El Debate, técnica didáctica que permite mejorar la capacidad de argumentación de los estudiantes

Morote Garratt, Edward 02 November 2020 (has links)
El proyecto de innovación se denomina “El debate, técnica didáctica que permite mejorar la capacidad de argumentación de los estudiantes”, surge ante la necesidad de que los estudiantes de la I.E Ricardo Palma 5099 de la región Callao, en su gran mayoría presentan problemas para argumentar sus posturas cuando participan en las sesiones de aprendizaje del área de Desarrollo Personal Ciudadanía y Cívica. Esto se debe a múltiples causas entre las que podemos considerar que algunos docentes aún emplean estrategias metodológicas tradicionales enfocadas más en el proceso de enseñanza que en el proceso de aprendizaje. Asimismo, otros docentes no manejan técnicas didácticas que desarrollan la capacidad de argumentación como el debate. El objetivo central de este proyecto es que los docentes apliquen la técnica del debate para mejorar la capacidad de argumentación de sus estudiantes. Los conceptos que sustentan la innovación son el concepto de adolescencia media, el pensamiento abstracto, la capacidad de la argumentación y la técnica didáctica del debate. Para la construcción del proyecto de innovación educativa se siguieron los siguientes pasos: La elaboración de una matriz FODA, árboles de problemas y objetivos y una matriz de consistencia para determinar la lógica de intervención. Al finalizar, la implementación del proyecto se espera contar con docentes mejor preparados que apliquen la técnica del debate para mejorar la capacidad de argumentación de sus estudiantes. Finalmente, se ha previsto que el debate es una de las mejores técnicas didácticas para desarrollar la capacidad de argumentación de los estudiantes.

Den politiska debatten om korruption : En kritisk diskursanalys av debatten om korruption i riksdagen / The political debate on corruption : A critical discourse analysis of the debate on corruption in the parliament

Persson, Ebba January 2023 (has links)
Transparency International published its annual corruption perceptions index in 2022, where Sweden obtained the highest measured level of perceived corruption in eleven years. At about the same time, an investigation into corruption and undue influence was discarded by the newly appointed government. The purpose of this thesis is to examine two current political debates about corruption through Norman Faircloughs model for critical discourse analysis. In more detail, the objectives are to study which discourses that can be distinguished, the characteristics of the discursive struggle and which discourse that dominates the Swedish corruption debate. In this thesis, political debates are considered as usable contexts to illustrate both contradiction and consensus regarding the corruption in Sweden. By using critical discourse analysis as an approach, the ambition is to visualize how politicians construct the image of the increased corruption and to examine how certain statements are presented as more evident or true than others. This study shows that there are four discourses that can be distinguished in the two political debates on corruption: privatization, increasing crime rate, accountability and openness and trust. The observed discursive struggle generally has high interdiscursivity, a few cases of intertextuality, and seems to be open to changes. The discourse that dominates the order of discourse is "the increasing crime rate". The results indicate that current societal problems, that are mainly highlighted by the ruling politicians, appear to have an impact on the political discussion about corruption in Sweden.

Sweden and changing UN operations : A qualitative content analysis of the Swedish government’s and parliament's approach to MINUSMA

Bernhardsson, Anna January 2023 (has links)
In this thesis, I investigate to what extent and how the normative changes in UN peace operations have left an imprint on Swedish foreign policy tradition. Departing from a constructivist point of view, this thesis explores to what extent the changing international norms on UN peace operations translate to the national level. By way of this, the thesis aims to contribute to the theoretical discussion on how international norms and ideas imprint on a national level. The analysis focuses on the heightened threat level, the increased authorisation of the use of force, the inclusion of new military domains and humanitarian and civilian aspects. The Swedish approach is analysed through parliamentary debates and government propositions on MINUSMA between 2021-2022, where MINUSMA represents the normative changes UN peace operations have undergone. The material is analysed through qualitative content analysis. The results of the analysis indicate that Sweden aligns regarding the acceptance of increased military influence over MINUSMA and also accepts the heightened threat level. At the same time, the mission’s own use of force is played down by the government and parliamentarians, instead choosing to emphasise civilian and humanitarian factors. As a result, the alignment regarding the aspect of the use of force is more difficult to draw firm conclusions around.

Tre svenska riksdagspartiers konstruering av flyktingar : En kvalitativ diskursanalys / Three Swedish parliamentary parties' construction of refugees : A qualitative discourse analysis

Paulsson, Astrid January 2023 (has links)
Sweden has long been known for an extensive and generous migration policy in relation to the rest of the European countries. Since the 2015 migration crisis Sweden took a turn by implementing several measures in order to restrain the comprehensive immigration. The topic of migration has since been highly debated, not in the least within parliamentary debates. Thus the purpose of this study is to examine whether three of the Swedish parliamentary parties the Moderates, Social Democrats and the Sweden Democrats use a securitizing discourse on the topic of migration in parliamentary debates during the years 2019, 2020 and 2021. The essay used a qualitative text analysis to conduct the study. The results showed that a securitizing language was used by the Moderates and the Sweden Democrats while the Social Democrats showed little to no indications. The analysis of the two securitizing parties could also confirm their use of two specific securitizing strategies. The study also concluded that the general migration discourse of each of the securitizing parties showed an increase of strengthened positions towards refugees through the analyzed years.

Assessing Argumentation Skills

Bruun, Karen Sybille January 2024 (has links)
Skills of argument have attracted the attention of educators but remain challenging to both assess and develop. In contrast to the traditional essay, dialogic argument requires reflection on and coordination of one’s own claims with those of an interlocutor. Investigating a tool for assessing an individual’s dialogic argument skill is an objective of the present work. Building on an earlier study by the author and colleagues, and informed by philosophical writings on objectives of argumentation, undertaken here is a conceptual analysis of instances of dialogic argumentation by skilled arguers in order to discern its essential characteristics. The identified set of characteristics is then used as a basis for evaluating the argumentation skills exhibited by a sample of sixth grade students. A practical purpose is development of an assessment tool for use in educational contexts, identifying the range and variation of argumentation skills individuals bring to dialog. A value of the individual instrument referred to as a constructed dialog and developed and employed here, is that it overcomes the statistical problem created by lack of independence between participants in a dialog which requires that the unit of analysis be the pair-- thereby defeating the objective of assessing the skill of an individual. Empirical results document that young adolescents display competence in some basic skills of argumentation but, even following an intervention designed to build and exercise such skills, they continue to use these sparingly and to lack other equally fundamental ones. Discussion addresses implications for education, as well as the potential for use of the constructed dialog as an assessment tool for evaluating an individual student’s skill in argumentation and the associated understanding it reflects regarding the nature and objectives of argumentation.

The neoliberal dream of RUT : An analysis of constructions of equality within the Swedish parliamentary debate

Ljungberg, Hanna January 2022 (has links)
The buying of domestic services in Sweden has become an increasingly privatized practice, something that correlates with the global feminization and racialisation of domestic labour. Although RUT deductions within the domestic sector historically have been a criticised phenomenon, it is today representing a politically normalised labour market measure. In using a WPR-method, social constructions of equality in parliamentary debates are examined with the theoretical perspectives of post-colonial feminism. The result indicate that the parliamentary social constructions of equality are connected to a neoliberal narrative where women’s increased time in the labour market equals female emancipation.

On Language and Structure in Polarized Communities

Lai, Mirko 08 April 2019 (has links)
Tesis por compendio / [ES] En esta tesis abordamos el problema de la detección de las opiniones (stance detection, SD) en las redes sociales, centrándose en los debates políticos polarizados en Twitter. La SD consiste en determinar automáticamente si el autor de una publicación está a favor o en contra de un objetivo de interés, o si no se puede inferir la opinión. Nos ocupamos de temas políticos como las elecciones políticas y los referendos y, como resultado, los objetivos son tanto personas como referendos. También exploramos las comunicaciones que tienen lugar en estos debates polarizados, arrojando luz sobre las dinámicas de comunicación entre personas que tienen opiniones en acuerdo o en conflicto, enfocándonos en particular en la observación del cambio de opiniones (opinion shifting). Proponemos modelos de aprendizaje automático para la SD como si fuera un problema de clasificación binaria. Exploramos características basadas en el contenido del texto del tweet, además usamos características basadas en información contextual que no emerge directamente del texto. Utilizando el corpus de benchmark propuesto para la tarea compartida sobre la SD realizado para SemEval 2016, exploramos la contribución que el estudio de las relaciones entre el objetivo de interés y las otras entidades involucradas en el debate proporciona a la SD. Al participar en la tarea ``Stance and Gender Detection in Tweets on Catalan Independence'' organizado para IberEval 2017, hemos propuesto otras características textuales y contextuales para la SD en tweets en español y en catalán. Explorando la SD desde una perspectiva multilingüe, hemos creado un corpus de tweets en francés y uno en italiano. La extensión multilingüe de nuestro modelo (multiTACOS) muestra que la SD está influenciada más por los diferentes estilos utilizados por los usuarios para comunicar la opinión sobre objetivos de diferentes tipos (personas o referendos) en lugar del idioma utilizado. Con el objetivo de recuperar información contextual sobre la red social de los usuarios de Twitter (generalmente las tareas compartidas solo consisten en el contenido del tweet, dejando de lado la información sobre el usuario), hemos creado otros dos conjuntos de datos, uno en inglés y uno en italiano, respectivamente, sobre el Brexit (TW-BREXIT) y sobre el referéndum constitucional italiano (ConRef-STANCE-ita). En ambos casos de estudio, mostramos que los usuarios tienden a agruparse en grupos con ideas similares. Por este motivo, el modelo que explota el conocimiento de la comunidad social a la que el autor del tweet pertenece, supera los resultados obtenidos utilizando solo las funciones basadas en el contenido de la publicación. Además, la evidencia muestra que los usuarios utilizan diferentes tipos de comunicación según el nivel de acuerdo con la opinión del interlocutor, por ejemplo, las relaciones de amistad, los retweets y las citas (quote) son más comunes entre los usuarios relacionados, mientras que las respuestas (replies) se utilizan a menudo para interactuar con usuarios que tienen diferentes posiciones. Al abordar la SD desde una perspectiva diacrónica, también observamos tanto el cambio de opinión como la mitigación del debate hacia posiciones neutrales después del resultado de la votación. Además, hemos observado que tener contacto con una variedad más amplia de opiniones puede influir en la propensión a cambiar de opinión. Finalmente, mostramos que las características basadas en una representación gráfica de un dominio de interés no se limitan a la SD, sino que se puede aplicar a diferentes escenarios. Al proponer otra tarea de clasificación que realiza la identificación del talento en el deporte, especialmente en el estudio de caso del tenis de mesa, mostramos que las métricas de redes basadas en la centralidad son una señal fuerte para el talento y pueden usarse para entrenar un modelo de algoritmo de aprendizaje automático para enfrentar esta / [CA] En aquesta tesi doctoral abordem el problema de la detecció de posició (stance detection, SD) en els mitjans de comunicació social, especialment centrat en els debats polítics polaritzats a Twitter. La SD consisteix a determinar automàticament si l'autor d'una publicació està a favor o en contra d'un objectiu o tema d'interès, o si l'opinió envers d'aquest objectiu o tema determinat no es pot inferir. Ens ocupem de temes polítics com ara esdeveniments electorals i, en conseqüència, els temes d'interès són, en concret, la SD en vers dirigents polítics i referèndums. També explorem les comunicacions que es duen a terme en aquests debats polaritzats, que posen de manifest la dinàmica de les comunicacions entre les persones que tenen opinions concordants o contrastades, especialment centrant-nos en l'observació del canvi de les opinions. Proposem models d'aprenentatge automàtic per abordar la SD com un problema de classificació. Explorem les funcions basades en el contingut textual del tweet, però també les funcions basades en la informació contextual que no afloren directament del text. Utilitzem el conjunt de dades de referència en anglès proposat per a les tasques compartides sobre SD celebrades a SemEval 2016, per explorar la contribució a la SD d'investigar les relacions entre l'objectiu d'interès i les altres entitats implicades en el debat. En la participació a la tasca compartida de ``Stance and Gender Detection in Tweets on Catalan Independence'' celebrada a IberEval 2017, es van proposar altres trets textuals i contextuals per detectar la posició dels autors dels tweets, escrits en espanyol i en català, envers la independència de Catalunya. L'extensió multilingüe del model de SD (multiTACOS) mostra que la SD es veu afectada pels diferents estils que utilitzen els usuaris per comunicar la posició envers objectius de diferents tipus (persones o referèndum) més que la llengua utilitzada. Amb l'objectiu de recuperar informació contextual sobre la xarxa social dels usuaris de Twitter (les tasques compartides solen publicar només el contingut del tweet i deixen de banda, en canvi, la informació sobre la persona que escriu el tweet), vam crear dos conjunts més de dades, un en anglès i un en italià, el corpus Brexit (TW-BREXIT) i el corpus del referèndum constitucional italià (ConRef-STANCE-ita) respectivament. En els dos casos, demostrem que els usuaris tendeixen a agrupar-se en grups d'opinió o creences similars. Per aquest motiu, el model aprofita el coneixement de la comunitat social en línia al qual pertany el tweeter i supera els resultats obtinguts utilitzant només funcions basades en el contingut de la publicació. És més, els experiments també mostren que els usuaris fan servir diferents tipus de comunicació en funció del nivell d'acord amb l'opinió del seu interlocutor, és a dir, les relacions d'amistat (friendship), retweets i cotitzacions (quotes) són més freqüents entre els usuaris amb idees afins, mentre que les respostes (replies) s'utilitzen sovint per interactuar amb els usuaris que tenen posicions o opinions diferents. A l'hora d'abordar la SD des d'una perspectiva diacrònica, també observem el canvi d'opinió i la mitigació del debat cap a una posició no alineament després del resultat de la votació. A continuació, observem que l'accés a una major diversitat de punts de vista pot influir en la propensió a canviar l'opinió personal. Finalment, mostrem que la utilitat de les funcions basades en una representació gràfica d'un domini d'interès no es limita a la SD, sinó que es pot aplicar a diferents escenaris. Proposar una altra tasca de classificació que realitzi la identificació de talent en l'esport, especialment centrada en l'estudi de cas del tennis de taula, mostrem que les xarxes mètriques basades en la centralitat són un fort senyal per a detectar el talent i també es pot utilitzar per a l'entrenament d'un model d'algorisme d'ap / [EN] In this thesis, we address the problem of stance detection (SD) in social media focusing on polarized political debates in Twitter. SD consists in automatically determine whether the author of a post is in favor or against a target of interest, or whether the opinion toward the given target can not be inferred. We deal with political topics such as electoral events and consequently the targets of interest are both politicians and referendums. We also explore the communications which take place in these polarized debates shedding some light on dynamics of communications among people having concordant or contrasting opinions, particularly focusing on observing opinions' shifting. We propose machine learning models for addressing SD as a classification problem. We explore features based on the textual content of the tweet, but also features based on contextual information that do no emerge directly from the text. Using the English benchmark dataset proposed for the shared tasks on SD held at SemEval 2016, we explore the contribution on SD of investigating the relations among the target of interest and the other entities involved in the debate. Participating to the ``Stance and Gender Detection in Tweets on Catalan Independence'' shared task held at IberEval 2017, we proposed other textual and contextual based features for detecting stance on Spanish and Catalan tweets. With the main aim of facing SD in a multilingual perspective and having an homogeneous setting for multi-language comparisons, we collected tweets in French and Italian also. The multilingual extension of our SD model (multiTACOS) shows that SD is affected by the different styles used by users for communicating stance towards target of different types (persons or referendum) more than the used language. With the aim of retrieving contextual information about the social network of Twitter's users, we created other two datasets, one in English and one in Italian, respectively about the Brexit (TW-BREXIT) and the Italian Constitutional referendum (ConRef-STANCE-ita). In both the case studies, we show that users tend to aggregate themselves in like-minded groups. For this reason, the model takes advantage of knowing the online social community the tweeter belongs to and outperforms the results obtained by using only features based on the content of the post. Furthermore, experiments show that users use different type of communication depending on the level of agreement with the interlocutor's opinion, i.e., friendship, retweets, and quote relations are more common among like-minded users, while replies are often used for interacting with users having different stances. Addressing SD in a diachronic perspective, we also observe both opinion shifting and a mitigation of the debate towards an unaligned position after the outcome of the vote. Then, we observe that accessing to a larger diversity of point of views can influence the propensity to change the personal opinion. We finally show that the usefulness of features based on a graph representation of a domain of interest is not limited to SD, but can be applied to different scenarios. Proposing another classification task that performs talent identification in sport, particularly focusing on the case study of table tennis, we show that networks metrics based on centrality are strong signal for talent and can be used for training a machine learning algorithm model for this task too. / Lai, M.

Att lyssna eller inte lyssna : En diskursanalys av den svenska ljudboksdebatten / To Listen, or Not to Listen : A Discourse Analysis of the Swedish Audiobook Debate

Hellström, Hannes January 2024 (has links)
This thesis explores public discourses surrounding audiobooks as manifested in cultural articles in Swedish newspapers. The aim is to gain a deeper understanding about values and opinions about the audio book as a literary media. The method employed is discourse analysis, with a theoretical frame- work built mainly on Ernesto Laclau and Chantal Mouffes discourse theory. The articles were gath- ered from Sweden’s four biggest newspapers, totaling 45 articles between the years 2016-2023. Four major themes were identified in the material: the form and content of the audiobook, the act of reading versus listening, the commodification of literature, and the economic aspects of the audiobook market. Further, the study identifies both pessimistic and optimistic discourses. Pessi- mistic discourses see audiobooks as a threat to traditional literary forms and quality, while optimistic discourses highlight the potential of audiobooks to expand the concept of literature and promote reading. The findings contribute to a deeper understanding of how audiobooks are discussed and debated in Swedish media, reflecting broader societal and cultural concerns. This is a two years master’s thesis in Library and Information Science.
