The Connection of Machiavellianism, Self-control and Induced Emotions with Solving Tasks
2014
The presented research shows that there is a connection between Machiavellianism and the way of solving problem tasks in the situations of inducing chosen emotions. The results obtained in this research show that Machiavellians are characterised by the self-control of the stop type and that the induction of emotions has not such a connection with solving tasks by them as it is in case of people with a low level of Machiavellianism. Moreover, it has been shown that people with high Machiavellianism do not trust other people and are focused on the maximization of profit.

Who Becomes U.S. Mathematics Teachers: A Longitudinal Analysis of First-time Praxis® II Mathematics Content Knowledge Examinees
2018
International audience; The U.S. uses the Praxis® tests to measure academic skills and the subject-specific content knowledge needed to be a teacher. This study examined Praxis® Mathematics Content Knowledge scores from 2006 to 2016 to describe patterns in who are becoming certified to teach mathematics in the country. Longitudinal analyses were used to discern patterns in the demographics of examinees and trends in exam performance across several demographic characteristics. The results reveal substantial differences in performance and pass rates between examinees of different genders, races, undergraduate majors, undergraduate GPAs, and census regions. From our analyses, we suggest severa…
MOCSE Centered on Students: Validation of Learning Demands and Teacher Support Scales
2020
Based on The Educational Situation Quality Model (MOCSE, acronym in Spanish) framework, the primary objective of this study is to test the factorial validity and reliability of two MOCSE measure instruments referred to the preactional-decisional phase, specifically to learning demands and teacher supports perceived by students to overcome such demands in the classroom context. The participants were 357 Spanish undergraduate students. The data obtained by exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses revealed that the “Learning Demands Scale” (MOCSE-LDS) has a two-factor structure: perceived desirability and feasibility of demands. The data also revealed that the “Teacher Support Questionnair…
"Teachers teach so well that it's nice to learn" : a case-study on the role of teacher-to-student feedback in attitude-formation on L2 elementary Eng…
2015
Arviointi ja palautteenanto ovat oleellisia asioita opettajan jokapäiväisessä työssä. Lisäksi asenteiden tutkiminen on tällä hetkellä suosittu tutkimusala. Tässä tapaustutkimuksessa tutkittiin, millaista vuorovaikutuksellista palautetta opettaja antaa oppilailleen alakoulun englannin kielen tunneilla, ja millainen yhteys sillä on oppilaiden asenteisiin englannin kieltä kohtaan. Tutkimusaineisto koostui kolmesta opettajasta ja heidän oppilaistaan; yksi englannin kielen aineenopettaja ja hänen viidesluokkalainen ryhmänsä sekä kaksi luokanopettajaa ja heidän neljäs- ja viidesluokkalaisensa. Tutkimusaineisto koottiin metodisella triangulaatiolla. Aluksi oppilaille teetettiin kartoittava kysely …
From single to multi-variable Calculus: a transition?
2018
International audience; We recently used the notion of praxeology from the Anthropological Theory of the Didactic to model the knowledge that is necessary for students to learn in order to succeed in an undergraduate multivariable Calculus course. We considered the presence and absence of elements of the knowledge to be taught, as proposed by curricular documents, in the knowledge to be learned, as indicated by final exams. Our results indicate that the mathematical activities expected of students at this level align with the activities observed in differential and integral Calculus, where exercise-driven assessments set students' work mainly in the recognition of types of tasks and recolle…
Valutazione tra pari all’università: due approcci didattici a confronto
2020
Nell’ambito della didattica universitaria occorre rinnovare e diversificare gli strumenti di valutazione includendo sempre più anche tecnologie progettate per la valutazione. Il presente contributo mira a contribuire alla riflessione sulle pratiche didattiche che risultano più efficaci per l’integrazione delle nuove tecnologie per la valutazione formativa e la valutazione tra pari in università. In particolare si vuole verificare se l’utilizzo di tali forme valutative tramite la piattaforma Peergrade sia più efficace in un approccio didattico basato sull’interazione face-to-face o su interazioni a distanza tra una lezione e la successiva. La ricerca, condotta su un campione di 203 studenti …
Progettare per lo sviluppo della competenza negli alunni: organizzazione didattica e controllo dei risultati
2016
Per l’insegnante un problema cruciale è come organizzare, a partire da particolari requisiti e vincoli, esperienze di apprendimento che contribuiscano ad accrescere negli allievi la comprensione delle acquisizioni culturali, la capacità di risolvere problemi con senso critico e autonomia, l’attitudine a operare scelte consapevoli. L’obiettivo del contributo è indagare le condizioni in cui gli insegnanti pianificano e realizzano un intervento didattico, quali difficoltà incontrano nelle fasi di sviluppo dell’azione programmata, quali esiti conseguono da attività di insegnamento ben progettate e condotte. In primo luogo, è stato osservato il lavoro di organizzazione didattica di un gruppo di …
Development of a Brief Multicultural Version of the Test of Mobile Phone Dependence (TMDbrief) Questionnaire
2016
The Test of Mobile Phone Dependence (TMD) questionnaire (Chóliz, 2012) evaluates the main features of mobile phone dependence: tolerance, abstinence syndrome, impaired impulse control, associated problems, excessive use, etc. Objective: The objective of this study was to develop a multicultural version of the TMD (TMDbrief) adapted to suit the novel communication tools of smartphones. Procedure: In this study, the TMD was completed by 2,028 young respondents in six distinct world regions: Southern Europe, Northwest Europe, South-America, Mesoamerica, Pakistan, and India. Results: Psychometric analysis of the reliability of the instrument and factor analysis were performed to adapt the TMDbr…
Contributions to risk injury evaluation of human skin contact caused by welding technology in mechanical engineering a company
2017
Assembly by welding is a very important pollutant technological process, mainly of the atmosphere and soil. The formation of gas in welding process is the result of electrodes, fluxes burning, formation of fused bath and welded seam. A large number of human operators feels different adverse effects on health. Most problems appears in respiratory system and include bronchitis, respiratory irritation, fever caused by smoke, changes in lung function, decreased immunity to infection and a possible increase of lung cancer risk. Very little information are available about effects on the organism and skin after exposure to fumes from welding, therefore. In this order, this paper do a risk assessme…
