Actual and Potential Pedagogical Use of Tablets in Schools
2013
This study reviews the potential of tablet technology for teaching and learning. In autumn 2012, we conducted a focused survey comprising quantitative and qualitative questions with Finnish teachers (N = 171, from 54 schools). We focused on perceived pedagogical opportunities and the actualized pedagogical potential of tablets at schools. The survey results indicate that the actual usefulness of tablets in schools was significantly less than what teachers perceived as the pedagogical potential. However, the results demonstrate the positive impact these devices are having on teaching and learning, as well as prompting changes in pedagogical perspectives. Teachers stated that tablets can dive…
Il problem solving collaborativo: nuove traiettorie per la didattica
2022
Il capitolo, a partire da una disamina delle principali definizioni e dei più articolati framework teorici, intende soffermare la propria attenzione sulla dimensione sociale del CPS, declinata sia in termini collaborativi che comunicativi, per poi avviare una riflessione di natura pedagogico-didattica relativa all’implementazione e alla valutazione del CPS in contesti scolastici. The chapter, starting from an examination of the main definitions and the more articulated theoretical frameworks, intends to focus its attention on the social dimension of the CPS, declined both in collaborative and communicative terms, to then start a reflection of a pedagogical-didactic nature relating to the im…
MALTE INNOVATIVE PER LA COPERTURA DELLE CRESTE MURARIE IN AMBITO ARCHEOLOGICO
2014
The main objective of this study is to evaluate the opportunities offered by nanotechnologies to the production of innovative mortars with enhanced performances for the reconfiguration of walls ridges in the archaeological field. In particular, an already existing additive, based on silica nano-particles in aqueous solution, was tested mixing it in varying percentages to a hydraulic lime mortar and pozzolana. The following tests were carried out on different samples: resistance to bending and compression, adhesion to the surface, water absorption coefficient through capillarity, accelerated ageing test using salt mist. In the final stage, some comparative considerations among the different …
Does Gender Matter? - A Case Study of the Lack of Female Sport Managers in the Football Associations of Finland and Norway
2019
Master's thesis Innovative governance and public management ME523 - University of Agder 2019 The aim of this research is to address why there are fewer female leaders in the football associations of Finland and Norway and what are the underlying factors influencing the phenomenon. The research problem is approached with a multiple case study method, the object of research being the factors influencing women’s careers in the football associations.The empirical material of this qualitative research consists of interviews of three female and two male leaders from the football association of Finland and two female and two male leaders from the football association of Norway. The interview data …
Spaced learning and innovative teaching: school time, pedagogy of attention and learning awareness.
2016
AbstractCurrently, the ‘time’ variable has taken on the function of instructional and pedagogical innovation catalyst, after representing-over the years-a symbol of democratisation, learning opportunity and instruction quality, able to incorporate themes such as school dropout, personalisation and vocation into learning. Spaced Learning is a teaching methodology useful to quickly seize information in long-term memory based on a particular arrangement of the lesson time that comprises three input sessions and two intervals. Herein we refer to a teachers’ training initiative on Spaced Learning within the programme ‘DocentiInFormAzione’ in the EDOC@WORK3.0 Project in Apulia region in 2015. The…
Innovation dynamics in space. Local actors and local factors
1997
This paper addresses the issue of technogenesis and its geographical pattern. It aims to offer both a general analysis framework and a test on innovation data from several European cities. This framework is mainly built on the product life-cycle and the incubation approach. On the basis of this framework, it is argued that the phases of an industrial life-cycle have several firm-specific effects. First, these phases influence innovativeness and thus profit levels, output and employment of firms in a spatially distinct way. Second, the phases of the life-cycle mirror the importance of local factors for innovations, and third, they affect strategic decisions of firms, inter alia by influencin…

The Potential Use of Resveratrol for Cancer Prevention.
2019
In addition to the traditional treatments of cancer and cancer prevention, the use of natural compounds, especially those found in food, should be considered. To clarify if resveratrol has the potential for cancer prevention and the possibility of use in therapy, the following must be taken into account: data from epidemiology, clinical protocol (case and control), preclinical studies (lab animals), use of established cell lines as models of cancer cells, test tube assays (enzymes activities), and requirements of nanotechnologies in order to discover new drugs to fight cancer. From this perspective and future expected advances, more information is needed such as improved efficacy, methods o…
External knowledge sourcing for R&D activities: antecedents and implications of governance mode choice
2014
This paper investigates how internal and external factors affect the choice between alliances and joint ventures (A&JVs) and mergers and acquisitions (M&As) for the external sourcing of research and development (R&D) activities, and whether or not such a choice is really con- tingent, that is, is it the best choice in terms of its impact on firms’ innovative performance under those circumstances? We build a set of hypotheses based on both the transaction-cost theory and the resource-based view, and test them through a secondary data source analy- sis. We found that companies adopt either R&D M&A or A&JV depending on internal (e.g. resources and capabilities, innovation experience) and exter…
