Child-centered and teacher-directed practices in relation to calculation and word problem solving skills

2019

Abstract This study examined transactional associations between classroom-level math skills and teaching practices. Participants were 523 children from 31 classrooms. Math skills were assessed three times. Teaching practices were observed in Grades 1 and 3. Child-centered practices promoted subsequent calculation skills whereas teacher-directed practices were associated with a lower level of calculation skills. Higher problem-solving skills at Grade 2 predicted more child-centered practices and less teacher-directed practices in third grade. Moreover, calculation skills mediated the effect of child-centered practices on problem-solving skills. The results suggest that teaching practices and…

Intermedio and Chorus. Re-thinking Theories and Practices in Sixteenth-Century Italian Theatre

2017

L'articolo mette a confronto le teorie fiorite nel corso del sedicesimo secolo sull'uso del coro e dell'intermedio nei tre generi teatrali dell'epoca (tragedia, commedia, favola pastorale). L'esame rivela che, lungi dall'uniformarsi agli asserti dei letterati pieni di riferimenti alle poetiche di Aristotele e Orazio, gli uomini di teatro paragonarono spesso l'intermedio al coro di ispirazione classica. La definizione di "coro intercalare" e di "coro istrione", avanzata da Ottavio Magnanini nel 1614, si può applicare alle tragedie di alcuni celebri autori del secolo precedente che accostarono il coro tragico all'intermedio, corrompendo in parte il ruolo drammatico del primo a favore della sp…

Diagnostic algorithm for familial chylomicronemia syndrome

2016

International audience; Background: Familial chylomicronemia syndrome (FCS) is a rare genetic disease that leads to severe hypertriglyceridemia often associated with recurrent episodes of pancreatitis. The recognition and correct diagnosis of the disease is challenging due to its rarity, and to the lack of specificity of signs and symptoms. Lipid experts, endocrinologists, gastroenterologists, pancreatologists, and general practitioners may encounter patients who potentially have FCS. Therefore, cooperation between experts and improved knowledge of FCS is essential in improving the diagnosis. Currently, a consensus on best practice for the diagnosis of FCS is lacking. Methods: Aiming to def…
