Internationalisation and standardisation of European Environmental Assessment. Relevance to India     

Paola Gazzola  Urmila Jha‐Thakur 《Environmental Education Research》2009,15(6):625-641

This paper discusses the rationale underlying ‘PENTA’, an EU funded Erasmus Mundus project. In doing so, it explores the challenges of internationalising and standardising European environmental assessment (EA) practice and education to a third country audience, looking at India as a case study. It is argued that the EU EA Directives are influencing the development of EA systems internationally, leading to a standardisation of the way in which EA is practiced. The so‐called Bologna process is especially playing a crucial role in leading to the standardisation of European higher education and the EU's marketing initiatives are generating effects of internationalisation. Within this context, it is argued that an internationalised and standardised approach to EA education could improve the effectiveness of EA practice in both the developing and developed nations, and ultimately help address the environmental challenges that the world is facing today. However, harmonisation and standardisation challenges must be taken into account at an international and national level, as an internationalised EA curriculum such as that proposed by PENTA must nevertheless be relevant to different policy planning and cultural contexts.  相似文献   

Do Italian dyslexic children use the lexical reading route efficiently? An orthographic judgment task     

Chiara Valeria Marinelli  Paola Angelelli  Alessandra Notarnicola  Claudio Luzzatti 《Reading and writing》2009,22(3):333-351

The study uses an orthographic judgment task to evaluate the efficiency of the lexical reading route in Italian dyslexic children. It has been suggested that Italian dyslexic children rely prevalently on the sub-word-level routine for reading. However, it is not easy to test the lexical reading route in Italian directly because of the lack of critical items (irregular words), so visual lexical decision tasks and the comprehension/detection of pseudo-homophones are often used. While the former may also be solved on the basis of visual familiarity or phonological re-codification, the latter also involves conceptual and syntactic skills. Eleven dyslexic children participated in the study, performing an orthographic judgment task on stimuli with two phonologically plausible spellings, of which only one was orthographically correct. Their performance was compared with those of 11 proficient readers. The dyslexic children showed selective impairment in detecting phonologically plausible errors, but their performance was normal when required to judge errors inserted in words with regular orthography, i.e., devoid of orthographic ambiguity, and for which a sub-word-level reading procedure is sufficient to guarantee a good performance. Overall, data are coherent with a diagnosis of surface dyslexia, with most children showing defective orthographic lexical processing.

Comparing determinants of perceived and actual recycling skills: The role of motivational,behavioral and dispositional factors     

Paola Passafaro  Stefano Livi 《The Journal of environmental education》2017,48(5):347-356

An empirical investigation assessed the role of different factors of motivational, behavioral, and dispositional nature in the prediction of both perceived and actual skills concerning household waste recycling. A structured questionnaire (measuring attitudes, social norms, perceived control, need for cognitive closure, self-reported household recycling behavior and perceived recycling skills) and a simulation task (assessing actual recycling skills) were administered to 300 participants in Italy. Results indicate that, although positively related, perceived and actual skills are two distinct constructs differently related to motivational, behavioral, and dispositional factors. Implications for designing educational interventions to increase citizens' recycling skills are discussed.  相似文献   

Teleconferencing tools in enterprises—constraints and opportunities     

Paola Forcheri  Maria Teresa Molfino  & Alfonso Quarati 《British journal of educational technology : journal of the Council for Educational Technology》2000,31(2):127-134

This paper presents an experimental approach for devising training measures to help small and medium enterprises (SMEs) avail themselves of the new opportunities offered by teleconferencing tools.
The approach includes 1) an analysis of training needs, carried out by means of interviews, so as to propose methodologies and tools that will encourage SMEs to create the conditions under which they can make the most of the opportunities that tele-cooperation offers for raising productivity; and 2) a controlled experiment that seeks to analyse the conditions under which the experimental use of teleconferencing systems may become a valuable vehicle for helping SMEs to construct active awareness about the potential of these tools.  相似文献   

Knowledge based systems for teaching and learning maths     

Paola Foreheri  Maria Teresa Molfino 《British journal of educational technology : journal of the Council for Educational Technology》1995,26(1):42-54

The main task of an educational system is to generate instructional situations which induce students to learn knowledge and problem solving abilities as applied to a cognitive domain.
To this end, an instructional dialogue must be seen as a process aimed at making student and teacher learn from each other: the student has to learn the subject matter from the teacher, while the teacher has in turn to learn from the student how to regulate instructional interaction. The process relies on different kinds of expert knowledge: experience of the domain, about the actual student, and of teaching methods and objectives. This means that an instructional dialogue cannot be realised without an explicit representation of all the kinds of knowledge involved.
Research has established that Knowledge Based Educational Systems (KBESs) can be the keystone in building effective learning tools, but because of the difficulty in realising a system of this kind, most existing systems are prototypes and are intended only as workbenches for the computational analysis of educational processes.
This paper analyses the main problems which underlie the realisation of such systems, with reference to research into knowledge based systems intended for use with teaching/learning mathematics.  相似文献   

Le conte Africain: L'univers de l'oralite dans le systeme de l'enseignement     

Paola Belpassi 《International Review of Education/Internationale Zeitschrift für Erziehungswissenschaft/Revue internationale l'éducation》1994,40(3-5):257-270

Résumé Dans les interprétations les plus courantes, les contes de la tradition orale africaine constituent une riche source de thèmes qui se prêtent à l'éducation morale. Les contes axés sur les rapports entre frère et soeur, par exemple, développent le thème de l'équilibre que chaque individu doit établir entre les relations consanguines et les relations d'alliance. L'auteur explore d'autres clés de lecture et suggère comment ces textes peuvent être mis à profit dans le cadre d'un programme pédagogique multicultural, en raison de leur richesse aux niveaux linguistique, narratif et thématique.

---

According to current interpretations, the stories preserved in the African oral tradition constitute a rich source of themes for the purposes of moral education. The stories focusing on the relationship between brother and sister, for example, develop the theme of how each individual must find a balance between consanguineous and marital relationships. The author also explores other keys to the interpretation of these stories and argues that they could profitably be used within the framework of a multicultural educational programme, on account of their linguistic, narrative and thematic richness.

---

Zusammenfassung In den gängigsten Interpretationen bilden die Geschichten der afrikanischen oralen Tradition eine reiche Quelle an Themen für eine moralische Bildung. Die auf den Beziehungen zwischen Bruder und Schwester basierenden Geschichten zum Beispiel, entwickeln das Thema der Ausgewogenheit, die jedes Individuum innerhalb seiner eigenen Familie und seiner angeheirateten Familie erreichen muß. Die Autorin untersucht weitere Schlüsselfaktoren zum Verständnis dieser Geschichten und führt aus, daß solche Geschichten aufgrund ihres linguistischen, erzählerischen und thematischen Reichtums nutzbringend im Rahmen multikultureller Bildungsprogramme angewandt werden können.

Multi-segment trunk models used to investigate the crunch factor in golf and their relationship with selected swing and launch parameters     

Christopher Joyce  Paola Chivers  Kimitake Sato  Angus Burnett 《Journal of sports sciences》2016,34(20):1970-1975

The use of multi-segment trunk models to investigate the crunch factor in golf may be warranted. The first aim of the study was to investigate the relationship between the trunk and lower trunk for crunch factor-related variables (trunk lateral bending and trunk axial rotation velocity). The second aim was to determine the level of association between crunch factor-related variables with swing (clubhead velocity) and launch (launch angle). Thirty-five high-level amateur male golfers (Mean ± SD: age = 23.8 ± 2.1 years, registered golfing handicap = 5 ± 1.9) without low back pain had kinematic data collected from their golf swing using a 10-camera motion analysis system operating at 500 Hz. Clubhead velocity and launch angle were collected using a validated real-time launch monitor. A positive relationship was found between the trunk and lower trunk for axial rotation velocity (r(35) = .47, P < .01). Cross-correlation analysis revealed a strong coupling relationship for the crunch factor (R² = 0.98) between the trunk and lower trunk. Using generalised linear model analysis, it was evident that faster clubhead velocities and lower launch angles of the golf ball were related to reduced lateral bending of the lower trunk.  相似文献

Using the value creation framework to capture knowledge co-creation and pathways to impact in a transnational community of practice in autism education     

Karen Guldberg  Alexia Achtypi  Luigi D’Alonzo  Katerina Laskaridou  Damian Milton  Paola Molteni 《International Journal of Research & Method in Education》2021,44(1):96-111

ABSTRACT

Although theories around Communities of Practice have gained significant ground in recent years and have become an important focus for organizational development, there is a gap in studies that investigate what members gain from participation in these communities. This paper explains how the value creation framework was implemented in a transnational research and development project in autism education by examining cycles of value creation and drawing on two types of data identified by Wenger and colleagues. The value creation framework is a theoretically driven framework to assess social learning in communities. Participants involved in the learning space were co-researchers engaged in a process of investigating, sharing and reflecting on their practice. The paper discusses the methodological challenges and strengths of using the value creation framework, with a particular focus on how insights and interactions led to subsequent changes in the practice of the participants. This work has the potential to make an important contribution to methods and analysis in assessing social learning and pathways to impact in participatory research and development projects more broadly.  相似文献
