Factors influencing the presence of sustainability initiatives in the strategic planning of Spanish universities     

Manuel Larrán Jorge  Jesús Herrera Madueño 《Environmental Education Research》2015,21(8):1155-1187

Sustainability issues in higher educational institutions have attracted increasing levels of attention from both the public and policy-makers in recent decades. Many studies have called for a more integration of sustainability into mainstream university operations and curricula. Nevertheless, the interest in sustainability issues has been more recent in the specific case of Spain. On this basis, the aim of this paper is to examine the main factors (size of universities, chairs related to sustainability, political orientation and sustainability disclosure) that might explain the presence of sustainability initiatives in Spanish universities. To accomplish this task, data were collected using a systematic content analysis of the published strategic plans of Spanish universities during the last decade. Two main findings were identified: first, the four variables chosen were not related to the presence or absence of sustainability initiatives in the strategic plans of Spanish universities, excepting the partial influence exerted by the size and political orientation. Second, there was a scarce presence of sustainability initiatives in the strategic plans of Spanish universities analysed.  相似文献

Emergent writing forms in Spanish     

Ana María Borzone de Manrique  Angela Signorini 《Reading and writing》1998,10(6):499-517

The purpose of this work was to study the variationsin children's early writing forms in Spanish and therelationship among different writing forms,phonological awareness and the demands of the writingtasks. A group of kindergarten children was assessedin: a) the ability to match initial sounds in words,b) the ability to segment words in phonemes, c) theknowledge of sound-letter correspondences, and d) theperformance on tasks presenting different cognitivedemands: word writing and text writing. Results showthat children produced a wide range of forms in bothtasks, being the forms used for word writing moreelaborated than the forms used for text writing. Theseresults suggest that in the process of writingacquisition, children move back and forth across formsof writing. The analysis of the relationship betweenthe writing forms and phonological awareness resultedin the identification of the different mechanismschildren might be using to write, from an unanalyticapproach to print to an analytic phonologicalmechanism. The pattern of variation observed in thechildren's performance when writing words and textsseems to reflect the interplay among different typesand levels of knowledge- knowledge about print, thephonological structure of words, sound-lettercorrespondences- and the cognitive demands of thetasks.  相似文献   

Examining a Spanish nonfiction collection in a public library     

Michelle Boul 《Library Collections, Acquisitions, and Technical Services》2005,29(4):403

Many areas of the country have seen large growth in their Spanish speaking community. Libraries and other public agencies have redesigned their practices to better serve the needs of these new segments of the population. The urban area chosen for this study has experienced one of the fastest growing Spanish speaking populations in the country in the last 10 years. In this study, a needs assessment was created for the Spanish speaking population served by a branch library in a large, urban area. The needs assessment was created with the use of demographic data and an analysis of current library literature. Using the assessment, the current Spanish nonfiction collection of the library was evaluated for both size and content and then compared to the size and content of the English nonfiction collection. This assessment technique is useful to libraries wishing to conduct a needs analysis on a specific group in their population served.  相似文献   

American,Hispanic, Spanish-Speaking? Hispanic Immigrants and the Question of Identity     

Laura Guglani 《Journal of Language, Identity & Education》2016,15(6):344-360

This article explores Hispanics’ concepts of cultural and linguistic identity. It is based on the findings of a recent study conducted by the author in Iglesia hispana de Cristo,¹ a Hispanic church community in Western New York. Data come from ethnographic interviews conducted with 48 participants aged 13 to 80 years and with church leaders and from participant observation. Findings indicate that conceptions of identity vary according to age and generation of immigration. Older, first-generation immigrants view language and culture as inextricably linked, and believe that passing on the Spanish language to their children is an essential parenting responsibility. Younger, U.S.-born Hispanics and those who immigrated at a young age, on the other hand, tend to prioritize Hispanic culture over the Spanish language.  相似文献   

论克列奥尔白人上层在西班牙美洲独立运动中的政治心态     

王明前 《昆明师范高等专科学校学报》2005,27(3):48-51

克列奥尔白人上层领导集团在西班牙美洲独立运动中的政治心态矛盾而复杂。这一集团参与并领导独立运动的动机是对抗波旁王朝的“非美洲化”改革。在整个运动过程中，他们经历了一个由积极参与自治到被迫卷入独立运动的过程，表现出狭隘的政治动机。在独立后，这一心态助长了考迪罗主义的泛滥。  相似文献   

论西班牙波旁王朝的"非美洲化"改革与拉丁美洲独立运动     

王明前 《咸阳师范学院学报》2005,20(5):33-36

西班牙波旁王朝在拉丁美洲推行“非美洲化”的改革,在政治领域逐步剥夺了由克列奥尔精英控制的美洲地方行政权利,在经济领域逐步在全帝国体系内建立“自由贸易体系,”同时还推行更加宽容的种族政策。克列奥尔精英一方面嫉恨宗主国当局逐步削弱他们的政治特权和变相掠夺他们的经济收益,另一方面又担心下层民众反抗西班牙专制统治的斗争会波及到他们现存的社会地位。当斐迪南七世的镇压使克列奥尔上层的自治迷梦破灭后,他们最终走上了独立的道路。  相似文献   

Political pornification gone global: Teresa Rodríguez as fungible object in the 2015 Spanish regional elections     

Ignacio Moreno Segarra 《Quarterly Journal of Speech》2019,105(2):204-228

In this article, the authors examine the political pornification of Spanish politician Teresa Rodríguez and assess the rhetorical strategies she and her supporters used to respond to the controversy. The authors theorize a “fungibility frame” within which women candidates and citizens are treated as interchangeable, violable, and devalued. Rodríguez and her supporters resisted this frame, asserting women's individuality, agency, and inherent value. This case underscores the ways in which political pornification impacts not just candidates and public figures, but also private citizens. When pornified, women are presented not as individuals with political agency but as objects which may be manipulated for political and commercial gain. Additionally, this analysis reveals the ways in which the conditions that produce political pornification may be endemic to democratic culture.  相似文献

Reading development and dyslexia in a transparent orthography: a survey of Spanish children     

Davies R  Cuetos F  Glez-Seijas RM 《Annals of dyslexia》2007,57(2):179-198

Spanish-speaking children learn to read words printed in a relatively transparent orthography. Variation in orthographic transparency may shape the architecture of the reading system and also the manifestation of reading difficulties. We tested normally developing children and children diagnosed with reading difficulties. Reading accuracy was high across experimental conditions. However, dyslexic children read more slowly than chronological age (CA)-matched controls, although, importantly, their reading times did not differ from those for ability-matched controls. Reading times were significantly affected by frequency, orthographic neighbourhood size and word length. We also found a number of significant interaction effects. The effect of length was significantly modulated by reading ability, frequency and neighbourhood. Our findings suggest that the reading development of dyslexic children in Spanish is delayed rather than deviant. From an early age, the salient characteristic of reading development is reading speed, and the latter is influenced by specific knowledge about words.  相似文献
