More Than a Technical Discipline: The Accounting Culture in Italy, A glance through the “Schools”
2011
In consideration of the lack of a common understanding of some important concepts in the Italian culture of Accounting, this paper tries to offer an overview of the 'Accounting Schools' in Italy, with particular attention to their meaning among their contexts. It presents the main ideas of the authors of the classical Lombard School, the Tuscan, the Venetian and the Palermitan one, pointing out how the two elected concepts of azienda and ragioneria changed through space and time. At the end a critical synthesis of the whole is outlined.
Mozi - anima naturaliter christiana wśród Stu Szkół Filozoficznych
2021
Mozi, żyjący w Okresie Walczących Królestw, był oryginalnym myślicielem, a moizm był jedną z najważniejszych wśród Stu Szkół Filozoficznych starożytnych Chin. Jego poglądy dotyczące uniwersalnej miłości (jidn aiH®), wiary w istnienie Boga oraz koncepcji państwa i rządów merytokracji wciąż pozostają inspirujące, pomimo iż historycznie przegrały z konfucjanizmem. W polskojęzycznej literaturze Mozi jest postacią nieznaną i domaga się badań w kilku przestrzeniach, które mają wpływ na zrozumienie jego myśli: czasów Moziego, jego osoby, jego poglądów, moizmu wśród Stu Szkół Filozoficznych, „Mozi" - jako księgi oraz późniejszego - także współczesnego - oddziaływania. Na Moziego powołują się zarówn…

Seeing reality through Einstein's eyes: a teaching proposal for special relativity
2021
The teaching of Special Relativity is still a critical issue not only for students but also for teachers. In this paper, we describe the trial of a learning unit on the Special Relativity topic based on Minkowski's approach through spacetime diagrams, following the results in pedagogical researches in this field. The main innovation of our project consists of a mechanical instrument: it allows to physically and mechanically represent Lorentz’s transformations by hands, exploring the effects of a change of the reference frame. Teachers and students can deal “by eye” with unusual phenomena as the loss of simultaneity, time dilation, length contraction, relativistic addition of velocities and …

RESEARCH-BASED REFLECTIONS ABOUT CHARACTER EDUCATION: MYTHS, CHALLENGES AND INTERNATIONAL PERSPECTIVES
2018
At present, youngsters’ character and virtue education issues are widely discussed in Latvia and in English-speaking academic environment. Given the existing criticism of these concepts, the research question was: what are the main misunderstandings about the nature of character and virtue education? After clarifying the neo-Aristotelian understanding of these concepts, recent research in the field of character education and virtues is presented for deconstructing some of the myths related to it, due to conceptual, historical, moral and political misunderstandings (Kristjánsson, 2013). Real problems (historical, methodological and practical) faced by character education programs in mainstre…
Vocabulary learning strategies employed by Finnish high school EFL students
2014
Tämän Pro gradu-tutkielman ensisijainen tarve oli lisätä opettajien ja oppilaiden tietoisuutta sanaston oppimisstrategioiden hyödyistä. Lisäksi koin, että tutkielmani toisi lisää tietoa suomalaisten lukiolaisten strategioiden käyttötottumuksista. Tutkielman toissijainen tarkoitus oli tuottaa lisää tutkimustietoa aikaisempien sanaston oppimisstrategiakyselyiden rinnalle, sillä tämänkaltaisia tutkimuksia on tehty melko vähän. Useimmissa aikaisemmissa kyselytutkimuksissa ei ole niin ikään tarkemmin tutkittu sukupuolen aikaansaamia vaikutuksia sanaston oppimisstrategioiden valintaan ja käyttöön. Tämän tutkielman tarkoituksena oli kuvata ja kartoittaa suomalaisten lukiolaisten englannin kielen s…

The Quantified Athlete: Associations of Wearables for High School Athletes
2018
The adoption of wearable technology in competitive sports can be an advantage to performance and training. Athletes who use personalised data to quantify their performances with the possibilities of sharing with others may use wearables to reinforce the athletic identity. Despite these changes, few studies have actually examined the associations between wearables and developing athletes in their quest for professional sports. Student athletes (n = 437, age = 17y) still in high schools completed a web-based survey about their professional aspirations, athletic identity, and the association with wearables. Wearables were measured by ownership and usage of apps, fitness trackers, or sports wat…
