Women’s teaching in the Roman Hispania: Guess unfounded
2015
In Mérida remains a nice funerary stela dedicated to a young girl. For many years the interpretation was that it means a dedication of a teacher to her disciple and therefore a unique example of women teaching in Hispania was imposed. Although this view is still ruled today remains in various studies that false belief. The reality is that there is no evidence that women, except of certain situations associated with the formation of the slaves, developed an educational activity in Rome. This circumstance remained with the triumph of Christianity. Hispania was no exception in the Roman world.
Chapter 5. Overcoming scepticism? Belief and moral responsibility
2006
Este es el capítulo 5 de mi libro Moral Responsibility: the ways of scepticism (Routledge 2006). Los cuatro primeros capítulos son comentarios extensos a un importante argumento escéptico sobre la posibilidad de la responsabilidad moral, que puede reconstruirse o extraerse fácilmente a partir de la bibliografía actual sobre la responsabilidad moral. El argumento, que denomino SMR (por “Scepticism about Moral Responsibility”), puede formularse como sigue: Primera premisa (A): O el determinismo es verdadero o no lo es. Segunda premisa (B): Si el determinismo es verdadero, la responsabilidad moral no es posible. Tercera premisa (C): Si el determinismo no es verdadero, la responsabilidad moral …
Adolescent reading and math skills and self-concept beliefs as predictors of age 20 emotional well-being
2023
This study examines longitudinal associations among reading skills, math skills and emotional well-being in a Finnish sample (n = 586) followed from the end of comprehensive school (Grade 9, age 15–16) to age 20. In particular, we determine whether the associations between skills and well-being are mediated by self-concept beliefs. In Grade 9, the participants’ reading fluency, PISA reading comprehension and math skills were assessed in classrooms, and questionnaires were used to assess self-concept (global and skill-specific) and internalising problems. At age 20, questionnaires were used to self-report emotional well-being and educational attainment. The results showed no direct predictiv…

Estudio de la relación entre la creencia en las pseudociencias y la alfabetización científica del alumnado de Bachillerato
2021
La presencia de ideas pseudocientíficas en el alumnado y el bajo nivel de alfabetización científica ponen en relieve un problema de insuficiencia en las metodologías de enseñanza de las ciencias. El objetivo de este estudio es analizar la relación entre el nivel de alfabetización científica y el grado de creencia en pseudociencia en el alumnado preuniversitario como una forma de evaluar la preparación científica que han recibido durante la secundaria. Para ello se pasó un cuestionario a 90 estudiantes del bachillerato Científico-tecnológico y Humanidades y Ciencias Sociales en el que se evalúan el grado de acuerdo entre diversas afirmaciones pseudocientíficas y el nivel de alfabetización ci…
Could a Behavioral Model Explain Adherence to Second-Level Colonoscopy for Colon Cancer Screening? Results of a Cross-Sectional Study of the Palermo …
2022
According to Italian Essential Levels of Assistance (ELA), a colonoscopy is strongly recommended after a positive fecal occult blood test (FOBT) due to its effectiveness in early colorectal cancer detection. Despite the evidence, the Palermo province population (Italy), after a positive FOBT, have a lower colonoscopy adherence compared to Italian standards. This cross-sectional study analyzed patients’ perceptions of colonoscopy procedures to understand the reasons for non-adherence. Patients with a positive FOBT who did not undergo a colonoscopy within the national organized screening program were administered a telephone interview based on the Health Belief Model (HBM) questionnaire. The …
Comparing male and female students’ self-efficacy and self-regulation skills in two undergraduate mathematics course contexts
2018
International audience; Students' efficacy beliefs have a positive influence on students' academic achievement and retention, especially for female students. These beliefs are closely linked to students' ability to regulate their learning. In this quantitative study, students' self-efficacy and self-regulation of learning are compared in two university mathematics courses that differ in content but also in their pedagogical setting: one is a more traditional lecture-based course, and the other course is taught with the Extreme Apprenticeship (XA) method. The analysis is based on the same cohort of students in the two contexts (N=91). The results suggest that students have higher self-effica…
Self-regulated learning, self-efficacy beliefs and performance during the late childhood
2010
This article analyzes relations between self-regulated learning, self-efficacy beliefs, and performance in tasks of solving arithmetic problems. The research includes 268 six-year-old students enrolled in the first year of primary school in Spain. The results from binary logistic regression models indicate that self-regulated learning and its interaction with self-efficacy beliefs predict performance. Finally, the cluster analysis shows four profiles of students: i) positive adjusted; ii) negative unadjusted I; iii) negative unadjusted II y; iv) negative adjusted.. Este artículo analiza relaciones entre el aprendizaje autorregulado, las creencias de autoeficacia y el desempeño en tareas de …
Finnish teacher-students’ views on home-school cooperation
2019
This study focused on the views on home-school cooperation of teacher-students who are in the process of becoming professionals. The data were gathered from five focus-group interviews of 19 Finnish teacher-students. The data were analysed thematically. Better learning results were not the general aim of cooperation; instead, the aim was the child’s well-being. All parties benefited when cooperation functioned well. Yet, factors related to parents and teachers’ lack of time hinder cooperation. The views of home-school cooperation were a combination of the participants’ childhood memories, stories they had heard from their friends and colleagues and, less saliently, ideas originating from te…
