Effects of reading real versus print-out versions of multiple documents on students? sourcing and integrated understanding
2018
Abstract This study investigated the extent to which students’ sourcing and comprehension can be supported by the reading of real, as opposed to print-out versions of multiple documents. It was found that the reading of real rather than print-out versions of multiple documents on the issue of climate change increased students’ memory for source information and made them include more specific references to document sources in argument essays that they wrote about the issue. In turn, such increased sourcing in essays mediated the positive effect of reading real versus print-out versions of documents on students’ construction of coherent representations of the documents’ content information.

Advances of Research in Education and ICT in Hospital Classrooms
2017
Últimamente ha proliferado la utilización de aplicaciones didácticas digitales en torno a la educación del alumnado convaleciente. No obstante, son escasos los trabajos que han estudiado de forma global las tecnologías de la información y la comunicación (TIC) y sus materiales en las aulas hospitalarias (AH). Desde ese punto de vista, hemos realizado un análisis de los avances alcanzados en las investigaciones desarrolladas sobre experiencias educativas, evaluando el impacto de las TIC y comprobando que el alumnado hospitalizado puede conectarse con la comunidad educativa y su entorno. La metodología llevada a cabo ha sido la revisión bibliográfica que nos ha permitido organizar, clasificar…
Scientific communication or a qualification for an academic career? What use is publishing papers in psychology journals?
2018
[ES]: Este trabajo analiza todas las revistas de psicología que se hallan incluidas en las diversas categorías de las bases de datos JCR (SCI y SSCI) y SJR durante el periodo 2014-2016 para tratar de identificar las revistas que se encuentran mejor posicionadas en esta disciplina, sus especialidades y los países con mayor número de publicaciones indexados en dichas bases de datos. [Método]: Se analizó la distribución de revistas por países, cuartil y categoría para determinar la posición de las revistas en cada país e identificar los que tuviesen mayor cantidad de revistas de excelencia en psicología en la escena internacional. [Resultados]: Estados Unidos y Reino Unido tienen el mayor núme…
Experimental macroeconomics: a role-playing experience among bachelor students
2020
This current innovative education project has the main goal of introducing students to experimental economics to help them better understand complex macroeconomic concepts. For this purpose, it is used an online experimental platform to develop a role-playing dynamic with which students become real economic agents. This gamified technique allows students to interact with each other in the goods and production factors markets and, thus, generate a circular flow studied as one of the main macroeconomic principles. The online platform is conceived as a two-sided website: on one hand, students are assigned a role and asked to make decisions; and, on the other, professors can instantaneously acc…
The VST Photometric Hα Survey of the Southern Galactic Plane and Bulge (VPHAS+)
2014
The VST Photometric Halpha Survey of the Southern Galactic Plane and Bulge (VPHAS+) is surveying the southern Milky Way in u, g, r, i and Halpha at 1 arcsec angular resolution. Its footprint spans the Galactic latitude range -5 < b < +5 at all longitudes south of the celestial equator. Extensions around the Galactic Centre to Galactic latitudes +/-10 bring in much of the Galactic Bulge. This ESO public survey, begun on 28th December 2011, reaches down to 20th magnitude (10-sigma) and will provide single-epoch digital optical photometry for around 300 million stars. The observing strategy and data pipelining is described, and an appraisal of the segmented narrowband Halpha filter in us…
Digital Competence in Schools: A Bibliometric Study
2020
This document presents the results of an analysis of scientific production on digital competence in the educational field from a scientometric perspective, by analysing 150 documents available in Scopus. It also includes a complementary content analysis. The findings show the rise of the subject area in the European sphere. Regarding content, the terminological diversity used and the educational levels studied stand out. The conclusion is that teachers need more training in the didactic use of technologies to improve the development of digital competence in the educational system.
„Janie do Cię wracamy w czarnoleskie lipy”. Polskie tradycje źródłowe w odmianach literacko-kulturowej współczesności (wybory — powtórzenia — różnice)
2020
The subject of the article — developed through the literary and cultural contexts of contem-porary literature — concentrates mainly on different forms of the presence of tradition (targeting the Romantic one as key and the Old Polish as the subsequent one). A look at the styles and tones of the literature-“thriving” languages of these traditions allows us to see these traditions in a different critical light (national symbols/Polish signs/patters/transformations).
Maintaining dignity in vulnerability: A qualitative study of the residents' perspective on dignity in nursing homes
2016
Postprint tilgjengelig 20.03.17. Background Older people, living in nursing homes, are exposed to diverse situations, which may be associated with loss of dignity. To help them maintain their dignity, it is important to explore, how dignity is preserved in such context. Views of dignity and factors influencing dignity have been studied from both the residents’ and the care providers’ perspective. However, most of these studies pertain to experiences in the dying or the illness context. Knowledge is scarce about how older people experience their dignity within their everyday lives in nursing homes. Aim To illuminate the meaning of maintaining dignity from the perspective of older people livi…
The Role of General and Selective Task Instructions on Students’ Processing of Multiple Conflicting Documents
2019
This study was designed to test the role of general and selective task instructions when processing documents, which vary as regards trustworthiness and position toward a conflicting topic. With selective task instructions, we refer to concrete guidelines as how to read the texts and how to select appropriate documents and contents, in contrast to general task instructions. Sixty-one secondary school students were presented with four different conflicting documents in an electronic learning environment and were told to write an essay based on the information from the texts. Only half of the students were told to only use information from two out of the four texts to write their essay (i.e.,…
Standardised functional assessment in long-term care for older people: perspective of Finnish care workers
2021
Objective measures and documentation are increasingly used in the care for older people to promote efficiency and productivity. A standardised assessment of functional capacity is one such measure. In this study, we examined the meanings given to standardised functional assessment by care workers who provide long-term care for older people. Gathered from eight Finnish long-term care facilities, the data consisted of one-on-one interviews with practical and registered nurses (n = 24). In the data analysis, we employed the discursive approach. We identified three discourses in the care workers’ talks that differed in the meaning given to standardised functional assessment in the process of ca…
