A methodology for developing evidence-based optimization models in humanitarian logistics
2022
AbstractThe growing need for humanitarian assistance has inspired an increasing amount of academic publications in the field of humanitarian logistics. Over the past two decades, the humanitarian logistics literature has developed a powerful toolbox of standardized problem formulations to address problems ranging from distribution to scheduling or locations planning. At the same time, the humanitarian field is quickly evolving, and problem formulations heavily rely on the context, leading to calls for more evidence-based research. While mixed methods research designs provide a promising avenue to embed research in the reality of the field, there is a lack of rigorous mixed methods research …
Volviendo a pensar la alfabetización a través de los métodos mixtos: un estudio desde la mirada de los alumnos, las familias y el profesorado en la E…
2020
Los métodos mixtos presentan una alternativa sobre la investigación de la alfabetización como un fenómeno complejo. Este artículo analiza la integración de enfoques cuantitativos y cualitativos para hacer inferencias causales entre la alfabetización como práctica social y los diferentes espacios de interacción. Este estudio se realizó siguiendo un diseño secuencial de métodos mixtos. La muestra estuvo compuesta por 1.540 niños, 1.438 familias y 74 maestros. El proceso de recogida de información combinó cuestionarios y procedimientos etnográficos. Los datos se analizaron mediante la realización de análisis correlacionales, modelo de ecuaciones estructurales para grupos múltiples y análisis c…
A mixed-methods approach to developing an understanding of teachers’ attitudes and their enactment of inclusive education
2017
This research sought to develop an understanding of teachers’ attitudes, sense of self-efficacy and approach to enacting inclusive education in their classrooms in two diverse countries. A mixed-methods research design guided the data collection and analysis. This article focuses on how quantitative and qualitative research approaches were used sequentially and how the findings were finally merged to provide more comprehensive insight into different aspects of teachers’ sometimes contradictory attitudes and approaches to implementing inclusive education. The meta-inferences presented here indicate that merging measurements and meanings can shed light on how teachers’ attitudes and self-effi…
Tecnologías en la creación de imágenes en las aulas. Un estudio de casos en tres escuelas públicas
2018
Esta investigación forma parte del proyecto “Estudio de la calidad estética de tres centros educativos valencianos” que profundiza en las técnicas y tecnologías con las que están creadas las imágenes presentes en los colegios, como variable de la calidad educativa. La metodología de investigación es plural, al combinar métodos artísticos, cualitativos y cuantitativos. La recogida de datos consiste en fotografiar las imágenes que se muestran en las paredes de 27 aulas en 3 escuelas. Las fotografías se analizan cualitativamente según su tecnología. Mediante investigación basada en imágenes se clasifican según sus procesos de producción: mecánicos, manuales, o mediante tecnología mixta. Los re…
Estudio comparativo de dos metodologías aplicadas para la comprensión de la música contemporánea en la educación secundaria obligatoria
2016
In this paper we try to discover which methodology is more appropriate for the comprehension of the contemporary music in the Secondary Education. For that purpose by a quasi-experiment, mixed, qualitative and quantitative, the preserved results through the application of two different methodologies have been compared: a traditional one base on the masterly class and another based in different kinds of audition. The obtained results after the didactical application on the quantitative level weren´t significant, however, on the qualitative level we could also observe that the pupils who subjected to that methodology had more advantageous results regarding to the comprehension of the contempo…
Riflessività, interazione e rispetto delle norme. Il contributo dei mixed methods tra analisi dei testi e social network analysis
2018
The book, through a special methodological mix that uses text analysis and social network analysis, explores the ways in which people, starting from some elements considered implicit, are able to problematize specific behaviours. People contribute differently to social change or reproduction, by selecting certain aspects of reality and attributing to these aspects power of constraint or facilitation. Starting from the theoretical approach of Margaret Archer, which looks at the reflexivity of social actors as the capacity to develop an internal conversation, which is able to mediate between structure and agency, the book deals with the dynamics that take place when reflexive types converse o…
Impact of a physical education service-learning programme on ASD children: A mixed-methods approach
2021
Abstract Background. Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) have few opportunities to engage in physical activity, which affects their already limited social and motor skills. Different Service-Learning (SL) proposals designed to meet this need have started to emerge, and research is required to better understand the services provided. Objective. Two objectives were established in this study: (1) to understand the impact of a physical education SL programme from the viewpoints of Physical Education Teacher Education (PETE) students and the families of the children with ASD involved; and (2) to analyse the programme’s effects on the motor domain of children with ASD (physical activity …
Intervención motivacional en un jugador de tenis
2020
Se presenta un estudio de caso único utilizando un diseño mixto de triangulación metodológica, realizado con un tenista que aspira a quedar semifinalista en un torneo nacional de tenis individual. Se hicieron ocho sesiones semanales y una de seguimiento, con el objetivo de fortalecer los componentes del modelo de coaching motivacional “La Jirafa de Cantón” utilizando el diálogo socrático. La eficacia de la intervención fue evaluada mediante una administración pre-post (línea base e intervención) de tres cuestionarios: la “Escala de Bienestar Psicológico de Ryffl, Escala de Autoestima de Rosenberg, y la Escala de Autoeficacia General de Schwarzer y Baessler. Al finalizar la intervención, se …
Dilemmaer i skandinavisk korlederutdanning
2021
Within higher education, programmes in choral conducting are offered of varying kinds and at different levels, from dedicated programmes to single courses that are embedded in other music programmes. The choral practice field is varied; choral leadership is partly a generic music competence and partly a profession. The variety and social reach of the choral movement suggest that the educational offering in choral conducting should be manifold in type and quantity in order to supply the practice field with qualified conductors. n this chapter we take a renewed look at material from three previous studies: (1) a mapping of Scandinavian choral leader education, based on document analysis and i…
Is It Possible to Predict an Athlete’s Behavior? The Use of Polar Coordinates to Identify Key Patterns in Taekwondo
2019
Elite sport psychologists help athletes develop planned competition strategies from a technical-tactical perspective, through the observation and analysis of previous performances. The aim of this study was to analyze the behavioral patterns used to score points in the 2012 London Olympic Games, by using a mixed observational methodology through a polar coordinate analysis. This analysis is a representation made into four quadrants of the relationships found between focal behavior [i.e., giving score points, (SC)] and conditioned behaviors considered as key factors in taekwondo, occurring before and after the focal behavior (i.e., retrospective/prospective behavior as indicated for each qua…
