This paper examines the beneficial impact that computer-generated crossword puzzles can have on engineering students. The paper delves into the pedagogical advantages that crossword puzzles offer as an educational tool, detailing its features and objectives as well as the benefits it brings to students and to the whole group. This paper shows the application of crosswords to the teaching of electromagnetism, and specifically presents the case of Ampere law. This educational tool is intended to make the learning and teaching of electromagnetism more entertaining, as this course is normally complex to teach at the university. This paper presents a literature review of the advantages that some authors have observed with the use of the crossword puzzle in the classroom, and devotes a section to the management of software used.

In this paper, we introduce an professional learning environment based in viewing the chapter "Vector" of Numb3rs. We introduce the meaning of environment of professional learning as a theoretical framework for the instructional actions of the project titled EarlyStatistics: improving statistics instruction in European elementary and middle schools though online professional development''. (Action 1: COMENIUS Project 226573-CP-1-2005). We, also, include the didactical analysis of the activities that students should do before, during and after viewing the chapter, and the proposals of its contrast as teachers' professional tasks.

This paper presents a new research experience at IES Isabel la Católica. We want our students to be interested in science. To fulfill this main objective, we have combined different scientific and linguistic strategies with science learning. Water and sustainable development have been the conductors of these activities. This has been a very interesting and interdisciplinary experience to work on. At the same time, it has been a good opportunity to improve scientific literacy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper an analysis is carried out concerning the professional knowledge desirable for physics teachers in the use of analogies as an educational resource. Within this objective, there is discussion of certain theoretical aspects which need to be borne in mind when analogies are used in physics classes, as well as other aspects connected with the skills or expertise which as teachers we should have in these cases. All this is accordance with the conclusions which derive from educational research. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
