Minimal learning machine in hyperspectral imaging classification
2020
A hyperspectral (HS) image is typically a stack of frames, where each frame represents the intensity of a different wavelength of light. Each spatial pixel has a spectrum. In the classification of the HS image, each spectrum is classified pixel-by-pixel. In some of the real-time applications, the amount of the HS image data causes performance challenges. Those issues relate to the platforms (e.g. drones) payload restrictions, the issues of the available energy and to the complexity of the machine learning models. In this study, we introduce the minimal learning machine (MLM) as a computationally cheap training and classification machine learning method for the hyperspectral imaging classificatio…
Training Language Mediators and Interpreters through Embodied Cognition, Immersive Learning and Virtual Reality: Didactic, Organizational and Cost Be…
2022
The use of Virtual Reality (VR) for training purposes has expanded exponentially in the last decade. This paper specifically examines the use of VR in the training of language mediators and interpreters. By way of exemplification, the paper describes a training project at the University of Palermo, the “Coopera” project. The physically-cognitively immersive ‘learning by doing’ factor that characterizes a VR educational experience is particularly well-suited to skill- based activities. The paper explains how the immersive nature of VR and the notion of ‘embodied cognition’ is particularly suited to mediator/interpreter training by plausibly reproducing daily life situations and providing a ‘…
Pratiche di Didattica della Lingua latina e DAD nel periodo di emergenza Covid-19
2021
La didattica a distanza nel periodo di emergenza COVID-19 ha rappresentato una novità senza precedenti cui docenti e studenti non erano certamente preparati. La ricerca presentata ha consentito di raccogliere informazioni sulle strategie organizzative e didattiche attivate, sulle criticità e sulla valutazione dell'efficacia didattica degli interventi effettuati nell’ambito dell’insegnamento del latino. La scommessa della ricerca è trarre da un’esperienza difficile come quella che stiamo vivendo elementi che ci aiutino a ripensare la didattica ed in particolar modo l’insegnamento del latino anche nella fase post emergenziale. I dieci docenti siciliani e piemontesi coinvolti nel progetto di r…
La Self-Efficacy del Docente Universitario in Situazione di Emergenza Covid-19
2021
Le convinzioni che i docenti universitari possiedono sulla propria Self-Efficacy influenzano non solo il loro modo di lavorare, ma soprattutto gli esiti di apprendimento e il senso di autoefficacia dei loro studenti. La percezione di autoefficacia dei docenti nella didattica a distanza assume un ruolo ancora più importante in situazione di emergenza Covid-19. Il presente contributo indaga tale costrutto in un campione di 50 docenti universitari dell’Università degli Studi di Palermo, rilevando l’eventuale incidenza di variabili quali le esperienze pregresse di insegnamento nell’ambito della didattica a distanza e l’autoefficacia nell’utilizzo di tecnologie didattiche. University teachers’ c…
L’innovazione tecnologica e il Faculty Development.
2023
La crisi pandemica ha accelerato la diffusione di ambienti di apprendimento caratterizzati dall'uso intensivo della tecnologia. Questa novità rappresenta un obiettivo trasversale della professionalizzazione del docente universitario, con una particolare declinazione sul versante pedagogico-didattico-valutativo quale questione strategica per lo sviluppo dell’alta formazione. Il contributo illustra i risultati di una ricerca condotta con 119 docenti universitari neoassunti e 20 Direttori di dipartimento. La finalità della ricerca è stata, da una parte, rilevare la percezione dei docenti neoassunti relativa alle proprie competenze didattiche, metacognitive e valutative, con riferimento alla di…
French Students Enrolled in Distance Learning: Highly Motivated But Less Satisfied?
2016
International audience; The anticipated benefits of using emerging technology tools to facilitate learning have in recent years increased the expectations of the development of distance learning in higher education. Studies in various countries show, however, that the profile of distance learning students differs from traditional students' characteristics. There are generally older, more employed and more highly motivated but with a lower parental educational background even if these features appear to change with the development new technologies in training. This paper aims to identify some barriers to the development of distance and e-learning from the students' point of view. More precis…
Digital media in blended coaching : interaction and distance presence in adult education
2011
In this study were studied the dimensions and advantages of the digital media in the adult education and distance presence. The point of view and limiting of the study was coaching and the significance of face-to-face interaction in it. The study was partly based on my three earlier reports about the digital media in the direction of teaching training. Main question of the three reports was would the digital media supply some new dimensions and benefits for teaching training guidance? It was seen, in the reports, as the biggest disadvantage that the distance presence is not a genuine situation because there is lack of (quick) interactivity. The need for a flexible two-way communication chan…
La interpretación de los riesgos naturales y el cambio climático en postgrado. Ejemplos de casos de estudio en la provincia de Alicante (España)
2020
Esta investigación tiene el objetivo de exponer una experiencia didáctica sobre la interpretación de los riesgos naturales y el cambio climático a partir de la propuesta de diferentes estudios de caso de la provincia de Alicante (España). Dicha propuesta se lleva a cabo en la asignatura de Cambio Climático y Riesgo en el Mediterráneo del Máster en Planificación y Gestión de Riesgos Naturales (Universidad de Alicante). Metodológicamente se han expuesto diferentes ejemplos de análisis sobre las temáticas de: 1) Las sequías; 2) La explotación y sangrado de cursos fluviales; 3) Tendencias climáticas; y 4) Medidas de adaptación al cambio climático. Con estos ejemplos se pretende que los discente…
Performing arts and mediation technology in the period of lockdown
2021
Advancements in digital technologies have become novel ways to enrich communication, expression, and transmission of arts knowledge. Technology is increasingly implemented in the performance space, as a source of inspiration for artists. Especially in this period of lockdown, mediation technology has turned out to be an essential tool for different aspects of social life, as in performing arts. With venues, schools and artistic activities closed, performers, students and spectators have been obliged to keep connecting in remote conditions. This article wants to retrace the aesthetic impact of mediation technology in performing arts during this period of lockdown by focusing on the aspects t…
Distance Learning Improvement Possibilities in Sciences for 8th to 12th Grades
2021
COVID-19 pandēmijas ietekmē, cilvēku ikdiena vairs nav iedomājama bez attālinātā darba un attālinātajām mācībām. Svarīgi, lai attālinātās mācības neradītu negatīvu ietekmi uz izglītības kvalitāti, īpaši specifiskos mācību priekšmetos, kad to veiksmīgai apgūšanai ir nepieciešami arī praktiskie darbi un laboratorijas darbi. Līdz ar to bija svarīgi izpētīt attālināto mācību specifiku un pilnveidošanas iespējas dabaszinību mācību priekšmetos, lai varētu izstrādāt rekomendācijas dažādām sociālajām grupām – pedagogiem, skolniekiem un viņu vecākiem, lai nodrošinātu pilnvērtīgu dabaszinātņu mācību priekšmetu apguvi. Autore pētījumā izmantoja gadījuma pētījuma dizainu, kurā atklāja, ka Latvijā šobrī…
