Características de la práctica físico-deportiva del alumnado con discapacidad de la Universitat de València

2015

En la actualidad, la actividad físico-deportiva es fundamental para las personas con discapacidad debido a los múltiples beneficios físicos, psicológicos y sociales que aporta (Patel y Greydanus, 2010; Slater y Meade, 2004). Estudiar las características de la práctica físico-deportiva de este colectivo puede ser útil para poder desarrollar estrategias y programas que mejoren y aumenten dicha práctica (Bragaru,van Wilgen, Geertzen, Ruijs, Dijsktra y Dekker, 2013). Pese a ello, apenas existen estudios de carácter cuantitativo sobre el tema. De acuerdo con las carencias señaladas, el objetivo de este trabajo es identificar la cuantía de la práctica físico-deportiva del alumnado con discapacida…

Tämä tutkielma käsittelee eri tiedekuntien opiskelijoiden ruotsin ja englannin kielen käyttöä opiskeluaikaisessa työelämässä sekä opiskelijoiden käsityksiä tulevaisuuden työelämän kielitai-totarpeista ja kielitaitovaatimuksista eri aloilla. Tutkimusmenetelmä on deskriptiivinen ja enimmäkseen kvalitatiivinen. Tutkimusaineisto ke-rättiin sähköisen kyselylomakkeen avulla keväällä 2012. Lomake lähetettiin kolmen eri tiede-kunnan opiskelijoille sähköpostilistojen kautta ja kyselyyn vastasi yhteensä 225 opiskelijaa. Tutkimukseni osoitti, että eri aloilla työskentelevät opiskelijat käyttävät sekä englantia että ruotsia etenkin suullisessa viestinnässä ja luetun ymmärtämisessä. Englantia käytetään …

Measuring territory student-attractiveness in Italy. Longitudinal evidence

2016

The aim of this paper is to investigate the factors affecting university student mobility in Italy in a longitudinal perspective, by considering the flows across competing territorial areas supplying tertiary education programs. The Bradley-Terry modelling approach based on pair comparisons has been adopted to define the attractiveness of competing territories and a range of determinants related to the socio-economic characteristics of the areas as well as universities’ resources. Data released by the Italian Ministry of Education (MiUR) are analysed for the academic years 2010/2011-2014/2015. The modelling approach considers score values for each territory and year, allowing to evaluate wh…

Special attention is paid to revealing such oppositions between an official and hidden curriculum as declared democracy, independence, eąuality versus autocracy, submissiveness and hierarchy. The examination of the official curriculum is based on an analysis of documents which determine fiinctioning of universities in Poland and the chosen university in particular. The hidden curriculum is examined through references to the experiences of students, revealed in the survey. Apart from a diagnosis of the situation, the paper offers some recommendations and examples of good prac…

Visualising the temporal aspects of collaborative inquiry-based learning processes in technology-enhanced physics learning

2018

This study presents new ways of visualising technology-enhanced collaborative inquiry-based learning (CIBL) processes in an undergraduate physics course. The data included screen-capture videos from a technology-enhanced learning environment and audio recordings of discussions between students. We performed a thematic analysis based on the phases of inquiry-based learning (IBL). The thematic analysis was complemented by a content analysis, in which we analysed whether the utilisation of technological tools was on a deep-level, surface-level, or nonexistent basis. Student participation was measured in terms of frequency of contributions as well as in terms of impact. We visualised the sequen…

How the sociological environement of university residence affects making friendship and students' academic success

2013

By means of a theoretical model, this research investigated how the socioecological environment of university residence affects making friendship in the latter and students' academic success. The model contain four physical-environmental characteristics (distal variables): type of university residence (traditional, conventional), the location (outside or in the city center), and percentages of girls and of advantaged students. It also includes three social climate dimensions of university residence: Order and organization, Cohesion, and Open-mindedness (proximal variables, Bennacer, 2005). Making friendship and students' academic success were estimated, respectively, by following items: "Di…

The impact of regional demographics on Higher Education Policy. An example from Silesia, Poland

2021

Abstract The determinants of higher education policy have their sources in various spheres, such as economic, social, educational, national policy, administrative, and demographic. Problems for the development of higher education also stem from these spheres. One of them is the challenging demographic situation that is a significant element of developing higher education in southern Poland (particuarly in the Silesia region). Given this context, this article aims to indicate the policies of the universities in the region which respond to the existing demographic threats. This relationship is to confront student opinions regarding their vision for their education and future career within the…

Developing Students Well-Being and Engagement in Higher Education during COVID-19—A Case Study of Web-Based Learning in Finland

2023

COVID-19 rapidly and extensively changed the normal everyday practices of societies, and there is no going back to the past. Universities also had to adapt and re-establish their normal routines, from policies to practices. In this article, we explore university students’ experiences of web-based learning, their well-being, and engagement during the pandemic. As a theoretical framework, we use the concept of the university student engagement inventory (USEI), which includes behavioral, cognitive, and emotional dimensions. The data were collected during the COVID-19 pandemic from university students (N = 35) via an online survey and analyzed using a thematic content analysis. According to th…
