Overcoming acculturation: physical education recruits' experiences of an alternative pedagogical approach to games teaching
2015
Background: Physical education teacher education (PETE) programmes have been identified as a critical platform to encourage the exploration of alternative teaching approaches by pre-service teachers. However, the socio-cultural constraint of acculturation or past physical education and sporting experiences results in the maintenance of the status quo of a teacher-driven, reproductive paradigm. Previous studies have reported successfully overcoming the powerful influence of acculturation, resulting in a change in PETE students' custodial teaching beliefs and receptiveness to alternative teaching approaches. However, to date, limited information has been reported about how PETE students' accu…
Didattica della Lingua Tedesca
2014
Il volume offre una riflessione glottodidattica sull’apprendimento del tedesco come lingua straniera alla luce delle ricerche condotte in Germania e in Italia. Si rivolge a chi si accinge a entrare nel mondo dell’insegnamento o è già impegnato nella formazione in ambito linguistico, ma soprattutto a coloro che si orientano verso la ricerca nel contesto universitario nazionale e internazionale del tedesco lingua straniera (DaF). Con questo intento il testo analizza i percorsi di chi apprende una lingua straniera e punta su temi ancora poco trattati in Italia, come ad esempio il lavoro per progetti e la metodologia della ricerca qualitativa.
Network dilemmas. Supplements when income doesn’t cover family expenses
2017
AbstractThe purpose of this article is to explore how families with low income experience network supplements when income does not cover the daily expenses, and to discuss how people look at this supply. The article is based on qualitative data from the Norwegian ‘Children’s level of living – study’. One child and one parent in 26 low income families were interviewed individually about their daily life. This article is based on interviews with the parents, and the analyses are inspired by grounded theory. Results: Despite a universal welfare system, people firstly turn to family and social network when they are in need. This is, however, an ambiguous experience and the informants are concer…
Engagement valence duality and spillover effects in online brand communities
2017
Purpose Online brand communities (OBCs) are an effective avenue for brands to engage consumers. While engaging with the brand, consumers simultaneously interact with other OBC members; thus engaging with multiple, interrelated engagement objects concurrently. The purpose of this paper is to explore both positively and negatively valenced consumer engagement with multiple engagement objects, the interplay between these, and the spillover effect from consumers’ engagement with the OBC to their engagement with the brand. Design/methodology/approach Drawing on 16 in-depth interviews with OBC members of a luxury accessory brand, a constant comparative method was adopted using axial and selectiv…
Learning mechanisms in multidisciplinary teamwork with real customers and open-ended problems
2015
Recently, there has been a trend towards adding a multidisciplinary or multicultural element to traditional monodisciplinary project courses in computing and engineering. In this article, we examine the implications of multidisciplinarity for students’ learning experiences during a one-semester project course for real customers. We use a qualitative research approach and base our analysis on students’ learning reports on three instances of a project course titled Multidisciplinary working life project. The main contribution of this article is the unified theoretical picture of the learning mechanisms stemming from multidisciplinarity. Our main conclusions are that (1) students generally hav…
Grounded Analytic Research: Building Theory from a Body of Research
2012
Track II: Recent Developments in Inductive Research Methods; International audience; In this paper, we present Grounded Analytic Research (GAR) as a method to build theory by synthesizing empirical findings from multiple studies that has been conducted by a single researcher. GAR incorporates concepts from grounded theory, analytic research and systematic literature review. The method was applied in a doctoral dissertation work to build the theoretical concept of Demand Sustainability of public Internet access in the context of bridging the digital divide. We describe GAR and compare it with existing theory building methods that are similar to it in epistemology and ontology.
Domestic Violence in Separated Couples in Italian Context: Communalities and Singularities of Women and Men Experiences
2018
Relationship breakdown and separation represent a critical aspect in domestic violence. Few studies have investigated domestic violence in separated couples. Moreover, there is a need for a more in depth analysis of gender differences that could enhance the comprehension of the phenomenon. The primary aim of this research was to analyze, through a qualitative approach, which kinds of domestic violence are characteristic or major in separated couples in the Italian context, where this phenomenon has not yet been sufficiently investigated. Participants are 60 separated couples (mean age: M = 48; F = 44) who attended a Family Mediation Center. A descriptive study was conducted using grounded t…
En analyse av personlighetstrekk ved ledere i normal drift og ledere i omstillingsprosesser : personlighetstrekk hos drifts- og endringsledere operas…
2014
Masteroppgave i industriell økonomi og teknologiledelse IND 590 Universitetet i Agder 2014 Denne oppgaven har undersøkt om det er noen forskjeller i personlige egenskaper hos ledere i organisasjoner som er i normal driftstilstand og ledere som er i endringsprosesser. Hensikten med oppgaven var å se på personlige egenskaper operasjonalisert gjennom femfaktormodellen, for så å ta for seg graden av viktighet personlighetstrekkene har i driftsledelse og endringsledelse. Resultatene i denne undersøkelsen er innhentet ved bruk av kvalitativ og kvantitativ metode. Det var fire virksomheter med i undersøkelsen og jeg endte opp med åtte semi-strukturerte intervjuer. Intervjuene ble så analysert ved …
Why are out-of-body experiences interesting for philosophers?
2009
After decades of only sparse scientific interest, we are currently witnessing a renaissance of empirical research into out-of-body experiences (OBEs) and full-body illusions. Being a philosopher of mind, I obviously have only a limited judgment of how good this research actually is from a purely scientific point of view. What I can do, however, is to draw attention to a series of theoretical aspects that make OBEs a particularly relevant target of investigation in the ongoing search for the neural correlate of self-consciousness and in the wider context of an empirically grounded theory of the human mind. Firstly, and most basically, this type of research has a great potential for conceptua…
Communication of Loneliness Emotions in the Online Vlogs and Their Moral Value
2019
Using the method of visual narrative analysis and the grounded theory, the answers are searched for the questions—what are the most typical emotional experiences that go with the representation of loneliness in the public digital communication and how the modern communication technologies are enabling these representations? The analysis allows to understand what has been the most desired for the young people and what is wished but not acquired (or lost) subject or experience which resulted in the loneliness. Finally, the attention is paid to the loneliness performance’s possible role in creating a digital culture and making moral sense to existential and difficult subjective experience whic…
