Nuorten yhteiskunnalliset tiedot, osallistuminen ja asenteet : kansainvälisen ICCS 2009 -tutkimuksen päätulokset
2010
Kansainvälisen ICCS-tutkimuksen tavoitteena on selvittää, millaiset valmiudet nuorilla on toimia ja osallistua aktiivisina kansalaisina 21. vuosisadan yhteiskunnassa. Tutkimukseen osallistui 38 maata eri puolilta maailmaa. Julkaisu kertoo tutkimuksen ensimmäisistä tuloksista. Millaiset ovat peruskoulun 8.-luokkalaisten yhteiskunnalliset tiedot ja miten ne ovat muuttuneet 10 vuoden aikana? Kiinnostavatko politiikka ja yhteiskunnalliset asiat nuoria? Millaista on nuorten osallistuminen koulussa ja vapaa-ajalla? Aikovatko he osallistua yhteiskunnallisesti aikuisina? Entä millaiset ovat nuorten yhteiskunnalliset asenteet? Kirjan kautta ei voi suoraan ennustaa millaiseen yhteiskuntaan olemme men…

Why Enforcing Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is Morally Questionable
2008
Docketed literature on Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) exhibits heated contentions on the nature of business-society relations. This paper seeks to explore this contentious issue in the light of contemporary incorporation of CSR in business strategic plans. It notes that enforcing CSR on business might lead to its manipulation to advance corporate organisations’ purely self-interested ends rather than pursuing intrinsic philanthropic activities for the good of society. An insight into the undesirable consequences of enforcing CSR is given. Using Kantian ethics, the paper notes that the instrumental use of CSR by corporate organisations is immoral because it does not treat CSR as an en…
Waste management e comportamento ecologico nell’era del Covid-19: Dallo stigma dei rifiuti alla cittadinanza ambientale
2022
La pandemia da Covid-19 ha avuto un forte impatto sulle vite dei cittadini, portandoli a ricontestualizzare il rapporto con l`ambiente e la concezione del waste management, un settore di servizi complesso la cui mission può essere raggiunta solo grazie alla co-partecipazione. Il presente lavoro traccia alcune ipotesi di ricerca circa il senso di cittadinanza ecologica nel post-Covid e su come i servizi di waste management possano ridurre, attraverso l'alleanza con l'utenza, le percezioni negative del proprio business. Dal momento che le organizzazioni stigmatizzate soffrono dei pregiudizi negativi, per i quali sono ritenute moralmente responsabili rispetto alla propria inefficienza, i servi…
Deliberative Democracy, Active Citizenship and Critical Culture: From Aristotle’s Rhetoric to Contemporary Political Philosophy
2013
The aim of this paper is to defend an adequate reading of Aristotle´s deliberative rhetoric that allows us to understand practical rationalization as a process of interpretation of human actions. After the consideration of rhetoric as a general human ability that is indispensable for political coexistence, the impact of the Aristotelian rhetorical proposal is presented, not just as a defense of the importance of rhetoric in a democratic society, but also as a novel attempt to understand what it means to speak of practical rationality.
Teacher education and the development of democratic citizenship in Europe : Introduction
2020
The English novelist and writer George Orwell, who was concerned about the quality of the English language in relation to politics, maintained in his essay Politics and the English Language (1946) that the word ‘democracy’ had a variety of interpretations and that it was impossible to extract its essence from them to create a single meaning. His perception still has relevance today. It raises the fundamental question investigated by this book: if democracy, and hence democratic citizenship, cannot be defined, how can it be taught? There is no doubt that throughout Europe, countries consider themselves to be democratic, but what does this mean, ideologically and practically? And how do these…
Democratic citizenship and teacher education in Finland
2019
Finland is considered to be among the most democratic countries in the world according to various international surveys. However, the level of student participation in Finnish schools is below average compared to other European Union countries even though national curricula for comprehensive education have been emphasising values of democracy since the1970s. In this chapter, we analyse how Finnish teacher education contributes to the development of education for democracy. We do this by analysing how education for democracy has been developed in teacher education in Finland, and what kind of ideals form the foundation for education for democracy in Finnish teacher education. The findings ar…

Mobility and Unspoken Citizens’ Rights in EU-Documents
2015
The formulation of Union citizenship has concentrated on rights since the 1970s. In the Maastricht and subsequent EU treaties, Union citizenship is defined through rights. Against this background, discussion on rights in the EU documents on citizenship analysed in this article is surprisingly scarce. The research material consists of 15 documents produced by EU institutions in 2003–2007 as part of three programmes on citizenship. In the documents, the discussion on rights focuses on mobility instead of other aspects of rights. Electoral rights and fundamental rights are discussed a little, but in general, the minuscule discussion on rights is dominated by discussions on freedom of mobility,…
Percepción del alumnado de Educación Secundaria sobre la mediación escolar en Castellón y Valencia
2016
La realidad social, en constante proceso de cambio, exige al sistema educativo un esfuerzo por actualizar las respuestas educativas frente a la mejora de la convivencia. Es en este contexto en el que la mediación ha dejado ver sus potencialidades educativas, ya que influye sobre la mejora del individuo, de las relaciones interpersonales y del clima escolar. No obstante, son escasas las investigaciones orientadas a conocer el impacto de la misma. En este artículo presentamos un estudio dirigido a conocer la valoración de la mediación atendiendo a las opiniones del alumnado de cinco centros educativos de secundaria de Valencia y cuatro de Castellón. Asimismo, se pretende detectar si existen d…
