Harmonization of Communication in Professional Setting

2020

The 21st century has introduced many changes in modern workplaces which have become multilingual and multicultural. The present paper sheds light on selected aspects of workplace discourse, revealing that backstage communication in a professional setting plays a very significant role in establishing and maintaining effective subject-bound transaction and/or interaction between the partners involved in communication. The theoretical framework of the paper is designed to consider recent contributions in professional communication research supported by some seminal theoretical writings on linguistic ecology that explore the role of language in natural interactions that occur among people worki…

Darwin and Ethics : Using Natural Selection to Understand Ethical Business and Organizational Behavior

2000

The origins of ethics and morality have been considered for many, many years. From ancient Greek metaphysicians to the great theologians of the Middle Ages to modern philosophers, different systematic frameworks have been developed to understand how and why ethics are formed. These frameworks provide people and organizations with guidance about how to act toward other humans and institutions in their environment. Steiner and Steiner (1991) discuss six different primary sources for understanding the development of ethics: religious, philosophical, cultural, legal, codes of conduct, and genetics (see Table). Of these six systems, the genetic framework is clearly the least developed, least exp…

Headmaster-teacher relationship in leading school

2013

The study explored principal-teacher relationships in four Junior High schools in the Sekyere South District of Ashanti in Ghana. One of the things that government, policy-makers and educators in Ghana rarely or never discuss is the value and significance of human connections - the relationships in schools. The focus of the study was to uncover the significance of developing and sustaining a high-quality relationship between principals and teachers for effective leadership and performance. Again, the study projects a broader conception of leadership, one that shifts away from the traditional thinking approach where the figure-head is seen as ultimately responsible for the school outcomes, t…

Maestri maschi nella scuola primaria

2019

Nei Paesi membri dellOECD i maestri di scuola primaria costituiscono una minoranza del corpo docente, per la scarsa remunerazione, lo scarso prestigio sociale e lo stereotipo di una professione ritenuta femminile. Siccome, per motivi pedagogici, i bambini e le bambine di scuola primaria hanno bisogno di relazionarsi sia con i maestri sia con le maestre, in diversi Paesi sono state prese delle misure per migliorare limmagine della professione presso gli uomini. Si è ipotizzato che quattro iniziative formative per i giovani iscritti al corso universitario per linsegnamento primario (interviste a studenti, interviste a maestri, cineforum sul maestro, incontri con maestri), avrebbero accresciut…

Let Me Hack It: Teachers’ Perceptions About ‘Making’ in Education

2020

Making in education is an emergent practice focusing on learners as creators of things in a collaborative fashion while promoting knowledge construction through technology, design, and creative self-expression. Teachers’ (n=33) opinions about making were studied using an online questionnaire after they had attended an online course for professional development about making in education. The results suggest that there exists a group of educators who consider making as a promising approach in education and want to promote its use in schools. peerReviewed

Normativitet: utfordring i psykoterapeutisk og pedagogisk arbeid. Den profesjonelle mellom tvang og frihet

2016

In this article we wish to discuss different normative dilemmas that teachers and psychotherapists meet in their work with the student and the patient. We argue that crucial for a good practice is not the actual choice between normativity and freedom, between generalized or authorized standards and individual dialogue. Rather it is the professional’s continuous reflection on the form and quality of the interactions with the pupil and the patient, and the preservation of the balance between personal ethos and professional responsibilities that best safeguard respect for the other's autonomy and self-determination. By illustrating psychotherapeutic malpractice and systematic mistreatment of c…

Pathologies et traumatismes professionnels au Néolithique ; des mineurs de silex à Chouilly « la Grifaine » (Marne) ?

2021

La fouille réalisée en 2016 par le service archéologique de Reims Métropole sur le site de Chouilly « La Grifaine » a été l’occasion de compléter nos connaissances sur les hypogées de la Marne. L’examen détaillé de l’état sanitaire des sujets issus de l’hypogée F10 a mis en exergue la récurrence de différents traumatismes et de lésions dégénératives qui plaident en faveur d’une activité spécifique qui pourrait être en lien avec l’extraction du silex. Les indices ostéologiques concernent essentiellement les individus inhumés dans les niveaux les plus récents et témoignent, soit d’une modification du recrutement des individus inhumés, soit d’une évolution des activités au cours du temps. The …

Change in body image among depressed adult outpatients after a dance movement therapy group treatment

2018

Abstract This study reports on the body image of depressed psychiatric outpatients, and the impact thereon of a dance movement therapy (DMT) group. Body image is perceived as a tri-partite construct consisting of image-properties, body-self, and body memory. Depressed patients in an outpatient mental health service participated in a DMT group treatment consisting of twelve 90-min long sessions in groups of 4–7 patients. Patients (N = 18) responded to a structured Body Image Assessment (BIA) before and after the treatment. Initially, the depressed patients’ body image was characterized by fragmentation, distortions, and shallowness of body awareness. The DMT group treatment aimed to offer th…
