Staging and storing data sprint-based research results: a communication design approach
2022
Data sprints are multidisciplinary, time-limited, practice-oriented, and group activities that explore complex issues through data gathering, visualization, and analysis. Data sprints usually conclude with final presentations where participants showcase the research process they followed and the achieved results. Although this activity is now widespread in some research centers, there does not appear to be a data-sprint tailored dissemination format that can support the organization, archive, and online diffusion of results. Starting from the experience of a data sprint on Digital Methods, the paper describes the design process of a digital format which condenses and reinterprets good pract…
Ciència i literatura. Ja han acabat les guerres entre les dues cultures?
2014
Des que l’alquímia va començar a desafiar l’autoritat de l’Església, l’estatus del coneixement científic especialitzat i de l’alta cultura, sempre relatiu, ha estat molt qu?estionat. Durant segles, els escriptors, com a adalils de la cultura, han atacat les pretensions de la ciència ridiculitzant els seus practicants bé com a éssers malvats, obsessius i fins i tot alienats o bé com a ximples i ineptes inventors els experiments dels quals fallen irremissiblement. Discutirem exemples d’ambdós models en el seu context històric. A les acaballes del segle XX apareix un nou gènere, conegut com a «literatura de laboratori» (lab-lit). Els científics s’hi veuen retratats no segons els estereotips si…
La nouvelle muséologie mène t-elle au parc ?
2011
Il s'agit d'interroger les évolutions qui conduisent de la remise en cause de la muséologie classique, et de la réhabilitation de la connaissance par les sens, et non par le seul intellect ou la seule émotion, aux logiques qui valorisent le spectaculaire muséal. Cette évolution ayant pour effet de faire se rencontrer parfois les approches scénographiques des nouveaux musées et celles des parcs d'attraction.
Proksemika klasy szkolnej – ukryty wymiar edukacji
2013
W artykule dokonano przeglądu badań dotyczących znaczenia środowiska fizycznego klasy szkolnej dla przebiegu kształcenia, klimatu uczenia się i jakości wzajemnego komunikowania się. W analizach skupiono się zwłaszcza na strefach dystansu fizycznego, zatłoczeniu i zagęszczeniu, aranżacji miejsc siedzących oraz wystroju wnętrza sali lekcyjnej. Z przeglądu badań wynika, że mniejsze dystanse fizyczne między nauczycielem a uczniami sprzyjają osiąganiu wyższych wyników w nauce. Brak odpowiedniej przestrzeni fizycznej (zatłoczenie i zagęszczenie) wpływa na kłopoty z koncentracją, zmniejsza dokładność wykonywania zadań i nasila zachowania agresywne. Znawcy proksemiki klasy szkolnej podkreślają, że …
Inclusive Decision-making and Campaign: The Participation of Second Generation Migrants for Preventing Radicalization
2019
This paper deals with the analysis of the first results of Oltre project (ISF - DG Migration and Home Affairs, EU) funding for preventing the radicalization of the second-generation of migrants. The non-standard field research was intertwined with online social network profiles investigation. We present the off-line research results. Starting from the different dimensions of the risk of radicalization proposed by the kaleidoscopic overview of risk factors (Sieckelinck and Gielen 2018: 5; Ranstorp 2016), we created a topic guide for the indepth qualitative interviews collecting 42 interviews of 2G youths (18-30 years) in 7 Italian towns, interviewing also several privileged testimonies. Then…
When Social Media Influencers Go Political: An Exploratory Analysis on the Emergence of Political Topics Among Finnish Influencers
2022
Social media influencers are often understood as non-political actors who, due to the impact they exert on their followers’ purchase decisions and brand attitudes, play an important role in marketing and branding. In recent years, various influencers have addressed political issues during important political events such as elections. This political aspect of social media influencing has not received much scholarly interest thus far. In one of the first exploratory studies on the topic, we surveyed over one hundred Finnish influencers and investigated the degree to which they engaged with political topics. Our results show that political topics are commonly brought up among Finnish influence…
Who Can See My Stuff? : Online Self-Disclosure and Gender Differences on Facebook
2018
This study investigates the gendered privacy practices and concerns on Facebook, by leaning on the idea of privacy management as a form of digital labour. We analyse if young Facebook users are more concerned about the privacy against other users than against Facebook as a company or against third-party partners. We also analyse if privacy concerns and visibility rules are differentiated by gender. Using a structured online survey, we collected responses from a sample of 813 Italian university students (aged 18-34). Our results show that the respondents have just slightly more privacy concerns against other users than against Facebook, and much less against third-party partners. Unlike a ma…
Girls4STEM: Gender Diversity in STEM for a Sustainable Future
2020
Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) are key disciplines towards tackling the challenges related to the Sustainable Development Goals. However, evidence shows that women are enrolling in these disciplines in a smaller percentage than men, especially in Engineering related fields. As stated by the United Nations Women section, increasing the number of women studying and working in STEM fields is fundamental towards achieving better solutions to the global challenges, since the potential for innovation is larger. In this paper, we present the Girls4STEM project, which started in 2019 at the Escola Tè
Vers une plateforme sémantique pour l'enseignement des sciences et de la culture numérique
2016
The technologies of Semantic Web for education have several advantages: accessibility and sustainability of resources, increased clarification and organization. Here we present our project of a semantic platform, the interest of those technologies, and a human / machine communication model that helps learner, teacher and scientist to think better, reflexively, the activities of each of them. The experiments about digital culture pave the way for a quality digital training.
Post-it
2020
The history of the invention of post-it, the famous small piece of yellow paper with a re-adherable strip of glue, help us see how designing can be a way of redesigning more than a creation ex nihilo. A designer is who works on the meaning of things, focusing on the relations an artifact creates with humans and non humans. Standing in front of an object, then, the question changes: not what is design but when.
