On-line quizzes to evaluate comprehension and integration skills
2016
[EN] This work demonstrates the use of a 2.0 tool, namely, Socrative, to evaluate one of the cross-curricular competences indicated by the Universitat Politècnica de València, specifically, comprehension and integration. It has been applied to the courses in different areas: sciences, engineering and languages. As part of its implementation, activities were proposed that could be done at the beginning, during or at the end of the class to, on the one hand, help students acquire the knowledge associated with the course(s), and on the other, gather evidence that demonstrates acquisition of said competence. The results show a high level of satisfaction by the students with the use of the Socra…
Development of Computerized Adaptive Testing for Emotion Regulation
2020
Emotion regulation (ER) plays a vital role in individuals’ well-being and successful functioning. In this study, we attempted to develop a computerized adaptive testing (CAT) to efficiently evaluate ER, namely the CAT-ER. The initial CAT-ER item bank comprised 154 items from six commonly used ER scales, which were completed by 887 participants recruited in China. We conducted unidimensionality testing, item response theory (IRT) model comparison and selection, and IRT item analysis including local independence, item fit, differential item functioning, and item discrimination. Sixty-three items with good psychometric properties were retained in the final CAT-ER. Then, two CAT simulation stud…
MEASURING FIELD RILL ERODIBILITY BY A SIMPLIFIED METHOD
2016
Many process-oriented erosion prediction models reproduce rill erosion as affected by site-specific parameters, as for example, rill erodibility, and thus, their practical application requires the measurement of these parameters or their estimate. The aim of this paper was establishing a method for indirectly measuring field rill erodibility. A simple mathematical approach based on a known soil detachment equation and accounting for the rill erosion dynamic process is applied. Field measurements carried out for seven natural rainfall events occurring at the plots of the Sparacia experimental station, southern Italy, are used for indirectly measuring the rill erodibility of the investigated …
Validation and Measurement Invariance of the Scale of Positive and Negative Experience (SPANE) in a Spanish General Sample
2020
Este artículo se encuentra disponible en la siguiente URL: https://www.mdpi.com/1660-4601/17/22/8359 Este artículo pertenece a la sección "Health behavior, chronic disease and health promotion". Well-being has been measured based on di erent perspectives in positive psychology. However, it is necessary to measure a ects and emotions correctly and to explore the independence of positive and negative a ect. This cross-sectional study adapts and validates the Scale of Positive and Negative Experience (SPANE) with a non-probabilistic sample of 821 Spanish adults. A confirmatory factor analysis confirmed two related factors with two correlated errors. The average variance extracted was 0.502 for…
Adaptation and Measurement Invariance by Gender of the Flourishing Scale in a Colombian Sample
2021
There is increasing interest in the study of flourishing as an indicator of subjective wellbeing. The objective herein was to adapt and study the psychometric properties of Diener’s Flourishing Scale (FS) among the Colombian population. Accordingly, a cross-sectional study was conducted with a non-probability sample of 1255 Colombian adults. The scale’s structure, invariance by gender, and convergent and concurrent validity were studied from a confirmatory perspective using structural equation models. The confirmatory factor analysis showed excellent fit indicators for the one-dimensional structure (CFI = 0.985, RMSEA = 0.039, SRMR = 0.020) as well as for the convergent (CFI = 0.909, RMSEA …
Not All Academics Are Alike: First Validation of the Academics' Quality of Life at Work Scale (AQoLW)
2018
Background: Relating to the macro-level changes and the increasing complexity of the academic system, a growing number of studies began to investigate the perceived working context impact on well-being and job satisfaction of academics. A unique duality characterizes this context: academics cannot be longer defined as stress-free, but at the same time they are still satisfied and engaged in their work. There is a need to evaluate the academic environment not only in terms of stressor and strain, but also in terms of which experiences are sources of fulfillment. The study aimed to explore psychometric properties of a new instrument (AQoLW) for assessing context-specific features of the acade…

Pesquisa científica em contabilidade gerencial: estudo comparativo entre Espanha e Brasil
2012
Nas últimas décadas a contabilidade gerencial teve um desenvolvimento acentuado, com inclusão de novos temas e métodos de investigação, revistas exclusivas, e principalmente estudos com perspectivas multidisciplinares. Uma das formas de perceber e entender esse nível de desenvolvimento é estudar suas publicações nas principais revistas. Assim, o objetivo é realizar um estudo comparativo sobre contabilidade gerencial entre a Espanha e o Brasil. Para tanto, foram selecionados 421 artigos de sete revistas espanholas de contabilidade listadas no IN-RECS (Índice de Impacto das Revistas Espanholas de Ciências Sociais), e 245 artigos de seis revistas brasileiras listadas na Capes. Por tanto, anali…
Innovative educational program for biogas production carried out at University of Hradec Králové (CZ) and at University of Opole (PL)
2016
W ostatnim czasie rośnie nacisk na budowę biogazowni rolniczych, szczególnie w czesko-polskim regionie przygranicznym. Jest to region, gdzie występują duże obszary gruntów rolnych mogących służyć do zasilania biogazowni. Strategia ta powinna przyczynić się do harmonizacji wspólnej polityki rolnej Unii Europejskiej. W związku z powyższym wzrasta również potrzeba wykształcenia wykwalifikowanych operatorów tych stacji. Pierwsza część pracy obejmuje prezentację akademickiego programu edukacyjnego w dziedzinie fermentacji beztlenowej odpadów i wytwarzania biogazu pochodzącego z produkcji rolnej. Zaprezentowano część innowacyjnego podejścia, które wykorzystywane jest w programie nauczania „Pomiar…
