Determining Digital Literacy Levels of Primary School Teachers
Authors: KORKMAZ Murat , AKÇAY Ahmet Oğuz
Published: December 2023

The primary purpose of this research was to determine the digital literacy proficiency perceptions of primary school teachers working in Eskisehir and compare them based on certain variables. The mixed method was used as a research method; the data were collected using the Digital Literacy Assessment Scale developed by Acar (2015) for quantitative findings and in-depth interviews for qualitative results. The quantitative study group consisted of 733 primary school teachers. In the qualitative dimension of the research, there were data from 7 primary school teachers who agreed to fill out the structured interview form and then take part in an in-depth interview. Quantitative data of the study were analyzed using SPSS software. Qualitative data were analyzed with the descriptive analysis method and interpreted according to their relationship with the research questions. The result showed that the primary school teachers perceive themselves as highly sufficient in regard to the different competence areas of digital literacy and that they dominate these competence areas to a great extent. There were significant differences between the digital literacy levels of the primary school teachers and their age, gender, educational status, seniority in the profession, personal computer possession, constant internet connection, technologies/practices used in education, and technological education. However, the grade level taught was not an influential factor in their digital literacy levels. Moreover, in-service training should be organized to provide digital literacy, using Web 2.0 tools, and integrating technology into the classroom environment, starting with those who have more service than their years of seniority in the profession.

This research aims to explore; "Equality and Equation" within the scope of primary education seventh grade mathematics course and the responses and feedback of gifted individuals towards a digital gamification approach to maths, their attitudes towards maths, impact on maths related anxiety. Experimental design with pretest-posttest design control group was used in this study. The study was carried out during the 2022-2023 academic year with a total of 30 seventh grade gifted students 15 of them from the experimental group and 15 in the control group. During the study, whilst the control group was taught without intervention, the experimental group was taught mathematics supported by digital gamification. Additionally, participants in the experimental group were asked to keep diaries during the implementation process, enabling them to reflect their thoughts on digital gamification-based teaching. In the study, it was concluded that digital gamification-based teaching positively affects attitudes towards mathematics among gifted students. After the program, anxiety levels amongst participating students decreased, it was also observed that between pre-test scores and post-test scores there was no statistically significant difference. In the study, students stated that mathematics lessons based on digital gamification were fun and their prejudices about the subject were broken.

Authors: ÜSTÜNDAĞ Alev
Published: December 2023

In the study, aimed to determine mothers’ awareness of digital parenting. This quantitative study employed a descriptive survey model. This study was conducted on 306 mothers whose children enrolled in kindergarten, primary school, secondary school, and high school participated in the research. The data were collected using the Digital Parenting Awareness Scale (DPAS) and personal information form for demographic information of the mothers. Descriptive analyses, Mann-Whitney U Test, Kruskal-Wallis Test and Tamhane's Post Hoc tests were used in the analysis of the data. The analysis results revealed that mothers' digital parenting awareness levels were high. Additionally, no significant difference was found in digital parenting awareness by child gender, previous knowledge about digital media, and the number of children mothers have. It was also found that the level of digital neglect of mothers between the ages of 46-50 was high, mothers living in the Çankaya had a high level of being a negative model, and the mothers living in the Keçiören had a high level of efficient use of digital tools. The mothers whose children attended primary school were negative models, and those with undergraduate and graduate degrees had a high level of being negative models.
A Systematic Literature Review on IT Governance Mechanisms and Frameworks
Authors: KARATAŞ Merve Hatice , ÇAKIR Hüseyin
Published: December 2023

Nowadays, it is not common to come across sectors that can work and succeed without using information technology (IT). IT has now become a part of organizations' management and strategic decision-making mechanisms. Therefore, organizations make serious investments to develop software and system infrastructures and transfer business processes to digital environments such as cloud technologies. So, they get business resilient while they gain opportunities of spreading their business activities to wide stakeholders and customers. Here it is essential to provide assurance that an organization evaluates, develops, implements, maintains, disposes of its IT systems and manages life cycle of all information and information technology systems properly on all physical and logical environments. However, the most important matter is that an organization’s objectives are met by the management practices of its information systems. While organizations carry out their digital transformation at a dizzying speed, organizations should be protected from material and moral damages such as loss of money, loss of commercial confidential information, loss of reputation by protecting the confidentiality, integrity and accessibility of the information assets they own and also comply with legal legislations such as the protection of personal data and intellectual property rights. In order to achieve this, organizations benefit from one or more frameworks, standards or directives that are suitable for their own structures and needs, separately or by integrating them. However, the most important point in this transformation process is the transition of organizations from IT management understanding to IT governance. In other words, IT has now become a part of the strategic decision-making mechanism by rising from the level of support tool to carry out business processes in organizations. When we search the academic literature, frameworks and standards, it is seen that the key elements of IT governance are structures, processes and relational mechanisms. If these three components are set up correctly and fit the organization, it can be assured that IT aligns with and supports the objectives of the organizations and that effective IT governance is achieved in every kind of organizations. In this research, databases such as Web of Science, IEEE, and SCOPUS are scanned and found articles are reviewed in order to make a literature review on IT Governance Mechanisms and Frameworks. Results are evaluated and discussed. By the way, suggestions for further studies were made and advanced researches were shed light on.
Diversidad arbórea de sistemas silvopastoriles sobre la conservación de avifauna en la región de Los Volcanes
Authors: Rodríguez Licea Gabriela , Amaro Peralta Eric , Santiago Rodríguez María del Rosario , Rosas Córdova José
Published: December 2023

Introducción. La diversidad arbórea de los sistemas silvopastoriles cobra relevancia el evaluar su aporte a la conservación de paisajes y de la biodiversidad, entre ésta la avifauna. (Ramírez et al., 2011). Objetivo. Evaluar la diversidad de especies arbóreas, la dominancia que existe entre ellas y su conexión sobre la avifauna residente en la región de Los Volcanes, Estado de México. Metodos. La avifauna se registró mediante el método puntos de conteo realizado dos veces al día durante los cuatro periodos estacionales de un año (2021). Se calculó la abundancia, riqueza e índice de Shannon a partir de las aves totales registradas. La evaluación de las variables se realizó a partir de un análisis de varianza en diseño bifactorial aleatorio. Resultados y discusión. Se registraron 309 aves pertenecientes a 28 especies, de las cuales cuatro mostraron una gran conectividad con el agropaisaje por su función polinizadora. La mayor abundancia se presentó en los recursos arbóreos y arbustivos de los sistemas silvopastoriles y en bosques cercanos a dichos sistemas, probablemente por la protección, alimento y agua para su sobrevivencia y reproducción que les aporta la biodiversidad arbórea, de ahí que, la mayor riqueza de avifauna se registró durante el período de apareamiento durante la estación primaveral, resultados que coinciden con los obtenidos por Rodríguez et al. (2022) en lo que a sistemas silvopastoriles se refiere y, con De la Ossa-Lacayo (2013) asociado a la función de los recursos arbóreos y arbustivos. Las principales familias de arbóreas que predominan en el sistema silvopastoril son Lauraceae, Rosaceae, Solanaceae, Caricaceae, Pinaceae. Conclusión. Se aporta evidencia de la importancia que tiene la diversidad y cobertura arbórea de los sistemas silvopastoriles no sólo para las actividades pecuarias, sino también en la conservación de agropaisajes, avifauna y fragmentos de bosque en que se encuentra.

Authors: Aguilar Luna Jesús Mao Estanislao , Pichón Rodríguez Esmeralda , Alcántara Jiménez José Ángel
Published: December 2023

Introducción. Recientemente, los sistemas agroforestales (SAF) de la región templada de la Sierra Norte de Puebla y de otras partes del mundo sufren modificaciones que se atribuyen al cambio climático (Bhardwaj et al., 2023), a la introducción de nuevas especies y a los cambios de uso de la tierra (Gordon et al., 2018). Objetivo. Caracterizar los principales SAF en la región templada de la Sierra Norte de Puebla. Métodos. Entre 2020 y 2023 se realizaron 200 caracterizaciones agroforestales en 20 municipios de la región templada de la Sierra Norte de Puebla. Las variables fueron: tamaño, tipo de SAF, especies, % de ocupación, nivel de tecnificación y edad. Resultados y discusión. El 68% de los SAF fueron menores a 1 ha, el 24% de 2 a 5 ha y el 8% mayores a 5 ha. Predominan los árboles forestales y frutales en tierras de cultivo (38%), huertos caseros (24%), árboles en potreros (18%), multiestratos (16%) y terrazas (4%). Las especies perennes-leñosas que destacan por su presencia: Alnus acuminata, Citrus latifolia, Crataegus mexicana, Cupressus spp., Erythrina americana, Ficus carica, Juniperus deppeana, Malus domestica, Persea americana, Pinus spp., Prunus domestica, Prunus persica, Pyrus communis, Quercus spp., y Salix spp. El porcentaje de ocupación de la tierra fue: 40% con cultivos, 35% con frutales, 20% con forestales y 5% con animales. El nivel de tecnificación del SAF: 70% nivel bajo, 25% nivel medio y 5% nivel alto. Edad del SAF: 0 a 5 años (9%), 6 a 15 años (14%) y más de 15 años (77%).  Conclusión. Los SAF son una alternativa de producción en las zonas templadas; sin embargo, su presencia, adopción y diversificación es limitada en la Sierra Norte de Puebla.

Authors: Huallarzaba Bermúdez José de Jesús , Huerta Galván Oassis Felipe , Gómez Jiménez Miguel Ángel , Fregoso Ruíz Brenda Danaly , Castellanos Ramos Noé
Published: December 2023

Introducción. Los municipios de San Sebastián del Oeste y Mascota, parte del territorio del Paisaje Biocultural de Sierra Occidental de Jalisco (PBSOJ), presentan una diversidad de ecosistemas como el bosque de pino-encino (BP-E), bosque mesófilo de montaña (BMM), bosque tropical caducifolio (BTC) y bosque de galería (BG) (Aragón-Parada et al., 2021). Como parte del subproyecto de ríos, se propone la implementación de sistemas agroforestales basados en tipos de vegetación nativa, incluyendo especies de la NOM-059-SEMARNAT-2010 (Acosta-Pérez, 2021). Este modelo permitirá establecer y fortalecer prácticas que reconozcan y promuevan la resiliencia de los ecosistemas a través de la conservación y el manejo productivo. Objetivo. Generar modelos regionales para el programa de Unidades de Producción Agroforestal ProSAF en el territorio PBSOJ. Métodos. A través de entrevistas etnográficas, recorridos y colectas etnobotánicas, talleres participativos diagnósticos y revisión bibliográfica; se trabaja en la generación de diferentes modelos agroforestales. Para la generación de modelos se toman en cuenta además dos criterios: La implementación de las especies vegetales nativas en el sitio a intervenir será de, por lo menos, 80% (Fisher-Ortíz et al., 2021). Se deberá incluir una o varias de las 10 especies vegetales con alguna categoría de riesgo de la NOM 059 2010 DE SEMARNAT, contempladas en el marco del subproyecto de ríos. Resultados y discusión. Se proponen los siguientes modelos ProSAF adaptados a microrregiones y actividades productivas: BP-E forestal, BMM cafetal bajo sombra, BMM Solar, BTC de restauración, BTC solar y BG como modelo de amortiguamiento para su posterior implementación en parcelas demostrativas en el territorio del PBSOJ. Conclusiones. Los modelos propuestos son importantes ya que son modelos socialmente aceptados, pues integran la agrobiodiversidad de la región aunado al conocimiento tradicional y de manejo sobre el paisaje, así como la conservación de especies nativas amenazadas.

Este estudo teve como objetivo geral abordar a diversidade de gênero, sexualidade e educação no contexto de pessoas idosas da Universidade da Maturidade da Universidade Estadual de Mato Grosso do Sul (UMA/UEMS). Os objetivos específicos consistiram em investigar e avaliar o nível de familiaridade dos alunos da UMA com os termos "diversidade" e "gênero"; apresentar suas percepções, além de discutir em que medida eles são detentores de concepções no contexto da diversidade de gênero e sexualidade. A metodologia é de cunho bibliográfico tendo como base uma pesquisa exploratória – descritiva. A coleta primária de dados utilizou-se da ferramenta google forms aplicando um questionário com questões abertas e de múltipla escolha para investigar o conhecimento dos alunos na terceira idade sobre a diversidade de gênero e a sexualidade. Constatou-se que, os entrevistados já ouviram falar a respeito da diversidade de gênero, contudo, existem equívocos quanto ao conceito. Há interesse quanto a busca por informações e esclarecimento específico sobre a diversidade como um todo. De um modo geral, as abordagens pontuais que apresentam teor preconceituoso sobre questões de cunho religioso podem ser decorrentes da falta de conhecimento.
RIFLESSIONI DI STUDENTI DI L1 SLOVACCA SUL TEMPO E L’ASPETTO IN ITALIANO: UNO STUDIO DI CASO
Authors: Palágyi Tivadar , Medveczká Mária , Malovecký Mojmír
Published: December 2023

Lo studio indaga le riflessioni sul tempo e sull’aspetto fatte da studenti universitari che hanno come L1 lo slovacco come L3 l’italiano. Utilizzando metodi misti qualitativi e quantitativi, offre un’analisi approfondita delle argomentazioni fornite dagli studenti. Descrive le differenze nell’uso delle strategie cognitive di apprendimento grammaticale (riflessione metalinguistica, traduzione, intuizione) in relazione alla complessità delle caratteristiche aspettuali delle frasi analizzate. L’approccio sperimentale presenta la prospettiva dell’apprendente, in quanto offre frasi grammaticali e agrammaticali per studiare le opinioni sulla correttezza o scorrettezza di esempi dati in italiano come lingua straniera. L’articolo propone innovazioni nel disegno della ricerca per consentire interrogazioni contrastive specializzate in ulteriori ricerche sull’apprendimento del tempo verbale e dell’aspetto nell’italiano L3 da parte di apprendenti di L1 slovacca. La ricerca è stata condotta nell’ambito di un seminario sperimentale multilingue.

 

Reflections of L1 Slovak students on tense and aspect in Italian: a case study

 

The study investigates the tense and aspect reflections by Slovak L1 university students in L3 Italian. Using mixed qualitative and quantitative methods, it offers an in-depth analysis of the arguments provided by students. It describes differences in the use of cognitive grammar learning strategies (metalinguistic reflection, translation, intuition) concerning the complexity of the aspectual characteristics of the analyzed sentences. The experimental approach addresses the learner’s perspective, as it offers both grammatical and ungrammatical sentences to study views on the correctness or incorrectness of given examples in Italian as a foreign language. The paper proposes innovations in research design to permit specialized contrastive queries in further research of tense and aspect learning of L3 Italian by L1 Slovak learners. The research was conducted as part of a multilingual experimental seminar.
IL VERBO TRA LESSICO E TESTO: ANALISI DI PRODUZIONI SCRITTE DI APPRENDENTI DI ITALIANO L2
Authors: Fioravanti Irene , Malagnini Francesca
Published: December 2023

Lo studio presenta un’analisi linguistica e testuale di produzioni scritte di italiano L2, con particolare attenzione alle forme verbali usate dagli apprendenti. L’analisi linguistica ha riguardato il verbo da un punto di vista sia grammaticale sia lessicale. Inoltre, il verbo è stato osservato in una precisa struttura argomentale (Verbo + Oggetto diretto), per indagare se fossero rispettate le restrizioni semantiche imposte dal verbo nella selezione degli argomenti. Parallelamente, l’analisi si è concentrata anche sulla scelta e sull’uso dell’avverbio, con lo scopo di osservare come gli apprendenti impieghino l’avverbio con funzione di modificatore del verbo. L’analisi testuale, invece, si è concentrata sull’architettura del testo e sull’area semantica e funzione linguistica dei verbi in relazione alla traccia e alla tipologia del testo. Infine, si affrontano interessanti riflessioni sullo sviluppo della competenza lessicale e testuale in italiano L2.

 

The verb between lexicon and text: analysis of written productions by Italian l2 learners

 

This study presents a linguistic and textual analysis of written productions of L2 Italian, with a focus on the verb forms used by learners. The linguistic analysis focused on the verb from both grammatical and lexical perspectives. In addition, the verb was observed in a precise argument structure (Verb + Direct Object), to investigate whether the semantic restrictions imposed by the verb in argument selection were respected. In parallel, the analysis also focused on the choice and use of the adverb, with the aim of observing how learners employed the adverb as a modifier of the verb. Textual analysis, on the other hand, focused on the architecture of the text and the semantic area and linguistic function of verbs in relation to the outline and text type. Finally, interesting reflections on the development of lexical and textual competence in Italian L2 are addressed.
TRANSNATIONAL LANGUACULTURE E MOBILITÀ VIRTUALE: IL VIDEOSHADOWING COME DIDATTICA ESPERIENZIALE
Authors: Landone Elena
Published: December 2023

Gli studenti di una lingua straniera si muovono dinamicamente in una tale varietà di contesti fisici e virtuali che i costrutti di “lingua” e “cultura” sperimentano in modo concreto la sfumatura dei loro confini. In questo studio, partiamo dalla messa in discussione dei contesti statici di formazione della competenza comunicativa interculturale e dall’urgenza civica e politica che la investe. Come proposta, presentiamo la mobilità virtuale tramite videoshadowing, una metodologia in via si sperimentazione di cui riportiamo e analizziamo i primi dati. Rileviamo dai nostri progetti pilota che i discenti partecipanti vivono una dimensione esperienziale in un contesto di legame personale affettivamente connotato e di motivazione stabile. In tal modo è facilitato un contatto con un’inusitata varietà linguistica, pragmatica e socioculturale che permette agli studenti sia di ampliare il lessico della lingua meta e le conoscenze culturali, sia di avere stimoli per la scoperta e il confronto fra culture.

 

Transnational languaculture and virtual mobility: videoshadowing as experiential teaching

 

Learners of a foreign language move dynamically in such a variety of physical and virtual contexts that the constructs of “language” and “culture” experience the blurring of their boundaries. In this study, we discuss the static learning contexts in relation to the formation of intercultural communicative competence and its civic and political urgency. As a proposal, we present the first data and analysis of the videoshadowing, a new methodology of virtual mobility. In our pilot projects, participants report living an experiential dimension in a context of affective personal bonding and stable motivation. This facilitates contact with a wide linguistic, pragmatic and socio-cultural variety that enables students both to broaden their vocabulary and cultural knowledge and to have stimuli for discovery and comparison between cultures.
AUTONOMIA NELL’APPRENDIMENTO DELLE LINGUE STRANIERE. UNA REVISIONE DELLA LETTERATURA
Authors: Montanaro Marianna
Published: December 2023

La finalità del presente articolo è ricostruire lo stato dell’arte riguardo l’autonomia degli studenti nell’apprendimento delle lingue straniere (LS). L’autonomia è un concetto complesso e ampiamente studiato a partire dagli anni Settanta del Ventesimo secolo. È centrale nelle argomentazioni pedagogiche e glottodidattiche e la riflessione intorno all’autonomia è ancora oggi urgente e contingente in quanto è presupposto per il lifelong learning e per l’innovazione pedagogica e didattica. Si presenta dunque lo stato dell’arte sull’autonomia dagli anni Settanta al primo decennio degli anni duemila, le principali definizioni elaborate dagli studiosi, i modelli di autonomia e le strategie per misurarla, nonché le variabili che influenzano su di essa. Si conclude con l’esposizione dei principali lavori in merito al ruolo del docente nell’ambiente di apprendimento autonomo e con riflessioni intorno alle lacune nello stato dell’arte, nonché nuove prospettive di ricerca.

 

Autonomy in foreign language learning: a literature review

 

The purpose of this article is to reconstruct the state of the art regarding the autonomy of students in learning foreign languages (LS). Autonomy is a complex concept that has been extensively studied since the 1970s. It is central to pedagogical and language teaching arguments and the reflection around autonomy is still urgent and contingent today as it is a prerequisite for lifelong learning and for pedagogical and didactic innovation. We therefore present the state of the art on autonomy from the 1970s to the first decade of the 2000s, the main definitions elaborated by scholars, the models of autonomy and the strategies to measure it, as well as the variables that influence it and new perspectives of research.

Introduzione
RIFLESSIONI CONCLUSIVE E QUALCHE UTILE PRECISAZIONE
Authors: Branciforti Giuseppe
Published: December 2023

Nell’articolo, partendo dalla differenza tra le grammatiche di impostazione tradizionale e le grammatiche a impianto moderno (le sole che generalmente si avvalgono di test linguistici per verificare i paradigmi teorici descritti) vengono ridiscussi tutti i criteri che sono stati utilizzati per discriminare la categoria delle congiunzioni da quella degli avverbi anaforici, allo scopo di evidenziarne l’utilità didattica. Siamo infatti convinti che il loro impiego, se ragionato e negli ordini di scuola opportuni,è uno strumento molto utile, come dimostra nella conclusione il caso della parola eppure, per riflettere meglio sui fenomeni linguistici, per metterli per così dire alla prova dei fatti, per creare in classe con gli studenti, insomma, un “laboratorio del fare” che avvicini lo studio della grammatica al metodo sperimentale. L’articolo, oltre a configurarsi come conclusione dell’intera monografia, dialoga quindi in modo particolare con l’articolo di Bellato, Sartori e con l’articolo di Maria G. Lo Duca. 

 

Concluding reflections and some useful clarifications

 

In the article, starting from the difference between grammars with a traditional layout and grammars with a modern layout (the only ones that generally make use of linguistic tests to verify the theoretical paradigms described) all the criteria that have been used to discriminate the category of conjunctions from that of anaphoric adverbs are re-discussed, in order to highlight their didactic usefulness. We are in fact convinced that their use, if reasoned and in the appropriate school orders, is a very useful tool, as the case of the word nevertheless demonstrates in the conclusion, to better reflect on linguistic phenomena, to put them to the test so to speak, to create in the classroom with the students, in short, a “laboratory of doing”, which brings the study of grammar closer to the experimental method. The article, as well as acting as a conclusion to the entire monograph, therefore dialogues in a particular way with Bellato, Sartori and Maria G. Lo Duca’s article.
DALLE TESI GISCEL AI DOCUMENTI DI POLITICA PLURI(?)-LINGUISTICA EUROPEA: STESSE SFIDE IN CONTESTI DIVERSI
Authors: Barni Monica
Published: December 2023

Il contributo si concentra sull’analisi del modo in cui i termini ‘multilinguismo’ e ‘plurilinguismo’ sono utilizzati nei documenti di politica linguistica europea, e sulle loro implicazioni per l’educazione linguistica. In tali documenti, anche molto recenti, è presente ancora una forte oscillazione dell’uso e del significato dei due termini, che contribuisce a condizionate la concreta applicazione pratica dell’educazione plurilingue, come intesa da De Mauro (1975) e dalle Dieci Tesi GISCEL. 

 

From GISCEL Theses to european multi-(?)-linguistic policy documents: same challenges in different contexts

 

The paper focuses on analyzing the way the terms ‘multilingualism’ and ‘plurilingualism’ are used in European language policy documents, and their implications for language education. In such documents, even very recent ones, there is still a strong fluctuation in the use and meaning of the two terms, which contributes to conditioning the concrete practical application of ‘plurilingual education’, as conceived by De Mauro (1975) and the Dieci Tesi GISCEL.
SCRITTURA E SPREZZATURA: UN APPROCCIO FUNZIONALE ALLA DIDATTICA DELLA SCRITTURA ACCADEMICA
Authors: Testa Martin
Published: December 2023

Il linguaggio dei testi scientifici è da sempre considerato non solo poco comprensibile ma anche escludente e alienante (Ferrini, 2020; Halliday, Martin, 1993; Lemke, 1990; Rovere, 2010). Benché la difficoltà nel comprendere questo tipo di testi si debba talvolta a una mancanza di preparazione da parte dei lettori, molto spesso sono le scelte lessicali e grammaticali degli autori a rendere specialmente difficili i loro testi. Dopo una lunga tradizione di strategie basate sulla lunghezza e sulla disponibilità delle parole che compongono il testo (cfr. Proietti, 2010), negli ultimi tempi l’attenzione si è spostata a strategie di tipo qualitativo (cfr. Dyda, 2021); tuttavia, alcune questioni fondamentali della comunicazione umana, quali la struttura tematica e informativa dell’enunciato, continuano ad essere ignorate nei corsi e nei manuali di scrittura. Lo scopo di questo articolo è quindi quello di proporre un approccio funzionale alla didattica della scrittura accademica con particolare attenzione al miglioramento della comprensibilità (ing. readability), partendo dalla premessa che i presupposti della struttura tematica e informativa dell’enunciato, nonché l’uso di cornici e copioni di scrittura, possono migliorare sensibilmente la comprensibilità dei testi. Questo approccio, che vuole articolare le conoscenze provenienti dalla ricerca in linguistica testuale, in grammatica sistemico-funzionale e in psicologia cognitiva, mira, in definitiva, a far diventare gli studenti non solo migliori scrittori, ma anche migliori ‘fruitori’ (cfr. Hyland, 2005) di testi accademici.

 

Writing with sprezzatura: A functional approach for teaching academic writing

 

The language of scientific texts has always been considered not only difficult to understand but also excluding and alienating(Ferrini, 2020; Halliday, Martin, 1993; Lemke, 1990; Rovere, 2010). Although the difficulty in understanding this type of textsis sometimes due to a lack of preparation on the part of the readers, very often it is the lexical and grammatical choices of the authors themselves that make their texts unnecessarily difficult. After a long tradition of strategies based on word length, sentence length and lexical availability (cfr. Proietti, 2010), attention has recently shifted to more qualitative strategies (cfr. Dyda, 2021). Nevertheless, some fundamental issues of human communication, such as information packaging, continue to be ignored in writing courses and textbooks. The aim of this article is therefore to propose a functional approach for teaching academic writing, with a special focus on text readability, starting from the premise that the assumptions of informationstructure, as well as the use of writing frames, can significantly improve the intelligibility of texts. This approach, which draws on research from text linguistics, systemic-functional grammar and cognitive psychology aims ultimately at helping students become not only better writers, but also better ‘users’ (cfr. Hyland, 2005) of academic texts.

Trauma culturale tra memoria e comunicazione nell’emergenza pandemica in Italia
Authors: Nicolosi Guido
Published: December 2023

La sociologia della cultura ha definito il trauma culturale come una condizione in cui i membri di una collettivitàsentono di essere stati sottoposti ad un evento orribile che ha lasciato tracce indelebili sulla loro coscienza di gruppoe che ha segnato per sempre le loro memorie, cambiando la loro futura identità in un modo fondamentale eirrevocabile. Gli eventi catastrofici legati alla pandemia da coronavirus, potrebbero certamente aver prodotto ferite ecicatrici nel tessuto collettivo. In questo saggio, ci poniamo due obiettivi distinti, ma intrecciati. Da una parte, vogliamo mostrare le numerose criticità che hanno contraddistinto la comunicazione prodotta in Italia nel corso della pandemia. Dall’altra, intendiamo mostrare come tale criticità possano determinare un trauma culturale diffuso. In particolare, intendiamo mostrare come quest’ultimo possa nascere, allo stesso tempo, da un utilizzo distorto della memoria pubblica e dalla produzione di una memoria basata su un immaginario catastrofico traumatogeno.

Authors: Wilson Onilee
Published: December 2023

The purpose of this paper is to use the Agent Based Approach to analyze the Global Apparel Supply Chain system. Through this paper, I will use DSRP analysis to understand the system as it is, POSIWID analysis to compare the current system to the aspirant system, and CAS analysis to define the agents of the system. With these analyses methods, I will illustrate where interventions can be made within the supply chain system to alter the system structure from a linear to circular model. Through this change in system structure, these recommendations will address the emergent behaviors of the supply chain system through circularity and sustainability initiatives.

Mathematics is one of the subjects that has been taught from the elementary level. However, in reality in the Papua Highlands area thats mathematics is still a problem for both students and teachers. Teachers who are used to teaching using the lecture method make students lazy to take math lessons which results in low math learning outcomes. Mathematics which has an abstract nature requires teachers to be able to concretize it so that it is easily understood by students, considering that students at the basic level are still classified as concrete thinkers. The purpose of implementing this PKM is to provide training for Inpres Tiom Elementary School teachers in creating a pleasant atmosphere for learning mathematics without having to burden students' brains, introduce methods that can be used to teach basic arithmetic, improve student learning outcomes, especially in fostering cooperation between Inpres Tiom Elementary School teacher partners with STKIP Abdi Wacana Wamena. Overcoming the problems above, a solution is provided so that the mathematics lessons being taught become fun lessons for elementary school children, partners are given learning training with the use of visual aids and the application of the jarimatics method. Based on the results of the evaluation of the training activities through the questionnaire provided, it was found that all the teachers who participated in the training strongly agreed with the training activities.

Environmental concerns have garnered increasing global attention, prompting discussions on how to integrate these issues into business operations and strategies. While lean supply chain strategy (LSC) and agile supply chain strategy (ASC) are recognized for their environmental benefits to organizations, the impact of LSC and ASC on the environmental performance of firms remains relatively unexplored. This study aims to analyze the influence of LSC and ASC within various functional areas of manufacturing firms on their environmental performance. To gather data, a quantitative survey methodology was employed, involving 299 manufacturing firms in Malaysia. Out of the collected responses, 231 were deemed usable for analysis. The survey results reveal that lean supply chain strategy and agile supply chain strategy positively affect environmental performance. Moreover, supply chain responsiveness (SCR) partially mediates the relationship between LSC and ASC on environmental performance. This study contributes to the existing literature and practices in supply chain management strategy and sustainable performance in manufacturing industries.

Published: December 2023

20. yüzyılın ikinci yarısından sonra ivme kazanan doğrudan yabancı yatırım akımları ülke ekonomisi üzerinde birtakım olumlu ve olumsuz etkiler bırakmaktadır. Söz konusu etkiler yapılan yatırımların amacına ve şekline göre değişiklik gösterebileceği gibi ülkelerin ekonomik yapısı ve uyguladıkları politikalara göre de farklılık göstermektedir. Fakat yaygın görüş, yabancı yatırımların sermaye düzeyine ve verimlilik artışına sebep olarak ekonomik büyüme ve kalkınmayı pozitif etkilediğine yöneliktir. Bu sebeple çoğu ülke doğrudan yabancı yatırım çekmeye yönelik çeşitli teşvik politikaları uygulamaya başlamıştır. Yapılan bu araştırmada, 1996-2018 yıllarına ait verilerden hareketle seçilmiş geçiş ekonomilerinin büyümesi üzerinde doğrudan yabancı yatırımların etkisi panel veri analizi kullanılarak incelenmiştir. Yapılan analiz sonucunda ise doğrudan yabancı yatırımların ekonomik büyümeyi pozitif ve anlamlı olarak etkilediği sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.

On the Tangut Version of the Abhisamayālaṁkāra Series Preserved at the IOM, RAS
Authors: Ma Xiaofang
Published: December 2023

This paper introduces the Tangut version of the Abhisamayālaṁkāra Series kept at the IOM, RAS, including the original śāstra and its commentaries. These documents indicate that the Abhisamayālaṁkāra was very popular and several commentaries were available in the Tangut region in the 12thc. In addition to Maitreya’s original text and the most famous commentary by Pandita Haribhadra, we consider two other commentaries showing that translations different from Tibetan ones may be derived from Tangut understanding and exegesis of Maitreya and Haribhadra’s works.
New Translations of Some Tangut Words
Authors: Wang Peipei
Published: December 2023

Some important documents, such as the Tangut legal texts “Revised and Newly Approved Code of the Heavenly Prosperity Reign (1149–1168)” (Tiansheng lüling) and “New Laws of the Pig Year” (Hainian xinfa), are not fully clarified. One reason is that some Tangut words cannot be understood correctly. The main key to finding exact meanings of Tangut words are translations of Chinese classics. In this paper it is shown how using the Tangut translation of a Chinese leishu, “Forest of Categories” (Lei lin), and finding correct interpretations of nine words results in reasonable translations of legal provisions.
Understanding Students’ Misconceptions about Chemical Formula Writing and Naming Ionic Compounds
Authors: Deleña Russel , Marasigan Arlyne C.
Published: December 2023

Difficulties in the competency of chemical formula writing and naming ionic compounds are common to General Chemistry 1 learners. Hence, this study is formulated to understand 34 General Chemistry 1 learners' misconceptions about chemical formula writing and naming ionic compounds. This descriptive case study research used a two-tier test and interview questionnaire as the main data-gathering instruments. From the conducted study, analysis shows that in terms of chemical formula writing, the learners misrepresent ionic compounds as charged species, show a lack of understanding of valency and the use of the cross-charge method, and mispresent radicals. In naming ionic compounds, the learners generally misname some of the elements found in binary ionic compounds and misname metal ions with more than 1 charge and polyatomic ions. These misconceptions were validated by the difficulties experienced by the learners in answering the two-tier test, as mentioned in their interviews. Despite the misconceptions and difficulties of the learners in chemical formula writing and naming ionic compounds, they mentioned several ways of addressing them.
« Je t’aime. – Moi aussi (je t’aime). »
Authors: Charnavel Isabelle
Published: December 2023

In dialogs like “I love you – I do too”, the pronoun in the ellipsis site can be interpreted as dependent on the preceding overt pronoun (i.e. I do love you too). This dependency can neither be explained by Kaplan’s (1977/1989) theory implying the fixity of indexicals, nor by the various theories of bound indexicals: due to mismatch in person features, the identity in the ellipsis is not sloppy, but supersloppy in such cases. Based on experimentally collected English data, I proposed in Charnavel (2019) to reduce supersloppy readings to sloppy readings by hypothesizing that indexicals can be interpreted as context-dependent descriptions containing a bindable pronoun, i.e. as indexical e-type pronouns (e.g. you as my interlocutor). But due to some limitations in my English data, I left open two interrelated issues: (i) whether supersloppy readings, like sloppy readings, rely on focus blindness to presuppositions of bound pronouns; (ii) whether supersloppy readings can be analyzed in the same way in ellipsis and focus constructions. I here use novel French data to settle these two issues partly based on some morphosyntactic specificities of French. By clarifying the analysis of supersloppy readings, this provides new insight into the theories of indexicals and e-type pronouns.
