Los resultados ponen de manifiesto que sólo cinco edito…
How do journals of different rank instruct peer reviewers? Reviewer guidelines in the field of management
2020
Current knowledge on peer review consists of general formulations of its goals and micro level accounts of its practice, while journals’ attempts to guide and shape peer review have hardly been investigated so far. This article addresses this gap by studying the content of the reviewer guidelines (RG) of 46 journals in the field of management, as editors may use guidelines to nudge reviewers considering all relevant criteria, properly, and consistently with the needs of the journal. The analysis reveals remarkable differences between the instructions for reviewers of journals of different rank. Average and low rank journals mostly use evaluation forms, they emphasize the empirical contribut…
Defining user experience goals to guide the design of industrial systems
2015
The key prerequisite for experience-driven design is to define what experience to design for. User experience (UX) goals concretise the intended experience. Based on our own case studies from industrial environments and a literature study, we propose five different approaches to acquiring insight and inspiration for UX goal setting: Brand, Theory, Empathy, Technology, and Vision. Each approach brings in a different viewpoint, thus supporting the multidisciplinary character of UX. The Brand approach ensures that the UX goals are in line with the company's brand promise. The Theory approach utilises the available scientific knowledge of human behaviour. The Empathy approach focuses on knowing…
Prediction and Adaption in Science|Environment|Health Contexts
2021
The term Science|Environment|Health (S|E|H) stands for a pedagogy of mutual benefit between science education, environmental education, and health education. Complexity is an important aspect of most S|E|H issues. In the natural sciences, and thus in science education, prediction plays a central role. Yet, complex systems usually do not allow for full prediction. “Don’t predict, adapt!” is a famous slogan in complexity talk. But what does adaption look like in complex systems and what role can scientific knowledge play in it? This paper features a symposium where three S|E|H examples were presented in which the relationship between prediction and adaption is important. The paper also includ…
Ethnographic Knowledge in Urban Planning:Bridging the Gap between the Theories of Knowledge-Based and Communicative Planning
2021
Publisher Copyright: © 2021 The Author(s). Published by Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group. ‘Knowledge-based’ approaches have recently made a breakthrough in urban planning. How to develop balance in knowledge-based planning between abstract and scientific knowledge, on the one hand, and ‘local knowledge’ on the other hand has been long debated. To this debate, we add a form of knowledge with potential for sustainable urban planning, i.e. ethnographic knowledge that could transmit an understanding of urban dwellers’ daily practices and values to planning organisations. Theoretical literature is the foundation of our argument, which we illustrate with a case study involvin…

¿En qué aspectos es más deficiente la alfabetización científica del alumnado de Bachillerato?
2020
Resumen: En el presente artículo se realiza un estudio sobre diversas definiciones de alfabetización científica.Basándonos en ellas se elabora una serie de indicadores de la misma y se presenta un diseño experimental que pretende evaluar el grado de alfabetización científica del alumnado del bachillerato científico tecnológico (GCT) y el de humanidades y ciencias sociales (GHS) en dichos aspectos, comparándolos entre sí. Los resultados ponen de manifiesto que conceptualmente el alumnado del GCT tiene un mayor grado de conocimiento científico que el alumnado GHS. En cambio, llama la atención que ante aspectos actitudinales y de relaciones cienciatecnología-sociedad no existen diferencias sig…
Introduction: Ernest Nagel and the Making of Philosophy of Science a Profession
2021
This chapter provides an overview of the life (Sect. 1.1) and philosophy (Sect. 1.2) of Ernest Nagel, as well as a summary of the chapters in this volume (Sect. 1.3). Regarding Nagel's philosophy, we focus on his role and activities to stabilize analytic philosophy (of science) and make it a profession, his views about the role and nature of history and sociology of science, naturalism, and socially engaged philosophy, and finally his understanding of the relation between science, society, and philosophy.
Citizen science for scientific literacy and the attainment of sustainable development goals in normal education
2020
Curricular integration of the formal teaching of citizen science can bring to the classroom aspects of scientific literacy that encourage the involvement of citizens. In particular, these include non-epistemic aspects related to the sociology of science (which are often not transferred to the classroom). Furthermore, this practice raises awareness among students, and encourages them to become participants in the attainment of the United Nations&rsquo
