Prospective elementary teachers’ perceptions of the processes of modeling: A case study

2012

In this paper we discuss a study on the approaches to modeling of students of the 4-year elementary school teacher program at the University of Palermo, Italy. The answers to a specially designed questionnaire are analyzed on the basis of an a priori analysis made using a general scheme of reference on the epistemology of mathematics and physics. The study is performed by using quantitative data analysis methods, i.e. factorial analysis of the correspondences and implicative analysis. A qualitative analysis of key words and terms used by students during interviews is also used to examine some aspects that emerged from the quantitative analysis. The students have been classified on the basis…

Effects of menu structure and touch screen scrolling style on the variability of glance durations during in-vehicle visual search tasks.

2011

The effects of alternative navigation device display features on drivers' visual sampling efficiency while searching forpoints of interest were studied in two driving simulation experiments with 40 participants. Given that the number of display items was sufficient, display features that facilitate resumption of visual search following interruptions were expected to lead to more consistent in-vehicle glance durations. As predicted, compared with a grid-style menu, searching information in a list-style menu while driving led to smaller variance in durations of in-vehicle glances, in particular with nine item displays. Kinetic touch screen scrolling induced a greater number of very short in-v…

Du gommage de l’infinitif dans la traduction polonaise de l’infinitive de Compte rendu de Perception (ICP): entre grammaire style et representation d…

2021

The study subject are Polish translations of the French structure NP1 + voir + NP2 + infinitive; we reject cases where the NP1 is represented by the pronoun on, and concentrate on translations in which the infinitive is not rendered. The analysis is based on the corpus of texts embracing 58 pairs of examples, each of which contains a French sentence with the investigated construction and a Polish sentence with its equivalent. Our aim is to identify factors which make translators erase the French infinitive. The conducted analysis reveals that the avoided infinitives belong to two groups: appearance verbs and dynamic position verbs; the most frequent are surgir (‘appear suddenly’), arriver (…

"#Dontstayinschool" : learner perceptions on the connection between listening to extramural music in English and different areas of English skills

2015

Vapaa-aikana tapahtuva kielenoppiminen on yhä suuremmassa roolissa nykyaikana. Sitä on jo jonkin verran tutkittu, mutta tutkimus on pääasiallisesti ollut kaikki vapaa-ajan aktiviteetit huomioon ottavaa, eikä siinä täten ole keskitytty tarkemmin tiettyyn aktiviteettiin kuten musiikkiin. Englanninkielinen musiikki on yleisesti ottaen dominoivassa asemassa markkinoilla Suomessa, ja musiikin kuuntelu tarjoaa oppimiseen paljon myös muita kuin auditiivisia mahdollisuuksia, sillä on normaalia että sitä kuunneltaessa nähdään myös lyriikoita videolta tai lauletaan mukana. Tämän tutkimuksen tavoite oli selvittää suomalaisten nuorten englanninkielisen musiikin päivittäisiä kuuntelutottumuksia sekä akt…

The closer¿ the unsafer: may the lack of safe distance be a silent contributor to the burden of traffic crashes in Spain?

2020

Not keeping an adequate safe distance is one of the elements that are directly related to traffic accidents. The main objective of this research was to identify the aspects that modulate the safe distance-accidents relation. Specifically, the frequency and reasons why drivers do not keep the safe distance, the perception of drivers regarding the probability of penalty, the penalties imposed and their severity, and the drivers’ opinion on the effectiveness of such penalties in order to change this behavior. A questionnaire was administrated to a sample of 1,100 Spanish drivers having any kind of driving license. The results showed that only the 5,6% of drivers always or sometimes do not keep…

Retinal Microcirculation in Type 1 Diabetic Patients With and Without Peripheral Sensory Neuropathy

2014

In patients with diabetes mellitus (DM), early retinal microvascular alterations can be observed even before the clinical diagnosis of diabetic retinopathy. This study aimed to investigate morphological and functional changes in retinal microvascular blood flow in type 1 diabetic patients with and without peripheral neuropathy (PNP) as compared to nondiabetic controls. Retinal microvascular blood flow (RBF) was assessed using scanning laser Doppler flowmetry (Heidelberg Retina Flowmeter, Heidelberg Engineering, Germany) before and after stimulation with flicker light. PNP was assessed using the neuropathy disability score (NDS) and by the evaluation of the vibration perception threshold (V…

How do native speakers of Russian evaluate yes/no questions produced by Finnish L2 learners?

2010

This study analyzes native Russian speakers’ evaluation of seven Russian yes/noquestions each produced by Finnish speakers in two sets of recordings (during a stay in Russia and after it). The Finnish speakers were six female university students of Russian. This research question is interesting because the two typologically unrelated languages differ in the prosody of yes/no-questions. In Russian a yes/no-question is created from a lexically and syntactically corresponding statement by means of intonation, whereas in Finnish the cue for questioning is an interrogative particle – ko/-kö instead of prosody. Hence, native Finnish speakers are likely to have difficulties in pronouncing Russian …

Teams’ perceptions of charismatic leadership: The role of average perceptions and homogeneity in predicting team performance via intra-team communica…

2023

Este estudio investiga si las percepciones intraequipo del carisma de los líderes se relacionan con el rendimiento del equipo a través de la calidad de la comunicación del equipo. Diferencio entre los roles de las percepciones promedio del liderazgo carismático y la homogeneidad de los miembros del equipo en estas percepciones. Se espera que tanto percepciones promedio más altas como una mayor homogeneidad predigan un mayor rendimiento del equipo a través de la calidad de la comunicación intraequipo. Además, planteo la hipótesis de que los efectos positivos de las percepciones promedio del carisma en la calidad de la comunicación y el rendimiento estarán moderados por la homogeneidad en est…

Perception du risque dépendance et demande d'assurance : une analyse à partir de l'enquête PATER

2013

Dans la littérature économique, de nombreux travaux tentent d'expliquer pourquoi les individus s’assurent aussi peu contre la dépendance. Du côté de l’offre, différents freins possibles au développement du marché de l’assurance dépendance ont d’ores et déjà été pointés du doigt par la littérature. Les estimations récentes montrent néanmoins que les limites imputables à l’offre ne suffisent pas à expliquer le faible développement du marché : même si les assurances étaient moins coûteuses et les couvertures proposées plus larges, la majorité des individus ne souscrirait toujours pas d’assurance. Il est donc nécessaire d’aller trouver des explications du côté de la demande d’assurance dépendan…
