Condizioni per l’incidenza della ricerca didattica nel miglioramento della scuola

2018

Il dibattito in corso sull’ Evidence Based Education (EBE) dimostra come la questione della cumulabilità delle conoscenze didattiche sia particolarmente sentita da coloro che si occupano di ricerca empirica in campo scolastico. E’ avvertita l’esigenza di fare il punto su quanto nella comunità scientifica si sa, con un’accettabile certezza, su un determinato tema, senza dover ogni volta ripartire da zero. Il problema è formulabile in questi termini: fino a che punto e a quali condizioni è possibile cumulare i risultati delle ricerche empiriche in campo didattico, per ricavare da essi utili indicazioni per le azioni degli insegnanti, che auspicabilmente dovrebbero essere coinvolti dai ricerca…

Temptation and commitment in the laboratory

2010

Temptation and self-control in intertemporal choice environments are receiving increasing attention in the theoretical economics literature. Nevertheless, there remains a scarcity of empirical evidence from controlled environments informing behavior under repeated temptations. This is unfortunate in light of the fact that in many natural environments, the same temptation must be repeatedly resisted. This paper fills that gap by reporting data from a novel laboratory study of economic decisions under repeat temptations. Subjects are repeatedly offered an option with instantaneous benefit that also entails a substantial reduction to overall earnings. We show that this option is "tempting" in …

Ważność kryteriów oceny wiarygodności witryn internetowych na podstawie badań

2019

Wiarygodność witryny internetowej oznacza przeświadczenie użytkownika, że jego oczekiwania dotyczące otrzymania określonych informacji z tej witryny zostaną spełnione bez ponoszenia dodatkowych, nieuzasadnionych kosztów: ekonomicznych, społecznych, psychologicznych, prawnych, etycznych. Dokonywanie oceny wiarygodności witryn wymaga jej konceptualizacji i operacjonalizacji. W literaturze przedmiotu zidentyfikowano różne wymiary wiarygodności witryn oraz wiele zestawów kryteriów jej oceny. Jednak w zasadzie brak jest określenia ważności poszczególnych kryteriów, co pozwoliłoby na tworzenie rankingów witryn. Dlatego celem wstępnych badań przeprowadzonych metodą sondażową było wypełnienie tej l…

The reconciliation process of market requirements and operations resources – an empirical view

2018

Firms are confronted with the challenge of designing strategy processes, which guide decision-making in a way that leads to high and sustainable performance. The purpose of this paper is to address this challenge, by delivering empirical insights on Slack & Lewis’ concept of reconciliation in Operations Strategy from a process point-of-view. We argue that while this concept roots in the alignment literature of Operations Strategy it has not yet been subject to detailed and empirical research. We discuss the development of a survey that examines if and how reconciliation is carried out in companies and how this affects operations performance.

Evaluation and Research in Group Psychotherapy. An Italian Contribution

2011

This paper presents some key findings in group therapy research and evaluation, and future directions of research in this field. Interest has been focused on the understanding of the clinical therapeutic process and on the possibility of studying it from a scientific point of view. The perspective is to increase the clinical relapse of empirical research on psychotherapy, promoting close integration between the work of clinicians, engaged in the real experience of treating patients, and researchers, interested in providing useful and scientifically based tools for the understanding of the therapeutic work. We present the essential lines of the work produced by the research group of the Depa…

L’avvio della ricerca empirica in campo educativo in Italia: il contributo di Calonghi e Visalberghi

2014

Mentre la filosofia dominante in Italia alla fine della seconda guerra mondiale non era favorevole alla sperimentazione pedagogica, alcune iniziative, tese a innovare in senso attivistico i contenuti e i metodi dell’insegnamento scolastico, costituirono le cause remote dell’avvio dello studio dell’educazione con il metodo positivo. Esse facilitarono l’azione dei pionieri della ricerca empirica in campo educativo, che si sviluppò in Italia a partire dagli anni cinquanta del XX secolo per tre cause prossime: l’influsso delle sperimentazioni realizzate nelle scuole degli USA, la diffusione del pensiero di Dewey, l’impulso dato dall’Istituto Superiore di Pedagogia dei Salesiani allo studio dell…

The Love of Money and Pay Level Satisfaction: Measurement and Functional Equivalence in 29 Geopolitical Entities around the World

2006

Demonstrating the equivalence of constructs is a key requirement for cross-cultural empirical research. The major purpose of this paper is to demonstrate how to assess measurement and functional equivalence or invariance using the 9-item, 3-factor Love of Money Scale (LOMS, a second-order factor model) and the 4-item, 1-factor Pay Level Satisfaction Scale (PLSS, a first-order factor model) across 29 samples in six continents (N = 5973). In step 1, we tested the configural, metric and scalar invariance of the LOMS and 17 samples achieved measurement invariance. In step 2, we applied the same procedures to the PLSS and nine samples achieved measurement invariance. Five samples (Brazil, China,…
