201 of the 500 best universities in the world (URL: www.arwu.org), together with the Faculty of Educational Sciences, according to the Shanghai ranking.    

AREA was created in 1998, which means an experience and research trajectory of its members, of more than twenty years, composed of professionals in the educational field, researchers and with a large number of personnel in training (scholarship holders); being in turn the second group of the whole University of Granada, which receives more funding from Andalusian Research, Development and Innovation Plan (PAIDI) of the Junta de Andalucía, whose purpose is framed in the analysis and intervention in any educational context, with a large and numerous scientific production of more than 1000 publications. RITE group arises in 2017, as a research group whose interest is focused on the in-depth study, from a greater specialization, of one of the lines of AREA, such as research, innovation and technology in education, backed by empirical evidence of its members, with more than 300 publications, projects and external collaborators from different universities and countries (United States, Portugal, United Kingdom, Colombia Costa Rica) (URL: http://investigacion.ugr.es/ugrinvestiga/static/Buscador/*/groups/fiche… ).

Project description

Our line of research focuses on the development of the project: "Dynamization of the classroom with apps and web platforms for self-evaluation and reinforcement of learning by gamification in undergraduate and graduate students, under the use of mobile devices and flipped classroom methodology".

In this sense, different topics of great interest and relevance are articulated according to the current challenges of the knowledge society and the digital age, the same that come from contrasted evidence, through different studies, some of them from doctoral programs, supervised by members of the group (40 directed doctoral theses) and the extensive professional experience achieved through teaching innovation actions, for the improvement of educational quality.

The central axes or topics under study focus on the use of ICT with active methodologies (flipped classroom), from which knowledge management is developed in university classrooms with innovative didactic strategies that result in the mastery of digital competence by university teachers and students and in the acquisition of significant learning and transferable to reality.  To this end, two clearly defined topics are established: the flipped classroom methodology and mobile learning through the use of digital devices.
