Learning to read for the first time as adult immigrants in Finland : Reviewing pertinent research of low-literate or non-literate learners’ literacy …
2018
Against the backdrop of increasing global humanitarian migration to highly literate countries and the resulting necessity and challenge to provide language and literacy education to non-literate or low-literate adult second language (L2) learners, this article calls for more research on a new population of late literacy learners, particularly in Finland. The article begins by outlining the pressing necessity for research on this special group of L2 learners who has traditionally been ignored by Second Language Acquisition (SLA) research. It will then go on to illuminate essential components of developing reading literacy, drawing on relevant previous research on pre-literates. Further, the …
Revista electrónica de investigación y evaluación educativa
2016
El Programa para la Evaluación Internacional de Alumnos (PISA) proporciona un marco en el que más de 80 países colaboran para construir métricas globales avanzadas para explorar los conocimientos, habilidades y atributos del estudiantado. El diseño de las evaluaciones plantea importantes desafíos conceptuales y técnicos, como el éxito del aprendizaje. Más allá de una base conceptual sólida, PISA necesita cumplir una serie de exigencias a veces contradictorios. Los/as administradores de escuelas, autoridades normativas y los docentes deben ser capaces de utilizar esta información de la evaluación para determinar cómo crear mejores oportunidades para el aprendizaje de los estudiantes. Las eva…
Comparison of Machine Learning Methods in Stochastic Skin Optical Model Inversion
2020
In this study, we compare six different machine learning methods in the inversion of a stochastic model for light propagation in layered media, and use the inverse models to estimate four parameters of the skin from the simulated data: melanin concentration, hemoglobin volume fraction, and thicknesses of epidermis and dermis. The aim of this study is to determine the best methods for stochastic model inversion in order to improve current methods in skin related cancer diagnostics and in the future develop a non-invasive way to measure the physical parameters of the skin based partially on the results of the study. Of the compared methods, which are convolutional neural network, multi-layer …

Edukacja jutra determinanty przemian systemu edukacji w Polsce i na Ukrainie
2016
W artykule przedstawiono problemy edukacji jutra w Polsce i na Ukrainie. Zdefiniowano problemy ukraińskiego systemu edukacyjnego,utrudniające rozwój jednostki i społeczeństwa. Przeanalizowano przyczyny niestosowania właściwego podejścia do edukacji w programach nauczania i podręcznikach. Zaproponowano zmianę podstawowych aspektów polskiej i ukraińskiej edukacji, aby mogły sprostać wymaganiom współczesnego świata. Konkludując zaprezentowaną refleksję, raz jeszcze należy przypomnieć,iż współczesne przemiany edukacyjne oparte być muszą na ustanawianiu strategii oraz działań szczegółowych w zakresie uczenia się na przestrzeni całego życia. Od powodzenia w realizacji tego przedsięwzięcia zależeć…

Learning 2.0 : the online community for apprenticeship
2012
International audience; Training courses are a strategic challenge for any organizations. E-learning solutions appears as a relevant alternative for the company training expense (fewer raised prices for the customer, fewer traveling for the learners and trainers, mentored learning, timetable flexible…). Recently, the emerging of Web 2.0 eras has shown that the online user behavior has changed. Now, the online users are likely to share their knowledge and gain acknowledgement How the construction of e-learning communities, in mobile or non-mobile using spaces, appears as efficient for distant apprenticeship? Our paper deal with a communicational approach of the e-learning for professional tr…

Research data supporting "Social learning within and across predator species reduces attacks on novel aposematic prey"
2019
This data is from the experiment that investigated how wild-caught blue tits and great tits use conspecific and heterospecific information about unpalatable prey, published at the Journal of Animal Ecology (2020). The experiment was conducted at the Konnevesi Research Station from October to December 2017. Sheet 1 (“Main experiment”) contains data from the main avoidance learning experiment. Sheets 2 (“Symbol preference blue tits”) and 3 ("Symbol visibility blue tits") contain data of blue tits' symbol choices in initial preference and visibility tests.
The Impact Of Hybrid Infrastructure On Trust, Motivation And Knowledge Sharing In An Intentional Community: A Latvian Case Study
2013
The role of ICT infrastructure in enhancing innovation processes through fostering knowledge and information exchange is a controversial topic in regional science. Opposing views exist, in particular, with regard to two topics: a) the persistence of a specific role of geographical proximity in knowledge exchange processes in the age of global virtual networking; b) the capability of virtual networking to recreate the social assets of a physical community (trust, solidarity?). Existing studies primarily focus on aggregated data, rely on doubtful epistemological assumptions (e.g. the equation of information with knowledge), and neglect several epistemological principles of social cognition (e…
