Item Response Trees: a recommended method for analyzing categorical data in behavioral studies

2015

Behavioral data are notable for presenting challenges to their statistical analysis, often due to the difficulties in measuring behavior on a quantitative scale. Instead, a range of qualitative alternative responses is recorded. These can often be understood as the outcome of a sequence of binary decisions. For example, faced by a predator, an individual may decide to flee or stay. If it stays, it may decide to freeze or display a threat and if it displays a threat, it may choose from several alternative forms of display. Here we argue that instead of being analyzed using traditional nonparametric statistics or a series of separate analyses split by response categories, this kind of data ca…

A strategic learner for a new society

2012

Nuevos tiempos precisan de nuevos aprendices. En una escuela inmersa en la sociedad de la información, que queremos que sea del conocimiento, hace falta desarrollar nuevas actitudes y habilidades para el aprendizaje. El estudiante ha de aprender a desarrollar su autonomía y responsabilidad en un mundo abierto en que hay sobreabundancia de información y estímulos. Para ello hace falta que el estudiante llegue a ser “aprendiz estratégico”, una persona autónoma que quiere aprender para crecer, para sí y para los demás, teniendo como referente los valores, alguien que aprende a movilizar, observar, evaluar, planificar y controlar sus propios procesos de aprendizaje. Estamos hablando de aprendiz…

Localizing Global Solidarity: Humanitarian Aid in Lesvos

2021

The so-called “refugee crisis” in Lesvos, Greece provides a poignant example of situated, local suffering that has called for the coordination of global resources to provide relief. Some of the first to respond were local and international Citizen Initiatives for Global Solidarity (CIGS). While a growing role for CIGS has been interpreted as a call for more global involvement, arguments for the increased localization of relief efforts suggest the need for aid agents to maintain a reflexive awareness of the potential for an influx of outside assistance to disempower those most affected. We argue that barriers to implementing the localization of humanitarian aid can be better understood by po…

Incorporating teacher-student dialogue into digital course material : Usage patterns and first experiences

2020

This work-in-progress research investigates teacher-student communication via Learning Management Systems (LMS) in highly populated courses. An LMS called TIM (The Interactive Material) includes a specific commenting technology that attempts to make teacher-student dialog effortless. The research goal is to explore students’ willingness to use the technology and identify patterns of usage. To these ends, a survey with both Likert and open-ended questions was issued to CS1 and CS2 students. A favorable student evaluation was observed while several critical viewpoints that inform technology development were revealed. We noticed that besides appreciating the possibility of making comments, man…

Musical experiences in learning English as a foreign language

2009

Musiikki on osa ennen kaikkea arkipäivän elämää, mutta käytössä toisinaan myös kielten oppitunneilla. Kielen oppimisen tutkimuksessa musiikkiin ei kuitenkaan toistaiseksi ole kiinnitetty paljonkaan huomiota. Tämän tutkielman tarkoituksena on selvittää millaisia kokemuksia ja ajatuksia englannin oppijoilla on kielen oppimisesta musiikin kautta ja siten tarjota näkökulmia musiikin roolista vieraan kielen oppimisessa. Materiaali koostuu neljän suomalaisen nuoren aikuisen haastatteluista. Tutkielmassa vastataan kysymyksiin: 1) Miten musiikki on ollut läsnä haastateltavien englannin oppimisen historiassa? 2) Millaisia kokemuksia oppijoilla on vieraan kielen, erityisesti englannin, oppimisesta mu…

“I started reading even though I didn’t understand much”: The significance of reading and writing fanfiction in extra-curricular language learning

2018

Kouluajan ulkopuolella tapahtuu oppimista jatkuvasti, erityisesti englannin kielen suhteen. Lingua francana toimivalta englannin kieleltä on lähes mahdoton välttyä, koska se on osa monen jokapäiväistä elämää esimerkiksi eri medioiden kautta. Suurin osa tästä oppimisesta tapahtuu alitajuisesti, eikä henkilö tee tietoista valintaa oppia altistuessaan kielelle tavalla tai toisella. Lukemisen merkitys kielen oppimisessa on laajasti tutkittu aihe (ks. esim. Krashen, 1989; Krashen and Bland, 2014). Yleinen näkemys on, että kohdekielellä lukeminen tukee kielen oppimista. Lukeminen ei kuitenkaan tyypillisesti korostu opetussuunnitelmissa muita oppimismenetelmiä enemmän. Vieraan kielen oppimisessa m…

Videogames and L2 learning opportunities : does the amount of digital gaming show in increased English proficiency among Finnish upper comprehensive …

2015

Digitaalisten pelien pelaaminen on edelleen varsinkin nuorten suomalaisten keskuudessa yleinen harrastus. Mediana pelit tarjoavat monille kosketuksen englannin kieleen vapaa-ajallakin, ja tällaisesta informaalista koulun ulkopuolisesta englannin kielestä on tutkimusten mukaan suurta hyötyä kieltenopiskelijalle. Tässä tutkielmassa tarkasteltiin keskisuomalaisten yhdeksäsluokkalaisten (N=34) videopelien pelaamisen yhteyttä englannin kielitaitoon, jota arvioitiin oppilaiden kolmen viimeisimmän englannin kurssiarvosanan keskiarvolla, sekä pienellä synonyymien yhdistelytestillä. Oppilaiden videopeliharrastusta sekä muita koulun ulkopuolisia englanninkielisiä harrastuksia kartoitettiin kyselyllä.…

Evaluación de la reacción de alumnos y docentes en un modelo mixto de aprendizaje para Educación Superior

2014

Si bien en la educación presencial uno de los factores clave del éxito es el desempeño del docente dentro del salón de clase, es evidente que dentro de la educación en línea el papel del docente será distinto a su papel tradicional. Por ello, deben revalorarse los factores que garantizarán la calidad en este nuevo tipo de oferta educativa. En este estudio se muestran los resultados obtenidos de un análisis de caso de educación mixta (blended learning) para educación superior, y se enlistan los factores de éxito resultantes, así como algunas barreras para la adecuada implantación.
