Associations Between Reading Skills, Interest in Reading, and Teaching Practices in First Grade

2017

ABSTRACTThis study examined associations between classroom-level reading fluency, comprehension, interest in reading, and teaching practices. Participants were 466 children from 21 classrooms. Reading fluency and interest were assessed at the beginning and end of Grade 1, reading comprehension at the end of Grade 1. Teaching practices were observed with the Early Childhood Classroom Observation Measure (ECCOM). Teachers were more likely to use teacher-directed methods in classrooms where children had poorer initial reading fluency. In classrooms with mostly child-centered methods, children showed better reading fluency, comprehension, and higher interest, whereas in classrooms with predomin…

The theatre today: experimentation and innovation

2013

The use of technology enables theatre to modernize its own language and appeal to a younger audience, one less entrenched in tradition. New generations accept and are open to experimentation in a technological climate, contamination and cross-fertilization between art forms. The use of English terminology is evidence of this (virtual theatre, interactive theatre, computer theatre, webcam theatre, electronic theatre, interfaced theatre, … just to cite a few of the most common terms). What seems evident is that digital multimedia both off-line and on-line has reached the stage and its practice in theatrical live performance is in continuous evolution.

Il teatro oggi: sperimentazioni e innovazioni

2012

Il testo tratta del rapporto tra innovazione tecnologica e invenzione comunicativa in teatro. La contaminazione tra arte e tecnica, tra ricerca e formazione è sempre più forte; cresce il numero degli architetti-scenografi che usano il palcoscenico come campo della sperimentazione progettuale. Si prendono in considerazione esempi innovativi sia all'interno del teatro all'italiana, che esempi in luoghi da teatralizzare.

Professional identity in relation to vocational teachers’ work : an identity-centred approach to professional development

2018

This paper reports a study on teachers’ professional identity and work in vocational education. The findings showed that vocational teachers’ work included vocational teaching within the school, developmental work, technology-enhanced work, professional duties outside the school, and educational duties within the school. Furthermore, the study revealed the harmonious and tensioned relationships between these elements of the work and teachers’ identities. Recognition of the nuanced nature of these relationships provides a perspective for promoting teachers’ professional development. From a practical perspective, there is a need to support vocational teachers’ identity work and the adoption o…

SPACE AND MATTER. A SOLID VOID FOR A WEAK MONUMENTALITY

2020

Following this essay one can say that the immaterial icon of the building perpetuated over the last three decades, characterized by a shiny and evanescent materiality, seems to reflect a deep tiredness today, featuring an increasingly rapid obsolescence of its image. As a result, there is a need for a major review of the interpretation process of the requests coming from the market and geared toward a new exegesis of the tectonic detail for a formal and material interpretation of the soundness of a financial system looking for vali-dation. This condition, while proposing a healthy come-back toward a conscious control of the tectonic dimension of the building, re-interprets, in its typologic…

A New Theoretical Approach on Teenage Cyclist-Vehicle Crash

2016

Data obtained in teenage cyclist impact against three vehicles (sedan, SUV and Pick Up), tested in previous works, are analyzed to verify the theoretical results by the coupling of momentum conservation principle and energy conservation principle. The speed of vehicle and thorax are compared with theoretical ones, obtaining an excellent agreement. Following the results found in the literature, particular emphasis is done on teenager cyclist thorax and head speeds, indicating that the cyclist speed can be theoretically until 1,41 times the impact speed, while greater values, until 2, are obtained in the simulations. A small slowing of the vehicle is found theoretically and in the simulations…

Composizione e tempo

2009

L’intersezione del concetto di tempo con quello di architettura pone le premesse per una lettura degli intervalli parziali, riferibili ad una (de)costruzione delle diverse fasi del processo compositivo, comparata con la restituzione generale, sistematica ed esaustiva, fornita con la stesura finale del progetto.

University Students’ Approaches to Making the Most of Their Study Time

2022

This article explores university students’ approaches to and positions with regard to making the most of their study time. The article discusses how various normative societal expectations around students’ use and management of time feature in their talk about how they organise their everyday lives. The research is based on thematic interviews (n = 28) that focused in detail on students’ day-to-day activities that were generated with students from two sets of generalist study fields in three regional Finnish universities. The results of a discursive analysis of students’ positionings reveal three discursive positions that represent of a variety in students’ approaches to make sense of the t…
