Student voice in learning assessment: a pathway not yet developed at university
2012
During 2009/2010, the current research was conducted with the aim of analysing student and teaching staff on regarding student participation in assessment. A content analysis of 76 subject outlines was carried out, and then 40 member of the teaching staff and 614 university students were surveyed. The results of the content analysis prove there is a shortage of information about and programming for student participation in assessment. Durante el curso 2009/2010 se llevó a cabo esta investigación con el objetivo de analizar la opinión y perspectiva que profesores y estudiantes universitarios tienen sobre la participación de estos últimos en el proceso de evaluación. Se realizó un análisis de…
Jusqu'où peut-on comparer les apprentissages scolaires ?
2007
The pertinent review for the early knowledge learning in school and their links with quality matters is a complex issue, expressly in a comparative approach when crossing the variety on the range for economic development. But the increasingly frequent reference for a universal basic knowledge, in a connection with a claim concerning a global convergence, as a necessity in self determination for everyone to apply for a minimum level in literacy, raises the question whereby the comparative description of the factors of effectiveness of the school. In this note, the objective is only centred on the concerns for a comparison in measurement relating to results of a common school test led to pupi…
Agronomic evaluation and quality characterization of lentil accessions (Lens culinaris L.) in a Mediterranean environment
2013
Agronomic evaluation and quality characterization of lentil accessions (Lens culinaris L.) in a Mediterranean environmentLentil (Lens culinaris Medik.) is an important grain legume cultivated in the Mediterranean region and used for human nutrition. An extensive differentiation of lentil over millennia has permitted the evolution of many landraces. These ecotypes often are the result of centuries of selective choices by local farmers and are characterized by high genetic variability and high adaptation to different environmental conditions. Presently, lentil is mainly cultivated in marginal areas of Central and Southern Italy and in Sicily small cultivation has permitted the evolution of lo…
Repeated exposure of fluazinam fungicides affects gene expression profiles yet carries no costs on a nontarget pest
2021
Fungicides are used to control pathogenic fungi of crop species, but they have also been shown to alter behavioral, life history and fitness related traits of non-target insects. Here, we tested the fungicide effects on feeding behavior, survival and physiology of the non-target pest insect, the Colorado potato beetle (Leptinotarsa decemlineata). Feeding behavior was studied by a choice test of adult beetles, which were allowed to choose between a control and a fungicide (fluazinam) treated potato leaf. Larval survival was recorded after 24-hour and 72-hour exposure to control and fungicide-treated leaves with two different concentrations. The adults did not show fungicide avoidance behavio…
Beneficios de la Evaluación Dinámica para la Prueba Final de Bachillerato
2014
Partiendo del análisis de las deficiencias detectadas en la Prueba de Acceso a la Universidad actual, este artículo realiza un análisis de los factores incidentales externos al examen, propone un sistema moderno de evaluación de lenguas como la evaluación dinámica, y estudia las ventajas y desventajas de su aplicación a la Prueba Final de Bachillerato. Las propuestas aquí realizadas se relacionan con el proyecto OPENPAU (FFI2011-22442) de un consorcio de 8 universidades para la revisión de la Prueba de Acceso a la Universidad.
Documentação digital da arte rupestre: apresentação e avaliação do método em dois sítios de Monte Alegre, Amazônia, Brasil
2013
Um dos aspectos mais importantes no estudo da arte rupestre é a documentação. No Brasil, são raros os trabalhos que apresentam os métodos e as técnicas empregados na documentação deste tipo de vestígio arqueológico. Grande parte dos estudos publicados no país está voltada para a classificação, a terminologia, as definições crono-estilísticas, interpretações e comparações entre conjuntos gráficos. Atualmente, a fotografia digital e os programas de manipulação de imagem constituem ferramentas de grande utilidade e precisão para a documentação da arte rupestre. Este artigo apresenta os resultados da aplicação do método do decalque digital na Amazônia, desenvolvido pelo Departamento de Arqueolo…
EVALUATIVE LANGUAGE IN SPOKEN AND SIGNED STORIES TOLD BY A DEAF CHILD WITH A COCHLEAR IMPLANT: WORDS, SIGNS OR PARALINGUISTIC EXPRESSIONS?
2011
In this paper the use and quality of the evaluative language produced by a bilingual child in a story-telling situation is analysed. The subject, an 11-year-old Finnish boy, Jimmy, is bilingual in Finnish sign language (FinSL) and spoken Finnish. He was born deaf but got a cochlear implant at the age of five. The data consist of a spoken and a signed version of “The Frog Story”. The analysis shows that evaluative devices and expressions differ in the spoken and signed stories told by the child. In his Finnish story he uses mostly lexical devices – comments on a character and the character’s actions as well as quoted speech occasionally combined with prosodic features. In his FinSL story he…
Casi di corruzione nei Rerum Gestarum libri di Ammiano Marcellino
2020
The paper provides food for thought on the issue of corruption in Ammianus Marcellinus’ History pointing out the need for revising the criteria of valuation of this phenomenology in order to assess it in modern conceptual terms. As a consequence Ammianus’ Res Gestae have to be analysed moving from the political, economic and social contexts as they stem not only from historiographical sources, but also from the Codes, enabling scholars to test the level of bias of the historian who was stubbornly anchored to the values of tradition that, in his opinion, coincided with the ordo’s privileges.
El desarrollo de un programa de evaluación online para la preparación de la versión informatizada del First Certificate in English
2012
Las exigencias actuales de la sociedad global de la comunicación han llevado a un gran número de exámenes oficiales de idiomas a adoptar el formato informatizado e incluso online, como ocurre con Cambridge First Certificate in English (FCE). El surgimiento de su versión informatizada hace que aumente la demanda de materiales preparatorios y de evaluación de calidad que tengan en cuenta las características del nuevo formato de examen, planteando ejercicios en concordancia. En este contexto se ha desarrollado el programa preparatorio y de evaluación InGenio FCE Online Tester, en el seno del grupo de investigación CAMILLE, del Departamento de Lingüística Aplicada de la Universitat Politècnica …
Positive self-evaluation versus negative other-evaluation in the political genre of pre-election debates.
2014
The present study explores the language of evaluation in a sub-genre of political discourse, pre-electoral debates, and its potential persuasive function for gaining voters via a contraposition of positive self-evaluation and negative evaluation of the other candidate. A further aim of this research is to check whether the candidate’s ideology has a bearing on the entities that get evaluated. After a brief examination of the characteristics of the sub-genre at hand, specifically in the Spanish context, we present the results of an evaluation analysis carried out in a corpus of 19,849 words, which is the extension of the most recent pre-electoral debate held in Spain between the candidates …
