Full textAbstract:
The scope of the article is reinterpretation of the question posed by Rodgers and Rodgers, namely, are Public Administration scholarship produced by “disciplined purists” – Public Administration scholars producing Public Administration research – or “undisciplined mongrels”? The methodology diverges from previous analysis through examination of doctoral dissertation research classification, rather than faculty output in publications. Concomitantly, Biglan classification of disciplines was used as a framework to determine disciplinary classifications of “undisciplined” or interdisciplinary scholarship. Findings indicate that from 2000 to 2015, there were shifts toward Public Administration as a “purist” discipline. Not only are there changes toward a distinct discipline but also steady declines in outside discipline production of Public Administration doctoral research. The analysis demonstrated a statistically significant increase in categorization of Public Administration scholarship for subjects generally accepted as core issues. Another noted change was dramatic decline for the Doctor of Public Administration degree as the field redefined boundaries.

Washington State Univ. Tri-Cities offers a new agricultural degree program titled Integrated Cropping Systems. It is intended to provide a basic education on the fundamentals of crop production and the environmental context in which crops are grown. Courses are offered at the upper division level to interface with the lower division courses offered at local community colleges. The curriculum is composed of courses in environmental science, ecology and conservation as well as crop growth and development, crop nutrition, plant pathology integrated pest management and others. Students need to meet the same requirements as those at other Washington State Univ. campuses in regards to the general education requirements. The purpose of the Integrated Cropping Systems program is to provide an educational opportunity for agricultural professionals and others in the region who are unable to commute or move to the main campus location. The curriculum provides the background needed for such occupations as grower/producer, crop scouting, sales representative and other entry level agricultural professions. It will supply credits toward certification through the American Registry of Certified Professional Agricultural Consultants (ARCPACS). Integrated Cropping Systems is a unique agricultural curriculum designed to help agriculturists integrate their production practices into the local ecosystem in a way that the environment does not incur damage. It emphasizes the use of environmentally conscience decisionmaking processes and sound resource ethics. The program will graduate individuals who have heightened awareness of the impact agricultural practices have on the ecosystem in which they are conducted.

Introdução: Considerando o Decreto Federal nº 5.626, de 22 de dezembro de 2005, a Língua Brasileira de Sinais passa a ser inserida como disciplina curricular obrigatória nos cursos de formação de professores. Objetivo: Dessa forma, objetivamos caracterizar a oferta da disciplina de Língua Brasileira de Sinais nos cursos de Licenciatura em Educação Física, nas universidades públicas da região sul do Brasil. Método: Para tanto, procedemos com uma abordagem qualitativa do problema, a nível exploratório e com o delineamento da pesquisa documental. Para a coleta dos dados utilizamos o site do e-MEC, assim, para obter o número total das universidades públicas da região sul, que oferecem o curso de Licenciatura em Educação Física presencial. Resultados: Desse modo, observamos: a) há 16 instituições públicas da região sul do Brasil oferecem o curso de Licenciatura em Educação Física; b) a disciplina de Libras está presente em todas as ementas analisadas; c) O termo mais presente nas ementas é ‘Básico de Libras’; d) constatamos uma variação entre 68h, 40h e até 30h da disciplina; e) em 15 instituições a disciplina de Libras é oferecida na modalidade presencial e uma na modalidade a distância. Conclusão: As experiências da Universidade Estadual de Ponta Grossa e da Universidade Federal do Rio Grande precisam ser mais exploradas, pois, são casos onde o padrão de ensino de libras é singular em relação às demais.ABSTRACT. The brazilian signals language in the degree in physical education: analysis of the public higher education institutions of the southern region of Brazil. Introduction: After the promulgation of the Decree nº 5.626, of December 22, 2005, the Brazilian Signals Language (LIBRAS) was introduced as compulsory curricular discipline in the teacher formation courses. Purpose: Thus, the main purpose was to characterize the offer of the Brazilian Language of Signals in the Degree in Physical Education, at the public Universities of the southern region of Brazil. Method: Therefore, we proceed a qualitative approach to the problem, at the exploratory level and with the delineation of the documentary research. For the data collection we utilized the e-MEC website, likewise, to obtain the total number of the public Universities of the southern region, that offer the presential Degree in Physical Education. Results: We observe, as a result: a) there are sixteen public institutions in the southern region of Brazil offering the Degree in Physical Education; b) the discipline of Libras is present in all the analyzed summaries of the disciplines; c) the most present term in these summaries is “Basic of Libras”; d) we found a variation between 68h, 40h and until 30h of the discipline; e) in fifteen institutions, the discipline of Libras is offered in the presential modality and one in the distance modality. Conclusion: The experiences of State University of Ponta Grossa and Federal University of Rio Grande need to be more explored, because the both are cases in which the standard of teaching Libras is unique, when compared to other cases.

Full textAbstract:
Since 2006 there have been significant changes in the labour market for university graduates, most notably the Global Financial Crisis of 2007 and the subsequent downturn in gross domestic product growth, and a huge expansion in university places. This article presents estimates of the monetary returns in Australia associated with the completion of bachelor degrees in 2016 for a range of fields of study and compares them to the estimates for 2006. The results show that for the median person, there are still good monetary incentives to complete these degrees and the private rate of return compares favourably with the long-term real bond rate. However, the article also concludes that the return to an individual investing in bachelor education had mostly declined in the period 2006–2016. There is, again, considerable variation between disciplines and for some, completion of a bachelor degree does not yield positive returns. The key factors determining the monetary rate of return are the discipline of the degree and the graduates’ subsequent labour force status. Graduates in full-time employment in most disciplines avoided being among those with low (or negative) rates of return. In addition, there is some evidence of skills mismatch and over skilling among the lowest paid university graduates.

Full textAbstract:
Disciplinary isolation has facilitated health education, public health, and physical education professionals to sometimes pursue common goals without the benefit of interdisciplinary collaboration and perspectives. Recognizing the potential benefits of interdisciplinary collaboration efforts to solve complex problems, faculty members at the University of West Florida developed an innovative doctoral program combining the disciplines of physical education, health education, and health promotion. Beginning with the salient common ground of issues related to engagement in physical activity, the program is designed to explore, compare, and contrast best practices in research and practice from each discipline. Benefits include synergistic solutions to common problems, graduates who transcend traditional professional silos to be more impactful, and the creation of innovative research endeavors. Graduates also find that they meet contemporary workforce needs outside of academia and are more marketable as faculty in kinesiology and health-related departments because of their rich, multidisciplinary knowledge base. Challenges to program implementation include prior student socialization from traditional studies in their disciplines and faculty working to move beyond their professional comfort zones to collaboratively mentor students in the program.

Full textAbstract:
Project-based learning units are often used for large scale work integrated learning (WIL) experiences in Liberal Studies Degrees as they offer scalability and sustainability of delivery to large cohorts. This systematic search and review evaluates the effectiveness of interdisciplinary project-based learning in Science Degree programs for developing discipline knowledge and employability skills. Education literature databases were searched for peer-reviewed journal articles that discussed undergraduate science-based degree programs with project-based learning units involving students from multiple disciplines. Data were analysed for evidence of a skill gain in 6 areas (Discipline knowledge, Communication, Teamwork, Interdisciplinary effectiveness, Critical thinking and problem solving, and Self-management). Projects were assigned to categories based on interdisciplinary breadth and depth. Data was analysed by cross-tabulations, Fisher’s Exact test and by calculating odds ratios (OR), which indicate the effect size. Perception of a skill gain was significantly more likely to be reported than an objectively measured skill gain (p<0.001). Real discipline skill gains were 6.6 times more likely in projects narrow in discipline mix (OR 6.6), however perceived discipline skill gains were high irrespective of project type. Projects with wide interdisciplinarity were significantly associated with perceived gains in interdisciplinary effectiveness (OR 32, p<0.05) and more likely to have perceived gains in communication (OR 2.5) and teamwork (OR 3.4) skills. When projects have greater interdisciplinary breadth or depth, perceived student employability skill gains increase, perceived discipline skill gains are unaffected, however actual discipline skill gains are less reported. Further research and evidence that project-based learning is meeting the desired WIL learning objectives of the curriculum is needed.

Full textAbstract:
As the endogenous development force and the main component of the postgraduate education system, the high-quality development of professional degree postgraduate education in Hubei Province is directly related to the overall development of the region and even the overall development of higher education in China. However, there are still some issues in the aspects of training institution, cultivation process, discipline, and specialty. In view of the series of issues that hinder the high-quality development of professional degree postgraduate education in Hubei Province, this research proposes specific practical paths such as insisting on innovative concepts, improving the professional degree training system, and clarifying the functional orientation of disciplines, to improve the quality of professional degree postgraduate education and meet the needs of the social and economic development of Hubei province for high-level applied talents.

Full textAbstract:
Contemporary activity of a higher education teacher in the field of physical education and sports is characterized by a variety and complex content. To achieve the desired result in the physical education of students, such content must be subject to a clear logic of functioning and control. Any reasonable and rationally organized activity in the field of physical education and sports can be divided into such components as: planning, implementation, control and accounting. The unity of the functioning of these components will allow you to most effectively build and manage the process of physical education in the organization of higher education. The problem of control and accounting of physical education of students is one of the most urgent pedagogical problems, since the success of the entire process of physical education in the organization of the higher education depends on the control and accounting. To improve the physical education of students in the organization of higher education, an in-depth development of the control and accounting fund for the content and methods is necessary. We reveal the content and methods of control and accounting of student performance (bachelor’s degree students) in elective discipline “Volleyball”.

A Quantitative Study of Doctoral Candidates in Australia." International Journal of Doctoral Studies 16 (2021): 689–713. http://dx.doi.org/10.28945/4875.
Full textAbstract:
Aim/Purpose: This paper investigates the association between publishing during doctoral candidature and completion time. The effects of discipline and of gaining additional support through a doctoral cohort program are also explored. Background: Candidates recognize the value of building a publication track record to improve their career prospects yet are cognizant of the time it takes to publish peer-reviewed articles. In some institutions or disciplines, there is a policy or the expectation that doctoral students will publish during their candidature. However, doctoral candidates are also under increasing pressure to complete their studies within a designated timeframe. Thus, some candidates and faculty perceive the two requirements – to publish and to complete on time – as mutually exclusive. Furthermore, where candidates have a choice in the format that the PhD submission will take, be it by monograph, PhD-by-publication, or a hybrid thesis, there is little empirical evidence available to guide the decision. This paper provides a quantitative analysis of the association between publishing during candidature and time-to-degree and investigates other variables associated with doctoral candidate research productivity and efficiency. Methodology: Multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to examine the predictors (discipline [field of research], gender, age group, domestic or international student status, and belonging to a cohort program) of doctoral candidate research productivity and efficacy. Research productivity was quantified by the number of peer-reviewed journal articles that a candidate published as a primary author during and up to 24 months after thesis submission. Efficacy (time-to-degree) was quantified by the number of Full-Time Equivalent (FTE) years of candidature. Data on 1,143 doctoral graduates were obtained from a single Australian university for the period extending from 2000 to 2020. Complete publication data were available on 707 graduates, and time-to-degree data on 664 graduates. Data were drawn from eight fields of research, which were grouped into the disciplines of health, biological sciences, agricultural and environmental sciences, and chemical, earth, and physical sciences. Contribution: This paper addresses a gap in empirical literature by providing evidence of the association between publishing during doctoral candidature and time-to-degree in the disciplines of health, biological sciences, agricultural and environmental sciences, and chemical, earth, and physical sciences. The paper also adds to the body of evidence that demonstrates the value of belonging to a cohort program for doctoral student outcomes. Findings: There is a significant association between the number of articles published and median time-to-degree. Graduates with the highest research productivity (four or more articles) exhibited the shortest time-to-degree. There was also a significant association between discipline and the number of publications published during candidature. Gaining additional peer and research-focused support and training through a cohort program was also associated with higher research productivity and efficiency compared to candidates in the same discipline but not in receipt of the additional support. Recommendations for Practitioners: While the encouragement of candidates to both publish and complete within the recommended doctorate timeframe is recommended, even within disciplines characterized by high levels of research productivity, i.e., where publishing during candidature is the “norm,” the desired levels of student research productivity and efficiency are only likely to be achieved where candidates are provided with consistent writing and publication-focused training, together with peer or mentor support. Recommendation for Researchers: Publishing peer-reviewed articles during doctoral candidature is shown not to adversely affect candidates’ completion time. Researchers should seek writing and publication-focused support to enhance their research productivity and efficiency. Impact on Society: Researchers have an obligation to disseminate their findings for the benefit of society, industry, or practice. Thus, doctoral candidates need to be encouraged and supported to publish as they progress through their candidature. Future Research: The quantitative findings need to be followed up with a mixed-methods study aimed at identifying which elements of publication and research-focused support are most effective in raising doctoral candidate productivity and efficacy.

Trata-se de pesquisa de mestrado, com o objetivo geral localizar, identificar, reunir, selecionar, sistematizar, analisar e interpretar aspectos da disciplina de Didática no Curso Normal do Instituto Superior de Educação da cidade de Garça-SP (2003-2006). Tal formulação se originou da crença de que, as disciplinas escolares constituem corpos de saberes que elaborados, se tornam próprios para o estudo, a aprendizagem, e por meio da história das disciplinas escolares poderemos perceber a materialização da produção do conhecimento nas instituições escolares. Assim, se justifica a pesquisa cujos resultados ora apresento, centrado na história da disciplina Didática, no extinto Curso Normal Superior do Instituto Superior de Educação de Garça-SP (2003-2006), o qual faz parte de uma política de formação de professores pós LDB 9394/96. O método de análise e de interpretação dos dados e informações privilegiado é o dos “aspectos da configuração textual”, segundo Magnani (1993; 1997) /Mortatti (2000), baseado nos procedimentos de localização, identificação, recuperação, reunião, seleção, ordenação, sistematização e análise do corpus documental. O referencial teórico que subsidiou a análise dos dados e informações obtidos foi constituído pelas formulações de Chervel (1990) sobre o que esse pesquisador denomina de finalidades de objetivo e de finalidades reais, as quais fundamentam os saberes e permitem que eles se materializem nas instituições, por meio de todos os seus processos, dentre os quais, as disciplinas escolares e ou acadêmicas. Dentre as considerações finais tem-se que a as disciplinas de Didática deveria ter assumido no Curso Normal Superior de Garça, segundo o documento da instituição, papel relevante, ao lado da Pesquisa e Prática de Ensino e do Estágio Curricular Supervisionado como elementos integradores dos eixos curriculares. Entretanto, a pesquisa desenvolvida evidenciou que isso ficou apenas nas tentativas.
It is master's research, with the overall objective to locate, identify, gather, select, organize, analyze and interpret aspects of didactics of discipline in the Ordinary Course of the School of Education of the city of Garça SP (2003-2006). Such a formulation stemmed from the belief that school subjects are of knowledge that developed bodies become fit for study, learning, and through the history of school subjects can perceive the materialization of knowledge production in schools. Thus, it justifies the research whose results now present, centered in the history of Teaching discipline, extinct Training Course at the Higher Institute of Garça SP of Education (2003-2006), which is part of a post teacher training policy LDB 9394/96. The method of analysis and interpretation of data and privileged information is the "aspects of textual configuration," said Magnani (1993; 1997) / Mortatti (2000), based on the location of procedures, identification, recovery, meeting, selection, ordering , systematization and analysis of the documentary corpus. The theoretical framework that supported the analysis of the data and information obtained was constituted by Chervel formulations (1990) about what the researcher calls the objective purposes and real purposes, which underpin the knowledge and allow them to materialize in the institutions, through all its processes, among which the school and or academic disciplines. Among the final considerations it has been that the didactics of disciplines should have taken the Superior Normal Course of Garça, the report of the institution, role, next to the Research and Teaching Practice and Curriculum Supervised as the integrating elements of the axes curriculum. However, research carried out showed that it was only in attempts.

Full textAbstract:
Nesta pesquisa, embasada teoricamente em uma perspectiva crítica em Psicologia Escolar, fundamentada no pensamento marxista, visamos investigar contribuições da Psicologia Escolar para a formação inicial de professores, tendo a disciplina Psicologia da Educação como expressão de discussões relativas ao processo de escolarização, proferidas neste campo do conhecimento. Nesse sentido, indagamos: que contribuições a Psicologia Escolar oferece atualmente para a formação de professores? De que modo reflexões realizadas no campo da Psicologia Escolar, que apresentam como foco de análise o processo de escolarização, estão presentes em discussões realizadas na disciplina Psicologia da Educação? O trabalho de campo envolveu a realização de: a) entrevistas individuais com docentes de duas disciplinas de Psicologia da Educação, ministradas em cursos de Licenciatura em Pedagogia e demais Licenciaturas, oferecidas na Faculdade de Educação em uma universidade pública no Estado de São Paulo, e com os coordenadores destes cursos; b) entrevistas em grupo com estudantes de tais disciplinas; c) observação às aulas destas disciplinas, durante um semestre letivo. Foi possível identificar que as disciplinas investigadas expressam discussões realizadas ao longo do movimento crítico no campo da Psicologia Escolar, ao abordarem temas como: a) fracasso escolar com questionamento de tradicionais teorizações sobre o fracasso e explicitação de elementos sociais, políticos e institucionais que constituem o processo de escolarização; b) queixa escolar com a problematização da atribuição de suas causas a fatores centrados no indivíduo e da patologização da queixa escolar, situando-a no processo de medicalização da Educação; c) relações intersubjetivas que constituem a vida diária escolar atentando para os efeitos de condições objetivas do processo de escolarização na vida dos sujeitos, bem como do reducionismo de questões sociais ao âmbito individual, por meio do qual as dimensões social e política desse processo deixam de ser consideradas, de modo a se culpabilizar os alunos, sua família ou os professores pelos problemas de escolarização. Diante da crítica ao psicologismo na Educação subjacente ao modo como a Psicologia se insere, historicamente, na formação inicial de professores, bem como à primazia do estudo sobre o desenvolvimento humano e a aprendizagem nesta disciplina, identificados hegemonicamente como alicerce das contribuições da Psicologia da Educação para a formação docente, enfatizamos a relevância de se propiciar a discussão de questões proferidas na Psicologia Escolar que expressam o deslocamento de seu foco de análise da centralidade no indivíduo para a reflexão sobre o processo de escolarização, compreendido em sua complexidade, e as relações entre os sujeitos (históricos) que constituem a vida diária escolar. Defendemos, enfim, a proposição de que a disciplina Psicologia da Educação pode consistir em importante aliada na luta pela humanização das relações escolares e pela Educação pública de qualidade , tendo como alicerce discussões no campo da Psicologia Escolar voltadas para a explicitação do caráter ideológico de teorizações psicológicas naturalizantes e a problematização de estereótipos e preconceitos cientificamente legitimados que atravessam as relações escolares, bem como do reducionismo de questões socialmente constituídas ao âmbito individual, propiciando com que estes professores (como essenciais aliados nesta luta) busquem com isso não compactuarThis research, which was based on a critical view of School Psychology, and it was also grounded on the Marxist line of thought. We have the aim of investingating the contribution of School Psychology to early education and to the graduation of teachers, who attended School Psychology classes as an expression of related discussions in the learning process, in this field of knowledge. In this sense, we asked the following questions: What is School Psychologys contribution for teachers graduation? In what way reflections in the School Psychology field, which are the main focus of the analysis of the teaching process, are present in the discussions that take place in School Psychology classes? Our field work included: a) interviewing individuals who were attending two School Psychology classes, which is an integrating part of the teachers graduation course and other teaching courses at the Education Faculty of a public University in the State of São Paulo, together with the coordinators of these courses. B) Interviewing groups of students attending these classes; c) observing these classes during the semester. As we did so, it was possible to identify that the subject matter expresses the discussions that took place throughout the critical movement in the field of School Psychology as the following themes were discussed: a) school failure with the traditional questioning of theorization about school failure and the explanation of the social, political and institutional elements that are part of the learning process; b) educational complaints educational problems and its causes, which are centered in the individual and in the pathology of educational complaints, placing it in the education medicalization process c) inter subjective relations that contribute to school daily life paying attention to the effects of objective conditions in the learning process in the subjects life as well as the reductionism of social matters in an individual scope through which the social dimensions and politics of this process are not being considered, thus making students, their families, or the teachers accountable for educational problems. Facing the criticism of trying to psychologize education which is subjacent to the way psychology is historically inserted in the early graduation process of teachers as well as the primary importance of human development and learning in this subject, which are identified as the foundation of School Psychologys contribution for the graduation of teachers. We would like to emphasize the relevance allowing discussions in the School Psychology field that express its movement from its analysis focus in individual centrality to reflections about the teaching process, to be understood in its complexity, and the relations among individuals (their history) that contribute to school daily life. Here we defend the proposition that the School Psychology discipline can be an important allied in the fight for humanization of school relations and for quality public education, all these grounded on discussions in School Psychology with the focus on the explanation of the ideological character of naturalizing psychological theories and the problematization of stereotypes and biases which are scientifically legitimated throughout all school relations, as well as the reductionism of social questions around the individual scope, thus, making it possible for these teachers (since they are essential allies in this fight) to try not to pact

Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível SuperiorThe present work has the intention to construct a history of discipline Calculation in the course of Degree in Mathematics of the Federal University of Sergipe, during the period from 1972 to 1990. It examines the historical curse of discipline by means of the workload, of the prerequisite ones, of its contents, its professors and methods of teaching. It analyzes the history of the Calculation in the prism of the history of the disciplines, taking as sources the lesson plans, minutes acts, resolutions, reports, didatic books and verbal stories. We infer that the changes pass the discipline Calculation had went in regards to the workload of great relevance; however, in if treating to prerequisite and summaries, the alterations were smaller. In the case of the movement of contents of each disciplines, we notice that in elapsing of the years the malter of teaching Calculation was configured gradually and before assuming its last formation it pass for different disciplines with reformularizations in its configuration, with distinct signatures, with distinct workload, but with the same contents. We observed although there was renewal of the teaching picture causing significant alterations regarding the profile of the professors of Calculation. We consideed that the method of the lesson was closely connected to the use that the theacher could make of the book and the applications of exercises.
O presente trabalho tem o propósito de construir uma história da disciplina Cálculo no curso de Licenciatura em Matemática da Universidade Federal de Sergipe, durante o período de 1972 a 1990. Examina o percurso histórico da disciplina por meio da carga horária, dos pré-requisitos, de seus conteúdos, seus professores e métodos de ensino. Analisa a história do Cálculo no prisma da história das disciplinas, tomando como fontes os planos de aula, atas, resoluções, relatórios, livros didáticos e relatos orais. Inferimos que as mudanças por que passou a disciplina Cálculo foram no tocante à carga horária de grande relevância; porém, em se tratando de pré-requisitos e ementas, as alterações foram menores. No caso da movimentação dos conteúdos em cada disciplina, notamos que no decorrer dos anos a matéria de ensino Cálculo foi configurada paulatinamente e antes de assumir a sua última formação perpassou por diferentes disciplinas, com reformulações em sua configuração, com assinaturas distintas, com cargas horárias distintas, mas com os mesmos conteúdos. Observamos ainda que o quadro docente ocasionou alterações significativas na disciplina Cálculo. Consideramos que o método da aula estava intimamente ligado ao uso que o professor poderia fazer do livro e das aplicações de exercícios.

Este trabalho tem como objetivo analisar as enunciações de licenciados em Matemática do Instituto Federal de Educação, Ciência e Tecnologia do Piauí sobre o currículo de seu curso, no que se refere às disciplinas de Educação Matemática. Para identificar quais são as disciplinas, o trabalho toma como parâmetro uma pesquisa de Gatti e Nunes (2009) sobre currículo de licenciatura no Brasil. Nesse sentido, considerou-se Didática da Matemática, Modelagem da Matemática, Pesquisa em Ensino da Matemática e História da Matemática como disciplinas. O referencial teórico que as fundamentou situa-se na vertente da Educação Matemática denominada Etnomatemática em suas interlocuções com o pensamento de Michel Foucault. Participaram da pesquisa sete licenciados que estavam cursando o último semestre do curso. A pesquisa de cunho qualitativo utilizou-se de entrevistas como instrumento de coleta de dados, as quais foram gravadas e em seguida transcritas. A análise do material empírico evidenciou que: 1) O ensino das disciplinas Didática da Matemática e Modelagem Matemática enfatizou a confecção e utilização de materiais concretos como recurso eficaz para o processo de aprendizagem da Matemática ; 2) As aulas de História da Matemática foram "tradicionais"; 3) A disciplina Pesquisa em Ensino da Matemática priorizou a elaboração do trabalho de conclusão de curso (TCC); 4) As disciplinas de Educação Matemática contribuem para o dinamismo em sala de aula.
This paper aims to analyze the utterances of undergraduates in Mathematics from Instituto Federal de Educação, Ciência e Tecnologia do Piauí (Federal Institute of Education, Science and Technology of Piauí) on the curriculum of their course, in respect to the disciplines of Mathematics Education. To identify which disciplines, the work takes as a parameter a survey of Gatti and Nunes (2009) on undergraduate curriculum in Brazil. In this regard, it was considered Didactics of Mathematics, Mathematical Modeling, Research in Mathematics Education and History of Mathematics as disciplines. The theoretical referential, in which the research is based, is located on the slope of Mathematics Education called Ethnomatematics in their dialogues with the thought of Michel Foucault. Seven undergraduates participated in the survey and they were taking last semester. The qualitative study used interviews as a tool for data collection, which were recorded and then transcribed. The analysis of empirical data showed that: 1) The teaching of subjects didactics of mathematics and mathematical modeling emphasized the manufacture and use of concrete materials as an effective resource for the process of learning mathematics; 2) History lessons of mathematics were "traditional"; 3) Discipline Research in Mathematics Teaching was mainly north of the development work of completion (TCC); 4) the disciplines of mathematics education contribute to the dynamism in the classroom.

Creating an initial teacher training course involves many aspects, among them, the identity of the Teaching Institution and the constitution of the group of teachers involved in this process. In this scenario, some of the issues faced in the initial training courses of a mathematics teacher are related to pedagogical training, to the institutional field and to the curricular field of these courses. One of these impasses is the relation between Mathematics teaching and the development of competences for the exercise of citizenship. In this sense, debates and discussions on the financial literacy of citizens highlight the role of the contemporary school in the dissemination of financial knowledge. In Brazil there is a movement to insert the theme of financial education in Basic Education and although it is a subject of socioeconomic relevance, financial education is not yet contemplated in the political-pedagogical project of most public schools. Even with some initiatives in this direction, what draws attention to the initial training of mathematics teachers is the absence of discussions as to the insertion of the discipline of Financial Mathematics in the Mathematics Degree courses in Brazil. In this context, a relevant research question emerges: What is revealed about the insertion of the discipline of Financial Mathematics in the Mathematics Degree courses of the Federal Institutes of Education, Science and Technology of the South Region of Brazil? Thus, by adopting an analytical phenomenological research posture, it was sought the teachers with initial training in Mathematics, members of the Structuring Teaching Core of these Institutes who participated in the elaboration and modifications of the Political Pedagogical Project of the Mathematics Courses, offered as a classroom course, in 2016. In this search process, through the coordination of the Mathematics Degree courses, fourteen teachers were pointed out as possible research subjects. After being invited to participate in the research, the invitation was accepted by six teachers and the interview occurred with five of them. The interview prioritized the statements and spontaneous manifestations of the participants and the recording regarding the speech of these teachers was taken in video and audio, which were transcribed and analyzed later, following the three reflexive steps with a phenomenological tendency: description, reduction and interpretation. With the help of the Atlas t.i. software, the analysis process was guided by the research question, looking at the units of meaning that emerged from the Teaching Projects of the Courses and from the teachers' testimonials. Following, by the convergences of the units of meaning, two broad categories were perceived, which were described and interpreted separately. In this sense, in a diverse scenario, some aspects emerged in the investigation, such as: the intra-institutionality and its relation to the insertion of the discipline of Financial Mathematics; the standardization of the curriculum; the turnover of teachers in the NDE and the implications on the decisions of the curricular matrix of these courses in this condition; the delineation of the courses curricular matrix dependent on public policies; the non-establishment of the relationship between Financial Mathematics and Financial Education, signaling to the financial literacy of teachers; the estrangement of the courses before the financial context that is presented; among others. In this direction, the investigative look points to a study of proposals that can contribute to improving the level of the citizens' financial literacy.
Na criação de um curso de formação inicial de professores estão envolvidos muitos aspectos, dentre eles, a identidade da Instituição de Ensino e a constituição do grupo de docentes envolvidos nesse processo. Nesse cenário, algumas das questões enfrentadas nos cursos de formação inicial de um professor de matemática estão relacionadas à formação pedagógica, ao campo institucional e ao campo curricular desses cursos. Um desses impasses é a relação entre o ensino de Matemática e o desenvolvimento de competências para o exercício da cidadania. Nesse sentido, debates e discussões sobre a literacia financeira dos cidadãos destacam o papel da escola contemporânea na disseminação do conhecimento financeiro. No Brasil há um movimento de inserção da temática educação financeira na Educação Básica e apesar de ser um tema de relevância socioeconômica, a educação financeira ainda não é contemplada no projeto político-pedagógico da maioria das escolas públicas. Mesmo com algumas iniciativas nessa direção, o que chama a atenção na formação inicial de professores de matemática, é a ausência de discussões quanto à inserção da disciplina de Matemática Financeira nos cursos de Licenciatura em Matemática no Brasil. Nesse contexto, emerge uma interrogação de pesquisa relevante: O que se revela sobre a inserção da disciplina de Matemática Financeira nos cursos de Licenciatura em Matemática dos Institutos Federais de Educação, Ciência e Tecnologia da Região Sul do Brasil? Assim, ao adotar uma postura de investigação de pesquisa analítica de cunho fenomenológico, buscou-se pelos docentes com formação inicial em Matemática integrantes do Núcleo Docente Estruturante desses Institutos que participaram da elaboração e das modificações do Projeto Político Pedagógico dos Cursos (PPC) de Licenciatura em Matemática, ofertados na forma presencial, em 2016. Nesse processo de busca, por meio das coordenações dos cursos de Licenciatura em Matemática, catorze docentes foram apontados como sujeitos passíveis de investigação. Após serem convidados a participar da pesquisa, o convite foi aceito por seis professores e a entrevista ocorreu com cinco deles. A entrevista priorizou os depoimentos e manifestações espontâneas dos participantes e o registro referente ao discurso desses professores se deu por meio de gravação de vídeo e áudio, que foram transcritos e analisados posteriormente, seguindo os três passos reflexivos com tendência fenomenológica: descrição, redução e interpretação. Com o auxílio do software Atlas t.i., o processo de análise foi conduzido pela interrogação de pesquisa, com o olhar para as unidades de significado que emergiram dos Projetos Pedagógicos dos Cursos e dos depoimentos dos docentes. Na sequência, pelas convergências das unidades de significado, foram percebidas duas categorias amplas, que foram descritas e interpretadas separadamente. Nesse sentido, num cenário diverso, despontaram alguns aspectos na investigação, tais como: a intra-institucionalidade e sua relação na inserção da disciplina de Matemática Financeira; a padronização da grade curricular; a rotatividade dos docentes do NDE e as implicações nas decisões da matriz curricular desses cursos nessa condição; o delinear da matriz curricular dos cursos dependente de políticas públicas; o não estabelecimento da relação entre a Matemática Financeira e a Educação Financeira, sinalizando para a literacia financeira dos professores; o distanciamento dos cursos frente ao contexto financeiro que está posto; entre outros. Nessa direção, o olhar investigativo aponta para um estudo de propostas que contribuam para melhorar o nível de literacia financeira dos cidadãos.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines the development of the New Zealand secondary school history curriculum in the late 20th century and is a case study of the transformation of an academic discipline into a senior secondary school subject. It is concerned with the nature of state control in the development of the history curriculum at this level as well as the extent to which dominant elites within the history teaching community influenced the process. This thesis provides a historical perspective on recent developments in the history curriculum (2005-2008) and argues New Zealand stands apart from international trends in regards to history education. Internationally, curriculum developers have typically prioritised a narrative of the nation-state but in New Zealand the history teaching community has, by and large, been reluctant to engage with a national past and chosen to prioritise English history. Also in the international arena the history curriculum is shaped by government agencies but in New Zealand in the late 20th century, a minority of historians and teachers had a disproportionate influence over the process. They eschewed attempts to liberalise the subject by the Department of Education (and thereby reflect contemporary developments in the parent discipline) and shaped the curriculum to reflect their own professional interests. This thesis puts forward a hypothesis that seeks to explain the nature of continuity and change in the senior history curriculum in the late 20th century with a view to illuminating the origins of recent debates in the history teaching community. It argues that it is the examination prescriptions that dictate what is taught at this level and that there are three key criteria that must be met if a senior curriculum initiative is to be successfully introduced, or an existing area of historical knowledge is to be retained. Firstly, it is necessary that the decision-making elite share a consensus that a particular body of historical knowledge is of higher status than any alternative. Secondly, a successful initiative must reflect the existing scholarly constraints and boundaries of the parent discipline. Finally, advocates of a particular area of knowledge must be able to establish alliances with major stakeholders in a subject community who are sympathetic to their cause. The role of dominant individuals in this process was paramount in the 1980s as Department of Education curriculum committees at this time operated on the ethos of ‘consultation’, with little explicit philosophical direction and no authentic evaluation. This model is examined by considering the examples of women’s history (that was successfully embedded in the 1989 curriculum), Maori history (that was not) and 16th and 17th century English history (that has dominated the history curriculum in New Zealand for over 30 years).

Full textAbstract:
AbstractAcknowledging the critical nature of EMI lecturers as bi- or multilinguals, this Chapter continues the investigation into cross-linguistic influence now turning attention to its pragmatic features. It focuses on the Chinese lecturers’ metalinguistic skills, particularly the L1 (Chinese) to L2 (English) transfer in their use of pragmatic markers (PMs). The investigation is informed by current studies arguing that highly proficient L2 language users do not necessarily make the most effective teachers, and the capacity to employ pragmatic strategies is essential to engage students’ learning; and that from amongst all the competencies in which lecturers should be proficient, one of the most essential is pragmatic competence. This Chapter provides an analysis of the participating EMI lecturers’ verbal characteristics of the PMs they implemented in their teaching. Whilst acknowledging individual differences, the trend of PM use and the degree of pragmatic transfer revealed in this group’s EMI teaching can be explained in terms of their pedagogical ideologies and subsequent practice, culturally influenced teacher-student relationships, the EMI discipline and its relevant subject matter and the lecturers’ language cognition as L2 users.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractThis chapter draws on our experience facilitating the National Indigenous Research and Knowledges Network (NIRAKN) capacity-building workshops. During these workshops, we continually heard what we refer to as “the three myths about what an Indigenous HDR student ought to be doing”. The three myths are that an Indigenous HDR student needs to be: (1) supervised by an Indigenous supervisor; (2) using Indigenous research methodologies; and (3) researching Indigenous issues. Following these workshops, we sought to understand the needs and experience of Indigenous higher degree by research (HDR) students and supervisors of Indigenous HDR students. Informing this chapter are group discussions, written responses and surveys conducted with Indigenous HDR students (n = 66) and supervisor of Indigenous HDR students (n = 33). In this chapter, we argue against these myths to demonstrate that discipline expertise and/or methodological expertise is the most important variable that determines how all HDR students are paired with supervisors. We also argue that it is harmful and racist to expect Indigenous HDR students to use a prescribed methodology that is race-based. And that, the assumption that Indigenous HDR students should be researching Indigenous matters rather than their own research interests is problematic.

Abstract Archer, Morley and Souppez critique the value of building authentic assessment to reflect better a real world learning approach that prepares students more explicitly for employment after graduation. The two case studies within this chapter are drawn from the different disciplines of festival and event management and yacht design; both aim to prepare students for their respective industries from the onset of their degree programmes. The case studies present how the use of well-managed pedagogic strategies, such as peer review and assessment, reflective practice and the use of formative feedback, can prepare students successfully for authentic and high-risk summative assessments. The authors argue for a learning and teaching approach that emphasises sequential, real world assessment that focuses on student longitudinal development.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract This chapter draws on the Field Guide, as well as on a recent study of the boundary work of collaborating in cross-disciplinary and crosssector work, with added insights from literature on team science. Heeding the editors' mandate to focus on pragmatics, it depicts the 'how' of collaboration across boundaries of expertise in short essays that define major dimensions. Each essay is framed at the start by keywords and ends with pertinent resources that individuals and groups may use in whole or in part for training modules and workshops, interventions in the course of actually conducting research, and formal curricula in higher education. The initial section of the chapter describes the overarching topic of collaboration, including the role of a collaboration plan and the centrality of communication. The remaining sections discuss three subtopics that are often linked with collaboration. The first, cross-disciplinary and crosssector work, reveals distinctions in kinds of teamwork. The second, integration, discloses degrees of interaction and synthesis. The third, leadership, describes typical needs and responsibilities. These shorter accounts of related concepts and approaches begin with definitions of crossdisciplinarity (spanning multi-, inter- and transdisciplinary approaches) and cross-sector work (bridging the academy, government, industry, and communities in the north and global south). After a short summary, the conclusion reflects on the importance of integrative expertise among all team members along with needed requisite competencies.

Full textAbstract:
The formation of cadets' legal competencies during their studies at a maritime university is determined by pedagogical conditions, which are developed by teachers in stages, depending on the content of legal disciplines. During the period of study at the university, cadets first get acquainted with the discipline "Jurisprudence" in the first year. The objective of the course is to develop universal and general professional competencies in the field of legal regulation among cadets, which determine the content of the norms of Russian and international law, taking into account conditions, resources and restrictions. The degree of quality of maritime specialist training depends on the level of professional competence development, which includes legal competencies in the field of Russian and international law. However, the course of the discipline "Jurisprudence" includes general rules of law and does not determine the specifics of the training of cadets in maritime law. Thus, the author proposes in the study the pedagogical conditions for the formation of legal competencies in the study of the discipline "Jurisprudence" and an assessment of their effectiveness. The purpose of the study is to develop criteria and indicators for assessing the levels of formation of legal competencies of cadets in the first year. The object of research is the process of developing diagnostics of pedagogical conditions for the formation of legal competencies. The subject of the study is the assessment of the levels of formation of legal competencies of cadets. The author proposes a system for diagnosing legal competencies, which collectively form a part of the professional competence of a maritime university graduate.

A student's life is mentally demanding and time-consuming for any learner. U.S. culture values hard work, no excuses mantras, and discipline to achieve a graduate degree or the next promotion, and often it is a badge of honor to be overcommitted, stressed out, and exhausted. As mental and physical health issues arise, the implementation of a health and wellness statement for graduate students was utilized to open the proverbial door to hold space and grace for life's challenges and empower learners in an inclusive setting.

While theology is an international discipline, there is a need to contextualize theology so that it can address the local expectations. This theme is critical for contemporary theological curriculum. Reformed Church University is providing an Honours Degree in Theology. Towards improving the curriculum, there is a need for contextualisation as an ongoing exercise as the context continues to change from time to time. Theology should therefore aim at addressing contemporary issues and increase the program viability. The author explores all the potential areas that need to be considered to achieve a heritage-based curriculum. While theology sometimes can be regarded as an exclusive discipline, there is potential for improvement when it incorporates national heritage.

To increase success and graduation rates, research shows that doctoral programs must adapt to changes in how instruction is managed and delivered, and must include options that recognize and facilitate discipline mastery without compromising their integrity or the quality of their degrees. This chapter explains a new path to doctoral degree completion, one that minimizes arbitrary time-frames and emphasizes discipline mastery through rigorous coursework and graduate-level research. The authors recommend a new model for successful completion of the dissertation within the Doctorate of Education (Ed.D.) through evidence-based practice. This model implements structured mentoring and the transformation of dissertation research from an end-of-program destination to a program-embedded process. This chapter will provide a discussion of four evidence-based strategies for improved success for doctoral students following this type of pathway to dissertation completion.

Aim/Purpose This paper investigates the association between publishing during doctoral candidature and completion time. The effects of discipline and of gaining additional support through a doctoral cohort program are also explored. Background Candidates recognize the value of building a publication track record to improve their career prospects yet are cognizant of the time it takes to publish peer-reviewed articles. In some institutions or disciplines, there is a policy or the expectation that doctoral students will publish during their candidature. How-ever, doctoral candidates are also under increasing pressure to complete their studies within a designated timeframe. Thus, some candidates and faculty perceive the two requirements – to publish and to complete on time – as mutually exclusive. Furthermore, where candidates have a choice in the format that the PhD submission will take, be it by monograph, PhD-by-publication, or a hybrid thesis, there is little empirical evidence available to guide the decision. This pa-per provides a quantitative analysis of the association between publishing during candidature and time-to-degree and investigates other variables associated with doctoral candidate research productivity and efficiency. Methodology Multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to examine the predictors (discipline [field of research], gender, age group, domestic or international student status, and belonging to a cohort program) of doctoral candidate research productivity and efficacy. Research productivity was quantified by the number of peer-reviewed journal articles that a candidate published as a primary author during and up to 24 months after thesis submission. Efficacy (time-to-degree) was quantified by the number of Full-Time Equivalent (FTE) years of candidature. Data on 1,143 doctoral graduates were obtained from a single Australian university for the period extending from 2000 to 2020. Complete publication data were available on 707 graduates, and time-to-degree data on 664 graduates. Data were drawn from eight fields of research, which were grouped into the disciplines of health, biological sciences, agricultural and environmental sciences, and chemical, earth, and physical sciences. Contribution This paper addresses a gap in empirical literature by providing evidence of the association between publishing during doctoral candidature and time-to-degree in the disciplines of health, biological sciences, agricultural and environmental sciences, and chemical, earth, and physical sciences. The paper also adds to the body of evidence that demonstrates the value of belonging to a cohort pro-gram for doctoral student outcomes. Findings There is a significant association between the number of articles published and median time-to-degree. Graduates with the highest research productivity (four or more articles) exhibited the shortest time-to-degree. There was also a significant association between discipline and the number of publications published during candidature. Gaining additional peer and research-focused support and training through a cohort program was also associated with higher research productivity and efficiency compared to candidates in the same discipline but not in receipt of the additional support. Recommendations for Practitioners While the encouragement of candidates to both publish and complete within the recommended doctorate timeframe is recommended, even within disciplines characterized by high levels of research productivity, i.e., where publishing during candidature is the “norm,” the desired levels of student research productivity and efficiency are only likely to be achieved where candidates are provided with consistent writing and publication-focused training, together with peer or mentor support. Recommendations for Researchers Publishing peer-reviewed articles during doctoral candidature is shown not to adversely affect candidates’ completion time. Researchers should seek writing and publication-focused support to enhance their research productivity and efficiency. Impact on Society Researchers have an obligation to disseminate their findings for the benefit of society, industry, or practice. Thus, doctoral candidates need to be encouraged and supported to publish as they progress through their candidature. Future Research The quantitative findings need to be followed up with a mixed-methods study aimed at identifying which elements of publication and research-focused sup-port are most effective in raising doctoral candidate productivity and efficacy.

Full textAbstract:
The essential elements of an informing system are a sender, a communications pathway, and a client. Academic informing systems, however, are best viewed as two interacting informing systems, one that informs clients of a discipline, one that informs clients of the institution. The paper proposes that the greater the degree of overlap between the clients of these two systems, the stronger the position of an individual discipline is likely to be. MIS is presented as an example of a disciplinary informing system that has ceased to inform external clients. This situation, it is argued, is likely to result in the discipline's downfall. The informing sciences transdiscipline itself is then examined using the same lens. While much younger than MIS, the paper argues that informing sciences needs to begin its search for clients in earnest. Building upon lessons learned from another transdiscipline, complex systems, a series of concrete recommendations are presented.

In 2002 Informing Science + IT Education Conference. Informing Science Institute, 2002. http://dx.doi.org/10.28945/2449.
Full textAbstract:
The rapidly changing environment of the information age and the need to provide a well-rounded education, often times, are diametrically opposed. Local, regional, national, and international industry needs and pressures interact with school and discipline tradition. The basic requirements of a school’s degree often account for over half of the courses required for graduation. Administrations often do not know the difference between the parallel degrees of Computer Information and Information Technology or the complexities of Computer Science as opposed to Informing Science, thus complicating the process. The key question is “does one size fit all” when it comes to determining what a computer centered curriculum should be for a given school of higher education and to what extent do outside influences affect curriculum decisions.

Full textAbstract:
Sustainability Sciences need communication to communicate knowledge effectively and to engage audiences toward sustainable development. Therefore, the present study examines to what extent media and communication aspects are integrated into sustainability science's curricula of higher education institutions in Europe. For this purpose, a total of n=1117 bachelor and master's degree programs and their related curricula/program specifications from 31 European countries were analyzed by means of content analysis. Results show that the level of curricular integration of media and communication aspects in the field of sustainability science is not (yet) far advanced (18%). This leaves room for a reflection on the perceived (ir-)relevance of communication as a crucial discipline and competence in the sustainability science area, as well as on the social and educational responsibility of higher education institutions.

Full textAbstract:
In a Finnish study of four different academic disciplines, Ylijoki (2000) found that in Computer Science there was a disparity between the conceptions held by undergraduate students and staff about their discipline; students viewed it as being far more pragmatic and results focused than did their instructors. Not surprisingly, here at our Australian university where the undergraduate Computer Science program emphasizes programming and problem solving skills, the authors had noticed a similar inconsistency between staff and student beliefs. This paper reports on an effort to realign these conceptions and broaden student experience using an assessment task. Centered on solutions to the popular ‘Sudoku’ puzzle (Sudoku, 2005), the task was designed and introduced into an Intelligent Systems course, a final year elective of a Computer Science degree. The goal was to expose students to some of the ‘pure’ rather than applied aspects of the Computer Science discipline (Becher & Trowler, 2001), by using assessment to encourage experimental learning (Kolb & Fry, 1975). The assessment specification instructed students to design and conduct several ‘in silica’ Computer Science experiments to solve and/or create Sudoku puzzles. Importantly, students were asked to keep a Research Diary documenting their thoughts, attempts, backtracking and progresses as they attempted the assignment. Most unique from a student’s perspective was that ‘failure’ to solve the given problem by experimentation was a viable option; their efforts would be rewarded given they conducted themselves ‘scientifically’ in their attempt.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Defined by SPE as the application of basic and engineering sciences to the finding, development, and recovery of oil, gas and other resources from wells, petroleum engineering (PE) has been throughout the years falsely thought of as an amalgamation of other disciplines applied to the exploration and recovery of hydrocarbons. Integrating all PE subdisciplines in a manner efficient for teaching and learning is essential for securing the abundance of well-rounded market-attractive professionals. This paper discusses advantages individuals with PE background experience should exhibit in their employment in the oil and gas industry and academia. There is no point for students in going to school for a degree that will not hand them a competitive edge within their discipline. For graduate PEs, the job market is dependent on the quality of their respective academic programs and by extension to the quality of the teaching faculty. A steady oil and gas job market may not necessarily warrant robust employment opportunities, particularly straight after graduation. In a discipline like PE, where almost everything that matters takes place thousands of feet underground, apportioning credit for successes or responsibility for failures is itself a challenge. Decreases in student enrollments in PE programs reported by various universities during times of low oil and gas prices poses questions about the future of the PEs discipline, despite the steady demand for oil and gas in the world's energy mix. Academic programs interested in facilitating a smooth transition of their graduates into the industry should work in conjunction with practitioners to provide the correct balance between theory and practice in their coursework ensuring that once employment opportunities are created, they get filled with candidates of relevant education and training. PE degree-holding candidates should be the natural first choice for PE positions. This means that their educational and professional backgrounds should be providing them with an undisputed advantage which places them a leg above candidates from other disciplines. For instance, for a well completions job opening, there should not be a better alternative than a good PE specialized in well completions. If every PE graduate comes out of his or her program with a skillset which is superior to that of his or her competition, he or she will be the preferred choice for an oil and gas job.

In Sixth International Conference on Higher Education Advances. Valencia: Universitat Politècnica de València, 2020. http://dx.doi.org/10.4995/head20.2020.11082.
Full textAbstract:
Fruits are a relevant source of phenols and ascorbate, biomolecules which scavenge reactive oxygen species. For this reason, they are considered as healthy for the human being. Fruits quality depends on their levels of antioxidants and enzyme activities that ensure their conservation. The aim of this work was to plan and execute a laboratory class of Enzymology, a discipline of Biochemistry degree of University of Évora, Portugal, for determining the functional and conservation value of three different fruits types, sold in the market of Évora, Portugal. The development of this activity allowed that students of a pilot class participate in a laboratory activity which intended to compare the content of phenols, ascorbate, and polyphenol oxidase enzyme activity present in apple, peach and blueberries pulp. At Lab activity, the students successfully determined markers of functional and conservation value of selected fruits. The skills acquired by the students, in terms of obtaining fruit pulp and their composition in antioxidants, stimulated their commitment degree on the application of biochemistry in the everyday, acquiring thereby significant learning, with a high degree of satisfaction.

Full textAbstract:
Pedagogy of student engagement embodies creativity, student autonomy, engagement, and metacognition. We have been working on developing a framework for transformed pedagogies by designing and creating virtual reality experiences for learners. These transformative learning experiences enable learners to learn creatively by exploring and experimenting; as active citizen by making choices, taking decisions, and solving problems; engaging intellectually by generating ideas; reflecting on their own learning, and by learning how to learn through metacognition. We created virtual immersive experiences for the students using real-world content (360-degree media), synthetic content (computer-generated), or a mix of these two. Our work involved creating virtual reality content for places of historical interest in New Delhi and other parts of India. Our work is a type of high-end virtual reality low-end extended reality. We are exploring the usability of this framework in different discipline areas within the framework of theory of cognitive fit and situated learning theory, which allow a greater degree of student engagement for life-enriching experiences. We shall discuss our work we created as virtual reality-based content and its impact on enhancing learning.

Full textAbstract:
It has been widely documented that many undergraduate students demonstrate antipathy towards statistics. This paper documents the findings from an investigation of statistics education in a sport and exercise science department at The University of Chichester in the UK. Sports science is a multidisciplinary subject that encompasses biomechanics, physiology, and psychology. The university had a suite of four programmes each with a different emphasis in terms of subject discipline. Academics’ use and interpretation of statistics are influenced by their subject specialism within sports science. The investigation evaluated the differences in examination performance between degree programmes, gender and previous mathematics achievement. Findings from the analysis of examination results found mathematics qualification to significantly affect achievement in statistics examinations. Qualitative analysis provided contextual detail that support the need for professional and pedagogic development.

Full textAbstract:
Victoria University offers a Computer Science degree in Hong Kong. The Hong Kong program matches the one in Melbourne, but both the content coverage and the delivery model of the Hong Kong program are affected by expectations and demands of the Hong Kong government and students. The paper outlines challenges, legislative, cultural, quality, time and distance that shaped the program delivery model. It examines the social construction of the program curriculum, and identifies cultural factors that have had most impact in modifying the program. The paper regards distance education as an informing discipline and discusses the program delivery model in terms of the Informing Science Framework. It uses a Project subject to illustrate the model and rationale behind it, and comments on suitability of various multimedia components as program delivery vehicles. The paper concludes by considering the implications of the Hong Kong program experience on future directions in distance education.

African Open Science Platform Part 1: Landscape Study. Academy of Science of South Africa (ASSAf), 2019. http://dx.doi.org/10.17159/assaf.2019/0047.
Full textAbstract:
This report maps the African landscape of Open Science – with a focus on Open Data as a sub-set of Open Science. Data to inform the landscape study were collected through a variety of methods, including surveys, desk research, engagement with a community of practice, networking with stakeholders, participation in conferences, case study presentations, and workshops hosted. Although the majority of African countries (35 of 54) demonstrates commitment to science through its investment in research and development (R&D), academies of science, ministries of science and technology, policies, recognition of research, and participation in the Science Granting Councils Initiative (SGCI), the following countries demonstrate the highest commitment and political willingness to invest in science: Botswana, Ethiopia, Kenya, Senegal, South Africa, Tanzania, and Uganda. In addition to existing policies in Science, Technology and Innovation (STI), the following countries have made progress towards Open Data policies: Botswana, Kenya, Madagascar, Mauritius, South Africa and Uganda. Only two African countries (Kenya and South Africa) at this stage contribute 0.8% of its GDP (Gross Domestic Product) to R&D (Research and Development), which is the closest to the AU’s (African Union’s) suggested 1%. Countries such as Lesotho and Madagascar ranked as 0%, while the R&D expenditure for 24 African countries is unknown. In addition to this, science globally has become fully dependent on stable ICT (Information and Communication Technologies) infrastructure, which includes connectivity/bandwidth, high performance computing facilities and data services. This is especially applicable since countries globally are finding themselves in the midst of the 4th Industrial Revolution (4IR), which is not only “about” data, but which “is” data. According to an article1 by Alan Marcus (2015) (Senior Director, Head of Information Technology and Telecommunications Industries, World Economic Forum), “At its core, data represents a post-industrial opportunity. Its uses have unprecedented complexity, velocity and global reach. As digital communications become ubiquitous, data will rule in a world where nearly everyone and everything is connected in real time. That will require a highly reliable, secure and available infrastructure at its core, and innovation at the edge.” Every industry is affected as part of this revolution – also science. An important component of the digital transformation is “trust” – people must be able to trust that governments and all other industries (including the science sector), adequately handle and protect their data. This requires accountability on a global level, and digital industries must embrace the change and go for a higher standard of protection. “This will reassure consumers and citizens, benefitting the whole digital economy”, says Marcus. A stable and secure information and communication technologies (ICT) infrastructure – currently provided by the National Research and Education Networks (NRENs) – is key to advance collaboration in science. The AfricaConnect2 project (AfricaConnect (2012–2014) and AfricaConnect2 (2016–2018)) through establishing connectivity between National Research and Education Networks (NRENs), is planning to roll out AfricaConnect3 by the end of 2019. The concern however is that selected African governments (with the exception of a few countries such as South Africa, Mozambique, Ethiopia and others) have low awareness of the impact the Internet has today on all societal levels, how much ICT (and the 4th Industrial Revolution) have affected research, and the added value an NREN can bring to higher education and research in addressing the respective needs, which is far more complex than simply providing connectivity. Apart from more commitment and investment in R&D, African governments – to become and remain part of the 4th Industrial Revolution – have no option other than to acknowledge and commit to the role NRENs play in advancing science towards addressing the SDG (Sustainable Development Goals). For successful collaboration and direction, it is fundamental that policies within one country are aligned with one another. Alignment on continental level is crucial for the future Pan-African African Open Science Platform to be successful. Both the HIPSSA ((Harmonization of ICT Policies in Sub-Saharan Africa)3 project and WATRA (the West Africa Telecommunications Regulators Assembly)4, have made progress towards the regulation of the telecom sector, and in particular of bottlenecks which curb the development of competition among ISPs. A study under HIPSSA identified potential bottlenecks in access at an affordable price to the international capacity of submarine cables and suggested means and tools used by regulators to remedy them. Work on the recommended measures and making them operational continues in collaboration with WATRA. In addition to sufficient bandwidth and connectivity, high-performance computing facilities and services in support of data sharing are also required. The South African National Integrated Cyberinfrastructure System5 (NICIS) has made great progress in planning and setting up a cyberinfrastructure ecosystem in support of collaborative science and data sharing. The regional Southern African Development Community6 (SADC) Cyber-infrastructure Framework provides a valuable roadmap towards high-speed Internet, developing human capacity and skills in ICT technologies, high- performance computing and more. The following countries have been identified as having high-performance computing facilities, some as a result of the Square Kilometre Array7 (SKA) partnership: Botswana, Ghana, Kenya, Madagascar, Mozambique, Mauritius, Namibia, South Africa, Tunisia, and Zambia. More and more NRENs – especially the Level 6 NRENs 8 (Algeria, Egypt, Kenya, South Africa, and recently Zambia) – are exploring offering additional services; also in support of data sharing and transfer. The following NRENs already allow for running data-intensive applications and sharing of high-end computing assets, bio-modelling and computation on high-performance/ supercomputers: KENET (Kenya), TENET (South Africa), RENU (Uganda), ZAMREN (Zambia), EUN (Egypt) and ARN (Algeria). Fifteen higher education training institutions from eight African countries (Botswana, Benin, Kenya, Nigeria, Rwanda, South Africa, Sudan, and Tanzania) have been identified as offering formal courses on data science. In addition to formal degrees, a number of international short courses have been developed and free international online courses are also available as an option to build capacity and integrate as part of curricula. The small number of higher education or research intensive institutions offering data science is however insufficient, and there is a desperate need for more training in data science. The CODATA-RDA Schools of Research Data Science aim at addressing the continental need for foundational data skills across all disciplines, along with training conducted by The Carpentries 9 programme (specifically Data Carpentry 10 ). Thus far, CODATA-RDA schools in collaboration with AOSP, integrating content from Data Carpentry, were presented in Rwanda (in 2018), and during17-29 June 2019, in Ethiopia. Awareness regarding Open Science (including Open Data) is evident through the 12 Open Science-related Open Access/Open Data/Open Science declarations and agreements endorsed or signed by African governments; 200 Open Access journals from Africa registered on the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ); 174 Open Access institutional research repositories registered on openDOAR (Directory of Open Access Repositories); 33 Open Access/Open Science policies registered on ROARMAP (Registry of Open Access Repository Mandates and Policies); 24 data repositories registered with the Registry of Data Repositories (re3data.org) (although the pilot project identified 66 research data repositories); and one data repository assigned the CoreTrustSeal. Although this is a start, far more needs to be done to align African data curation and research practices with global standards. Funding to conduct research remains a challenge. African researchers mostly fund their own research, and there are little incentives for them to make their research and accompanying data sets openly accessible. Funding and peer recognition, along with an enabling research environment conducive for research, are regarded as major incentives. The landscape report concludes with a number of concerns towards sharing research data openly, as well as challenges in terms of Open Data policy, ICT infrastructure supportive of data sharing, capacity building, lack of skills, and the need for incentives. Although great progress has been made in terms of Open Science and Open Data practices, more awareness needs to be created and further advocacy efforts are required for buy-in from African governments. A federated African Open Science Platform (AOSP) will not only encourage more collaboration among researchers in addressing the SDGs, but it will also benefit the many stakeholders identified as part of the pilot phase. The time is now, for governments in Africa, to acknowledge the important role of science in general, but specifically Open Science and Open Data, through developing and aligning the relevant policies, investing in an ICT infrastructure conducive for data sharing through committing funding to making NRENs financially sustainable, incentivising open research practices by scientists, and creating opportunities for more scientists and stakeholders across all disciplines to be trained in data management.
