Pull factors for university students’ mobility: a gravity model approach
2020
Migration phenomena are characterised by flows that are typically multilateral. Often an outgoing flow corresponds to one or more incoming flows, which counterbalances it. When the balance is negative, socio-economic problems can arise. Italy has been afflicted for years by a particular type of unilateral migration: student mobility. Thousands of students leave the South to study in the Centre-North, driven by the better socio-economic conditions of those areas, and by more prosperous job prospects. Since this flow is not followed by a return one, nor by other incoming flows, the historical, socio-economic gap between North and South is widened. Taking advantage of the big dataset concernin…
Svensklärarnas skrivundervisning på gymnasienivå
2013
Tämän tutkielman tarkoituksena oli kartoittaa, millaisia kirjoittamistehtäviä ja työskentelytapoja lukion ruotsinopettajat käyttävät opettaessaan kirjoittamista, sekä selvittää, ovatko opettajat huomanneet joidenkin tehtävätyyppien tai työtapojen olevan oppimisen kannalta tehokkaampia kuin toisten. Tarkoituksena oli myös saada selville, eriyttävätkö opettajat kirjoittamisen opetusta sekä kuinka paljon ylioppilaskirjoitukset vaikuttavat opetukseen. Tutkielma toteutettiin kyselytutkimuksena, ja sen aineistona olivat 19 ruotsinopettajan kyselylomakevastaukset, jotka kerättiin joulukuun 2012 aikana Suomen Ruotsinopettajien liiton sähköpostilistan kautta. Kyselykaavake sisälsi kahdeksan väittämä…
Staff Members’ Professional Agency within the Staff Community and the Education Policies: Supporting Integration in Multicultural and Multiling…
2022
In recent decades, increased diversity and migration have challenged school staff members’ ways of working. This study aimed to identify the challenges faced by Finnish school staff in supporting students with migrant backgrounds, and to elaborate on how they enact professional agency toward these challenges. The data consist of 15 thematic interviews with staff members across various work positions in two Finnish lower secondary schools. Based on thematic analysis, the challenges within the staff community and the education policies were found to include the following: (1) the diversification of students makes tensions more visible in the staff community, and (2) inflexible education polic…
Biosystems Engineering curricula in Europe
2013
This paper describes the history of the harmonisation of agricultural/biosystems engineering degree study programs in Europe from 1989, when the need for this process was widely felt, until now, when this need was partly satisfied through the implementation of the projects of two EU funded thematic networks, i.e., USAEE-TN and ERABEE-TN. The objective of this paper is to contribute to promote, in each EU country and elsewhere, the process of harmonisation of agricultural/biosystems engineering degree study programs, and student and graduate mobility within the EU, as well as between the EU and the USA. At present, in Europe, this harmonisation process is aided by the key results of the proj…

A person-oriented approach to sport and school burnout in adolescent student-athletes: The role of individual and parental expectations

Design and methods The participants were 391 student-athletes (51% females) from six different upper secondary sport schools in Finland, and 448 parents (58% mothers). The athletes filled in q…

Orientare alla scelta post-diploma con la metodologia “SeCo”
2018
I tentativi di collegare coerentemente le esperienze formative vissute, le competenze possedute nel presente e le aspettative formativo-professionali attestano negli studenti liceali di 17-18 anni la presenza di un bisogno fondamentale di orientamento. Essi non possono recuperare il senso unitario del loro itinerario formativo-professionale se non decidono liberamente di progettarlo. Il progetto di vita professionale dà ai giovani la direzione di senso in cui rendersi protagonisti consapevoli delle loro scelte. La «scrittura espressiva» proposta in senso prospettico, ovvero volta alla descrizione di alcuni aspetti della propria personalità e delle aspettative professionali riguardanti possi…

CLIL Implementation in Greece : Empirical Findings from 2006 to 2020
2023
Abstract Despite the increasing interest in CLIL in Greece over the past decade, Greek CLIL research is largely absent from international review studies. This systematic review focuses on primary and secondary education, and examines peer-reviewed empirical research on CLIL implementation in Greece from 2006 to 2020. A total of 33 items are reviewed using qualitative Content Analysis. Organized according to commonalities shared by their foci, the reviewed items highlight three main research areas of CLIL implementation in Greece: (1) CLIL project evaluation, (2) CLIL students’ development, and (3) CLIL teachers. The reviewed studies suggest that CLIL implementation in Greece tends to be qua…
