Qu'est-ce que le modele TenKeys* (dix clés) propre au leadership collaboratif? De quelle facon le leader peut-il faire preuve de leadership collaboratif? Quels sont les effets du leadership collaboratif selon les recherches effectuees? Par l'entremise de ces questions, nous ferons egalement valoir que l…
A Framework of Professional Transferable Competences for System Innovation: Enabling Leadership and Agency for Sustainable Development
2021
System Innovation (SI) is a critical approach in driving individual and collective actions towards sustainable development (SD). This article presents the validation process of the Climate-KIC Professional Competence Framework (CF) for SI. This framework is based on principles of system thinking and the need for human capital to deal with challenges related to long-term sustainability. It comprises twenty competences grouped into five stages that describe contexts where professionals implement transformations: Exploring, Framing, Designing, Implementing and Strengthening. The stages are not linear or strictly sequential because overlapping and loops are frequent in transformational and disr…
Corporate storytelling and the idea of Latin America
2021
The aim of this article is contributing to a great variety of theoretical perspectives and empirical settings to generate cumulative evidence about the influence of historical legacies and organisational ability for managing the past. In a continuation of critical perspectives that challenges the dominance of Anglo-Saxon onto-epistemologies in management and organisation studies (MOS), we conducted an empirical study on a multinational airline company whose past successes depended on the North/South, Anglo/Latin American borderlands. We analysed the grand narratives of Pan American Airways' (PAA) corporate archival material to determine its dominant discourses about people from Latin Americ…
Situazioni didattiche per pensare e ripensare criticamente la conoscenza
2022
Un obiettivo fondamentale da considerare a scuola come all’università è l’esercizio della capacità critica. Le abilità di pensiero critico sono sempre più necessarie per insegnare ai giovani a comprendere, a pensare meglio usando strategie di controllo ed autoanalisi della conoscenza. Il pensiero critico è importante nei contesti sociali e interpersonali in cui devono essere assunte scelte adeguate, autonome e indipendenti. Leggere e scrivere sono strumenti che aiutano gli studenti a ripensare e chiarire, discernere e valutare, interpretare significati in rapido cambiamento. Dopo una breve rassegna di studi, sono approfonditi gli obiettivi e le azioni per potenziare il pensiero critico negl…
Literacy Education: The First Step towards Literacy Competence
2014
Partiendo del concepto de literacidad en el siglo XXI y la importancia de desarrollar la capacidad del pensamiento crítico en los estudiantes tanto de primaria como de secundaria, este capítulo argumenta a favor de la competencia literaria como clave de la educación integral. The development of literacy at an early stage in the education of young learners turns crucial in order for them to manage, analyze, critique and synthesize multiple streams of simultaneous information. The degree to which students can make use of language to read and understand texts in all formats (books, on-line newspapers, pictures, videos, etc) is a key indicator of their ability to make and communicate meaning.
Bridging Art and Mathematics: Introduction
2017
There is a long history of interdisciplinary discussions on the relations between science, mathematics, geometry, art, aesthetics, and artistic praxes. These discussions remain active and pertinent today: the aforementioned relations are explored in various scientific communities, journals, and at conferences. Globally, numerous scholars and artists share a common interest in combining creative thinking, intellectual curiosity, and aesthetic sensibility in their work. Various experts working in different scientific and technological fields are inspired by phenomena that combine mathematical and artistic qualities. Respectively, several contemporary artists, graphic designers, craftsmen, and…
Why do we enjoy creative tasks? Results from a multigroup randomized controlled study
2016
Previous studies have linked positive emotions with creativity, but it remains unknown why creative activities may enhance positive emotions. We tested how creative tasks influence autonomous self-expression and task absorption, and whether this in turn increases positive emotions. Data from 478 participants were divided into four language samples (English, German, Italian, and Polish) and analyzed in a series of multigroup structural equation models. The indirect effects were replicated in all samples. Creative tasks enhanced positive emotions through an increase in autonomy. However, participants who solved creative tasks also reported lower task absorption, and this has hindered their ex…
Evaluation of a creativity intervention program for preschoolers
2013
Abstract Creative practices during the preschool years of childhood appear to positively influence subsequent development. Taking a comprehensive approach, an intervention program was undertaken to develop creativity, taking into consideration the end result of the creative process as well as the process itself, and working with divergent as well as convergent thinking abilities. A quasi-experimental design was applied, taking pre and post-intervention measures in a group of 44 children ranging in age from 60 to 71 months-old. Experimental and control groups were assessed using the Test de Creatividad Infantil (Child Creativity Test) and the cognitive subtest of the Battelle Developmental I…
Factors Influencing Lower Secondary School Pupils’ Success in Programming Projects in Scratch
2020
In the Czech Republic, a radical change in the school curriculum is planned. Through a new, compulsory subject of “Informatics and ICT”, the aim is to develop digital literacy across all school subjects, and computational thinking. Computational thinking will be implemented in the curriculum of pre-primary, primary, lower and upper secondary schools, and in teacher education at all faculties of education in the Czech Republic. To ensure readiness for the implementation of the new subject, it has been necessary to prepare and develop a set of learning materials for pupils and teaching guidelines for teachers. These textbooks focus on robotics, programming (Scratch, Python), and theoretical c…
Kohti valveutumista ja ajattelun rajoja kriittisen pedagogiikan keinoilla
2018
Katsauksessa pohdimme kriittisen pedagogiikan mahdollisuuksia lisätä opettajaopiskelijoiden kykyä jäsentää yhteiskunnallisten ilmiöiden suhdetta kasvatukseen. Esimerkkinä käytämme Lapset elämänsä valtiaiksi -hanketta, jota Tampereen ammattikorkeakoulun sosionomikoulutuksessa on toteutettu Venäjällä ja Virossa. Siinä sosiokulttuurisen innostamisen avulla, opiskelijoiden oman osallistumisen kautta, pyritään luomaan solidaarisuuteen ja tasa-arvoon kurkottavia yksilöitä. Toiminnan keskeisiä arvoja ovat yhteisöllisyys, osallistuminen, dialogi ja luovuus. Prosessin päämääränä on todellisuuden kriittinen tarkastelu ja siitä kumpuava toiminta. Kriittisen pedagogiikan sovelluksia toteutetaan yliopis…
