Patterns of university teachers’ approaches to teaching, professional development and perceived departmental cultures
2019
Many studies have been conducted about academics’ approaches to teaching, professional development and perceived departmental culture, but their interconnectedness has been considered to a lesser extent. The research presented here examined these patterns comparatively by disciplinary fields and years of teaching experience. Three inventories were filled in by 1141 academics from one Finnish and two Hungarian universities. Based on a hierarchical cluster analysis, four patterns emerged: (1) Experimenters with diverse teaching approaches; (2) Experimenters perceiving their department’s culture as most supportive and collaborative; (3) Individualistic knowledge-focused teachers; and (4) Stude…
Federaliści i rozłam między klasycznością a modernością
2014
The article shows how the classical political thinking, based on civic virtues, and modernist thinking, based on individualism and self-interest, formed the basis of the U.S. Constitution. The Founding Fathers did not realize the full extent of the rift between classicism and modernity. When, as a result of intellectual discussions and practice of social life, this divide began to become more and more obvious, there has been a transition from the classical to the modernist paradigm in American politics. However, the dispute between classicism and modernity still continues and takes on new forms. On the one hand, contemporary political thinking is seen as a triumph of modernism, in which the…
Kaikki erilaisia - kaikki yksilöitä : lapsivainajan aseman muutos suomalaisessa kuolinilmoituksessa vuosina 1910-2000
2015
Tutkielman tehtävänä on selvittää, kuinka lasten kuolinilmoittaminen on muuttunut Helsingin Sanomissa vuosien 1910–2000 välillä. Tutkielman varsinaiset tutkimuskysymykset on jaettu kahteen osaan. Miten lapsivainajan kuolinilmoittaminen on muuttunut 1900-luvun aikana Suomessa ja kuinka yleistä se on ollut? Sekä toiseksi, miten lasten kuolinilmoittamisen yleistyminen on vaikuttanut ilmoitusten sisältöön? Tutkielmassa tarkastellaan kuolinilmoituksia kulttuurisena konventiona, joka on osa yhteisön kuolemankulttuuria. Kuolemankulttuurilla tarkoitetaan yhteisön tapoja käsitellä ja selittää kuolemaa. Yhteisön kuolemankulttuuri ei ole yhtenäinen kokonaisuus vaan useampien erilaisten kulttuuristen k…

A reduçao neoliberal do sujeito ao individuo: pela recuperaçao de um imaginário com capacidade de transformaçao social
2001
Acompanhando as formulações de Cornelius Castoriadis e de Anthony Elliot, este texto afirma um imaginário que, longe se ser reprodutivo e derivado de das ilusões e da alienação do sujeito, e força produtiva de imagens e formas e, como tal, produtor da realidade social. Da perspectiva crítica aberta por esa formulação e analisado o individualismo metodológico dominante nas ciências sociais que não so justifica o projeto econômico neoliberal como não deixa espaço para quaisquer considerações sobre emergências colectivas como potencia de transformação social Following Cornelius Castoriadis and Anthony Elliot's ideas, this text assures an imaginary conception that, far from being reproductive a…
Emotions and Technoethics
2020
The relationship between emotions and ethics has been debated for centuries. The act of understanding emotions through the framework of ethics involves accepting that emotions are to some extent culturally dependent. By linking emotions in design to larger ethical discussions, it may be accepted that ethics and design are both technological constructions designed to shape a collective worldview. While both are cultural constructions, they are in constant dialogue with one another through social discourse and individualistic cognitive–affective appraisal processes. This chapter presents an account of technoethics that challenges ideas of ethical values embedded within technology, drawing att…
