Identità in transizione. Il senso di sé personale e professionale in rapporto al cambiamento organizzativo
2017
Il presente lavoro indaga come il cambiamento organizzativo produce delle conseguenze sul piano dell’identità professionale e personale dei lavoratori, oltre che sulla qualità della loro identificazione con l’organizzazione. Nello specifico, a 12 dipendenti di un piccolo presidio ospedaliero, colpito da un processo di ridimensionamento a causa di una rimodulazione del personale e dei posti letto, è stata somministrata un’intervista narrativa finalizzata a indagare l’impatto del cambiamento organizzativo in corso sulle identità personali e professionali. Le interviste, esplorate tramite procedure di analisi statistica del contenuto, hanno fatto emergere come i lavoratori che tendono a identi…

La innovación educativa en la evolución de las profesiones. El caso de las Ciencias Laborales. Reflexiones y avances
2020
Las profesiones están en continuo cambio y adaptación, y ello requiere de un permanente ajuste de las competencias que los/las profesionales precisan en cada momento. La Universidad actual debe asumir un papel activo que permita dicho ajuste. Es por tanto necesario que el estamento universitario tenga un amplio conocimiento de la realidad de la profesión, así como incorporar a sus dinámicas estas necesidades. En el presente texto proponemos una aproximación a la realidad de la profesión de Graduado Social –egresado/a actual en Ciencias Laborales -como contexto de estudio, planteando el papel que la Universidad debería asumir en la actualidad como uno de sus elementos constitutivos. La impor…
Investigating the professional agency of secondary school English teachers in South Korea
2020
This qualitative study examines the professional agency of secondary English teachers in Midwestern South Korea. Specifically, it investigates how secondary English teachers in South Korea understand their professional agency and what mediates their professional agency. The ecological approach in this study recognises that agency encompasses both individual and environmental dimensions and is formed through the constant interplay between the individual and the environment. The dataset for this study comprises 15 semi-structured interviews with secondary English teachers in South Korea. The thematic analysis highlights a significant gap between Korean English teachers’ espoused agency and re…
The meaning of peer group mentoring in the university context
2019
Peer mentoring is commonly used for didactical and learning purposes. In this study we examine peer group mentoring in the university context. The aim is to promote understanding of peer group mentoring based on a meta-analysis of two primary studies: teacher students and teacher group tutors. As a result, three core categories were found: 1) Individual’s participation in the group, 2) Professional development with others and 3) Community enabling sharing and development. These were hierarchically organized and there are critical aspects placed in between the core categories. Professional and personal experiences intertwine to enhance participants’ self-understanding and professional develo…
La professionnalisation dans l’enseignement universitaire : un processus dialogique ?
2014
National audience; Professionalization in higher education in France is the subject of many debates about the goals and purposes of university degrees. This leads to a wide range of plans and actions, but the mechanisms behind have rarely been studied. After reviewing the questions raised by the main scientific approaches dealing with professionalization, this article analyses how it is implemented for professional bachelor degrees and what professors and programme directors think of, and do about it. Drawing on theory of activity - and in particular directed activity -, our conclusions emphasize the "dialogical universe" of activities, from course design to evaluation. In the same way, mos…
La carta comercial publicitaria y su entramado textual
2001
El presente estudio responde a un tipo de texto: la carta comercial publicitaria. Como texto publicitario la carta es persuasiva, tiene un fin práctico e interesado puesto que se requiere del receptor que adquiera la oferta o servicio que se anuncia en la carta de una forma explícita o implícita. El estudio se plantea en dos partes. En la primera, estudiamos la superestructura del texto epistolar, que cuenta con unas funciones comunicativas precisas con formulismos y apelaciones. En la segunda parte, analizamos un ejemplo representativo observando los mecanismos lingüísticos retóricos y persuasivos que definen a este tipo de texto epistolar persuasivo. The present study deals with effective…
'Share your experience'. Digital Storytelling in English for Tourism
2014
The main purpose of this article is to describe the experience achieved when implementing the practical classes of English for Tourism so as to bridge the gap between the professional world of the tourism industry and what students learn at the university. In this article we will first introduce the concept of Digital Storytelling (Lambert (1997), Gregori-Signes (2007-2010), Alcantud-Díaz (2008-2011) and briefly describe some of the projects that have already been developed at the University of Valencia as well as the use of digital stories in the promotion of touristic products. We will then argue that Digital Storytelling can be considered as a productive type of activity which fits the d…
Professional Competences of Music Therapists Working in Post-stroke Rehabilitation
2012
The aim of this qualitative study is to gain more insight into the skills and knowledge that music therapists feel they need, in order to work successfully with people who have had an acute stroke. For this purpose, six music therapists were interviewed about their own particular specialist education. Another interview topic for them was to recount their subjective experiences of poststroke rehabilitation work in hospitals and health care units during the course of two projects that they participated in. The first was a project that specifically used music listening during acute stroke rehabilitation; and the second was a project, which used more active music therapy techniques, like drummi…
E-Oral, una herramienta para evaluar la expresión oral y la comprensión auditiva a distancia
2016
E-Oral es la aplicación informática que el Centro de Idiomas (CUID) de la UNED utiliza para evaluar las destrezas orales de los alumnos matriculados en cursos virtuales de idiomas. Esta herramienta permite evaluar de forma asincrónica. No es, sin embargo, una prueba completamente automatizada, puesto que los evaluadores son humanos. Las denominadas tecnologías del habla presentan aún hoy ciertas restricciones que limitan su experimentación en el campo de la evaluación y la certificación lingüística. El artículo es una presentación de la herramienta. Palabras clave: tecnologías del habla, evaluación, expresión oral, comprensión auditiva. E-oral, a tool to assess oral expression and liste…
