Flipping burgers or flipping pages? Student employment and academic attainment in post-Soviet Latvia
2007
Latvian higher education has undergone a dramatic transition since 1991. This study employs a survey of nearly 1000 social science students studying in 13 different institutions in Latvia to consider the impact of the increase in the number of students who are working while studying. Evidence indicates employment has a strong and significant negative impact on school performance, and the negative impact increases as weekly hours worked increase. This manifests itself through reduced class attendance and reduced time spent in independent study. Finally, we find that the probability of student employment is most significantly affected by the availability of financial aid, gender, ethnicity, a…

 El abordaje metodológico fue cuanti-cualitativo. Los datos fueron construidos a partir de la aplicación de encuestas y la realización de grupos focales con estudiantes varones y m…
Becoming agentic teachers : Experiences of the home group approach as a resource for supporting teacher students' agency
2018
Abstract This study focuses on the experiences of first-year teacher students in a Finnish teacher education department regarding ways in which studying in stable “home groups” supported or restricted their agency. The findings of the interviews with 22 teacher students suggest that perception of home groups as emotionally safe and offering opportunities to break traditional authority relationship supported teacher students' agency, which was manifested in identity negotiations and active participation. Perception of inequality and tensions within home groups restricted students' agency. The findings underline the need for keen awareness of factors affecting teacher students' agency when ap…
Entrepreneurship in Burkina Faso : An Economic Analysis of Occupational Choices in the Labor Market and Student Entrepreneurial Intentions
2020
The dominant view of entrepreneurship, particularly in developed countries, is a risky, dynamic activity undertaken voluntarily by a certain category of individuals - " so-called superstars" - in order to benefit more earning opportunities and greater social influence. However, this dynamic view of entrepreneurship contrasts with what is generally described in developing countries, where self-employment is largely conducted in the informal sector; a segment of the labor market that is considered "precarious" and only allows the individual to escape unemployment. Nevertheless, a number of studies, in Africa and more so in Latin America, show that this segment is desirable and likely to provi…

Distinctive and comparative places: Alternative narratives of distinction within international student mobility
2017
Moving beyond the ‘world-class’ institutional model of international student mobility, this paper examines alternative narratives of distinction relating to place of study. Drawing on semi-structured interviews with international students at universities in the UK, Austria and Latvia, we illustrate how students inside and outside mainstream reputable higher education institutions narrate and reconfigure markers of distinction to validate their international mobility and location of study, in part to compete with peers at other (more prestigious) institutions. We demonstrate the importance of lifestyle and experiential places within a global differentiated higher education landscape and argu…
A KST-BASED SYSTEM FOR STUDENT TUTORING
2008
Abstract: A novel assessment procedure based on knowledge space theory (KST) is presented along with a complete implementation of an intelligent tutoring system. (ITS) that has been used to test our theoretical findings. The key idea is that correct assessment of the student knowledge is strictly related to the structure of the domain ontology. Suitable relationships between the concepts must be present to allow the creation of a reverse path from the "knowledge state" representing the student goal to the one that contains her actual knowledge about this topic. Knowledge space theory is a very good framework to guide the process of building the ontology used, by the artificial tutor The sys…
