Merit-based exclusion in Finnish music schools
2019
In this article I analyse merit-based exclusion in Finnish music schools for children and young people. I base my study on my earlier research on meritocracy and written data collected online from current and former music school students in the autumn and winter of 2015–2016. I am able to show there are implicit and explicit merit-based hierarchies in the music school. Hierarchies and exclusion are shown to be connected to the institution’s meritocratic features. As the hierarchies are merit-based, it is hard to question them. The hierarchies justify excluding students from certain practices such as performances. These practices are in fact learning opportunities, as has been established by…
Hyvin toimeentuleva, terve ja suvaitsematon – Suomalaisten nuorten poliittiset ideologiat asenneprofiileina tarkasteltuna
2020
Yksilön asenteet eivät ole satunnaiset. Sen sijaan ihmiset omaksuvat tiettyjä asennekokonaisuuksia, eli poliittisia ideologioita, joita eri sosiaaliset ryhmät ylläpitävät. Esimerkiksi maahanmuuton kannatus tai vastustus tuo useimmiten mukanaan tukun muita asenteita sosiaali-, talous- ja turvallisuuspolitiikasta. Tavanomainen muuttujakeskeinen lähestymistapa asenteisiin ei kuitenkaan tavoita tätä. Tässä tutkimuksessa tarkasteltiin nuorten aikuisten (N=744, ikä 18-29, M=24,65) poliittisia asenteita henkilösuuntautuneesta näkökulmasta: mitä latentteja ryhmiä (vrt. ideologioita) asenteista muodostuu ja miten vastaajat siirtyvät niiden välillä pitkittäisseurannassa? Asenteet maahanmuutosta, sosi…
`Children Need Their Parents More Than a Pizza in the Fridge!'
2008
The aim of this study is to find constructions of parental responsibility by analysing letters sent by readers to a newspaper on the topic of parenting and parental responsibility. The study takes a methodological approach, focusing on the meanings of responsibility and looking at different portrayals of parenthood. Three dimensions of responsibility (beginning responsibility, diminished sense of responsibility and obligating responsibility) emerged from the analysis. These dimensions relate to different meanings attributed to parental responsibility, for instance, `responsibility for making choices'. Parenthood is variously portrayed along the three dimensions. Parental responsibility cre…
Willingness of Student to Favour the Protection of Endangered Species in a Trade-off Conflict in Finland
1994
Abstract This paper explores the willingness of Finnish students to favour protection of endangered species in a hypothetical trade-off conflict, where conservation would cause an increase in the household energy cost. The most striking result was the very distinct preference of species which the students felt worth protecting. The students favoured species which are well known, taxonomically close to man and actually endangered. Major differences occurred among students due to sex, educational institute, nature-related activity groups, as well as knowledge of nature and conservation issues.
El avance de las actitudes críticas entre el profesorado durante el tardofranquismo : el caso valenciano
2016
En este texto pretendemos reflexionar sobre el avance de las actitudes sociales críticas entre el profesorado durante la última etapa de dictadura franquista. Particularmente, a partir de un análisis de testimonios, informes políticos y bibliografía centrado en Valencia, analizaremos diversas dimensiones de este fenómeno, escasamente integrado en el debate sobre las actitudes sociales durante el franquismo. Así, destacamos su notable extensión y su importante influencia en la concienciación crítica de los estudiantes y la dinamización sociopolítica de los barrios y pueblos del tardofranquismo. En aquest text pretenem reflexionar sobre l'avenç de les actituds socials crítiques entre el profe…
Spaces of Liberation? Geo-Hermeneutical Reading of the New Women’s Novel in Jordan
2017
Contemporary feminist novelists in Jordan are raising issues of emancipation, patriarchal society, violence against women and social attitudes in unaccustomed ways unknown earlier in the country. This is embedded within the political and socio-economic developments taking place in the country since 1990. The main aim of this scenario is to explore and to re-think the space-gender nexus in the new women’s novel using geo-hermeneutical approaches.
Chekhov's Poetic and Social Realism on the Italian Stage, 1924-1964.
2008
This article explores the introduction of Chekhov's plays to Italy through émigré circles in the first decades of the twentieth century, and traces how they were appropriated to suit the ideological exigencies of the time during the fascist period. It concludes with observations about Luchino Visconti's celebrated productions of the 1950s, which stressed the idea that Chekhov was first and foremost a political writer, and suggests how this particular view of the dramatist evolved in the early 1960s as the theatre once again reflected social attitudes and values. Anna Sica is a lecturer at the University of Palermo. She has published monographs in Italy on the commedia dell'arte (1997), Arth…
Eco depletion: The impact of hunger on prosociality by means of environmentally friendly attitudes and behavior
2021
Abstract The present research investigated the impact of hunger on prosociality in a consumer choice context by means of environmentally friendly attitudes and behavior. Two eye-tracking studies were conducted with hunger measured (Study 1) and manipulated (Study 2). The data were analyzed through bivariate correlations, Pearson's chi-square tests, and analyses of variance (ANOVAs). Our findings, based on cross-sectional and experimental evidence from field and lab settings, revealed that hungry consumers express more prosocial attitudes than their satiated counterparts in terms of general environmental concerns and importance ratings of buying eco-labeled products. However, we found no sig…
The Moral Dimension in the Configuration and Historical Evolution of the Concept of Poverty
2015
The phenomenon of poverty shows clearly the overflow of its economic dimension towards a powerful moral dimension, which has caused (and causes) contradictory social attitudes: acceptance or rejection; blaming or understanding; charity or duties, liability or inevitable fate; involvement or alienation; visibility or invisibility. This work analyzes the moral connotations that have been historically forming the concept of poverty to lead the paradigms with which today we conceive it and from which we intend to face it and fight it.
Innoeduca : international journal of technology and educational innovation
2021
La integración de las tecnologías en el ámbito educativo es una realidad innegable en la sociedad del siglo XXI, caracterizada por los rápidos cambios que posibilitan la revolución educativa y la innovación. Muestra de ello es el uso de videojuegos en los centros escolares de las etapas de Educación Infantil y Primaria. Estas prácticas gamificadas mediante tecnología no están exentas de críticas o susceptibilidades sobre sus posibilidades educativas. Con el fin de describir los beneficios y posibilidades de la introducción de los videojuegos en las aulas detectados en la literatura científica, se ha realizado un estudio de revisión bibliográfica. Para ello, se utilizaron cuatro bases de dat…
