Do teachers’ professional vision and teaching experience always go hand in hand? Examining knowledge-based reasoning of Finnish Grade 1 teachers
2021
This mixed-method study explored 54 Finnish Grade 1 teachers' professional vision and teaching experience. Teachers' retrospective think-aloud interviews, conducted while watching their eye-tracking recordings of classroom actions, were analysed according to the domains of knowledge-based reasoning. Negative associations between teaching experience and amount of knowledge-based reasoning were found. The qualitative examination of three teachers with different amounts of teaching experience provided concrete examples and broadened the findings. We suggest that teachers’ knowledge-based reasoning should be seen not only as an ability that increases with experience but also as an ability that …
Kobieca strona dyskursu onkologicznego. Empiryczne spojrzenie na demokratyzację wiedzy medycznej
2015
Artykuł poprzez osadzanie w teoretycznych ramach konstruktywizmu wpisuje chorobę nowotworową piersi w kategorię dyskursu. Takie podejście wymaga zadania pytań o depozytariuszy wiedzy medycznej oraz jej źródła, formy i sposoby dystrybucji. Nie chodzi tu o negację istnienia określonych jednostek chorobowych, lecz raczej zwrócenie uwagi na złożone powiązania pomiędzy wiedzą medyczną a światem społecznym. Klarowny obraz obiektywnej wiedzy zaczyna tracić jednoznaczne kontury, gdy zestawi się alternatywne reprezentacje językowe w odmienny sposób porządkujące i interpretujące doświadczenia związane ze zdrowiem i chorobą. Na płaszczyźnie empirycznej analiza opiera się na wynikach badań ilościowych,…
Encuentro de saberes: Huellas de memoria pluriversa y descolonización de la Universidad contemporánea
2018
This paper studies the Encounter of Knowledge as a project that, by welcoming mestres and mestras of ancestral knowledge into universities, contributes to decolonize higher education, broadening its field of memory. Based on a systematization exercise, we established a theoretical dialogue with Bajtin and Bejamin. Based on the participation of four mestres -Lucely Pío, raicera del Cerrado, Mãe Lu and Tata Mutá Imé, religious leaders of Candomblé and the political leader and shaman Álvaro Tukano of the Tukano nation- we show how the project promotes in the contemporary Brazilian university a space of mnemic pluriversity, capable of activating diverse narrative planes (biographical, political…
Improvements and applications of the elements of prototype-based clustering
2018
Clustering or cluster analysis is an essential part of data mining, machine learning, and pattern recognition. The most popularly applied clustering methods are partitioning-based or prototype-based methods. Prototype-based clustering methods usually have easy implementability and good scalability. These methods, such as K-means clustering, have been used for different applications in various fields. On the other hand, prototype-based clustering methods are typically sensitive to initialization, and the selection of the number of clusters for knowledge discovery purposes is not straightforward. In the era of big data, in high-velocity, ever-growing datasets, which can also be erroneous, outl…
Il disegno per la salvaguardia dell’architettura: la Centrale Termoelettrica di Giuseppe Samonà a Trapani
2019
Riflessioni grafiche per salvaguardare l’architettura. Nella Centrale Termoelettrica di Giuseppe Samonà, costruita a Trapani negli anni ’60, il concetto di spazio non inteso come mero luogo di lavoro, le relazioni armoniche che il manufatto instaura con il paesaggio, il linguaggio come esito del dualismo tra involucro e struttura e la lezione dei maestri del ‘900 sono tutti caratteri estrinsecabili attraverso il ridisegno critico. Un atto ermeneutico che tenta di definire il valore dell’edificio e diffonderne la conoscenza, al fine di scongiurarne l’oblio o, ancor peggio, la distruzione. Graphic reflections to safeguard the architecture. In the Thermoelectric Power Plant of Giuseppe Samonà,…
Teoría de la educación : educación y cultura en la sociedad de la información
2011
Se exponen las principales perspectivas en el estudio del comportamiento informacional: la perspectiva del usuario y la del sistema. En el primer caso, se asume una visión global del proceso de búsqueda de información y se desarrollan modelos teóricos y metodológicos para guiar la investigación en este campo. Se presentan como ejemplo la teoría del Sense-Making de Brenda Dervin y el modelo de Proceso de Búsqueda de Información de Carol Kuhlthau. En el segundo caso, se asume una perspectiva parcial del proceso de búsqueda de información, centrándose fundamentalmente en las transacciones entre usuario y el sistema o entre el usuario y la información. Se describen los estudios del uso de recur…
Algorithms for coherence checking and propagation of conditional probability bounds
2001
In this paper, we propose some algorithms for the checking of generalized coherence (g-coherence) and for the extension of imprecise conditional probability assessments. Our concept of g-coherence is a generalization of de Finetti’s coherence principle and is equivalent to the ”avoiding uniform loss” property for lower and upper probabilities (a la Walley). By our algorithms we can check the g-coherence of a given imprecise assessment and we can correct it in order to obtain the associated coherent assessment (in the sense of Walley and Williams). Exploiting some properties of the random gain we show how, in the linear systems involved in our algorithms, we can work with a reduced set of va…
Embodied Spirituality
2012
Published version of an article in the journal: Archive for the Psychology of Religion. Also available from the publisher at: http://dx.doi.org/10.1163/157361212X645340 The main findings on embodied spirituality within the Toronto Blessing are presented in this article. The aim of this study is to interpret ecstatic religious experiences from a psychological point of view. The theoretical framework is interdisciplinary, using theories from ego-psychology, social psychology, sociology, cultural anthropology, and ritual theory. Regarding the latter notion, Thomas Csordas has developed cultural phenomenology, which is a culturally constructed way of understanding a situation through using bodi…
Effet des pratiques et des connaissances sur la représentation sociale d'un objet : application à l'hygiène hospitalière
2008
The current study deals with the representation of hospital hygiene. The purpose is twofold: 1- to understand how knowledge about hygiene is acquired by nursing staff during their training (effect of the level of knowledge); 2- to identify how this knowledge evolves while practising a job in direct connection with hygiene (effect of practice). Three groups of participants were questioned: nursing staff (nursing executives, nurses and nursing auxiliaries), students training in nursing care (first, second and third year students) and non-specialist students. The results show that the three groups clearly share a common cultural base. This result confirms the existence of an overall architectu…
An Information Systems Design Theory for Integrated Requirements and Release Management Systems
2009
High-tech companies need to collect and analyze requirements and allocate them to appropriate product releases in market-driven product development. Development activities are typically scattered across multiple sites and involve multiple partners in different countries, complicating requirements and release management. Flexible, scalable, and secure groupware-based support for the activities provides substantial payoffs. Yet, the extant literature provides little theoretical guidance for designing and using requirements and release management systems in multi-site, multi-partner environments. This article develops the meta-requirements and a meta-design of an information systems design the…
