La ricerca sul campo come extraordinary experience. Una proposta di ricerca multidisciplinare
2010
Reflexive criticism focused its attention on writing texts, neglecting the experience of observation, on which the practice of field research is built, and it rarely paid attention to the experience of researchers. The triple relationship established between the anthropologist, the world and the “other” reveals the deep interrelation between the three levels of this “complex isotopy”. This essay addresses the problem of how a person can interact with another within the ethnographic practice. Ethnographic research doesn’t consist only in dialogues but also in bodily experiences that have a key role in the production of ethnographic representations. Experiential anthropologists believe that w…

Case study of why information security investment fail?
2015
Tämä tutkielma keskittyy tietoturvainvestointien päätöksentekoprosessiin. Ta- voitteena on tutkia miksi tietoturvainvestointipäätös hylätään. Tutkimuksen teoreettinen tausta perustuu aiemmin suoritettuun tutkimukseen, mikä on pää- osin käsitellyt tietoturvainvestointeja joko optimaalisen investointitason näkö- kulmasta, tai tehokkaan investointitason näkökulmasta. Aiempi tutkimus ei ole käsitellyt tietoturvainvestointeja epäonnistuneen päätöksenteon näkökulmasta, eikä siten voi esittää perusteluita päätöksenteolle. Tämän tutkielman tuloksena esitetään teoreettisia väittämiä, jotka tarjoavat mahdollisia vastauksia tutki- muskysymykseen. Tämä tutkimus täydentää osaltaan akateemista kirjallisu…

Los resultados recomiendan diseñar cuidadosamente el proyecto de gestión de conocimiento teniendo en cuenta: (i) el propósito de la estrategia de gestión de conocimiento, (ii) el equipo coordinador del proyecto y la distribución de responsabilidades, y (iii) los requerimientos y restricciones organizativos, incluyendo proc…
Reflexions sorgides del Màster de Secundària entorn de demandes innovadores de l'educació lingüística
2011
Les reflexions sobre innovació en educació lingüística que es desgranen en aquest article estan directament extretes de la meva experiència acadèmica, curta però intensa, durant el treball desenvolupat amb el meu alumnat de l'especialitat de Llengües i Literatures del Màster en Professorat d'Educació Secundària en l'assignatura comuna als itineraris de les diferents procedències filològiques anomenada Innovació docent i iniciació a la investigació educativa. Són reflexions que inclouen, també, les riques percepcions que m'han aportat les alumnes i alumnes participants en les dues edicions d'aquest curs de postgrau a la meva universitat.
Critical evaluation of the necessary changes of the interaction of employers, employees, local authorities, state and other stakeholders of the educa…
2020
Expansion of business creates globalization, which should be balanced by the localization and development of adequate changes in education. Aim of the paper is to find the ways to solve the social problems linked with the globalization. The review of the existing problems reveals many shortcomings of the classical “free market” theory. The increased speed of exchange of information demands special care to improve the accessibility and quality of education, using life-long learning and distance education. The appropriate attitudes, skills and knowledge should be proposed to support innovations, localization of economics and organization of interaction between employers, employees and other i…
Self-Efficacy Between Previous and Current Mathematics Performance of Undergraduate Students: An Instrumental Variable Approach to Exposing a Causal …
2021
PurposeSelf-efficacy has been argued theoretically and shown empirically to be an essential construct for students’ improved learning outcomes. However, there is a dearth of studies on its causal effects on performance in mathematics among university students. Meanwhile, it will be erroneous to assume that results from other fields of studies generalize to mathematics learning due to the task-specificity of the construct. As such, attempts are made in the present study to provide evidence for a causal relationship between self-efficacy and performance with a focus on engineering students following a mathematics course at a Norwegian university.MethodThe adopted research design in the presen…
