La superación del naturalismo en Ortega y Gasset

2012

This article explains Ortega y Gasset’s criticism of naturalism and the failure of the naturalistic reason, and also shows his new conception of vital, historical and narrative reason as an alternative paradigm, which is based on the dialectic of the experiences, the creative imagination of the «fantastic animal» and a new vision of life, which comes from Nietzsche, Dilthey and Goethe, and can help to face the challenge of the new naturalism in the context of the current thought.<br><br>Este artículo expone la crítica de Ortega y Gasset al naturalismo y el fracaso de la razón naturalista, y muestra su nueva concepción de la razón vital, histórica y narrativa, como un paradigma a…

Kitchen chemistry course for chemistry education students: influences on chemistry teaching and teacher education – a multiple case study

2019

AbstractThis study introduces the Kitchen Chemistry (KC) course and its influences on chemistry education as a whole. KC is considered to be a life-relevant learning environment that engages learners in science through the pursuit of personally relevant and meaningful goals. KC, as a form of interdisciplinary learning, aims to develop boundary-crossing skills and to support the development of pupils’ scientific thinking. The purpose of this research was to determine how KC as a context-based teaching approach applies to chemistry education and what it offers to chemistry teaching and teacher education. We found that KC gave lower secondary school pupils the opportunity to understand the che…

Role of situational context in use continuance after critical exergaming incidents

2019

Use continuance is crucial in terms of information systems (IS) success. Previous research has shown that situational context can be central for IS use continuance but has paid limited attention to its specific characteristics. Furthermore, the link between situational context and use continuance has remained unexplored in the novel area of “exergames,” which are defined as digital games requiring physical effort from the player that determines the outcome of the game. Studying exergames is deemed important due to their potential in providing health benefits for users, revenues for providers, and well‐being for societies. However, their potential remains unreached because users tend to disc…

Linguistic and communication education at Polish lessons during the period of cultural change : musings on the curriculum

2020

W artykule mowa jest o wyzwaniach, jakie stawia XXI wiek przed edukacją językowo-komunikacyjną w zakresie języka polskiego jako ojczystego. Autorka wyraża przekonanie, że socjalizacja nie może wyręczać edukacji, stąd jednym z najważniejszych celów kształcenia językowego w zakresie języka ojczystego staje się zaspokojenie potrzeb językowo-komunikacyjnych uczniów, wynikających z przeobrażeń kulturowych dokonujących się we współczesnych świecie. Nowe zadania, z którymi powinien zmierzyć się nauczyciel polonista, to rozwijanie tzw. nowej kompetencji komunikacyjnej, umożliwiającej komunikowanie się w świecie zdominowanym przez media, w tym media cyfrowe, oraz przeciwdziałanie procesowi obniżania…

Donne autrici o vittime di reato? Un’indagine sull’efficacia delle misure alternative nei percorsi di recupero delle detenute nel contesto agrigentino

2015

Nel senso comune la pena detentiva e considerata un elemento inevitabile della so¬cieta contemporanea. Essa continua ad essere percepita nell’immaginario collettivo come uno strumento di segregazione per coloro che sono riconosciuti colpevoli di particolari reati. I principi classici della prontezza, proporzionalita, infallibilita e dolcezza della pena non si identificano oggi esclusivamente con un edificio – la prigione – ma, sempre piu di frequente, con strumenti alternativi e piu efficaci per il recupero e la risocializzazione del soggetto. Proprio in questi decenni in cui l’intreccio fra poverta, penalita ed esclusione sociale diviene sempre piu evidente, l’afflizione a cui il singolo e…

Emerging Joint Expertise? Multiagency Collaboration Described in Local Integration Programmes in Finland

2016

Multiagency collaboration is seen as an essential way of working to promote the two-way integration of newcomers and a receiving society. The term multiagency collaboration underlines the diversity of actors in cooperation. Cross-sectorial networks are mentioned in higher strategies as well as in the local programmes or plans for action. But how is multiagency work structured at the local level? This article looks at the examples of multiagency collaboration in the written documents of local integration programmes in the Finnish context. The examples are chosen from different areas. It seems that collaboration is widely emphasized as a goal or a working method. Whereas expertise in integrat…

Financial inclusion and exclusion across Mexican municipalities

2021

Although in recent years there has been a growth in banking services in Mexico, there is still a significant delay in terms of financial inclusion, which is also very uneven across municipalities. In this context, this paper analyses some of the factors that determine the probability of a municipality being financially included. The results show that financially included municipalities have a large number of inhabitants and high levels of income and education. The analysis also distinguishes between municipalities according to the region in which they are located and to their type of population. In general, rural and in transition municipalities are the least financially included, together …
