SUMMARY:Education Testing
DESCRIPTION:Xehetasunak \n\n\n\n\nData eta ordua:  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEgoitza \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHow are some of the most common cognitive disorders dealt with in the classroom? Are the programmes and tools in the current education system effective? Do some of the most popular educational practices lack effectiveness? \n\n\n\nThese are some of the issues to be discussed at the “Education Testing” seminar which will be held on 2 February at the Bizkaia Aretoa in Bilbao. The event\, which is held for the second time this year\, is organised by the Chair of Scientific Culture of the UPV/EHU and the Basque Country School Board\, with collaboration from the Spanish Foundation for Science and Technology (FECYT). \n\n\n\nFrom 09:00 to 13:30 the day will include presentations by several experts who will expose multiple issues related to education\, based on the existing scientific evidence. The specialists will place special emphasis on what is the best evidence available today with the objective of addressing the different realities that coexist in the classroom and in the education system in general. \n\n\n\n“Education Testing” is part of a series of events organised by the Chair of Scientific Culture of the UPV/EHU to tackle everyday questions\, such as education or art from various scientific perspectives. The seminar is run by the Doctor in Psychology Marta Ferrero. \n\n\n\nEntry is free\, but places are limited and an e-mail must be sent to the following address kzk.ehu@gmail.com\, indicating your name\, surnames and work centre. \n\n\n\nSpeakers:\n\n\n\nThe conference will consist of a series of presentations lasting between 20 and 30 minutes which will contrast the educational practices currently in use with scientific evidence. \n\n\n\nThe presentation titled “Autism and education: Problems and patterns in the classroom”\, by José Ramón Alonso\, Doctor in Biology and Professor of Cell Biology at the University of Salamanca\, will discuss the concept of autism\, its possible causes and the most common treatments with the aim of identifying specific guidelines that can help teachers deal with this cognitive disorder in the classroom. \n\n\n\nStarting from the premise that there is a wide gap between research and educational practice\, the Doctor in Psychology Marta Ferrero will address the details of strategies that have now become “public enemies” of the system: assessments and homework. Ferrero will explain based on scientific evidence how these educational practices\, when used correctly\, can constitute an important tool for teachers. \n\n\n\nBeronika Azpillaga\, associate Professor in the Department of Research and Diagnosis Methods in Education at the UPV/EHU will present the results of two research projects that have been developed in the Basque Country in the field of effectiveness and improvement for schools. Azpillaga will explain the results of the diagnostic assessment and the achievement levels obtained statistically in the studies\, led by Professor Luis Lizasoain. \n\n\n\nJoana Acha\, a Professor in the Department of Basic Psychological Processes and their Development at the UPV/EHU will review the most effective prevention and intervention methods used to develop basic skills associated with dyslexia. The specialist in children’s cognitive processes will provide evidence of the changes to the brain that accompany acquiring such skills. \n\n\n\nThe Doctor in Psychology Joaquín Morís will discuss the role that memory has in teaching and learning processes. The expert will review some of the most important concepts related to the field of memory\, and will analyse the evidence-based techniques that are derived from these concepts and how they can be applied to daily practice in the classroom. \n\n\n\nThe day will end with a talk by Inger Enkvist\, Professor of Spanish Philology at the University of Lund\, Sweden. The expert will bring the ins and outs of the Swedish education system closer to the locals of Bizkaia. Between 1962 and 1985 the Nordic country adopted a series of education laws that introduced what the British call “comprehensive school”\, that is\, a single option for all students from the age of 7 to 16. \n\n\n\nIn his presentation\, Enkvist will mention the discussions prior to the first decision made in 1962\, the protests\, the difficulties and the consequences of imposing this school system for education in Sweden. Now\, more than fifty years later\, the expert will lay on the table the need for reform in order to cope with a new social situation. \n\n\n\nThe programme is completed with a final discussion in which attendees and speakers will share their different points of view and exchange questions and opinions. \n\n\n\nProgramme:\n\n\n\n\n09:00 – 09:10 Access\n\n\n\n09:10 – 9:20 Presentation\n\n\n\n09:20 – 09:50 “Autism and education: Problems and patterns in the classroom”\, José Ramón Alonso.\n\n\n\n09:50 – 10:20 “Assessments and homework: Public enemies or faithful allies?”\, Marta Ferrero.\n\n\n\n10:20 – 10:50 “School effectiveness and improvement in the Basque Country: Case Studies”\, Beronika Azpillaga.\n\n\n\n10:50 – 11:20 Break\n\n\n\n11:20 – 11:50 “Intervention for dyslexia: From scientific evidence to educational practice”\, Joana Acha.\n\n\n\n11:50 – 12:20 “The role of memory in the teaching-learning process”\, Joaquin Moris.\n\n\n\n12:20 – 12:50 “How to destroy a good education system.

SUMMARY:The first steps of darwinian evolution and cognitive biases and evolution\, on Darwin Day 2018
DESCRIPTION:Xehetasunak \n\n\n\n\nData eta ordua:  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEgoitza \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOn 12 February\, Bidebarrieta Library in Bilbao will host the 12th edition of Darwin Day\, which each year commemorates the birth of the author of the Theory of Evolution by Natural Selection. \n\n\n\nThe conference\, which will begin at 7pm\, will consist of two talks by Carlos Briones Llorente\, researcher at the Astrobiology Centre (CSIC-INTA)\, and Helena Matute\, professor of psychology at University of Deusto. After the talks\, which will bring the audience closer to the English naturalist’s popular theory from different scientific perspectives\, there will be a final discussion in which attendees can participate. \n\n\n\nThe talk by Briones\, entitled “The First Steps of Darwinian Evolution”\, will address the scientific advances of research into the origin of the first living beings. The scientist\, specialised in the origin and the early evolution of life\, will show how the first steps of the Darwinian evolution laid the bases for the construction of this biodiversity of which we form part. \n\n\n\nMatute will give a talk called “Cognitive Biases and Evolution”\, in which she will bring the so-called cognitive biases\, errors systematically committed by all people and which depend on how each mind is configured\, to the library in the capital of Biscay. In her talk\, the professor will address the ins and outs of these thought “short-cuts”\, which have arisen in an evolutionary context and have their own raison d’être. \n\n\n\nThe journalist\, Alfonso Gámez\, will be in charge of leading these talks\, which are part of the “Scientific Bidebarrieta” series\, an initiative organised every month by the Chair of Scientific Culture of the UPV/EHU and Bidebarrieta Library to discuss current scientific issues. \n\n\n\nAll of the talks are free of charge and open to all\, subject to seating capacity. However\, in order to enter\, invitations must be obtained from the library\, which are available from 5 February. Invitations can be collected from 10am to 2pm and from 4pm to 8pm\, Monday to Friday. \n\n\n\nFor those who are not able to attend\, the talks are streamed live here. \n\n\n\nSpeakers\n\n\n\nCarlos Briones is a Doctor in Chemical Sciences (specialised in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology) from the Autonomous University of Madrid\, with a Doctoral Thesis at the “Severo Ochoa” Molecular Biology Centre (CSIC-UAM). Briones is the CSIC Resident Scientist at the Astrobiology Centre (CSIC-INTA)\, associated with the NASA Astrobiology Institute)\, where he has led a group that is researching the origin and early evolution of life\, replicative systems based on RNA and the development of biosensors\, since 2000. \n\n\n\nHelena Matute is a psychology professor at University of Deusto\, where she runs the Experimental Psychology Laboratory and researches human learning and memory\, more specifically issues related to cognitive biases and causal illusions. Matute has been the President of the Spanish Society of Experimental Psychology and the Spanish Society for Comparative Psychology\, which is the speciality that studies cognitive processes in the different animal species. \n\n\n\nDarwin Day\n\n\n\nDarwin Day has been celebrated in Bilbao since 2007. Since then\, the conference has included the participation of leading figures from science and dissemination\, such as Francisco J. Ayala\, Pilar Carbonero\, Juan Luis Arsuaga and Manuel Toharia\, among others. This has turned the talks into an important event for science lovers in the capital of Biscay. \n\n\n\nThis event is organised by the Skeptical Circle\, the Chair of Scientific Culture of the UPV/EHU and Bidebarrieta Kulturgunea. El Correo newspaper and the Provincial Council of Bizkaia also collaborate in it.
