Biodiversity for Beginners     

Chris Du Feu 《Teaching Statistics》2006,28(3):66-70

Biodiversity is a difficult concept. It can be introduced to young children successfully, laying the foundations for further study in later years. This article describes one practical activity for 5‐ and 6‐year‐old children.  相似文献

What do families of the ‘professional and managerial’ class educate their children for? The links between happiness and autonomy     

Jordi Collet-Sabé  Antoni Tort 《British Journal of Sociology of Education》2015,36(2):234-249

Based on a qualitative study involving 124 professional and managerial class families in Catalonia (Spain), this paper describes the aims and objectives these families have for the education of their children. During the fieldwork, when asked what they were aiming for in the education of their children, almost all of the parents replied ‘for them to be happy’. But what kind of happiness are they talking about? What kind of education might lead to happiness? Drawing principally on the work of Kellerhals and Montandon and their ‘contractual model of education’ and Bauman’s concepts of ‘secondary security’ and ‘homo eligens’, although also taking into account the related contributions of Lareau, Vincent and Ball, Stefansen and Aarseth, and Kusserow, the paper aims to demonstrate the strong connection these families make between happiness and ‘absolute’ autonomy, understood as two sides of the same coin and seen, by the participants, as the guiding principle that should shape the way they bring their children up.  相似文献

An evolving Learning Management System for new educational environments using 2.0 tools     

Miguel Á. Conde  Francisco J. García-Peñalvo  María J. Rodríguez-Conde  Marc Alier  María J. Casany  Jordi Piguillem 《Interactive Learning Environments》2014,22(2):188-204

The tools used in learning processes are in a continuous state of flux. One of the most significant changes is the application of Information and Communications technologies (ICTs) to educational contexts. This provides new possible ways to carry out learning activities, new learning services, the possibility to use new kinds of contents and activities, etc. However, ICTs have not provided as many advantages as they were supposed to, so changes are necessary. In this context, a new set of tools, Web 2.0, offers a new way to understand the Web, in which the user is the centre. Further, users can cooperate in order to define contents. This concept is also applied in technology-mediated learning but there are important problems when one tries to integrate such tools and concepts with existing systems. This paper explores the integration of these tools in traditional learning environments, the various possibilities and their advantages and drawbacks. After that, an interoperability scenario is described and two experiences are presented to show how 2.0 tools can be integrated in learning activities, and its effect in educational process.  相似文献

El lenguaje de las gráficas cartesianas y su interpretación en la representación de situaciones discretas     

Jordi Deulofeu 《Cultura y Educación》2013,25(11-12):77-86

Parece que el avance que supuso la formulación por Descartes de las funciones matemáticas en lenguaje algebráico y gráfico simultáneamente, de manera reversible e indistinta, no se pone fácilmente al alcance de la mayoría de los alumnos con los métodos pedagógicos actuales. El autor expone las dificultades que experimentan los alumnos de entre doce y catorce años para utilizar en todas su potencialidad las gráficas cartesianas.  相似文献   

Ownership matters: Intellectual Property, privatization and innovation     

Jordi Molas-Gallart  Puay Tang 《Research Policy》2006,35(2):200-212

This paper discusses a conflict between private defence firms and government procurement agencies related to Intellectual Property management issues that emerged during the privatization process of the main UK defence research establishment. Our analysis questions a common argument found in studies of the defence industries: that a close confluence of interests exists between private suppliers and their public customers, so much so that the boundaries between public and private actors become blurred. Instead, we argue that the tensions between private suppliers and their government customers are jeopardizing the success of process innovations in defence procurement that rely on “partnership” and collaboration between defence and government customers and users.  相似文献
