Round or rectangular tables for collaborative problem solving? A multimodal learning analytics study     

Milica Vujovic  Davinia Hernández-Leo  Simone Tassani  Daniel Spikol 《British journal of educational technology : journal of the Council for Educational Technology》2020,51(5):1597-1614

The current knowledge of the effects of the physical environment on learners’ behaviour in collaborative problem-solving tasks is underexplored. This paper aims to critically examine the potential of multimodal learning analytics, using new data sets, in studying how the shapes of shared tables affect the learners’ behaviour when collaborating in terms of patterns of participation and indicators related to physical social interactions. The research presented in this paper investigates this question considering the potential interplay with contextual aspects (level of education) and learning design decisions (group size). Three dependent variables (distance between students, range of movement and level of participation) are tested using quantitative and qualitative analyses of data collected using a motion capture system and video recordings. Results show that the use of round tables (vs rectangular tables) leads to higher levels of on-task participation in the case of elementary school students. For university students, different table shapes seem to have a limited impact on their levels of participation in collaborative problem solving. The analysis shows significant differences regarding the relationship between group size and the distance between students, but there is no substantial evidence that group size affects the level of participation. The findings support previous research highlighting the importance of studying the role of the physical environment as an element of learning design and the potential of multimodal learning analytics in approaching these studies.  相似文献   

Putting the “I” back in team     

Simone L. Yearwood 《Journal Of Access Services》2017,14(3):146-152

In the summer of 2013, staff in the Access Services unit of an academic library began a cross-training and collaboration project in an effort to provide continued library service to the campus community. The cross-training was established in an attempt to address a shortage of staff as a result of budget cuts. The cross-training resulted in the transitioning of the Access Services units and the creation of a collaborative team. The development of cross-training and its benefits are addressed in addition to lessons learned.  相似文献   

The crisis of consent: how stronger legal protection may lead to weaker consent in data protection     

Bart W. Schermer  Bart Custers  Simone van der Hof 《Ethics and Information Technology》2014,16(2):171-182

In this article we examine the effectiveness of consent in data protection legislation. We argue that the current legal framework for consent, which has its basis in the idea of autonomous authorisation, does not work in practice. In practice the legal requirements for consent lead to ‘consent desensitisation’, undermining privacy protection and trust in data processing. In particular we argue that stricter legal requirements for giving and obtaining consent (explicit consent) as proposed in the European Data protection regulation will further weaken the effectiveness of the consent mechanism. Building on Miller and Wertheimer’s ‘Fair Transaction’ model of consent we will examine alternatives to explicit consent.  相似文献   

Complements or substitutes? The role of universities and local context in supporting the creation of academic spin-offs     

Riccardo Fini  Rosa Grimaldi  Simone Santoni  Maurizio Sobrero 《Research Policy》2011,40(8):1113-1127

In this paper, we analyze the extent to which University-Level Support Mechanisms (ULSMs) and Local-Context Support Mechanisms (LCSMs) complement or substitute for each other in fostering the creation of academic spin-offs. Using a sample of 404 companies spun off from the 64 Italian Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics universities (STEM universities) over the 2000–2007 period, we show that the ULSMs’ marginal effect on universities’ spin-off productivity may be positive or negative depending on the contribution offered by different LCSMs. Specifically, in any given region, ULSMs complement the legislative support offered to high-tech entrepreneurship whereas they have a substitution effect with regard to the amount of regional social capital, regional financial development, the presence of a regional business incubator, regional public R&D expenses as well as the level of innovative performance in the region. Results support the idea that regional settings’ idiosyncrasies should be considered for universities to develop effective spin-off support policies. This paper contributes to the debate on the evaluation of economic policies supporting entrepreneurship.  相似文献   

On Bullshit     

Simone Symonette  James A. Pershing 《Performance Improvement》2015,54(9):45-47

A number of leading academicians and practicing professionals in the fields of instructional and human performance technology (HPT) have observed over recent years a disturbing pattern of ideas and propositions being advocated by academics and practitioners alike that do not always ring true. At best some of these propositions are misleading, and at worst they are disingenuous. In some cases these propositions are deemed nonsense. In trying to understand this perpetuation of nonsense in instructional and performance technologies, we have found and use for reference a small book by Harry G. Frankfurt titled On Bullshit. This 2005 publication traces the meanings of BS and argues that it is a form of falsehood that is different than lying. Frankfurt disdains nonsense talk and relates it to the now popular concept of a bull session. We hope that you, like us, find Frankfurt's treatise on BS useful in understanding and differentiating between sense and nonsense in the fields of instructional and performance technologies. On Bullshit (2005; 67 pages; ISBN 10:0691122946; hardback $9.95) is published by Princeton University Press.  相似文献   

Process-oriented instruction: A discussion     

Simone Volet 《European Journal of Psychology of Education - EJPE》1995,10(4):449-459

Research on process-oriented instruction has been thriving in Europe for a number of years. This Special Issue provides the opportunity to bring together a number of research studies investigating the educational potential of this form of instruction in a wide range of domains of instruction (reading comprehension, physics, computer programming and psychology) and educational settings (secondary school and university). This final paper reflects on the common conceptual threads that link these diverse studies together¹. A number of conceptual, methodological and practical issues emerging out of the research are reviewed.  相似文献
