Students’ university mobility patterns in Europe: an introduction

2022

AbstractThis thematic series collects some papers on Italian students' mobility. The aim of this thematic series is twofold. First, to describe the phenomenon which is important for universities and for its negative socio-economic implications for the South of Italy.

Contemporary conceptions of educating teachers underline the vital role and significance of professional traineeship. Education of teachersis directed not only at eąuipping prospective teachers with general and specialist knowledge, but also at developing competences which are indispensable for everyday didactic-rearing work. Therefore professional traineeship is an important element of educating teachers.

Predictors of performance in engineering mathematics

2018

International audience; Mathematics in university courses was identified as a main obstacle for engineering students in the beginning of their study. Since difficulties with mathematics could lead to a dropout, our research aims to analyse students' profiles referring to individual characteristics that allow identifying possible risks for students' achievement or success in the first year of study. As a first step to identify possibly risky profiles, we started to find possible predictors of students' performance. For this, we give a short overview of the research state and our derived research interest. We discuss theoretical constructs that are possibly crucial characteristics of students…

The power of assessment: What (dis)empowers students in their EFL assessment in a Finnish upper secondary school?

2017

Assessment wields a great deal of power over students. Yet, there is little research on how students, either in general or as individuals, experience assessment. Therefore, this study aimed to explore what disempowers or empowers students in EFL assessment. A total of 146 students from one Finnish upper secondary school answered a questionnaire on assessment and feedback in their EFL studies. The study utilises mixed methods: primarily, the questionnaire data was analysed quantitatively (principal component analysis, step-wise regression analysis), secondarily, qualitative data and analysis were also used. The analyses showed that students reacted to assessment in highly individual ways. Wh…

"You've got the color, but you dont't have the shades" : primary education CLIL teachers' identity negotiation within the Finnish context

2018

This dissertation explores how professional identity is experienced by teachers in Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) instruction. In particular, it addresses professional identity in relation to two immediate contexts of teacher activity, i.e. that of the classroom and that of the collegial community. In addition to exploring how these two sides of the professional self give rise to a broader understanding of professional identity, this dissertation also explores aspects of professional agency and the negotiation of emotions in their work. The dissertation is founded on fourteen interviews with Finnish kindergarten and primary education teachers doing CLIL. The data were thema…

Addressing Patients Mobility through a Dynamic Performance Management perspective: the case of Sicily

Al giorno d'oggi molte regioni italiane sperimentano il fenomeno della mobilità sanitaria passiva, consistente nella tendenza dei loro residenti a rivolgersi ad altri sistemi sanitari regionali, spesso caratterizzati da miglior reputazione, per ricevere assistenza sanitaria. Poiché il Servizio Sanitario Italiano (SSN) è pubblico e regionalizzato, ogni governo regionale ha la responsabilità di prestare assistenza sanitaria ai propri residenti, garantendo al contempo ad ogni cittadino la libertà di essere curato fuori dalla propria giurisdizione, e compensando le regioni di destinazione per i servizi sanitari resi ai non residenti. Nonostante tale diritto di scelta sia un punto di forza del S…

Understanding beginners' mistakes with Haskell

2015

AbstractThis article presents an overview of student difficulties in an introductory functional programming (FP) course taught in Haskell. The motivation for this study stems from our belief that many student difficulties can be alleviated by understanding the underlying causes of errors and by modifying the educational approach and, possibly, the teaching language accordingly. We analyze students' exercise submissions and categorize student errors according to compiler error messages and then manually according to the observed underlying cause. Our study complements earlier studies on the topic by applying computer and manual analysis while focusing on providing descriptive statistics of d…

Task-focused behaviour and mothers' causal attributions in relation to dyslexia : a follow-up from age 8 to age 20

2018

Children with dyslexia tend to find reading stressful. Coping responses, such as task-focused and avoidant behaviours, can help mitigate the stress. Task-focused behaviour is associated with reading development, with others’ at-tributions of success and failure linked to task-focused behaviour. The present study aims to examine whether differences in task-focused behaviour between those with dyslexia and those without dyslexia exist in childhood (age 8) and persist in adolescence (age 15) and early adulthood (age 20). The study also aimed to understand the relationship between mothers’ causal attributions of their 15-year-old adolescents’ school successes and fail-ures and task-focused beha…

CLIL Challenges : Secondary School CLIL Teachers’ Voices and Experienced Agency in Three European Contexts

2020

This qualitative interview study focuses on CLIL (Content and Language Integrated Learning) teacher agency in three European contexts, Austria, Finland and Andalusia, Spain. The aim of the study is to understand how individual CLIL teachers experience their agency when encountering challenges in their work and to demonstrate the multifaceted quality of their agency. The study employs the Listening Guide method (Gilligan, 2015) to listen to the voices of three secondary school subject teachers from three diverse contexts. The analysis shows that CLIL challenges both empowered and disempowered the teachers depending on how meaningful they found their work and what their possibilities to act w…
