TEACHER IN CITIZENSHIP EDUCATION LEARNING PROCESS
2018
The recent reforms in the Latvian general education curriculum along with a school network reorganization have brought new attention to the issues related to a teacher education and the level of professionalism in everyday teaching work. Soviet-era education and work experience in diverse political and education systems (under the Soviet rule and after the restoration of independence) are factors that should be taken into account when analyzing the teacher in the citizenship education learning process. For the needs of this Paper, the authors used the data of the IEA ICCS 2016 (International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement International Civic and Citizenship Study…
LGTBIQfobia audiovisual: La ocultación de colectivos sexualmente diversos en Disney
2021
La LGTBIQfobia supone una barrera para la normalización de colectivos sexualmente diversos. Productos como los audiovisuales Disney dificultan esta tarea ya que la compañía tiende a ocultarlas. De esta manera se frena el desarrollo de una ciudadanía más tolerante y respetuosa con la diferencia desde las primeras edades. En la educación hay una preocupación latente por erradicar el bullying LGTBIQfóbico. Por ello, a través de un posicionamiento queer y de una metodología mixta se analiza la colección “Los clásicos” Disney para manifestar los ataques hacia dicho colectivo y concienciar a quienes la utilizan como recurso en sus aulas con los grupos de menores. También para visibilizar los ejem…
Surveillance and student dissent: the case of the Franco dictatorship.
2014
The rising of a powerful democratic student movement in Spain in the sixties represented a substantial stimulus to the repressive modernization of the Franco dictatorship. New containment strategies were adopted in the context of the counter-subversion and intelligence policies that the USA administration and their allies were also implementing. From this assumption, this paper analyzes the specific dynamics of surveillance on student protest, exploring the previous situation at university, the challenges introduced by the youth upheaval, the diverse responses of the establishment, the role of the American aid, and finally the consequences both for the dissidents and for the dictatorship it…
From ‘Awkward Partner’ to ‘Awkward Partnership’? Explaining Norway’s Paradoxical Relations with the European Union
2017
Norway is the only Nordic state to have rejected membership of the European Union four times. Applying the conceptual lens of ‘awkwardness’, as developed by Murray et al. (2014), it seems fair to consider the country as an awkward partner in the process of European integration. As a member of the European Economic Area (EEA), however, Norway has been tightly associated with the European Union ever since 1994, actively participating in a large number of EU policies and programs and effectively forging a close partnership that has in itself become increasingly ‘awkward’. This holds true despite the fact that successive Norwegian governments have recently started to embrace a generally more re…
Developing support teachers’ digital competencies for an inclusive citizenship
2021
The present work focuses on the construct of digital citizenship from an educational and inclusive point of view. Considering the general European interest in implementing citizens’ digital skills and with particular care for the contemporary situ-ation of overall emergency, due to the Covid 19 pandemic case, the idea is that of con-sidering a possible conceptual link between digital skills and the Capability Approach. In the light of an ‘Education for all’, the aware development of teachers and, particu-larly support teachers’ digital skills, may be a crucial key to enact inclusive processes able to guarantee any pupil and student the chance to become a capable and valu-able citizen, despi…
Hacia una pedagogía de la diversidad o la exigencia de repensar el carácter inclusivo de la escuela
2008
Desde la perspectiva de entender la educación de la ciudadanía como un instrumento al servicio de la convivencia democrática, este artículo se aproxima al análisis de uno de los desafíos educativos fundamentales de las sociedades del tercer milenio: la búsqueda de un adecuado equilibrio entre la sólida formación de las identidades y la gestión democrática de la diversidad. La realidad pluricultural y compleja de las sociedades actuales exige de los profesionales de la educación una reflexión fundamentada sobre los principios básicos de la llamada "pedagogía de la diversidad" y repensar aquellos parámetros de cambio que conviertan la escuela en un escenario de inclusión. El aprendizaje de lo…
Co-Development of Personality and Friendships Across the Lifespan
2016
Abstract. This article examines changes in the co-development of personality characteristics and friendships across the lifespan. We address how personality traits shape friendship development (i.e., selection effects) and how friendships shape personality traits (i.e., socialization effects). By integrating separate empirical studies, we look at how selection and socialization effects change across the lifespan. A review of longitudinal research supports our hypothesis that selection effects on friendships intensify during adolescence, peak in young adulthood, and diminish throughout middle and late adulthood. Socialization effects through friendships seem to be moderately sized during ado…
Hopes and fears of teacher candidates concerning the teaching profession
2017
Romanian university students have the opportunity to enroll in the education program for the teaching profession starting with their first year at the university. Most undergraduates choose the education program for the teaching profession, although some of them do not see themselves as teachers. The schooling experiences, the motivation for entering the teacher education programs, the initial teacher education experiences and their future plans can be important factors in considering the perspective of becoming a teacher or not. Focused on a future orientation, the goal of this study was to investigate teacher education candidates’ hopes and fears concerning a possible career as teacher. U…
Biopiracy in India: Seed diversity and the scramble for knowledge.
2018
Abstract Background: Biopiracy has usually been discussed mostly in the context of the life sciences, sometimes in dialogue with legal debates or political implications. This paper provides a humanities perspective on contemporary discussions of biopiracy and biopatenting. Hypothesis It proceeds from the hypothesis that contemporary debates and practices of biopiracy can be understood as harking back to colonial legacies, which systematically disregard “native” knowledge or seek to appropriate it for their own purposes. Results Drawing on the work of Vandana Shiva, the present article seeks to redefine the notion of ownership of knowledge from a cultural studies perspective. Exploring the 2…
Spurious source generation in mapping from noisy phase-self-calibrated data
2008
Phase self-calibration (or selfcal) is an algorithm often used in the calibration of interferometric observations in astronomy. Although a powerful tool, this algorithm presents strong limitations when applied to data with a low signal-to-noise ratio. We analyze the artifacts that the phase selfcal algorithm produces when applied to extremely noisy data. We show how the phase selfcal may generate a spurious source in the sky from a distribution of completely random visibilities. This spurious source is indistinguishable from a real one. We numerically and analytically compute the relationship between the maximum spurious flux density generated by selfcal from noise and the particulars of th…
