Designing Dialogs Around Picture Book Apps
2019
In Norwegian kindergartens there is a strong emphasis on communication and language stimulation. In this educational context the reading of picture book apps offers an opportunity for extended dialogs, which have great didactic potential in that they integrate language knowledge with cultural knowledge. In this chapter we discuss what dimensions of the picture book text (words and pictures), medium (app on digital tablet) and situation (adult-child relations) that the teacher needs to take into consideration when designing dialogs to encourage early language and literacy development in kindergarten. This work represents the first phase of a major innovation project that will develop a resea…
Dialogic Feminist Gatherings: Impact of the Preventive Socialization of Gender-Based Violence on Adolescent Girls in Out-of-Home Care
2020
Gender-based violence is a social scourge with an increasing incidence at younger ages. Many studies have focused on finding effective solutions for overcoming this problem
Digital Storytelling in Teacher Training: Development of Basic Competences, Creativity and Multimodal Literacy Through Book Trailers
2018
In this chapter, the need of the integration of media and information and communication technologies in the literary education is addressed, not only from the point of view of the training in access to information and diffusion, but also in terms of the communicative situations of production and reception of literary texts. In this sense, the authors analyze the potential of digital storytelling in teacher training as a tool for the acquisition and development of basics competences, the promotion of creativity and the adquisition of the multimodal literacy of students. This research focuses on the use of book trailers as a way to enhance reading habits acquisition and to make students disco…
Hydrothermal fluid venting in the offshore sector of Campi Flegrei caldera: A geochemical, geophysical, and volcanological study
2016
The ongoing unrest at the Campi Flegrei caldera (CFc) in southern Italy is prompting exploration of its poorly studied offshore sector. We report on a multidisciplinary investigation of the Secca delle Fumose (SdF), a submarine relief known since antiquity as the largest degassing structure of the offshore sector of CFc. We combined high-resolution morpho-bathymetric and seismo-stratigraphic data with onshore geological information to propose that the present-day SdF morphology and structure developed during the initial stages of the last CFc eruption at Monte Nuovo in AD 1538. We suggest that the SdF relief stands on the eastern uplifted border of a N-S-trending graben-like structure forme…
Collaborative processes during report writing of a science learning project: The nature of discourse as a function of task requirements
2000
The aim of this article is to specify how different aspects of task assignments are related to different types of student discourse during the report writing phase of a science learning project. A group of four ninth-grade students of the Finnish comprehensive school (about 15-year-olds) participated in a project work involving laboratory experiments, reading literature, and analysing and reporting research findings. The empirical data were collected through videotaping and interviews in authentic classroom settings. The results indicated that construction of shared, high-level understanding was quite rare in this case of small group interaction. As one of the main reasons for this, we sugg…
Habermas y Levinas: hacia el diálogo desde dos niveles
2014
A continuación presento las conclusiones de una investigación motivada por la necesidad de crear condiciones para el diálogo en sociedades no consolidadas democráticamente. Planteo una relectura de la ética discursiva habermasiana desde las críticas que hace Emmanuel Levinas a la filosofía de la Totalidad y, desde allí, propongo una serie de aportes, incluso complementarios, entre los autores. El diálogo se hace posible, pero implica la consideración de otros niveles de análisis que en principio no están contemplados en la teoría de Jürgen Habermas.
A diffusion model account of normal and impaired readers.
2004
Acquired aphasics and dyslexics with even very profound word reading impairments have been shown to perform relatively well on the lexical decision task (e.g., Buchanan, Hildebrandt, & MacKinnon, 1999), but direct contrasts with unimpaired participants data is often complicated by extremely long reaction times for patient data. The dissociation between lexical decision and word naming performance shown by these patients is of theoretical importance, and here we present an analysis of processing underlying the lexical decision task. We are able to determine what aspects of performance are affected by acquired aphasics in the lexical decision task. We fit lexical decision data from aphasic pa…
Letter Position Coding Across Modalities: The Case of Braille Readers
2012
BackgroundThe question of how the brain encodes letter position in written words has attracted increasing attention in recent years. A number of models have recently been proposed to accommodate the fact that transposed-letter stimuli like jugde or caniso are perceptually very close to their base words.MethodologyHere we examined how letter position coding is attained in the tactile modality via Braille reading. The idea is that Braille word recognition may provide more serial processing than the visual modality, and this may produce differences in the input coding schemes employed to encode letters in written words. To that end, we conducted a lexical decision experiment with adult Braille…
Inferential processes in readers with Down syndrome
2013
The aim of this work is to know if the source of the difficulty in making inferences, readers with Down syndrome, is in access to prior knowledge or constructing ideas from purely textual knowledge (based on Saldaña and Frith, 2002 for autism). Involved a sample of 20 students with Down syndrome and mild mental retardation (mean IQ = 60) and a control group of 20 children without cognitive deficits. They were matched as to their extent read metal age via Prueba de Evaluación del Retraso Lector (average 8 years). We created two experimental situations: a) subjects had to generate inferences based on physical knowledge, b) social inferences about knowledge. The ability to check and reaction t…
Disleksija, kā skolēni ar disleksiju var labāk mācīties skolā
2021
Šī maģistra darba mērķis ir definēt disleksiju, noteikt disleksijas raksturīgās iezīmes, izglītot skolotājus, lai viņi ikdienā saskartos ar skolēniem, kuriem ir šāds traucējums, spētu palīdzēt viņiem mācību procesā un, galvenokārt, paaugstināt viņu pašcieņu, un likt viņiem justies apmierinātiem ar sevi, izmantojot mūsdienās pieejamos tehnoloģiskos resursus. Šim nolūkam tika izmantota racionāla metode. Pētījuma dalībniece ir 12 gadus veica meitene no Limas, kas atrodas Perū, un viņas skolotāji, kuri tika konsultēti un atbalstīti. Šai meitenei nesen tika diagnosticēta disleksija. Iepriekš tika noteiktas vairākas nepareizas diagnozes. Rezultātā svarīgi bija izprast viņas vājās un stiprās puses…
