“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…
Impact of Sport-related Games on High School Students' Communication Skills
2015
Abstract In Recent studies underline the fact that adolescents are, at many times, likely to experience serious communication problems with their families and close environments. So, the aim of this study is to determine positive impact of sport-related games, which are performed as extracurricular activities, on high school students’ communication skills. In the study, pre, & post-tests was utilized with the control group’s experimental patterns. Two participant groups were made up of totally 30 high school students, 15 of whom would be in the experimental group and the rest of whom were in the control group. The former group was given sport- related 20 applications for 10 weeks during…
Student Athletes’ Causal Attributions for Sport and School Achievement in Relation to Sport Dropout and Grade Point Average
2023
The present study longitudinally examined stability and change in the attributional profiles of Finnish student athletes (n = 391) in upper secondary sport schools. Moreover, it examined the extent to which these profiles, and changes in them, were associated with athletes’ level of sport competition and school achievements and dropouts at the end of upper secondary sport school. Using latent profile analysis, five different and highly stable attributional profiles were identified for student athletes: (a) depressive (6.9%), (b) athletic self-serving (23.0%), (c) average (16.4%), (d) learned helplessness (30.9%), and (e) responsible (22.8%). The results further showed that over the 3-year s…
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…
Content-Specific Learning in CLIL
2018
<div> <p>The research investigates the effects of two learning contexts, content and language integrated learning (CLIL) and traditional learning (non-CLIL), upon content-specific outcomes, an aspect less explored than language-specific achievements in CLIL. Specifically, the study provides an interdisciplinary analysis of English CLIL applied to Physics in Italian high school. Two different levels of student competence are examined: selecting answers for content-specific issues, and content-related argumentative skills, in order to measure how learners comprehend and discuss content. The comparison between CLIL and non-CLIL classes in pretest, posttest and delayed posttest acco…
La scrittura espressiva nell'orientamento. Una metodologia educativa per la costruzione del progetto di vita personale e professionale
2015
La scrittura espressiva adottata a scuola come strumento di autorientamento non sostituisce l’intervento educativo dell’insegnante, piuttosto può considerarsi una tecnica efficace per raccogliere tutte le informazioni necessarie con cui formare, con il consenso dell’alunno e insieme a lui, un quadro esaustivo in cui includere lo stato attuale delle sue competenze, le sue attitudini, i suoi interessi, le sue motivazioni, la sua storia formativa, il suo profilo di personalità, i suoi limiti, nonché i suoi obiettivi e le modalità concrete con cui egli pensa di raggiungerli. Essa è pertanto un metodo educativo con cui gli studenti che si approssimano a svolgere gli esami di maturità possono ori…
Brána jazykem otevíraná aneb identita vysokoškolských pedagogů versus požadavky současného pracovního trhu
2021
The aim of the article is to describe a new study programme at the University of Opole, Czech language in the public services sector. Necessity to create non-philological programme is explained, as there are huge changes on the labour market and different expectations of future employers. Changes in the programme were enforced also by a new generation, so called Generation Z that has new characteristics. That lead the teachers to change their previous identities and habits.
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…
Promuovere l'autostima, l'autoefficacia e lo stile decisionale a scuola attraverso la scrittura espressiva
2015
Esprimere in forma scritta le proprie emozioni positive quando si pensa ai propri obiettivi di vita fa bene alla salute. È questa la conclusione cui è giunta laura King dopo aver analizzato gli effetti della trascrizione del proprio miglior sé proiettato nel futuro. James W. Pennebaker, pioniere della scrittura espressiva sperimentata secondo la modalità retrospettiva, ha invece sottolineato gli effetti sulla salute della scrittura di emozioni negative connesse ad episodi traumatici vissuti nel passato. Nel presente studio, si sono presi in considerazione i contributi dei due ricercatori per confrontare gli effetti della trascrizione delle paure e delle speranze riguardo al futuro su tre co…
Opiskelijan huomion kiinnittyminen simulaation aikana fysiikan oppitunnilla : silmänliiketutkimus autenttisessa ympäristössä
2017
Tässä pro gradu -tutkielmassa tutkittiin opiskelijan huomion kohdetta lukion fysiikan tunnilla. Tutkimuksessa selvitettiin, vastaako opiskelijan visuaalinen huomio opettajan antamia vihjeitä, kun opettaja opettaa luokassa yhteisesti simulaation avulla. Aineiston kerääminen toteutettiin Tobii Pro Glasses 2 -katseenseurantalaseilla ja SRI-haastattelun avulla ja datan analysointiin käytettiin Microsoft Excel -ohjelmistoa. Luotettavuuden arviointiin käytettiin vertauskoodausta. Tutkimustuloksena oli, että opiskelija seuraa opettajan antamia vihjeitä suurimman osan simulaatio-opetuksen ajasta. Opiskelija katsoi 60 % ajasta sinne, minne opettaja haluaa opiskelijoiden katsovan ja 41 % ajasta opete…
