Trust: the basis of the collaborative interaction
2005
This contribution focuses on the role of trust in developing collaborative learning. Both in face-to-face and online environments, four types of learning interactions are required: interaction with resources, with teachers, with peers and with an interface. Collaborative interaction, and therefore collaborative learning, requires people to trust one another. Several factors, such as shared social norms, repeated interactions and shared experiences, have been suggested to facilitate the development of interpersonal trust; as far as temporary teams are concerned, the concept of "swift trust" has been proposed. It is suggested that collaborative online interactions - compared to face-to-face o…
Community Land Trust e beni comuni. Le implicazioni della dimensione comunitaria e i risvolti applicativi in Italia
2019
Il presente lavoro mira ad inquadrare la fattispecie del community land trust (CLT) da un punto di vista teorico-concettuale, nonché a calarlo nella realtà italiana tracciandone i risvolti applicativi. Una volta illustrato lo schema di funzionamento del CLT e le implicazioni in termini di responsabilità e governance dovute alla valorizzazione del momento dell’aggregazione comunitaria, il presente lavoro si prefigge di passare in rassegna le soluzioni di CLT proposte su iniziativa privata al fine di rigenerare spazi pubblici inutilizzati facenti capo al comune di Chieri, unico comune in Italia ad avere espressamente disciplinato il suddetto istituto in seno al proprio Regolamento dei beni co…
Independent regulation in the contemporary Italian legal system
2018
According to some comparative studies, contemporary nation states exhibit an apparently impetuous worldwide general convergence toward the establishment of independent regulatory authorities (IRAs) with regard to a wide range of policy sectors (§ 2). In the Italian political system of the so-called First Republic (1948-93), the widespread attitude towards independent regulation used to be unfavourable. IRAs were affected by several obstructing factors which postponed or hindered their creation and undermined the institutionalization and the performance of the few existing ones (§ 3). In recent years some new IRAs were introduced, and some of the existing ones (which in the past had undergon…
Zaangażowanie muzeum w proces komunikowania o zmianie klimatu
2019
In this paper I addressed the issue of the engagement of museums in climate change. The problem of climate change is so important in the current social context that, despite its difficult political connotations, it cannot be ignored by museums, especially if we consider a museum as an element of a public sphere. Climate change is a challenge in 21st century. Climate change will present challenges that are of long-term nature, multidimensional and global phenomenon. It could impact directly on museums. I assume museums can provide a safe place for dialogue around climate change. Museums can also inform publics about the science of climate change and help to equip people with knowledge, shape…
Muzeum jako instytucja odpowiedzialna społecznie. Rola muzeum w debacie na temat zmian klimatycznych
2019
W artykule analizuję możliwości zaangażowania muzeum w problem zmian klimatycznych. Zagadnienie to jest na tyle istotną kwestią w dzisiejszym dyskursie społecznym, że pomimo jego trudnych konotacji politycznych nie może być pomijane przez muzea, szczególnie jeśli rozpatrujemy je jako instytucje sfery publicznej. Zmiana klimatu to jedno z największych wyzwań, z jakim musimy się zmierzyć w XXI w. Następstwa zmian klimatycznych są długotrwałe, wielowymiarowe i mają charakter globalny – będą miały również bezpośredni wpływ na przyszłą działalność muzeum. Muzeum – jako instytucja publiczna – nieustannie dostosowuje swoją ofertę do zmieniających się okoliczności społecznych. Zaangażowanie muzeum …
Predictors of credibility of online media in the spanish polarized media system
2019
Credibility of online news media is facing important challenges: the levelling effect of the digital environment, the changing habits of consumption, polarization of discourses… This scenario makes it relevant to address what features of news brands and news content shape the credibility of contemporary journalism. This article tests a set of items, including journalistic standards, reputation and citizen participation, in order to build predictors involved in credibility judgments. The authors carried on a quantitative survey (n=416), representative of the Spanish online population. Results identified currency of information, inclusion of analysis and context, citation of sources and inclu…
Keep Calm in Heated Debates: How People Perceive Different Styles of Discourse in a Scientific Debate
2021
Scientific debates are, in an epistemological sense, argumentative approaches aimed at coming to the most appropriate conclusion. However, as these debates sometimes involve interpersonal rather than content-driven attacks (e.g., an argument between scientific experts might involve personal dislike), the following question arises: How do such communication behaviors affect people’s perception of the argument? In an empirical study, we presented prospective teachers (N = 222) with a newspaper article about two scientific experts controversially discussing the pros and cons of a fictional vocabulary training program. Using a 1 × 2 between-subject design, the article contained either a neutral…
Social media as the pulse of national security threats : A framework for studying how social media influences young people's safety and security situ…
2019
Social media is becoming more and more of a security threat. Dissatisfaction with the content and quality of the information flow is increasing not only at the nation-state level, but also at the level of people's everyday lives. Social media is one of the key channels for distributing disinformation and it has become a key instrument for influencing political activity in particular. It is difficult to single out individual contributors or culprits when it comes to the dissemination of disinformation due to the rhizomatic nature of the internet and the Western approach to using social media. The same principles such as ease of access to the network, democracy, freedom of speech, and knowled…
Assessment of Organizational Trust: Preliminary Data for Romanian Adaptation of the Organizational Trust Inventory Short Form
2013
Abstract In the last years, trust became an important variable in regard to the well-being of organizations. In Romania, it was included in studies as a variable but there are few instruments that measure organizational trust. Therefore I identify a necessity for developing instruments useful in assessing and promoting any organizational adjustments. This paper presents the preliminary data obtained in the process of adaptation of OTI for the Romanian population. In doing so, we followed the guidelines of ITC. Using a sample of 108 employees the psychometric results show that OTI-RO has a high level of internal consistency reliability (a = 0.94) and it can be used exclusive for equivalent p…
