An empirical study of the understanding of formal propositions about sequences, with a focus on infinite limits
2018
International audience; In this paper, we analyze the answers of one group of high-school students and two groups of first-year University students to a questionnaire designed to test their level of recognition and understanding of the formal definition of the concept of infinite limit. Although this empirical study is ancillary to a larger project centred on didactic engineering, its analysis sheds light on the key issue of the logical prerequisites for the learning of the fundamental concepts of analysis. It also provides a new tool to investigate students' concept-image of limits, and assess the impact of teaching contexts and teaching paths.
"It’s useful but challenging, and it’s not for everyone" : motivational and practical reasons behind Finnish upper secondary students’ decision to no…

Suomessa opiskellaan enenevässä määrin vain kahta kieltä opetuskielen lisäksi. Syitä tähän kehityskulkuun on etsitty mm. kielikoulutuksen rahoituksen leikkauksista muuttuneisiin asenteisiin, mutta mitään yksittäistä ratkaisevaa tekijää ei ole löydetty. Myöskään tilanteen korjaamiseksi aloitetut kieliohjelmat eivät ole onnistuneet vaikuttamaan toivotusti pitkällä aikavälillä. Tämän tutkimuksen tarkoituksena on tutkia asiaa opiskelumotivaation näkökulmasta. Motivaatiolla on todettu olevan myönteinen vaikutus oppimistuloksiin, joten sen ymmärtäminen antaa mahdollisuuksia tukea oppijoita ja heidän tarpeitaan. Tutkimus toteutettiin kyselynä, johon osallistui 109 suomenkielistä koulua käyvää luki…
Hippocampal electrical stimulation disrupts associative learning when targeted at dentate spikes
2017
Hippocampal electrophysiological oscillations, namely theta and ripples, have been implicated in encoding and consolidation of new memories, respectively. According to existing literature, hippocampal dentate spikes are prominent, short‐duration (<30 ms), large‐amplitude (∼2–4 mV) fluctuations in hilar local‐field potentials that take place during awake immobility and sleep. Interestingly, previous studies indicate that during dentate spikes dentate gyrus granule cells increase their firing while firing of CA1 pyramidal cells are suppressed, thus resulting in momentary uncoupling of the two hippocampal subregions. To date, the behavioural significance of dentate spikes is unknown. Here, to …
Are all denumerable sets of numbers order-isomorphic?
2018
International audience; In this paper we study cognitive conflicts on the issue of number sets being dense, ordered and denumerable. We first provide historical-epistemological background related to these notions. Then we consider the cognitive conflicts under the lenses of concept image and concept definition, which we use to analyse empirical data collected in order to understand better the didactical and cognitive issues at stake.
Missions interculturals: una experiència de desenvolupament comunitari a les comarques de Castelló
2014
Les Missions Interculturals és un projecte de participació comunitària en educació, cultura i desenvolupament local que té com a objectius contribuir a la consecució d'una societat inclusiva i fomentar el desenvolupament local. El present article és una descripció del procés viscut durant la primera edició del projecte, el qual ha tingut lloc en les poblacions de Vilanova d'Alcolea i Sant Mateu (Castelló, Espanya). Exposem, en primer lloc, els conceptes teòrics que han guiat tot el procés: l'educació inclusiva, la democràcia radical, l'aprenentatge cooperatiu, la interculturalitat i el nomadisme cultural. A continuació es descriuen les successives fases del projecte: diagnòstic local, sensi…
IMAGE ORIENTATION WITH A HYBRID PIPELINE ROBUST TO ROTATIONS AND WIDE-BASELINES
2022
Abstract. The extraction of reliable and repeatable interest points among images is a fundamental step for automatic image orientation (Structure-From-Motion). Despite recent progresses, open issues in challenging conditions - such as wide baselines and strong light variations - are still present. Over the years, traditional hand-crafted methods have been paired by learning-based approaches, progressively updating the state-of-the-art according to recent benchmarks. Notwithstanding these advancements, learning-based methods are often not suitable for real photogrammetric surveys due to their lack of rotation invariance, a fundamental requirement for these specific applications. This paper p…
Space and Time in Hybrid Teaching and Learning Environments : Two Cases and Design Principles
2022
The opportunities and challenges of teaching and learning in the same and different space and time have been discussed in the field of distance education for several decades. Within COVID-19, a new type of experimenting and research interest in so-called hybrid learning has emerged. In this article, we present the results from exploring “hybridity” from the perspective of classical categorizations of different forms of learning in terms of time and space. We explored the phenomenon through two cases with the same high-level strategic objective, serving hybrid interaction. In case A, we evaluated university library spaces renovated to serve hybrid teaching and learning. In case B, the focus …
A design framework and principles for co-designing learning environments fostering learning and wellbeing
2018
Increased understanding of the complex synergetic influences of psychosocial and physical learning environments (LEs) on learning and wellbeing has drawn attention to their careful design. Contemporary learner-centred educational paradigms emphasise the importance of learner involvement in the LE design. A gap exists, however, between the theoretical discourses of LE design and their application into educational practice. Furthermore, a lack of shared conceptual understanding among studies conducted in different cultural and disciplinary contexts undermines the comparability, generalisability, and build-up of a coherent body of knowledge on the LE design. This educational design research re…

Designing for language learning: agency and languaging in hybrid environments
2014
Since the beginning of the 21st Century, we have witnessed a remarkable shift in the ways learning takes place across networks, multiple sites and timescales. As the world changes, language teaching is facing growing pressures to rethink and redesign language learning environments to respond to the demands of the ‘knowledge society’. While new digitally enhanced learning spaces offer new affordances to language teachers and learners, they also increase the complexity of language teaching and learning. Furthermore, it has become evident that the affordances of new tools and spaces for learning are not always realised in formal education. Language teachers, who are willing to embrace new tech…
