Dialogicality in making sense of online collaborative interaction : a conceptual perspective

2021

In higher education, learning activities increasingly take place in online collaborative groups. In this conceptual paper, we explore online collaborative interaction from the perspective of dialogicality. We aim to reconceptualize the notion of “productive interaction” and the typical focus of its research by turning attention to the dialogic features of collaborative interaction, especially the notions of alterity, dialogic attitude, and dialogic orientation. In relation to this, we offer a contextual perspective on collaborative interaction. Relying on data from an online university course, we conceptually analyze specified components of dialogicality. This article illustrates and explor…

Dual Information Systems: Supporting Organizational Working and Learning by Making Organizational Memory Transparent

1999

The conceptual design of most computer-based information systems reflects a dualism of technology. During the development phase, part of the work-domain-related knowledge is formalized and encoded in the software, making it difficult for users to reflect on and use this knowledge. This design--use dualism contributes to the deterioration of the interpretive flexibility of information systems. In this article, we outline an information systems architecture called Dual Information Systems (DIS) that incorporates the concepts of an organizational memory information system (OMIS) in a broader framework. DIS help bridge the design--use dualism by providing organizations with a set of services th…

Los beneficios del mar: negocios e inversiones económicas de la oficialidad naval en el siglo XVIII

2019

Throughout the eighteenth century, the Spanish navy was extensively reformed and enhanced as a consequence of the new model of Monarchy that the Bourbons introduced. Among the measures adopted, it is remarkable the erection of the naval officers corps according to the needs and obligations that maritime war had in this century. This group becomes the paradigm of the new professionalization and new training approach, and its members had great relevance due to its great mobility around the empire and the power of the naval institution. This means that a part of the naval officers were placed in privileged positions and at the intersection of diverse political, social and economic networks. Th…

The measurement of economic, social and environmental performance of countries: a novel approach

2010

This paper presents a new analytical framework for assessing spatial disparities among countries. It takes for granted that the analysis of a country's performance cannot be limited solely to either economic or social factors. The aim of the paper is to combine relevant economic and 'non-economic' (mainly social) aspects of a country's performance in an integrated logical framework. Based on this idea, a structural simultaneous equation model will be presented and estimated in order to explore the direction of the causal relationship between economic and non-economic aspects of a country's performance. Furthermore, an exploration of the trajectory that each country has registered over time …

The need for a behavioural science focus in research on mental health and mental disorders

2013

Psychology as a science offers an enormous diversity of theories, principles, and methodological approaches to understand mental health, abnormal functions and behaviours and mental disorders. A selected overview of the scope, current topics as well as strength and gaps in Psychological Science may help to depict the advances needed to inform future research agendas specifically on mental health and mental disorders. From an integrative psychological perspective, most maladaptive health behaviours and mental disorders can be conceptualized as the result of developmental dysfunctions of psychological functions and processes as well as neurobiological and genetic processes that interact with …

Eclecticismo en la intervención con adolescentes en conflicto con la ley

2014

El trabajo social, como disciplina científica, se dota de marcos conceptuales que son derivados de otras ciencias sociales que legitiman y avalan su práctica profesional. A lo largo de su historia, ha ido produciéndose enfoques conceptuales y modelos teóricos que dirigen la intervención profesional con la finalidad de abordar, eficazmente, la pluralidad de problemáticas y demandas sociales que integra su ámbito de actuación. En el presente artículo, se exponen aquellos esquemas referenciales cuya aplicación resultan particularmente fructíferos en la intervención con adolecentes en conflicto con la ley en el ámbito nacional. En consecuencia, se describen y contrastan los principales modelos,…

I FRAMEWORK DISCIPLINARI PER LE COMPETENZE DI BASE Uno studio in prospettiva inclusiva

2014

Il presente studio prende le mosse da riflessioni svolte sui modi di definizione delle competenze disciplinari minime, funzionali alla costruzione di percorsi di didattica inclusiva. La mancanza di criteri e parametri condivisi nella sotto-segmentazione delle competenze di base ed una terminologia spesso opaca hanno indotto ad una lettura intensiva dei testi di riferimento, normativi e non, incentrati sulla delineazione delle competenze per l’integrazione degli alunni con disabilità. In questa prospettiva, uno spunto utile è fornito dal Common European Framework of Reference per le lingue (CEFR). Il documento costituisce un valido esempio di sistematizzazione dei modi di descrivere la compe…
