In some countries, the education system is adapting to teach skills needed abroad: in Mexico, for example, the Monterrey Technological Institute has offered for two decades a curriculum and style of teaching designed to meet the demands of American multinationals.
Logic is also easily adapted to being taught by computers and has been used in experiments with computer-based education.
In this paper I intend to present theoretical support and guidelines for the design of a Native Cardinality Method for the teaching of L2 vowels and consonants to adult students, especially adapted to the teaching of English in Spanish universities.
In order to simplify implementation, duration and structure have been adapted to current teaching modules [ 41, 42].
Thus, we developed a test of conceptual understanding of mechanics that is adapted to the content taught to secondary school students (content validity at secondary school level).
What remains missing, however, is an efficient and fair test of conceptual understanding that is adapted to the content taught to secondary school students and that can be validly applied as a pre- and posttest to reflect change.
Moreover, the bMCU test proved a better predictor of grades than did the FCI in both samples, possibly indicating that the bMCU test is better adapted to the content taught to secondary school students.
The construction and evaluation of the instrument enabled us to create a fair, user-friendly, short, and exact test of conceptual knowledge (fair measurement and efficiency) that is adapted to the content taught to secondary school students (content validity at secondary school level) and that can be validly applied both as a pre- and posttest to reflect learning progress (valid change measure).
The starting positions of students differ, with some students better adapted to the mainstream teaching practice in higher education than others (Bourdieu and Passeron 1990; Bowles and Gintis 2002, 3 30; Bowles et al. 2009).
Resistance of staff to this new approach could be attributed to the fact that most of them were adapted to the old style of teaching.
