English teachers’ motives for joining teaching specific Facebook groups and the perceived usefulness of them
2018
Erilaiset sosiaaliset mediat ja niiden käytön laajeneminen on ollut yksi suurimmista puheenaiheista teknologian saralla viimeisen parin vuosikymmenen aikana. Suurin ja eniten käyttäjiä keräävä sosiaalisen median kanava nykypäivänä on Facebook. Alusta onkin herättänyt suurta kiinnostusta myös koulutuksen ja opetuksen tutkimuksen saralla. Suurin osa aiemmin tehdystä tutkimuksesta on keskittynyt Facebookin soveltuvuuteen opetusalustana, opiskelijoiden väliseen kommunikointiin sekä kuinka opettajan Facebookin käyttö vaikuttaa hänen uskottavuuteensa. Täten opettajien välistä kommunikointia Facebookissa ei ole juurikaan tutkittu. Tämän kandidaatintutkielman tehtävänä oli selvittää, miksi suomalai…
Bildungsexpansion, soziale Klasse und die Wahl von Latein als Strategie der Distinktion
2021
In times of educational expansion, privileged families are looking for new strategies of distinction. Referring to Pierre Bourdieu���s theory of distinction, we argue that choosing Latin at school ��� a language that is no longer spoken and therefore has no direct value ��� is one of the strategies of privileged families to set themselves apart from less privileged families. Based on two surveys we conducted at German schools, the paper analyzes the relationship between parents��� educational background and the probability that their child will learn Latin. Results indicate that historically academic families have the strongest tendency towards learning Latin, followed by new academic famil…
Identificación de factores influyentes en el proceso de aprendizaje en estudios de máster
2019
[ES] La puesta en marcha de los postgrados ha supuesto, en muchos casos, la incorporación de metodologías más apropiadas a este nivel educativo. En el trabajo que se presenta se estudia la repercusión de una metodología, que combina el modelo tradicional y el design thinking, en el rendimiento académico de los estudiantes de un máster ofertado por la Universitat de València y enmarcado dentro de la rama de ciencias sociales y jurídicas. El estudio hace énfasis en si el resultado obtenido aplicando dicha metodología muestra diferencias atendiendo a factores del alumnado de tipo académico y personal (estudios universitarios previos, situación laboral, ...). Si dichas disparidades se confirmar…
Educación XX1 : revista de la Facultad de Educación
2017
Introducción: La institucionalización del Aprendizaje-Servicio (ApS) en la universidad recomienda, en primer lugar, el análisis de la cultura docente del profesorado y su actitud hacia la innovación. Precisamente, lo que este trabajo pretende es aportar un modelo teórico integrador desarrollando tres escalas de evaluación, contrastadas a través de pruebas estadísticas, para el contexto de la enseñanza universitaria en España. Metodología: A fin de elaborar el modelo de medida se aplicaron tres escalas a 1903 profesoras y profesores de 6 universidades españolas: una escala de práctica docente (18 ítems), otra sobre compromiso social de la Universidad (9 ítems), y una tercera, sobre prácticas…
Valutazione e feedback: la competenza docimologica come competenza comunicativa. Una ricerca con i docenti della scuola secondaria
2021
La competenza docimologica degli insegnanti costituisce uno dei perni dell’azione didattica allorché essa può costituire, di fatto, una molla per la promozione dell’apprendimento, dell’autonomia e del successo formativo di ogni alunno. Il feedback, inteso come strumento privilegiato nell’esercizio della prassi valutativa, offre l’opportunità di valorizzare la singolarità dei percorsi di ogni studente intelaiando interazioni comunicative volte alla co-costruzione di conoscenza. La competenza docimologica degli insegnanti assume, pertanto, i connotati della competenza comunicativa, la quale sostanzia e orienta le scelte valutative diversificando registri linguistici e scelte degli strumenti d…
Students and teachers opinions about English teaching in Finnish polytechnics
2009
Tämän tutkielman tarkoituksena oli selvittää ammattikorkeakouluopiskelijoiden ja - opettajien näkemyksiä ammattikorkeakoulujen englannin kielen opetuksen tasosta ja onko siinä mahdollisesti puutteita. Tutkielmassa oli myös oleellista selvittää, miten ammattikorkeakouluopiskelijat suhtautuvat englannin kielen opetukseen ja minkälaista hyötyä he kokevat saavansa opetuksesta tulevaisuutta varten. Aikaisempi tutkimus ammattikorkeakoulujen kielten opetuksesta ja oppimisesta on lähinnä keskittynyt tutkimaan tehokkuutta kielen oppimisessa ja kansainvälisyyttä oppimisen tavoitteena. Tutkimusta varten haastattelin kahta opettajaa Jyväskylän ammattikorkeakoulusta ja kahtatoista opiskelijaa eri ammat…
Teaching Language Engineering Using MPS
2021
At universities, computer language handling is most often taught with a focus on compiler theory. However, in practical applications, domain-specific languages (DSLs) are much more important. DSLs implement model-driven technology in an understandable way, as models can be expressed easily using DSLs. One interesting domain for DSLs in this context is language handling itself, and many current tools for language handling are model-driven and based on meta-models. This chapter connects compiler theory and meta-modelling within a university course about language handling. The course features the relevant theory and uses MPS as a practical tool. We show how MPS is used in the course and discus…
Computer graphics applications in the education process of people with learning difficulties
2007
This paper describes the use of Real Time graphic applications as educational tools, specifically oriented to working with people who have certain learning difficulties. We first focus on identifying the most relevant traits (from a psychological point of view) of those disorders, then we continue by analysing the advantages of graphics in Real Time in this context, and how they can be used to complement the conventional teaching methods. Finally, we review the main characteristics of two applications belonging to this category, which serve as a practical example of this encounter between education and technology.
Cognition of Korean-English secondary school teachers about intercultural dimension in EFL teaching

Being the first and foremost foreign language subject in Korea, English classroom is considered to be the right place to address different cultures and the intercultural competence. Then, how English teachers understand intercultural competence would be important since it would greatly affect their teaching. The aim of this study is to investigate how Korean-English secondary school teachers understand intercultural dimension in EFL teaching in relation to their teaching context; and how their reported practices look like. 37…
