Child-Centered and Teacher-Directed Practices in Two Different Countries: A Descriptive Case Study in Finnish and Japanese Grade 1 Classrooms

2023

This descriptive case study examined how teaching practices were evidenced in Grade 1 classrooms in two different cultural and educational contexts, Finland and Japan. Teachers’ teaching practices were video-recorded in 53 classrooms in Finland and six classrooms in Japan and rated with the Early Childhood Classroom Observation Measure by trained investigators. Four Finnish teachers and two Japanese teachers having the highest scores in either child-centered or teacher-directed practices were selected for a descriptive case study to take a closer look at how teaching practices in terms of management, climate, and instruction are evidenced in authentic classroom situations. The analysis reve…

Les crânes déformés de Saint-Etienne (Beaune, Côte d'Or, Ve-VIe siècles). Données archéologiques et anthropologiques

1995

The sector of the Saint-Étienne necropolis (Beaune), reveals the existence of two clearly separated zones which are characterized by different funeral and cultural practices: tomb architecture, archaeological material and artificially deformed crania. This seems to provide evidence of two distinct groups. A preliminary morpho-metrical study of four skulls and the examination of several CT scans of three of them, allow us to confirm the presence of artificial antero-posterior cranial deformations.

"Sam meets Alicia, falls in love, gets her pregnant, and starts having doubts" : dating and sex in English high school textbooks

2015

Onnellisuus ja tyytyväisyys elämään ovat länsimaisille ihmisille keskeisiä tavoitteita. Useat tutkimukset ovat toistuvasti osoittaneet että ihmissuhteilla on suuri merkitys näiden tavoitteiden saavuttamiselle. Koulujen oppikirjateksteillä on mahdollisuus esitellä hyviä ihmissuhdemalleja, joita oppilaat voivat halutessaan soveltaa omissa elämissään. Seurustelusuhteiden kuvauksista oppikirjoissa ei kuitenkaan ole tehty selvityksiä, vaikka seurustelu onkin ajankohtainen ja merkityksellinen aihe useille lukioikäisille. Tässä tutkimuksessa selvitettiin miten seurustelusuhteita käsitellään Suomen kouluissa englannin opiskeluun käytetyissä Open Road -kirjasarjan osissa 1–3. Tutkimusmetodina on Jam…

Unscrambling the Average User of Habbo Hotel

2007

The “user” is an ambiguous concept in human-computer interaction and information systems. Analyses of users as social actors, participants, or configured users delineate approaches to studying design-use relationships. Here, a developer’s reference to a figure of speech, termed the “average user,” is contrasted with design guidelines. The aim is to create an understanding about categorization practices in design through a case study about the virtual community, Habbo Hotel. A qualitative analysis highlighted not only the meaning of the “average user,” but also the work that both the developer and the category contribute to this meaning. The average user a) represents the unknown, b) influen…

PAROLE MIGRANTI TRA ORIENTE E OCCIDENTE

2015

L’immagine che oggi il Mediterraneo offre è lungi dall’essere rassicurante. Ai nostri giorni si può dire che le sue opposte rive non abbiano in comune che le loro insoddisfazioni. E sempre più si percepisce questo mare come spazio di attraversamenti intollerati. Percepire il Mediterraneo partendo dal suo passato rimane tuttavia un’abitudine tenace, e a volte viene da pensare che la retrospettiva prevalga sulla prospettiva. La retrospettiva è però irrinunciabile, oggi più che mai. E lo è nel momento in cui la realizzazione di una convivenza in seno ai territori multietnici, là dove si incrociano e si mescolano culture, religioni, lingue diverse, conosce sotto i nostri occhi uno smacco crudel…

Progettazione, narrazione e analisi di pratiche didattiche di genere nel primo ciclo dell'istruzione

2017

The research contribution is part of the PRIN “Success training, inclusion and social cohesion: innovative strategies, ICT and valuation models”, coordinated by G. Domenici at national level, which ended on 28th February 2016. Within the Research unit of Palermo different assumptions have been made, including that of school failure in the first cycle which would be diminished if teachers had implemented a more careful teaching to different ways of learning of male and female pupils. Intervention refers to the process of construction, implementation, narration and analysis of thirty gender teaching practices. The first research goal has been that of producing and validating tools to provide …

Analisi di pratiche didattiche ‘al maschile’ e ‘al femminile’ nel primo ciclo dell’istruzione

2017

Si è inteso verificare l’ipotesi che l’insuccesso scolastico nel primo ciclo dell’istruzione diminuisce quando gli insegnanti attuano una didattica più attenta al diverso modo di apprendere e di relazionarsi degli alunni e delle alunne. Si presentano i risultati dell’analisi di 44 pratiche didattiche che, come hanno dichiarato esplicitamente i docenti, intendevano rispondere ai bisogni differenziati degli alunni e delle alunne, seguendo i principi della didattica personalizzata. Sono presentati gli orientamenti metodologico-didattici ricorrenti nelle pratiche narrate dagli insegnanti siciliani coinvolti nella ricerca e sono forniti alcuni orientamenti per una didattica attenta alle differen…

Effectiveness of using EU funds in modelling the public and private spaces - examples of good practice

2015

Od ponad dekady, Polska jako kraj oraz jej obywatele jako osoby fizyczne czy też prawne, mają coraz szerszy dostęp do korzystania z funduszy unijnych na realizację przedsięwzięć związanych szeroko pojętym zagospodarowaniem przestrzeni. Wyniki analizy przykładów tzw. dobrych praktyk potwierdzają postawioną tezę, iż szeroko pojęta efektywność zrealizowanych przedsięwzięć zasadniczo różni się w segmencie przestrzeni publicznej w stosunku do realizacji projektów przez interesariuszy prywatnych. Ponad to widoczna jest wyraźna dwubiegunowość w modelowaniu zarówno przestrzeni publicznej jak i prywatnej na terenach miejskich w porównaniu do obszarów wiejskich.

Using schematic representation of resource systems to examine how first year engineering students use resources in their studies of mathematics

2018

International audience; Very little research has been done on how students use resources when studying mathematics. My project aim to examine this both quantitatively and qualitatively. The qualitative data collection includes hierarchical focus interviews and schematic representation of resource system, with the intent to impose as little terminology as possible on the students.
