The role of collegiality in the professional development of the teaching career: a proposal for an evaluation instrumentBakieva
2019
El estudio trata sobre una propuesta de valoración de la colegialidad docente a lo largo de la trayectoria profesional docente. La dimensión colegial se encuadra en el marco de evaluación para la mejora de la cohesión social (Jornet, 2012). La trayectoria profesional docente necesita del apoyo y soporte por parte de los compañeros de un centro de trabajo, sobre todo en las fases iniciales de desarrollo de la carrera. Por lo que hemos realizado un estudio sobre cómo varía el nivel de colegialidad entre los docentes más veteranos y más noveles, de acuerdo con las clasificaciones de Huberman, Thomson y Wiland (1997) y Unruh y Turner (1970). La metodología de análisis se basa en el contraste no…

This allows academic advisers to provide evidence-based information on the study paths that have actually happened similarly to individual students. Moreover, academic institutions can focus on management and upda…
An Examination of the Structure of the Career Decision Self-Efficacy Scale (Short Form) Among Italian High School Students
2013
This study aims to evaluate the factor structure of Career Decision Self-Efficacy scale-short form in a sample of Italian high school adolescents. confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was used to test the degree to which a one-factor structure and a five-factor structure provided the best fit. In view of available research the five-factor structure was expected to provide the best fit. Moreover, factorial invariance in males and females was tested. It was expected to be invariant across groups. As expected the five-factor structure showed a better fit than the one-factor model and the factorial invariance resulted invariant across boys and girls.
Anxiety and self-esteem as mediators of the relation between family communication and indecisiveness in adolescence
2013
Abstract In this study, we explored the unique and common contributions of anxiety, self-esteem, and family communication on indecisiveness among adolescents. Three hundred and fifty pupils from 13 to 16 years of age completed selfreport measures on indecisiveness, quality of family communication, trait anxiety, and self-esteem. The findings in this study showed that students’ indecisiveness is predicted by family communication mediated by anxiety and self-esteem. These results have important implications for practice as it stresses the importance of anxiety and self-esteem. Nevertheless, the counselors could also focus on enhancing relationship-building skills by introducing the adolescent…

It tells the story of a young girl determined to choose a male dominated occupation, and challenges young people to consider their career choice. The purpose of this study is to analyse the vocational representations of girls and boys, and to look at the pupils' visions of the world of work, in or…
Employability Appraisal Scale (EAS): Development and Validation in a Spanish Sample
2018
Employability is an important issue in the labor context. Currently, the European Union presents employability as the path to full employment and active citizenship, and a strategy to reduce unemployment and poverty. This study develops and validates an Employability Appraisal Scale. Specifically, we propose a multidimensional employability scale that analyzes both individual indicators and personal circumstances from the Bioecological Model of Employability. The Employability Appraisal Scale (EAS) assesses personal and social dimensions of employability. It was developed and tested using data from 489 people from a very heterogeneous sample (precarious workers, professionals, prisoners, lo…

Gender differences in career advancements in Italian universities over the last 20 years
2023
This article deals with gender differences in Italian universities in the last 20 years in terms of career advancements. Data are taken from the MUR (Ministry of University and Research) archive. In Italy, career advancements are still much easier for men, even if the gender gap has slowly narrowed in the last decades. The novelty of this paper is the analysis through event-history analysis models on the time elapsed to receive a promotion (from assistant to associate professor and from associate to full professor). The event-history analysis applied to career advancements has revealed that women take, on average, about one and a half more years than men to advance, with some differences am…

2020
Geographic mobility has become an essential part of athletes’ career development and athletic migration is rapidly increasing.

In summary, results indicate that cultural adaptation challenges were perceived as slightly difficult. However, female athletes reported more difficulties than male athletes in the sport domain, whereas male and team sport athletes reported more challenges in the non-sport dom…
