Valutazione formativa e didattica a distanza all’Università
2021
La valutazione per l’apprendimento (assessment for learning) e la valutazione come apprendimento (assessment as learning) sono concetti che recentemente hanno assunto un ruolo centrale nella letteratura sull’argomento. Il contributo illustra, dopo una esplicitazione delle caratteristiche dei due approcci, un’esperienza di valutazione per l’apprendimento e come apprendimento in Università. La ricerca si propone di descrivere come 125 studenti del corso di Laurea Magistrale di Scienze della Formazione Primaria dell’Università di Palermo partecipino abitualmente al processo di valutazione e percepiscano l’utilità della valutazione formativa e i benefici del ricevere feedback. I dati raccolti …
CoproID predicts the source of coprolites and paleofeces using microbiome composition and host DNA content
2020
Shotgun metagenomics applied to archaeological feces (paleofeces) can bring new insights into the composition and functions of human and animal gut microbiota from the past. However, paleofeces often undergo physical distortions in archaeological sediments, making their source species difficult to identify on the basis of fecal morphology or microscopic features alone. Here we present a reproducible and scalable pipeline using both host and microbial DNA to infer the host source of fecal material. We apply this pipeline to newly sequenced archaeological specimens and show that we are able to distinguish morphologically similar human and canine paleofeces, as well as non-fecal sediments, fro…
The role of expert evaluation for microsleep detection
2015
Abstract Recently, it has been shown by overnight driving simulation studies that microsleep density is the only known sleepiness indicator which rapidly increases within a few seconds immediately before sleepiness related crashes. This indicator is based solely on EEG and EOG and subsequent adaptive pattern recognition. Accurate microsleep recognition is very important for the performance of this sleepiness indicator. The question is whether expensive evaluations of microsleep events by a) experts are necessary or b) non-experts provide sufficient evaluations. Based on 11,114 microsleep events in case a) and 12,787 in case b) recognition accuracies were investigated utilizing (i) artificia…
Using recorded audio feedback in multi-cultural higher e-education : How do academics experience? A thematic network analysis
2020
The aim of our study is to shed light on how academics experience using recorded audio feedback (RAF) as a feedback method in multi-cultural higher e-Education context. We adopted a qualitative content analysis approach, applying thematic network analysis to the data received from three academics (a case study). This approach proposes graphical networks as an aid for analyzing and synthesizing qualitative data into basic, organizing and global themes. The thematic network analysis produced two global, six organizing and 48 basic themes. The two global themes were named “Speaking style” and “Culture neutrality/sensitivity”. Based on our analysis, academics can, by using RAF in multi-cultural…
Perceived support in e-collaborative learning: An exploratory study which make use of synchronous and asynchronous online-teaching approaches
2012
Published version of a chapter in the book: Advances in Web-Based Learning - ICWL 2012. Also available from the publisher at: http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-3-642-33642-3_2 This study compares four different learning environments for e-collaborative learning in two European countries related to the dimension of student’s mutual support. The theoretical baseline is Vygotsky’s zone of proximal development (ZOPD) and the socio-genetic approach of Piaget. The analyzed data are based on questionnaires collected over the time period of an entire semester including four different courses at the master’s level. These courses applied different e-collaborative approaches including a variety of tools f…
University Exchange Students’ Practices of Learning Finnish: A Language Ecological Approach to Affordances in Linguistic Landscapes
2020
In linguistic landscape (LL) studies, various projects have demonstrated how language learners benefit from tasks that involve the documentation and interpretation of the LL. In this chapter, we investigate how Finnish as a second language learner exchange students turned the local LL into affordances during their time abroad in Finland. While language awareness and its relation to learning and teaching have been extensively discussed, it has often been regarded as a property of an individual consciousness: a faculty or a tendency of a particular person to perceive, notice and reflect upon the linguistic features present in their environments. In contrast, we argue for an approach that cont…
Retos y oportunidades de la tecnología móvil en la educación física (Challenges and opportunities of mobile technology in physical education).
2019
La educación física (EF) y su profesorado están llamados a seguir procesos de inmersión digital, voluntarios o involuntarios, asociados al consumo masivo de medios y servicios digitales y a las demandas de la sociedad y de la institución educativa. El uso de tecnología, especialmente la móvil, social y ubicua, se generaliza personal y profesionalmente, aunque la escuela sigue sin encontrarle acomodo. Reconoce su potencial didáctico, pero no logra alcanzarlo. En la EF el uso de tecnologías tradicionales y fijas han demostrado su utilidad en la fase preactiva y postactiva del acto didáctico, sin embargo, los aprendizajes en movilidad propios de la fase activa, aconsejan explorar alternativas …
Una proposta per prevenir l'assetjament escolar en les classes d'Educació Física basada en el model pedagògic cooperatiu: Una propuesta para prevenir…
2021
L'objectiu del present treball és crear una unitat didàctica (UD) basada en el model pedagògic cooperatiu (MPC) en l'assignatura d'educació física (EF), per ajudar a prevenir l'assetjament escolar (AE). Aquesta UD s'ha realitzat amb un grup de 1r d'ESO. Per comprovar si aquesta UD pot ser útil per prevenir l'AE, s'ha dut a terme un estudi de cas en la que s'han extret dades mitjançant l’observació dels participants. Aquestes dades s'han classificat en categories prèviament establertes mitjançant la consulta de la literatura existent i s'han analitzat. Els resultats mostren indicis per a afirmar que el MPC provoca que augmente la confiança, la integració grupal i el respecte entre l'alumnat;…
Are you ready to encounter foreign patients with infectious diseases? : developing nursing students’ language skills through educational co-creation
2019
An educational co-creation project can provide valuable information about the current needs in working life and engage students in a meaningful way thus promoting their learning outcomes significantly. The nursing students at Laurea University of Applied Sciences were involved in an educational co-creation project whose aim was to increase their knowledge of infectious diseases and to develop the contents of their language course “English for Health Care”. The project was carried out through innovative methods: a learning café and online educational material for professionals in the field. This collaboration involved the infectious diseases ward of Aurora Hospital, nursing students and lect…
Two Solutions to an Unsolvable Problem: Connecting Origami and GeoGebra in a Serbian High School
2014
Our “Visuality & Mathematics — Experiential Education of Mathematics Through the Use of Visual Art, Science, and Playful Activities” Tempus Project started in 2012 with the cooperation of eight European universities and scientific institutions, in order to develop Serbian mathematics education with technological equipment and interactive, experience-centered, and art-related content. The general objectives of this two-year-long project are justified by the findings of the PISA 2012 survey as well, which show that 15-year old Serbian students' mathematics performance is significantly below the OECD average. For the improvement of the Serbian students' mathematical literacy and abilities, wha…
