Se observó que un mayor uso de estrategias interactivas (por ejemplo, debates, trabajo en pequeños grupos) tienden a mostrar puntuaciones más altas de implicación, lo que sugiere una asociación positiva entre la interactividad pedagógica y la participación estudiantil. Este proyecto pone de relieve el valor de promover prácticas docentes activas para mejorar la implicación del estudiantado en contextos diversos de educación superior. https://hdl.handle.net/10481/104540 Leveraging Adaptive Assessment Techniques to Boost Student Participation and Learning Mihi Ramírez, Antonio Luis; Amor Pulido, Raúl; García Rodríguez, Yolanda This document summaries a research on the impact of various teaching strategies on academics’ perceptions of student engagement. We developed a survey instrument to measure the frequency of instructional methods—such as lecturing, teacher-led discussion, small‐group activities, and experiential learning— plus the perception of teachers regarding engagement on active‐learning practices, student–staff interactions, and enriching educational experiences. One‐way ANOVAs (and nonparametric Kruskal–Wallis tests where appropriate) were conducted to examine differences in both teaching‐method usage and engagement perceptions by university, faculty experience (≥10 years vs. <10 years), and academic discipline (formal sciences, humanities/social sciences, natural sciences, applied sciences). Results indicate that the adoption of active methodologies varies significantly by institution and discipline, but not by years of teaching experience. Moreover, perceived engagement also differs by university but is consistent across experience levels and disciplines. Importantly, institutions reporting greater use of interactive strategies (e.g., debates, small‐group work) tended to report higher engagement scores, suggesting a positive association between pedagogical interactivity and student participation. This study underscores the value of promoting active teaching practices to enhance student engagement across diverse higher‐education contexts. https://hdl.handle.net/10481/95873 The international movements of capital and labor: a study of foreign direct investment and migrations flows Mihi Ramírez, Antonio Luis; Arteaga Ortiz, Jesús; Ojeda González, Sara Objective: The study seeks to analyse the interaction of foreign direct investment, emigration, and immigration before and after the great economic recession. Research Design & Methods: We used the Linear Mixed Model (LMM) to analyse interaction of foreign direct in-vestment (FDI), emigration, and immigration for 112 countries with which Spain has closely interconnected migratory and investment chains, and we focused on the analy-sis of both the pre-crisis 1998-2007 and post-crisis 2008-2016 periods. Findings: The results show that the higher number of immigrants in Spain is related to an overall higher Spanish FDI flows toward the immigrants’ origin countries. This relation between migration and FDI might be sustained in the long run as opposed to what was often raised in classical approaches. In fact, migration and FDI act like two sides of the same coin. Implications & Recommendations: Based on our results, we propose more proactive migration policies that support inte-gration in host countries, migrants’ return to home countries, and also trade agree-ments as an instrument that endorses selective FDI flow to more productive and criti-cal sectors in home countries. Moreover, our results show that lower FDI is usually associated with a higher volume of emigration from Spain. Contribution & Value Added: In a sense, FDI and migration may be considered a risk aversion strategy. https://hdl.handle.net/10481/85692 Impact of the International Trade on the EU Clothing Industry Carbon Emissions Valodka, Ignas; Snieska, Vytautas; Mihi Ramírez, Antonio Luis Globalization and international trade has strongly affected world’s economy in the recent decades. The importance of emissions loads distribution between countries participating in the supply chains is steadily growing. In the highly fragmented global supply chain structure, with the consumption and production separated geographically and politically, it is difficult to capture the distribution of carbon emission burden within the global production processes. Several recent scientific studies have emphasized that CO2 emissions embodied in international trade processes should be addressed. The CO2 emissions up to now are mostly evaluated on the base of domestic emission accounts. To address this research gap, our study applies multi-regional input-output (MRIO) method for the estimation of the CO2 emissions embodied in the EU clothing imports. The study evaluates carbon emissions of the EU clothing imports and provides suggestions for companies and policy makers. Our results show, that the EU has not reduced CO2 emissions but instead has outsourced them. MRIO and triangulation methods were used to evaluate the EU clothing sector embodied carbon emissions in imports from 2000 to 2016. CO2 emission reduction goal can be achieved by implementing the proposed consumption based emission accounting framework additionally to the country’s emission inventory. Our results may help businesses and policy makers to establish more efficient strategies towards the EU’s carbon emissions. https://hdl.handle.net/10481/85684 Interaction of foreign direct investment, international trade and remittances with emigration and immigration Mihi Ramírez, Antonio Luis; Sobieraj, Janusz; García Rodríguez, Yolanda This paper studies the international mobility of capital and labour. Using a panel data we analyse how relevant mobility factors, i.e. foreign direct investment, international remittances, exports and imports explain emigration and immigration flows. The sample comprises 112 countries with which Spain had close links between 1998 and 2016 in terms of migration, trade, remittances and investment flows. The results show that there is a positive association between foreign direct investment (FDI), remittances sent and received, Spanish imports and the number of immigrants in Spain. Contrary to what has often been acknowledged in many studies, this relationship has been sustained in the long term. Also, we found a negative link between exports and migration flows. Our results lead us to recommend those strategies and policies that exploit and promote the interaction of mobility factors as they allow companies and employees to diversify their risks and find new trade and investment opportunities
