More Relevant Today Than Ever: Past, Present and Future of Media Performance Research
2020
Media performance is constitutive for functioning democracies. But what is the situation regarding media performance in the age of digitalisation? And how can media performance continue to be assured under the current difficult economic conditions for the news industry? In this essay, we give a short overview of how media performance research has developed from the introduction of private broadcasting to the spread of the Internet and social media. In the course of this development, the initial focus of media performance research on media content has broadened to include media quality from the user perspective. We show how the contributions to this thematic issue relate with existing lines …
Assessment of oral manifestations in pediatric patients with celiac disease in relation to marsh types
2022
To investigate the presence of molar-incisor hypoplasia and recurrent aphthous ulcers, the level of caries experience, and oral hygiene status, and to measure salivary flow rate, salivary buffer capacity, and salivary cariogenic microflora with Marsh types. A single-blind, prospective clinical study with 62 pediatric patients diagnosed with celiac disease with 64 controls. Clinical identification of molar-incisor hypomineralization (MIH) was followed according to the European Academy of Pediatric Dentistry criteria. DMFS and dfs index were used for the caries experience of each child. The clinical diagnosis of RAU was present or not. Oral hygiene was surveyed by recording the OHI-S and the …
Enseñanza de las ciencias : revista de investigación y experiencias didácticas
2021
Este trabajo pretende identificar los problemas más relevantes para la educación obligatoria en el campo de la alimentación y la actividad física desde el punto de vista de la educación para la salud. Para ello, se realizó una revisión bibliográfica y una consulta a expertos a través de un estudio Delphi y de un encuentro presencial. Esta combinación ha permitido consensuar entre diferentes sectores profesionales no solamente una lista de problemas y contenidos competenciales necesarios sino también aquéllos considerados como prescindibles. Los resultados de este estudio permitirán actualizar la educación alimentaria en la escuela y replantearse el curriculum desde una perspectiva que integ…
Performance of $b$-Jet Identification in the ATLAS Experiment

Design perspectives on technology, language teaching and language teacher education
2012
Despite the national strategies and major efforts to promote pedagogical use of ICTs in education, training programs for in-service teachers have often failed to develop sustainable pedagogical practice. For sustainable development, teachers need to be offered opportunities to explore the role of technology in relation to their concept of language and learning, and reforms should be designed in negotiation with teachers and students. In teacher education, aspiring teachers are being informed of the latest research results, but bringing the theory down to practice is a major task that calls for development work soundly based on research. In this paper we suggest that design-based research (D…
Approximate Taylor methods for ODEs
2017
Abstract A new method for the numerical solution of ODEs is presented. This approach is based on an approximate formulation of the Taylor methods that has a much easier implementation than the original Taylor methods, since only the functions in the ODEs, and not their derivatives, are needed, just as in classical Runge–Kutta schemes. Compared to Runge–Kutta methods, the number of function evaluations to achieve a given order is higher, however with the present procedure it is much easier to produce arbitrary high-order schemes, which may be important in some applications. In many cases the new approach leads to an asymptotically lower computational cost when compared to the Taylor expansio…
The moral journey of learning a pedagogy: a qualitative exploration of student–teachers’ formal and informal writing of dialogic pedagogy
2015
Students of education encounter a range of pedagogies yet how future teachers’ appropriate moral principles are little understood. We conducted an investigation into this process with 10 international students of education attending an intensive course on ‘dialogic pedagogy’ in a university in Finland. The data comprising student learning journals and essays were coded for the level of questioning, acceptance and irreverence. In the findings, reverential acceptance was more frequent than questioning and irreverence; however, our qualitative analysis also found a large number of micro-transitions between questioning, acceptance and irreverence suggesting a dynamic interplay. Recognising this…
The Supremacy of the Constructivist Approach in the Field of Physics Education: Myths and Real Challenges
2012
We intend, first of all, to show that the supposed 'supremacy of the constructivist epistemology' in the field of physics teaching is just a myth that hides the actual supremacy of the ineffective transmission/reception model. We then centre our analyses and proposals on the real challenges to improve students' learning and attitudes. Résumé Nous essayons de montrer que la prétendue « suprématie de l'épistémologie constructiviste » dans le domaine de la didactique de la physique n'est qu'un mythe, qui cache la suprématie effective du modèle inefficace de la transmission/réception. Nous centrons ensuite nos analyses et propositions sur les défis réels pour améliorer l'apprentissage et les at…
Metodi digitali per l'insegnamento classico e umanistico
2020
Il volume propone una riflessione critica di carattere metodologico su alcuni strumenti e tecniche digitali per l'insegnamento scolastico ed universitario in ambito umanistico, con un'attenzione particolare alla didattica delle lingue, letterature e culture classiche. Per ciascuno strumento digitale, si valuta se esso comporti un effettivo miglioramento dal punto di vista dei metodi, alla luce di alcuni obiettivi e principi educativi generali: sono presentate e discusse solo innovazioni digitali che, in chiave costruttivista, rendano l'apprendimento più attivo, più critico, più creativo e più orientato verso un contributo positivo alla società. Una serie di proposte didattiche accompagna la…
Dreams and Trauma Changes in the Manifest Dreams in Psychoanalytic Treatments - A Psychoanalytic Outcome Measure.
2021
Although psychoanalysts are interested in symptom reduction as an outcome, they are looking for instruments to measure sustaining changes in the unconscious mental functioning. In this article it is discussed that conceptually well-founded transformation of manifest dreams analyzed with precise empirical methods could be considered as a promising indicator for such therapeutic changes. We are summarizing a dream generation model by Moser and von Zeppelin which has integrated a large interdisciplinary knowledge base of contemporary dream and sleep research. Based on this model the authors have developed a valid and reliable coding system for analyzing manifest dreams, the Zurich Dream Proces…
