Student teachers' indirect complaining in learning groups
2011
This article focuses on indirect complaining in teacher education. The phenomenon of complaining in educational situations has not been examined as a process before. In this study complaining was examined in naturally occurring learning group sessions, which were videotaped and analysed through Conversation Analysis (CA). The purpose of this study is to describe the beginning of complaints and find ways to handle situations including complaining. The data comprise 26 pedagogically focused discussions that included indirect complaining. These were categorized into four classes: discussions which produced accounts, advice‐giving discussions, discussions expressing different viewpoints, and di…
School Mediation under the Spotlight: What Spanish Secondary Students Think of Mediation
2019
Educational professionals and policy-makers need to update their strategies to address and prevent school violence. Mediation has proved to be a useful tool for peace-building in different countries by developing individuals, their relationships, and the school climate. However, little research has assessed mediation practices. This study aims to evaluate mediation through the perceptions of secondary school students in Spain in order to highlight strengths and weaknesses of school mediation programs. It specifically aims to learn from the assessment by those who attended mediation and to detect whether there exist any significant differences regarding gender and school year. To do this, we…
Hacia la transformación de la escuela. Valoración de un programa de convivencia a partir de la voz del alumnado y del profesorado
2016
<p class="AbstractText">Learning to coexist continues to be one of the challenges faced by the current educational system, especially for those schools located in contexts at risk of social exclusion where the violence rate increases on a daily basis. The main aim sought by the present study consists in assessing the impact of a program developed at an educational center located in a vulnerable neighborhood of the city of Valencia (Spain). It is a quasi-experimental, pretest-posttest research with a control group that involved a total of 109 teachers and students. It deserves to be highlighted that this paper forms part of a broader research initiative, for which reason the results ob…
El metadiscurso interpersonal en los subgéneros periodísticos de opinión en inglés y español. Aplicación didáctica a la redacción en lengua inglesa
2011
El concepto de metadiscurso ha aportado luz nueva al análisis lingüístico al desarrollar la macro-función interpersonal o tenor, una parte esencial del registro (Halliday, 1978), permitiendo así profundizar en cómo se manifiesta la relación autor-lector en un texto. Sólo recientemente se ha empezado a aplicar a la didáctica de la traducción (Suau Jiménez y Dolón Herrero, 2008; Suau Jiménez, 2010a, 2010b). Por ser parte del objetivo comunicativo de los géneros periodísticos el informar y entretener al lector desde un cierto posicionamiento persuasivo es muy importante esta relación interpersonal y sus marcas lingüísticas (Dafouz Milne, 2008). Por otra parte, el metadiscurso conforma un patró…
La construcció del coneixement gramatical en aprenents d'educació primària i secundària: algunes aproximacions a l'aprenentatge del verb
2017
El verb és una de les categories que una gramàtica escolar ha d’abordar necessàriament, tant pel que fa al coneixement de la noció i de la seva relació amb altres categories, com per la funció fonamental que pren en l’escriptura. En aquest article presentem tres recerques que descriuen el procés d’aprenentatge que els alumnes de primària i de secundària segueixen a l’hora d’aprendre continguts vinculats amb el verb: el temps del present, el mode verbal i la complementació verbal. Aquests treballs mostren quines estratègies desenvolupen els aprenents i quins obstacles han d’afrontar per desenvolupar un raonament gramatical. Dels estudis es desprèn que determinades intervencions didàctiques (…
What People Make of Social Capital Online: An Empirical Study on the Conversion of Social Capital via Networking Sites
2010
Social capital is considered an important aspect of online social networks and the idea that it can be converted into other forms of capital, is central to the capital concept. Examples of such a conversion are finding a job or obtaining information faster than others. However, the conversion and, therefore, the relevance of online social capital have not been sufficiently researched. Results from an online survey conducted on three German SNS indicate large interpersonal differences in the effectiveness of social capital conversion. They are best explained by the amount of available social capital and active investments in social capital, i.e., networking. Surprisingly, demographic attribu…
Mindfulness y neurobiología
2006
En la actualidad asistimos a la introducción de las técnicas de mindfulness en la educación, la psicoterapia y en todo el ámbito científico en general. Una de las razones de este auge son los conocimientos proporcionados por las modernas técnicas de investigación neurobiológica. En este trabajo revisamos algunos de los efectos de mindfulness sobre los procesos perceptivos (apertura a la novedad), el estilo afectivo (afecto positivo y aproximación), la inmunidad (incremento) y la empatía (facilitación). Los hallazgos neurobiológicos sugieren que la práctica de mindfulness activa y fortalece diversas regiones cerebrales (especialmente la corteza prefrontal) encargadas de los procesos integrad…

How does sexual attraction alter social interaction behavior? We examined the influence of sexual orientation on locomotor approach-avoidance behavior and interpersonal distance. We immersed androphilic and gynophilic male subjects into a virtual environment and presented various male and female virtual persons. In the first experiment, subjects took a step forward (approach) or backward (avoidance) in response to the sex of the virtual person. We measured reaction time, peak velocity, and step size, and obtained ratings of sexual attractiveness in every trial. In the second experiment, subjects had to approach the virtual person as if they were to engage in a social interaction. Here, we a…

Violations of personal space are associated with discomfort. However, the exact function linking the magnitude of discomfort to interpersonal distance has not yet been specified. In this study, we explore whether interpersonal distance and discomfort are isotropic with respect to uncomfortably far or close distances. We also extend previous findings with regard to intrusions into personal space as well as maintenance of distances outside of personal space. We presented subjects with 15 interpersonal distances ranging from 40 to 250 cm and obtained verbal and joystick-based ratings of discomfort. Whereas discomfort rose immediately when personal space was entered, the gradient was less steep…
