Technai e prerogative divine sulla scena del teatro di Eschilo
2019
Lo studio indaga la posizione delle technai nell’opera di Eschilo, con particolare attenzione per il ruolo occupato dalle divinità come originarie, quando non esclusive detentrici e inventrici dei saperi tecnici. Attraverso una dettagliata disamina dell’uso del vocabolario della techne nei diversi drammi eschilei, emerge una doppia accezione del sapere tecnico, sia tradizionale che specificamente prometeico. In tal senso, la vicenda drammatica descritta nel Prometeo incatenato appare particolarmente rilevante per cogliere motivi di continuità e differenze all’interno del sistema di pensiero greco, specificamente eschileo, sulla techne. Chiude la disamina una postilla critica su due passi es…
Eiropas Savienības kohēzijas politikas efektivitāte reģionālo nevienlīdzību mazināšanā Eiropas savienībā un Latvijas reģionos
2022
Maģistra darba mērķis ir novērtēt ES kohēzijas politikas efektivitāti, identificēt būtiskākos faktorus, kas ietekmē to ietekmē un pielietot izstrādāto metodiku Latvijas reģioniem. Īpašs uzsvars likts uz faktoru, kas ietekmē ES kohēzijas politikas īstenošanas efektivitāti, noteikšanu. Pielietojot daudzfaktoru lineāro regresiju, kurā vidējais IKP uz vienu iedzīvotāju pieaugums ir indikators ekonomiskai attīstībai, tika konstatēts, ka būtiskākie efektivitāti ietekmējošie faktori ir pārvaldības kvalitāte, tai skaitā, korupcijas līmenis, un bezdarba līmenis. Mazāka, bet arī nozīmīga ir iedzīvotāju skaita izmaiņu, izglītības līmeņa un sociālo aspektu ietekme. Latvijā efektivitāti mazina arī centr…
Educational Inequalities and Their Impact on Social Mobility of the second generation: A Comparison of North Africans in France and the Second Genera…
2013
International audience; This paper aims to compare the educational outcomes of children of immigrants in France and in the US to understand the educational inequalities and opportunities for social mobility for the second generation in both countries. The comparison is focused on children from two groups: North Africans in France and Mexicans in the US. By using two longitudinal datasets, the French Educational Panel Survey and Add Health, we examine aspirations, expectations and attainment in secondary education in the two contexts. We explore in particular the role of parental education on attainment. We also utilize in-depth interviews to understand their educational experiences and thei…
Poincaré Type Inequalities for Vector Functions with Zero Mean Normal Traces on the Boundary and Applications to Interpolation Methods
2019
We consider inequalities of the Poincaré–Steklov type for subspaces of H1 -functions defined in a bounded domain Ω∈Rd with Lipschitz boundary ∂Ω . For scalar valued functions, the subspaces are defined by zero mean condition on ∂Ω or on a part of ∂Ω having positive d−1 measure. For vector valued functions, zero mean conditions are applied to normal components on plane faces of ∂Ω (or to averaged normal components on curvilinear faces). We find explicit and simply computable bounds of constants in the respective Poincaré type inequalities for domains typically used in finite element methods (triangles, quadrilaterals, tetrahedrons, prisms, pyramids, and domains composed of them). The second …
Finnish Quality Evaluation Discourse : Swimming Against the Global Tide?
2023
AbstractThis chapter discusses Finnish quality evaluation in comprehensive education, recognising that it frequently differs from that used by the Global Education Reform Movement (GERM) in most countries. Instead of high-stakes testing of pupil achievement, monitoring or school inspection, Finnish quality evaluation (QE) rests mainly on sample-based national testing and self-evaluations conducted in schools and municipalities. The argument presented here is that, although reform of the Finnish education system has often taken a different path from other countries, at the level of discourse, the Finnish system is increasingly caught between the more usual approach to QE and the Finnish vari…
Language Education for Everyone? Busting Access Myths
2023
AbstractFinland has, rather successfully, promoted an image of itself as a model of educational excellence and linguistic equity. This chapter problematises this image by analysing Finnish language education policies at the comprehensive school level. For our analysis we use a three-fold understanding of access as; (a) having the opportunity to participate in language education (getting in); (b) participating in education that is meaningful and effective for the pupil (getting it); and (c) receiving credentials that are societally legitimate and valuable assets (getting out). We elaborate on each aspect of access by debunking three myths for the Finnish context that: (a) Multilingualism is …
Ecological Sustainability and Steering of Finnish Comprehensive Schools
2023
AbstractWith the climate catastrophe and biodiversity loss, our globe is facing enormous challenges: the basis of life on Earth is in danger. Eco-anxiety and global eco-social crises are also driving education to search for solutions to build a sustainable future, for instance the United Nations Agenda 2030 for Sustainable Development views education as a key instrument for change. One of the key promises of the Finnish Ministry of Education is to commit to sustainable development, and the Finnish National Forum for Skills Anticipation states that important future skills should include knowledge of sustainable development. In national reports on how to carry out Agenda 2030, Finland has hig…
Negotiated, Given and Self-Made Paths : Immigrant Origin Girls and Post-compulsory Educational Transition in Finland
2023
AbstractAlthough Finland still has a relatively low proportion of students with a migrant background, it has not been able to ensure that immigrants and their descendants have equal educational opportunities. Education could enhance integration but migrant backgrounds have a persistent impact. In this chapter, our focus is on post-comprehensive educational decision-making processes of immigrant origin adolescent girls, with the viewpoint of the multifaceted intertwinement of gender and ethnicity. We conceptualise the educational decisions as negotiations that adolescents have to have with their families, teachers, counsellors and peers. Within these negotiations, the negotiating parties try…
Municipal Governance of Comprehensive Education : The emergence of local universalisms
2023
The governance of Finland’s comprehensive school system has histori- cally evolved from centralised governance into a blend of national and local (munic- ipal) decision-making authority. The two-fold model of governance was launched in the 1970s according to the planning economy logic, where the national educa- tion policies were enacted and regulated through strict and detailed legislation, a redistributive and ‘earmarked’ state subsidy system and a uniform national core curriculum. At an ideological level, comprehensive reform was tied firmly to the principle of equal opportunities. However, changes in administrative thinking since the 1990s have created a new balance between governmental…
