The Prairie Diagnosis: a tool to assess and characterize the grassland base of long-term temporary and permanent grasslands
2022
Permanent and temporary grasslands represent nearly 44 % of the French UAA. This vast area is rich in a very wide range of flora, from hillside meadows with subterranean clover to flooded meadows and marshes with Baldingere, not forgetting sown meadows which, over the years, can host numerous spontaneous species. The method of prairie diagnosis is based on a botanical approach to the prairie with the objective of qualifying the forage aptitudes of the cover. The diagnosis of a meadow is only of interest and relevance if it is integrated into a forage system consistent with the strategies of a farmer. It is based on the premise that the flora of a meadow is the result of the interaction of "…
Rola rodziny i szkoły w procesie kształtowania postaw czytelniczych dzieci w młodszym wieku szkolnym
2018
Nowoczesne media, ze względu na prostotę sposobu informowania o świecie, stanowią dziś ogromną konkurencję dla treści przekazywanych drukiem. Ciągły i dynamiczny postęp w tym zakresie spowodował spadek zainteresowania książką w życiu i edukacji człowieka a wielu badaczy sygnalizuje, że o ile telewizja, radio, czy komputer towarzyszą człowiekowi codziennie, o tyle w przypadku lektury nie jest to już takie oczywiste. Taki stan rzeczy jest szczególnie niepokojący, jeżeli dotyczy dzieci. Człowiek nie rodzi się bowiem czytelnikiem, lecz staje się nim w procesie inkulturacji. Trudno określić, które ze środowisk wychowawczych, szkoła czy rodzina pełni kluczową rolę w kształtowaniu postaw dzieci wo…
Beyond the Educational Context: Relevance of Intrinsic Reading Motivation During COVID-19 Confinement in Spain
2021
What role could have intrinsic motivation toward reading in an extraordinary situation like the recent confinement? This research examines the relationship between intrinsic reading motivation (IRM) and reading habits in an adult population considering types of reading (for leisure, work/study, social networks, and news), gender, and distress generated by the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Participants were 3,849 adults from Spain who were surveyed about their reading practices: before, during the first weeks, and after several weeks of confinement. Linear mixed effects models (LMMs) were used to analyze data. Results showed a three-way interaction between reading frequency, …
Teaching a skill or using a tool? : Studying Finnish EFL teachers’ beliefs about the teaching of reading and writing
2016
How teachers construct their beliefs about foreign language (FL) teaching in shifting educational contexts is an important, yet little known area. This study addresses this issue through a discourse analysis of research interviews conducted with 16 Finnish English as a foreign language (EFL) teachers about their views of teaching reading and writing. It identifies four different subject positions: ‘unaccountable’, ‘old-time’, ‘modern’ and ‘authentic’. The study shows that the participating teachers’ beliefs are contradictory and that although the teachers are aware of more recent discourses of language teaching, they find it difficult to link these with their teaching practice. peerReviewed
Task-oriented reading efficiency : interplay of general cognitive ability, task demands, strategies and reading fluency
2022
AbstractThe associations among readers’ cognitive skills (general cognitive ability, reading skills, and attentional functioning), task demands (easy versus difficult questions), and process measures (total fixation time on relevant and irrelevant paragraphs) was investigated to explain task-oriented reading accuracy and efficiency (number of scores in a given time unit). Structural equation modeling was applied to a large dataset collected with sixth-grade students, which included samples of dysfluent readers and those with attention difficulties. The results are in line with previous findings regarding the dominant role of general cognitive ability in the accuracy of task-oriented reading…
Word Reading Skills and Externalizing and Internalizing Problems from Grade 1 to Grade 2 : Developmental Trajectories and Bullying Involvement in Gra…
2019
School bullying is associated with externalizing and internalizing problems, but little is known about whether reading difficulties also play a part. We asked how, in Grades 1 and 2, word reading skills and externalizing/internalizing problems predict the degree to which students are involved in bullying in Grade 3. Using a sample of 480 Finnish children (M age = 7 years 2 months at the beginning of the study), developmental profiles were identified using mixture modeling based on reading skills, as well as externalizing and internalizing problems. In Grade 3, one fifth of the students were involved in bullying as victims, bullies, or bully/victims. Poor readers with externalizing/internali…

Lasītpratības attīstīšana pamatskolas klasēs latviešu valodas un literatūras stundās attālinātajā mācību procesā
2021
Lasītpratība ir pastāvīgi pilnveidojama kompetence, lai skolēns sekmīgi apgūtu mācību saturu visos mācību priekšmetos. Kompetenču pieeja paredz pašvadītu mācīšanos, ko aktualizējis attālināto mācību periods. Pašvadīta mācīšanās nav īstenojama, ja skolēnam ir grūtības izprast lasīto. Skolēnu lasītpratības attīstībai pamatskolā ir izteikti starpdisciplinārs raksturs – tā pilnveidojama ne tikai latviešu valodas un literatūras stundās, bet arī citos mācību priekšmetos. Diplomdarba mērķis ir apzināt un izpētīt metodes un metodiskās pieejas, kas izmantojamas lasītpratības attīstīšanai pamatskolā latviešu valodas un literatūras stundās attālinātajā mācību procesā un aprobēt tās. Diplomdarbā apkopo…
Lasīšanas Detektīvi Skolēnu Lasītprasmes (Lasītpratības) Pilnveidei Angļu valodas stundās 7.klasē
2020
Diplomdarba autores pieredze liecina, ka salīdzinoši neliels pētījumu skaits Latvijā veikts saistībā ar skolēnu lasītpratības mērījumiem svešvalodā. No otras puses, līdzīgi pētījumi ik gadu tiek veikti un ir zināmi kā starptautiskie lasītprasmes novērtēšanas pētījumi (PIRLS), kur tiek noteiktas lasīšanas spējas sākumskolas skolēniem. Taču oficiālu datu par kopējo lasītprasmes līmeni pusaudžiem, lasot svešvalodā, ir nepietiekami. Tā kā svešvalodas apguve ir saistīta ar dzimtās valodas izpratni, tiek uzsvērta metakognitīvā pieeja un kā viena no metakognitīvām stratēģijām minēti ir lasīšanas detektīvi. To fokuss ir kognitīvās stratēģijas, kas parādās skolēnam sastopoties ar izaicinošu tekstu. …
The distributions of protein coding genes within chromatin domains in relation to human disease.
2019
Abstract Background Our understanding of the nuclear chromatin structure has increased hugely during the last years mainly as a consequence of the advances in chromatin conformation capture methods like Hi-C. The unprecedented resolution of genome-wide interaction maps shows functional consequences that extend the initial thought of an efficient DNA packaging mechanism: gene regulation, DNA repair, chromosomal translocations and evolutionary rearrangements seem to be only the peak of the iceberg. One key concept emerging from this research is the topologically associating domains (TADs) whose functional role in gene regulation and their association with disease is not fully untangled. Resul…
