Interpretation of journalistic photographs as an instrument of visual literacy education
2016
Images are produced, used and distributed on an enormous scale. However, the skills of understanding, interpreting and using images as well as thinking and learning in terms of images are taken for granted, and thus, they are not sufficiently taught and developed, especially in higher education. The need for introducing visual literacy into the curriculum was identified in late 1960s, but no concrete guidelines have followed. This study proposes to apply interpretation of journalistic photographs as an instrument of visual literacy education. The main focus is on the image interpretation process and the kinds of meanings viewers apply to a photograph in the interpretation process. In each o…

Affective Mimetics, Emotional Information Space, and Metaverse
2021
Current technology design pursues applying human-like features to AI technologies. These attempts have faced many challenges due to the essential complexities of the human mind. Cognitive mimetics is a design approach to mimic human information processes in designing intelligent technologies. The focus is on mimicking cognition, human knowledge structures, and represented mental information contents which addresses a fundamental issue in technology design. However, cognition is one aspect of information processing in the human mind. Affective information processing also plays an essential role in addressing the meaningfulness of cognitive processes. This paper discusses affective mimetics (…
Lapsuuden löytämisestä toimijuuden tutkimukseen : lapsuuden historian kuusi vuosikymmentä
2022
Luvussa esitellään lapsuuden historiaa tutkimusalana ja tarjotaan välineitä ymmärtää tutkimusalan traditioita, erityispiirteitä ja lähestymistapoja. Luvussa pohditaan, millaisista lähtökohdista tutkimus on versonut 1960-luvulta lähtien, millaisia paradigmamuutoksia alalla on tapahtunut ja millaisia painopistealueita siitä voidaan havaita. Samalla pohdittavaksi asettuu tieteidenvälisen keskustelun merkitys menneisyyden lapsia koskevan tutkimuksen lähestymistapojen ja menetelmien muutokselle. Teksti perustuu aiemman lapsuuden historian tutkimuksen syntetisoivaan luentaan. Huomion kohteena ovat erityisesti tutkimusalaa eri aikoina määrittäneet ja tuloksia yhteen koonneet kokoomateokset, vaikut…
Prácticas artísticas de visualización entre cuerpo y objeto en entornos de mediación pedagógica
2019
El artículo es producto de un proceso de investigación basado en la metodología de la Photo Based Research realizada con alumnado universitario en formación como futuros docentes. Parte del análisis de prácticas artísticas performativas del cuerpo, en relación con un entorno de mediación pedagógica y los objetos que lo configuran, para establecer una nueva mirada analítica sobre el papel de mediación del entorno y sus objetos sobre la posición del docente y su identidad. Ello nos permite vislumbrar y poder subvertir, utilizando la propuesta de análisis de visualización de entornos mediáticos, que desarrollamos en el artículo, estos efectos de mediación. Con ello, podemos articular, por medi…
Uddannelse som social kunstform?
2018
Malet med denne artikel er at undersoge nogle af de kunstneriske og paedagogiske dilemmaer, der kan opsta, nar man anvender praksisstyret aktionsforskning i udviklingen af egen undervisning i og gennem de kunstneriske fag ved et universitet. Ved at fokusere pa vanskelige situationer onsker artiklen at diskutere, hvad der sker, nar laerere og studerende sammen udforsker egne roller i de utydeligt afgraensede mellemrum og spaendinger mellem praksisformerne undervisning, forskning og kunst. I forste del av artiklen praesenteres didaktiske, kunstneriske og metodiske aspekter af forskningsprojektet Art as Education/Education as Art, hvor min kollega og jeg i efteraret 2016 sammen gennemforte en …
Determining the Number of Factors to Retain in EFA: An easy-to-use computer program for carrying out Parallel Analysis
2007
Parallel Analysis is a Monte Carlo simulation technique that aids researchers in determining the number of factors to retain in Principal Component and Exploratory Factor Analysis. This method provides a superior alternative to other techniques that are commonly used for the same purpose, such as the Scree test or the Kaiser's eigenvalue-greater-than-one rule. Nevertheless, Parallel Analysis is not well known among researchers, in part because it is not included as an analysis option in the most popular statistical packages. This paper describes and illustrates how to apply Parallel Analysis with an easy-to-use computer program called ViSta-PARAN. ViSta-PARAN is a user-friendly application …

A Case For a Study Quality Appraisal in Survey Studies in Psychology
2019
The lack of replication of key effects in psychology has highlighted some fundamental problems with reporting of research findings and methods used (Asendorpf et al., 2013; Open Science Collaboration, 2015). Problems with replication have been attributed to sources of bias such as questionable research practices like HARK-ing (Kerr, 1998) or p-hacking (Simmons et al., 2011). Another potential source of bias is lack of precision in the conduct and methods used in psychological research, which likely introduces systematic error into data collected with the potential to affect results. A related issue is lack of accuracy in reporting study methods and findings. There is, therefore, increased r…
Estudio y análisis de los métodos de iniciación a la viola más utilizados por el profesorado de las Enseñanzas Elementales de la provincia de Valencia
2015
El presente artículo estudia los métodos de iniciación a la viola más utilizados entre el profesorado de las Enseñanzas Elementales de la provincia de Valencia. Participan en el estudio 26 profesores de 21 conservatorios públicos. El instrumento de recogida de la información ha sido el cuestionario diseñado según criterios basados en la sencillez, precisión y concreción de los 32 ítems que lo componen y la discreción y preservación del anonimato en el manejo de la información recabada. La metodología de la investigación ha sido mixta. Se ha utilizado una estrategia de complementación que combina métodos de ambas orientaciones, cuantitativa y cualitativa, ocupándose las distintas perspectiva…
