Conducting online design-based research: START e-business training as an educational intervention
Get PDFDesign researchers undertake continual refinement, based on findings from analysed data, to make iterative changes to educational research that is particularly concerned with improving the effectiveness of the educational design. This includes generating a range of artefacts that bridge educational theories with practice, resulting in new knowledge that is useful for teaching and learning in complex settings. This research focuses on teaching business skills and computer skills through transformational, reflective, and experiential learning interactions and practices. It is argued that constructivism theory provides a suitable approach for educating adult Arabic-speaking migrants to build on their skills, so they can make sense of their experiences, and continue their professional education. While we teach the Arabic-speaking migrants both business and computer skills directly, we can indirectly enhance English skills, if we focus on different aspects of English as suggested by English for specific purpose theory. This intervention constitutes a new approach to educational design. In developing the intervention, we applied the ADDIE model for instructional design. The learning management system that hosts the educational design is Chamilo. The research design uses quantitative and qualitative data collected through Chamilo including an online survey, data logs, and practical tests and quizzes. As well as data collection methods embedded in Chamilo, participant observations during Skype support sessions provide another data source for evaluating trainees’ learning and design effectiveness. This paper coalesces some considerations and limitations of online design-based research, while it also draws some reflections and action plans to overcome potential challenges in data collection as part of DBR iterative refining processes
»Sex ist voller Verletzungen«. Die religiöse Sexualmoral der protestantischen Freikirche ›Equippers‹
Get PDFWie werden Vorstellungen von Sex, Beziehung und Körperlichkeit im freikirchlich-protestantischen Kontext narrativ vermittelt? Bei den ›Equippers‹ verbinden sich Erzählstrukturen, mit scheinbar disparaten Lesarten der menschlichen sexuellen ›Natur‹, zu kohärenten und sozial anschlussfähigen Gefügen.How do contemporary, Protestant Churches narrate and communicate ideas of sex, relationships and corporeality? The ›Equippers‹ Church integrates supposedly ambiguous narratives of the ›nature‹ of human sexuality in a coherent and relatable story
Atribución de autoría y humanidades digitales en el Siglo de Oro español
Get PDFThis paper presents a series of experiments using tools offered by the digital humanities to bring new perspectives to a long-discussed case of authorship attribution: regarding the short novel La tía fingida ("The Pretended Aunt") attributed to Cervantes. The process of compilation of the corpus and some of the general problems of authorship attribution in the Spanish Golden Age are also discussed. By trying out the method of stylometry and using stylo as a tool, the different functions and experiments carried out, both for attribution and authorship verification, are presented. The results show that El celoso extremeño and La tía fingida seem to have a stylistic relatedness so are able to conclude contrasting both works from the stylometric and literary criticism perspective.
El presente trabajo expone el empleo de algunas de las herramientas que ofrecen las humanidades digitales para tratar de aportar nuevas perspectivas a un caso de autoría largamente discutido: el de la novela breve La tía fingida atribuida a Cervantes. Para llevar a cabo dicho se mostrará el proceso de compilación del corpus y algunos de los problemas de los textos del Siglo de Oro. A través del uso de la herramienta stylo se presentarán los diferentes métodos y experimentos llevados a cabo, tanto de atribución como de verificación de autoría. Los resultados de la estilometría mostraron que El celoso extremeño y La tía fingida parecen tener un parentesco estilístico por lo que se concluirá contrastando ambas obras desde la perspectiva estilométrica y la literaria
Design-based research as a research methodology in teacher and social education – a scoping review
Get PDFAs a methodological approach, design-based research (DBR) has been widely applied within research on educational systems. Nevertheless, the question of how DBR is used as a research method in specific educational environments remains. This scoping review focuses on DBR as a research methodology in teacher education and social education. Such a review can productively map a research area and can guide further research within a field. For this scoping review, 27 articles were selected, and the results showed that DBR is used as a research method in teacher education and social education; however, there are differences in how strictly the articles apply the approaches that are found and are well-known as important features within the DBR methodology. The main finding is that although the selected articles outline their research according to DBR, they do not strictly use the methodology in practice. In most studies, participants are considered co-designers, and the research is conducted in iterative cycles. Because these are the fundamental core features of DBR, it would be relevant to suggest a stronger emphasis on the guidelines within the methodology and insist that future research follows these guidelines to remain within the design-based methodology and thereby strengthen the epistemology of the methodology

‘Toponimi esposti’ in lingua minoritaria nella regione Friuli Venezia Giulia: Tra normalizzazione e autopercezione
Get PDFIn multilingual areas, displaying toponymic indications in different languages is a fundamental contribution to ensuring the visibility of the languages of the territory. In the case of minority language communities with marked dialect fragmentation, which either do not dispose of a variety of reference or whose variety of reference has been codified only recently, as well as in areas with little orientation towards an exogenous norm (language islands, but sometimes also border territories), deciding to display toponyms in several languages is, however, not without its problems: should the local form, often of limited diffusion, or a supra-local form be preferred? In the case of non-codified languages, which graphic tradition should one refer to? Using the example of Friuli Venezia Giulia, in north-eastern Italy, we will illustrate how toponymic choices could be very different if the actors implementing them are different. Furthermore, we will show how this can cause irritation and negative reactions in the local community. We will then attempt to investigate the motives driving such choices and what culture of memory emerges from them.In aree plurilingui, l’esposizione di indicazioni toponimiche in lingue diverse costituisce un contributo fondamentale per garantire la visibilità delle lingue del territorio. Nel caso di comunità linguistiche minoritarie con spiccata frammentazione dialettale, con una varietà di riferimento di recente codificazione o prive di essa, nonché in zone con scarso orientamento verso una norma esogena (isole linguistiche, ma talora anche territori di confine), la decisione di esporre toponimi in più lingue non è tuttavia scevra di problemi: va prediletta la forma locale, spesso di diffusione limitata, o una forma sovralocale? Nel caso di lingue non codificate, a quale tradizione grafica ci si deve orientare? All’esempio del Friuli Venezia Giulia, nel nordest d’Italia, illustreremo come le scelte toponimiche, talora contrastanti a seconda degli attori che le attuano, possano suscitare irritazioni e reazioni negative nella popolazione. Cercheremo poi di indagare i motivi che guidano tali scelte e quale cultura della memoria ne emerga
