An Interpretive Phenomenological Analysis of International Students’Learning Experiences in the Context of COVID-19
2021
Šī interpretatīvās fenomenoloģijas analīzes (IPA) pētījuma mērķis ir atklāt to ārvalstu studentu pieredzi, kuri COVID-19 pandēmijas laikā mācījās ārzemēs. Šis pētījums pēta, kādu jēgu ārvalstu studenti piešķir savai pieredzei un uztverei, studējot ārzemēs. Šajā pētījumā ārvalstu studenti tiek definēti kā studenti, kuri vismaz vienu semestri studē universitātē valstī, kas nav viņu mītnes valsts. Aptaujājot ārvalstu studentus, kuri studējuši trīs dažādās Eiropas universitātēs, autore apraksta starptautiskās studentu pieredzes fenomenu globālās krīzes laikā. Šī pētījuma rezultāti atklāj gan pozitīvos, gan negatīvos starptautiskās studentu pieredzes aspektus, kuru mērķis ir sniegt svarīgu ieska…
Burn-out syndrome in medical students at the University of Latvia and its association with suicidality, a comparison pre/-during the COVID-19 pandemi…

Nosaukuns: Latvijas Universitātes medicīnas studentu izdegšanas sindroms un tā saistība ar pašnāvību, salīdzinājums pirms/COVID-19 pandēmijas – interneta aptaujas rezultāti. Authore: Sipal Rashid Darba vadītāja: Andis Uzans Priekšvēsture: Izdegšana ir atzīta par kaitīgu ilgstoša fiziska, garīga un emocionāla izsīkuma stāvokli, ko izraisa ilgstoša iesaistīšanās garīgi prasīgās situācijās. Taču, tāpat kā ar daudziem psiholoģiskiem stāvokļiem, izraisošās situācijas dažādiem cilvēkiem atšķiras. Lai gan precīzs ārējā stresa slieksnis, kas izraisa izdegšanas sindromu, katram pacientam atšķiras, jo to ietekmē gan ārējie, gan iekšējie aizsargfaktori, ir pierādīts, ka stāvoklis ir saistīts ar domām …
Towards breaking the Gender Gap in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics
2020
The gender gap in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) has drawn the attention of research and academic communities due to its impact in the Digital Society, targeting the fourth and fifth 2030 sustainable development goals of achieving quality education and gender equality. Recent studies show that women are enrolling STEM studies in smaller proportion than men and that they have a larger probability to renounce to their jobs or to take leaves. In this scenario, the involvement of educational institutions is seminal to change this trend. The School of Engineering of the University of Valencia (ETSE-UV), Spain, launched in 2011 a pilot program to promote STEM careers, foc…
A Win-Win Scheme for Improving the Environmental Sustainability of University Commuters’ Mobility and Getting Environmental Credits
2022
European Union Member States are called upon to meet internationally proposed environmental goals. This study is based, in particular, on the recommendation of the European Union (EU), which encourages Member States to pursue effective policies to reduce greenhouse gas (GHGs) emissions, including through appropriate changes in the behavioral habits of citizens. In this respect, among the main sectors involved, transport and mobility should certainly be mentioned. National institutions should be adequately involved in order to achieve the objectives set; in this regard, universities must certainly be considered for their educational value. These latter, for instance, could commit to improvin…

Exploration of new post-secondary mathematics teachers' experiences: preliminary results of a narrative inquiry
2018
International audience; This paper reports on a pilot study that has taken place during the winter semester of 2017, for a larger project whose goal is to understand the process of becoming a mathematics teacher at post-secondary level. With very few information from the literature on this process at this specific level, this pilot study acts as an exploration of the issues and reality the new teachers face. To do so, we conducted a narrative inquiry with three new post-secondary mathematics teachers who were interviewed on a regular basis during a semester. Those interviews provided an insight into the new teachers' experiences by pointing out themes that are relevant to them. We also came…
Tasks for enriching the understanding of the concept of linear span
2018
International audience; The concept of linear span is one of the first abstract notions that students encounter in a course on Linear Algebra. Using the theoretical construct of concept image and concept definition (Tall & Vinner, 1981) along with observations about teaching and learning Linear Algebra, we present two tasks designed to enrich students' concept image regarding linear span. These tasks could be included in a problem workshop of an introductory university course on Linear Algebra. Each task is carefully created and/or selected so as to foster the ground for potential conflict factors to arise and be confronted. A preliminary evaluation shows that the tasks are well received by…
Seminar groups as part of first-semester mathematics teaching: What did the students learn?
2018
International audience; In this study, the learning encouraged by teaching activities in a small-group setting was investigated through the analysis of students' responses to survey and interview questions. The results indicate that the students perceived an increased ability to communicate mathematics in written form, but to a lesser extent developed their ability to discuss mathematics and build conceptual understanding.
La stereotomia nella cattedra di Architettura statica di Carlo Giachery
2014
La scuola di architettura di Palermo, sin dalla sua fondazione nel 1779, con la creazione della cattedra di Architettura civile affidata a Giuseppe Venanzio Marvuglia, era divenuta inevitabilmente il luogo di verifica e talvolta di esplorazione dei temi legati alla pratica professionale e, quindi, all’arte del costruire. Giachery, Professore di Architettura statica e civile dal 1837 al 1865, è il primo ad avvertire, da docente, la crisi profonda del sistema didattico della scuola di architettura di Palermo isterilita dalla ricerca di astratte idealità neoclassiche e straniatasi dal processo evolutivo della cultura architettonica europea dopo la morte dei “maestri” Marviglia e Gentile. Secon…
