El liderazgo pedagógico y la implicación del profesorado como factores de éxito en centros de entornos desfavorecidos en España

2016

Las investigaciones en educación y desigualdades muestran que el entorno socioeconómico de las familias es uno de los factores que condicionan en mayor medida el logro de los resultados académicos. Sin embargo, sin negar la influencia de los factores externos, las investigaciones ponen también de relieve el papel clave que pueden tener la institución educativa y los agentes escolares en las trayectorias y el logro del éxito académico de los jóvenes en situación de mayor vulnerabilidad. Y constatan que escuelas con similares perfiles de estudiantes alcanzan logros diferenciados Este artículo presenta los resultados de un proyecto de investigación cuyo objetivo ha sido identificar los factore…

Increased recovery of brain acetylcholinesterase activity in dichlorvos-intoxicated European eels Anguilla anguilla by bath treatment with N-acetylcy…

2003

Organophosphate (OP) pesticides are widely used as antiparasitic chemicals in finfish aquaculture. However, current antidotes cannot be applied to treat intoxicated fish. We showed in previous studies the importance of glutathione (GSH) metabolism in pesticide resistance of the European eel Anguilla anguilla L. The present work studied the effects of the antioxidant and glutathione pro-drug N-acetyl-l-cysteine (NAC) on the recovery of European eels exposed for 96 h to a sublethal concentration (0.17 mg l^-1; 20% of its 96 h LC50) of the OP pesticide dichlorvos (2,2-dichlorovinyl dimethyl phosphate; DDVP). This insecticide and acaricide decreased muscular GSH content and increased oxidised g…

Control Motivational System

2016

In this chapter, the concept of control is presented using historical and contemporary literature. This overview presents compelling evidence that shows the importance of control in motivational science. The basic need for control is further analysed in the three all-embracing life domains: mastering environmental cues where the need for achievement is prominent, balancing interpersonal relations leading to the emergence of the need for power and managing the intra-personal processes resulting in employment of the various self-strategies. The chapter closes with the argumentation that all the presented evidence in the different life domains strongly suggests the existence of one unifying mo…

Students' perceptions on intrapreneurship education – prerequisites for learning organisations

2010

The aim of this qualitative study is to understand the prerequisites for learning organisations (LO) as perceived by university students. Intrapreneurship education offers possibilities to increase student's adaptation of learning organisation's climate and behaviour. By analysing students' perceptions, more information about learning organisation creation was achieved. Content analysis was used to interpret the results. In total, 310 first year university master's degree students in Finland answered a series open-ended questions. The results show that for intrapreneurship education to result in an increase in learning organisations it should be based on individual motivation and the self-m…

Mathematics textbooks, opportunity to learn and student achievement

2005

Abstract Opportunity to learn is considered an important contributing factor in learning outcomes. In some of the latest international comparative studies of mathematics achievement, such as SIMS and TIMSS, painstaking efforts have been made to find out what the participating students' opportunities to learn mathematics had been. However, there have been problems with relating the findings to student outcomes. This article approaches opportunity to learn in three different ways. Among these approaches, an item-based analysis of textbook contents resulted in fairly high correlations with student performance at the item level in TIMSS 1999. This implies that even a quite simple analysis of te…

La letteratura nigeriana in lingua inglese

2020

La tradizione letteraria nigeriana, appropriatasi della lingua del colonizzatore, travalica i confini nazionali, nonché quelli dei cosiddetti studi postcoloniali, percorrendo temi che vanno dalla cosmogonia mitologica all’impatto coloniale, dall’indipendenza alle migrazioni contemporanee. Nonostante sia ampiamente tradotta, in Italia questa produzione letteraria, che pure si è affermata come una delle più ricche del mondo delle lettere in lingua inglese, non è mai stata sistematizzata all’interno di uno studio specifico che ne sottolinei l’aspetto nazionale insieme a quello transnazionale. Questo volume si propone di colmare questo vuoto, contestualizzandola storicamente e culturalmente, sp…

The effect of bidialectal literacy on school achievement

2015

The Norwegian language has two written standards, Bokmal (majority variety) and Nynorsk (minority variety), and children receive their schooling in one or other of them. Pupils schooled in Nynorsk acquire the Bokmal variety simultaneously through extracurricular exposure and thus develop what may be termed bidialectal literacy. In this study, we correlate, at municipal level, the results from Norwegian standardized national tests in reading, arithmetic, and English from four cohorts of eighth graders (2009–2012), with available statistics on language of instruction and socio-economic status. The finding is that municipalities with Nynorsk pupils have better than average results in national …

Micro-level language-planning and grass-root initiatives: a case study of Irish language comedy and Inari Sámi rap

2011

The aim of this paper is to examine the increased potential for language change from the micro-level, given the new domains in which minority languages are present in the global era. Drawing on the theoretical notion of sociolinguistic scales this paper presents a comparative account of the changing positions of the Irish and Inari Sami languages. Specifically, this paper is centred on a comparative study of two media personalities, namely an Irish language stand-up comedian, Des Bishop, and an Inari Sami rap artist, Amoc, whose success as language-planning actors stems from their use of the mediated space to influence micro-level language planning. By identifying both Bishop and Amoc as mi…
