Download or read book The Handbook of International Psychology written by Michael J. Stevens and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2005-07-05 with total page 664 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: World events have raised pressing questions of psychology as it is practiced all over the globe. The Handbook ofInternational Psychology chronicles the discipline of psychology as it evolves in different regions, in the hope of reducing the isolated, parochial, and ethnocentric nature of the American profession. It surveys the history, methodology, education and training, and the future of psychology in nine distinct regions across six continents. They represent long histories in the field, such as the United States and the United Kingdom, emerging practices, such as Uganda, Korea and Spain, the lesser-known philosophies of China and histories marked by massive social change, as in Poland and Iran. The editors have carefully selected contributors, as well as an editorial board created especially for this project. Each chapter follows a uniform outline, unifying the volume as a whole, but allowing for the cultural diversity and status of psychology in each country.
Download or read book Language written by Annikki Koskensalo and published by LIT Verlag Münster. This book was released on 2012 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As speakers of different languages interact, language contact will occur. Language contact will necessarily lead to language change for both parties involved in such contact. As languages change, the issue of competence becomes problematic. Who has the right to say what language will be taught in schools, or what kind of language will be published in the press and spoken in the media in a world where languages constantly change? The articles in this collection refer to several language areas in Europe, from the North (Scandinavia), the South (Spain / Balkan), the East (Ukraine / Russia), as well as the Center (Austria / Germany) and includes one contribution on Canada. They present different cases of language competence and assessment, languages in contact in different settings, and language changes which are related to applied linguistics, both from a sociolinguistic and an educational linguistic point of view.

Download or read book ESTAD STICA APLICADA A PSICOLOG A Y EDUCACI N written by Agustín Dousdebés Boada and published by Pontificia Universidad Católica del Ecuador. This book was released on 2021-12-02 with total page 431 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: El propósito de este estudio es la de presentar un formato más amigable en el estudio de la Estadística si se compara con otros textos con la utilización de un lenguaje formal pero sencillo de entender y evitando un nivel de desarrollo matemático muy elevado. Cualquier tratado sobre Estadística suele provocar dos tipos de reacción, la primera y más común es de alejamiento y hasta de cierta aversión dado que es una materia tradicionalmente considerada difícil y, según muchas personas alejadas de la Matemática, poco útil para sus intereses. La segunda, aunque menos común, es a la que pertenece a algunos seguidores de esta ciencia con la necesidad de dar un aporte para su aplicación en muchos y variados ámbitos del quehacer profesional y estudiantil. En esta publicación se propone el uso de Excel como herramienta básica para la resolución numérica de los distintos ejercicios en cada tema propuesto y además, se explica con detalle algunas funciones que no siempre están desarrolladas de manera explícita ni en otros textos, ni en guías de uso de este software, de tal manera que quienes no conocen esta herramienta puedan con facilidad acercarse con mayor seguridad al desarrollo de los ejercicios planteados; es por ello que antes de iniciar los ejercicios de cada tema, se hace una explicación del proceso a seguir en Excel. El libro proporciona dos tipos de ejercicios, estos son: ejercicios resueltos y ejercicios propuestos. Al final de cada tema se plantean unos y otros y, además, se desarrollan los ejercicios impares de aquellos que se han propuesto para que sean una guía para el alumno. Es importante indicar que el autor hace la puntualización respecto a un término que con alguna frecuencia utiliza en distintos temas que se abordan en la presente publicación y es el referente a "cociente intelectual". En algunos libros este término se utiliza igual que en el presente, pero en otros, al igual que muchos profesionales también, utilizan el término "coeficiente intelectual".

Book excerpt: Este libro está dedicado a la divulgación científica y es una obra de colección destinada tanto para aficionados a las orquídeas como para científicos interesados en el estudio de especies de las Islas Galápagos. El propósito fundamental es reconocer las orquídeas existentes en las islas y vincularlas con temas esenciales como la educación ambiental y la conservación. Esto puede dar pie para el surgimiento de diferentes trabajos de investigación sobre este tema u otros relacionados. Que este trabajo, perfectible por lo demás, sea una invitación para que los amantes de estas plantas, los científicos ecuatorianos o extranjeros se interesen por las orquídeas de Galápagos y se inclinen por estudiarlas. Si bien la ilustración o arte botánico es el eje central de este documento de las orquídeas de Galápagos, el interés previo de buscarlas ha sido la matriz para que esta publicación se haga realidad. Por ello una parte importante que se relata hace relación a las diferentes visitas y otros esfuerzos o eventos que han tenido lugar a partir de 2016.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Behaviour analysis has tradionally been one of the main areas and main approaches to psychology. It is based on laboratory research and in conceptualizations from distinguished figures of the discipline, such as Skinner, Pavlov, Mach, and even Watson and Thorndike. It has generated a science (the experimental analysis of behaviour), a philosophy (behaviourism), and numerous practical applications (applied behaviour analysis). For several decades it was even considered to be the dominant paradigm in psychology. This special issue contains scientific articles in the main areas of behaviour analysis, both as a laboratory science and as an applied discipline. It covers representative research and applications of behaviour analysis at the beginning of the 21st century. The authors come from countries including the United States, China, Mexico, Spain, Belgium, France, Switzerland, Belgium, Colombia, Poland, Greece. This special issue is an indication of the international relevance of this area of psychology, and its current state.
