Il Mitologema materno nel "Rosario" di Federico De Roberto
2010
Il complesso della Grande Madre, uno degli archetipi della civiltà mediterranea, è all’origine di quel rapporto contraddittorio madre-figli che rispecchia la duplice funzione del mito: non soltanto colei che dà alla luce e rigenera, ma insieme trattiene e divora la prole. L’intrinseca ambiguità di questa figura ne giustifica la rappresentazione tragica offerta da De Roberto nel dramma "Il rosario". Al centro della pièce, pubblicata nel 1899, è una matriarca intransigente e dispotica che esercita sulle figlie un dominio incontrastato. L’esame semantico-mitico del testo svolge una duplice funzione: da una parte illuminare la complessa personalità derobertiana, che porta alla luce questa realt…

2017
Research has shown that outdoor educational interventions can lead to students' increased self-regulated motivational behavior. In this study, we searched into the satisfaction of basic psychological needs (BPN), i.e., autonomy support, the learners' experience of competence, and relatedness, both within the peer group and with their teachers, through outdoor learning.

Diverse yet similar : English teachers' conceptions of multicultural teaching and pupils of multicultural background
2010
Maahanmuuttajien määrä Suomessa on kasvanut viimeisten kahden vuosikymmenen aikana merkittävästi. Tämä on vaikuttanut myös suomalaisten koulujen väestörakenteeseen ja sitä kautta opettajien työhön. Tämän tutkielman tarkoituksena on selvittää, millaiset käsitykset yläkoulun englannin opettajilla on monikulttuurisesta opetuksesta ja maahanmuuttajaoppilaista ja miten he ovat selviytyneet opettajan arjesta monikielisessä luokkaympäristössä. Teoriataustan valossa tutkimuksessa haetaan vastauksia seuraaviin kysymyksiin: 1) Mitä englannin opettajat käsittävät termillä monikulttuurinen opetus? 2) Millaista englannin opettaminen heidän mielestään monikulttuurisessa luokkaympäristössä on? ja 3) Mitkä…
Trust and team identification at multicultural workplaces : perceptions of Finnish HR professionals
2017
Growing global mobility has rapidly diversified workplace demographics across the world. Finland that has traditionally been considered a relatively uniform nation in terms of cultural and ethnic diversity has also experienced a shift in its population in recent decades. Despite the growing multiculturalism, established diversity management practices are yet to be developed in many Finnish organizations, and the subject has not gained much academic attention either. Still, competent intercultural leaders are often vital for both successful business results and for the well-being of their multicultural teams. The aim of this thesis is to shed light on the current state of international human…
