La thématisation de l’hôtel New York de Disneyland Paris à l’épreuve de la satisfaction de la clientèle
2016
Les hébergements touristiques ont connu une profonde mutation avec notamment une orientation par la production de contextes expérientiels qui soit constituent l’offre proprement dite, soit servent à mieux positionner cette offre vis-à-vis de la concurrence. L’objet de cette recherche est donc de mesurer l’influence des services (fonctionnels versus expérientiels) offerts par un hôtel haut de gamme thématisé et situé dans un parc d’attractions sur la satisfaction de la clientèle. Pour ce faire, nous avons utilisé le modèle tétraclasse de Sylvie Llosa auprès d’un échantillon de 9053 clients résidant à l’hôtel New York (4 étoiles) de Disneyland Paris. Les résultats montrent que la chambre appa…
Measuring the perceived value of rural tourism: a field survey in the western Sicilian agritourism sector
2016
Rural tourism constitutes a valuable tool for the sustainable development of many rural areas. This paper examines the concept of perceived value in rural tourism. A quantitative field survey was carried out in some main Western Sicilian holiday farms (agritourisms) during the Spring 2014. A theoretical model of the tourists’ perceived value in this specific context was developed and validated, using a 22-item scale. Using Partial Least Squares Path Modelling a theoretical structural model of the multidimensional structure of the RTPV was tested, assessing intensity and direction of the causal relationships among RTPV and its dimensions. Five dimensions were identified as forming the constr…
Image classification based on 2D feature motifs
2013
The classification of raw data often involves the problem of selecting the appropriate set of features to represent the input data. In general, various features can be extracted from the input dataset, but only some of them are actually relevant for the classification process. Since relevant features are often unknown in real-world problems, many candidate features are usually introduced. This degrades both the speed and the predictive accuracy of the classifier due to the presence of redundancy in the candidate feature set. In this paper, we study the capability of a special class of motifs previously introduced in the literature, i.e. 2D irredundant motifs, when they are exploited as feat…
Teachers’ pedagogical and relational identity negotiation in the Finnish CLIL context
2017
Abstract This study explores the professional identity of Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) teachers in Finnish primary education. It aims at explaining how CLIL teachers negotiate their pedagogical and relational identity, and how identity agency is exercised in negotiating a more encompassing professional identity. Thematic analysis of thirteen interviews outlines the bi-directional process of identity negotiation between personal and professional resources, and social contexts at work. The results highlight a connection between professional identity and agency, and suggest that identity negotiation is a process of working and sharing with others, but also individually.

Learning games and children's user experience : the effects of context
2015
Tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli tutkia, onko lasten käyttäjäkokemuksissa eroja heidän pelatessa digitaalista peliä kahdessa eri kontekstissa. Käyttäjäkokemuk-sia selvitettiin myös tarkastelemalla pelaajien flow kokemuksia. Tutkimuksessa käytettiin MinecraftEdu peliä, joka on TeacherGaming LLC yrityksen tekemä vi-rallinen opetusversio Minecraft pelistä. Pelaamisen kontekstit, jossa peliä pelat-tiin, olivat kouluaika ja vapaa-aika. Erilaisista konteksteista johtuen sekä ulkoiset tekijät että myös sisäiset tekijät kuten, päämäärät, tavoitteet, ja motivaatio vaihtelevat. Tutkimuksessa käytetyt metodit koostuivat ääneen ajattelun, obser-voinnin ja kyselyjen yhdistelmistä. Kontekstilla näytti oleva…
Immersive gaming as journalism
2021
This chapter discusses immersion and how it may be applied to journalism. It begins by unraveling the concept of immersion itself as a reminder that it is not only connected to virtual reality or augmented reality technologies, but rather that it is a multifaceted concept that may be understood in many ways. The chapter turns specifically to the theorizing done in the context of digital games research, where immersion and some related concepts have been explored in detail over the last decades. This theorizing helps us see how immersion can be understood and in what way the concept may be problematic. The chapter maps out some of the historical precedents for immersion, discusses alternativ…
The balancing act of teaching : a comparison between EFL teachers' views and a textbook analysis of the role of perceptual learning styles in Finnish…
2012
Suomessa vieraan kielen opiskelu aloitetaan tavallisimmin kolmannella luokalla, ja suurimmalle osalle oppilaista tämä kieli on englanti. Tällöin oppilas alkaa rakentaa kuvaa sekä englannin kielestä että itsestään englannin kielen opiskelijana. Onnistumisen kokemukset ovat tässä vaiheessa tärkeitä, ja yksi tapa niiden mahdollistamiseen on oppilaan oppimistyyliä vastaava opetus. Kolmannen luokan englannin oppitunneille osallistuu kuitenkin heterogeeninen ryhmä erilaisia oppijoita, minkä vuoksi on käytettävä vaihtelevia opetusmenetelmiä. Tässä tutkimuksessa keskityttiin seuraaviin oppimistyyleihin: visuaalinen, auditiivinen, kinesteettinen, taktiilinen sekä ryhmässä ja yksin oppiminen. Näistä …
Perfiles docentes en diversos contextos: personalidad, autoconcepto y compromiso educativo
2014
Las personas nos desarrollamos en medio de contextos complejos y multidimensionales, lo que somos es producto de nuestras propias características personales y de las influencias del entorno en el que interactuamos. Es desde el Perú, como país diverso y con culturas milenarias, que planteamos esta investigación que puede ser ubicada en el marco de las ciencias sociales y de la educación. La complejidad de los procesos personales y socioeducativos peruanos nos hizo tomar la ruta de la psicología del desarrollo humano y de la educación para analizar el desarrollo personal de los docentes en diversos contextos. La relevancia del maestro, su protagonismo en el diseño de un itinerario educativo q…
Digital resources in the current journalistic narrative: Uses and limitations of hypertext, multimedia and interactivity
2020
Characterised by its multilingual and multiformat features, the multimedia journalism narrative is shaping a new ‘archaeology of composition’ (Manovich, 2005), also called the ‘new textuality’ (Anichini, 2003). As digital media celebrates its 25th anniversary (Salaverría, 2019), this research aims to examine the current state of the multimedia narrative in journalism. The defining elements of this narrative in the generalist information media have been analysed through the observation of hypertextual, multimedia and interactive resources. The methodology used is content analysis, allowing for both the systemization and description of the predominant parameters through the comparative study …
