“TEACHING REAL NUMBERS IN THE HIGH SCHOOL: AN ONTO-SEMIOTIC APPROACH TO THE INVESTIGATION AND EVALUATION OF THE TEACHERS' DECLARED CHOICES”
The thesis addresses the topics of investigating teachers' declared choices of practices concerning real numbers and the continuum in the high school in Italy, evaluating their didactical suitability and the impact of a deep reflexion about some historical and didactical issues on the teachers' decision-making process. Our research hypothesis was that teachers' choices of teaching sequences concerning real numbers, with particular attention to the representations of real numbers, could be very relevant in order to interpret some of the well-known students' difficulties. After a pilot study in form of a teaching experiment and a literature review concerning students' and teachers' difficulti…
Effect of attitudes toward Physical Education on motives to sport practice outside school hours
2016
[Resumen] La literatura especializada destaca la relación entre la participación de los adolescentes en actividades físicas y diversos beneficios físicos y psicosociales. Sin embargo, la actividad física de los adolescentes está por debajo de lo necesario para disfrutar de una buena salud física y psicológica. Existe consenso en que la Educación Física puede ayudar a los adolescentes a implicarse en actividades físicas y promover estilos de vida saludables. Por ello, el objetivo de este trabajo ha sido analizar la relación entre las actitudes hacia la Educación Física y los motivos para la práctica deportiva fuera del horario escolar. Han participado 428 alumnos de Educación Secundaria y 1º…

Tonalité sociale du contexte et expérience scolaire des élèves au lycée et à l'école primaire
2004
This article presents the main results of a study that evaluates and analyzes the influence of social composition of schooling context -termed "school mix" in English-language literature- on pupils' progress and some of their attitudes, as well as on certain teacher judgments, at the primary school and 'seconde' [second form (GB)/tenth grade (US)] 'lycée' (high school) levels. The influence of school mix on pupil progress in a given year seems slight. Moreover, the results show significant contextual effects on pupils' occupational aspirations, some of their attitudes, and teacher expectations and demands. It remains to be seen, however, how best to apprehend the way effects of context accu…
An action research case study intervention : psychological skills training program in high school
2016
Antti Järvinen, 2016. Toimintatutkimus Psykologisten taitojen opettamisesta lukiossa. Liikuntapsykologian maisteriohjelman pro-gradu tutkielma. Liikuntatieteen laitos, Jyväskylän yliopisto. 109 sivua. Psykologisten taitojen vaikutusta on paljon tutkittu ja opetuksen hyödyt näiden taitojen oppimisessa ovat kiistattomat. Tästäkin huolimatta, emme tiedä vielä tarpeeksi opettamisen ja oppimisen mekanismeista prosesseista psykologisten taitojen taustalla. Lähes kaikki alan tutkimukset ovat keskittyneet urheilumaailmaan ja esimerkiksi koulumaailma on lähes tutkimaton alue alalla. Tämä tutkimus keskittyi psykologisten taitojen opettamisen suunnitteluun, käytännön toteutukseen ja arviointiin lukiok…
Career Decision Self-Efficacy Scale–Short Form: uno studio per l’adattamento italiano
2008
La scelta scolastico-professionale è un compito decisionale complesso e per la sua gestione un ruolo significativo viene assunto dalle credenze di efficacia nelle proprie capacità decisionali. La Career Decision Self-Efficacy Scale_Short Form (CDSES-SF) messa a punto da Betz e Taylor è uno degli strumenti più utilizzati nel panorama internazionale proprio per analizzare l’autoefficacia nei confronti di tali capacità. In considerazione di ciò, pur esistendo in Italia anche altri strumenti che possono essere utilizzati per approfondire le credenze di efficacia sperimentate dagli adolescenti che si approcciano al compito di career decision making, si è deciso di analizzare i requisiti psicomet…
Vector Potential at High School: A Way to Introduce Superconductivity and to Review Electromagnetism
2014
Superconductivity is a rich and complex topic that generates great interest and curiosity in high school students. Most of the presentations of superconductivity give a great importance to magnetism. But typically in these presentations the physical role is played by the magnetic field B while the magnetic vector potential A is never mentioned. Moreover the explanation of the quantum phenomena at the base of the superconductivity are often not enough developed and generally given only at a popular level. We think that the key point for a meaningful presentation at high school is the vector potential. In this paper we present a teaching path on the vector potential and a pilot experimentatio…
Teachers' perceptions of student engagement and teacher self-efficacy beliefs
2014
This study examines the teachers’ perceptions of student engagement, teachers’ self-efficacy beliefs, and their interrelation. Affective engagement can be understood as belonging or relatedness as well as identification with school. Cognitive engagement can be conceived as engagement in classroom, self-regulation, learning goals and a student’s overall investment in learning. Measuring students’ engagement is crucial in that it helps educators predict and, by amending current teaching practices and policies, avoid poor performance or even drop-out. The teacher’s belief in herself and her potential is critical for the students’ overall performance in class. This study attempts to investigate…
Seeing reality through Einstein's eyes: a teaching proposal for special relativity
2021
The teaching of Special Relativity is still a critical issue not only for students but also for teachers. In this paper, we describe the trial of a learning unit on the Special Relativity topic based on Minkowski's approach through spacetime diagrams, following the results in pedagogical researches in this field. The main innovation of our project consists of a mechanical instrument: it allows to physically and mechanically represent Lorentz’s transformations by hands, exploring the effects of a change of the reference frame. Teachers and students can deal “by eye” with unusual phenomena as the loss of simultaneity, time dilation, length contraction, relativistic addition of velocities and …
Enseñanza y aprendizaje de la astronomía en el bachillerato
2013
Desde la investigación didáctica se viene señalando el creciente desinterés por la ciencia del alumnado de todos los niveles. En este trabajo se plantea la enseñanza de la astronomía como una estrategia más en el camino de enseñar ciencia a este alumnado desmotivado. La oportunidad la brinda, de momento, la asignatura Ciencias para el Mundo Contemporáneo, impartida en 1º de bachillerato. El trabajo comienza planteando algunos problemas de la enseñanza de la astronomía en este nivel: ¿Qué dificultades tienen los alumnos de bachillerato al estudiar el tema de astronomía? ¿Cuáles son las deficiencias de la actual forma de enseñar astronomía? ¿Es posible diseñar una propuesta didáctica para la …
