08 - Nanotechnologies : débat d’anticipation et débat impossible ?
La place de la science dans la société s’est modifiée au cours des dernières décennies, à la fois du fait des scientifiques eux-mêmes, mais aussi des risques liés à l’idée de progrès qu’elle pouvait incarner, en particulier dans les sciences dites exactes. De plus, la libéralisation croissante de l’économie, la construction d’un espace politique supra-national et le mouvement de réformes des années quatrevingt-dix en Europe sont autant de questions qui interrogent le

La qualità dell'apprendimento è il vero segreto del successo di un sistema educativo, e non avrebbe senso fare battaglie globali per mandare tutti in una scuola o in una università dove si insegnano nozioni inutili, con metodologie sorpassate o repressive. Al di là delle ovvie considerazioni sulla dotazione minima di attrezzature didattiche e infrastrutture necessarie affinché una scuola o una università funzioni decentemente, vi sono almeno cinque elementi non materiali che caratteriz

However, the nature, direction and magnitude of this relationship are unknown. Consequently, there have been many speculative claims about this relationship and almost none of them are supported with empirical research studies. In order to investigate these claims and to provide a testable framework for their potential contributions to architectural education, this study a
