Um Modelo Iterativo para o Ensino de Engenharia de Software Baseado em Abordagens Focadas no Aluno

The Software Engineering (SE) discipline has a wide amount of topics and theoretical concepts that are best learned in practice. However, most teachers adopt traditional approaches to teach, such as expositive lessons. Through this context, this paper presents an iterative model based on the main approaches, methods and techniques focused on the student that are applied in the SE teaching. A specialist’s panel composed of 3 (three) PhDs who act as teachers/researchers in the SE teaching area, did the evaluation of the structure and usability of this model. This panel considered the model complete and consistent. From the application of this model, we expect that students develop technical skills in SE at the application level. Resumo. A disciplina de Engenharia de Software (ES) possui uma ampla quantidade de tópicos teóricos que é melhor fixada na prática. No entanto, a maioria dos professores adotam abordagens tradicionais de ensino, como aulas expositivas. Mediante este contexto, este artigo apresenta um modelo iterativo baseado nas principais abordagens focadas no aluno que são aplicadas no ensino de ES. A avaliação deste modelo foi feita através de um painel de especialistas composto por 3 (três) professores/pesquisadores na área de ES. Este painel de especialistas considerou o modelo completo e consistente. A partir do uso deste modelo, espera-se que os alunos desenvolvam competências técnicas em ES no nível de aplicação.
Emotional Labour in the Role of University Department Chair

When considering the role of university department chair, one may think of objective tasks, such as budgets, scheduling, and faculty development. However, due to the social interaction required to run a department, the daily work of chair involves emotional self-management in addition to planning and organization. Although the objective tasks of the role of chair have been studied, there is a lack of information regarding chairs’ self-management of emotions, a process herein referred to as emotional labour. This study asks: “In what ways do department chairs perform emotional labour at work? ” Findings from this study may shed light on the ways in which the role of university department chair in Canada requires emotional work, as well as objective task-completion.
Proactive personality in the workplace and its relevance in South Africa.

Employees are inclined to be passive or proactive, and proactive individuals are particularly valued in situations which call for action beyond that which is accepted as the customary, namely situations requiring contingency actions, as often experienced in the hospitality industry and the allied sectors. As the proactive personality (PP) was conceptualised in the United States of America (USA), and as it is associated with several valuable outcomes, the validation of the concept (via a measure thereof), within the South African context constitutes the aim of this study. South African employees (more than 3 000), across different organisations provided information on their inclinations to be proactive in their respective work contexts. A cross-sectional survey design was used, collecting quantitative data generated through standardised instruments, assessing PP traits, and correlations thereto, in order to test theoretically informed hypotheses. All the measures had acceptable reliability, with PP having an alpha of . 881. As hypothesised, PP correlated more with innovative work behaviour (r = .489) than with organisational citizen behaviour (r = .302) as outcomes, and more with innovation climate (r = .202) than with human resource practices (r = .199) as antecedents. In line with USA findings, PP correlated, as theoretically conceptualised, with constructs in the SA context. As the PP seems to be a valid construct within the SA context, it is recommended that PP be assessed regularly in SA, particularly in selecting individuals who are required to take control of unstructured situations.
High- and Otherwise-Achieving Students’ Expectations of Classroom Group Work: An Exploratory Empirical Study

A convenience sample of 13 students aged 9–16 years participated in this exploratory phenomenological study of what high- and otherwise-achieving students’ expected they would experience when engaging in classroom group work. From questionnaire and interview data, students generally expected small group sizes, were divided about who forms groups, and expected to find teachers sitting at their desks. High-achievers expected group work less frequently, that their contributions are appreciated, and that they work equally hard in groups or independently. Otherwise-achieving students expected to work less hard in groups, more often expected negative social experiences and to divide tasks (cooperative learning); high-achievers expected to work together (collaborative learning). Seven potential contributing influences from the literature emerged in the interviews, and were supported as useful windows onto group-work expectations, as was examining learner expectations apart from preferences. Clearer, well-understood, group-work directions to students and more engaged teacher roles are among possible classroom-practice implications.
If You Criticize Us, Do It in Concrete Terms: Linguistic Abstraction as a Moderator of the Intergroup Sensitivity Effect

This research examined whether linguistic abstraction in group-directed criticisms moderates the intergroup sensitivity effect. Study 1 (N = 76) showed that criticisms coming from an out-group member and formulated in concrete terms—which imply lower generalizability and stability of the information transmitted—provoked less negative reactions compared with out-group criticisms formulated in abstract terms. Linguistic abstraction did not affect reactions to in-group criticism. In Study 2 (N = 77), receivers of concrete criticism from an out-group representative attributed less hostile intentions and prejudice to the critic, and this mediated the impact of critic group membership and linguistic abstraction on negativity toward criticism. Participants also reported more favorable attitudes toward the out-group as a whole when out-group criticism was formulated in concrete terms. This research underlines that linguistic abstraction can facilitate or obstruct effective group communication, and has important implications for the development of communicative strategies aiming to promote social change.
Deans’ Leadership Effectiveness in Oromia Teachers Training Colleges

The purpose of this study was to scrutinize the effectiveness of deanship in Teachers'Training Colleges (TTCs) of Oromia Regional State and to identify its challenges. Thestudy mainly employed descriptive survey research design and data were collected fromteachers using questionnaire and from deans and stream heads through interview and FDG.The quantitative data were analyzed using percentage, standard deviation, weighted meanand one-way ANOVA while the qualitative data were analyzed verbatim. The study showthat statistically there is a significant difference between TTCs in their deanshipeffectiveness. The deanship effectiveness in TTC1 is relatively highly effective whileTTCs 2and 4 have relatively moderately effective deanship effectiveness. TTC3 wasrelatively less effective with all mean values below average. Leadership in TTC1 seemsmore committed, visionary, participatory, transparent and democratic when compared withthe rest TTCs. The study also found out that there was no significant variation amonginstructors having different educational qualifications and different work experiences interms of their views regarding their colleges’ deanship effectiveness. Most of the TTCsleadership was affected by turnover which in turn hinders the college deans from settingand implementing management strategies for quality training. The situation at TTC3 wasunique in such a way that the leadership seems less visionary, less committed, and lessparticipatory and none transparent in managing college activities. In order to fill these gapswe recommend that the assignment of deans should be merit based with strong selectioncriteria that focus on the extent to which the candidates are visionary, committed and havea good track record. College deans with knowledge and skills gaps should get thenecessary in-service training that enable them carry out their leadership responsibilities.TTCs should be encouraged to develop a platform by which they share their experiences when it comes to their leadership.
Intrasentential binding and extrasentential binding in child and adult Korean

This article investigates the binding properties of the Korean reflexive caki. Korean caki allows a local antecedent, a long-distance sentence-internal antecedent, and (unusually) an extrasentential antecedent. Two experiments were conducted with Korean-speaking child participants (mean age = 5;8; age range = 5;1–6;4) and adult controls. The first tested local binding versus long-distance intrasentential binding, and the second tested extrasentential binding. The results show, first, that the children allowed both a local and a long-distance antecedent for caki, with a preference for the long-distance reading (counter to many claims that children show a robust preference for local antecedents crosslinguistically). Second, the children allowed caki to refer to an antecedent in a preceding sentence. These results indicate that, at an early stage, Korean children have acquired adult-like knowledge of the complex properties of caki, including what might be considered the computationally taxing option of extrasentential binding.
The Divergence of Human Cognition from Other Primates

psychology. to, archeology, closer to uncovering precisely what makes the human mind so unique. Evolutionary psychology offers an especially valuable perspective as it looks at the timeline of human cognitive development and the divergence of modern humans from their close primate relatives. In this review, cognition will be used in the broad sense of the term, including functions such as language, cooperation, and which together have allowed humans to function in large groups; causal reasoning and mental time travel, which amount to humans’ ability to determine cause and effect and extend thought into the past and future; and metacognition and theory of mind, which facilitate an understanding of one’s own beliefs and of others’ perspective and beliefs, and how they may differ one’s own.
Issue Diversification: Which Niche Parties Can Succeed Electorally by Broadening Their Agenda?

This work proposes an explanation for nationalist party success based on successful issue competition. Niche parties, it has been argued, gain votes by concentrating on their “owned” issues, such as environmentalism for green parties and mono-culturalism for nationalists. We argue that nationalist parties may increase their vote share by engaging in issue competition with mainstream parties and expanding the diversity of issues emphasized in their platforms. Because of their position and ideology, green parties are not able to engage in such an electoral strategy. Relatedly, no such reward exists for nationalist parties in well-documented majoritarian systems. In party systems with a size typical of proportional systems, we find that as nationalist parties broaden their issue agenda from highly specialized positions, they are able to increase their vote share. Our findings have significant implications for the study of party–voter issue linkages and party competition in fragmented political space.
Effects of brand placement and player involvement on brand awareness: an empirical study on online game players

This paper examines the effects of brand placement and player involvement on brand awareness. The data in this study were collected from questionnaires distributed to 150 game players of online game with snowball sampling. Data analysis used multiple regression analysis. However, our prediction that there were effect of brand placement and player involvement on brand awareness was not supported. We presents the discussions in this paper.
The Dark Tetrad and radicalization: personality profiles in young women

ABSTRACT Women’s religious radicalization and the specific factors at play in this process remain largely understudied. Psychopathic, narcissistic, Machiavellian, and sadistic traits constitute the Dark Tetrad of personality, which has been shown to be associated with several antisocial tendencies. Concretely, it has been found that the Dark Tetrad traits predict radicalized cognitions and behaviors in women. The aim of this study was (a) to extract homogeneous groups of participants using cluster analysis based on Dark tetrad traits and (b) to examine whether clusters based on Dark tetrad traits differed in both predictors (perceived discrimination and religious involvement) and consequences (radicalized cognitions and behaviors) of radicalization. Sample included 643 French college women who completed self-report questionnaires. Psychopathic, narcissistic, Machiavellian, and sadistic traits were moderately correlated. The cluster analysis resulted in four groups: a Low Traits group, a Moderate Machiavellian group, a Narcissistic group, and a group high on sadistic, psychopathic and Machiavellian traits (17% of the sample), which was characterized by the highest levels of radicalized cognitions and behaviors. This study suggests that a significant minority of non-clinical college women is characterized by the presence of high levels of Dark Tetrad traits and is at risk of religious radicalization.
Employability as a Compass for Career Success: Development and Initial Validation of a New Multidimensional Measure

This article reports the development and initial validation of a multidimensional measure of employability based on the theoretical model of Lo Presti and Pluviano (2016). Four different studies were designed and implemented. Study 1 was a qualitative study that involved a group of 15 labour market experts and aimed at developing the items pool. In Study 2, an exploratory factor analysis of 526 employees was carried out to examine the structure of the employability measure as previously obtained. Study 3 aimed at verifying the employability measure that had emerged from Study 2 through confirmatory factor analysis of 699 employees, resulting in a 28-item shortened version encompassing the original four employability dimensions. Finally, in Study 4, concurrent and predictive validity of the definitive version of the employability measure were tested on a sample of 712 employees. Implications for vocational guidance and human resource management, as well as future employability research, are discussed.
Determinants of Students' Satisfaction At Higher Educational Institution in Bangladesh: Evidence From Private and Public Universities

The purpose of this study is to identify the relative importance of factors that influence the students’ satisfaction at private and public universities in Bangladesh. Moreover, the study examines different demographic and socio-economic variables that also affect stakeholders’ satisfaction at university. Quantitative method research design was conducted for the study and a sample of 182 students was taken from different private and public universities in Bangladesh. The results showed that students were mostly satisfied with teachers’ expertise and design of course curriculumin both categories of universities in Bangladesh while food facilities had the lowest positive response factor of the students. The exceptionality of this study is to use binary logistic regression analysis to identify the most important demographic determinants regarding satisfaction. It is found that female students were less likely to be satisfied overall on their respective institutions than their male counterparts. In addition, students from the urban area and also from middle-class economic condition had more likely to be satisfied than any other counterparts. Understanding these variables could assist educational institutions with bettering their strategies to achieve their desired goal. Moreover, the strategy of development of strong personal relations with students and faculty members can definitely alleviate the dissatisfaction of the students.

Data for: Understanding Lack of Development in Early Career ESOL Teachers’ Practical Knowledge

Teacher learning is vital for academic institutions engaged in raising the educational quality of their programme (Borg, 2018). Despite this, however, longitudinal research exploring when and how language teacher learning actually takes place is relatively limited (Richards, 2017) with research mostly limited to the effectiveness of formal teacher education programmes (Borg, 2015). This study investigates the practical knowledge development of four early career language teachers outside formal, structured professional development programmes as they teach speaking skills to adult migrants. The extensive data, generated over a full academic year, indicate that practical knowledge development was very limited during this period. Furthermore, the findings suggest a strong relationship between this absence of growth and the atheoretical nature of the teachers’ practical knowledge. Such findings strongly suggest the need for educational institutions to purposefully create effective learning environments which engage teachers with public theory in order to facilitate the development of teaching expertise. This research did not receive any specific grant from funding agencies in the public, commercial, or not-for-profit sectors.
So, It’s Pricier Than Before, but Why? Price Increase Justifications Influence Risky Decision Making and Emotional Response

In this paper, we investigated how justifications for price increases are associated with risky decision making and emotional responses. Across two studies with paired lottery choices and sequential decisions, we found that participants presented with a justification for price increases based on increasing demand decided to invest in a comparatively riskier asset more often than participants presented with a justification for price increases based on increasing tax or those presented with no justification at all. We also found that participants presented with justifications for price increases based on increasing demand also reported higher arousal and displayed higher galvanic skin response than people in the other two justification conditions. Together, these studies provide evidence that only the increasing demand condition underlying a price increase of a risky asset can influence the decision to buy and suggests that emotional activation has a crucial role in such a decision process.
Investigating Distribution of Practice Effects for the Learning of Foreign Language Verb Morphology in the Young Learner Classroom

Within limited-input language classrooms, understanding the effect of distribution of practice (spacing between practice) on learning is critical, yet evidence is conflicting and of limited relevance for young learners. For second language (L2) grammar learning, some studies reveal advantages for spacing of 7 days or more, but others for shorter spacing. Further, little is known about the role of cognitive individual differences (e.g., language analytic ability; LAA) in mediating practice distribution effects for L2 grammatical knowledge development and retention. To address this gap, this classroom-based study investigated whether distribution of practice and LAA moderated the effectiveness of explicit, input-based grammar instruction for young first language (L1) English learners of French (aged 8 to 11). The study revealed minimal differences between longer (7-day) versus shorter (3.5-day) spacing of practice for learning a French verb inflection subsystem, at either posttest or delayed posttest. Minimal group-level gains and substantial within-group variation in performance at posttests were observed. Accuracy of practice during training and LAA were significantly associated with posttest performance under both practice schedules. These findings indicated that within an ecologically valid classroom context, differences in distribution of practice had limited impact on learner performance on our tests; rather, individual learner differences were more critical in moderating learning. This highlights the importance of considering individual learner differences in the development of resources and the potential of digital tools for dynamically adapting instruction to suit individuals.
Worsening School Segregation for Latino Children?

A half century of research details how segregating racial groups in separate schools corresponds with disparities in funding and quality teachers and culturally narrow curricula. But we know little about whether young Latino children have entered less or more segregated elementary schools over the past generation. This article details the growing share of Latino children from low-income families populating schools, 1998 to 2010. Latinos became more segregated within districts enrolling at least 10% Latino pupils nationwide, including large urban districts. Exposure of poor students (of any race) to middle-class peers improved nationwide. This appears to stem in part from rising educational attainment of adults in economically integrated communities populated by Latinos. Children of native-born Latina mothers benefit more from economic integration than those of immigrant mothers, who remain isolated in separate schools. We discuss implications for local educators and policy makers and suggest future research to illuminate where and how certain districts have advanced integration.
Adolescents’ Friendship Maintenance via Smartphones:The Interactive Relationship between Psychological Factors and Friendship Network Size

This study investigates how adolescents’ smartphone attachment, social anxiety, and offline and smartphone network sizes are related to their friendship in regards to maintaining either a strong or weak bond. Based on an online survey involving 402 adolescent smartphone users in South Korea, this study found that smartphone attachment was positively related to a strong ties friendship maintenance and negatively related to weak ties friendships. Similarly, social anxiety was found to be negatively associated with friendship maintenance for both strong and weak tie relationships. More importantly, this study revealed that the types and size of social networks moderated the relationships among adolescents with smartphone attachment, social anxiety, and friendship maintenance through smartphones.
