One of the main tasks of an academic library is to guide students in critical evaluation and the ethical use of sources so that they can interpret, evaluate and create information in a correct and proper way. This should be integrated into the subjects, which is a huge challenge. Many students are told that they can freely select the reference style as long as they are consistent. But it is difficult to be consistent when you barely know what a reference style is. It is not easy for the librarian to answer how one refers to a governmental white paper in a self-designed reference system. To do this in a simple way, it is desirable to share the task between academic tutors and the library. T…
Foretrekker studentene trykte eller elektroniske ressurser?
2012
A project at the University of Agder has studied the use of e-readers as a tool for academic study. E-readers (Kindle DX and iPad) were loaded with texts from required reading lists in five courses with 94 participating students. Initially 87 students responded to the invitation to participate in a survey, but eventually 13 of these submissions had to be removed, as the degree of completion was not sufficient. The final response rate achieved was 79%. Students were in general positive to the use of e-readers but still show a preference for print on paper as the best medium for serious academic study. When reading books 54% preferred print, 28% a combination of print and e-reader and lastly …
Organización del tiempo de sueño y descanso en la educación preprimaria de Suecia y España. Una lectura desde el bienestar de la primera infancia
2021
Los tiempos de sueño y descanso juegan un papel fundamental en el bienestar y el aprendizaje de los niños y niñas más pequeños. La gestión del tiempo escolar, que es organizado por los sistemas educativos, afecta a las horas de instrucción del alumnado o al régimen de organización de la jornada lectiva, así como a los momentos dedicados al descanso y a las funciones vitales (comer, dormir, etc.). Este artículo se centra en el análisis normativo en el nivel estatal en España y Suecia en relación con estas cuestiones pedagógicas. Los resultados muestran cómo ambos sistemas educativos organizan el tiempo escolar de forma variable, lo que se traduce en diferentes organizaciones del tiempo, espa…
“If you seek it, you will find it”. Methodology for the carpological study of the Middle Magdalenian of Cova de les Cendres site (Teulada-Moraira, Al…
2016
La carpología, el estudio de los frutos, semillas, tubérculos, rizomas y bulbos recuperados en yacimientos arqueológicos, ha sido aplicada mayoritariamente a contextos correspondientes a sociedades productoras, mientras que los estudios carpológicos de yacimientos de cazadores-recolectores son escasos. En los últimos años, estos han experimentado un incremento, desvelándose el valor de la información que proporcionan: económica, cultural, botánica y ecológica. Presentamos en este artículo la metodología aplicada para el análisis carpológico de un conjunto de muestras procedentes de un nivel fechado en el Magdaleniense medio de la Cova de les Cendres (Teulada-Moraira, Alicante).
Digital Teaching Competence Evaluation of Pre-Service Teachers in Spain: A Review Study
2021
Digital teaching competence is one of the main teacher training needs today. However, teacher training curricula show a significant gap in this area. The objective of this study is to carry out a systematic review of scientific articles published between 2011 and 2020 that analyze the digital teaching competence of pre-service teachers who are mainly studying in Spanish universities. The reviewed studies show that there is great heterogeneity in the theoretical frameworks and instruments employed. Pre-service teachers point out that they have certain digital skills, but they lack pedagogical skills to digitally enrich the teaching-learning processes. These aspects present challenges in rese…
El European Reference Index for the Humanities (ERIH) como criterio de calidad de las revistas académicas: análisis de la lista revisada de educación
2013
The European Reference Index for the Humanities (ERIH) has been proposed (and officially recognized in our country) as a European alternative to the dominant indices that have a known Anglo-Saxon bias. The aim is to raise the visibility of European research in the Humanities and in various areas of the Social Sciences, in order to improve coverage of the cultural and linguistic diversity of our continent. We analyze some of the circumstances affecting the results of the recently updated list of ERIH (´revised´), with special emphasis on the field of education. The results demonstrate the need to improve the criteria for entry into the index (completeness and quality) if ERIH is to achieve i…
The Key Role of Human Resource Practices for the Promotion of Creativity and Innovation: A Spanish Case Study
2013
Management literature suggests that employee creativity can contribute substantially to organisational innovation, effectiveness and survival. In addition, the ability to innovate has also emerged as a basic strategic option. Innovation models express the need to implement specific human resource practices (HRP) for the development of skills, knowledge and innovation-oriented behaviours. Human resource practices can be extremely important when organisations intend to foster creativity and innovation which are key factors in competing effectively. With this aim in mind, we suggest that the existence of certain HRP such as training, performance appraisal and reward systems have a positive eff…
The Importance of the Romanian Library of Freiburg for the Romanian Exile in the Context of the Beginning of the Communism and the Sovietisation of t…
2018
One can notice a growing interest regarding the discovery and the highlighting of the forms of cultural resistance in the 1950-1989 period, especially the highlighting of the importance and significations of the post-war Romanian exile, in the communist period, based on the conservation and development of the interior existence together with keeping the modernist reaction regarding the autonomy of the aesthetics to its political insubordination. The Romanian Library of Freiburg constitutes an essential starting point in highlighting the types of cultural resistance of the exile. The Romanian cultural exile begun at the start of the 50s in Romania, when the persecutions of the intellectual e…
Moscato Cerletti, a rediscovered aromatic cultivar with oenological potential in warm and dry areas
2021
Baron Antonio Mendola was devoted to the study of grapevine, applying ampelography and dabbling in crosses between cultivars in order to select new ones, of which Moscato Cerletti, obtained in 1869, was the most interesting. Grillo, one of the most important white cultivars in Sicily, was ascertained to be an offspring of Catarratto Comune and Zibibbo, the same parents which Mendola claimed he used to obtain Moscato Cerletti. Thus the hypothesis of synonymy between Moscato Cerletti and Grillo or the same parentage for both sets of parents needs to be verified.In the present study, historical documents were consulted and genetic analyses and ampelographic, agronomic and qualitative character…
Comparison between energy balance and mass balance models for actual evapotranspiration assessment
2009
The assessment of the water needs for a specific crop has a fundamental importance in the management of water resources. The application of empirical models able to retrieve estimates of the actual evapotranspiration (ETa) to assess the need for water could give a valid tool for the planning of water supply, avoiding unnecessary water losses. In this context, two independent models for estimating actual evapotranspiration were compared. The first model is based on an energy balance and uses remotely sensed data and ancillary data from weather stations to assess the ETa. The second model also uses remotely sensed data and climatic data on a daily basis from a weather network. Field measureme…
