How social network sites and other online intermediaries increase exposure to news
2020
Research has prominently assumed that social media and web portals that aggregate news restrict the diversity of content that users are exposed to by tailoring news diets toward the users’ preferences. In our empirical test of this argument, we apply a random-effects within–between model to two large representative datasets of individual web browsing histories. This approach allows us to better encapsulate the effects of social media and other intermediaries on news exposure. We find strong evidence that intermediaries foster more varied online news diets. The results call into question fears about the vanishing potential for incidental news exposure in digital media environments.
"My Best Self": Efficacy and underlying mechanisms of a Positive Psychology Intervention
2018
Las Intervenciones de Psicología Positiva son recursos valiosos para promover el bienestar en los individuos que las practican (Bolier et al., 2013), y, concretamente, la intervención del Mejor Yo Posible (MYP) parece ser un enfoque prometedor (Loveday et al., 2016). Se trata de una intervención positiva que pide a los individuos que se imaginen a sí mismos en el mejor futuro posible (King, 2001). Aunque existen muchos estudios individuales publicados acerca de su eficacia, todavía se desconoce cuál es la eficacia general de esta intervención, y se necesita investigación adicional sobre este tema. Además, la investigación sobre los mecanismos que subyacen a la eficacia de esta actividad pos…
Positive clinical psychology and positive technologies
2017
La Psicología Clínica ha avanzado notablemente en los últimos 100 años y en estos momentos disponemos ya de tratamientos psicológicos basados en la evidencia. Ahora bien, esto no es óbice para seguir mejorando esta disciplina. En los últimos 20 años se han producido dos importantes desarrollos que han resultado beneficiosos para este campo. Por una parte, lo que ha supuesto el movimiento de la Psicología Positiva y su cristalización en la Psicología Clínica Positiva. Por otra, la introducción de las Tecnologías de la Información y la Comunicación (TICs) para mejorar la práctica clínica cotidiana. En este trabajo se abordan estos avances y se presenta un nuevo campo de estudio que intenta es…
PPOSITIVE CLINICAL PSYCHOLOGY AND POSITIVE TECHNOLOGIES
2017
Clinical psychology has advanced significantly in the past hundred years, and we now have evidence-based psychological treatments. However, this does not mean that there is no room for further improvement in this discipline. In the past twenty years, two important developments have been identified as being beneficial for this field: on the one hand, the Positive psychology movement and its crystallization in the discipline of positive clinical psychology; on the other, the introduction of information and communication technologies (ICTs) to improve daily clinical practice. In this paper, we address these developments and present a new field of study that attempts to strengthen the ties and …
The relationship between the integration of information and communication technologies and their knowledge
2010
The integration of Information and communication technologies (ICT) requires the teachers to be competent, both technologically and pedagogically. In this work, the competences in ICT of teachers are studied, in particular the relationship between the technological competences and the pedagogical competences. For it, it has been used a survey design and a sample, randomly selected, of the non university teachers of the Comunidad Valenciana, to those that have been applied a questionnaire. It has found a significant relationship between technological competences and pedagogical competences in the sense that the former represent both a base as a facilitator of the latter. This means that the …
Integración de las tecnologías de la información y comunicación en las prácticas docentes de magisterio
2011
En este artículo abordamos la utilización de un Entorno Virtual de Aprendizaje para optimizar la gestión de la información y comunicación de la información entre los agentes implicados en la asignatura Practicum. Inicialmente presentamos una revisión sobre el tratamiento que ésta ha tenido desde mediados del siglo pasado hasta la actualidad en el Estado español. Finalmente presentamos los resultados de un estudio piloto realizado con los estudiantes de Magisterio de la especialidad de Educación Física, que ponen de manifiesto las actitudes positivas del alumno hacia el uso de las TIC y la percepción de la importancia que las mismas tienen dentro de los contenidos curriculares, por lo que es…
The role of information and communication technologies and logistics organization in the economic performance of Sicilian fruit and vegetable enterpr…
2013
Through a direct survey conducted on a sample of firms operating in the Sicilian fruit and vegetable sector, the present study provides an empirical evidence on the degree of diffusion of ICTs as well as on relationships with the regional distribution system. To pursue this goal, a multiple regression analysis model was implemented to identify which factors affect more the economic results of fruit and vegetable enterprises. The main results of the analysis indicate that firms using specific software for accounting, warehousing, payment and sales orders and contracts, are more likely to obtain higher economic performances under the “coeteris paribus” condition, as well as firms which are eq…
El trabajo en red y la cooperación como elementos para la mejora escolar
2021
La escuela es un entorno enriquecido de aprendizaje, pero no es el único entorno educativo. La misión educativa de la escuela debe contemplar la coordinación escuela-familia como rasgo de su proyecto social. Buena parte de este puente se fundamenta en el diálogo desde la participación de la familia con el desarrollo educativo integral, base de la noción democratizadora de la escuela. Por ello, esta aportación aborda el trabajo en red como elemento para la mejora escolar desde la cooperación. Se focaliza en el trabajo en red al servicio del aprendizaje y el conocimiento y en los equipos cooperativos como unidad de trabajo en red. Una muestra de esta forma de trabajo se concreta en dos experi…
Open Access Publishing as a Bridge Across the Digital Divide
2007
In today’s world of snappy catchphrases, the complexity of a phenomenon is often hiddenbehind the simplicity of the terminology. Take, for instance, the concept of the digital divide.In short, the term means that there is a gap between those people who have effective access todigital technologies (and all the benefits that brings) and those who do not (Organization forEconomic Cooperation and Development [OECD], 2001; Selhofer & Husing, 2002). Whilethe definition seems simple enough, in fact, there are numerous reasons for the technologygap among people in the world. Typical reasons for the digital divide include material access(i.e., no access to a computer, lack of access to specific soft…
Digital transparency and Web 2.0 in Spanish city councils
2016
Abstract The purpose of this study is to provide a Web 2.0 Disclosure Index to measure the Web 2.0 presence of Spanish city councils and the information disclosed by them on these media, and to test whether the use of Web 2.0 tools and social media by local governments improve their Web 1.0 digital transparency. We have structured the Web 2.0 Index as the sum of three partial indexes, referred to presence, the content and the interactivity of the Web, and we have estimated these indexes by a content analysis of the city council's websites. We find that the use of Web 2.0 tools has an essentially ornamental focus, and thus it is necessary to increase the content disclosed, especially at the …
