L’integrazione dei compiti della madre e del padre nell’educazione dei figli e delle figlie
2016
The harmonious development of youth personality requires family stability and a positive emotional atmosphere; both needs are threatened by pedagogical errors both theoretical and practical. Educationalists develop skills in parents when undertaking to understand their real needs refraining from using abstract models. The phenomenological study of the most frequent educational behavior is a good starting point to set training interventions for parents. Human imperfections, experienced in their parents – as their primary caregivers – do not prevent children from achieving their potential once they perceive in them a recognition of mistakes and a desire for improvement. Educational relationsh…
"Rational herding in crowdfunding, social preferences under uncertainty, and overplacement in known and unknown tasks: a behavioral approach"
2020
It has been proved in this dissertation how experimental economics continues to be a tool that, as it nourishes theoretical economics (and viceversa), it keeps producing results that are necessary to understand how to articulate social relations which, ultimately, have consequences oneconomic relations. Specifically, Chapter 1 has studied how the dissemination of new information affects crowdfunding markets and the generation of herding behaviour. Specifically, we provide evidence in that such behaviour is rational and could be well moulded through optimal choice under uncertainty with Bayesian review of beliefs. In this sense, the effect of the first sponsors on the agents# behaviour has b…
Mathematical modelling and activation – a study on a large class, a project-based task and students' flow
2018
International audience; We studied how engineering students in a large class (n=346) can be activated by a project-based task, in which they have to model mathematically the motion of an object. The students had to throw an object, use (1) their smart phones for filming, and (2) tracker software for capturing the motion. Through a poster, they had to report their video analysis. We framed activation through the concept of flow, which is a state of being fully absorbed by an activity. We administered a web-based questionnaire (response rate 69%). The results show that such a project-based task is feasible with >300 students and activated them: three out of five experienced flow. Also, we val…
Znaczenie doświadczanych emocji dla rozwiązywania zadań problemowych przez makiawelistów
2017
The study shows that there is a connection between machiavellism and the way of solving problem tasks in the situation when selected emotions are inducted. The results also show that people with a high level of machiavellism are characterized by stop self-control (DeBoer, B., Van Hooft, E., Bakker, A., 2011) and that induction of emotions among these people doesn’t have the same connection with the way of solving problem tasks as among people with low level of machiavellism. Additionally, the results show that people with high level of machiavellism don’t trust other people and are competitive.
Mathematical modeling and competencies for biology students
2017
International audience; The research aims at introducing modeling tasks with an ultimate goal to engage students more actively into learning mathematics through tasks that are biologically 'colored'. My focus is on the individual progression (if any) of students' mathematical competencies during a sequence of modeling sessions as part of their first year mathematics. My goal is to explore the nature of progression within the competency profile of participating student, the relation between modeling processes and this progression and what transformations are applied in these sets of competencies.
To Move or Not to Move. That is the question.
2011
International audience; In the same way that scientists have to "Publish or perish!", medical students, residents and young doctors in France have to "Move or perish!". "La mobilité" (professional mobility) has become a key word in French medical circles. Thus, in 2003, a group of English teachers at the Dijon School of Medicine and at ENS-Lettres et Sciences Humaines (Lyon) conducted a mobility-related needs assessment to identify how we could help young professionals prepare for their stay abroad in English-speaking environments. To assess the actual needs of French professionals, we first contacted a cardiovascular surgeon, Eric Steinmetz, who had spent one year as a research fellow in S…
Meaningful Work Protects Teachers’ Self-Rated Health under Stressors
2020
A sense of meaningfulness is one of the most sought?after work characteristics which has been associated with employees’ well-being. This study explored whether meaningful work enhances self-rated health in challenging work context, under the stressors of distractions, unnecessary tasks, and unreasonable tasks. Data was collected from Finnish teachers (N = 1,658) and structural equation modelling was employed with the latent interaction terms. Results showed that meaningful work was associated with better self-rated health and the stressors were associated with poorer self-rated health. Protective potential of meaningful work against stressors was also discovered, as meaningful work mitigat…
Agency and Motivation to Achieve Language-learning Objectives among Learners in an Academic Environment in France
2014
Personal agency within the area of learning may be construed as a process wherein learning objectives are achieved through volitional direction and tacit involvement in learning. Within the present study, perceived agency is the degree to which learners believe that the efforts they are putting into the language-learning process is sufficient with respect to the learning objective. Some learners assume that attending classes assiduously generates an entitlement to pass the course, thereby believing that the learning goal has been achieved. In other words, their perception is that they have displayed a high degree of agency in spite of what may sometimes prove to be a very low degree of pers…
Nauka pisania w języku obcym a stymulowanie rozwoju kompetencji lingwistycznych: gramatycznych i leksykalnych
2021
W artykule przedstawiono alternatywny sposób pracy nad umiejętnością pisania w języku obcym, ukierunkowany nie tylko na czynne przyswojenie wzorców tekstowych właściwych dla danej społeczności językowo-kulturowej oraz uaktywnianie struktur językowych (gramatycznych, leksykalnych), ale także na doskonalenie kompetencji lingwistycznej. Punkt wyjścia stanowiło założenie, że analiza tekstów pisanych w języku obcym pozwala rozpoznać problemy ich autorów z przyswojeniem systemu leksykalnego i gramatycznego danego języka, nie tylko niepoprawne stosowanie struktur i form gramatycznych (co świadczy o ich nieopanowaniu), ale i brak w tekstach konstrukcji i form, którymi uczący powinien już posługiwać…
Vecāku iesaiste jaunu skolēnu/audzēkņu valodas apguvē
2017
Plaša un noderīga vārdu krājuma attīstība veicina gan lasītprasmi, gan palīdz skolēnam veiksmīgi iesaistīties sociālajā dzīvē. Turklāt sabiedrība bieži vien ir pārliecināta, ka pilnīgs un plašs vārdu krājums raksturo izglītotu un intelektuāli attīstītu personu. Noderīga un spēcīgi attīstīta vārdu krājuma izveide ir galvenais faktors valodas apguvei pamatlīmenī. Taču valodu skolotājiem bieži problēmas sagādā vispiemērotākās metodes izvēle, kas palīdzētu apgūt valodu un tās vārdu krājumu. Viena no visefektīvākajām pieejām, kuru var lietot valodas apguvē, ir vecāku iesaiste, tā kā vecāki ir bērnu pirmie tiešie skolotāji un ieņem ļoti nozīmīgu lomu viņu bērnu izglītības pamatu izveidē – jo īpaš…
