Editorial : Networks Applied in Science Education Research

2020

Science education research is, in many ways, involved with exploring relational aspects of diverse elements that affect students’ learning outcomes; at one end, the elements may be concepts to be learned, and at the other end, the relations between students in different types of learning settings and environments and, ultimately, how such elements may interact [...]

Subtitling and dubbing as teaching resources for learning English as a foreign language using Clipflair software

2020

[EN] The research validity of using clips as audiovisual material to teach a foreign language has been demonstrated by many scholars. At the same time, the combination of this material with two modalities of audiovisual translation (AVT) - subtitling and dubbing- is worth exploring. The aim of this study is to present the effectiveness of subtitling and dubbing activities as tools for teaching English as a foreign language. In order to do so, a number of participants from the University of Valencia (Spain) whose level of English was B2/B2+ were engaged in a combination of subtitling and dubbing activities. I devised a series of tasks based on a two-minute subtitled video-clip, designed to i…

A loss of status and a sense of defeat

2007

This longitudinal study among Spanish teachers (N = 558) examined burnout from an evolutionary social rank perspective. The types of stress differed among various school levels, and a sense of defeat was highest among teachers in primary schools. A low status, a loss of status and a sense of defeat were independent cross‐sectional predictors of burnout. Longitudinally a sense of defeat predicted an increase in burnout over time, especially among males and teachers in high schools. The status related variables were in general more important predictors of burnout than stressors that are usually associated with burnout. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Improvements in Mindfulness Facets Mediate the Alleviation of Burnout Dimensions

2020

Abstract Objectives While interventions using mindfulness have been effective in treating burnout, the mechanisms of change need more research. This study investigated which of five mindfulness facets (observing, describing, acting with awareness, non-judging, and non-reacting) mediated the intervention effects on three burnout dimensions (exhaustion, cynicism, and reduced professional efficacy) during an 8-week mindfulness-, acceptance-, and value-based (MAV) intervention and a 10-month follow-up. Methods The participants were a heterogeneous sample of employees suffering from burnout (n = 202, 80% women, mean age = 47.5 years). Latent change score modeling was conducted for each combinati…

Ficciones inmunitarias. Sobre la lógica de la inmunidad en la cultura contemporánea

2018

This article develops the concept of “immunitarian fiction” taking as paradigmatic examples epidemics and zombie narratives, which share the idea of contagion as the main matrix of their narrative. The article tries to address the following question: in what way do these fictions, and other similar ones, participate in the imaginary of immunity and, at the same time, show some of their internal contradictions? For this, the text reflects on a set of cultural products of mass diffusion (novels, television series, cinematographic works). We analyze, in the first place, how these fictions highlight the fears and social anxieties linked to the tensions of the “immune paradigm” and represent the…

Sozialstaatsvorstellungen im Wandel? Stabilität, Anpassungsprozesse und Anspruchszunahme zwischen 1976 und 2010

2016

Bitte die Zusammenfassung streichen und durch folgende neue Zusammenfassung ersetzen: Im Mittelpunkt dieses Beitrags steht die Analyse der Entwicklung der Sozialstaatsvorstellungen der Bundesburger. Konkret werden drei Fragen untersucht: 1) Wie haben sich die bereichsspezifischen Sozialstaatsvorstellungen von Mitte der 1970er Jahre bis 2010 entwickelt, bei welchen Aufgabenbereichen lasst sich ein Wandel beobachten und welches Muster – Reduktion oder Zunahme der gewunschten Staatsverantwortung – zeichnet sich ab? 2) Bei welchen bereichsspezifischen Sozialstaatsvorstellungen lasst sich nach der deutschen Vereinigung eine Abnahme der Ost-West-Unterschiede beobachten? 3) Kann eine solche Abnahm…

Vers une gouvernance d'entreprise effectuale ?

2017

L’effectuation, une forme de rationalite des acteurs mise en avant par Saras Sarasvathy et Herbert Simon, trouve de plus en plus d’applications, notamment dans le domaine de l’entrepreneuriat. Cette rationalite s’applique particulierement lors de la creation d’opportunites d’investissement. L’objectif de cet article est de s’interroger sur les mecanismes favorisant les prises de decision suivant une rationalite effectuale permettant ainsi d’elaborer les fondements d’une gouvernance d’entreprise « effectuale ». Les limites des theories de la gouvernance d’entreprise actuelles sont d’abord mises en avant de facon a montrer ensuite comment integrer l’effectuation. Les specificites d’une gouver…

L'efficacité des privatisations françaises : une vision dynamique à travers la théorie de la gouvernance

2004

International audience; A reading of the process of privatization through the corporate governance theory leads to propose a model taking into account, on the one hand, the time dimension of the process of privatization, on the other hand, the contextual, organizational, governance and strategic variables which influence this process. After replicating some traditional tests, we test this model on a sample of French privatized firms and on a seven years horizon. The positive effect traditionally attributed to privatizations is not confirmed. The importance of the effect is subordinated to some of the suggested variables.; Une lecture du processus de privatisation à travers la théorie de la …
