Understanding teaching professionals' digital competence : What do PIAAC and TALIS reveal about technology-related skills, attitudes, and knowledge?
2021
In an ever-evolving technological landscape that challenges teaching professionals' digital competence, this study complements previous studies by providing an overall picture of teaching professionals' digital competence. We employed regression models on two large-scale assessment data sets on teachers from 11 countries—namely, the Teaching and Learning International Survey (TALIS; n = 50,800) and the Programme for the International Assessment of Adult Competencies (PIAAC; n = 2590)—to investigate through the theoretical lens of digital competence how teaching professionals' skills, attitudes and knowledge distribute and relate, and how they are associated with personal and contextual fact…
Should dispersers be fast learners? Modeling the role of cognition in dispersal syndromes.
2021
Abstract Both cognitive abilities and dispersal tendencies can vary strongly between individuals. Since cognitive abilities may help dealing with unknown circumstances, it is conceivable that dispersers may rely more heavily on learning abilities than residents. However, cognitive abilities are costly and leaving a familiar place might result in losing the advantage of having learned to deal with local conditions. Thus, individuals which invested in learning to cope with local conditions may be better off staying at their natal place. In order to disentangle the complex relationship between dispersal and learning abilities, we implemented individual‐based simulations. By allowing for develo…
Taitamisen tiede - tietämisen taide : taidon oppimisen arkkitehtuuri
2016
The purpose of this research was to study skill learning and the meaning of the art and skill subjects in Finnish comprehensive school. During the last decade, there have been many discussions in the media about the position of the art and skill subjects in our school system and the curriculum. The beginning, the idea, of this study can be located in 2003, when we educators were in the middle of designing the new curriculum for the year 2004. In that curriculum the amount of the art and skill subjects was decreasing, because the amount of the optional subjects decreased from 20 to 13. Many teachers asked: why was that happening? They had a feeling, that the direction was not right. I was al…
Influenceru juridiskais statuss un to darbības tiesiskais regulējums.
2020
Influenceris ir pietiekami efektīva autoritāte, lai tā viedoklī ieklausītos un investētu. Tādējādi influenceri no kādā nozarē pazīstamiem cilvēkiem, kas aktīvi darbojas sociālo tīklu platformās un piesaista auditoriju, veidojot oriģinālu saturu, ir kļuvuši par mārketinga instrumentiem. Proti, influenceri tagad ir arī komercprakses īstenotāji, to profili – reklāmas izplatīšanas vietas, savukārt to ievērojamais sekotāju pulks – patērētāju mērķauditorija. Straujo izmaiņu dēļ ārvalstīs šajā jomā ir nestabila un arvien mainīga tiesu prakse, savukārt Latvijai raksturīgā tiekšanās pēc ātra un visaptveroša tiesiskā regulējuma novedusi pie situācijas, kuru vienlaikus raksturo gan atbildīgo amatperso…
On Assessing Vulnerabilities of the 5G Networks to Adversarial Examples
2022
The use of artificial intelligence and machine learning is recognized as the key enabler for 5G mobile networks which would allow service providers to tackle the network complexity and ensure security, reliability and allocation of the necessary resources to their customers in a dynamic, robust and trustworthy way. Dependability of the future generation networks on accurate and timely performance of its artificial intelligence components means that disturbance in the functionality of these components may have negative impact on the entire network. As a result, there is an increasing concern about the vulnerability of intelligent machine learning driven frameworks to adversarial effects. In …
Mixed learning approach to teaching ethics in leadership and management: A case course in a multicultural group
2015
The purpose of the paper is to analyse how a mixed learning approach (MLA) (e.g. case studies, applied drama) can facilitate teaching and learning ethics in business management. Partners from five different countries organized an international higher education course in the years 2013, 2014 and 2015. The aim of the course was to provide the students with skills to evaluate and solve ethical problems constructively in a multicultural group. This case portrays the benefits and challenges of the MLA and discusses what it takes from teachers and students to make the use of the approach successful. peerReviewed

The Use of Collocates of the Nouns in Articles About Coronavirus on the News Website BBC News Online
2022
Masu mediju loma Covid-19 atspoguļošanā ir nenoliedzama. Pētījuma mērķis, pielietojot kvantitatīvās un kvalitatīvās metodes, ir izpētīt lietvārdu kolokāciju lietojumu ziņu portāla BBC News Online rakstos par koronavīrusu. Viens no galvenajiem pētījuma atklājumiem ir tāds, ka lietvārds koronavīruss medijos tiek atainots kā ienaidnieks – karadarbības kontekstā. Tāpat viens no pētījuma novērojumiem un tendencēm ir, ka īpašības vārds pozitīvs caur kolokācijām ieguvis negatīvu pieskaņu. Ar koronavīrusu saistītais vārdu krājums ir ļoti specifisks, jo mediju diskursā parādās vārdi un vārdu savienojumi, kas sen jau nav lietoti, arī tādi kuri agrāk lietoti specifiskos diskursos vai pavisam citā kont…

Results indicated that, in general, the studies have made it possible to acquire the technological competence and to combine the pedagogical knowledge with the technology. The results of the study clearly state t…
