Developing a Method for Measuring Science and Technology Oriented Creativity (STOC)
2021
Abstract The article contains the results of a research within the STIMEY (Science, Technology, Innovation, Mathematics, Engineering for the Young) project funded by the European Union’s Horizon-2020 research and innovation program (2016-2021). In the project, a hybrid learning environment (LE) was developed for both on-site and online learning suitable for the learning conditions in the COVID-19 era and beyond. The purpose of the research segment presented in this paper was to develop an instrument for assessment of the learner’s progress in creativity as one of the key targets of STIMEY. COVID-19 has shown that creativity is also needed to allow education systems the flexibility for unexp…
Oppilaiden käsityksiä englannin suullisesta kielitaidosta, sen oppimisesta ja arvioinnista
2018
This study investigated Finnish pupils’ beliefs about English oral proficiency, its learning and assessment in order to give voice to the pupils themselves as well as to better understand their views on English oral proficiency. The data consisted of nine semistructured interviews and self-evaluations and peer evaluations of nine 9th graders from three Finnish basic education schools. The study was qualitative in its nature, and the data were mainly analysed using content analysis. The results showed that the pupils understood English oral proficiency as an ability to speak and interact intelligibly in English. The most important components were seen to be pronunciation, vocabulary and gram…
Near‐IR Radiation‐Induced Attenuation of Aluminosilicate Optical Fibers
2021
The X-ray radiation-induced attenuation (RIA) growth kinetics are studied online in different single-mode aluminosilicate optical fibers in the near-IR (NIR) domain to evaluate their potential in terms of dosimetry. The optical fibers differ by Al contents, core sizes, drawing parameters, and also by a preform deposition process. The data show no dependence of the RIA on all these parameters, a positive result for the design of point or distributed radiation detectors exploiting RIA to monitor the dose. The RIA growth rate is unchanged for dose rates changing from 0.073 to 6.25 Gy(SiO2) s−1, and the RIA linearly increases with the dose up to 2 kGy(SiO2). Small but noticeable RIA changes are…
Oral competence in upper secondary school teaching : teachers and students' views
2013
Tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli selvittää lukion englannin opettajien sekä opiskelijoiden näkemyksiä suullisesta kielitaidosta niin yleisellä tasolla kuin tarkemmin englannin opetuksessa. Ääntäminen valittiin erityisen tarkastelun kohteeksi, vaikka suullisen kielitaidon todettiin koostuvan monista tärkeistä osa-alueista. Lisäksi tarkoituksena oli selvittää opiskelijoiden ja opettajien välisiä mielipide-eroja. Aineisto kerättiin haastattelemalla neljää lukion opiskelijaa sekä neljää lukion opettajaa. Haastattelut toteutettiin nauhoitettuina teemahaastatteluina, jotka litteroitiin. Aineisto analysoitiin teemoittain ja lisäksi opettajien ja opiskelijoiden vastaukset analysoitiin omissa osioissaa…

Synthesis and Holographic Properties of Alkyl 2-Cyanoacetate Acceptor Fragment Containing Push – Pull Type Organic Glasses
2015
We present synthesis, optical and holographic properties of original structure organic glasses based on compounds consisting of three fragments: of N,N-bis(2-(trityloxy)ethyl)-4-vinylaniline or N,N-bis(5,5,5-triphenylpentyl)-4-vinylaniline fragments as electron donating fragment (D), 4H-pyran-4-ylidene fragment as linker(π) and of 2-(trityloxy)ethyl 2-cyanoacetate or 5,5,5-triphenylpentyl 2-cyanoacetate as acceptor (A) fragment. These push-pull (D- π-A) type molecular compounds show good solubility in non-polar solvents (CHCl3 or CH2Cl2) and neat thin films with sufficient optical qualities have been obtained by spin-coating technique. Maxima of UV–VIS absorption in dichloromethane solution…
Inventario dei paesaggi a terrazze in Sicilia
2009
La tutela del paesaggio si pone sempre più all’attenzione della pianificazione territoriale. I pae-saggi agrari tradizionali siciliani, soprattutto quelli caratterizzati dalla presenza di terrazzamenti sono in particolare da molti anni soggetti a processi di degrado, abbandono e modificazioni. In assenza di precise informazioni relative all’incidenza ed alle caratteristiche delle aree terraz-zate e nella prospettiva di iniziative volte alla loro tutela e valorizzazione, nel 2006 con il supporto di Arpa Sicilia è stato eseguito l’inventario delle aree terrazzate in Sicilia. Dall’inventario cartografico è emersa una superficie regionale terrazzata complessiva di 69.604 ha (il 2,71 % dell’inte…

Measuring the perceived value of rural tourism: a field survey in the western Sicilian agritourism sector
2016
Rural tourism constitutes a valuable tool for the sustainable development of many rural areas. This paper examines the concept of perceived value in rural tourism. A quantitative field survey was carried out in some main Western Sicilian holiday farms (agritourisms) during the Spring 2014. A theoretical model of the tourists’ perceived value in this specific context was developed and validated, using a 22-item scale. Using Partial Least Squares Path Modelling a theoretical structural model of the multidimensional structure of the RTPV was tested, assessing intensity and direction of the causal relationships among RTPV and its dimensions. Five dimensions were identified as forming the constr…
Jaunākā skolas vecuma bērnu pašvērtēšanas prasmju pilnveide mācību stundās
2018
Bakalaura darba temats ir “Jaunākā skolas vecuma bērnu pašvērtēšanas prasmju pilnveide mācību stundās.” Darbā ietilpst ievads, 2 nodaļas, secinājumi, priekšlikumi, izmantotās literatūras un avotu saraksts, kā arī 11 pielikumi. Darbā izmantotas 26 literatūras un avotu vienības. Tajā ietverti 4 attēli. Bakalaura darba mērķis ir raksturot jaunākā skolas vecuma skolēnu pašvērtēšanas prasmju pilnveides iespējas mācību stundās. Pētījuma hipotēze: ja pedagogs mācību stundās piedāvā skolēniem veidot portfolio un veikt refleksijas, tas uzlabo skolēnu adekvātu pašnovērtējumu un tiek pilnveidota skolēnu prasme izvirzīt mērķus savai turpmākajai darbībai. Mērķa sasniegšanai tika analizētas teorētiskās a…
