A commentary on the Special Issue “Innovations in measuring and fostering mathematical modelling competencies”
2021
This is a commentary on the ESM 2021 Special Issue on Innovations in Measuring and Fostering Mathematical Modelling Competencies. We have grouped the ten studies into three themes: competencies, fostering, and measuring. The first theme and the papers therein provide a platform to discuss the cognitivist backgrounds to the different conceptualizations of mathematical modelling competencies, based on the modelling cycle. We suggest theoretical widening through a competence continuum and enriching of the modelling cycle with overarching, analytic dimensions for creativity, tool use, metacognition, and so forth. The second theme and the papers therein showcase innovative ideas on fostering an…
New media and perennial problems in foreign language learning and teaching
2015
The book concerns the ways in which the new media shape communication along with educational expectations and practices in foreign language classrooms. Although foreign language learners have cheap and easy access to information and ways of communication, they also wrestle with problems that have always accompanied language learning. The focus of the book is two-fold. On the one hand, the authors demonstrate how using social networks, videoconferencing, mobile phones, wikis, and computer-mediated interaction contributes to the development of language skills, negotiated interaction, autonomy, and intercultural competence. On the other, they discuss “old” issues pertaining to the role of voca…

2017
[ES]: El objetivo del presente trabajo es estudiar la relación entre los miembros del comité editorial que publican artículos en revistas de las que forman parte y la propia revista. Los resultados apuntan que los miembros del comité editorial publican sus artículos de forma más rápida frente a los autores que no forman parte del comité, y que no existe colaboración entre los miembros con mayor presencia en diferentes comités, sí habiéndola entre miembros de una misma revista. En 6 de las 10 revistas estudiadas el porcentaje de artículos firmados por algún miembro del comité supera el 25%, y en tres de estas revistas el tiempo de publicación de estos artículos es significativamente inferior…
BUSINESS CAPABILITIES AND HR KNOWLEDGE’ AS THE CRITICAL FACTOR OF DUE DILIGENCE IN PRE-ACQUISITION PHASE
2016
Previous theoretical research has argued that due diligence in the pre-acquisition phase is traditionally oriented towards legal and financial matters. However, in the innovation-driven market environment, where firms need to maintain competitive strength, business skills and knowledge play important roles. Despite this difference, the due diligence research continues in traditional areas, e.g., financial history, legal and commercial liabilities, and tax issues. Hence, the problem may arise in acquirers overpaying or mistakenly rejecting a target firm. There is a need for assessing ‘Business Capabilities and Human Resources Knowledge’ for due diligence in the pre-acquisition phase. Based o…
Blending Literature and Foreign Language Learning: Current Approaches
2013
The aim of this chapter is to discuss the place of literature in foreign language learning and teaching contexts, and to show reasons of using literary texts for the development of communicative competence, intercultural communicative competence, and for individual as well as social human growth. Although literature and language teaching had been following separate paths, currently a strong tendency emerges of integrating language and literature teaching across proficiency levels. This tendency results from the recognition of the roles that literacy, multiliteracies and multimodality play in the life of humans in the 21st century. Respected bodies such as the Council of Europe or Modern Lan…
Znawca języka czy człowiek komunikujący się? O strukturze kompetencji językowo-komunikacyjnej ucznia klas IV–VI szkoły podstawowej wpisanej w podstaw…
2019
The article aims to answer two questions: how the language instruction framework was inscribed into the 2017/2018 Polish language curriculum and what image of the linguistic and communicative competence results from this document. The research method is based on the assumption that these two questions can be answered by analysing the cognitive operators used in the description of specific requirements. The article analyses the operators found in the ‘language instruction’ section of the curriculum. Within the linguistic and communicative competence, the document distinguishes among metalinguistic, analytical, linguistic (including normative and grammar-lexical competences) and communicative…
Educación XX1 : revista de la Facultad de Educación
2018
La siguiente investigación pretende analizar en qué medida los recursos educativos, en este caso los libros de texto, contribuyen a la alfabetización visual del alumnado de Educación Primaria en Ciencias Sociales. Este tipo de alfabetización es un aspecto fundamental en cualquier etapa educativa tal y como ha venido confirmando la investigación hasta fechas muy recientes. Para ello se han seleccionado los manuales más utilizados en un determinado espacio geográfico desde 2006 y se han analizado siguiendo un método de investigación que combina procedimientos cuantitativos (ex post-facto) y cualitativos (análisis mediante categorías conceptuales) aplicándolos sobre las actividades relacionada…
Goals are Not Enough: Building Public Sector Capacity for Chronic Disease Prevention
2013
The rising burden of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) challenges the public health sector to develop, support and implement effective interventions to reduce this global epidemic. The United Nations has responded with a global action plan that includes goals and voluntary targets for the prevention and control of NCDs. However, setting goals is not enough. To achieve meaningful outcomes, governments must act and invest to improve key enabling capacities. Political and other public sector leadership at every jurisdictional level is needed to implement health-in-all-policies initiatives and to measure progress against set objectives, while technological and human resources for health should b…
Linguistic Landscape Signs in E-textbooks: Teaching Language as a Compass for Exploring Multimodal Texts, Multilingualism, and Digital Resources.
2021
Rapid technological development and the growth of educators’ and students’ digital skills have allowed e-textbooks to take root in different school subjects’ pedagogical practices. This article’s aim is to compare two e-textbooks – A Guide for Exploring City Texts (Berra (Burr), 2020) and Linguistic Landscapes in English Language Teaching: A Pedagogical Guidebook (Solmaz & Przymus, 2021) – in terms of their technological and pedagogical frameworks and to discuss the benefits and disadvantages of using a language e-textbook which heavily utilizes linguistic landscape signs. The comparison shows that the e-textbooks’ main technological advantages are hyperlinking, bookmarking, highlightin…
The media competence as a challenge for educommunication : tools of evaluation
2014
RESUMEN: Para mejorar el aprendizaje, los avances tecnológicos ponen a disposición de los agentes educativos recursos emergentes, los cuales requieren del desarrollo de competencias o destrezas básicas por parte de los estudiantes y suponen un reto para toda la comunidad educativa. En este contexto, la competencia mediática se convierte en la clave para fomentar un uso responsable, eficiente y democrático de los recursos mediáticos por parte de los ciudadanos. Se presentan aquí los resultados de un proyecto de investigación realizado en España, en el que se han diseñado diversos instrumentos de evaluación de la competencia mediática de estudiantes, profesorado, así como de padres y madres. …
