GOOD PRACTICES IN THE MANAGEMENT OF

QUALITY IN ANDALUSIAN UNIVERSITIES

Andalusian Universities have been characterized by being a benchmark in good practices aimed at quality management both in the academic field (Quality Assurance Systems for Degrees and Centers, evaluation of teaching work, etc.) and in services provided (through the implementation of ISO standards, or the EFQM model of excellence). The Quality Units or Services of our universities have not only been able to adapt to the new regulatory or legal requirements, but have also been proactive in the search for innovative solutions to academic or management problems, sharing best practices among themselves. through benchmarking that has allowed mutual learning and the exchange of successful experiences. To this end, this Symposium is proposed, which aims to bring together a sample of these good practices carried out in four Andalusian universities.

COLLABORATION WITH PDI COMPANIES AND INSTITUTIONS:  INCOMPATIBILITIES AND LIMITS

This symposium will try to highlight both the difficulties that PDI finds in collaborating with companies and institutions and certain dysfunctions and irregularities that occur in some areas of activity, given the existing regulatory vacuum and that may conflict with the interest of universities. The art. 83 of the LOU facilitates the approach of the PDI to the business world, the updating of their knowledge and the carrying out of a task of knowledge transfer that is essential for society. Research contracts with companies and institutions are also a source of funding for the University, which has a special weight in the case of Polytechnic Universities, also art. 83 allows the development of specialization teaching or specific training activities, without this way being able to cover up regulated teaching in private universities or in affiliated centers of the university itself. It is the Statutes of the Universities that are called upon to establish the authorization procedure for these activities, within the framework of the basic norms that the State must approve and whose approval has not occurred almost 20 years after the approval of the LOU. In this symposium, all the problems related to this collaboration will be analyzed, going through the management and control through the University Foundations, the incompatibilities when the PDI has part-time dedication and the regulation in the different areas and the advances produced in the Law of Science regarding the participation of PDI in the creation and development of technology-based companies.

GOOD PRACTICES IN EUROPEAN HIGHER EDUCATION PROJECTS: EXEMPLIFYING WITH THE “3ECONOMY+” PROJECT

This multiplier event within the 3Economy+ Project (2017-1-ES01-KA203-038141) aims to open a discussion forum on the management and activities within European projects in Higher Education. To do this, the work done during the 3 years of the 3Economy+ project will be shown, opening a discussion forum with a double objective: to receive feedback from the participants that allows us to move towards the future and define good practices in international projects from which we all learn. . Likewise, the symposium includes the plenary lecture by Dr. Dorothy Kelly, Vice-Chancellor for Internationalization at the University of Granada, with an exceptionally extensive and solid international career and experience in international consortia. The 3Economy+ project aims to improve the academic training of university students in the area of economics, marketing and tourism, offering complementary international training designed to improve employment prospects and encourage the acquisition of basic skills for effective professional development in a triple aspect (virtual theoretical training, annual intensive stay programs in each region and international internships in companies). Its main purpose is to improve their preparedness to tackle the high rates of youth unemployment, one of the main challenges facing European governments today. The 3Economy+ consortium is made up of three European institutions: the University of Granada, the Polytechnic Institute of Portalegre (Portugal) and the University of Malta. This symposium aims to be a forum for debate, mutual feedback and sharing experiences in international projects, which concludes with the definition of good practices in this type of project and, therefore, allows participants to design innovative proposals in different international calls, based on the management, teaching and research experience of the 3Economy+ project.

BUILDING A CULTURE OF CLINICAL RESEARCH IN NURSING: PATHS AND CHALLENGES

In the last decade, we have assisted the academic institutions of nursing with a large research press and publication on teachers. These institutions, which previously valued effective contact with students as a success criterion, as well as the use of effective teaching methodologies, now face the need to develop a clinical research culture to increase the research output of their teachers. The construction of a culture of clinical research, an academic institution with these characteristics, implies, first of all, a wide exchange of points of view and ideas, values, attitudes, practices, strategies and policies of research in Nursing among teachers that we coordinate clinical ensinos. This is a fundamental requirement for the culture of clinical research to provide, throughout the time, a context of support, unlike the clinical research of two teachers, not only, it can be conceived, but also produced and disseminated jointly. This symposium aims to promote strategies and methodologies for the development of a culture of clinical research and identify facilitating and hindering factors in the creation of this culture. To achieve these objectives, we defined five essential discussion areas: 1) training in clinical research for teachers; 2) integration of two teachers in interdisciplinary research teams; 3) use translational science in clinical teaching contexts; 4) design of the institutional structure of clinical research and 5) academic project oriented towards areas of clinical excellence. These communications will be carried out by five nursing professors from the Escola Superior de Enfermagem de Lisboa, based on their experience and their reflection on the productive system.

INITIATIVES TO IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF TEACHING AND THE QUALITY GUARANTEE AND EVALUATION PROCESSES OF THE DEGREES OF THE FACULTY OF COMMERCE AND TOURISM (UCM)

The objective of this symposium consists of the presentation and debate of different innovation projects that are being directed by professors of the Faculty, all of them with a common goal based on the constant improvement of the teaching/learning processes, whose lines of action are the following: Analyze the feasibility of using business simulation software as an alternative to end-of-degree and end-of-master projects. Each degree will use a "company game" adapted to its training. Students will participate by forming teams that will compete in the game. The aim is to study the influence of this pilot experience on student motivation, the interaction between them and their tutors, their dropout rates and their final results, measured both in active participation and in the final grade obtained. Evaluate the potential of the audiovisual translation didactic modality recently called 'creative dubbing' (Talaván, in press), for the improvement of one of the linguistic skills that generates the greatest difficulties in a large number of university students, oral expression (speaking). . Implement collaborative tutorials as an active learning methodology that, by placing the student at the center of the learning process, can improve the acquisition of transversal skills and the content of the subjects, and increase academic performance and student satisfaction. Study the soft skills of interns in order to identify possible limitations and offer the necessary tools to transform them into empowering skills in their professional profile and enhance their employability. Propose initiatives to increase the quantity and quality of student participation in teacher evaluation surveys and satisfaction with their degree, and better knowledge and use of the complaints and suggestions system.

NEW LEARNING METHODOLOGIES IN HIGHER EDUCATION

Teaching innovation is considered today as a form of professional development that allows teachers to offer solutions adapted to current educational needs and problems. This project proposes different educational methodologies carried out by the professors of the Faculty of Social Sciences of the European University of Valencia, with the aim of offering new processes that allow experimenting and acquiring new knowledge and skills, based on alternative educational practices and new. The main objective of this Symposium is to present the projects carried out in the 2018-2019 academic year and put them at the service of the educational community, to help deepen these educational experiences and inspire other teaching tasks. The point of union of the different contributions presented is to bet on innovative resources in the university teaching process, in which students can acquire both the knowledge, as well as the necessary skills and abilities that allow them to function in an increasingly competitive environment. and diverse. The different learning environments represent for students a further step in the development of new ways of understanding and facing challenges and checking their ability to solve new real situations that will allow them to gain experience and even be architects of their own challenges.

CHALLENGES IN MONITORING OPINIONS TWO STUDENTS NO INTERNAL QUALITY GUARANTEE SYSTEM IN HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS

The purpose of this symposium is to present and analyze a reality that is complemented by analyzing the reality of four higher education institutions in Portugal. These institutions integrate different organizational units and different areas of training and are at different levels of development of the monitoring of the opinion of the students and the development of the internal system of quality assurance.
These institutions have been increased to active participation of students not only in the teaching-learning process, but also in the expression of opinions, as a contribution to decision-making.
Through the Internal Quality Assurance System, each institution has attempted to monitor these opinions in different ways. Not having a pattern of application and use leads to institutions with different paths, varying from poorly defined practices to integrated systems of mechanisms for listening and monitoring two students on the curricular units and their courses. These monitoring mechanisms predominantly foresee the application of questionnaires more complemented by other monitoring methods.
Related to the monitoring process, it is important to discuss the differences between the response rates found in different higher education institutions. Questão that sends us to obligation or volunteering to preenchimento two questionnaires, and corresponding consequences.

GENDER AND UNIVERSITY: EXPERIENCES AND INSTITUTIONAL CULTURE

Despite the figures managed by the Universities, as far as the representation of women is concerned, their numerical presence and their academic efficiency do not affect a greater labor insertion in the university itself. In addition, as we change classes and reach power structures, women lose members or are simply not there. In fact, the institutions that train the professionals and adults of the future are not spaces free of inequality or violence against women, because culture or education do not immunize against this type of inequity. Universities and their community or communities cannot ignore this situation but must assume their social responsibility in this area and must develop policies and measures that seek equality, with cross-cutting and effective approaches, activities, experiences and measures that take into account the gender perspective. . It is necessary to coeducate, also at the university, to build a fairer society. In addition, the university community, as an institution, cannot ignore problems that affect society as a whole, such as sexist violence, conciliation or labor inequality. From this symposium we will examine the situation of some universities and we will present some of the unique experiences developed in our respective institutions, from very different perspectives and contexts.

GRAPHIC EXPRESSION AS A TRANSDISCIPLINARY TEACHING ELEMENT IN STUDENT LEARNING

In all areas of knowledge that are related or that share common subjects, to a greater or lesser extent, we can find basic elements that coincide, either in their initial approaches, or in their methodology to obtain teaching and research results. One of these elements is graphic expression, which we can define as a didactic resource that transversally serves the teaching interest of providing content to students enrolled in each subject. From the University of Granada, through the "Interdisciplinary Teaching Group for Research in Learning and Teaching of Applied Graphic Expression", together with members of other national and foreign universities, a research is being carried out in which teachers and researchers from various fields participate. of knowledge that, in the exercise of its teaching and in the learning of its students, and having applied graphic expression as its central axis, is studying emerging problems and interpreting their causes. This symposium intends to present the basic approaches of the actions together with some examples of the last cases considered and the actions carried out, stating the initial conditions and the proposals reflected and making known the work that is continuously carried out, consolidating a line of interdisciplinary action and collaboration between the members of this Teaching Group with graphic expression as a binder.

INNOVATION, RESEARCH AND TRANSFER OF THE ARTS IN THE EHEA

Creativity is a key concept for the arts, but also for science and technology that cannot be isolated in a single field of knowledge. The transformations in the fields of knowledge and creativity that promote the 2030 Agenda, promoted by the United Nations, with the signature of 193 countries, and the Roadmap for the development of artistic education of UNESCO for the construction of creativities of the 21st century have reactivated the current controversy around research and doctoral programs in Arts due to a curricular problem that has been affecting artistic studies in all countries since they were incorporated into the University. This debate has intensified since R&D&i has become the goal. The artist's dilemma as a researcher has become a necessary crossroads that poses an academic and curricular problem, in addition to opening new epistemological approaches. The difficult integration of artistic education in the predominant paradigm of R+D+i. , despite the fact that alliances between artists and scientists are becoming more common, their meeting in creative innovation networks and the emergence of platforms that connect scientific, technological, social, artistic and business innovation processes, requires reflection to address the contradictions both of the new production of academic knowledge, and of the new forms of artistic production. For this reason, the symposium reflects on this situation from the analysis of different artistic research transfer projects that involve innovation, employability and entrepreneurship, in new areas of intervention in which research, and its transfer to social environments and companies , support the respectability and usefulness of these disciplines, sometimes very disregarded by those responsible for educational policies.

INNOVATIVE TEACHING EXPERIENCES FOR THE IMPROVEMENT OF TEACHING-LEARNING PROCESSES IN THE AREA OF DEVELOPMENTAL PSYCHOLOGY AND EDUCATION

The changes that have occurred in Spanish universities with the implementation of the European Higher Education Area, together with the diversity and plurality of the student body, make it necessary to be open to change in teaching practices in order to respond effectively to this diversity. In this symposium, five communications of innovative teaching experiences assigned to the teaching of the area of Evolutionary Psychology and Education of different Andalusian universities that intend to adapt to the current reality will be presented. In the first place, an interuniversity teaching experience will be presented within the framework of the subject "End-of-Degree Project" of the Primary Education Degree that will allow the establishment of collaboration bridges between teachers and students from different universities in the field of applied research in schools. . Secondly, a collaborative work between association-university will be presented within the framework of a Psychology degree subject whose purpose is to bring students closer to the reality of trafficking in women through class dynamics that will allow them to put themselves in the place of this collective. Thirdly, a teaching activity of a transversal nature will be shown that is developed between the area of Developmental and Educational Psychology and the Clinical Psychology area of the University of Huelva, which is based on a research methodology that aims, among other training objectives, reflect on the plurality present around single motherhood. Finally, in fourth place, a teaching experience based on a preferred methodology in the acquisition of learning such as role-playing will be presented, presenting the different utilities that this technique could have for university teaching practice. In conclusion, different teaching experiences are exposed that can facilitate the teaching-learning processes in Higher Education and could be useful to respond to different training contents in the area of Developmental Psychology and Education.

COMPLEMENTARY ACTIONS LINKED TO UNIVERSITY TEACHING

In the Spanish University, the professor is assigned three basic functions: teaching, research, and management, although the one with the greatest weight, perhaps as personal enrichment, is teaching. Unfortunately, with some frequency, it has fallen into the contradiction of prioritizing the teaching work within university walls to transmit skills to students, resulting later that the graduate students who join the labor market, in their daily work, suffer from a certain void in the prior direct contact with the business world; and this regardless of the fact that the teaching of the classes in the classrooms is carried out in a fairly didactic way.
Until recently, Spanish universities had neglected the didactics of off-campus study subjects, prioritizing the teacher's training in the classroom over training in the company; At best, science-business parks were created within the University itself, and it was taken for granted that the University-Business binomial existed not as a de facto union, but as a true legal couple.
We advocate a close relationship between teaching activities at the University itself and external activities at collaborating entities, without one prevailing over the other, and even more so with the technological era we are experiencing. University and business must go hand in hand in this regard.

LEGAL LABORATORIES: TEACHING INNOVATION AND KNOWLEDGE TRANSFER

The concern to transcend the purely theoretical aspects of the Degree in Law and the Degree in Labor Relations and Human Resources and involve students in the practical facets of legal studies, motivates the launch of the Legal Laboratories. These legal laboratories can be implemented through various actions. Noteworthy is the activity consisting of the creation of a “Simulation Trial Room” and the implementation of the “Legal Clinic” (CLINUCA). Both activities allow third and fourth year students to put into practice the contents of substantive and procedural law, having to develop the various strategies autonomously, under the supervision of teachers/tutors. The "Simulation Trial Room" allows you to work and apply the theoretical knowledge acquired through inquiry and investigation of the legislation, doctrine and jurisprudence applicable to the cases that are the object of the simulation. This activity also requires the preparation of the defense of the claims of the alleged clients and the correct prosecution by those who participate occupying the position of judge. Likewise, this action allows the student to develop a work of foundation of the legal institutions object of simulation, through an analysis of a transversal nature and not limited to a specific subject of the Curriculum, as well as an effort in oral presentation skills. and dialectics. Through CLINUCA, students in the last years of the Law Degree, tutored by professors, guide citizens, generally with few resources or belonging to vulnerable groups, on legal problems that affect them, thus contributing to the defense and promotion of Your rights. It generates valuable learning for students, by facing real situations and problems, which they must analyze under the supervision of teachers, in order to offer effective guidance to citizens.

ACTIVE METHODOLOGIES FOR TEACHING/LEARNING IN STEM AREAS: COGNITIVE AND EMOTIONAL PERSPECTIVE

The recent results obtained in the PISA tests by Spanish students support the need to promote meaningful learning in STEM areas (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) at all educational levels, starting at an early age. As highlighted by various reports at European level, actions are required to enhance STEM skills in the education system. For this, it is necessary to improve the teaching of these subjects in the teacher training stage, since this group plays a fundamental role in the scientific-technological training of future generations. However, various authors point out that this group does not feel sufficiently prepared for the teaching of STEM subjects in the primary classroom, presenting low levels of teaching self-efficacy and negative emotions regarding the teaching and learning of these subjects. Likewise, from the perspective of the didactics of experimental sciences, various publications highlight the need to use active methodologies in the classroom, which improve not only the cognitive domain, but also the affective domain towards learning STEM content. As indicated by a growing number of studies in recent years, emotions influence the learning of different subjects. In this symposium, different classroom experiences are presented that use more active methodologies to improve the level of knowledge acquired by students or the self-efficacy beliefs and emotions that students express towards STEM areas.

CONSTRUCTION OF THE STUDENT'S VISUAL MEMORY IN ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN THROUGH CRITICAL EXPERIENCE

This proposal will present a series

of research and teaching experiences, bases of the ideas that order the architectural space, which relate the tool of visual memory and its construction with the experience to incorporate them into the architecture project. In the teaching of Projects (compulsory subject present in all the Degree in Fundamentals of Architecture courses) the root of the problem is in teaching what to see and how to discriminate –understand at the same time– what are the useful references for the investigation that every project entails , and thus form in the student a critical attitude that allows him to discover keys beyond the surface that shows the architectural environment of a city or a specific work. All investigation of a Project exercise starts from the construction of the program that is proposed to the students in the statement. In the presentations that structure this topic, teaching experiences are shown that cover different phases of the incorporation of visual memory to the work carried out by the students: the presentation of the exercise, the visit to the place of intervention, architecture texts and other approaches as a foundation. intellectual of the project, search for useful references and their way of study and, finally, an approach to the critical session in the classroom as a means of final comparison of results. Different ways of approaching the learning process of the project will be treated through tools that connect the visual and the project exemplification with individual work and collective results, making the student the protagonist of the learning of the project and the architectural space.

EXPERIENCES OF TEACHING INNOVATION IN VARIOUS DISCIPLINES. RESULTS AND RECEPTION BY THE STUDENTS

Since joining the European Higher Education Area (EHEA) the concepts of teaching innovation and improvement of educational quality have played an important role in university strategic plans. The traditional approach focused exclusively on the acquisition of knowledge by students is being replaced by the development of skills and abilities. In this sense, the methodologies and tools used up to now in the teaching-learning process are being relegated by others in which the teaching staff occupies the role of tutor, carrying out accompanying and monitoring functions for the student, positioning the latter at the center of the process. process. The teachers participating in the symposium are actively involved in improving teaching quality, introducing relevant changes in the learning methodologies used in the classroom, betting on new evaluation systems and implementing new information technologies. The objective of this symposium is to present different experiences of teaching innovation, promoting a discussion forum in which the difficulties of putting them into practice, the level of reception by the students, as well as the results obtained are highlighted. Bearing in mind that the experiences presented come from different contexts, as the disciplines addressed are different, it is expected that the debate will be enriching.

INNOVATION PROJECTS AND TEACHER TRAINING IN HIGHER EDUCATION

Educational innovation consists of investigating the search for new ideas, proposals and contributions, which must be carried out collectively with the intention of solving problem situations of a practical nature and, therefore, teaching innovation projects constitute a valuable resource when it comes to to respond to the needs and concerns that arise in the context of higher education. Necessarily, then, they identify both with the educational processes and with their protagonists —teachers and students— and, therefore, they generally aspire to (1) prepare teaching materials through ICT, (2) achieve more efficient ways in the evaluation of the students, (3) achieve their active participation in the teaching-learning processes, (4) promote collaborative work, (5) manage new experiences or (6) work from learning in competencies, among other purposes. This symposium collects and presents, precisely, some of the teaching innovation projects that, developed within different Spanish universities, aim to achieve the aforementioned objectives through different resources —the Kahoot! platform, the ApS methodology or the musical practice of the sweet flute. Strongly committed to improving the quality and sustainability of the educational structure, they have been launched in dissimilar grades and study plans, they have an important common link: each and every one of them is directly related to music and music education within higher education.

SPATIAL CORRESPONDENCES BETWEEN ART AND ARCHITECTURE

Within the aforementioned R&D Project, the exploration of alternative ways of constituting space, typical of audiovisual media, is proposed. Architects are faced with the geometric and physical configuration of the three-dimensional framework. But beyond this way of working, there are various plastic resources that the 20th century has perfected, by abandoning the prevailing focal perspective in the West. That rupture included as a determining element the incorporation of time into space. In doing so, modern literature and philosophy revised the stable Renaissance and Enlightenment order. Cubism, especially, decomposed an increasingly complex reality through the fragmentation of the gaze, in order to later propose a new relational space using collage. Photography, comics, cinema or installations, overcoming their own limitations, reflected that changing modern gaze. The transversal nature of this symposium seems particularly suitable for addressing deliberately complex artistic manifestations such as the current ones, which combine movement, light, sound or intervention on previous containers, thus incorporating sequentiality and storytelling. In addition, architecture, scenery, audiovisual installations, cinema, fashion or comics cannot be built directly by the author, something that is more feasible in traditional painting or sculpture. This forces them to share the need for prior ideation, which is then transferred through agreements to technical documents (projects), which in turn allow it to be transmitted to the production system.

TEACHING IN LARGE GROUPS IN THE EHEA

Despite the fact that with the incorporation of our country into the EHEA we were promised smaller groups of students, the reality is that in recent years this has not happened in either the Bachelor's or Master's degrees. This is not a trivial matter, since, on the one hand, full adaptation to the EHEA entails a series of teaching obligations that are hardly compatible with teaching in large groups, and, on the other, the presence of a large number of students in classes means that the teacher does not know how to approach teaching adapted to the EHEA in these groups. For this reason, the objective of this invited symposium is to expose the tools and techniques for teaching in large groups that a large group of Procedural Law professors from the Universities of Cádiz and Málaga are implementing in our classes since the academic year 2019/ 2020 as a result of a teaching innovation and improvement project of the University of Cádiz and in the context of PROCERED: Teaching Network of Excellence in Procedural Law, of the University of Malaga, of which we, the interveners, are members. Thus, we will begin by presenting the content and results of the teaching innovation and improvement project of the University of Cádiz that has given rise to this project, to then delve into each of the teaching tools and techniques that the members of the University of Cadiz are working on. the network, from the most traditional techniques to boost teaching in large groups, to the use of the most recent technological tools that allow transmedia teaching and learning through the virtual campus or other platforms for student work both online and online. the subjects that make up the study plan as well as in the completion of the TFG.

EDUCATION IN ANIMAL SCIENCES

The teaching in animal sciences at the University level is having a profound methodological renovation in Europe and all over the World. One of the multiple changes made is the new orientation given to the training process—from teacher-oriented to student-centered learning. This implies changes in the curriculum and the way the knowledge is transferred from teacher to student. Furthermore, currently the inter- and transdisciplinary way of teaching is every time more used in universities due to the many benefits these offer. Some of the benefits include the amplified knowledge offering, acquisition, and assimilation. However, it has to be taken in mind, that before some new methodologies are widely implemented, their performance, acceptance by the students and teachers has to be evaluated, adapted and validated. This symposium intends to be a forum for researchers, teachers and practitioners who use animals and/or animal models in their practice to exchange ideas, opinions, and above all experiences and research results relating to the preparation of students, teaching and learning methodologies and processes. . The symposium will treat topics related to evaluation and assessment of student learning in grade and PhD studies curricula, new teaching/learning theories and models, innovative materials and new tools for teaching, educational technology. This symposium in particular will try to highlight the benefits of interdisciplinary teaching and the methods for the evaluation of this type of methodologies.

RISKS AND PSYCHO-SOCIAL PROBLEMS LINKED TO RESEARCH ACTIVITY: ANALYSIS AND PROPOSALS TO MITIGATE ITS EFFECTS

Many young researchers currently face the taboos and difficulties inherent in a research career. Scientific productivity today subjects doctoral students and researchers in general to a series of academic, social and emotional pressures that affect their personal and research lives. For this reason, from this table the challenges that currently affect the research performance of the youngest will be addressed, from a double perspective of diagnosis and alternatives/proposals. It must be taken into account that many of these problems lack sufficient visibility or are simply left out of university public debate. Thus, being one of the objectives of the FECIES forum, that of "knowing and debating the situation of the doctorate in Spain", this table will try to create a space to analyze and make visible, in a cross-cutting way, the most controversial issues surrounding the development of researchers in training as well as possible alternatives for improvement. To this end, the psychological and physical risks derived from the current approach of the research production model will be analyzed. In the same way, effective family reconciliation tools will be examined, proposing improvement proposals taking into account successful examples in foreign universities. Care spaces in the university environment, both virtual and physical, will also be discussed. Finally, the bureaucratic issue will be alluded to, exemplified by ANECA, and publication and work strategies will be proposed that optimize the efforts of initiated researchers, with special emphasis on the practical aspect. These issues, which are addressed from a constructive approach, are especially related to gender studies, new technologies, and the quality of teachers and researchers.

THE DESIGN THINKING METHODOLOGY APPLIED TO LAW DEGREE

At CEU Cardenal Herrera University we are committed to renewing the Law degree, adapting the contents of the study plan to the reality of information technologies (ICTs) with new tools that facilitate the training of our students, especially in its practice. In this sense, the use of the "legal design thinking" methodology makes it possible to resolve legal disputes and bring the knowledge of Law closer to future graduates in a creative way and results in the citizen's knowledge of it. As an example, we developed workshops related to "Corporate Law" to meet a current legal challenge: compliance with the recent legal obligation to disclose quality non-financial information by public interest companies, establishing proposals to improve the communication of non-financial information by companies of public interest. On the other hand, through seminars with practical content in the area of Constitutional Law, our students will create online communication strategies and processes that will influence, on the one hand, the acquisition of skills and competencies in innovation and professional creativity, and on the other, in a better understanding by citizens of their rights. We also intend that future jurists study tax regulations by collaborating with other disciplines to design mechanisms that allow communicating complex information that helps both to understand the tax law and to make decisions by taxpayers. Finally, the creation of a workshop on criminal liability of legal entities will help students to establish proposals to improve the communication of information on the map of criminal risks by companies of public interest and those listed on the stock exchange.

ACTIONS TO PROMOTE THE INTERNATIONAL DIMENSION AND THE RESEARCH COMPETENCES IN THE LOCAL STUDENTS

This Symposium focuses on the discussion of actions that could motivate local students to get involved in the international and multicultural dimension that Spanish universities intend to promote within the framework of the EHEA. Communications 1-3 present the results of different teaching actions and initiation of research (TFGs) that have been put into practice within the framework of PID 528-19 of the UGR "Innovative teaching in English", since 2018. These activities have been developed in English to help students who do not participate in international activities (exchanges, for example) overcome the foreign language barrier, become aware of their ability to communicate in another language, and understand the relevance of another language for your professional future. The actions have been developed in different formats to promote interactive learning: workshops in the computer room, group dynamics, and the use of new technologies (Kahoot, and Cam Studio). Communications 4 and 5 address key aspects for international convergence in the initial phases of research, namely, how to apply theoretical knowledge to economic and social reality. The speaker of communication 4 presents us with the method followed as a tutor of dissertations and TFGs at the University of Warwick in the United Kingdom (26th position in the Shanghai ranking in 2020). The speakers of Communication 5 give us the keys for economics students to overcome the rejection of the econometrics subject, which is the key tool for modeling the economic and social reality that is intended to be studied in a research project. The main points of the debate would be: (1) how to involve local students in activities of the internationalization strategy of their university (subjects and courses taught in English, undergraduate and postgraduate exchanges, internships in companies abroad, etc. .), and (2) what strategies or approaches should we follow in the research initiation phases (TFGs, TFMs) in line with the best positioned universities.

ARCHITECTURAL MODELS AND TYPES IN THE QUALITY OF RESEARCH AND RESEARCH TRAINING

Since the Enlightenment stage and almost since the Renaissance, the operation of recognizing an architectural model and applying an appropriate type to that model -or generated by it- has been part of professional practice and, of course, of research and previous creations, as well as the initiation of neophytes and researchers. And there has also been, on the part of the designers, an awareness, whether in a diffuse or illustrious way, of its use and of its oral or documentary transmission. As the formation of new models and new types (not only functional or structural, but also aesthetic or communication coding) continues to take place, the reconsideration of this binomial is certainly presented with absolute validity. In addition, the types and models produced serve as an unavoidable reference to assess the quality of research and the training of young researchers. This Symposium aims to discuss the relevance and operability of such relationships with the aim of achieving greater efficiency and clarity in the methods and procedures that are usually activated and that should report a more adequate self-assessment to the researcher himself and make him aware of his cultural heritage. and of the use of referents, of the roots and of the intellectual and creative roots that his research and designs evoke. The study of specific cases -so as not to get lost in an excessively theoretical discourse- is also part of the objectives of the Symposium, to clarify the concepts with examples of real practice and not fall into escapisms of little contribution.

ADVANCES IN TEACHING TRAINING AND INNOVATION OF TEACHERS AT THE UNIVERSITY OF SEVILLE

In accordance with the provisions of the Statute of the University of Seville, and as part of its objectives, this institution is committed to quality and the search for excellence, bringing the PDI closer to a model that favors the acquisition and improvement of the corresponding skills. As action 3.1.2 of the III Own Teaching Plan, the FIDOP Program has been developed, whose main objective is to improve the teaching training and innovation of teachers, their way of teaching and therefore the progress and final result in student learning. . In this direction, the Institute of Education Sciences, launches the General Course of University Teaching (CGDU), the Teaching Training and Innovation Network (REFID) or the Specific Courses of University Teaching, as well as the corresponding FIDOP Conference. In 2018, a new alternative began with the FIDOP Groups by faculties, betting on training among the teaching staff of the same Center. In these working groups, progress is made around discussion seminars and activities focused on improving classroom practice with the exchange of innovative experiences. Currently, the FIDOP Groups belonging to Medicine, Nursing and Physiotherapy, Education and Architecture are being developed. This symposium is presented with the aim of sharing the experience of these working groups, showing, in each case, the content and development of the sessions carried out, the concerns and progress experienced by their participants, as well as the results that confirm their success. of this call.

ARCHITECTURE AND CONSTRUCTION; DESIGN AND TECHNIQUE: FROM THE GENESIS TO THE REALIZATION OF THE PROJECT

For decades, architectural practice has been considered an essential part of teaching architectural projects when the works were not yet classified as artistic and professional creations. The criteria for accreditation of teaching staff from the creation of ANECA in 2002 meant a paradigm shift for the future university professor: competitive research would determine the new teaching profile. With the obligatory commitment of the universities to this new model, a situation began to take shape, which, although it is valid for numerous areas of knowledge, in architectural projects, has led to a greater limitation of architectural practice by teachers. A transfer of knowledge to teaching practice that derives from numerous investigations and innovations that have arisen in the professional field is put in crisis. The territory of the architect should be a place where research, teaching and architectural practice are contemplated in a vindication of the teaching tradition that characterized the modern period from the beginning of the 20th century. This symposium aims to explore different ways of transferring the knowledge derived from professional architectural practice to teaching, emphasizing methodologies and approaches applied to the area of architectural projects. The best way to demonstrate it is through practical and concrete examples in which it is easy to observe the parallelism that exists between an architecture that combines design, project, technique and construction, and teaching in architectural projects, in which the exercises simulate that same creative process that goes from the genesis to the formal and constructive definition of the project.

ON THE IMPORTANCE OF A QUALITY ARCHITECTURAL SPACE TO PROMOTE LEARNING

Admitted the importance of the quality of life for the personal and social development, derives the quality of the architectural space; Caring for architecture as an educational resource is an indisputable necessity, as is caring for the architect's training. However, as the use of ICTs is encouraged and generalized, the digital and virtual space gains ground in all areas, especially in research and education, it seems that the physical space that supports the daily activity of research and teaching, it progressively dilutes, abandons and forgets. Would we argue that physical space is no longer important? Are all educational buildings really abandoned, or only the obsolete ones? Were these model buildings obsolete today at some point in their existence or were they always deficient? Is it true that specially cared-for architecture spaces help to motivate and stimulate research and teaching capacity? They are permanent issues, but if we admit an imminent paradigm shift, they now require special discussion; educational methods and resources have to be thoroughly reviewed in order to actively move towards the future. The objective is to address these issues from the scientific method of the area of knowledge of Architectural Projects: Examining the existing specific literature produced from various approaches and disciplines, on the importance of the architectural environment in each educational stage and especially influencing higher education. Recognizing past and present of our educational buildings and their impact. Analyzing them and comparing them with others considered a reference to make an objective critical assessment and claim what corresponds as a conclusion.

TRAJECTORY OF THE EVALUATION OF QUALITY SYSTEMS AND TEACHING AT THE UNIVERSITY OF EXTREMADURA

Among the hallmarks of the University of Extremadura (UEx) is the progressive implementation of a quality culture as a strategic principle, defining and defending our institution as a public service to society through research, teaching, the transfer of knowledge and university extension. This culture of quality has its origins in the evaluation of the Internal Quality Assurance Systems (SAIC) of our centers and in the periodic evaluation of the quality of the teaching provided and of our teachers. The application and assessment of the SAIC on our training offer and, with it, the verification of its effectiveness, constitute part of our essential purposes. In 2008 we participated in pilot experiences of the AUDIT program of the National Agency for Evaluation and Quality (ANECA). Currently, all UEX centers have their SAIC designs certified and more than 50% have certification of their implementation, of which ten have Institutional Accreditation. The University of Extremadura (UEx) to guarantee the quality of the learning processes, since 2007, periodically evaluates the teaching activity of its teaching staff through the Program for the Evaluation of the Teaching Activity of the Teaching Staff of the University of Extremadura DOCENTIA-UEx, this being program the main source of information on the situation of teaching in the UEx, for its improvement and the recognition of good teaching practices. The program has been certified by ANECA since June 17, 2018. This symposium aims to present the methodology, techniques and tools developed for the evaluation of quality and teaching by the UEx, which can serve as a basis for debate and exchange. of experiences.

INNOVATION IN EMOTIONAL WELL-BEING FROM THE UNIVERSITY SCOPE

In recent years the difficulties and problems related to mental health have been growing in visibility and importance in our society. Mental health problems, such as anxiety, stress, etc. they have a clear impact at multiple levels (eg, personal, academic, etc.) and consequences in the short, medium and long term for people. Preventing these problems involves promoting adequate emotional well-being, which is a fundamental ingredient in people's quality of life. Its promotion is a responsibility that also concerns the university environment, as a research and innovation center. The main objective of this symposium is to highlight the relevance of developing actions that attend to and promote the emotional well-being and positive mental health of university students, but also of society in general. The first communication presents a guide for the promotion of emotional well-being developed by university students for the general population within the framework of a teaching innovation project. In the second communication, an ambulatory evaluation platform of emotional well-being applied to the university environment is shown. In the third and fourth communication, two works are introduced that respond to the need to attend to diversity in the university, from a perspective of inclusion of people with intellectual disabilities. In the fifth and last communication, an innovation project is exposed through the work of teaching teams that addresses the tutorial action as a strategy to cover the need to attend to the emotional well-being of the students of the education degrees and its impact on the students of the general population.

INDICATORS AND IMPACT OF TEACHING AND RESEARCH: NEW PERSPECTIVES AND NEW TOOLS

The transfer of knowledge to society is acquiring great value in recent years, with the evolution of the traditional teaching system of specific contents, towards an integrated teaching system, more transversal, with the active participation of students in projects that revert not only on their own experience, but rather help to build a useful collective experience for various sectors. In this line, two practical examples of new teaching perspectives are shown. On the one hand, the experience of the "Aura" project registered in the School of Architecture of the University of Seville and its participation in the most relevant competition for university students on sustainable habitat worldwide: the Solar Decathlon, presented by Professor Rafael Herrera Limones . On the other hand, Professor Félix Jiménez Naharro will talk about how the detection of the needs of the company together with the application of models developed in universities, where innovation prevails, can provide more effective solutions to those needs detected and all this through of transfer development. All this favors and enriches training. In other areas with a slower evolution, such as the case of Humanities, Professor Leonardo García Sanjuán will show the reasons why it is difficult for new models to be implemented and what the possible paths of development could be. Finally, from the Bibliometrics Unit of the University of Seville, a tool has been created aimed at facilitating the indicators of the publications and research of the PDI of the University of Seville, which will gradually incorporate the new trends in the evaluation of the impact and the transfer to society.
