School principals’ point of view on pupils’ participation
2021
La participación es un derecho que los niños y niñas deben tener la oportunidad de ejercer y la escuela es un escenario idóneo para que el alumnado pueda hacer oír su voz exponiendo ideas, tomando decisiones y formulando propuestas. Con el objetivo de detectar las opciones del alumnado de participar en el centro y apuntar vías para maximizarlas efectuamos un estudio a partir de un cuestionario elaborado ad hoc dirigido a todos y todas los directores y directoras de escuelas de Cataluña. En concreto, participaron 684 y los resultados indican que los niños y las niñas no solo opinan en clase, sino que toman decisiones cuando trabajan en grupo, en relación con la convivencia o votando sus prop…
Studying international doctoral researchers : nexus analysis as a mode of inquiry
2020
In this paper I argue how nexus analysis (Scollon & Scollon, 2004), as a holistic, qualitative mode of inquiry, can offer a fruitful activist research approach to study international doctoral researchers. To do this, I will introduce and explain the core concepts of nexus analysis and afterwards empirically demonstrate how nexus analysis can be done in practice by presenting a case study on international doctoral researchers in a particular nexus—at a Finnish university. The overall aim of this paper is to present nexus analysis as a viable alternative for those higher education researchers who want to study communication, interaction, and language-related challenges of international do…

La pubblica amministrazione e l’etica delle istituzioni pubbliche: la questione dei codici di comportamento
2022
Public employees are bound to comply with specific duties and rules of conduct that broaden their sphere of esponsibility compared to that of ordinary citizens. The ethics of public institutions is crucial for the development and interpretation of the duties and behaviours established by the code of conduct. Accordingly, it is interesting to explore the possibility of enhancing the moral characteristics of the subjects called to perform a public function considering the Aretaic theory. In the Italian context this theory appears decidedly in line with both the constitutional provision that identifies law as a social practice and the ideal of the rule of law. A key element of the Aretaic theo…
Extended valence theory perspective on consumers' e-waste recycling intentions in Japan
2021
The gravity of the electronic waste (e-waste) crisis can be attributed to consumers' low participation in ensuring the proper disposal of such materials. Motivating consumers to recycle e-waste requires a deeper understanding of the dimensions that underlie behavioral intentions. Accordingly, the present study uses the novel framework of Valence Theory (VT) to examine how consumers evaluate their decision to recycle e-waste. The authors propose an extended VT model incorporating consumer values (value compatibility, openness to change, and environmental concerns), which is validated using cross-sectional survey data from 774 Japanese consumers. We also examine the role of different moderato…
Micro design in special education
2016
Since DIGCOMP the European Commission [1] has provided new causes of reflection and many competences indicators that can define a competent teacher, beyond a fruitful teaching within an inclusive perspective with the use of ICT. Even more difficult is the research of more suitable methods for the teaching-learning process by using ICT and their integration into the educational curriculum [8]. The research adopts the EAS methodology (Episodes of Situated Learning, [10]) allowing us to test the flipped lesson [12] in "special contexts" where the teachers training is considered to be essential in inclusive perspective with ICT [3]. The experimentation has started at the beginning of the academ…
The ecosocial approach in social work as a framework for structural social work
2016
The article aims to deepen the understanding of structural social work from the point of view of the ecosocial framework. It analyses selected current international literature from the debate on the new wave of various interpretations of ecological social work. The debate shares four main themes: (a) a global perspective, (b) a critical view of professional social work, (c) a holistic ecosocial transition of society and (d) environmental and ecological justice. The ecosocial framework challenges structural social work to follow the principles of sustainable development and considers environmental issues as a crucial part of the goals and practical activities of structural social work.
Hunger and sustainability
2019
This paper examines the problem of world hunger and discusses potential solutions to it. It reflects on the debate about whether transgenic foods should be used, which is more of a social controversy than a scientific one. Sustainability is considered a key driver for innovation that can be used as a basis for assessing the problem of hunger in the world, and the question is inseparable from its ethical aspects. Given that economic growth does not directly equate to human development, this paper states that it is necessary to address the problem of poverty and hunger from the capacity development framework according to human rights. Poverty causes disability by limiting human development; i…
Jean-Jacques Rousseau and Mary Wollstonecraft on the imagination
2017
The article compares Rousseau’s and Wollstonecraft’s views on the imagination. It is argued that though Wollstonecraft was evidently influenced by Rousseau, there are significant differences between their views. These differences are grounded in their different views on the faculty of reason and its relation to the passions. Whereas Rousseau characterizes reason as a derivative faculty, grounded in the more primary faculty of perfectibility, Wollstonecraft perceives reason as the faculty defining human nature. It is argued that contrary to what is often assumed, Wollstonecraft’s conception of the imagination is not primarily characterized by its Romantic features, but rather by the close af…
The role of the European Society of Human Genetics in delivering genomic education
2021
The European Society of Human Genetics (ESHG) was founded in 1967 as a professional organisation for members working in genetics in clinical practice, research and education. The Society seeks the integration of scientific research and its implementation into clinical practice and the education of specialists and the public in all areas of medical and human genetics. The Society works to do this through many approaches, including educational sessions at the annual conference; training courses in general and specialist areas of genetics; an online resource of educational materials (EuroGEMS); and a mentorship scheme. The ESHG Education Committee is implementing new approaches to expand the r…
