Researchers in social semiotics have shown students’ emotions to be associated with their positioning, an association which contributes to students’ cognitive processes and, therefore, to their learning. Nevertheless, this association between emotions and positioning, especially with regard to very young students, has not been extensively investigated with qualitative methods. The present work considers the positioning–emotions association in the context of third-grade students using digital technology to study relationships among quadrilaterals. The entire learning process of eight students, divided into four pairs, was recorded on video; the transcripts were then analyzed using qualitative and quantitative methods to understand the relationship between positioning and emotion constructs. A chi-square test was run for the transcribed data to find the correlations between constructs for positioning and emotions. We found a strong connection between outsiderness and boredom and between leadership confidence; moderate connections were found between outsiderness and powerless, help-seeking and confusion, and collaboration and interestedness. We used the discursive framework for connecting positioning with emotions to encode the data and triangulate our qualitative and quantitative findings. By these means, we were able to draw conclusions regarding the role of digital technology in determining students’ positioning and of the teacher in modifying undesirable positioning and its associated emotions.

ABSTRACTSociety has been transforming throughout the last years. The easy access to Internet has made two important institutions, family and school, cope to new challenges. Teenagers in different countries have access to Internet. However, understanding how these changes affect them, their families, their education, their community and the risks they cope help us get to empiric research. The main inquiry is to identify the use and the role parents have around the Internet and technological devices. The research is based in a mixed approach, combining qualitative and quantitative methods, using a questionnaire and a focus group to collect data.RESUMENLa sociedad ha venido transformándose durante las últimas décadas. El fácil acceso al Internet ha hecho que dos importantes instituciones, la familia y la escuela, se enfrenten a nuevos retos. En distintos países alrededor del mundo, los adolescentes tienen acceso al Internet. Sin embargo, para entender como estos cambios los afecta a ellos, a sus familias, a su educación, a su comunidad y los riesgos que enfrentan, es posible llevar a cabo la investigación empírica. La pregunta central es conocer el uso y el rol que tienen los padres en torno al Internet y a los dispositivos tecnológicos. Como parte de la metodología, la construcción del objeto de estudio se basa en la implementación de un enfoque mixto. La combinación de enfoques cualitativos y cuantitativos conlleva al diseño de dos fases en las que se utilizarán dos herramientas, la encuesta y el grupo focal. Contacto principal: [email protected]

Purpose This paper focuses on the competencies and skills needed in preparing graduates of urban planning schools to meet the real-world challenges of professional practices. The present work explores the gap between skills and knowledge required to excel in the urban planning discipline and professional practices. Design/methodology/approach This research utilises a mix of qualitative and quantitative methods. This study depends on collecting data from descriptive and statistical analysis based on two streams. The first comes from a survey launched among students of urban planning. The second is interviews scheduled with academics that are also practitioners. Findings The results outline the missing correlation between what Egyptian students learn in schools of urban planning and professional practices. The findings show that academics, students, and graduates share the same experiences about the education system. Academics agreed that graduates need to be more skilful rather than knowledgeable. The discussion shows that the undefined role of the planner in Egypt influenced the mismatching between the current demand and supply of competencies and skills offered by planning schools. The concluded remarks mentioned that communication skills and negotiation skills are the most crucial skills for graduates, in addition to information finding and data-processing skills. Originality/value This research has particular advantages in presenting a model of competencies as results of scanning the expectations of Egyptian students and new graduates vs professional practices. The contribution is in answering the question of what skills students of the urban planning programs should learn in order to meet the continued changes in professional practices.

Agricultural Investments

More than a decade has passed since the triple crises of food, energy and finance in the period 2007–2008. Those events turned global investor interest to agriculture and its commodities and thereafter the leasing of tens of millions of hectares of land. This article reviews and synthesizes the available evidence regarding the agricultural investments that have taken place in Ethiopia since that time. We use a systematic review approach to identify literature from the Web of Science and complement that with additional literature found via Google Scholar. Qualitative and quantitative methods are used to analyze the available literature. In so doing, we raise questions of data quality, by analyzing the evidence base used by many studies (the Land Matrix database) and compare it with data we obtained from the Government of Ethiopia. We find that while the Land Matrix is the largest available database, it appears to present only a fraction of the reality. In critically assessing the literature, we identify areas that have been under-researched or are missing from the literature, namely assessments of gendered impacts, the role of diaspora and domestic investors, interdisciplinary approaches (e.g., integrating climate change, biodiversity, and water), and studies that move beyond technical assessment, such as looking at the impacts on traditional knowledge and socio-cultural systems.

This paper aims to explore the frequencies of using the Attitudinal resources in Shange‟s Postmodern American drama “For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide/When the Rainbow is Enuf”. The purpose of that investigation is to make a comparative analysis among all three types of Attitude categories which are: Appreciation, Judgment, and Affect. In order to accomplish the role of being the spokesperson of black American women in the United States of America by delivering the real agony and oppression that those people faced because of their class, gender, and race. The playwright has presented and cantered on seven black women who encountered some form of neglect, harassment, and abuse; either emotionally, sexually, or physically. The analysing process has presented that the playwright had utilized many linguistic resources; „Judgement‟. This category is considered as one of the major Attitudinal systems in the discourse-semantic appraisal mode within Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL) for interpersonal meanings. Judgement is connected with the evaluation of black women‟s characters as well as their behaviours in this literary text. This article intends to discover the reason behind the heavy use of that category compared with the other two types of Attitudinal system. The paper has adopted qualitative and quantitative methods to conduct the objectives of the Attitudinal resources in the selected data sets. This paper has concluded that in the Attitude category, Judgement turned to be the most presentation system comparing with the other Attitudinal types which are Affect and Appreciation. Moreover, within the scope of Judgement „Propriety‟ and „Tenacity‟ have exceeded other judgmental subtypes.

Children's Attitudes

The aim of the study is to define the attitudes of preschool children towards four different environmental subjects in terms of their habits of consumption, protection of environment, recycling-reusing and living habits and to analyze the reflection of residential area to the attitude towards the environment. In this study, where ecocentric and anthropocentric attitudes to the environment were examined, design of phenomenology was used as a method of qualitative research. The study group in the research is composed of 41 children living in the rural (n=20) and urban (n=21) areas. The data were collected by using the interview form of The Children’s Attitudes toward the Environment Scale-Preschool Version (CATES-PV). During data analysis, the qualitative and quantitative methods were used together. In this respect, descriptive analysis was used to identify the attitudes of children related to environmental issues, and Chi-square test for two variables was used to determine the reflection of residential area to the attitude towards the environment. As a result of the study, it was concluded that the environmental attitudes of children to their habits of consumption, recycling and living was ecocentric at first. However, when the reasons for such attitudes were examined, these children were observed to have anthropocentric attitudes mostly. It was also determined that the children mostly had an ecocentric attitude only in the sub-dimension of environment protection. Moreover, the residential area of the children, whether it was rural or urban,was not a significant variable in the differentiation of their attitudes towards the environment. ÖzetAraştırmanın amacı, okul öncesi eğitime devam eden çocukların tüketim alışkanlıkları, çevreyi koruma, geri dönüşüm-yeniden kullanım ve yaşam alışkanlıkları bakımından dört farklı çevresel konuya yönelik tutumlarının belirlenmesi ve yaşadıkları yerin çevreye yönelik tutuma yansımasının incelenmesidir. Çevreye yönelik tutumların ekosantrik ve antroposentrik bakış açısı çerçevesinde incelendiği bu çalışmada nitel araştırma yöntemlerinden fenomenoloji deseni kullanılmıştır. Araştırmanın çalışma grubunu kırsal (n=20) ve kentsel (n=21) bölgelerde yaşayan toplam 41 çocuk oluşturmaktadır. Araştırma verileri The Children’s Attitudes toward the Environment Scale-Preschool Version (CATES-PV) görüşme formu aracılığıyla toplanmış ve verilerin analiz sürecinde nitel ve nicel analiz yöntemleri bir arada kullanılmıştır. Çocukların çevre konularına yönelik tutumlarını belirlemek için betimsel analiz kullanılırken; yaşanılan yerin çevreye yönelik tutumlar üzerindeki yansımasını belirlemek amacıyla İki Değişken için Kay-Kare Testi uygulanmıştır. Araştırma sonucunda, çocukların tüketim alışkanlıkları, geri dönüşüm ve yaşam alışkanlıkları konularına ilişkin çevresel tutumlarının ilk bakışta ekosantrik olduğu ancak bu tutumlarının nedenleri incelendiğinde çoğunlukla antroposentrik tutuma sahip oldukları belirlenmiştir. Çocukların sadece çevreyi koruma alt boyutunda çoğunlukla ekosantrik tutuma sahip oldukları saptanmıştır. Ayrıca çocukların yaşadıkları yerin kentsel veya kırsal olmasının, çevreye yönelik tutumların farklılaşmasında önemli bir değişken olmadığı tespit edilmiştir.

ABSTRACTThe analysis about communication of Fashion and Beauty shows the creation of a uniform, manipulated and exclusively physical vision of self. The goal of this paper is to assess the negative influence of this kind of self image on self esteem. Firstly, literature review is done about two concepts: “self concept” and “self esteem”. Secondly, it has been done a desk study related to main economic indicators linked to Fashion and Beauty’s industries. Thirdly, research methodology was applied using descriptive exploratory qualitative and quantitative methods (content analysis, focus group, personal interviews, surveys) among different target (8-37 years old average) affected by the communications of these industries. It is showed a low self esteem related to physical appearance. A growing exposure to images based on unreal bodies makes frustrated and unhappy people. Although people in general are aware of this problem, they find difficult to fight against it. It is necessary to appeal to brands and media responsibility. Moreover, the role of education authorities, families and society is a key to develop a more human approach not only based on physical appearance.RESUMENEl análisis sobre la comunicación de los sectores de la moda y la belleza muestra la creación de una visión uniforme, manipulada y exclusivamente física de la persona. El propósito de este artículo es evaluar la influencia negativa de este tipo de imagen de la persona en su autoestima. En primer lugar, realizamos la revisión bibliográfica de los términos "autoestima" y "auto concepto". En segundo lugar, se llevó a cabo un estudio de gabinete relativo a los principales indica-dores económicos vinculados con los sectores de la moda y la belleza. Y en tercer lugar, se usaron métodos de investigación exploratorios usando herramientas cualitativas y cuantitativas (análisis de contenido, entrevistas personales y encuestas) en diferentes target (ciudadanos entre 8 y 45 años) afectados por la comunicación de estos sectores. Se ha demostrado una baja autoestima relacionada con el aspecto físico. Una creciente exposición a las imágenes solo centradas en cuerpos irreales hace personas frustradas e infelices. Aunque la gente en general es consciente de este problema, encuentra difícil combatirlo.

Abstract As a usage-based approach to the study language, cognitive linguistics is theoretically well poised to apply quantitative methods to the analysis of corpus and experimental data. In this article, I review the historical circumstances that led to the quantitative turn in cognitive linguistics and give an overview of statistical models used by cognitive linguists, including chi-square test, Fisher test, Binomial test, t-test, ANOVA, correlation, regression, classification and regression trees, naïve discriminative learning, cluster analysis, multi-dimensional scaling, and correspondence analysis. I stress the essential role of introspection in the design and interpretation of linguistic studies, and assess the pros and cons of the quantitative turn. I also make a case for open access science and appropriate archiving of linguistic data.

Background:Each individual has unique personality traits which affect decision-making process. Those traits are defined as cautiousness, openness to experience, decision difficulty, agency, emotion neutrality, goal orientation, intuitive awareness, plan orientation, pro-activity, and rationality.Objective:The study aimed to show how established personality traits as dimensions of decision-making can be used to classify four distinct decision-making styles. The personality styles are defined as avoidant, designer, flexible, and auditor styles.Methods:A global survey was conducted to gather information on individual decision-making styles. Quantitative methods, such as tabular analysis, mean score equivalency test, correlation analysis, discriminant analysis and chi-square test for association have been used.Results:We found that there are significant gender differences in personality styles. This is partially due to the differences in emotion-neutrality scores among men and women. Female respondents are more emotional, a finding that is common in educational workers.Conclusion:The results reinforce that gender differences in emotions exist. For a socially interactive occupation such as education, being emotional might lead to better communication.
