A significant amount of work has been done over the last several decades in discussing qualitative social research (what it implies in terms of practice, what its underlying principles are, where its challenges appear etc.). In their book Doing Qualitative Research: The Craft of Naturalistic Inquiry, Joost Beuving and Geert de Vries undertake a similar task and carry it out with remarkable sharpness and clarity. The book is aimed at undergraduate and graduate students interested in qualitative...

Research on sustainability in the tourism sector has been focused in recent years on large accommodation companies. Although diverse studies analyse the impact of sustainability in large tour-operators, this topic has not been sufficiently analysed in the case of small and medium-sized agencies, which are an important part of this sector's structure. Through a sample of nearly 120 companies, this study demonstrates the importance of economic motivations but also personal and legitimizing..., La investigación sobre la sostenibilidad en el sector turístico se ha centrado en los últimos años en las grandes empresas de alojamiento. Aunque existen trabajos que analizan el impacto de la implementación de la sostenibilidad en los touroperadores, no se ha analizado suficientemente a las pequeñas y medianas agencias de viaje, que constituyen una parte importante de la estructura del sector. A través de una muestra cercana a las 120 empresas, el estudio demuestra la importancia de las...

Time has been argued by several influential approaches as essential for understanding learning and teaching processes. In elearning, however, the traditional time limits of such processes are modified, which implies challenges and possibilities for elearning research. This paper is aimed at understanding how time is included in empirical e-learning research literature.With this aim in mind, the paper presents a qualitative review of 24 e-learning papers. Five issues are analysed: the conception..., El tiempo ha sido discutido por varios enfoques influyentes considerados como esenciales para la comprensión de los procesos de aprendizaje y enseñanza. En e-learning, sin embargo, los plazos tradicionales de este tipo de procesos se modifican, lo que implica retos y posibilidades de elearning investigación.

MOOCs are seen as the latest development in online learning and since their launch in 2008 they have become an integral part of university course curricula. We are currently at an early stage in the development of MOOCs; few studies have been published on their assessment so far. Consequently, this paper is based on a literature review, using the main academic databases JCR and Scopus, on 33 articles published between 2013 and 2015 with the objective of determining the educational quality of..., Los MOOC se han entendido como la última evolución del aprendizaje en red, y desde su nacimiento en 2008 se han puesto en práctica en un buen número de universidades. Dado que actualmente nos encontramos en un escenario donde los MOOC todavía están proliferando, son escasos los estudios referentes a valorar la calidad pedagógica de los mismos. Por esto, el presente estudio se basa en la revisión sistemática de literatura, haciendo uso de las bases de datos académicas JCR y Scopus, de 33...

The concept of learning ecologies emerged in a context of educational change. While the "learning ecologies" construct has offered a broad semantic space for characterizing innovative ways of learning, it is also true that its potential to promote innovative educational interventions may have been hindered by this same broadness. Based on this assumption, in this paper the authors carried out a systematic review of the literature on learning ecologies with the aim of analysing: (1)...

Academic personnel face situations of vulnerability and precariousness in the Spanish and European context. On the one hand, the crisis situation provides justification to funding cutbacks in science and universities; on other hand, previous to the crisis, the dynamic of new-managerialism yields new symbolic and material conditions based on competitiveness. This paper provides evidences about the labour situation of the Spanish academic staff concerning both dynamics and gender differences...., El personal académico viene afrontando situaciones de vulnerabilidad y precariedad en el contexto español y europeo. Por un lado, la situación de crisis proporciona una justificación a los recortes en financiación para ciencia y universidades; por otro, previamente a la crisis, la dinámica neo-gerencialista produce nuevas condiciones simbólicas y materiales basadas en la competitividad. Este artículo aporta evidencias sobre la situación laboral del profesorado universitario español considerando...

The theorizing and conceptualization of the new speaker label first emerged from discussions amongst a small group of researchers working on some of Europe's lesser-used languages including Catalan (Pujolar 2007; Pujolar and Gonzàlez 2013), Galician (O'Rourke and Ramallo 2011 and O'Rourke and Ramallo 2013) and Irish (O'Rourke 2011). These are languages which were revitalized with some measure of success as a result of more favourable language policies, but which faced the...
