The purpose of this thesis is to investigate the factors, which lead to the observed low rate of ICTs adoption in the process of Maths teaching in the secondary education in Greece. The use of ICTs by the Maths teachers is distinguished in two categories: use for the teachers’ own personal needs and use in class.By using an ecosystemic approach, the ICTs are specified as invaders into the school environment – the ecosystem – disturbing the existing balance among its elements – computer applications and teachers. The empirical exercise included the 237 secondary education schools in the Prefecture of Thessaloniki together with the 742 Maths teachers of these schools. Semi-structured interviews and a questionnaire survey were carried out in 2006-07. The collected data were analyzed by using the Latent Variable Models. The LISREL software was used.The results show a strong two-way relationship between Maths-teachers’ use of ICTs for their own needs and their use in class. “Fear” of ICTs use in class, as well as teacher-collaboration, and favorable-to-ICTs school environment are among the factors which affect significantly the ICTs adoption in class.","PeriodicalId":302999,"journal":{"name":"Journal of International Cooperation and Development","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-05-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123638949","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is thus imperative that organisations have in place flexible organisational cultures that are swift to adopt and embrace change that demands greater levels and lengths of innovation and creativity. This enables organisations to take significant strides in opening up to change and compete in the increasingly competitive global economy. The study adopted the desk research approach, qualitatively reviewing extensive literature, which is to yield detailed reported information, and this conviction of enquiry enables a deeper understanding of the effectiveness. The findings thus reveal that changing organisational culture is an uphill task although a flexible organisational culture is fundamental to organisations existence and capability to compete in a dynamic environment. Organisational culture change is essential in supporting organisational change. In other words a flexible organisational culture is essential in ensuring a smooth change process.","PeriodicalId":302999,"journal":{"name":"Journal of International Cooperation and Development","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-04-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125693060","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The adoption of legislation in line with the acquis was often made not through real legislative process but as a need of implementation of EU regulations and directives, with the assistance of EU experts. This process not only has offered the best models of legislation but, it has also taken into account the specifics of the Albanian legal system. Through this paper we aim to provide an overview of the implementation of acquis in the field of transport law, and also offer an insight on how Albania has regulated the sector based on international conventions, EU legislation and foreign models like the case of Italy. On one hand Albania has adopted Codes for the regulation of railway, air and maritime transport and on the other hand there are laws that regulate road transport. These Codes are to be considered as an exhaustive of their field of competence, following the patterns of Italian legislation, but yet there are evidences that these Codes are far away from being considered as autonomous within the legal system. However, there is still a lack of secondary legislation that finds its origin in these codes. For the purposes of this paper we will take in consideration the approval and the entry into force of the Maritime and Air Codes and their alignment with the EU legislation and international conventions.","PeriodicalId":302999,"journal":{"name":"Journal of International Cooperation and Development","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127021190","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
