2018

Šī darba mērķis ir noskaidrot saistību starp traumatisku bērnības pieredzi un psiholoģiskās labklājības līmeni,dzīvesspēku, kā arī to veicinošiem faktoriem. Darba ietvaros traumatiska bērnības pieredze tiek apskatīta kā fiziska, emocionāla vai seksuāla vardarbība pret bērnu ģimenē. Vardarbība pret bērniem ir nozīmīga problēma ar dažāda veida nopietnām paliekošām sekām, kas ietekmē tai skaitā arī indivīda subjektīvo labklājību pieaugušo vecumā. Labklājība ir saistīta ar kognitīvu stabilitāti par abstraktām lietām un notikumiem katra cilvēka dzīvē. Apmierinātība ar dzīvi ir nozīmīgs subjektīvās labklājības komponents, vai arī zinātnisks termins vārdam „laime”(Yang& Padmini2016). Viens no labk…

Learning Slovak in an E-Learning Environment: A case study

2014

Providing a motivating learning environment for learning a less commonly taught language is a challenge. Developing technology, societal changes, virtual mobility and networking create new demands for teachers and students of these languages. Growing needs for international mobility call for the adoption of new pedagogical approaches. It is the urgency of using more up-to-date, pedagogically acceptable computer-assisted teaching programs that led to the development of the e-learning course of Slovak reported upon in this article. The course is based on a socio-constructivist approach and its main aim is to promote the development of learners’ communicative and cultural competence. This empi…

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…

Apprendere ad abitare il mondo. Riflessioni pedagogiche e filosofiche sulla consegna educativa

2020

The text draws the lines of an education ontology, according to progressive levels of in-depth analysis of the experience. The first one is proper of the fundamental pedagogy and sets up its central category: the educative relationship is consignment of a meaning heritage to self-realization. The second one is proper of the philosophy of education, whose purpose is justifying a more original consignment, beyond its ethos, to the history and the being. As a matter of fact, both the immanence in the history and the conscience of a correlated transcendence are constitutive of the consignment. This is a further level and the task becomes foundational: what is not explained within the experience…

Cognitive skills among Nepalese child labourers

2001

The cognitive skills of 61 Nepalese 10-14-year-old working children with at least 2 years working experience (WE) were compared to two groups of children, beginners (N = 29) with less than 1 year of WE and a school group (N = 104) matched for age and ethnic background. All the children (N = 194) were tested by the Bender test, WISC-R for Arithmetic, Digit Span, and the Word Fluency test. The main results showed that the school group was better in all the cognitive tests, except for Digit Span Backwards, where the working group had the highest average score. The second main finding shows no major differences in cognitive skills between the beginner and working groups. However, the work exper…
