Why Do Teachers Use Game-Based Learning Technologies? The Role of Individual and Institutional ICT Readiness
2015
This paper investigates how different individual and institutional factors pertaining to ICT readiness influence teachers’ adoption of game-based learning technologies. The data were gathered from Finnish primary, lower secondary and upper secondary school teachers (N=1668) with an online survey. The results indicate that openness towards ICT, ICT attitude and the ICT compatibility with teaching positively influence the perceived value whereas openness towards ICT, supportive organizational ICT culture, ICT selfefficacy and ICT compatibility with teaching positively influenced the actual use of game-based learning technologies. However, the structural model could explain only little of the …
Regional labor markets in Finland: Adjustment to total versus region-specific shocks
2005
This article analyses regional labor market adjustment in the Finnish provinces during 1976-2000. We investigate the inter-relations of employment, unemployment, labor force participation, and migration to see how a change in region-specific and total labor demand is adjusted. The analysis reveals that region-specific labor demand shocks adjust mainly via participation, whereas total shocks are adjusted by unemployment. The region-specific component of labor demand shock has shorter-lived effects on unemployment and participation, but its effect on employment is permanent. Conversely, total shocks leave no permanent effect. Migration is more important in the region-specific case where, afte…
Landis-type conjecture for the half-Laplacian
2023
In this paper, we study the Landis-type conjecture, i.e., unique continuation property from infinity, of the fractional Schrödinger equation with drift and potential terms. We show that if any solution of the equation decays at a certain exponential rate, then it must be trivial. The main ingredients of our proof are the Caffarelli-Silvestre extension and Armitage’s Liouville-type theorem. peerReviewed
L’habitat perché du Malpas à Soyons (Ardèche) durant l’Antiquité tardive : état des données
2023
International audience; Recent excavations carried out between 2011-2016 in the ancient and medieval town of Soyons (Ardèche), located in the middle Rhône valley, in the territory of the roman colony of Valence, provide us new data on the occupation of the hilltop of Le Malpas.The study of the fortification of the Iron age has revealed the existence of a rampart built during the 3rd century AD. At this time, the lower city, under the actual village, is gradually abandoned. After a probable hiatus during the 4th century AD, the hilltop and the lower city grew again during the 5th and the 6th century AD. The late antique artefacts discovered in all the trenches dug on the Malpas let us assume…
Dyscalculia: Clinical manifestations, evaluation and diagnosis. Current Perspectives of educational intervention
2019
Learning difficulties and learning disorders are very frequent in schools nowadays, and they have been increasing in the field of mathematics. Such difficulties tend to be associated with other disorders such as dyslexia or Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). The present article aims at deepening our understanding, definition and detection of dyscalculia, along with reviewing current educational treatments. Since 1990, concerns about learning difficulties in the classroom have been made explicit in policies such as the Spanish Law on the General Ordering of the Education System (LOGSE). Likewise, the indicators, symptoms, and prevalence of dyscalculia have been gathered since t…
Aprender y argumentar España. La visión de la identidad española entre el alumnado al finalizar el bachillerato
2012
Este trabajo forma parte de un estudio más amplio sobre la progresión del aprendizaje de la identidad nacional entre alumnado español de secundaria a partir del actual marco curricular y los libros de texto mayoritarios. Aquí se presentan los resultados provisionales de un análisis empírico de la visión del alumnado sobre la identidad española al acabar bachillerato y su capacidad de argumentar al respecto. Se ha realizado a partir de una muestra de cuestionarios y ejercicios de argumentación en un centro de secundaria This paper is part of a wider study on the learning progression of the national identity among students of spanish secondary from the current curriculum framework and the maj…
Estilos de aprendizaje en estudiantes universitarios y enseñanza centrada en el aprendizaje
2017
El objetivo de este trabajo era valorar el impacto de los métodos centrados en el aprendizaje, implementados por cuatro profesores/as, en los estilos de aprendizaje de los alumnos de la asignatura de Procesos y Contextos Educativos en el Máster de Educación Secundaria de la Universidad de Valencia. También se pretendía analizar la valoración del alumnado sobre los métodos utilizados. La muestra fue de 117 estudiantes, que cursaban estos estudios durante el curso 2014-15, repartidos en cuatro grupos de cuatro especialidades diferentes. Se usó un diseño cuasiexperimental, con medidas de pretest/postest, mediante el cuestionario ILS (Learning Styles Inventory) de Vermunt (1994); además, el alu…
Estudio comparativo del Lenguaje Musical con alumnado de enseñanza secundaria: Música Clásica versus Música Festera
2014
Este trabajo forma parte de una investigación de mayores dimensiones sobre la aplicación didáctica de la Música Festera en el aula de enseñanza secundaria. El objetivo principal de este estudio ha sido comprobar si esta música puede ser un material curricular adecuado para trabajar contenidos musicales de la misma manera que lo hacemos con la música culta. Entendemos por Música Festera aquellas composiciones compuestas e interpretadas ex profeso para la Fiesta de Moros y Cristianos y que se materializan en sus tres formas para el desfile: pasodobles, marchas moras y marchas cristianas. Para llevar a cabo este estudio se han diseñado dos unidades didácticas en las que a través de la audición…
Genetic and Biochemical Analysis of PadR-padC Promoter Interactions during the Phenolic Acid Stress Response in Bacillus subtilis 168
2011
ABSTRACT Bacillus subtilis 168 is resistant to phenolic acids by expression of an inducible enzyme, the phenolic acid decarboxylase (PadC), that decarboxylates these acids into less toxic vinyl derivatives. In the phenolic acid stress response (PASR), the repressor of padC , PadR, is inactivated by these acids. Inactivation of PadR is followed by a strong expression of padC . To elucidate the functional interaction between PadR and the padC promoter, we performed (i) footprinting assays to identify the region protected by PadR, (ii) electrophoretic mobility shift assays (EMSAs) with a modified padC promoter protected region to determine the interacting sequences, and (iii) random mutagenesi…
Numerical prediction of ventilated planing flat plates for the design of Air Cavity Ships
2017
In recent years, a great world issue is the respect for the environment. Each researcher, in his competence field, proposes new technologies and new approaches in order to reduce the environmental impact of a product or of an industrial process. In the naval field, the main way in order to reduce the environmental impact of the ship during the navigation is the reduction of the drag resistance and so the reduction of requested power. There are many ways in order to obtain a reduction of drag. This paper investigates, with a preliminary numerical study by means of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), the Air Cavity Ships technology (ACS). A first part of the paper concerns the study of the ri…
