Student teams’ development over time: tracing the relationship between the quality of communication and teams’ performance

2016

Current discussions in higher education and alumni training acknowledge the challenges training programs face in responding to the authentic needs of the labor market. In addition to academic knowledge, higher education institutions are expected to provide general twenty-first-century skills, such as problem-solving, critical thinking, collaboration, and interpersonal skills. To meet these challenges, many institutions utilize collaborative pedagogies such as learning in teams. However, teamwork in higher education tends to focus primarily on the task aspects of performance at the expense of the team aspects, and for educators, there may be no feasible way to assess whether the students are…

Narrativas nacionais e competência histórica na formação inicial de professores primários espanhóis

2017

Neste trabalho, foram analisadas as competências de pensamento histórico e a presença de características de narrativa nacional entre 283 estudantes espanhóis do Grau de Licenciatura em Ensino Primário de Murcia e de Valência. Examinaram-se os seus relatos históricos sobre a expansão cristã na Península Ibérica em território muçulmano durante a Idade Média. Utilizaram-se métodos qualitativos para identificar os níveis de complexidade da exposição a partir de conhecimentos substantivos e conceitos metodológicos, e uma avaliação quantitativa para relacionar esses níveis de complexidade com os níveis cognitivos e narrativos, através da taxonomia SOLO. Também se avaliou em que medida se represen…

From causal thinking to wisdom and spirituality: some perspectives on a growing research field in adult (cognitive) development

2015

This article concentrates on the latest international trends in the research on psychological development of adults, and especially on the development of cognition. The field of research has been very fragmented, and researchers have kept creating new models one after another to describe their own lines of thought and also seeking for empirical evidence for their models. This has created a rather equivocal picture of the phenomenon itself. The present article attempts to identify the historical roots of the field, and introduces descriptive factors that could conceptually determine the gist of the phenomenon. In this context we will discuss, mainly, research going back to Piaget and Perry, …

Dual-process Accounts of Reasoning in User's Information System Risky Behavior

2016

End user of information system (IS) is the weakest point in terms of IS security. A variety of approaches are developed to convince end users to avoid IS risky behaviors. However, they do not always work. We would like to argue that one of the reasons is that previous studies focused on System 2 thinking (analytic, deliberate, rule-governed and effortful process) and overlooked the factors that can influence people who are using System 1 thinking (automatic, effortless, associative and intuitive process). In this study, we propose a model that integrates influential factors for both modes of thinking together. Moderators of such relationships will be discussed as well. A laboratory experime…

Systemic Approaches for Business Innovation and Sustainability. Editorial Note to the Special Section for the 2nd BS Lab Symposium-Rome 2014

2014

Our times are characterized by intense transformations in the competitive logics of markets and, broadly speaking, of business systems. Business scenarios today are typified by dynamism, connectivity, nonlinearity, and emergent properties—i n other words by ‘complexity’ (Dominici,2012). The systemic approach has been pivotal to open new lenses and understandings of the inner dynamics of complex systems. In recent times, we have witnessed a paradigm shift in the managerial approach from the whole/part model to the systemice nvironmental approach. This shift generated the epistemological frame of the systemic approach to social sciences in the fields of sociology, management and economics (Pita…

Cheap Talk with Two Audiences: An Experiment

2017

In this paper we experimentally test strategic information transmission between one informed and two uninformed agents in a cheap-talk game. We find evidence of the “disciplining” effect of public communication as compared to private; however, it is much weaker than predicted by the theory. Adding a second receiver naturally increases the complexity of strategic thinking when communication is public. Using the level-k model, we exploit the within subject design to show how individuals decrease their level-k in public communication. Surprisingly, we find that individuals become more sophisticated when they communicate privately with two receivers rather than one.

Experiencias de aprendizaje del Derecho del Trabajo a través del cine

2020

[ES] Este artículo analiza la experiencia realizada durante tres años con objeto de complementar la enseñanza del Derecho del trabajo con el uso del cine como material bibiográfico y sus resultados. En la experiencia se propuso una película por cada tema del programa académico de la asignatura de Derecho del trabajo (I) y también de la asignatura Políticas sociolaborales, ocupación e igualdad. Los resultados han sido positivos siendo el material cinemátográfico una ayuda significativa a la comprensión de conceptos complejos y su retención en el tiempo.

La experiencia docente del Observatorio de derechos humanos en la formación de juristas comprometidos

2021

[EN] The Human Rights Observatory is a pilot experience based on the teaching-learning methodology that allows, in an open, dynamic and participatory way. It monitors international current affairs and opens up a space for discussion and debate in the classroom on all those phenomena that, to a greater or lesser extent, condition International Law in the contemporary world. For this purpose, the Observatory will raise questions about issues of interest, highly topical subjects, complex problems, controversial processes and, above all, new approaches that encourage, not only through autonomous work but also through critical reflection, to deepen and complement the theoretical content of the d…

Majority and minority influence in inductive reasoning: A preliminary study

1991

Ninety-three students were exposed to majority and minority influence in an inductive reasoning task. The former induced convergent thinking processes, though its effects were not reducible to mere compliance. The latter activated more divergent constructive processes, supporting the predictions of Conversion Theory.
