Conceptualizing nature-based science tourism: a case study of Seili Island, Finland
2021
Nature-based tourism has been widely addressed, yet research on nature-based science tourism, founded on science, scientific knowledge, and/or engagement in scientific research, is still scarce. Drawing on tourist motivation, nature-based tourism, special interest tourism, and science tourism, a novel theoretical conceptualization of nature-based science tourism was developed. The framework identified three categories of science tourism with intensifying levels of tourists’ interest in scientific knowledge and tourist engagement: tourism based on scientific knowledge, tourism with scientific adventure or volunteering, and scientific research tourism. In the empirical part, the framework was…
Digitaalisen oppimispelin motivoivuus : havaintoja Ekapeliä pelanneista lapsista

Digitaalisiin peleihin perustuva oppiminen luokkahuoneessa
2016
Maailman muuttuessa digitaalisemmaksi koulu ja sen käyttämät menetelmät ovat muuttumassa. Yksi uusi menetelmä voisi olla digitaalisiin peleihin perustuva oppiminen (DGBL). Tässä tutkielmassa käydään läpi, mikä tämä uusi oppimisen muoto on, ja mitä hyötyjä tai haittoja siihen liittyy. Lisäksi selvitetään erilaisia tapoja, miten pelejä on jo käytetty erilaisissa tutkimuksissa. Tutkielmassa tulee esille, että DGBL:ssä on monenlaisia ongelmia, kuten oppilaiden tottumattomuus tietoteknisiin välineisiin ja peleihin. Eduiksi havaitaan muun muassa pelien luontainen motivaation kasvatus sekä pelien tutkimista ja ongelmanratkaisua kannustavat menetelmät. Esimerkeissä huomataan, että pelejä voidaan kä…
Lo sviluppo dell’intelligenza linguistica e della competenza comunicativa degli studenti universitari. Un esperimento Brain-Based in Dad
2021
Il contributo presenta l’utilizzo di un approccio di tipo Brainbased allo sviluppo dell’intelligenza linguistica e della correlata competenza linguistico-comunicativa, che ha permesso la sperimentazione di una batteria di attività di Brain Gym (Dennison & Dennison, 2008) nel contesto didattico universitario durante il periodo di Didattica a Distanza (DAD) imposta dalla pandemia da Covid-19. La DAD ha comportato una drastica limitazione di alcuni elementi considerati fondanti per lo sviluppo delle competenze linguistiche, espressive e comunicative quali la corporeità, il controllo visuo-acustico, i tempi d’attenzione, la gestualità, il contatto. Nella sua fase iniziale, la ricerca condot…
Elucidating geological and biological processes underlying the diversification of Sulawesi tarsiers.
2009
Because of their exceptionally long independent evolution, a range diminution of their Eocene relatives, and a remarkable subsequent diversification in Southeast Asia, tarsiers are of particular importance to evolutionary primatologists. Little is known, however, on the processes shaping the radiation of these small enigmatic primates—especially on the Indonesian island of Sulawesi, their center of endemism. Geological reconstructions and progress in applying DNA sequence information to divergence dating now provide us with the tools and background to comprehend tarsier dispersal. Here, we describe effects of plate-tectonic movements, Pleistocene sea level changes, and hybridization on the…
Towards a comprehensive understanding of new regional industrial path development
2019
Path creation is a key concept in economic geography. So far, particularly scholars within evolutionary economic geography have pioneered research on this topic. This paper critically discusses the...
Multilevel Latent Profile Analysis With Covariates : Identifying Job Characteristics Profiles in Hierarchical Data as an Example
2018
Latent profile analysis (LPA) is a person-centered method commonly used in organizational research to identify homogeneous subpopulations of employees within a heterogeneous population. However, in the case of nested data structures, such as employees nested in work departments, multilevel techniques are needed. Multilevel LPA (MLPA) enables adequate modeling of subpopulations in hierarchical data sets. MLPA enables investigation of variability in the proportions of Level 1 profiles across Level 2 units, and of Level 2 latent classes based on the proportions of Level 1 latent profiles and Level 1 ratings, and the extent to which covariates drawn from the different hierarchical levels of th…
The competency-based approach in developing countries
2013
For decades, all analyzes converge on the idea of the relative inefficiency of education systems in sub-Saharan Africa. Dropout, repetition, overstaffing, low quality of learning student failure and obsolescence of facilities, teaching materials and teachers, including sometimes the levels and quality of education remain somewhat uncertain, inadequate educational programs. In short, these are some of the ills that plague these systems and confirm the findings made by many reports.Given this weakness finding, educational authorities, supported by international aid mobilized in many countries to improve their systems to qualitatively, but also quantitatively equity because we must not forget …
Design and implementation of the AMIGA embedded system for data acquisition
2021
The successful installation, commissioning, and operation of the Pierre Auger Observatory would not have been possible without the strong commitment and effort from the technical and admin-istrative staff in Malargtie. We are very grateful to the following agencies and organizations for financial support: Comision Nacional de Energla Atomica, Agencia Nacional de Promocion Cientffica y Tec-nologica (ANPCyT) , Consejo Nacional de Investigaciones Cientfficas y Tecnicas (CONICET) , Gobierno de la Provincia de Mendoza, Municipalidad de Malargtie, NDM Holdings and Valle Las Leilas, in gratitude for their continuing cooperation over land access, Argentina; the Australian Research Council; Conselho…
