Russian-speaking immigrant teachers in Finnish classrooms : Views and lived experiences in Finnish education
2017
Success of integration depends, amongst other things, on immigrants’ involvement in the host country’s education. Educational differences between home and host countries can either promote or hinder academic progress of immigrants and, consequently, overall process of their integration. The goal of this study is to investigate what effect differences between educational systems of Finland and neighbouring Russia may have on professional induction of Russian-speaking immigrant teachers in Finland. This is done through researching experiences of Russian-speaking teachers in Finnish education. Their views and interpretations of their own eligibility and Finnish schooling practices lay foundati…
I paradigmi scientifici della ricerca didattica
2022
The initial positivist paradigm, derived from experimental medicine and experimental psychology, is followed by the empirical research in the didactic field, the phenomenological and the constructivist one. More recently the action research paradigm and evidence-based experimentation have been arisen. The great distinction that should be made today, as regards empirical research in the didactic field, is between the paradigms of reduction and the paradigms of complexity. The reflection on the degree of knowability of teaching practices focuses on some questions: is it pos- sible to identify similarities and coefficients between the results of research on the same theme but carried out in di…
"Yksilöllistä huomiota arkisissa tilanteissa" : päiväkodin toimintakulttuurin kehittäminen lasten itsetuntoa vahvistavaksi
2007
Itsetunnon perustaa rakennetaan päiväkoti-iässä. Päivi Koiviston tutkimus yhden päiväkodin toimintakulttuurista osoittaa, että lasten itsetunnon vahvistaminen päiväkodin arjessa on mahdollista, mutta se vaatii kasvattajilta ja koko työyhteisöltä tietoista toimintaa ja uskallusta oman työn kriittiseen arviointiin ja kehittämiseen. Lasten itsetunnon vahvistaminen on vaativa ja moniulotteinen tehtävä. Koivisto kehitti teoriaa ja käytäntöä yhdistäen mallin niistä tekijöistä, jotka osoittautuivat oleellisiksi lasten itsetunnon vahvistamisessa päiväkodin arkipäivän tilanteissa. – Mielenkiintoista oli havaita lasten arvostavan näitä samoja asioita, joihin tutkimuksen aikana yritettiin kiinnittää h…
Comparing male and female students’ self-efficacy and self-regulation skills in two undergraduate mathematics course contexts
2018
International audience; Students' efficacy beliefs have a positive influence on students' academic achievement and retention, especially for female students. These beliefs are closely linked to students' ability to regulate their learning. In this quantitative study, students' self-efficacy and self-regulation of learning are compared in two university mathematics courses that differ in content but also in their pedagogical setting: one is a more traditional lecture-based course, and the other course is taught with the Extreme Apprenticeship (XA) method. The analysis is based on the same cohort of students in the two contexts (N=91). The results suggest that students have higher self-effica…

International distance learning design experiences. Above the clouds, a project for a temporary event in the Bolognetta valley
2021
The health emergency due to the spread of COVID-19 has required a methodological and technological adaptation to the entire world of teaching and researching, in order to define in a brief time new methods for designing and teaching. In consideration of this, Campus Asia1 decided to organize one of the key events of its educational offer in a distance learning form, an international winter school with overn eighty participants and five international guest universities. Together with Kyushu University (China), Tongji University (Japan) and Pusan National University (South Korea), the edition held between 15 and 26 February 2021 saw the participation of two European partner universities, the …
Nomenclature for Hydrogeological Instability Risks
2022
The nomenclature for hydrogeological instability risks includes four main risks, which are distinguished according to the risk causes : 1) hydrogeological risk, that is slowly caused by natural factors (e.g. collapse landslides in a calcareous cliff in uninhabited areas and erosion along a marly-calcareous slope) in environments where human activities are minimal, i.e. woods, forests and mountain pastures; 2) hydraulic-pedological farming risk, that implies the occurrence of landslides in every winter and is caused by incorrect crop selection, not suitable for the soil and climate parameters (e.g. on a hilly slope with a clay vertisol type with a landslide having different fronts, when the …
A soil biodiversity survey coupled with the national soil quality monitoring network?
2021
International audience; Despite its importance for human activities, soil biodiversity remains largely unknown and threatened. Aware of the need for large-scale monitoring, we studied the feasibility to add a soil biodiversity survey (RMBS-Biodiversity) to the already existing French soil quality monitoring network (RMQS). We worked with soil biodiversity experts to couple RMBS-Biodiversity with RMQS i.e. to choose soil taxons and functions, the methodologies and the sampling design. According to the experts, the sampling design of RMQS fits with a soil biodiversitysurvey. We propose sampling protocols for i) bacteria and fungi, ii) protists, iii) nematodes, iv) mesofauna (particularly spri…
Data practices and inequality in South African early childhood development policy: Technocratic management versus social transformation
2019
Background: In 1994, the African National Congress identified early childhood development as a potential strategy to redress the inequalities of apartheid, however, two and a half decades later, poverty still persists, and South Africa is one of the most unequal countries in the world. Aim: This article explores how policy texts based on and with the use of certain data practices establish ‘truths’ about childhoods and society, construct families and communities, and determine forms of provision to address inequality. Setting: In 2015, the South African government published the National Integrated Early Childhood Policy (NIECDP) to continue to address poverty and inequality. Its implementat…
Da Vicolo Corto a Parco della Vittoria. Storie di Urban Community Gardens a Palermo
2017
Il tema dello spazio pubblico è ormai da anni al centro del dibattito non solo disciplinare. La loro realizzazione, ma soprattutto la loro gestione, risulta complessa e spesso bloccata negli ingranaggi burocratici e di competenze che caratterizzano, ormai, la maggior parte delle amministrazioni. Costruire politiche innovative che avviino processi virtuosi mirati alla realizzazione condivisa di spazi pubblici può essere una possibile “cura” a questo male. Le riflessioni qui presentate su questa possibile nuova declinazione del progetto dello spazio pubblico, partendo da una teoria, si sviluppano grazie a un’esperienza concreta cui i due autori hanno preso parte. Nel 2015 il Comune di Palermo…
