The Study of the Scale through Space. Teaching Innovation Experience among Architecture Schools: Malaga, Seville and Palermo
2018
The educational innovation project object of this communication focuses on the scale problems that arise in the projects of territorial planning carried out in architecture schools, but also in the loss of the scale concept related to thought and drawing. The project involved collaboration among the Schools of Architecture of Malaga, Palermo and Seville with the aim of carrying out a practical exercise among the students of two subjects that, working on different scales, addressed similar concepts. In particular, following an PBL methodology based on collaborative projects, the planning of the N-340 road in the city of Nerja (Málaga) was carried out. Firstly, the territorial scale is addres…
Studi greci e latini nell?antica Università di Altamura (1748-1821)
2019
The article tries to highlight, despite the scarse of available documentation, the Greek and Latin studies (language and texts) in the ancient Apulian University in Altamura (1748-1821). Furthermore, on the basis of unpublished archival materials (school registers and student workbooks) it is possible to shed light on the ancient authors explained at school, the teaching methods, and the study practices.
Teaching types with a cognitively effective worked example format
2015
AbstractTeaching functional programming as a second programming paradigm is often difficult as students can have strong preconceptions about programming. When most of these preconceived ideas fail to be confirmed, functional programming may be seen as an unnecessarily difficult topic. A typical topic that causes such difficulties is the language of types employed by many modern functional languages. In this paper, we focus on addressing this difficulty through the use of step-by-step calculations of type expressions. The outcome of the study is an elaboration of a worked example format and a methodical approach for teaching types to beginner functional programmers.
Modelling thermionic emission by using a two Level mechanical system
2008
The Boltzmann factor is at the basis of a great amount of thermodynamic and statistical physics, both classical and quantum. It describes the behaviour of natural systems that exchange energy with the environment. However, why does the expression have that specific form? The Feynman Lectures on Physics justifies it heuristically by referencing to the "exponential atmosphere" example. Thermodynamics textbooks usually give a more or less complete explanation that mainly involves a mathematical analysis, where it is hard to see the logic flow. Moreover, the necessary mathematics is not at the level of high school or college students' preparation. Here we present an experiment and a simulation …
Traditional studying for examination versus constructivist learning tasks: Do learning outcomes differ?
1998
ABSTRACT Students' learning outcomes on an educational psychology course which involved studying three textbooks were compared between a constructivist class without a final examination and a traditional class concluding with an examination. The constructivist group (n = 16) studied the coursebooks with the help of writing assignments, discussed their assignments in groups and wrote an essay. The control group (n = 23) read the books on their own, attended lectures and took an examination. Learning outcomes were investigated (1) as the students' subjective learning experiences; (2) as changes in the students' learning conceptions; and (3) as measured by a traditional examination in which th…
Teaching and learning business ethics in a multicultural group
2017
Building on a constructivist learning theory and a case teaching method, this article suggests a mixed learning approach for teaching business ethics in a multicultural group. The purpose is to present the objectives and implementation of the mixed learning approach in a case course with a multicultural group. Based on the students' feedback, we also analyse and discuss the effects of the mixed learning approach on students' learning experiences. The article contributes to the growing stream of literature on business ethics teaching in higher education by presenting an approach that allows teachers and students to join in constructive knowledge creation in a multicultural group. In so doing…

An English teacher's ways of motivating students in Dangerous Minds and Dead Poets Society
2014
Pedagogiikassa ja kielenopetuksen tutkimuksessa on jo vuosia painotettu motivaation merkitystä sekä oppilaille että opettajille ja motivaation vaikutusta oppimiseen. Motivaatiota on tutkittu laajasti ja monipuolisesti samoin kuin vaikuttavia tekijöitä oppilasmotivaatiossa, mutta englannin opettajan keinoja motivoida oppilaita ei ole tarkasteltu samalla aktiivisuudella. Täydentääkseen tätä tutkimuskenttää tämä tutkielma tutkii nimenomaan englannin opettajien keinoja motivoida oppilaita esitettynä elokuvissa Dangerous Minds sekä Dead Poets Society. Tutkimus keskustelee myös siitä, voidaanko näitä keinoja soveltaa käytännön opetustyöhön ja kuinka hyvin nämä keinot vastaavat motivoivan opetukse…
Metodologías de enseñanza y aprendizaje del arte en la educación primaria
2011
La investigación que aquí se resume está centrada en el arte y su historia dentro de la educación primaria ya que se considera esta materia como clave para desvelar la mirada de los niños hacia el mundo que les rodea y así puedan aprender a descodificarlo. Desde el inicio de la investigación, se ha intuido que todavía no tenemos ninguna teoría del conocimiento que nos explique por qué los mismos niños pueden aprender entusiasmados algo y no querer aprender otra cosa. La investigación quería encontrar y aislar algunos de los factores que contribuyen al aprendizaje centrándose en las diferencias en el método de enseñanza como factor clave.
