La reconstrucción del conocimiento en la formación de maestros a partir de una metodología centrada en situaciones dialógicas
2005
Este proyecto se justifica desde dos aspectos fundamentales: por un lado, plantear una metodología universitaria que tenga como punto de partida las ideas y concepciones sobre la enseñanza que tienen nuestros estudiantes y, por otro, la necesidad de poner en práctica el uso de algunos materiales elaborados por el Grupo Interdisciplinar de Investigación Docente en años anteriores y que continúan completándose durante el presente curso. Se trata de diseñar una metodología docente que, desde la unión de la teoría y la práctica en las situaciones de diálogo, facilite la reconstrucción del conocimiento que tienen los estudiantes sobre la enseñanza. Pretendemos comprobar los cambios que se produc…
Norm continuity and related notions for semigroups on Banach spaces
1996
We find some conditions on a c0-semigroup on a Banach space and its resolvent connected with the norm continuity of the semigroup. We use them to get characterizations of norm continuous, eventually norm continuous and eventually compact semigroups on Hilbert spaces in terms of the growth of the resolvent of their generator.
Assessing hot and cool executive functions in preschoolers: affective flexibility predicts emotion regulation
2018
Affective flexibility (AF) is the ability to alternate between processing emotional and non-emotional information. This hot executive function has been understudied during early development. The fi...
A cognitive-behavioural intervention improves cognition in caregivers of people with autism spectrum disorder: A pilot study
2017
Abstract As postulated by the stress process model, chronically stressed individuals, such as caregivers of people with chronic psychological disorders, have poorer cognitive performance and higher age-related cognitive decline than individuals not exposed to chronic stress. When analysing this topic in caregivers, the majority of research has been conducted in populations in which the care recipient has dementia and/or Alzheimer's disease, while relatively few studies have analysed cognition in caregivers of offspring with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The main objective of this pilot study was to analyse the effect of a cognitive-behavioural intervention on cognition in caregivers of pe…
Why Study Online in Upper Secondary School? Qualitative Analysis of Online Learning Experiences
2015
In Finland, online learning has become more common in recent years. In this study, we examined why adult students chose to study online for upper secondary school. The research also focused on the support needed for learning from a special education perspective. Both qualitative and quantitative data were collected using an electronic questionnaire. In total, 58 students responded. Data were analyzed qualitatively using the content analysis technique. The findings indicate that the main reasons for online studies are similar in Finland to those found internationally: flexibility of timetables, the student’s health condition, and family situations. The findings also indicate that a student’s…
Young children in day and night care : negotiating and constructing belonging during daily arrivals
2016
The paper aims at understanding the processes related to young children's belonging during daily arrivals at day and night care. Two aspects of a child's belonging are considered: membership and sense of belonging. Data were gathered by ethnographic observation of 8 children aged from 20 to 36 months in two Finnish day care centres offering day and night care. Arrival episodes taking place at different times of day were analysed qualitatively based on the children's actions and expressions. During these episodes, the children negotiated and constructed their belonging by interacting with adults, peers and material objects. These interactions took place within varying social and material sur…
Self-Control in Daily Life
2016
In this daily diary study, we investigated the flexibility-enhancing effects of positive affect on the self-reported success of self-control strategies followed in daily life; 297 participants completed a 13-day daily diary that included measures of positive affect, desire, and habit strength as well as three self-control strategies (i.e., monitoring, distraction, and stimulus control). We found specific effects of positive affect on self-control strategies: Individuals with higher positive affect were most successful when following a strategy of distraction (e.g., thinking about something else), particularly when faced with strong tempting desires. These results reinforce the idea that po…
Facilitating Team Reflexivity About Communication
2016
This article explores how team facilitation can promote team reflexivity about communication. We present a case study that was conducted within a participatory action research framework with a Top Management Team for an international manufacturing company. We identify and analyze five key interventions that promoted team reflexivity. These interventions included activities such as (a) framing the facilitation, (b) inquiring into the key issues, (c) role modeling feedback, (d) positive storytelling, and (e) reflecting on concrete communication actions. The findings suggest that reflexivity can be enhanced through positive storytelling and emotion, framing and contextual sensitivity, and add…
Fenêtres sur cases : la fenêtre comme figure réflexive dans quelques bandes dessinées contemporaines
2020
Cet article décrit comment la bande dessinée peut proposer un nouveau paradigme de réflexivité : la fenêtre prend la place du miroir et remplace une réflexivité du sujet par une réflexivité du code. Les fenêtres dans les bandes dessinées sont les équivalents des cases et elles structurent la planche comme des façades d’immeubles. Plusieurs dessinateurs (de Will Eisner à Pascal Rabaté) utilisent le potentiel spectaculaire de la fenêtre pour montrer explicitement le fonctionnement propre de leurs oeuvres et inventent de nouvelles formes d’albums qui vont déconstruire ou reconstruire la représentation.
Cross-border virtual teams, as seen from applied psychology & applied economy perspective. A Case study of a cross-cultural teaching program
2018
As communication becomes easier with the proliferation of ICT (Internet Communication Technology), more companies and individuals face the need and challenge of creating and facilitating virtual teams. Those are groups of people that contact each other only by the means of the internet, with no real-world physical face-to-face contact. Despite the numerous benefits, as low-to-non monetary costs and enormous creation flexibility, there are also many (psychological) risks, often not apparent from the outside. In the current paper we discuss the teaching program that was designed to foster virtual communication skills. We describe a project conducted simultaneously between Palacký University (…
