Virtudes escolares percibidas por estudiantes y docentes ecuatorianos: diferencias según sexo, establecimiento y roles

2020

El objetivo del estudio es evaluar la virtuosidad percibida en organizaciones escolares y las diferencias por tipo de centro educativo (fiscal, municipal); sexo (mujer, hombre) y rol (estudiantes, docentes). Se trató de un estudio instrumental basado en el análisis de la estructura factorial y la fiabilidad de un cuestionario para evaluar virtudes percibidas en escuelas (VPOE); y, de un estudio descriptivo transversal que analizó diferencias por sexo, rol y tipo de organizaciones escolares con relación a las virtudes percibidas. Se trabajó con una muestra de 550 estudiantes (49.28 % mujeres) y 105 docentes (47.62% mujeres). El análisis factorial determinó un modelo de cuatro factores que pe…

AnatomySketch : An Extensible Open-Source Software Platform for Medical Image Analysis Algorithm Development

2021

AbstractThe development of medical image analysis algorithm is a complex process including the multiple sub-steps of model training, data visualization, human–computer interaction and graphical user interface (GUI) construction. To accelerate the development process, algorithm developers need a software tool to assist with all the sub-steps so that they can focus on the core function implementation. Especially, for the development of deep learning (DL) algorithms, a software tool supporting training data annotation and GUI construction is highly desired. In this work, we constructed AnatomySketch, an extensible open-source software platform with a friendly GUI and a flexible plugin interfac…

Vocabulary learning strategies : a study on Finnish first-year high school students’ independent vocabulary learning

2009

     Oppimisstrategiat ovat olennainen osa vieraan kielen omaksumista, ja ne ovat jo pitkään olleet laajan tutkimuksen kohteena. Sanaston oppiminen nähdään yhä tärkeämpänä osana kielitaitoa ja koulujen opetusohjelmaa, minkä vuoksi sanaston oppimisstrategiat ovat kasvava tutkimuskohde kielitieteessä. Suuri osa uusien sanojen oppimisesta on kuitenkin oppilaiden omalla ajalla tapahtuvaa itsenäistä työskentelyä, ja tutkimus oppilaiden omista käsityksistä eri strategioiden käytöstä ja tehokkuudesta on ollut vähäisempää. Tämä kandidaatin tutkielma keskittyi selvittämään, millaisia strategioita lukion 1. vuoden opiskelijat käyttävät opiskellessaan sanastoa itsenäisesti, kuinka sitoutuneita he ovat…

Oikealle alalle? : logistiikka-alan ammattikoulutuksen ja työelämän osaamisen todellisuuksien kohtaaminen

2016

The aim of this doctoral thesis was to study how vocational education and training (VET) and working life encounter each other. Naturally the research topic chosen was selected from the researcher´s own professional field, i.e., logistics education. The research task was to examine, how VET-students' professional expectations in the study field of logistics encounter with the working life realities. The main research question was “How do the logistics (driver training) students’ vocational expectations encounter with the requirements of dynamically changing working life from the point of view of the vocational competence, the time span of 2001-2025?” The two sub-questions were 1) How do the…

Learning across contexts: How can vocational teachers facilitate boundary learning for students in work-based placements?

2022

A well-known challenge in vocational education and training (VET) programmes is the lack of coherence between school-based and workplace learning. The Norwegian VET model consists of two years of upper secondary education followed by two years of apprenticeship at work. This small-scale study of vocational teacher’s vocational didactics aims to investigate boundary learning at the VET Programme for Sales and Service at the Norwegian upper secondary level. The research question explored is: How can vocational teachers improve boundary learning for students in work-based placements in the subject vocational in-depth study (YFF)? The methodological approach is qualitative interviews with vocat…

“Voz del alumnado”: hacer de los estudiantes participantes activos y responsables en los procesos formativos activados en la escuela y en la universi…

2017

"Voce degli studenti" è un movimento pedagogico nato negli anni novanta in alcuni paesi di lingua inglese (Stati Uniti, Canada, Inghilterra e Australia). Supporta la partecipazione attiva e responsabile degli studenti ai processi di formazione attivati nella scuola e nell'università. Per includere le voci degli studenti in questi processi, gli adulti (insegnanti e amministratori) devono riconoscere i loro diritti di essere ascoltati e rispettati come persone con interessi, bisogni di apprendimento e idee che possono risolvere i problemi della didattica scolastica/universitaria, della ricerca educativa e delle politiche culturali in cui si devono prendere decisioni che li riguardano. In ques…

How secondary school pupils bring their informal learning experiences into a Content and Language Integrated (CLIL) classroom

2014

This article explores how students’ informal language learning experiences with English find their way into the formal context of content-based language teaching (CLIL). The analysis is focused on stretches of classroom talk in which native Finnish-speaking students draw on their expertise of English-language popular culture, and use their knowledge as a semiotic resource for producing various types of actions. Based on the data, it is argued that the organisation of peer group talk in the language classroom provides students with affordances for participation that are characteristically different from whole-class interaction. In this environment, global popular culture and conversational h…

From ‘intercultural-washing’ to meaningful intercultural education: Revisiting higher education practice

2021

This is the first special issue that JPHE hosts—and could there be a more suitable forum for an issue dedicated to exploring and encouraging a critical dialogue around transformative intercultural communication teaching practices in higher education (HE)? What has led us to engage with the theme of making intercultural education meaningful is a shared observation that there seems to be an increasing disconnect between recent developments in intercultural communication theory and practice. With so much critique published over the years, we are perplexed as to why traditional notions of culture still prevail not only in mainstream intercultural communication research but also in institutional…
