Research protocol: Technology-supported guidance to increase flexibility, quality and efficiency in the clinical practicum of nursing education
2020
Abstract This paper presents the protocol for a randomized controlled trial aimed at studying the effects of a technology-supported guidance model delivered by smartphone and intended to strengthen the follow-up of nursing students during their clinical practicum. The research outcomes will reflect students’ critical thinking, learning outcomes, and satisfaction. The results will be compared before and after the intervention and between control and intervention groups. In the control group, the clinical practicum period will be performed as usual. In the intervention group, students will monitor their day by filling in daily electronic reports. Based on students’ reports and the day’s exper…
Las representaciones sociales del alumnado sobre la crisis. ¿Qué soluciones ofrece el alumnado ante los problemas económicos?
2021
Este artículo presenta los resultados de una investigación sobre las representaciones sociales de adolescentes de 16 a 18 años de la actual crisis económica. Estos adolescentes pertenecen a dos grupos de bachillerato de un mismo centro educativo y provienen de contextos socioeconómicos similares, sin embargo uno de los dos cursa las asignaturas de Historia Contemporánea y Economía (Grupo A) y el otro no (Grupo B). Se recopila la información a partir de un cuestionario escrito sobre noticias actuales y de un grupo de discusión sobre el tema. Los resultados muestran la influencia de los medios de comunicación en las respuestas de ambos grupos y una mayor viabilidad de las soluciones propuesta…
La riflessività e il ‘cervello narrante': un percorso di ricerca con gli studenti universitari
2017
Le ricerche sulla cognizione, sulla competenza metacognitiva e sul funzionamento del cervello non smettono di destare vivo interesse presso la comunità scientifica delle discipline educative specie in rela-zione alla necessità di integrare, in qualsiasi percorso didattico e/o for-mativo, l’irrinunciabile componente della riflessività su se stessi e sul proprio modus di relazione con la conoscenza. Gli approcci di tipo brain-based – con riguardo alla tecnica del Brain-gym – e l’attività di narrazione – declinata secondo la tipologia del Digital Storytelling – costituiscono gli assi portati della ricerca qui descritta, condotta con 205 studenti del secondo anno del corso di laurea in Scienze …
Accounting Education for Accounting Educators Evidence from Italy – The Case of SISSIS/TFA (2002-2013)*
2013
Abstract This paper aims to highlight the education-training during the early twenty-first century, for future teachers of Economia aziendale (“Economic concern”), in Palermo (Sicily, Italy), in a special training school. In Italy, the business disciplines, unitarily, are studied generally under the name of Economia aziendale, within which, however, the part of Accounting (Ragioneria in Italian) has always played a dominant role. Compared to the usual studies in Accounting Education, this research presents some peculiarities worthy of note. The perspective used is the critical thinking in education.
Estudio cuasiexperimental para el análisis del pensamiento crítico en secundaria
2018
Ante la preocupación por los bajos niveles de comprensión lectora del alumnado adolescente y la creciente influencia de modelos externos en sus procesos de construcción identitaria, el presente estudio propone una construcción más activa, reflexiva y autónoma para formar lectores críticos desde la educación literaria. Tras una aproximación a la noción de lectura crítica, la investigación se decanta por un comentario textual orientado al estímulo de dos manifestaciones básicas del pensamiento crítico, como actividad nuclear de una secuencia diseñada y puesta en práctica con un grupo de estudiantes de cuarto curso de Educación Secundaria Obligatoria. Utilizando un diseño cuasiexperimental se …
Disposição ao pensamento crítico, nível acadêmico, gênero e resolução de problemas no ensino médio
2021
Resumen El propósito de este estudio fue investigar la posible influencia de la disposición hacia el pensamiento crítico, el nivel académico y el género (variables independientes) sobre el desempeño en resolución de problemas de estudiantes de secundaria (variable dependiente). Han participado 114 estudiantes de educación secundaria españoles, 55 chicos y 59 chicas, de 3º y 4º de ESO y de 1º de Bachillerato (9º, 10º y 11º grado, respectivamente). A todos ellos se les ha administrado un cuestionario sobre disposición hacia el pensamiento crítico y una prueba de resolución de problemas (un problema de las pruebas PISA). De la matriz de correlaciones producto-momento de Pearson entre variables…
The Conceptual Levels and Theory Languages of Interaction Design
2009
In a way, concepts are like friends. Tell me what your concepts are and I can tell what you are. Modifying freely the way Wittgenstein (1921) expressed this important Kantian (1781) point on the limiting power of concepts on one’s thinking, the concepts that human– technology interaction designers of different scientific backgrounds use differ from each other and, consequently, they are apt to solve the same tasks in different ways. Theoretical concepts constrain the kinds of questions specialists can ask and what kinds of things they are interested in. Thus programmers have a different view of users than do psychologists or sociologists. Just as a lay person can understand little about ven…
Economic Theorizing, Discursive Analysis and Pluralism in the Classroom - Evidence from Postgraduate Teaching in a French University
2014
Can students examine the discursive strategies employed by economists so that the former think critically about the underlying theoretical forces described by the latter? Are economic processes ontologically dependent on the narratives used by economists to account for real phenomena? In this article, we draw both on Wheat's mapping techniques to homogenise theoretical economic discourse and on Pilkington's attempt to combine economics with language for specific purposes. We show that informed and fruitful discussions in the classroom necessitate the use of a new median pluralistic discourse that is yet to be elaborated upon, both by university and secondary school teachers. Finally, in ord…
Deconstructing Stereotypes Through Reading Children’s Literature as Intergenerational Play: The Case of the Stepmother
2021
One of the key roles within stepfamilies, the role of stepmother has been and still is stigmatized with an aura of wickedness, produced by folk and fairy tales as well as by the media. As a review of theoretical frameworks of children’s literature indicates, there is a shortage of methodological proposals for handling such controversial topics in literary education. Thus, the objective of this chapter is to present and test a methodology for analyzing the capacity of children’s literature to shape social understanding of such intergenerational topics. This study was based on the exploration of the picture book by Gonzalez and Alberdi entitled La novia de papa tambien me quiere (My Dad’s Gir…
Feeding, cooking, sharing : a brief social history of food
2020
This work addresses the food system as a complex structure connected to the environment, like a living organism. It uses the contributions from multiple fields (including anthropology, nutritional, medicine, and economics) to establish connections between analytically disparate fields in order to highlight their transformations over time and space. It also studies social organisation over millions of years to understand the synergy between the environment, extraction technologies, economic and political structures, and the resulting cooking environments (each with their own social construction of tastes) as conditioning factors for sickness and death. In short, it delves into the anthropolo…
