Emerging conceptualisations on professional agency and learning
2017
This chapter provides an evaluative summary of the major contributions from the first section of this book, comprising conceptualisations on professional agency and work-related learning. The evaluation focuses on the differences, similarities, and strengths of the approaches and conceptualisations touched on. The focus is, first of all, on how the core meanings of agency and the agentic perspective are understood. Secondly, the approaches are addressed according to their view of how the contextual aspects of working life relate to agency. Thirdly, attention is given to the practical conclusions deriving from different understandings of agency. The present chapter thus elaborates how these …
Pre-service foreign language teachers' expectations of their studies and teacher profession
2017
Uusia kielenopettajia tutkittaessa on havaittu, että opettajan alkutaival on usein haastavaa, ja monet toimivat näissä tilanteissa tavoilla, jotka eivät ole edullisia opettajien hyvinvoinnille ja ammattitaidolle. Ratkaisuksi ehdotetaan yleensä kielenopettajakoulutuksen kehittämistä. Kielenopettajaksi opiskelevien toimijuutta ja käsityksiä on kuitenkin tutkittu melko vähän. Tämän tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli selvittää, mitä kielenopettajaopiskelijat odottavat yliopisto-opinnoiltansa ja millaisia käsityksiä heillä on opettajan professiosta. Näitä käsityksiä vertailtiin kieltenopettajankoulutuksen tavoitteisiin ja periaatteisiin, jotka ovat Suomessa tutkimusperusteisia. Tutkimuksen aineisto k…
A replication study on the intuitiveness of programming language syntax
2023
AbstractIn this article, we present a replication of an empirical experiment that evaluates intuitiveness and comprehensibility of keywords relating to different concepts in programming languages, originally conducted by Stefik and Gellenbeck. Novice programmers face many barriers when learning programming. One of these barriers is syntax, which for many languages is not designed based on empirical evidence. The purpose of the experiment was to provide more empirical evidence on the subject, to find out if the results of the original experiment can be replicated and if conducting the experiment in an environment where English is not the native language affects the results. The results of ou…
La promoción de la lectura: un análisis crítico de los artículos de investigación
2017
La lectura es un tema que preocupa cada día más. Los bajos índices de consumo, los resultados de comprensión lectora de los alumnos y el reto que supone el nuevo contexto digital han provocado todo un debate en torno a la lectura y su promoción. Este artículo analiza las investigaciones publicadas entre 2000-2015 en revistas internacionales indexadas en Scopus y en WoS. Estos trabajos resaltan la necesidad de abordar esta temática desde una mirada interdisciplinar y empírica que permita establecer las bases para una correcta actuación y la consolidación de hábitos de lectura estables, especialmente entre los niños y jóvenes. Del análisis realizado se concluye que buena parte de la oferta ac…
FROM THE DESCRIPTIVE GEOMETRY TO THE INFORMATICS LANGUAGE.
2010
This study is centred in the environment of the research into solutions of the problems of graphic representation, expressing theoretical considerations which allow the carrying out of geometric-descriptive procedures decoded in informatics language, for implementing CAD commands. The solution of these problems requires a reliable command of stereometry and descriptive geometry and it can extend remarkably the level of external geometric competences. The implementation of the means of ICT has brought a higher effectiveness of graphing mapping processes. In the informatics field, the advent of software dedicated to computerized representation has increased the possibilities of investigation …
Traduzione e soggettività. Ancora su Pasolini e il cinema
2021
This paper reconstructs the debate raised by the thesis on cinema proposed by Pier Paolo Pasolini. In particular, two basic notions are addressed: the idea of cinema as a 'written language of reality' and the role of free indirect discourse for the establishment of a 'poetry cinema'. Pasolini is put into dialogue with Gilles Deleuze, Paolo Fabbri and other semiologists.
The role of linguistic and cognitive factors in emotion recognition difficulties in children with ASD, ADHD or DLD
2020
Abstract Background: Many children with neurodevelopmental disorders such as autism spectrum disorder (ASD), attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) or developmental language disorder (DLD) have difficulty recognizing and understanding emotions. However, the reasons for these difficulties are currently not well understood. Aims: To compare the emotion recognition skills of children with neurodevelopmental disorders as well as those children’s skills with the skills of their typically developing (TD) age peers. Also, to identify the role of underlying factors in predicting emotion recognition skills. Methods & Procedures: The 6–10‐year‐old children (n = 50) who participated in th…
The Significance of Silent Moments in Creating Words for the Not-Yet-Spoken Experiences in Threat of Divorce
2015
In the context of couple therapy involving the threat of divorce, the study examined the significance of silent moments for arriving at words for the not-yet-spoken experiences. It also examined whether interactional and embodied synchrony occurred during such silent moments. A mixed method analysis was conducted, focusing on the therapeutic dialogue, psychophysiological data (the Autonomic Nervous System, ANS), and the participants’ thoughts and feelings during individual Stimulated Recall interviews. Two episodes containing several silent moments were analyzed. The analysis indicated that during the silent moments the participants continued the therapeutic conversations through their enti…
Does predictability matter? Effects of cue predictability on neurocognitive mechanisms underlying prospective memory
2015
Prospective memory (PM) represents the ability to successfully realize intentions when the appropriate moment or cue occurs. In this study, we used event-related potentials (ERPs) to explore the impact of cue predictability on the cognitive and neural mechanisms supporting PM. Participants performed an ongoing task and, simultaneously, had to remember to execute a pre-specified action when they encountered the PM cues. The occurrence of the PM cues was predictable (being signalled by a warning cue) for some participants and was completely unpredictable for others. In the predictable cue condition, the behavioural and ERP correlates of strategic monitoring were observed mainly in the ongoing…
Tiše edešʹ dalʹše budešʹ glazami Polâkov
2020
This article is devoted to the analysis of the use of the Russian proverb by Polish Internet users: ”We’re getting it done, slowly but surely”. The analysis showed that the authors of the statements know the origin of this proverb, but misunderstand its meaning, which is caused by an interlanguage homonymy.
