Experiential Pedagogy In Axiological Approach

Down the ages, many philosophers, teachers and psychologists have focused their attention on the act of education, with all its implications, and on the concept of pedagogy. Along with defining this concept and with establishing its object of study, specialists sought to identify the most efficient ways of achieving the instructive-educative process (how the teaching, learning and assessment should be realised, which would be the most efficient learning methods for the student). Experiential pedagogy is placing in the center the pupil with his needs, aspirations and desires, participating actively in the construction of knowledge. This type of pedagogyhighlights that the pupil learns better if he builds knowledge and fix it better if he understands the knowledge and if he is an active participant. Experiential pedagogy is based, as its name tells, on experience, developing its importance within the education. This type of pedagogy is, as Carl Rogers stated, person-centred pedagogy and whose aim is to acquire, share and process the experiences, to pick up the ideas and to adapt to other similar situations. Experiential pedagogy is in close relationship with another key concept: experiential learning. The latter requires active participation of pupils within some structured activities, in order to initiate the learning process. In the context of experiential learning, participants learn from and through practical experience. As a conclusion, we can state that in axiological approach, experiential pedagogy promotes the following values: the pupil-centred educational process, the knowledge building, the pupils activation, the experiential learning.
Deep Domain Adaptation for Asian Face Recognition via Ada-IBN

Owing to the great power of convolution neural networks (CNNs) in extracting discriminative features, remarkable progress has been made in face recognition recently. However, there remains a significant gap between the performance of real-world scenario and ideal experimental condition. Due to the lack of training data in Asian face, a lot of well-known datasets, such as MS-Celeb-1M, VGG Face and CASIA-Web Face that mainly consist of Caucasians, are applied to verify in Asians directly, which results in poor performance. To address this issue from the perspective of domain adaptation, in this paper, we propose a conceptually simple but novel method named Adaptive Instance Batch Normalization (Ada-IBN). We first develop the method that transferring the knowledge from source to target domain to alleviate the discrepancy while increases the generalization capacity of CNNs. Then we design a dataset Cceleb-1K which captures identification photos and live pictures from one thousand different Asians. Most importantly, extensive experiments and analysis on our Cceleb-1k and LFW show that our Ada-IBN network achieves state-of-the-art performance in face verification task.
Understanding Human Behaviour in Information Security Policy Compliance in a Malaysian Local Authority Organization

The utilization of the Information and Communications Technology (ICT), such as the Internet and electronic mail (e-mail) has made communication nowadays easier, faster and has tremendously reduced the usage of paper. However, if the usage of internet is not properly managed, the possibility of confidential information leakage from the inside of the organization to other entities outside of the organization may occur. The impacts of this malicious activity are beyond the boundaries and cannot be controlled despite implementing various preventive steps and enforcing various regulations. Previous studies have outlined different factors in influencing information leakages in various organizations. However, none had really identified the severity of the factors up to this day. This research hopes to fill this gap, by focusing on staff in Majlis Perbandaran Pasir Gudang (MPPG), Johor, Malaysia. This study covers factors related to human behaviour which have led towards the cases of information breach. The factors include the lack of understanding of information policy, the lack of training, poor management support and the insensitivity of the staffs toward safeguarding the information from falling to the wrong hands. Thus, it is suggested that the ICT security protection needs to be robust, secure and reliable so that the use of the internet or social media will not only enhance the communication efficiency, but also to ensure that the information security in an organization is at the most optimum level.
A Comparative Analysis of Selected Fisher Linear Discriminant Based Algorithms in Human Faces

One of the most reliable biometrics when issues of access control and security is been considered is face recognition. An integral part of a face recognition system is the feature extraction stage, which becomes a critical problem where is a need to obtain the best feature with minimum classification error and low running time. Many of the existing face recognition systems have adopted different linear discriminant-based algorithms independently for feature extraction in which excellent performance were achieved, but identifying the best most suitable of these variants of linear discriminant-based algorithms for face recognition systems remains a subject open for research. Therefore, this paper carried out a comparative analysis of the performance of the basic Linear Discriminant Algorithm (LDA) and two of its variants which are Kernel Linear Discriminant Analysis (KLDA) and Multiclass Linear Discriminant Analysis (MLDA) in face recognition application for access control.&#x0D; Three Hundred and forty (340) face images were locally acquired with default size of 1200 x 1200. Two hundred and forty (240) images were used for training while the remaining hundred (100) images were used for testing purpose. The image enhancement involves converting into grayscale and normalizing the acquired images using histogram equalization method. Feature extraction and dimension reduction of the images were done using each of LDA, KLDA and MLDA algorithms individually. The extracted feature subsets of the images from each of LDA, KLDA and MLDA algorithm were individually classified using Euclidian distance. This technique was implemented using Matrix Laboratory (R2015a). The performance of LDA, KLDA and MLDA was evaluated and compared at 200 x 200 pixel resolution and 0.57 threshold value using recognition accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, false positive rate, training time and recognition time.&#x0D; The evaluation result shows that the LDA algorithm yielded recognition accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, false positive rate, training time and recognition time of 93.00%, 92.86%, 93.33%, 6.67%, 1311.76 seconds and 67.98 seconds respectively. Also, KLDA recorded recognition accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, false positive rate, training time and recognition time of 95.00%, 95.71%, 93.33%, 6.67%, 1393.24 seconds and 63.67 seconds respectively. Furthermore, MLDA algorithm yielded recognition accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, false positive rate, training time and recognition time of 97.00%, 97.14%, 96.67%, 3.33%, 1191.55 seconds and 58.65 seconds respectively. The t-test measured between the accuracies of MLDA algorithm and KLDA reveals that MLDA algorithm was statistically significant at . Also, the t-test measured between the accuracies of MLDA algorithm and LDA reveals that MLDA algorithm was statistically significant at .

Joint Learning of Neural Networks via Iterative Reweighted Least Squares

In this paper, we introduce the problem of jointly learning feed-forward neural networks across a set of relevant but diverse datasets. Compared to learning a separate network from each dataset in isolation, joint learning enables us to extract correlated information across multiple datasets to significantly improve the quality of learned networks. We formulate this problem as joint learning of multiple copies of the same network architecture and enforce the network weights to be shared across these networks. Instead of hand-encoding the shared network layers, we solve an optimization problem to automatically determine how layers should be shared between each pair of datasets. Experimental results show that our approach outperforms baselines without joint learning and those using pretraining-and-fine-tuning. We show the effectiveness of our approach on three tasks: image classification, learning auto-encoders, and image generation.

COMMUNICATIVE COMPETENCE BASED ENGLISH SYLLABUS DESIGN FOR STUDENTS OF PTKI (Perguruan Tinggi Keagamaan Islam)

&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;ABSTRACT&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Communicative Competence (CC) is the target of language teaching today. It contains six competences: Linguistic Competence, Discourse Competence, Socio-Cultural Competence, Formulaic Competence, Interactional Competence, and Strategic Competence. Teaching English for students of PTKI should also convey those competences. The competences should be applied in the syllabus, the materials, etc. However, most of the English syllabus has not conveyed the highlight of those competences. This paper, therefore, aims to propose a syllabus design and the sample of materials based on Communicative Competence. The syllabus contains the highlight of those competences for each topic. The design, then, can be developed by the lecturers to meet the students’ needs.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
Vector-based, Structure Preserving Stroke Gesture Recognition (P)

Unistroke and multistroke gesture recognizers have always striven to reach some robustness with respect to all variations encountered when people issue gestures by hand on touch surfaces or with sensing devices.For this purpose, successful stroke recognizers rely on a gesture recognition algorithm that satisfies a series of invariance properties such as: stroke-order invariance, stroke-number invariance, strokedirection invariance, position, scale, and rotation invariance.Before initiating any recognition activity, these algorithms ensure these properties by performing several pre-processing operations.These operations induce an additional computational cost to the recognition process, as well as a potential error bias.To cope with this problem, we introduce an algorithm that ensures all these properties analytically instead of statistically based on a vector algebra.Instead of points, the recognition algorithm works on vectors between vectors.We demonstrate that this approach not eliminates the need for these preprocessing operations but also satisfies an entire structurepreserving transformation.

From Documents to Data: Reinventing the HEC Montreal Library

The HEC Montréal Library found itself in the same difficult situation as many other business school libraries.The main challenge for the Library was to confirm its relevance by ensuring that it had a fundamental role to play in the School's learning and research community.It was in this context that the School's administrators asked for a complete revision of the Library's business model.They insisted that the Library make the changes necessary for it to meet the twenty-first century needs of professors, researchers, and students, particularly in the area of digital resources and services.Two years later, the Library has defined its new business model, one that is focused on providing research data and knowledge management services.This article describes the approaches that were used in this important restructuring project (change management, project management, value proposition design), the challenges that the Library has had to meet, the benefits for the HEC Montréal community as a whole, and the optimistic future that lies ahead for Library employees.
The Contribution Of Students 'Creativity To Functional Creatives

This article highlights the significant contribution of pupils creativity to the creation of functional works within the discipline Visual Arts and Practical Skills in the Primary Cycle. The aim of the research is to highlight the creative character of the students activity products in the visual arts classes and practical skills. The objectives of micro-research are aimed at teachers and pupils. The experiment is the main method used in this microtest. In the lessons of visual arts and practical skills in the making of objects, as well as in their finishing, all psychic processes develop: the memory, the thinking, the imagination, the language, the motivation, the affectivity, the will and the attention of the students as well as the spirit of initiative. Student’s creativity can be considered as a mental and social process that involves the generation of new ideas or concepts, or new associations of the creative mind between existing ideas or concepts. Creativity is a multidimensional concept and can be manifested in many areas of activity. The concept of creativity can be defined from the perspective of different disciplines: psychology, social psychology, cognitive sciences, arts, philosophy, economics, management and so on many distinct levels: cognitive, intellectual, social, economic, artistic, literary. Many people associate creativity with the arts in particular: music, theater, dance, literature, which are often called creative arts. In this micro-research we will deal with pupils creativity in creating functional works within the discipline of visual arts and practical skills in the primary cycle.
Intensity Spread Analysis of Programmable Photonic Circuits with Parasitics

Performing Monte-Carlo simulations, we investigate such imperfections for different routings of light through a 7-cells hexagonal mesh with different biasing schemes.
Defining Situational Characteristics for Situational Agile Method Engineering

Rapidly changing customer demands, increasing competition and faster development cycles requires companies to build capabilities to adapt their product and services as well as their business models quickly. By using agile methods, companies are supported in adapting to these changes and to achieve competitiveness in volatile markets. However, agile “off-the-shelf”-methods bear the risk of not answering the challenges of specific business situations. Thus, the concept of situational method engineering was applied to agile methods, resulting in situational agile method engineering (SAME). For SAME to work, a description of situations is necessary, which allows to decide among different agile methods and method fragments. Thus, situational characteristics have been derived in a literature review and validated in focus group interviews resulting in a list of 5 relevant situational characteristics for SAME.
Influence of Image Manipulation Restricted to Global Alterations on Diagnosis by an Oral Cytologist

Background: Cytology has always proudly been in forefront to absorb new technologic advances for practical use.The extensive and passionate implementation of digital imaging in telecytology, automated screening, education, training and certification, research, and publications is an appropriate example.Digitalization cytology records make its manipulation very simple.Several such manipulations, however, correspond to inappropriate changes and can affect final diagnosis of digital slides. Aim: To determine if global alterations of digital oral cytology images can affect its interpretation by an individual.Methodology: 20 digital images of cytological test smears of normal oral epithelium were acquired and stored in JPEG format.These slides were then manipulated restricted to global alterations (modify brightness, contrast and color levels, without focal changes) and were camouflaged from the original.A single power point presentation of 40 slides was created of group A (original) and group B (manipulated) digital slides, 20 each.This presentation was given to 5 experts for categorization on chart provided to them for easy data compilation.Intra-examiner pretest-post test difference was analysed using Wilcoxon rank sums test.Results: Out of the 5 examiners, diagnosis of three examiners changed significantly (p < 0.05) after slide alteration.Percentage of Over-interpretation ranged from 30-85% and under-interpretation 5-15% from unaltered slides for different examiners. Conclusion:Study clearly demonstrates that global manipulation of a digital image affects its interpretation and suggests that care needs to be taken when digital cytology images are used, to specifically ensure that their alteration does not affect diagnosis.
