Writing tasks in EFL teaching : analysis of the writing tasks in Finnish schoolbooks
2015
Perusopetuksen opetussuunnitelman perusteet (2004) englannin kielen kirjoitustaidon osalta jättävät vastuun kirjoitustehtävien suunnittelusta opettajille ja kirjantekijöille. Oppimateriaaleja tutkimalla voidaan saavuttaa tietoa englannin kielen opetuksesta Suomessa. Tutkielma pyrkii selvittämään, minkä tyyppistä kirjoitustaitoa opetetaan suomalaisissa englannin kielen oppimateriaaleissa ja tutkimus keskittyy kirjoitustehtävien painopisteiden tutkimiseen kahden kysymyksen kautta. Ensiksi tutkittiin kirjoitustehtävien sijoittumista muotoa painottavien ja sisältöä painottavien tehtävien väliselle akselille, ja toiseksi selvitettiin, minkälaisia kirjoittamisen taitoja tehtävät harjoittavat.

Establishment size and task-specific wages: Evidence from historical contract data
2014
This study examines whether task-specific jobs are rewarded differently across establishments of different sizes and whether these rewards vary across distinct technologies. We found that the aggregate premium estimates on the impact of size on wages conceal significant differences between tasks and technologies and that these differences reflect unobserved individual heterogeneity. The role of self-selection of more productive workers into larger establishments is particularly substantial in the case of abstract tasks. peerReviewed
Analysis of the resolution processes of threemodeling tasks
2017
[EN] n this paper we present a comparative analysis of the resolution process of three modeling tasks per-formed by secondary education students (13-14 years), designed from three di erent points of view: TheModelling-eliciting Activities, the LEMA project, and the Realistic Mathematical Problems. The purposeof this analysis is to obtain a methodological characterization of them in order to provide to secondaryeducation teachers a proper selection and sequencing of tasks for their implementation in the classroom.
Análisis de los modelos matemáticos producidos durante la resolución de problemas de Fermi
2017
[EN] In this paper, we present an analysis of written productions of 16 year-old students while solving Estimation Problems involving Big Numbers (EPiBN). This kind of problems is a particular type of Fermi problems and allows us to introduce modelling processes in Secondary school classrooms. Our analysis supports on the characterization of mathematical models developed by students based on the model definition of Lesh and Harel. The results show that, through the analysis of EPiBN resolutions, differentiating aspects can be distinguished between the models produced by students without modelling experience of those produced by students with prior experience, especially in the concepts and …
Odrębności ustrojowe gmin uzdrowiskowych
2019
The aim of this article is to present the distinct legal status of a spa commune (gmina) in Poland. With this aim, the considerations focus on the development of legislation on spa communes, which dates back to 1922. Nevertheless, the basis for the considerations relates to the current legal situ-ation. In her article, the author indicates that a spa commune is a municipality of the dual legal model: standard and special. The differences are connected with a number of aspects: the area, name, tasks and spa fees charged, the spa commission, the statute and supervisory activity. They result from the specific character of these communes, which is determined by the presence of pub-lic tasks con…
La nuova disciplina delle mansioni tra flessibilità organizzativa e tutela del prestatore di lavoro
2016
Il saggio analizza la liberalizzazione della disciplina delle mansioni introdotta dal d.lgs. 81/2015 (Jobs Act). The essay analyses the liberalisation of the Italian legal framework on task introduced by Legislative decree no. 81/2015 (Jobs Act).
Hands-on tasks in CLIL science classrooms as sites for subject-specific language use and learning
2015
This paper is concerned with content and language integrated learning (CLIL), i.e. classrooms where a foreign or second language (L2) is used as the means of instruction and where content and language learning objectives merge. More specifically, it explores the potential of hands-on tasks in CLIL chemistry and physics lessons to serve as sites for using and learning subject-specific language, conceptualised as both special concepts and terminology as well as subject-specific ways of constructing meaning. Using discourse analysis, attention was directed to hands-on tasks as well as pre-task and post-task phases. The findings indicate that despite the evident content orientation in the tasks…
Effects of a Physical Activity Intervention on Physical Fitness of schoolchildren: The Enriched Sport Activity Program
2020
Background: Physical fitness in youth is a predictor of health in adulthood. The main objective of the present study was to understand if an enriched sport activity program could increase physical fitness in a population of schoolchildren. Methods: In a sample of 672 children aged 10.0 ±
Can loss of sensory attenuation be accurately demonstrated using two effectors simultaneously?
2015
Sir, Recently, Parees and colleagues (2014) compared patients with functional (psychogenic) movement disorders and healthy subjects who were asked to match a force delivered to their left finger by pressing on it directly, or by operating a joystick to press down on it, with the other hand. They observed that healthy subjects generated more force than required when pressing directly on their finger (compared with using the joystick), whereas patients did not. They interpreted and discussed this result as a loss of sensory attenuation that typically occurs in healthy subjects during self-generated movements and suggested by return, that it illustrates an altered sense of agency for the patie…
Developing and using tasks for the assessment of speaking
2019
This article provides an overview of the development and use of tasks for the assessment of speaking. It first addresses the key role of the assessment of the skill of speaking within language assessment in general and in the context of teaching and learning foreign languages. Then, it discusses how social changes and research have reshaped the way speaking is defined and operationalized, and focuses on how speaking can be assessed more validly and reliably today. The central role of tasks is also discussed, together with the importance of taking into consideration the implications and impact of different task characteristics. Some recommendations for the development of useful and meaningfu…
