          Abstract

          En este trabajo se exponen y analizan las principales características y resultados de un estudio orientado a conocer las percepciones y expectativas sobre contextos de aprendizaje de un grupo de estudiantes que ingresan en carreras de ingeniería. A inicio del ciclo lectivo 2014, se trabajó con 137 aspirantes a cursar alguna de las carreras que dicta la Facultad de Ingeniería de la Universidad Nacional de Río Cuarto (Argentina). Los datos fueron recabados por medio del Inventario sobre el Ambiente de Estudio Percibido (Inventory of Perceived Study Environment). Los resultados muestran diferencias entre las percepciones de los estudiantes sobre los contextos de aprendizaje de sus colegios de educación secundaria y las expectativas sobre los contextos de aprendizaje que les gustaría encontrar en la universidad. Los hallazgos de este trabajo son útiles para el diseño e implementación de contextos instructivos que favorezcan la integración y la permanencia de los alumnos que ingresan a la universidad.

          Translated abstract

          The main features and results of a project developed to understand the perceptions and expectations about learning contexts of a group of freshmen in engineering careers are presented and analyzed. At the beginning of the school year 2014, a sample of 137 freshmen student of the careers offered by the Faculty of Engineering of the Universidad Nacional de Río Cuarto (Argentina) was selected for study. Data were collected using the Inventory of Perceived Study Environment. The results show differences between the perceptions of students on the learning contexts of their high schools and the expectations for the learning contexts that they would like to find at the university. The findings of this study are useful for the design and implementation of instructional contexts that encourage integration and retention of new students entering the university.

          Towards more powerful learning environments through combining the perspectives of designers, teachers, and students.

          In order to reach the main aims of modern education, powerful learning environments are designed. The characteristics of the design of PLEs are expected to have positive effects on student learning. Additionally, teachers' conceptions of learning and teaching do influence the implementation of a PLE. Moreover, students' perceptions of a learning environment affect their subsequent learning behaviour and the quality of the learning outcomes. The different perspectives of educational designers, teachers, and students are summarized in the Combination-of-perspectives (COOP) model. Combining these perspectives by mutual exchange of conceptions and perceptions is expected to have positive effects on the power of PLEs.
