Supporting students' pedagogical working life horizon in higher education
2013
In this article, we introduce a model of a pedagogical working life horizon. It encompasses questions posed by individual students concerning their future and incorporates the idea of a working life orientation to the pedagogical possibilities within education. Working life orientation consists of three elements: individual relationship, knowledge and skills and employability. In the model, we aim to outline how an orientation to working life might be included in higher education, providing a broad perspective on the various pedagogical possibilities. There are two key pedagogical elements supporting the implementation of the pedagogical working life horizons model: reflection and an inquir…
Higher education graduates' employment and the uncertainty of working life.
2012
The aim of this chapter is to examine how the uncertainty and instability of working life is reflected in Finnish polytechnic graduates’ employment. The present study investigates the fields of business and engineering by comparing two graduate cohorts. The societal context in which new graduates enter working life is that of an increasing precariousness in the labour market, which affects higher education graduates as well as the general population. Nowadays, a higher education qualification is not necessarily a guaranteed path to a high income and high social status as it used to be. Insecurity and uncertainty in society and working life can be considered as general features of late moder…
Espressione scritta per lo sviluppo della creatività e della capacità critica in Università
2018
La scoperta della scrittura ha svincolato il pensiero dal contesto e lo ha reso capace di interpretare i messaggi linguistici a partire solamente dalla parola e dalle loro connessioni logiche, ragionamento logico che permette argomentazioni più ampie, categorizzazioni più sistematiche, codificazioni sempre più precise. L’attività di scrittura favorisce l’acquisizione di schemi cognitivi utili alla strutturazione logica del pensiero, promuove abilità di pianificazione e di organizzazione delle proprie idee in modo rigoroso, contribuisce allo sviluppo di capacità espressive formali. I saggi sono stati corretti usando “la Guida per la correzione dei temi” di Calonghi e Boncori (2006). Dalla co…
El enfoque AICLE y los entornos de aprendizaje en línea: El papel de Google My Maps y la producción escrita de los estudiantes en Historia Antigua
2021
Education in the 21 st century has moved towards digital learning to offer high quality programmes that meet the technological and communicative demands of today’s society. Well - known approaches such as Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) and English as a Medium of Instruction (EMI) may benefit from this new reality by addressing linguistic and cognitive challenges in written discourse. This paper examines the written performance of forty first - year undergraduate students coursing a CLIL module in History of the Classical World at a Spanish university . By means of Google My Maps, participants were expected to create a custom map describing five Roman vestiges of their choic…

Schooling Effects and Earnings of French UniversityGraduates : School Quality Matters, but Choice ofDisciplines Matters More
2009
09022 - Actes sur CD-ROM; Our aim in this article is to study the relation between earnings of French universities graduates and some characteristics of their universities. We exploit data from the Céreq's "Génération 98" survey, enriched with information on university characteristics primarily from the ANETES (yearbook of French institutions of higher education). We employ multilevel modeling, enabling us to take advantage of the natural hierarchy in our separate datasets, and thus to identify, and even to measure potential effcts of institutional quality. Since we take into account many individual students characteristics, we are able to obtain an income hierarchy among the diffrent disci…
Developing post-primary education in sub-saharan africa
2010
Countries located at the South of Sahara are currently making significant progresses towards universal completion of primary education. Consequently the number of youngsters who knock at the door of secondary education is much increasing creating strong structural pressures on all segments of post-primary schooling. Identification of a strategy helping to cope with this issue in a sustainable way constitutes a major challenge for educational policies in all countries of the region. The research undertaken aims, in the diversity of national context, at exploring a large array of policy options (in terms of quantity, input mix and quality of services and modalities of financing) that could be…

Graduate employability in transitional economy
2008
08012 - 23 p.; This paper addresses higher education graduates' employability in Russia. We seek to find out what demands are placed on graduates by the modern labour market in Russia, in order to know how higher education should perform to prepare the employable professional. The transition from the communist economy to a labour market one generated important transformations on graduate labour market. A quasi-total abolition of the public regulating mechanisms in study to work transition, changes in social values and considerable mismatches between education and occupations bring about more demands for flexible workers. Under these circumstances, those graduates who acquired during their s…
