HOW TO IMPROVE METACOGNITION IN PRIMARY SCHOOL
2014
Educational and psychological research in the past decade has found that metacognitive capacity starts earlier than was initially realized; is more amenable to educational intervention than was previously thought; can be taught to a wide range of learners; and is both inherently contextual and a unique capacity that is distinguishable from intelligence, cognitive processes and motivation. In this paper we will see how metacognition can be improved in primary school pupils when teachers use instructional strategies that encourage meaningful learning, stimulate metacognitive reflection and provide continuous feedback. The purpose of this article is to explore the notion of metacognition with …

Ekonomiskās krīzes metaforika Spānijas un Latvijas presē. Salīdzinošā analīze
2015
Maģistra darbs "Ekonomiskās krīzes metaforika Spānijas un Latvijas presē. Salīdzinošā analīze" ir veltīts konceptuālās metaforas fenomenam politiskajā diskursā ekonomiskās krīzes kontekstā. Darba mērķis ir izpētīt, vai Latvijas un Spānijas presē ir novērojamas līdzīgas tendences metaforas lietojumā, atspoguļojot neseno (2008-2013) ekonomisko krīzi abās valstīs, un kas ir kopīgs abiem avotiem. Pielietojot Leikofa (Lakoff) un Džonsona (Johnson) (1980) konceptuālās metaforas teoriju, empīriska pētījuma rezultātā tika konstatēts, ka Spānijas un Latvijas prese vairāk kā 90% gadījumu, izmantojušas vienas un tās pašas konceptuālās metaforas, no kurām lielākā daļa ir strukturālas, vispārpieņemtas, …
Lakoff & Johnson lettori di Blumenberg? L'eredità della metaforologia nella teoria della metafora concettuale
2022
This paper aims at showing the analogies between Hans Blumenberg’s Metaphorology and George Lakoff & Mark Johnson’s Conceptual Metaphor Theory. Starting from the analysis of the proportion for which ABSOLUTE METAPHOR: METAPHORICAL EXPRESSIONS = BACKGROUND METAPHOR: CONCEPTUAL METAPHOR, we propose to compare Blumenberg’s Metaphorology with Lakoff & Johnson’s Conceptual Metaphor Theory, outlining similarities and differences in reference to: (a) the fundamental notions on which the two theories are based, (b) the methods and (c) the relationship between language-thought-culture assumed by the two theories. However, the reconstruction of the relation between the two theoretical paradig…
METAPHOR IN THE XXth CENTURY: TWO WAYS OF INTERPRETING THE CONCEPT
2018
Resumen El objetivo de este artículo es resumir, a través del análisis de las fuentes teóricas principales, el desarrollo de dos tradiciones en la interpretación de la metáfora. Simbólicamente las podemos denominar: 1) Visión formalista, centrada en la descripción de los rasgos de la metáfora, su estructura formal y las funciones que desempeña en un texto o un discurso; y 2) Visión pragmática y cognitiva que propone comprender la metáfora en relación con la situación comunicativa, mostrando también su papel como una de las cadenas básicas del pensamiento humano. Abstract The aim of this article is to summarize, through the analysis of the main theoretical sources, the development of two way…
Rethinking visual art practice in relation to well-being : a conceptual analysis
2015
This study examines how the concepts related to visual art practice and well-being have been used in the arts and academic sectors. Furthermore, it studies whether it is possible to create a new theoretical and conceptual framework for research. The research material of the arts and academic sectors was examined by the methods of critical review and conceptual analysis. The conceptual analysis led to the following main results: The employment of the concepts concerning the practice of visual arts was diverse, often overlapping, and in some respects incoherent. Both the concepts of ‘art’ and ‘well-being’ were mostly used as reasoning with generalizations. This strategy of discourse was conce…
Bedrock and soil geochemistry influence the content of chemical elements in wild edible mushrooms (Morchella group) from South Italy (Sicily)
2019
Chemical elements in the samples of wild edible mushrooms of the <em>Morchella</em> group collected from different unpolluted Sicilian sites was analyzed by the ICP-MS (method) to detect the content of their minerals and determine whether soil geology and geochemistry can influence the chemical composition in fungi. Results showed that the mushroom samples mainly contained a high concentration of K and P and a wide variety of minor and trace elements (V, Mo, Pb, Ce, Cs, Zr), including heavy metals. Statistical analysis showed that the mushrooms differed in their content of minor and trace elements based on the geological/geographic site of origin. Comparison with other studies s…
Przekonania o sobie i świecie nieletnich przebywających w placówkach resocjalizacyjnych
2019
Celem przeprowadzonych badań było rozpoznanie adaptacyjnych i dezadaptacyjnych przekonań ułatwiających lub utrudniających funkcjonowanie młodzieży w życiu społecznym. Badania przeprowadzono wśród 146 wychowanków placówek resocjalizacyjnych i 134 uczniów szkół gimnazjalnych oraz ponadgimnazjalnych (grupa porównawcza). W artykule zaprezentowano część wyników badań uzyskanych za pomocą Skali orientacji pozytywnej (w polskiej adaptacji Marioli Łaguny, Piotra Olesia i Doroty Filipiuk) i Skali wiary w grę o sumie zerowej (autorstwa Joanny Różyckiej i Bogdana Wojciszke). Orientacja pozytywna to wymiar osobowości decydujący o skłonności jednostki do odbierania i przetwarzania informacji o sobie i ś…
Patterns of word reading skill, interest and self-concept of ability
2016
AbstractThe majority of previous research on academic skills, self-concept of ability and interest has deployed the variable-oriented approach and focused on self-concept, or ability, or interest only. This study examined the patterns and dynamics of pattern change in Finnish children’s word reading skill, self-concept of ability and interest from kindergarten to Grade 2. Six groups of children were identified by using the I-states as objects analysis (ISOA) procedure: (a) low skills, negative self-concept but high interest; (b) high skills but low interest; (c) average; (d) high skills, positive self-concept and high interest; (e) low skills, negative self-concept and low interest; and (f)…
