Project-Based Learning: A Case for Situated Translation
2006
The author proposes replacing the folk theoretical ‘conduit’ view of learning that still predominates in Translator Education with a principled understanding of cognitive and learning processes for the design of learning events in Translator Education. A collaborative, project-based educational experience is presented by way of illustration. In conclusion, an argument is made for studying collaborative learning events to gain insight into the multi-facetted nature of the learning process as well as of the translation process itself.
When Investment in Basic Skills Gives Negative Returns
2017
In recent years, the Norwegian government has invested heavily in improving basic skills in the adult population. Initiatives have included legislation, the introduction of work-based adult education programs, and reforms in schooling. In light of this investment, we explore trends in adult literacy and numeracy, by comparing data from two international surveys of adult skills, conducted in 2003 and 2012. Paradoxically, the proportion of low-performing adults appears to have increased, most significantly in the 16- to 24-year age group and in the foreign-born population. The profile of the lowest performing group has changed in the intervening years. These findings suggest that adult educa…
On the transcendental undercurrents of phenomenology: the case of the living body
2021
AbstractToday the phenomenological concept of the lived body figures centrally in several philosophical and special scientific debates. In these wide and widening fields, the concept is used with multiple different meanings. In order to clarify and delineate the debates, this paper provides an explication of the phenomenological-transcendental methods. It argues that these methods help us remove the most fundamental ambiguities of the concept of embodiment by distinguishing between the main constituents of the lived body and by illuminating their mutual relations.
Is personality related to permanent earnings? Evidence using a twin design
2018
Using twin survey combined with register-based panel data on labor market outcomes, the authors examine the association between personality characteristics and long-term earnings among prime working-age individuals. The long-term earnings were measured over the 1990–2008 period. The sample contains 4,642 twin pairs, of which 53% are females. In contrast to previous studies, this paper uses the within-twin dimension of the data to control for shared family background and confounding genetic factors. The results suggest that unobserved genetic differences may introduce omitted variable bias in standard ordinary least square results. After controlling for shared environment and genetic backgro…
Teacher emotional support in relation to social competence in preschool classrooms
2020
The present study aimed to investigate the associations between teachers’ observed emotional support and social competence among Finnish pre-schoolers (6-year-olds). The quality of emotional support was observed using the Classroom Assessment Scoring System Pre-K in 47 preschool classrooms twice across the preschool year. Teachers rated children’s social competence in autumn and again in spring, using the Multisource Assessment of Social Competence Scale (MASCS), which produced sum scores for cooperating skills, empathy, impulsivity, and disruptiveness. Consistent with the transactional model, we specified reciprocal (auto-regressive and cross-lagged) relationships within a Multilevel Struc…
Éléments pour une typologie des séquences de texte technique
1992
Rapport de contrat; Nous nous intéressons ici à l'activité de lecture dans un cadre particulier. Cette activité est essentiellement cognitive. Nous tentons d'appréhender le phénomène de la mise en relief tant au moment de la production de texte qu'à celui de la représentation que le lecteur se construit de ce qui est dit par le texte. Dans le cadre de ce compte rendu nous nous limiterons volontairement à l'aspect typologie textuelle le versant expérimental de notre recherche sera abordé ultérieurement dès lors que les bases de notre travail seront bien établies.
Méthodologie d'analyse textuelle
1993
Rapport Téléco programme Telepresence Rapport 2; Il s'agit ici d'affiner et de transférer une méthodologie d'analyse textuelle pour recommander des conceptions de supports de données textuelles adaptées à l'usage. Cette ligne de recherche vise donc plus à conforter méthodologiquement les différents aspects du projet Téléco 3 et à enrichir des outils de génération de texte transférables sur d'autres supports. Il s'agit donc d'une recherche à visée fondamentale.
Conception multimédia des supports et structuration textuelle : application à différents corpus textuels
1998
Rapport de contrat CNET Étude socio-cognitive des usages du multimédia; La conjecture est faite que la structuration d'un texte technique fondée sur les valeurs illocutoires des unités textuelles pourrait favoriser son traitement. Cette recherche analyse la distinction du second plan par rapport au premier plan (valeur de «moindre importance»). Dans le cadre de cette distinction, une typologie des unités textuels de textes techniques est proposée et sa réalité psychologique évaluée expérimentalement. On montre que le repérage des valeurs illocutoires des unités textuelles sur la seule base du langage est difficile. Deux expériences étudient alors, sur papier et sur écran, l'effet du marquag…
On the dynamics of disobedience: experimental investigations of defying unjust authority.
2017
Across six Experimental conditions with university student participants (N=600), we examined some of the dynamics underlying expressed defiance to unjust authority. Results revealed disobedience was best enacted by participants low in right-wing authoritarianism and was more likely to occur when: 1) in physical proximity of other rebels, 2) the authority made two demanding requests instead of one, and 3) there had been an earlier opposition to injustice. Results are discussed within the theoretical framework of bounded rationality.
Reciprocal relations between autonomous motivation from self-determination theory and social cognition constructs from the theory of planned behavior…
2020
Objectives The present study examined reciprocal relations between autonomous motivation from self-determination theory (SDT) and constructs from the theory of planned behavior (TPB) in a sport injury context. Methods The study adopted a three-wave longitudinal cross-lagged panel design. Physical education students in China (N = 4414; Mage = 14.42, SD = 1.75) completed self-report measures of autonomous motivation, attitude, subjective norm, and perceived behavioral control with respect to sport injury prevention at baseline (T1) and at two follow-up occasions one (T2) and three (T3) months later. Proposed reciprocal relations between autonomous motivation and the TPB constructs controlling…
