WHY DID THEY NEED TO COME NOW? COVID-19 CRISIS STRAINS RELATIONSHIPS WITH RETURNING AND VISITING COMPATRIOTS
2021
One of the first areas severely hit by the Covid-19 pandemic was international travel. In March/April, with commercial flights coming to a near halt, the governments were struggling to help their stranded citizens to return home. Extra flights and ferry trips were organised, and the opportunity to return was used by many emigrants worried about the uncertainty and the possible future development of the pandemic. This paper containing both data collected through survey and in-depth interviews with people aged 50+ in Latvia, is the first to explore the reactions of the society to repatriation policy implemented by the government of Latvia, and to explore how the Covid-19 situation has affecte…
Drivers of Competitiveness in European High-Tech Industries
2019
Our paper builds on the importance of high-tech manufacturing and knowledge-intensive services as significant competitiveness and economic growth drivers in the European Union and offers a fresh approach of the study on the competitiveness of secondary and tertiary high-tech industries across EU member states. Our analysis covers the 2008–2015 period and includes twelve old and new EU members. We opt for a balanced panel data approach in OLS and ARIMA frameworks to investigate the competitiveness of high-technology industries in the EU with the aim of uncovering the nature of the main explanatory factors behind their performance. Our results show that the number of persons employed and the …
Positive and Negative Media Effects on University Students’ Learning: Preliminary Findings and a Research Program
2019
Research in communication science highlights positive as well as negative effects of news and social media on learning but focuses predominantly on the largely unintended knowledge acquisition of the overall population. Research in educational science deals with students’ knowledge acquisition but is largely limited to formal learning such as in university courses. In this paper, we report findings of a pilot study combining both approaches by dealing with mass and social media effects on university students’ learning. While this study reveals several effects, their influences and causality remain largely unclear. Therefore, we propose a research program to explain positive and negative med…
Educational Migration Trends Review in Poland (with Particular Emphasis on the Immigration of Ukrainian Youth)
2023
This article aims to review and synthesise research on educational migration in Poland, particularly youth immigration from Ukraine. The paper collects statistical data from 2004, which allowed for the analysis of the existing trends in educational migration in Poland. The research on the largest group of foreign students – citizens of Ukraine – was reviewed, which resulted in identifying research gaps regarding student mobility in Poland, both in terms of demand and supply of educational migrations. The practical implication appears to show that the governments of the host countries, the business sector, and the academic units – due to the increase in the number of foreign students – can e…
La enseñanza de la escritura académica: Una intervención a través del currículum
2014
En el presente artículo, se presenta una propuesta de intervención donde se ponen de manifiesto las acciones llevadas a cabo en el Grado de Logopedia de la UCLM para formar tanto a profesorado como a estudiantes en el desarrollo de la competencia en comunicación escrita. En primer lugar, se ofreció al profesorado formación teórica y metodológica que aportase herramientas para trabajar con los estudiantes las competencias de escritura en los ámbitos académicos. En este sentido, lo más importante fue la metodología de intervención propuesta al profesorado para abordar la enseñanza de la escritura académica y el inicio de un trabajo docente colaborativo con posibilidades de extenderse a lo lar…
Algorithms and Logic as Programming Primers
2019
To adapt all-immersive digitalization, the Finnish National Curriculum 2014 (FNC-2014) ‘digi-jumps’ by integrating programming into elementary education. However, applying the change to mathematics teachers’ everyday praxis is hindered by a too high-level specification. To elaborate FNC-2014 into more concrete learning targets, we review the computer science syllabi of countries that are well ahead, as well as the education recommendations set by computer science organizations, such as ACM and IEEE. The whole mathematics syllabus should be critically viewed in the light of these recommendations and feedback collected from software professionals and educators. The feedback reveals an imbalan…
Foundations for Esports Curricula in Higher Education
2021
Esports has generated an industry of increasing economic and cultural importance. In recent years, universities and other higher education institutions have responded to its growth by establishing programmes of study which aim to satisfy the needs of innovators operating in the area. However, there is not yet consensus on what an esports curriculum should include. Despite being a technology-driven sector with ethical and professional dimensions that intersect computing, current ACM and IEEE curricula do not mention esports. Furthermore, existing courses tend to provide teaching and training on a wide variety of topics aside from those traditionally in computer science. These include: live e…
Educación artística : revista de investigación
2016
Resumen: El siguiente articulo pretende identificar posibles espacios comunes entre arte y educacion partiendo de la propuesta artistica Mapa dels Desitjos [1] del colectivo Crater [2] . Esta propuesta se llevo a cabo en el contexto de la XVII Mostra d’Art Public / Universitat Publica de la Universitat de Valencia. Mapa dels Desitjos surgio de la idea de preguntar a la comunidad universitaria como organizarian su vida si no tuviesen en cuenta la cuestion economica y de hacer publicas sus respuestas. A partir de esta experiencia, analizamos y reflexionamos en torno a cuatro preguntas que estructuran el analisis: ?Que paralelismos existen entre los roles de artista/publico y maestro/estudiant…
Between a rock and a hard place : middle managers' ethical decision making and behaviour in the organisational context
2018
This study increases knowledge and understanding of middle managers’ ethical decision-making and behaviour within the context of Finnish higher education. The aim of the research is to develop a new framework for ethical decision-making and behaviour by combining prior theories and empirical knowledge. This dissertation consists of an introductory essay and three articles. The main argument of this research is that through organisations’ socialisation processes, middle managers adopt socially defined managerial roles, which affect their ethical decision-making and ethical conduct. We can say that especially the ethical organisational culture is significant for middle managers’ understanding…
