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 …
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…
Meta-action research with pre-service teachers: a case study
2014
This article analyses a case of action research collaboratively conducted by a university teacher and 50 students in a master's course in teacher training. Its originality resides in the socio-economic, academic, and conceptual nature of the obstacles encountered in the module; in the meta-theoretical orientation of the action research that was chosen to overcome them; and in how triangulation strategies were devised to compensate for the limitations imposed by the academic framing of the course. In spite of the brevity of the research cycle, both the structure of the course and teacher-student interaction improved rapidly and significantly, as did the latter's trust in the teacher. As a re…
The Subjective Social Value of Education Construct: CrossValidation between School and University Teachers
2016
La Educación posee un valor social evidente que puede presentarse mediante indicadores de evaluación socio-educativos. Si bien la relación entre contexto escolar y rendimiento es evidente en diversos países, esta relación va perdiendo consistencia en los últimos años; ya que aparecen sectores estudiantiles que superan las predicciones académicas esperadas. Para ello, se estudia el Valor Social Subjetivo de la Educación en función de dos grupos docentes –escuela y universidad–. La metodología es complementaria a través de comités de expertos/as y validación cruzada de constructo. Se realizan análisis sobre dos escalas –relevancia y susceptibilidad de cambio– y entre dos muestras diferenciada…
Applying phenomenography in guidance and counselling research
2017
This paper examines phenomenography as a viable qualitative approach in guidance and counselling research. A phenomenographic study maps the qualitatively different ways in which people experience a specific phenomenon and helps researchers to describe the aspects that make one way of experiencing a certain phenomenon qualitatively distinct from another. This paper presents an overview of phenomenographic research, encompassing theoretical, methodological and practical considerations. The application of this approach in guidance and counselling studies is illustrated with examples. peerReviewed
Periodismo especializado y especialización política
2015
En este artículo se revisa la bibliografía sobre periodismo especializado y se analizan los rasgos normalmente aducidos para identificar la especialización periodística, que apuntan por lo general al contenido de los textos: la especificidad temática, el enfoque en profundidad, la metodología de investigación, el recurso a fuentes expertas, la necesidad de formación complementaria a la pro-piamente periodística, la orientación a audiencias segmentadas, el uso de géneros textuales con-cretos, o la adecuación lingüística. La aplicación de estos mismos factores a la especialización políti-ca pone de manifiesto la necesidad de cuestionar los rasgos aducidos y considerar otros criterios en el co…
Statystyka, programowanie i co jeszcze? : o wyzwaniach współczesnego językoznawstwa
