Civil society participation in international decision making: recent developments and future perspectives in the indigenous rights arena

2012

This article focuses on key issues and recent developments concerning indigenous peoples' involvement in international decision making affecting their rights and interests. Based on a human rights-based approach to participation, it suggests that while a number of positive steps have been taken to allow indigenous peoples the possibility to take part to, and influence, relevant intergovernmental decision-making processes, there's a need to provide their own self-governing institutions and organisations with a more influential status than that granted to civil society organisations (CSOs) generally, whereby they can exercise different levels of participatory rights, depending upon the nature…

Crisis, economic policy and inequality in Spain

2015

Este trabajo analiza el impacto social que tanto el colapso económico como las políticas desplegadas durante la crisis han producido en España. Esta crisis ha puesto de manifiesto la fragilidad del crecimiento económico español. Además, tanto las medidas de austeridad adoptadas a partir de 2010 como las reformas en el mercado de trabajo y el Estado de Bienestar han empeorado las condiciones de vida de la población. La consecuencia de estos años de crisis y política económica es un aumento explosivo del paro, la reducción de los ingresos personales, la intensificación de la desigualdad y el aumento de la pobreza. This paper analyses the social impact of both the economic collapse and policie…

Changing the heart and soul? Inequalities in Finland’s current pursuit of a narrow education policy

2018

The Finnish educational system is well known for its excellent learning results, highly trained teachers and egalitarian values. However, when the political leanings of the government change, its policies are usually altered as well. In this policy report we give an account of the recent changes and current trends in Finnish education policy. We analyse the characteristics of the Sipilä Government’s current education policy since 2015 and compare it to the Nordic welfare-state ideals of universalism, equality and social justice which have traditionally been the key building blocks of the Finnish education system. The Government’s policy appears to be narrow-minded and ignorant of issues rel…

Informal learning and wellbeing outcomes of gameplay and their associations with gameplay motivation

2023

Educational functions of digital games are often seen only in the light of the serious and purposeful activities that aim for learning outcomes, in contrast with noneducational games that are designed for entertainment. The focus of this paper is in studying players’ learning outcomes from playing non-educational games, and how these relate to wellbeing outcomes of playing, and gaming motivation. The data for this study was collected via a survey (N = 1,202) in the United Kingdom and the United States. The survey respondents answered the question regarding what players perceive they have learnt by playing digital games. A generic datadriven qualitative content analysis of the responses to t…

Informal learning and its effects on students' graded and self-assessed proficiency in Finland

2017

Englannin, kuten muidenkin kielten oppimisessa on tärkeää, että oppilaat altistuvat autenttiselle kielelle. Pelkästään oppikirjoihin ja luokassa tapahtuvaan keskusteluun tukeutuminen ei yksin riitä. Informaali oppiminen mahdollistaa tämän helpolla tavalla: oppilaat voivat valita haluamansa viihteen muodon, ja jopa huomaamattaan oppia englantia vapaa-ajallaan. Tämä tutkimus pyrkii kartoittamaan, minkälaisia informaalin oppimisen tapoja oppilaat eniten hyödyntävät, kuinka usein ja kuinka paljon he niitä hyödyntävät, sekä miten informaali oppiminen vaikuttaa heidän itsearvioituun ja virallisesti arvosteltuun kielitaitoonsa. Aineistona tutkimuksessa käytettiin kyselyä, joka jaettiin 40:lle erää…

Learning strategies, decision-making styles and conscious use of technologies in initial teacher education

2018

The aim of this research is to develop a toolkit enabling to observe transversal skills of future teachers. The research was carried out with 236 students attending the Educational Technologies course at the Primary Education program at Palermo University, during academic year 2017/2018. The research hypothesis is that the knowledge of the initial situation of students, as much objective as possible, requires triangulation, comparison and integration of the information collected with three self-assessment tools. An Italian toolkit is now available. It allows to detect the following, at the beginning of the university course: (i) how students integrate ICT with disciplinary contents and teac…
