Työelämäyhteistyö ammattikorkeakouluopettajan osaamishaasteena
2019
Tässä tutkimuksessa tarkasteltiin ammattikorkeakouluopettajien työelämäyhteistyön osaamishaasteita. Tutkimusaineisto kerättiin yksilö- ja ryhmähaastatteluilla, joihin osallistui 16 eri alojen ammattikorkeakouluopettajaa. Aineisto analysoitiin temaattisella analyysillä. Työelämäyhteistyön osaamishaasteina tulivat esille muutos koulutuksen ja työelämän suhteissa, verkostomainen opettajuus, monipuolisten taitojen hallinta ja pedagogiikan uudistaminen. Ammattikorkeakouluopettajien työelämäyhteistyö edellyttää uusien taitojen omaksumisen lisäksi yhteisöllisyyden kehittämistä niin työelämän kuin opiskelijoidenkin kanssa.
Peut-on parler de recherche en pédagogie universitaire, aujourd’hui, en France ?
2009
Définir la pédagogie universitaire et savoir ce qu’elle recouvre en France en termes de recherche constitue un enjeu. En effet, le manque de visibilité et de lisibilité de ce champ en limitent probablement la portée à l’heure où la notion de qualité semble se faire plus pressante dans le contexte universitaire français. En partant d’une définition opérationnelle de ce que l’on peut entendre par pédagogie universitaire en France et en s’appuyant sur une recherche documentaire effectuée à partir de la base de données Francis ainsi que de la consultation de programmes complets de différents colloques, cet article vise à mettre en perspective et à illustrer les principaux axes de recherche qui …
WITTA Between Globalization and Localization: New Challenges in View of Geopolitical Developments, Impending Digitalization, and Artificial Intellige…
2020
Internationalization of higher education also concerns the training of translators, interpreters, and other language service providers. Their services will continue to be of paramount importance for global development, where they become increasingly important as a bridge for economic and cultural exchanges. The Belt and Road Initiative of China will strengthen the demand for language services in an increasingly transnational environment. Since new forms of cooperation are necessary and desirable, WITTA as a new association should strive at becoming an autonomous transnational Think Tank that generates policy-oriented research, analysis, and advice on domestic and international issues in the…
Itinerarios De M-Learning en La Educación Universitaria
2015
In recent years, mobile devices like smartphones, tablets, and laptops allow immediate connection and content exchange among people "anytime, anywhere" (Park S.Y., et al. 2012). 'Ubiquitous learning’ becomes very important in higher and university education also in order to emphasize the educational paths’ design and maximize students’ learning opportunities. At this regard, it‘s interesting to consider the assumptions of the connectivism theory (Siemens, 2005) as a theoretical reference for the e-learning design. For verifying these assumptions and clarifying whether Italian teachers and students share them, we conducted this research. This empirical study aims to grasp what type of mobile…

Practical applications of naturalistic inquiry in intercultural education
2021
In recent years, the field of intercultural communication has seen a remarkable shift characterized by a growth in publications that distance themselves from the traditional, essentialist understanding of culture. In research, this shift is reflected in approaches that appreciate culture-in-action instead of taking culture for granted as a stable entity that pre-exists social interaction and predicts as well as explains human behavior. However, despite attempts to introduce differentiated views on culture and interculturality in education, concrete options for critical intercultural training are scarce and often remain abstract, which makes their application challenging. This article argues…
