La formazione degli insegnanti e le strategie per promuovere la scuola inclusiva
2020
L’educazione inclusiva per divenire una realtà tangibile nel processo educativo della scuola odierna necessita di azioni concrete e di un monitoraggio costante. La misurazione della qualità dell’inclusione rappresenta uno dei fattori fondamentali del suo sviluppo, ma sicuramente l’elemento chiave è la classe docenti, i fautori principali e primari dell’educazione inclusiva. I docenti possono realizzare l’inclusive education se opportunamente formati e se vengono offerti loro validi strumenti di autovalutazione. Formare gli insegnanti a promuovere l’inclusione direttamente nei contesti in cui operano e in relazione ai loro studenti, vuol dire garantire a ogni persona il successo formativo e …

Employee commitment to energy management : a qualitative interview study about employee commitment to energy management in industrial companies and p…
2015
Energy management is increasingly important to organisations that consume significant amounts of energy mainly due to the needs to comply with changing legislation and for saving financial resources. Even though energy management has received academic attention, it has not been studied in the perspective of employee commitment. Employee commitment may create various benefits to an organisation and its employees. Hence, this study aims at creating a better understanding of why employees commit to energy management and how it may be enhanced. This qualitative study was conducted using theme interviews as a data collection method. 14 employees, working among energy management, in eleven organi…
Competitiveness and Sustainability in tourist firms and destinations
2020
Tourism is a major activity in the global economy, not only in terms of its economic impact but also its social and environmental implications. The management practices and processes adopted by tourist companies and destinations are very heterogeneous and have variable impacts on the triple-bottom-line sustainability (people, profit, planet) of the ecosystem. However, there is still only limited available knowledge about the value of different practices for promoting both sustainable development and greater competitiveness. This Special Issue includes papers that present new ideas, theories, advancements, experiences, evidence or methodologies that support the convergence of economic, socia…
Ethnographic Interventions: A Strategy and Experiments in Mapping Sociospatial Practices
2007
A growing awareness exists of the possibilities of architectural research adopting working methods used by artists. Many artists have adapted ethnographic methodologies to map site specificity and issues related to community and sociospatial practices. This paper draws on related examples of art practice to formulate a specific research strategy: ethnographic intervention. Ethnographic intervention has three characteristics: (a) ethnographic mapping of spatial practices on site, (b) the possibility of a horizontal replication of the study, and (c) an intervention protocol. We define ethnographic mapping as a critical process directed towards a specific cultural, social, or architectural sit…
Factory Workers' Ordinary User Experiences: An Overlooked Perspective
2018
Experiences with technology often are described as exciting and outstanding, for instance, in relation to novel technologies at home or at work. In this article, we aim to complement this perspective by emphasizing people’s mundane and ordinary experiences with technology, that is, unremarkable experiences happening in the background of people’s attention. Based on our investigations of user experience in a semiconductor factory, we show how such ordinary experiences are substantial in workers’ everyday interactions with technology, which are mainly shaped by repetitive activities and routines. However, current conceptions of user experience seem to overlook those mundane experiences and ho…
The World Hobbit Project in Finland : Audience responses and transmedial user practices
2016
This article examines audience engagement with The Hobbit fantasy film trilogy as a participatory and transmedial experience. To do so, we use the data collected by The World Hobbit Project in order to investigate the transmedial user practices of the Finnish audience of the trilogy. We will, firstly, look at what kinds of transmedial user practices – and transmedia users – emerge from our data. Secondly, we will ask the following questions: How do transmedia users receive and experience the films? What are the meanings assigned to The Hobbit films and the fantasy texts and user practices related to them, and what do these meanings tell of the broader meanings and uses of fantasy? Doing so,…
