Las TIC y la adquisición de la competencia paremiológica en aprendientes de traducción e interpretación

Author(s): Manuel Sevilla Muñoz,Myriam Huéscar Villa / Language(s): Spanish Issue: 1/2024

The presence of phraseological units (PUs) in a text means a higher level of difficulty during the translation process. For this reason, it is desirable that learners of Translation and Interpreting acquire a certain phraseological and paremiological competence. The combined use of several ICTs could have a motivating effect on the teaching and learning process, enhance collaborative learning, and improve learning outcomes. On this point, a training action has been designed within the framework of the flipped classroom and collaborative learning so that Translation and Interpreting students can identify paremias, learn about their types, and characterise them. In this training activity, tutorial videos, Google Drive documents, and the Instagram social network, specifically the account of the Paremia journal, are used for didactic purposes. Once the educational action is over, students are given a questionnaire to assess the results of the final task, find out their opinion on how useful these ICTs are, and ascertain whether they favour collaborative learning and are motivated by it. The answers to the questionnaire are processed quantitatively. In general, the students obtained good results in the task and assessed the tutorial videos and the posts of the Instagram account positively as contents for self-learning prior to classroom practice. They perceived the Instagram account of the Paremia journal as a very motivating resource and the Google Drive documents as a tool that intensifies collaborative learning. It can be concluded that the combined use of the three ICTs implemented in this study (tutorial videos, Google Drive documents, and Paremia's Instagram account) boosts collaborative learning, improves student motivation, and facilitates the acquisition of paremiological competence.

Investigating the Causes of Non-realization of Project Prediction and Proposal of a New Prediction Framework

Author(s): Radek Doskočil,Branislav Lacko / Language(s): English Issue: 3/2024

The main goal of the paper is to identify the causes of non-realization of project prediction and to propose a new framework for project prediction. A secondary goal is to explain why the approaches to project prediction used currently do not provide satisfactory results. The research was realised in the form of qualitative research using semi-structured interviews. The findings reveal that the main causes of non-realization of project prediction are follows: there is no methodology that could be practically used; simplified approaches to project prediction usually have low reliability for which reason they are generally unusable; suitable input data and information for project prediction are not available. The main contribution made by the paper is the identification of causes of non-realization of project prediction and the proposal of a new framework for project prediction that respects changing conditions during the lifecycle of the project and changes in the way of thinking in project prediction. A prerequisite for its application is a functioning system of knowledge management in projects, including the realization of post-project analysis.

Information Ethics in Light of Bibliometric Analyses: Discovering a Shift to Ethics of Artificial Intelligence

Author(s): Jela Steinerová,Miriam Ondrišová / Language(s): English Issue: 3/2024

The objectives of this study are to analyse the content of publications focused on the area of information ethics and discover patterns, knowledge and thematic trends. The main research question is: What is the intellectual and topical structure of the field of information ethics? We apply bibliometric analytical methods, including co-citation analysis (41 most cited authors out of 9947), co-word analysis (127 keywords), visualizations (maps) and analysis of time periods in strategic diagrams. These methods are interpreted with the use of previous content analyses and results of a Delphi study. The dataset covers publications between 1988 and 2023 collected from Web of Science using the search term “information ethics” in titles, keywords and abstracts (469 records). The study presents the research background and objectives, related research review, research methods and findings. Results are visualized in maps of topics and trends. We investigate the intellectual and thematic structure of information ethics, including numbers of publications, main disciplines, the intellectual structure (authors, topics, trends) and identify four time periods (1988-2005, 2006-2012, 2013-2019, 2020-2023) visualized by strategic diagrams. The study reveals the multidimensionality and multidisciplinary dynamic evolution of information ethics. The main trends are the topics of ethics of artificial intelligence and algorithms, data ethics, ethics of information literacy, informational privacy and dis/misinformation. We find that information ethics studies are embedded in wider contexts of the information crisis and design of public digital services. We propose education and information literacy courses related to ethical sensitivity, data ethics and the use of AI tools. The study contributes to bridging the gap between information ethics studies and human information interactions. Our results confirm the increasing interest in ethics of artificial intelligence.

STATE LEVEL AGREED-UPON FACTORS CONTRIBUTING TO MORE EFFECTIVE POLICYMAKING FOR PUBLIC SECTOR SERVICES FOR EFFECTIVE LOCAL-LEVEL WORK WITH NEETs

Author(s): HEIDI PAABORT,Mai Beilmann / Language(s): English Issue: 4/2021

Supporting young people who are not in education, employment or training (NEET) represents a new global policy challenge. There is a need to increase knowledge about policymaking connected to multidisciplinary approaches in order to provide better services for NEET youth. This study focuses on interpretations by specialists in the youth field in Estonia regarding the current public policy support system for NEETs and the associated factors affecting the achievement of policy goals. Based on document analysis and semi-structured interviews with specialists from all levels of the national NEET support system, this study demonstrates that the cross-sectoral and multi-level public policy system for NEETs lacks sufficient understanding of the central aims. The support strategy is, rather, created for use within a single structure and does not have a common meaning from a system-wide perspective. State-level coordinating parties need a common understanding at the beginning of policy creation concerning the system’s long-term aims, information flow and performance, agreed-upon roles transcending sectors, and process management across structures. This change would enable better outreach and integrated services at the local level and be accurately based on the needs of youth with heterogeneous backgrounds whilst avoiding barriers at the individual case level.

EXPLORING THE SECURITY OF THE DIGITAL SOCIETY: FOCUSING ON THE “PHYGITAL” SPACE. ADVOCATING FOR A NOVEL EDUCATIONAL MODEL TARGETING DIGITAL NATIVES – GEN Z AND ALPHA

Author(s): Paul Mândraș / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2024

The digital society represents the latest stage of societal evolution that humanity is currently experiencing. The advent of information technologies and digitalisation has had a profound effect on society, affecting not only the economy but also a multitude of other domains, including business, defence, politics, social aspects, and the environment. Digitalisation creates the fourth industrial revolution and a new type of social space, the “phygital”, that represents a convergence of physical and digital realms. It is therefore imperative to focus on the impact of digitalisation and assess digital dangers on society as a whole. We argue that these phenomena represent significant and tangible transformations with a disruptive impact on individuals, societies and human life. Consequently, rather than debating whether Generation Z is the least resilient generation, we emphasize the need for specialised training and education designed for digital natives–especially, Generation Z, who were born and raised during the digital revolution. We posit that such an educational training can ensure social success in the face of digital transformation.

Author(s): Anita Tóth-Bakos,Tímea Mészáros,Attila Mészáros,Agáta Csehiová / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2023

The main theme of the study is the use of the flipped classroom method as a possible alternative to learner-centred teaching. The main goal of the flipped classroom method is to make class time as active as possible for the students. In doing so, they learn through their own experiences and active work. This makes the learning environment more learner-centred, which has a positive impact on learners' attitudes, motivation and quality of educational process. The paper summarizes good practice in the application of the method, and the experience and results are gathered. The pilot application has been implemented at the Faculty of Education of J. Selye University in the academic year 2022/23 within the Erasmus+ project “Developing Flipped Methods for Teaching”. The aim of the study is to present in detail the steps and elements of the application of the flipped classroom with the focus being on classroom activities. The results of the pre-tests and post-tests, as well as student and teacher feedback, will be presented to assess the application of the method. The main aim of the work is to demonstrate the application of the method in practice as an inspiration to increase its widespread awareness and use.

Muzeele universitare ca instituții educaționale

Author(s): Claudia Popescu / Language(s): Romanian Issue: 1/2024

The modernisation of Romanian museums depends to a large extent on the modernisation of Romanian education. How do Romanian museums relate to the ideas of interpretation and participation? Museum education is the beginning of a journey, it is not just a delivery of information, it is the triggering of a process of questioning, experimentation and selfconstruction. Museum education needs to contain emotional elements and be tailored to the needs of visitors, especially the disadvantaged (from rural or low-income communities). Reflections on museum education in the School of Architecture Museum: guided tours for school children participating in the „De-a arhitectura” exhibition, a project for the education of young people from disadvantaged backgrounds around Sibiu, funded by CNFIS and the summer school in Dealu Frumos for architecture students.

Muzeul, un posibil vector formativ în domeniul industriilor creative. Studiu de caz: ROM(a)NOR Interferences

Author(s): Rareș Ioan Dina,Corina Dina / Language(s): Romanian Issue: 1/2024

In recent years, the connection between creativity, culture, innovation, and economic growth has become an essential focus of cultural policies in Romania and the European Union. The expectations and preferences of cultural consumers have evolved over the last 30 years, leading museums to adapt their strategies. It has become necessary for museums to diversify and expand their offers by emphasizing collective experiences, integrating participatory elements, highlighting educational roles, and preserving cultural identities. The „Dimitrie Gusti” National Village Museum has adopted this vision to become an influential educational entity promoting well-being. As part of this effort, the museum implemented the ROM(a)NOR Interferences project, supported by the EEA Grants 2014-2021 under the RO-Culture Program. This project aimed to promote and revitalize the cultural heritage of the Roma ethnic group through museology and social inclusion, with the goal of improving the situation of the Roma population. Among the project’s initiatives were seven training and initiation courses in creative industries and entrepreneurship, in which 140 Roma individuals participated. These courses included training in artisan skills such as metalworking, floristry, woodworking, weaving, jewelry making, and entrepreneurship.

Perceptions of Students Taking Media Literacy Course on Content of 6-7 February 2023 Earthquakes

Author(s): Ferihan AYAZ,Hakan Ayaz / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2024

This study aimed to examine the perceptions of students taking a media literacy course about the content shared during the Kahramanmaraş earthquakes within the framework of media literacy theories. Structured interviews were conducted with 30 students. The participants experienced problems such as access and infrastructure problems, conscious access restrictions, disinformation and panic news. They struggled with competencies such as “cognitive skills”, “emotional skills”, “moral skills” as pointed out by Potter (2016) and “critical thinking” emphasized by theorists such as Hobbs (2010) and Brown (1998). Participants mainly confirmed their information by following official sources, government, teyit.org, Kandilli Observatory, AFAD and AHBAP as a private aid association. Participants predominantly received information from X, but also used applications such as WhatsApp, Telegram, Instagram and Facebook, and confirmed information from multiple sources, as Kellner and Share (2019) point out. As Jenkins (2006) points out, although they were active participants, they experienced problems due to disinformation. This reveals that digital media literacy in particular needs to become widespread.
