"Sam meets Alicia, falls in love, gets her pregnant, and starts having doubts" : dating and sex in English high school textbooks
2015
Onnellisuus ja tyytyväisyys elämään ovat länsimaisille ihmisille keskeisiä tavoitteita. Useat tutkimukset ovat toistuvasti osoittaneet että ihmissuhteilla on suuri merkitys näiden tavoitteiden saavuttamiselle. Koulujen oppikirjateksteillä on mahdollisuus esitellä hyviä ihmissuhdemalleja, joita oppilaat voivat halutessaan soveltaa omissa elämissään. Seurustelusuhteiden kuvauksista oppikirjoissa ei kuitenkaan ole tehty selvityksiä, vaikka seurustelu onkin ajankohtainen ja merkityksellinen aihe useille lukioikäisille. Tässä tutkimuksessa selvitettiin miten seurustelusuhteita käsitellään Suomen kouluissa englannin opiskeluun käytetyissä Open Road -kirjasarjan osissa 1–3. Tutkimusmetodina on Jam…
Internasjonalisering av forskning : endrede rammebetingelser og lokal tilpasning
2005
This article illustrates traditional and emerging patterns of internationalisation of research. The article identifies changing national and international conditions for research, and analyses the actual research practices among scientific personnel. The study covers the permanent scientific staff of four Norwegian universities, three poly-technical universities, and Agder University College. The empirical analysis builds on survey and interview data among permanent scientific staff as well as supplementary documentary materiel. Internationalisation of research is theoretically illuminated by two approaches – one organisation theory perspective and one institutional approach. The empirical …
Influenza dei percorsi formativi sulle conoscenze di infezioni da HIV, HBV e HCV nella pratica odontoiatrica
2005
The knowledge and preventive practices toward the risk of infection with HIV, HBV and HCV were evaluated in a sample of 254 dentists and odontostomatologies in Palermo, by answering to an anonymous questionnaire sent by mail. Overall, most of the participants showed a good knowledge of the transmission pattern of blood-borne viruses as well as good practice for personal hygiene (washing of hands, routine use of gloves, etc.). However 80.8% answered to recap needles after use and more than 40% have had at least one needle injury during the last year in their occupational setting. Moreover, nearly 24% of the interviewed declared to have not made vaccination against Hepatitis B virus infection…
Influencia de la formación y la investigación didáctica del profesorado de ciencias sobre su práctica docente
2021
Este trabajo analiza las relaciones entre la formación, la investigación en didáctica y la práctica docente del profesorado de ciencias de secundaria. La muestra no probabilística está formada por 55 profesores de secundaria. La metodología elegida es de tipo mixto (cuantitativo-cualitativo) y utiliza tres instrumentos complementarios: un cuestionario, un protocolo de observación en el aula y una entrevista. Los resultados de los cuestionarios muestran dos tipos de formación en didáctica de las ciencias: activa y estándar. Las observaciones y las entrevistas ponen de manifiesto la existencia de dos tipologías docentes con grandes diferencias entre ellas en lo referente a estrategias de ense…
Training needs of teachers in ICT: Training profiles and elements of complexity
2011
Training needs of teachers in Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) is one of the key aspects for the integration of ICT in daily educational practice, along with competences in ICT and the use of these technological resources by teachers. The aim of this paper is to establish teacher training profiles and relate them to their competences in ICT and the use thereof, together with personal and contextual factors. To this end, it has been used a survey design, with the sample 868 teachers from primary and secondary education in the Comunidad Valenciana. The instrument for collecting information is a questionnaire. The results indicate that teachers demand higher-level training in p…
Las necesidades formativas del profesorado en TIC: perfiles formativos y elementos de complejidad
2011
Las necesidades formativas del profesorado en las Tecnologías de la Información y de la Comunicación (TIC) se constituyen como uno de los aspectos claves para la integración de las TIC en la práctica educativa diaria, junto con las competencias en TIC y el uso de estos recursos tecnológicos por parte del profesorado. El objetivo de este artículo es establecer perfiles formativos del profesorado y relacionarlos con sus competencias en TIC y el uso de las mismas, junto con factores personales y contextuales. Para ello, se ha utilizado un diseño de encuesta, con una muestra de 868 profesores y profesoras de Educación Primaria y Secundaria de la Comunidad Valenciana, siendo el instrumento de re…
Defining as discursive practice in transition – Upper secondary students reinvent the formal definition of convergent sequences
2018
International audience; The investigation of limits is at the heart of analysis at university. Accordingly, it is a worthwhile topic for transition courses. The present study engages upper secondary students in reinventing the definition of convergent sequences. Using a commognitive framework, the central development stages of the definition from experiential to abstract are empirically investigated in terms of activated secondary school discourses. The students' familiarity with secondary school discourses is critical, as it allows them to transition from grasping processes with metaphors towards grasping them as formal and abstract objects. For this, school objects act as intermediate s…
Unscrambling the Average User of Habbo Hotel
2007
The “user” is an ambiguous concept in human-computer interaction and information systems. Analyses of users as social actors, participants, or configured users delineate approaches to studying design-use relationships. Here, a developer’s reference to a figure of speech, termed the “average user,” is contrasted with design guidelines. The aim is to create an understanding about categorization practices in design through a case study about the virtual community, Habbo Hotel. A qualitative analysis highlighted not only the meaning of the “average user,” but also the work that both the developer and the category contribute to this meaning. The average user a) represents the unknown, b) influen…
PAROLE MIGRANTI TRA ORIENTE E OCCIDENTE
2015
L’immagine che oggi il Mediterraneo offre è lungi dall’essere rassicurante. Ai nostri giorni si può dire che le sue opposte rive non abbiano in comune che le loro insoddisfazioni. E sempre più si percepisce questo mare come spazio di attraversamenti intollerati. Percepire il Mediterraneo partendo dal suo passato rimane tuttavia un’abitudine tenace, e a volte viene da pensare che la retrospettiva prevalga sulla prospettiva. La retrospettiva è però irrinunciabile, oggi più che mai. E lo è nel momento in cui la realizzazione di una convivenza in seno ai territori multietnici, là dove si incrociano e si mescolano culture, religioni, lingue diverse, conosce sotto i nostri occhi uno smacco crudel…
Arabismi di ambito agricolo e alimentare in Sicilia e nel Mediterraneo
2017
L’immagine del Mediterraneo come luogo di migrazioni, incontri e attraversamenti culturali pluridirezionali è nelle parole di Ferdinand Braudel quando lo definisce «non un mare, ma un susseguirsi di mari. Non una civiltà, ma una serie di civiltà accatastate le une sulle altre». Ma la complessità “disegnata” da Braudel si mostra ancora più intricata quando si guarda alla lingua con le sue forti dinamiche variabili. Come ha più volte osservato Giovanni Ruffino, per il linguista può essere utile adottare la formula «lingue circolari/lingue marginali» o, ancora meglio, la formula «correnti marginali e correnti circolari di lingua e cultura», per riferirsi a una molteplicità di condizioni lingui…
