Finnish teachers as civic educators : From vision to action
2020
In this article, we examine Finnish class teachers as citizenship educators. Over the last ten years, the autonomous position of the Finnish teacher has become a symbol of the world-famous education system, and this study aims to illustrate how this freedom comes true in the framework of teacher as a citizenship educator. A prior study shows that teachers mostly share the same universal values, emphasizing altruism rather than individualism. Socially, teachers are more focused on maintaining the status quo and continuity of society than changing it radically. This article aims to answer the question how teachers define their role between society and individual learners and how they prioriti…
The construction of school participation. The Geoforo Iberoamericano in 2017
2017
La participación escolar es una situación compleja, pues oscila entre las voluntades de su realización y los obstáculos para canalizar los deseos de las personas que son parte integrante de la sociedad educativa. En el caso del Geoforo Iberoamericano hemos asistido al aumento del número de visitas y de opiniones vertidas sobre sus foros de debate pero era preciso analizar cómo se fraguaba dicha participación. Un primer paso es el estudio de qué conceptos se repiten en las opiniones que se manifiestan por alumnos y docentes; una cuestión que abordamos en este balance de 2017. Más adelante ya llegará la fase de las interrelaciones entre sujetos. Además, al mismo tiempo, asistimos a la interna…

Evidence for a link between the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation and annual asthma mortality rates in the US
2019
AbstractAn association between climatic conditions and asthma mortality has been widely assumed. However, it is unclear whether climatic variations have a fingerprint on asthma dynamics over long time intervals. The aim of this study is to detect a possible correlation between climatic indices, namely the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation and Pacific Decadal Oscillation, and asthma mortality rates over the period from 1950 to 2015 in the contiguous US. To this aim, an analysis of non-stationary and non-linear signals was performed on time series of US annual asthma mortality rates, AMO and PDO indices to search for characteristic periodicities. Results revealed that asthma death rates evalu…

The pedagogy of multiliteracies as a code breaker : A suggestion for a transversal approach to computing education in basic education
2021
While computing has been (re)introduced into the basic education curricula in various countries, its actual implementation appears to be inconsistent. There are schools in which computing education is commonplace, while the implementation seems to be lagging behind in others. There is emerging evidence that some teachers do not consider computing education relevant, meaningful and important and, thus, intentionally neglect its provision. This is problematic as understanding the principles of code and computing is crucial for agentic citizenship in the post-digital era. This paper argues that one main reason for these teachers' reluctance is the economy-driven discursive framing of computing…
Idea filozofii mądrościowej w lubelskiej szkole filozoficznej
2016
The concept of wisdom philosophy was developed by the representatives of Lublin Philosophical School (S. Swieżawski, M.A. Krąpiec, S. Kamiński)and inspired by French philosophers (E. Gilson and J. Maritain). In his work Science et sagesse (Science and Wisdom) Maritain distinguishes three types of wisdom — mystical, theological and metaphysical. It is the concept of metaphysical wisdom that the thinkers from Lublin philosophical school focused on and developed. Wisdom is the existential position when one understands reality, and is assumed via the philosophical contemplation of being. Wisdom philosophy strives to explain the very fact of being and to know the transcendental attributes of bei…
The effects of motor skill and physical activity interventions on preschoolers' cognitive and academic skills: A systematic review
2022
The present systematic review aimed to investigate the methodological quality and the effects of fundamental motor skills and physical activity interventions on cognitive and academic skills in typically developing 3 to 7-year-old children. The review was conducted and reported in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) statement. A literature search was carried out in April 2020 using seven electronic databases. The methodological quality of the studies was assessed with the Effective Public Health Practice Project (EPHPP) Quality Assessment Tool. Cohen's d effect size calculations and post hoc power analyses were conducted for the in…
