La migrazione studentesca dalla Laurea Triennale alla Laurea Magistrale
2017
In the last years, the Italian universities have experienced significant changes that involve the students and the universities' governance. Students' enrolment has decreased significantly especially after the economic crisis of 2008, while the students' migration from the South to the Central and Northern regions of the country has increased.

MAKE LIFE EASIER ON CAMPUS WITH HIGH-SPEED NETWORK
2012
In this paper I have shown that with the evolution of technology, networks and the Internet have become an almost daily necessity, being an essential part of our individual, economic and social life.

The modern information society is already a reality, which ignores frontiers which may pass any spatial or temporal limitations due to the communication system. Economy, politics and society today are based ever more on a computerized infrastructure.
An analysis of english discourse markers of reformulation
2003
SUMARYThe present dissertation deals with the notion of reformulation and with a group of lexical units by means of which the activity of reformulation is codified and explicitly signaled in the language. These lexical units will be referred to as DISCOURSE MARKERS of REFORMULATION or REFORMULATORS. The area of reformulation and of English reformulators is still an uncharted and unexplored territory. Thus, it was necessary to first provide an adequate definition of the notion of REFORMULATION in the English speaking-world that would allow me to lay the foundations for the detailed study of a group of lexical units that display a reformulative function in English. Secondly, I elaborated a ju…
One minute papers: rendiment i satisfacció de l'alumnat
2014
El procés de millora d'ensenyament- aprenentatge en el context universitari ha generat l'aplicació de noves o millorades tècniques docents, les quals fomenten una participació activa de l'alumne i una major interacció amb el professor.

En particular, aquesta experiència docent es va fer en una assignatura de comptabilitat en el Grau d'Administració i Direcció d'Empreses de la Universitat de Santiago de Co…
Open University and Zero-Advanced Students - Who the Students Are and Why They Don't Progress?
2020
In recent decades, the talk of lifelong and continuous learning has become an internationally prevailing trend. Lifelong learning has many meanings depending on the interests and the determinants. On the other hand, lifelong learning is understood in the context of adult education as the OECD's contribution to market-liberal social and economic governance. In this case, the main actor is the individual with responsibilities and duties to ensure social competitiveness. On the other hand, lifelong learning is defined by adult education, cultural democracy, narrowing educational disparities and cultural equality. In the ethos of lifelong learning and in the spirit of continuous education, many…

Społeczny ethos uczonych a procesy "zurzędniczania" nauki
2018
Niniejszy artykuł stawowi wynik namysłu nad zagadnieniem społecznego ethosu uczonych w kontekście dominacji ujmowania nauki w perspektywie ilościowej.

Twardowski), jak i społecznym (prof. F. Znaniecki). Pozostają również w ścisłym związku z uniwersalnym przesłaniem zawartym w rocie ślubowania składanego przez pracowników nauki podczas uroczystości promocji doktorskiej, czyli na progu ich inicjacji akademickiej. Intencją zestawienia klasycznych podejść do ról i wynikającego z nich ethosu uczonych z …
