Response to computer-assisted intervention in children most at risk for mathematics difficulties
2015
Evidence of an association between poor early number skills and a high risk for later difficulties in mathematics manifests a need for both early identification of risk and effective prevention of difficulties. However, only a few theory-based assessment and progress monitoring tools, and intervention methods are avail able for this purpose in Finnish pre-primary education. This thesis aimed to examine to what extent a theory-based computer-assisted intervention method (GraphoGame Math, GGM) can support early number skills development in children (67-year-olds) most at risk for mathematics difficulties (MD; defined as performance below the 10th percentile). The specific aims were threefold…

Skolēna līderprasmju attīstības metodes vispārizglītojošās skolas kontekstā
2015
Mūsdienu Latvijas vispārizglītojošā skolā skolēni apgūst daudz mācību priekšmetu: matemātiku, dabaszinības, valodas, literatūru, u.c. Bet nevienā no šiem priekšmetiem netiek mērķtiecīgi attīstītas komunikācijas prasmes, emociju savaldīšana, empātija un līdera prasmes, kuras ir tik nepieciešamas mūsdienu pasaulē. Šī darba mērķis ir teorētiski izpētīt un praktiski pārbaudīt līdera prasmes attīstības metodes, kuras ir pielietojami skolas vidē. No literatūras analīzes tika secināts, ka līderība ir emocionālās inteliģences augstāka pakāpe, un lai attīstītu līdera prasmes, jāstrādā pie emocionālas inteliģences attīstīšanās. Šim nolūkam darba gaitā bija izstrādāts nodarbības kurss, kurā piedalījās…
Questions raised in science education : a Colombian-Spanish comparative study
2016
RESUMEN: La formulación de preguntas es un potente recurso para el aprendizaje de las ciencias. El objetivo del presente trabajo fue evaluar el desarrollo de la competencia metacognitiva por medio de la formulación de preguntas. En este estudio se usaron dos dispositivos experimentales de ciencias con un comportamiento inesperado. Se pidió a los participantes realizar preguntas destinadas a comprender su funcionamiento. La evaluación contrastó el desempeño de estudiantes colombianos con estudiantes españoles equivalentes. Los resultados mostraron que los colombianos formulan significativamente más preguntas en general, y más preguntas de alta calidad, que los estudiantes españoles. Se concl…

Entrepreneurship Training and Self-Employment among University Graduates
2012
In economies characterized by low labor demand and high rates of youth unemployment, entrepreneurship training has the potential to enable youth to gain skills and create their own jobs. This paper presents experimental evidence on a new entrepreneurship track that provides business training and personalized coaching to university students in Tunisia. Undergraduates in the final year of licence appliquee were given the opportunity to graduate with a business plan instead of following the standard curriculum. This paper relies on randomized assignment of the entrepreneurship track to identify impacts on labor market outcomes one year after graduation. The analysis finds that the entrepreneur…
