In this context, the authors particularly highlight the use of film education in educational environments, drawing on initiatives and existing projects to point skills and abilities that can be worked directly thanks to these film education activities. On the other hand, the research emphasizes the need for teacher training that takes into account this development of new skills in students through the use of media education, given their benefits and advantages over several very important factors in the educational context. At the methodological level, the research uses relevant literature and desk research concerning three conceptual fields: i) New skills for 21st century; ii) Different topics and issues in relation to the role of schools and teachers in this context; and iii) a set of film education initiatives that help to visualise how media can be a tool for improving students skills. Given this, the paper concludes that it is essential to consider several dimensions in teacher training in order to achieve that teachers can use media content in the classroom. In this way, several topics are briefly suggested and proposed: awareness on 21st century skills; social innovation techniques; knowledge management among teachers; creative classrooms thanks to media devices; efficiency and sustainability of media education initiatives; and open educational contexts that help to enlarge the current roles of teachers in schools.

La metodología utilizada es la técnica documental para la realización del estado del arte en el contexto Latinoamericano y las técnicas de clúster y correlaciones para el análisis empírico. Los resultados muestran que los clústeres que agrupan a los países, no presentan importantes niveles de diferenciación.

This article aims to provide evidence on the determinants of telemedicine use in clinical practice.Methods:The survey targeted a total population of 398 medical professionals from a healthcare institution in Spain. The study sample was formed by the ninety-three primary care physicians who responded. Using an extended Technology Acceptance Model and microdata for the ninety-six physicians, binary logistic regression analysis was carried out.Results:The analysis performed confirmed the model's goodness-of-fit, which allowed 48.1 percent of the dependent variable's variance to be explained. The outcomes revealed that the physicians at the healthcare institution placed greater importance on telemedicine's potential to reduce costs, and on its usefulness to the medical profession. The perception of medic...

Through a questionnaire survey of 5,265 people who took part in an e-learning training programme developed in 2009 by the Catalan Employment Service (SOC) and the Open University of Catalonia (UOC) to improve the employability of the unemployed, the study makes two main contributions. First, we describe the design of an 18-item scale. Second, the study analyses the factorial structure and psychometric properties of that scale. Three factors from the exploratory factor analysis, namely competencies developed (α1=0.93), applicability of training (α2=0.92) and satisfaction with the pedagogical design (α3=0.90), explain 71.5% of cumulative variance. The total scale reliability is 0.94. The statistics obtained for the confirmatory factor analysis (CFI=0.94, NNFI=0.94, and RMSEA=0.08) indicate an acceptable fit of the proposed threefactor model (Chi-square=2.416, p=0.000). The coefficie...
