Career Adaptability and re-employability after long periods of inactivity
2017
There has recently been an increasing interest in stimulating re-employment of unemployed workers by so-called active labor market policies. In Italy, the Fiat factory in Termini Imerese (Sicily) is one of the most important business cases in the study of the relationship between economic and psycho-social needs of an entire area in relation to the theme of the work importance. This paper is the result of an agreement signed between our University Department, the company interested to reintegrate ex-FIAT workers (BLUTEC), and the consulting firm who have in charge with this delicate transition process. We want to explore the psychosocial variables related to the long period of inactivity, s…
Guiding Student Thinking Through Teacher Questioning When Learning with Dynamic Representations
2021
Dynamic representations (e.g., dynamic geometry software GeoGebra for mathematics learning and PhET simulations for science learning) offer excellent opportunities for students to conduct investigations and to formulate explanations for the visualized phenomena. In order for this to be effective, students need guidance, for example, for planning their investigations and reflecting on their actions. One way to support students is by prompting them by using questions that are adapted to the students’ current situation. This chapter focuses on how pre-service teachers provide guidance for students through questioning and by both structuring and problematizing student learning. Data comes from …
Educazione formale e informale per il successo formativo nell'Istituto Professionale
2016
La ricerca è inserita nell’ambito del progetto PRIN dal titolo “Successo formativo, inclusione e coesione sociale: strategie innovative, ICT e modelli valutativi” che si è concluso il 28 febbraio 2016. In un territorio economicamente depresso e con un alto tasso di delinquenza minorile, per prevenire l’uscita dal sistema dell’istruzione e della formazione degli adolescenti di età compresa fra i 14 e i 18 anni occorre fare rete tra scuola, famiglia, mondo del lavoro e agenzie formative non formali localmente presenti. In tal senso un istituto professionale, radicato in uno specifico contesto socio-culturale, può svolgere una funzione di raccordo tra i diversi soggetti interessati a prevenire…

An Autonomic System for Intelligent Truck Parking
2014
Traffic and road transport conditions are strongly influenced by the decisions of drivers. The more information they receive, the better decisions may be taken about their behavior. This is especially important in the transport of goods, since drivers are subject to traffic laws about maximum driving time and minimum time rest. In this paper a multi-agent system for negotiated management of parking spaces in road rest areas is presented. This system dynamically adapts itself to the preferences and needs of the drivers of goods about parking requests. The system is shown to be robust to incidents regarding the closure of road rest areas and an increased volume of freight traffic. The results…
Career experts' conceptions of systems development in lifelong guidance
2023
AbstractThis article reports the findings from a phenomenographic study of career experts’ conceptions of systems development in lifelong guidance settings. The results show that conceptions of systems development in lifelong guidance varied from minimal, aspirational, strategic to systemic. By exploring the logical relationship between qualitatively different conceptions, it provides policymakers and other stakeholders with a way of holistically viewing the varying levels of lifelong guidance systems development. The matrix presented in this article may serve as a catalyst for reflection on crucial elements, such as legislation, leadership and cooperation, that have the potential to improv…
Imagen de la Física universitaria: el punto de vista del profesor y del alumno
2013
Este trabajo pretende indagar en algunos factores cognitivos y actitudinales que inciden en la elección y adaptación de los alumnos que ingresan en carreras científicas. Para ello se parte de una revisión teórica sobre las actitudes hacia la ciencia y la orientación vocacional. Posteriormente se describen los resultados de sendas encuestas realizadas a alumnos de Ingeniería Química y de Óptica, así como a algunos profesores, una de ellas diferida en un periodo de cinco años para alumnos de esta última titulación y la otra aplicada tras la visualización de algunas experiencias de laboratorio. Se discuten los resultados de los distintos item, tanto para cada muestra como comparativamente, y s…
I-Weed robot : un outil pour l'étude de population de plantes adventices
2016
The I-Weed robot is a small autonomous platform that aims to characterize the vegetation in an inter-row maize crop for a spot spraying: spraying is done only where a weed is detected. This article presents how the robot works and aims to experimentally evaluate the ability to map weeds from a WeedSeeker system (Trimble) embedded on the I-Weed robot. The results are compared to those from an imaging system, used as ground truth. After analyzing a confusion matrix, it reveals that the system is able to correctly geotag plants at 75 % and is ready for a spot spraying.
Accreditation and validation of professional qualifications: Monitoring of the process by insertion companies.
2019
People at risk for exclusion and vulnerable populations have serious difficulties in accessing the ordinary labour market. Their work insertion is more complicated than that of people with high employability capacities. People's social exclusion risk could be reduced if, among other measures, their access would be facilitated to the accreditation and validation of their professional competences. This work shows how Work Integration Social Enterprises support people at risk for exclusion in obtaining the accreditation and validation of their professional qualifications. We critically describe and analyse the process, concluding that the initiative breaks with the perception of accreditat…
Alakoulun ohjausta kehittämässä : teoriaa ja käytäntöä
2013
Kehittämishankkeen eräänä tarkoituksena on antaa kokonaiskuva alakoulun oppilaanohjauksesta sekä osoittaa alakoulun ohjauksen tarpeellisuus. Ohjaus ja opettaminen eivät ole erillisiä, jokainen opettaja on samalla myös ohjaaja. Opetus on parhaimmillaan opiskelun ja oppimisen ohjaamista. Opettajan tehtäviin kuuluu myös kasvatus, oppilaan kasvun ja kehityksen tukeminen. Perusopetuslain mukaan oppijalla on oikeus saada opintojen ohjausta. Peruskoulun tavoitteena ovat jatko-opinnot ja paikka alati muuttuvassa työelämässä; jos jo alakoulussa on opintojen ohjausta, on yläkoulussa ja jatko-opinnoissa ohjaaminen ja opiskelu todennäköisesti helpompaa. Perusopetuksen opetussuunnitelman perusteiden muk…
