Teacher efficacy predicts teachers’ attitudes towards inclusion – a longitudinal cross-lagged analysis
2020
Over the past decades, an abundance of studies have assessed teacher attitudes and self-efficacy beliefs related to inclusive education. However, empirical evidence on the causal relationship between efficacy and attitudes is still rare and inconclusive. Therefore, the present study focused on identifying the interdependent relationship between teachers’ attitudes and their self-efficacy beliefs using a cross-lagged panel design path analysis. A total of 1326 teachers from Finish schools participated in an electronic survey. Teachers’ self-efficacy beliefs were assessed five times and attitudes (attitudes and concerns subscale) three times over three years. The outcomes indicated that both …
Exploring the role of teachers’ attitudes towards inclusive education, their self-efficacy, and collective efficacy in behaviour management in teache…
2023
Using a sample of 384 Finnish teachers, in this study we explored how teachers' attitudes towards inclusive education, self-efficacy, and collective efficacy in behaviour management affect their behaviours in teaching appropriate behaviours to students, and how teachers' attitudes, self-efficacy, and collective efficacy mediate the effect of background variables on teacher behaviour. The results revealed that teachers’ self-efficacy and collective efficacy significantly predicted their behaviour. The number of students with attention or behavioural problems has an indirect negative effect on teacher behaviour, mediated by teacher self-efficacy. peerReviewed
The effect of perceived school climate and teacher efficacy in behavior management on job satisfaction and burnout: A longitudinal study
2016
Abstract This study investigated how perceived school climate affects teachers' job satisfaction and burnout and how self-efficacy and collective efficacy in behavior management mediate the effect of perceived school climate on job satisfaction and burnout. The questions were answered using longitudinal questionnaire data collected from 642 Finnish lower secondary school teachers. A structural equation model revealed that school climate had a positive effect, partly mediated by self-efficacy, on job satisfaction. Collective efficacy in student discipline did not explain either job satisfaction or burnout. Self-efficacy in managing behavior had a positive effect on job satisfaction and a neg…
La publicidad actual: retos y oportunidades
2012
El entorno publicitario ha cambiado considerablemente en los últimos años: nuevos medios y herramientas, nuevos soportes, nuevos comportamientos de los consumidores, nuevas necesidades de los anunciantes… Estos y otros factores del macro entorno están obligando a los agentes implicados en el sector publicitario a emprender nuevos caminos y estrategias con las que alcanzar de forma más eficaz sus objetivos. Las agencias de publicidad en concreto han tenido que evolucionar considerablemente en los últimos años para poder satisfacer unas necesidades crecientes de sus clientes. La optimización de recursos, incluidos los económicos, la especialización o la capacidad para ofrecer nuevos servicios…
The influence of institutional measures and technological proficiency on university teaching through digital platforms
2012
Este estudio tiene como objetivo poner a prueba empíricamente el modelo teórico que explica la influencia de los factores de primer y segundo orden sobre la integración de las plataformas digitales en la docencia universitaria. Para ello, sobre una muestra de 495 profesores universitarios andaluces, se aplica un cuestionario online que analiza las funciones de uso, materiales digitales utilizados, competencia didáctica y tecnológica del profesorado, medidas de impulso institucionales, y efectos didácticos del uso. El análisis factorial previo y la aplicación del programa Amos permite la elaboración un modelo de ecuación estructural que corrobora la influencia indirecta de las medidas de apo…
Analysis of the perceived self-‐efficacy in the use of ICT of pre-‐ service primary and preschool teachers
2017
La formación del profesorado en el uso de las TIC es un aspecto importante para conseguir una verdadera integración de las TIC en la educación. Según el modelo TPACK, esta formación no debe limitarse a contemplar de manera separada los aspectos relacionados con las TIC, el contenido curricular y la metodología. En el presente estudio se explora la percepción de autoeficacia en cuanto al uso de las TIC en el aula de una muestra de 107 estudiantes de los grados de Maestro/a en Educación Infantil y en Educación Primaria. Para ello se emplea una traducción del cuestionario para la autoevaluación de las competencias TIC elaborado por Tondeur et al. (2016). Los resultados del estudio muestran que…

Prenatal thyroid hormones accelerate postnatal growth and telomere shortening in wild great tits
2021
AbstractEarly-life environment is known to affect later-life health and disease, which could be mediated by the early-life programming of telomere length, a key hallmark of ageing. According to thefetal programming of telomere biology hypothesis, variation in prenatal exposure to hormones is likely to influence telomere length. Yet the contribution of key metabolic hormones,i.e. thyroid hormones (THs), has been largely ignored. We recently showed that in contrast to predictions, exposure to elevated prenatal THs increased postnatal telomere length in wild collared flycatchers, but the generality of such effect, its underlying proximate mechanisms and consequences on survival have not been i…
High-Performance Lead-Acid Batteries Enabled by Pb and PbO2 Nanostructured Electrodes: Effect of Operating Temperature
2021
Lead-acid batteries are now widely used for energy storage, as result of an established and reliable technology. In the last decade, several studies have been carried out to improve the performance of this type of batteries, with the main objective to replace the conventional plates with innovative electrodes with improved stability, increased capacity and a larger active surface. Such studies ultimately aim to improve the kinetics of electrochemical conversion reactions at the electrode-solution interface and to guarantee a good electrical continuity during the repeated charge/discharge cycles. To achieve these objectives, our contribution focuses on the employment of nanostructured electr…
Tempo ed efficienza nell'azione amministrativa
2010
Il lavoro si sofferma in particolare sull’importanza che la legislazione sull’attività amministrativa autoritativa attribuisce alla dimensione temporale, a partire dalla legge 241/90 fino alla l. n. 69 del 2009. Il fattore tempo ha ormai assunto la dignità di > collegato alla > dei rapporti tra Amministrazione e privati, che è un valore costituzionalmente garantito. In questo senso rilevano due disposizioni della l. 69/2009: l’art. 29, il cui comma 2-bis ha ricondotto alla categoria dei livelli essenziali delle prestazioni, sia l’obbligo di concludere il procedimento entro il termine prefissato, sia quello di garantire la durata massima dei procedimenti. E l’art. 2-bis, che ha previsto, tra…
