Science, Its Publics and New Media. Reflecting on the Present and Future of Science Communication.
2013
Scientific journalism faces the challenge to adapt not only to new formats but also to new information exchange dynamics. New online platforms, making it easier to access and produce scientific content, are forcing science publics to evolve. The online environment has turned into science communication reality, and both scientists and communicators must adapt to it. This paper discusses these changes and their implications for science journalism and an informed citizenry.
La realidad virtual en la fase precompra del turismo de cruceros: un estudio experimental basado en la variable presencia
2023
En el ámbito del turismo, nuevas tecnologías disruptivas como la Realidad Virtual (RV) están remodelando la experiencia del consumidor (Beck et al., 2019; Flavián et al., 2019). En la fase precompra, la RV se posiciona como una herramienta especialmente útil al proveer al consumidor de una simulación sensorial de la experiencia turística de manera previa al viaje (Tussyadiah et al., 2018). Entre las cualidades distintivas de la RV destaca la alta capacidad para generar la sensación de presencia (Biocca, 1997), definida como un estado psicológico en el que el usuario se siente en el entorno virtual representado (Steuer, 1992). No obstante, la exploración y adaptación de la RV en turismo toda…

Il malinteso tra cultura ed emozioni
2013
The misunderstanding between culture and emotions The aim of this article is the study of the cultural misunderstanding in care relationships, beginning from the analysis of the misunderstanding effects on physician-immigrant patient relations, for example the therapy interruption, the incomprehensibility of symptoms. The western medical model tends to be based on objective data, which can be diagnosed through increasingly precise and detailed techniques, but it excludes the human and cultural aspects from care relationships. This exclusion produces distance, which is increased by both the absence of a cultural homogeneity and the presence of different languages and different body, health a…
I luoghi del malinteso nella cultura e nella cura
2015
This article focuses on cultural misunderstanding in care relations, starting from the analysis of the effects misunderstanding causes in the relation between doctor and migrant patient. The Western medical model tends to be based on objective data, which can be diagnosed through more and more precise and detailed techniques, but it excludes from care relations human and cultural aspects of subjectivity and relation. This exclusion creates distance, which increases when doctor and patient do not share a cultural homogeneity but differ for their language and the way they conceive their body, health, disease. By showing some clinical examples, this contribution points out how specialized comp…

Children's exploration of the concepts of home and belonging: Capturing views from five European countries.
2021
Understanding one's sense of belonging is a central part of identity formation and self-awareness; feeling safe somewhere, with specific people is identified as a basic human need. This paper explores the ideas of children from three age groups in five different European as they discussed the concepts of ‘home’ and ‘belonging’. Findings showed that the children's ideas could be organised into six interrelated aspects: Spatiality, Materiality, Multiplicity, Social Relations, Affect, and Dislocation. Whilst there were differences in the ways that the children conceptualised home across the classes, even the youngest children were able to describe their ideas using metaphors and abstract conce…

Keep Calm in Heated Debates: How People Perceive Different Styles of Discourse in a Scientific Debate
2021
Scientific debates are, in an epistemological sense, argumentative approaches aimed at coming to the most appropriate conclusion. However, as these debates sometimes involve interpersonal rather than content-driven attacks (e.g., an argument between scientific experts might involve personal dislike), the following question arises: How do such communication behaviors affect people’s perception of the argument? In an empirical study, we presented prospective teachers (N = 222) with a newspaper article about two scientific experts controversially discussing the pros and cons of a fictional vocabulary training program. Using a 1 × 2 between-subject design, the article contained either a neutral…
La enseñanza para la comprensión de los juegos deportivos : un estudio de casos en Educación Secundaria
2013
El enfoque de enseñanza denominado Teaching Games for Understanding (TGfU) fue elaborado por Bunker y Thorpe (1982) hace tres décadas. Desde entonces, se ha ido enriqueciendo con diferentes aportaciones teóricas y prácticas hasta llegar a considerarse en la actualidad un modelo curricular de enseñanza de los juegos deportivos en el que se reconoce como propios una serie de objetivos, contenidos y pautas de enseñanza y evaluación (Metzler, 2000). El impacto que provocó desde el primer momento en la enseñanza de la educación física ha estimulado una creciente investigación en torno a su aplicación en el ámbito escolar y deportivo. Tanto es así que se ha situado como una de las temáticas de in…
