From Embodied to Disembodied Professionalism? Discussing the Implications of Medico-Managerial Management in Welfare Service Work

2013

Welfare service work is traditionally understood to comprise embodied, situational and social practices of care that are central to a worker’s professional self-image. Over the past few decades, public management reforms have called for reassessment of welfare service workers’ professional accountability through practices of medico-managerial service management. These practices promote the production of transparency and accountability in welfare services work through checking-based trust and disembodied professional practices. This article argues that the changes in the nature of trust toward welfare service professionals have implications for care work cultures and workers’ professional ag…

Social Robots and Human Touch in Care : The Perceived Usefulness of Robot Assistance Among Healthcare Professionals

2019

Touching in care work is inevitable, particularly in cases where clients depend on nurses for many activities of daily living, such as bathing, dressing, lifting and assisting. When new technologies are involved in nurse–client relationships, the significance of human touch needs special attention. Stressing the importance of practitioners’ opinions on the usage of robots in care environments, we analyze care workers’ attitudes toward robot assistance in the care of older people and reflect on their ideas of the embodied relationship that caregivers and care receivers have with technology. To examine nurses’ attitudes toward care robots, we use survey data on professional care workers (n = …

L’éthique, une potentialité : conséquences pour penser l’éducation scolaire

2018

Parler d’éducation à l’éthique c’est en général considérer cette dernière comme une entité c’est-à-dire comme quelque chose qui serait suffisamment défini pour constituer un élément du réel support à transmission. Pourtant, et les difficultés auxquelles sont confrontées les éducateurs le montrent assez bien, les questions éthiques sont délicates à définir : l’éthique implique de s’appliquer ou de faire appliquer des règles, mais ne dit rien sur la nature de ces règles. De ce point de vue, l’éthique est plus une potentialité vers laquelle il s’agit de tendre qu’une entité que l’on pourrait circonscrire pour en faire un objet d’apprentissage défini. Dans cet article, je me propose d’examiner …

Inquiry Based Learning and Responsible Research and Innovation: Examples of Interdisciplinary Approaches at Different Schooling Levels

2021

The Inquiry-Based approach to Science Education (IBSE) is presented in scienti#c literature (Hake, 1998; Sharma et al., 2010) and in research projects reports (e.g. ESTABLISH, 2010; SAILS, 2014) as a credible solution to the reported lack of ef#cacy of more ‘traditional’ educative approaches, especially when focused on Research and Innovation (RRI) (Sutcliffe, 2006; IRRESISTIBLE, 2013; Ark of Inquiry, 2013). IBSE is an inductive approach to science teaching that considers direct experience at the center of learning. IBSE activities and strategies actively involve students in the identi#cation of relevant evidence, in critical and logical reasoning on the evidence collected and in re+ection …

Algunas consideraciones bioéticas y jurídicas acerca de la Declaración de Ginebra sobre edición del genoma humano hereditario a la vista de las Decla…

2021

[ES] La reciente Declaración de Ginebra sobre edición del genoma humano denuncia la posición central que han ocupado tanto la Ciencia como la Bioética hasta la fecha, afirmando que ambas mantienen una posición decididamente favorable respecto a esta bioingeniería, y todo lo cual pone de manifiesto la acuciante necesidad de reorientar el debate hacia el campo del Derecho. El presente artículo tiene por objeto analizar pormenorizadamente las consideraciones vertidas en este documento, formulando interrogantes sobre algunas de ellas, y poniendo en valor la conveniencia de articular un consenso multidisciplinar encabezado por los derechos humanos, en particular, de aquellos grupos más vulnerabl…

Multiple Creativities Put to Work for Creative Ecologies in Teacher Professional Learning: A Vision and Practice of Everyday Creativity

2021

AbstractIn this chapter, we argue for a new vision for teacher professional learning based on the diverse creativities as practice which catalyzes educational change in whole-school contexts. We argue that it is possible (and preferable) to expand improvements to teacher education and professional development beyond neoliberal notions of “workplace readiness” and toward an environmental, ecological, sustainable education for lives worth living. This creative ecological approach considers the entire context and community of various stakeholders.Applying a case study approach, we analyze teachers’ published assignments in a blended in-service teacher education course entitled “Everyday Creati…

Two Ways of Understanding Persons: A Husserlian Distinction

2019

This paper clarifies the distinction that Edmund Husserl makes between two different ways of understanding other persons, their actions and motivations: the experiential or empirical way, on the one hand, and the genuinely or authentically intuitive way, on the other hand. The paper argues that Husserl’s discussion of self-understanding clarifies his concept of the intuitive understanding of others and allows us to explicate what is involved in it: not just the grasping of the other’s actual motivations of action but also the grasping of her motivational possibilities. The paper ends by discussing the dynamic character of the personal subject.

SOME INTERCULTURAL CONSIDERATIONS ON CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY - CASE STUDY: ROMANIA AND HOFSTEDE'S CULTURAL DIMENSIONS

In this article we try to indicate some of the implications that intercultural factors can have on the companies actions regarding CSR.
