Citizenship Education at the Republican Schools in France: Comprehensive Review and Teachers' Points of View
2019
Citizenship Education at the Republican Schools in France: Comprehensive Review and Teachers' Points of View This thesis deals with citizenship education in France, a subject that has been on the agenda for some thirty years and the object of intense debates, especially in a national community deeply shocked by recent terrorist attacks. As there are but few studies on the subject, especially from an empirical perspective (Bozec, 2016), our objective is a comprehensive review of citizenship education in France. We explore how the subject is conceived officially and integrates national curricula as well as how it is implemented at school. In fact, we seek to answer the question: how is citize…

A Descriptive Case Analysis of Instructional Teaching Practices in Finnish Preschool Classrooms
2013
This study examined the diversity of teaching practices to illuminate the qualitative variety of instructional teaching practices among preschool teachers. Further, teachers' self-rated educational goals were explored to complement the multifaceted nature of preschool teachers' instructional teaching practices. The study was carried out as a case study. The cases were used to describe the qualitative variety of Finnish preschool teachers' instructional practices in authentic classroom situations among groups of 6-year-old children. The authors' previous study revealed four distinct latent profiles of teaching practices in preschool classrooms based on 49 observed preschool teachers, using t…
Classroom management practices and their associations with children’s mathematics skills in two cultural groups
2014
The aim of the study was to examine the extent to which contextual factors predict children’s mathematics skills in different cognitive domains. The sample consisted of 1734 students from 26 Estonian- and 17 Russian-language schools in Estonia. Mathematics and non-verbal reasoning tests were carried out at the beginning of the third grade. In addition, teachers were asked about their classroom management practices. The results of multilevel modelling showed that applying supportive practices in the classroom contributes to higher achievement in mathematics. Teachers from Estonian- and Russian-language schools were also found to differ with regard to their management practices, and these pra…
Introduzione a: FUOCO E CARBONE : le tradizioni dei carbonai
2022
L'introduzione al volume: Fuoco e carbone. Le tradizioni dei carbonai sottolinea un’accorta indagine sul lavoro dei carbonai sardi, sulle fasi di produzione del carbone, sull’influenza che hanno avuto le maestranze toscane nel trasferimento di competenze e abilità sui carbonai locali, sul rapporto uomo-mondo vegetale che trovava massima espressione nel “processo di personificazione” della carbonaia con l’attribuzione di nomi e appellativi. Lo studio indaga, inoltre, le prime attestazioni di utilizzo del fuoco da parte degli uomini e gli impieghi ergologici e sociali che proprio il fuoco ha assunto nel tempo, la sua dimensione simbolica, quella linguistica, l’universo eterogeneo di pratiche …

Submersed in the water, buried in the ground: comparative studies on metal assemblages and single finds from french Iron Age non-funerary contexts (V…
2020
Metal hoards are emblematic discoveries of European protohistoric societies and therefore an extremely dynamic research theme. However, even though there are many synthetic studies concerning Bronze Age practices, they are much less frequent concerning Iron Age deposits. In fact, since 1995 (Kurz 1995), no synthetic inventory on this subject had been carried out despite the regular increase in the number of discoveries since the development and multiplication of preventive archaeological excavations. Under these conditions, it seemed important to update the data and this led to the completion of a master's degree on this subject in 2011 (Le Cozanet 2011). Since then, our research hasn‘t cea…
Case study of a Finnish training program for Chinese school principals
2013
Quality leadership training has a positive effect on school leaders. Although there is an increased interest in overseas training for educational leaders in China, little is known about the leadership practices and professional development of school leaders. This study explored Chinese school principals’ perceptions of leadership practices and professional development after undertaking a Finnish training program in October 2011. The data were collected by semi-structured interviews from six Shanghai principals and analyzed by inductive content analysis. The findings showed this training has affected Chinese principals’ work positively, including creating more effective leadership, handling …
Sustainable Food Consumption Practices: How Marketing can Contribute to Institutional Change: An Abstract
2020
Over the past 20 years, health and environmental issues have led to the reshaping of a more sustainable or resilient agriculture and to increased sales of organic and local products. However, organic food accounts for only $4 billion in Canada, barely 3% of total annual food consumption, and direct-to-consumer markets represent only 3% of Quebecers’ food consumption (Mundler and Laughrea 2015).
