The digitized curriculum: voices and silences in the publishing field
2015
En este artículo se analiza la posición, de algunas de las editoriales presentes en la Comunidad Valenciana, sobre la migración hacia formatos digitales del libro de texto utilizado en centros educativos de niveles no universitarios.

Entre los resultados alcanzados destaca la gran heterogeneidad de formatos, soportes y marcas; la necesidad de equipos pedagógicos de asesoramiento en las editoriales; la competencia de productos digitales del profesorado y el silencio …
El futur de la psicologia
2008
Ni que siga per consolidar i excel·lir els avanços aconseguits 'també en l'àmbit de la nostra ciència, la Psicologia', convé mirar al futur, tal com l'autor de la present col·laboració postula. I això amb perspectiva integradora i comunitària, recuperant l'harmonització de les ciències i de la vida mateixa, en forma de trilogia dels factors 'investigació, mediació computacional i tribut a la societat'. Afegeix l'autor l'exigència de gradients o nivells operatius d'intervenció i la contextualització europea i planetària en un món globalitzat que no té marxa enrere. S'aposta pel «capital humà» per assolir l'autèntic progrés i es defi neixen els trets bàsics del professional de la Psicologia, …
The Relationship Between Goal Orientation, Social Comparison Responses, Self-Efficacy, and Performance
2008
The present study examined whether social comparison responses (identification and contrast in social comparison) mediated the relationship between goal orientation (promotion and prevention) and self-efficacy, and whether self-efficacy was subsequently related with a better performance. As expected, the results showed that promotion-oriented individuals – who are focused on achieving success – had higher self-efficacy than prevention-oriented individuals – who are focused on avoiding failure. Only one of the social comparison responses had a mediating role. That is, the tendency to contrast oneself with others who were doing better mediated the relationship between a prevention goal orien…

Absorptive Capacity and Social Capital: Innovation and Environmental Regulation
2010
Norwegian paper and pulp mills are subject to strict environmental regulation. The mills conduct research and development for reducing pollution. Absorptive capacity indicates their competence. Firms are part of a social network of connections with external actors that include other paper and pulp mills, suppliers, customers, research institutes, and universities that help them in developing technologies. These relations represent their social capital. Some firms have access to more and better resources than other firms. Measuring firms’ absorptive capacity and access to social capital, we analyze their success in reducing pollution levels. There is a strong interaction effect between absor…
