Privātskološana un vecāku satraukums par izglītību Ķīnas "dubultās samazināšanas" politikas kontekstā

2022

Privātskološanas izplatība politikas veidotājiem rada grūtības. Ķīnas “Dubultās samazināšanas” politika paredz samazināt privātskološanu, lai atvieglotu slodzi skolēniem. Šī darba mērķis ir atrast galvenos cēloņus, kāpēc vecākiem ir trauksme par savu bērnu izglītību, meklējot saistību starp privātskološanu un vecāku satraukumu par bērnu izglītību. Pētījums ir balstīts uz literatūras izpēti un anketu, kurā piedalījās 656 vecāki, kuru bērni ir 1. līdz 12. klases skolēni Ķīnā. Rezultāti liecina, ka vecākiem jau bija raksturīga konkurences psiholoģija, un vecāku trauksme par bērnu izglītību vairāk veicina privātskološanas uzplaukumu, nevis privātskološana rada vecāku trauksmi par bērnu izglītīb…

Audit Regulation, Auditor Industry Expertise and Effects on Audit Pricing

2018

The diversity of regulations that govern statutory audit in European countries provides the opportunity to analyse how audit regulation affects audit fees. This study is the first to analyse empirically the joint effect of audit regulation and auditor expertise on audit fees for the institutional setting of 14 European countries by using a sample of 4,293 European firms for the period from 2003 to 2011. I analyse four attributes of audit regulation, namely terms for annual renewal of the mandate, nature of the auditors’ liability, whether the state requires joint audits and whether it imposes restrictions on the provision of non-audit services. The main results show that using an industry s…

A Framework for Small Group Support in Online Collaborative Learning - Combining Collaboration Scripts and Online Tutoring

2017

Many learners experience difficulties engaging in collaborative learning activities online. Computer-supported collaborative learning (CSCL) scripts have been implemented to support online learners. Collaboration scripts have shown much potential in facilitating students’ general collaboration skills. However, reported effects of collaboration scripts on domain-specific knowledge acquisition have been less positive. In this paper, I suggest an alternative framework for supporting CSCL learners by combining collaboration scripting and online tutoring. While collaboration scripts can facilitate the acquisition of general collaboration skills, the online tutor is capable of monitoring and asse…

Emotion Elicitation Oriented to the Development of a Human Emotion Management System for People with Intellectual Disabilities

2010

The integration of people with intellectual disabilities into working and social environments is one of the main issues in applying Information and Communication Technology (ICT) into Assistive Technology field. In order to solve this problem, the use of Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITSs) is a fact among the attendance community. Human Emotion Management System (HEMS) enhances the performance of ITSs. In this work a HEMS is included in a new ITS system (LAGUNTXO) which adds user affective information. People with intellectual disabilities and elderly need physical and intellectual support. This may be achieved by a HEMS which attempts to solve critical situations, like those presented in b…

Tutorial multimedia para guiar la preparación y defensa del Trabajo de Fin de Grado

2013

La preparació i defensa d’un Treball de Fi de Grau constitueix una de les principals novetats derivades del procés de construcció de l’Espai Europeu d’Educació Superior. En aquest treball queden reflectides totes les habilitats adquirides pels estudiants en els anys previs a la finalització del Grau, ja que els estudiants han d’enfrontar-se en el mateix al procés de generació autònoma de coneixement i a les dificultats del treball pràctic. El present estudi recull l’experiència de desenvolupament d’un tutorial multimèdia per a guiar el procés de realització del Treball de Fi de Grau, adaptats als objectius d’aprenentatge i a l’adquisició de competències dels alumnes destinataris. El treball…

Minori Stranieri Non Accompagnati e Tutore Volontario: verso una Pedagogia dell’Accoglienza. L’esperienza del territorio palermitano

2020

Il flusso migratorio dei Minori Stranieri non Accompagnati è un fenomeno globale e soprattutto negli ultimi anni ha evidenziato la necessità di sviluppare e creare dei modelli inclusivi che si basino tanto sull’implementazione di norme regolamentarie quanto sull’intervento civico-sociale. La presa in carica del minore si è concretizzata nella creazione della figura del Tutore Volontario. Attraverso l’analisi dei bisogni del minore e dell’istanza pedagogica del Tutore, si analizza la formazione del Tutore Volontario in relazione all’esperienza realizzata a Palermo dal Garante dell’Infanzia e dell’Adolescenza del Comune di Palermo. The migratory flow of unaccompanied foreign minors is a globa…

Sustaining Canadian marine biodiversity: Policy and statutory progress

2020

A 2012 Expert Panel Report on marine biodiversity by the Royal Society of Canada (RSC) concluded that Canada faced significant challenges in achieving sustainable fisheries, regulating aquaculture, and accounting for climate change. Relative to many countries, progress by Canada in fulfilling international obligations to sustain biodiversity was deemed poor. To track progress by Canada since 2012, the RSC struck a committee to track policy and statutory developments on matters pertaining to marine biodiversity and to identify policy challenges, and leading options for implementation that lie ahead. The report by the Policy Briefing Committee is presented here. It concluded that Canada has …

New behavioural trait adopted or rejected by observing heterospecific tutor fitness

2010

Animals can acquire behaviours from others, including heterospecifics, but should be discriminating in when and whom to copy. Successful individuals should be preferred as tutors, while adopting traits of poorly performing individuals should be actively avoided. Thus far it is unknown if such adaptive strategies are involved when individuals copy other species. Furthermore, rejection of traits based on tutor characteristics (negative bias) has not been shown in any non-human animal. Here we test whether a choice between two new, neutral behavioural alternatives—breeding-sites with alternative geometric symbols—is affected by observing the choice and fitness of a heterospecific tutor. A fiel…

Fundamentals of the design and the operation of an intelligent tutoring system for the learning of the arithmetical and algebraic way of solving word…

2013

Designers of interactive learning environments with a focus on word problem solving usually have to compromise between the amount of resolution paths that a user is allowed to follow and the quality of the feedback provided. We have built an intelligent tutoring system (ITS) that is able to both track the user's actions and provide adequate supervision during the resolution. This is done without imposing any restriction on the resolution paths that are allowed. Instead, the system attempts to enforce metacognitive learning by requiring an appropriate definition of quantities before they are used. The program (a) supports both the arithmetical and algebraic way of solving problems; (b) allow…
