Assessment of Academic Literacy

2015

La alfabetización académica se ha convertido en uno de los objetivos de la Educación Superior, donde la escritura se transforma en una herramienta de aprendizaje. El Marco Español de Cualificaciones para la Educación Superior (MECES) gradúa los resultados de aprendizaje esperados en los estudiantes universitarios en relación a la alfabetización académica en los títulos oficiales de Grado, Máster y Doctorado. La evaluación de la alfabetización académica se plantea como una comunidad de discurso donde el objeto y objetivo, las tareas, las modalidades, los criterios y los estándares de evaluación se centran en el proceso de la escritura epistémica en un contexto académico. Una evaluación para …

Acceptance of Mobile Health Apps for Disease Management Among People With Multiple Sclerosis: Web-Based Survey Study

2018

Background: Mobile health (mHealth) apps might have the potential to promote self-management of people with multiple sclerosis (MS) in everyday life. However, the uptake of MS apps remains poor, and little is known about the facilitators and barriers for their efficient utilization, such as technology acceptance. Objective: The aim of this study was to examine the acceptance of mHealth apps for disease management in the sense of behavioral intentions to use and explore determinants of utilization among people with MS based on the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT). Methods: Participants for this Web-based cross-sectional study were recruited throughout Germany with t…

How accurate are teachers and support specialists when judging students' literacy skills? Special educational service as an external factor influenci…

2022

The aim of the study was to examine the accuracy of Estonian teachers' and support specialists' judgements of students' spelling skills and reading fluency and to investigate the provision of special education services to students as a factor influencing teachers' judgements. The sample included 11 classroom teachers, 8 support specialists, and 187 third-grade students. The judgements were collected using scales, and students' literacy skills were assessed using group and individual tests. The results indicated that judgements of reading fluency were less accurate than those of spelling skills. In addition, the provision of special education services influenced teachers' judgements, directi…

Introductory commentary : Lived experiences of qur’anic schooling in Scandinavia

2019

Reading the contributions to this special issue, it is striking how little research has hitherto been conducted on qur’anic schooling and Qur’an faith literacy practices in Scandinavia, despite it being well-known that the Qur’an schools constitute important religious and social meeting points for many Muslim faith members (e.g., Risenfors, Gurdal, & Sorbring 2011). In all of the Scandinavian countries, numerous children and adolescents regularly attend qur’anic schooling from a very young age. As argued by Day and Rogaly (2014), shared Islamic faith literacy practices and participation in qur’anic schooling thus contribute to creating a sense of social belonging and coherence for many fait…

La evaluación del abuso sexual en personas con discapacidad intelectual: proceso de construcción y validación de un instrumento de autoinforme

2018

Las personas con diversidad funcional presentan ciertas limitaciones en el funcionamiento desu día a día, lo que les convierten en dependientes de sus cuidadores principales, quedando su cuerpo expuesto a ellos. Además, presentan menos recursos para detectar y defenderse ante situaciones de abuso. Estos factores, entre otros, hacen que se conviertan en un colectivo vulnerable al abuso sexual. Pero en la detección de las víctimas potenciales, nos encontramos con limitaciones en comprensión y lectoescritura, lo que hace cuestionar la fiabilidad de la información obtenida. El objetivo de este estudio, es la elaboración de un instrumento fiable y válido que se adapte a las características de la…

La evaluación de la sexualidad de las personas con discapacidad intelectual: construcción y descripción de una entrevista semiestructurada

2020

Si bien las personas con discapacidad intelectual experimentan la misma necesidad de intimidad que el resto, una serie de barreras sociales impiden la expresión de su sexualidad alentando a que se les perciba como seres asexuales. Por ello, durante mucho tiempo las voces de las personas con discapacidad no han sido escuchadas, lo que conlleva que actualmente exista una escasez de herramientas de evaluación para explorar los diferentes aspectos de la sexualidad de este colectivo teniendo en cuenta sus limitaciones en lectoescritura y comprensión. El objetivo de este estudio es la elaboración de una entrevista semiestructurada fiable y válida que contemple las características de las personas …

The relationship between migration background and knowledge and understanding of personal finance of young adults in Germany

2019

Abstract Financial knowledge and understanding is needed to function well in society; however, young people with a migration background in Germany have been found to perform worse on tests of financial knowledge than those without. Very little investigation has been made into the relationship between financial knowledge and language ability, and ostensibly no in-depth investigation has been made into the connection between frequency of use of the local language and how it correlates to performance on such tests. In this paper we examine the relationship between migration background and knowledge and understanding of personal finance of young adults in Germany. We administered a validated Ge…

2015

Współcześnie umiejętności finansowe wydają się niezbędne do prawidłowego uczestnictwa w rynku usług finansowych. W obliczu procesu finansjalizacji niewystarczająca wiedza finansowa może prowadzić do poważnych konsekwencji, w tym do wykluczenia finansowego. Świadomość finansowa może być definiowana jako zjawisko związane z byciem świadomym zdarzeń i procesów finansowych i posiadaniem zdolności do zbadania i oceny tych zjawisk lub jako zespół cech psychologicznych umożliwiających kontrolowanie swoich zachowań finansowych. Wiedza finansowa jest częścią świadomości finansowej. Niniejszy artykuł pokazuje, w jaki sposób wiedza i świadomość finansowa są odpowiedzialne za wykluczenie finansowe zdia…

“If you take away my phone, you take away my life...” Community Narratives about the Social Implications of Mobile phone Usage for Livelihood Security

2019

Smallholder farmers in developing regions like sub-Saharan Africa still grapple with development challenges like poverty, illiteracy, food insecurity, poor infrastructures like roads and limited access to learning opportunities. Moreover, amidst all these challenges, these possess mobile phones as they continuously engage in diverse livelihood activities. Echoed in previous research, mobile phones are the most diffused technologies available in many rural communities. Yet, most mobile technological interventions are urban-based projects neglecting rural locales in harnessing mobile phone usage. More so, mobile for development research uses quantitative methods which limits proper interrogat…
