L’evoluzione della didattica generale dalla storia all’attualità

2015

La costruzione sistematica del sapere didattico è stata possibile quando i risultati delle scienze-fonti della didattica sono stati rielaborati dal punto di vista di chi studia il processo di insegnamento-apprendimento, per la formulazione di ipotesi articolate che sono state sottoposte a verifica mediante l’esperimento oppure con l’osservazione sistematica, secondo le due grandi tradizioni della ricerca quantitativa e qualitativa. Tre sono i periodi essenziali in cui si può suddividere la recente storia della ricerca didattica in Italia: il periodo pioneristico (1954-1974), quello del pieno riconoscimento accademico (1974-1994) e quello della maturità scientifica (1994-2014). The systemati…

Seeing reality through Einstein's eyes: a teaching proposal for special relativity

2021

The teaching of Special Relativity is still a critical issue not only for students but also for teachers. In this paper, we describe the trial of a learning unit on the Special Relativity topic based on Minkowski's approach through spacetime diagrams, following the results in pedagogical researches in this field. The main innovation of our project consists of a mechanical instrument: it allows to physically and mechanically represent Lorentz’s transformations by hands, exploring the effects of a change of the reference frame. Teachers and students can deal “by eye” with unusual phenomena as the loss of simultaneity, time dilation, length contraction, relativistic addition of velocities and …

How to blend language and ICT in the didactics of scientific translation.

2016

Este trabajo propone una aproximación desde la lingüística aplicada junto con la traducción ayudada por ordenador a la traducción de la ciencia y la tecnología. A partir de ahí hace una propuesta didáctica. New information and communication technologies (ICT) have burst into all spheres of our lives, modifying them in ways inconceivable barely 10 years ago. Generally speaking, these modifications have enhanced interaction processes (telecommunications), work and human production (task automation). The field of professional translation has been particularly affected by this technological revolution and has led to new research, professional and didactic paradigms, known as Automatic Translati…

Is quality education a livelihood strategy? : the relevance of secondary school education in Kisoro district, southwestern Uganda

2011

Master thesis in development management- University of Agder 2011 This research addresses the secondary school education‘s impact on people‘s livelihood strategies in Kisoro district, south-western Uganda. Currently, approximately 80 percent of households in the district use agricultural livelihood strategies to produce food and generate income. Most parents want their children to attend secondary school. Historic events have impacted Ugandans‘ attitudes towards the rural lifestyle and livelihood strategies. Furthermore, past events resulted into a school system dominated by academic subjects and teacher-centeredness encouraging cramming of information rather than independent and critical t…

Proyecto Quick Natura. Tecnologías móviles aplicadas a rutas botánicas urbanas

2017

[EN] The Quick Natura project aims to approach people of the city of Valencia to the green areas around them,in a fast and pleasant way. The initiative is based on the use of new technologies to connect the physicalwith the virtual world by placing QR codes (Quick Response code) on di erent plant species, located mainlyin gardens and parks to display information about each labelled species. Any user can scan the QR codelocated in labelled plants by using a smartphone or other mobile devices, enabling almost immediate accessto an information layer displayed in an enjoyable way, without using very technical language, facilitatinga quick understanding and assimilation by users. The method allo…

Developing further support for in-service teachers’ implementation of a reasoning-and-proving activity and their identification of students’ level of…

2020

This is the third in a series of papers focusing reasoning-and-proving. Participants were in-service teachers enrolled in a continuing university education programme in teaching mathematics for grades 5–10. Data were collected from a course assignment in 2018 and 2019, where the in-service teachers reported about their students’ work with a reasoning-and-proving task. Their reports included an identification of the levels the students’ written argumentation reached, based on Balacheff’s taxonomy of proofs. The course assignment’s instructions were expanded for the 2019-cohort. Comparing in-service teachers’ proof level identifications to the researchers’ by statistical analyses, indicated a…
