A design framework and principles for co-designing learning environments fostering learning and wellbeing
2018
Increased understanding of the complex synergetic influences of psychosocial and physical learning environments (LEs) on learning and wellbeing has drawn attention to their careful design. Contemporary learner-centred educational paradigms emphasise the importance of learner involvement in the LE design. A gap exists, however, between the theoretical discourses of LE design and their application into educational practice. Furthermore, a lack of shared conceptual understanding among studies conducted in different cultural and disciplinary contexts undermines the comparability, generalisability, and build-up of a coherent body of knowledge on the LE design. This educational design research re…
Centile estimation for a proportion response variable.
2015
This paper introduces two general models for computing centiles when the response variable Y can take values between 0 and 1, inclusive of 0 or 1. The models developed are more flexible alternatives to the beta inflated distribution. The first proposed model employs a flexible four parameter logit skew Student t (logitSST) distribution to model the response variable Y on the unit interval (0, 1), excluding 0 and 1. This model is then extended to the inflated logitSST distribution for Y on the unit interval, including 1. The second model developed in this paper is a generalised Tobit model for Y on the unit interval, including 1. Applying these two models to (1-Y) rather than Y enables model…
Dialog w wychowaniu do wartości w szkole
2021
Problematyka dialogu w pedagogice ma swoje źródła w rozwijającej się w XX wieku filozofii dialogu i filozofii spotkania. Analiza ogólnych znaczeń dialogu wskazuje na jego niezbędność w życiu człowieka. Ujmowanie dialogu w perspektywie pedagogicznej pozwala widzieć jego podmioty we właściwych relacjach, opartych na pełnym poszanowaniu i zrozumieniu. W artykule przedstawiono rolę dialogu w kształtowaniu świata wartości uczniów. Podkreślono istotę współdziałania, które we współczesnym świecie stanowi optymalny model interakcji nauczyciela z uczniami
The significance of student voice: female students’ interpretations of failure in Tanzanian secondary education
2014
Abstract: In Tanzania, the national examinations are used as the primary tools for selection and transition from lower to upper secondary education. Female students are more likely to fail in the national exams and to drop out from education. This article examines the perspectives of female students concerning their advancement in secondary education. Two sets of qualitative data, responses to a research questionnaire from 100 female lower secondary school students and follow-up interviews with seven mature students enrolled in a non-formal school who had failed in the national examinations, were analysed to identify critical issues influencing the educational advancement of female students…
Enriching primary student teachers’ conceptions about science teaching: Towards dialogic inquirybased teaching
2012
Inquiry-based teaching has been at the heart of science education since it was first outlined in national standards over a decade ago. The general idea behind the inquiry guidelines is that pupils would adopt ways of conducting science, in addition to conceptually learning, thus attaining also the epistemological dimension of science. Although curricula are based on these ideas of inquiry, all too often authentic inquiry is hindered by overly authoritative approaches and teacher directions. To avoid this, the communicational ways in which teachers can encourage pupil reasoning during different phases of inquiry should be explicitly addressed. This paper addresses this gap by introducing a d…

2021
Pētījuma “Latvijas Universitātes studentu digitālā pratība attālināto studiju laikā” mērķis ir noskaidrot, vai studentiem ir pietiekama digitālā pratība, lai īstenotu attālināto studiju procesu. Pētījuma teorētisko bāzi veido pragmatisms, konektīvisma teorija, ELIS modelis un digitālās pratības ietvars DigComp2.0. Empīriskā pētījuma veikšanai tika izmantota anketēšana, intervēšana un fokusgrupas diskusija. Pētījuma rezultāti parāda, ka studentu digitālā pratība attālināto studiju laikā ir uzlabojusies. Lielākā daļa studentu uzskata, ka viņiem ir nepieciešamās digitālās prasmes, taču tās var pilnveidot. Pamatojoties uz pētījumā ievāktajiem datiem, var secināt, ka problēmu risināšana un nepie…

School principals’ point of view on pupils’ participation
2021
La participación es un derecho que los niños y niñas deben tener la oportunidad de ejercer y la escuela es un escenario idóneo para que el alumnado pueda hacer oír su voz exponiendo ideas, tomando decisiones y formulando propuestas. Con el objetivo de detectar las opciones del alumnado de participar en el centro y apuntar vías para maximizarlas efectuamos un estudio a partir de un cuestionario elaborado ad hoc dirigido a todos y todas los directores y directoras de escuelas de Cataluña. En concreto, participaron 684 y los resultados indican que los niños y las niñas no solo opinan en clase, sino que toman decisiones cuando trabajan en grupo, en relación con la convivencia o votando sus prop…
The difficulties of adapting university teaching for students with disabilities : an analysis focussed on inclusive guidance
2012
The need for specific attention for the personal, social, academic and professional development of students with disabilities is a challenge that the university is committed to. Although significant progress has been made, promoted by an inclusive educational approach, there are still many difficulties faced by students to intergrate into university education. To advance a deeper understanding of the issues affecting these students, research has been conducted with a sample of 113 students with disabilities from different centers in the University of La Laguna (Spain). The results have highlighted, the lack of guidance and information regarding access to university courses, the need to impl…
