The analysis of the material deprivation of foreigners in Italy.
2013
We examine the material deprivation of foreigners on a sub-sample of the 2009 Italian Survey on Income and Living Conditions. We employ two indices of material deprivation that take into account the regional level of our analysis, and rely on the assignment of weights to items. The determinants of material deprivation are investigated through a zero-inflated beta model.
English teachers’ motives for joining teaching specific Facebook groups and the perceived usefulness of them
2018
Erilaiset sosiaaliset mediat ja niiden käytön laajeneminen on ollut yksi suurimmista puheenaiheista teknologian saralla viimeisen parin vuosikymmenen aikana. Suurin ja eniten käyttäjiä keräävä sosiaalisen median kanava nykypäivänä on Facebook. Alusta onkin herättänyt suurta kiinnostusta myös koulutuksen ja opetuksen tutkimuksen saralla. Suurin osa aiemmin tehdystä tutkimuksesta on keskittynyt Facebookin soveltuvuuteen opetusalustana, opiskelijoiden väliseen kommunikointiin sekä kuinka opettajan Facebookin käyttö vaikuttaa hänen uskottavuuteensa. Täten opettajien välistä kommunikointia Facebookissa ei ole juurikaan tutkittu. Tämän kandidaatintutkielman tehtävänä oli selvittää, miksi suomalai…
Bildungsexpansion, soziale Klasse und die Wahl von Latein als Strategie der Distinktion
2021
In times of educational expansion, privileged families are looking for new strategies of distinction. Referring to Pierre Bourdieu���s theory of distinction, we argue that choosing Latin at school ��� a language that is no longer spoken and therefore has no direct value ��� is one of the strategies of privileged families to set themselves apart from less privileged families. Based on two surveys we conducted at German schools, the paper analyzes the relationship between parents��� educational background and the probability that their child will learn Latin. Results indicate that historically academic families have the strongest tendency towards learning Latin, followed by new academic famil…

Like it or not? How the economic and institutional environment shapes individual attitudes towards multinational enterprises
2018
The integration of goods and factor markets has affected the lives of individuals all over the world. While some agents have reaped enormous benefits from this process, others have lost in terms of income and welfare. It is usually argued that individuals are aware of the distributional effects of globalization, and that this knowledge shapes their preferences over various policy issues such as protection, financial market regulation etc. In this chapter, we use a large surveybased data set to explore whether this conjecture is correct when it comes to individuals’ attitudes towards multinational enterprises (MNEs).

POGLĄDY NA NAUKĘ JĘZYKA OBCEGO U OSÓB Z WYSOKĄ I NISKĄ GOTOWOŚCIĄ KOMUNIKACYJNĄ W JĘZYKU ANGIELSKIM
2019
Reflection is understood as an activity which enables the reproduction of past experiences, reflection and meditation about them and their evaluation. One of the most significant features shaping learner reflection may be willingness to communicate in a foreign language – one’s volitional readiness to enter a communicative event in this language. In spite of a wealth of research conducted in this area, it is still unclear why some students are willing to start communication in a foreign language, while others are adamant to avoid it. For the purpose of this paper a qualitative-quantitative study was performed, focusing on four students with very low levels of willingness to communicate in E…
