„Papież, którego Polska dała światu”. Środowiska emigracyjne wobec wyboru kardynała Karola Wojtyły na papieża
2019
W artykule przedstawiono reakcje różnych środowisk emigracyjnych na wybór kardynała Karola Wojtyły na papieża. Analizie poddano najważniejsze tytuły prasy emigracyjnej ukazującej się Wielkiej Brytanii, która była centrum politycznym wychodźstwa oraz we Francji. Wybór Polaka na papieża środowiska emigracyjne uznały powszechnie za wydarzenie historyczne. Niektórzy porównywali je nawet do chrztu Polski. Ta sensacyjna i niespodziewana wiadomość znalazła się na pierwszych stronach prasy emigracyjnej. Niezależnie od różnic politycznych emigranci wyrażali radość i dumę z tego faktu. Wskazywano na przymioty osobiste nowego papieża, który jawił się nie tylko jako wybitny duszpasterz i wychowawca, al…
La qualità inclusiva della scuola e le competenze dell’insegnante: uno strumento di rilevazione The inclusive quality of the school and the teacher’s…
2016
Da molti anni la ricerca in campo pedagogico e didattico sta sensibilizzando i docenti sui temi dell’inclusione scolastica e delle competenze inclusive dell’insegnante. Tale riflessione per potersi trasformare in un agire educativo inclusivo e consapevole necessita di strumenti di valutazione e monitoraggio sia della comunità in cui il docente opera, sia delle competenze possedute dai docenti stessi. Il presente lavoro documenta il processo di costruzione e di validazione di uno strumento originale che permette allo stesso tempo agli insegnanti di autovalutare il proprio agire inclusivo e di rilevare la qualità inclusiva della scuola. Lo studio mostrerà, nella prospettiva di una pedagogia c…
Planning as evolution: radical pedagogy, creative methods and urban research
2022
Beyond reductionist thought, looking at a theoretical framework that embrace a complex dimension of knowledge, the urban planning discipline is going through a radical change. An attitude well expressed by a large group of intellectuals who recognize the fragility of the discipline and re-think themselves in opposition to the excess of specialization of the modern world to grasp the vital interconnection between things, the intersection spaces, on disciplinary boundaries, where concepts become images, symbols, practices, processes. In this ongoing change of paradigm, sensitive approaches and aesthetic rationalities arouse interest within urban and territorial studies. Starting from the inte…

Albanian students’ motives for preferring certain real-life situations for learning mathematics
2011
This article reports on a qualitative investigation of Albanian students’ motives for preferring certain real-life situations to be used in school mathematics, and possible connections of these motives to characteristics and issues within Albanian society. It is based on realistic interviews with students from Grades 8 and 9 in a school in the district of Shkodra in northern Albania. Interviews were conducted after students experienced five teaching units which dealt with mathematics embedded in real-life situations. Results are expressed in terms of contextmechanism-outcome configurations as proposed by critical realist theory. Most of the resultsare supported by those from a previous quan…
Assessing Benthic Macroinvertebrates in Relations to Environmental Variables and Revitalisation Works
2022
Abstract Macroinvertebrates of two ex-manor ponds located in Chroscina, Opole Region (Poland) were studied from 2015 to 2018 to investigate their community composition and diversity and evaluate the heterogeneity of communities on spatial and temporal scale referring to environmental variables and revitalisation work. A total of 32 taxa were recorded (at the family level, except Oligochaeta), 13 of which were Ephemeroptera, Odonata and Trichoptera, recognised as sensitive groups in lentic ecosystems. Macroinvertebrate richness and diversity varied considerably, especially in spring and summer. It was found that habitat heterogeneity influenced benthic invertebrates more than basic water par…
Professional mathematics teacher identity: analysis of reflective narratives from discourses and activities
2012
Published verson of an article in the journal: Journal of Mathematics Teacher Education. Also available from the publisher at: http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s10857-012-9216-1 This article focuses on the methodological use of reflective narratives from discourses and activities of an experienced primary teacher as evidence of her professional identity. The teacher’s reflective narratives emerge from her participation in a 3-year developmental and research project, Learning Communities in Mathematics, conducted at the University of Agder (UiA) in Norway. As background for our study, we firstly present the teacher in action with her sixth-grade pupils in a mathematics lesson, and then analyse sele…
Students’ Experiences of Reflective Writing as a Tool for Learning in Physiotherapy Education
2015
The purpose of this study was to examine physiotherapy students’ experiences of reflective writing. The students (n = 32) were asked to video record their practical activities at school and at workplaces, and to write reflective journals on their experiences. The research data about students’ experiences of reflective writing were collected by interviewing the students. The data were analyzed phenomenographically. The findings revealed four qualitatively different experiences of reflective writing: 1) writing as a useless task; 2) writing as a tool for deepening understanding; 3) writing as a tool for self-reflection; and 4) writing as a tool for professional development. These categories d…
