Lisansüstü Öğrencilerinin Gözünden Kampüs Ortamı: Bir Photovoice (Fotoses) Çalışması/ Campus environment through the lens of graduate students: A Photovoice study
Authors: YILMAZLI TROUT Incı , YILDIRIM Fatih
Published: October 2021

Bu çalışmanın amacı bir katılımcı eylem araştırma yöntemi olan photovoice (fotoses) ile yüksek lisans ve doktora öğrencilerinin kampüs kültürü ve iklimi ile ilgili algılarını incelemektir. Amerika Birleşik Devletleri’nde bir üniversitede verilen “Üniversite Ortamı” adlı lisansüstü dersini alan öğrenciler üzerinde gerçekleştirilen bu çalışma, hem öğrencilerin ders içeriğini teorik ve uygulamalı bir şekilde incelemelerini ve eğitimleri dahilinde birer araştırmacı olarak deneyim kazanmalarını, hem de araştırmanın sonuçlarını üniversite idaresi ile paylaşarak seslerini duyurmalarını amaçlamıştır. Bu dersin içeriği kapsamında kampüs iklimi, kampüs kültürü, öğrenci etkileşimi ve gelişimi gibi konular yer almaktadır. Bu dersi alan dokuz yüksek lisans ve dört doktora öğrencisi araştırmanın örneklemini oluşturmaktadır. Photovoice ya da fotoses, özellikle katılımcı eylem araştırma yaklaşımlarında kullanılan bir yöntemdir. Bu yöntemin amacı, toplulukların kendilerini etkileyen sorunları fotoğraflar aracılığıyla görselleştirmesi ve topluluk bireylerinin fotoğraflar ve onlara yükledikleri anlamlar aracılığıyla sorunlarına birlikte çözüm araması ve eyleme geçmelerini sağlamaktır. Fotoses çalışması sürecinde öğrenciler kampüs ortamı ile ilgili düşüncelerini kendi çektikleri fotoğraflar ve her fotoğrafı anlatan kısa bir metin ile yansıtmıştır. Sürecin sonunda, fotoses çalışması sırasındaki deneyimlerini detaylı olarak öz-yansıtma metinleri ile sunmuşlardır. Çalışmanın verilerini fotoğraflar, fotoğrafları anlatan metinler, öz-yansıtma metinleri ve grup görüşme kayıtları oluşturmaktadır. Veri analizi ise, çalışmanın katılımcı deseni ile uyumlu olarak grup görüşmeleri sırasında öğrencilerle birlikte gerçekleştirilmiş ve fotoğraflarda ortaya çıkan temalar belirlenmiştir. Bu temaların ışığında, öz-yansıtma metinleri üzerinde araştırmacılar analizlere devam etmiş ve çalışmanın sonucunda üç temaya ulaşılmıştır: (i) kimlik ve çeşitlilik temsili, (ii) topluluk duygusu ve (iii) destekleyici ortam. Kampüs ortamı ile ilgili olarak literatür incelendiğinde, bu literatürün odak noktasının lisans öğrencileri üzerinde yoğunlaştığı görülmektedir. Bu çalışma, farklı bir yaklaşımla yüksek lisans ve doktora öğrencilerinin gözünden kampüs ortamını ve öğrencilerin bu ortama dair algılarını incelemektedir. Ayrıca bu çalışma Türkiye’de fazla kullanılmayan photovoice/fotoses yönteminin yaygınlaşmasına katkı sağlamak için Türkçe olarak hazırlanmıştır.
The Survival Rates of SMEs in Turkey and the Conceptual Framework of Factors Affecting IT
Authors:   Department of International Logistics and Transportation Yeditepe University, Istanbul, Turkey, Akkartal Erkut
Published: October 2021

SMEs are vitally important enterprises as they are a source of income and employment in both developed and developing economies. However, despite their importance, only a small part of them survive for many years. Therefore, identifying the factors that enable SMEs to survive will play an important role in attracting entrepreneurs’ attention and encouraging them to take steps to ensure the survival of their enterprises. In the literature, these factors are considered independently of each other. In this context, there is a gap in the literature that requires to demonstrate the relationship between these factors. This article aims to contribute to the literature by identifying factors affecting the survival of SMEs in Turkey and providing a conceptual framework that explains their relationships. In the proposed framework, managerial practices, entrepreneurial traits, market adaptation, growth management and finance management were considered as the main constructs. If this conceptual framework, which was revealed as a result of field observations and detailed literature reviews, is empirically supported by further studies, it can create an alternative perspective that will inspire SME owners in Turkey to keep their companies alive for years.
Gender Representation in the Lexical Functional Grammar
Authors:   Babcock University, Ilishan Remo, Ogun State, Hanoukoume Cyril Kparou,
Published: October 2021

Gender marking is a language universal, although some languages have a stronger Gender-marking grammar. The Lexical Functional Grammar (LFG), a linguistic theory, has a set of rules and levels to render for Gender marking. Bornee and developed within the larger framework of the Generative Grammar, the Lexical Functional Grammar has become a standalone autonomous theoretical theory. This paper draws data from French language to present a comprehensive development of Gender-marking analysis within the Lexical Functional Grammar Framework. Fundamentally, the LSG posits for four phrase structures, which are the C-structure representing lexical entries, the F-structure, which deals with the functional information, the A-structure, which structures predicate-argument relationships, and the ơ-structure, which handles semantic representations. Although the grammatical gender is arrayed all over the four structures, it is mainly presented in this paper as a feature in the lexicon, typically integrated in the C-structure and F-structure mapping.

Authors:   Psychology Faculty, Universitas Muhammadiyah Purwokerto, Indonesia, Herdian Herdian
Published: October 2021

Banyumas is one of the districts in the western part of Central Java. Banyumas has a variety of uniqueness in the culture and character of the indigenous people of Banyumas. Cablaka or Blakasutha is part of the universal character of the Banyumas people. However, along with technology and modernization, the original character may change or be eroded. We researched three characteristics of informants: parents, college students, and junior and senior high schools to fill in an open-ended questionnaire regarding their perceptions of Cablaka or Blakasutha. The results showed that Cablaka or Blakasutha to parents are still applied in everyday life. In contrast to informants from student colleges and junior and senior high schools who do not know the meaning of Cablaka or Blakasutha even the importance of the terms.

Authors:   Pham Thu Trang, Thu Trang Pham
Published: October 2021

The study employed a mixed method research design to investigate the self-perceived levels of learners’ autonomy at the institution where the researcher works. The study also explores the teachers’ support in fostering students’ autonomy. In addition, the study attempts to determine the relationship between genders, learning styles and the learners’ levels of autonomy. The main findings reveal that the level of learners’ autonomy where the study was conducted was at medium level (M = 2.66 out of 5.0 scale). In terms of the students’ perception of their teachers’ roles in fostering students’ autonomy, the finding of the current study reveals that it was quite supportive (M = 3.29 out of 5.0 scale). The finding also indicated that the difference in level of autonomy is not significant between male and female students (M = 2.667 for male compared with M = 2.668 for female students). Finally, the result showed that there a statistically significant difference in the levels of autonomy between students with different learning styles. To be specifically, the students who prefer kinesthetic learning style possess the highest level of autonomy (M = 2.75) compared with M = 2.60 and 2.59 for visual and individual learning style students. M=2.72; M=269 and M=2.62 are the level of autonomy for group, tactile and auditory students respectively.

Análise do “normatizar” da crise venezuelana no Brasil e sua relação com a política discursiva da operação acolhida
Authors: Machado Victória Figueiredo
Published: October 2021

A partir de uma análise político-midiática do recrudescimento do movimento migratório venezuelano em direção ao Brasil principalmente no ano de 2017,o artigo busca investigar a natureza bilateral, concomitante da governança humanitária brasileira relacionada ao cuidado e controle, benevolência e ameaça. Essa dinâmica é reforçada em 2018 com a criação da Operação Acolhida, que será exposta no artigo através da observação de imagens e vídeos oficiais e de um breve e incipiente estudo de campo. Pretende-se questionar como o imaginário de emergência que a mídia e os políticos estavam mobilizando, acaba (re)produzindo através de práticas discursivas, visuais, estéticas da Operação uma visão de alteridade, sobre quem são os brasileiros e quem são os venezuelanos. O artigo utiliza a abordagem pós-estruturalista, focando na construção discursiva de subjetividades e da identidade coletiva da “nação brasileira”, bem como nas consequências políticas de determinados discursos e práticas no tocante à identidade, segurança e mobilidade, tomando como aporte metodológico a análise de discurso. Nesse sentido, investigar estratégias de representação performatizadas pelo Exército brasileiro que transformam o espetáculo ameaçador da “enxurrada, invasão de refugiados “ em um palco compassivo de cuidado, benevolência torna-se central para esse artigo, em como expor a vulnerabilidade migratória vivenciada nesse processo.

Authors: Brahim Clara Barboza , Araújo Jimmy de Oliveira , Queiroz Daher Antonio , Dessaune Neto Nilton , Tinelli Danielle , Bachour Camila , Cury Sérgio Elias Vieira
Published: October 2021

JUSTIFICATIVA E OBJETIVOS: A disfunção temporomandibular (DTM), é um termo coletivo que abrange a articulação temporomandibular (ATM), os músculos da mastigação e/ou estruturas músculo esqueléticas associadas, e tem na síndrome da dor miofascial (SDM), uma condição clínica que pode caracterizar uma disfunção muscular, quando na presença de nódulos hipersensíveis, chamados de pontos-gatilho miofasciais (PGM). O objetivo deste estudo foi através de uma revisão da literatura atual, fornecer dados disponíveis sobre a eficácia do agulhamento seco na dor miofascial. CONTEÚDO: Foi realizada uma busca nas bases de dados PubMed, Bireme e Cochrane, de maio de 2001 a dezembro de 2014, cruzando-se os descritores: músculos mastigatórios, músculos do pescoço, dor facial, pontos-gatilho, síndrome da disfunção da articulação temporomandibular e síndrome da dor miofascial. Como critérios de inclusão foram analisados apenas estudos randomizados, encobertos ou duplamente encobertos, com 12 ou mais participantes, de aspectos metodológicos aleatórios, que relacionassem o uso do agulhamento seco na SDM na região da musculatura de cabeça e pescoço, limitados para o idioma português, inglês e espanhol encontrando-se vinte e quatro estudos que foram incluídos neste estudo. CONCLUSÃO: O agulhamento seco mostrou bons resultados na desativação de PGM, embora a injeção com soluções anestésicas associada com a fisioterapia seja interessante, quando ambas foram comparadas a outras modalidades terapêuticas. Ainda há a necessidade de serem realizados mais estudos para vincular melhores resultados em relação a uma terapia para a SDM baseada em evidências.

Published: October 2021

Pensar no direito à Educação é compreender que crianças e adolescentes com doença crônica, que em seu tratamento demandam horas semanais no ambiente hospitalar no decorrer de suas vidas escolares, poderão apresentar, em algum momento, necessidades educacionais específicas. Buscou-se compreender a trajetória escolar de uma adolescente com mielomeningocele e insuficiência renal crônica delineando os percursos escolares, na escola e no hospital. Neste estudo fenomenológico os dados foram coletados por meio de entrevistas semi-estrururada e registro em caderno de campo. As participantes foram uma adolescente em tratamento hemodiálitico e sua progenitora. Esta pesquisa permitiu identificar necessidades educacionais específicas da adolescente e o fazer pedagógico, em um centro de hemodiálise. As condições objetivas da doença crônica configuraram deficiências que foram diagnosticadas e construídas, pela equipe de saúde, mãe e adolescente, ao longo de seu percurso escolar, evidenciando dificuldades e entraves neste processo. Por outro lado, o olhar durante os atendimentos pedagógico-escolares descortinou novos caminhos que poderiam descontruir a autoimagem da deficiência e da incapacidade de aprender. Pode-se inferir que a doença crônica e seu tratamento não inviabiliza a vida escolar, desde que haja as condições educacionais para criar elos entre o hospital e a escolarização. Destaca-se a atuação pedagógica em centros de hemodiálise e a necessidades de mais pesquisas na área.

Entre as práticas terapêuticas da Medicina Tradicional Chinesa, observam-se diversos tipos de práticas corporais visando preservar ou recuperar a saúde, fortalecendo o corpo e a mente. Este estudo tem como objetivo avaliar a prática do Lien Ch’i como exercício regular inserido no ambiente escolar e observar seus efeitos. Participaram do estudo 32 alunos de uma escola pública, média de idade de 8±0,7 anos, ambos os gêneros divididos em 2 grupos, um de prática, que receberam a vivência dos exercícios por 7 minutos, 5 dias por semana num período de 8 semanas, e outro grupo controle. Anteriormente ao início do estudo e após o término foi aplicado o protocolo de escores psicológicos Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scales. O grupo de prática do Lien Ch’i apresentou diferenças estatísticas significativas para dois escores com P=0,0008 para Depressão e P=0,0085 para Estresse. No grupo controle não houve diferenças estatisticamente significativas. A prática do Lien Ch’i realizada por crianças neste estudo evidenciou a redução dos escores de depressão e estresse, estas evidências dão suporte para a realização de investigações mais amplas que visem elucidar demais mecanismos influenciados pela práxis cotidiana desses exercícios.

Published: October 2021

O mundo aparenta estar cada vez menor, mais restrito, com todos os seus espaços explorados e expostos à curiosidade e à ação humana. A visitação em áreas protegidas e, em especial, nas unidades de conservação vem acarretando a degradação do meio ambiente em todas as suas manifestações pela ausência de Planos de Manejo, pela inexistência e/ou ineficiência da  fiscalização ambiental e principalmente pelo desconhecimento dos visitantes e comunidade residente no entorno da mesma. Muitas são as iniciativas de se buscar a preservação e o manejo ambiental de unidades de conservação, considerando-se sua importância, seus recursos ambientais associados e os serviços ambientais que presta. Partindo desta premissa, é que se torna imprescindível e exeqüível a elaboração de projetos que contemplem o planejamento, gerenciamento e o monitoramento de áreas protegidas para que se alcance a compatibilização da visitação com a proteção da mesma em toda a sua integralidade. O cenário escolhido para a realização deste estudo é a Área de Proteção Ambiental do município de Barra do Piraí localizada à rua Antônio Félix Pinheiro, nº1025,  bairro Represa.  A partir do histórico, sua criação, pesquisa e evolução da atual área protegida, detectou-se algumas fragilidades e potencialidades que nortearam este estudo e que subsidiaram as propostas descritas e consubstanciada pelos projetos apresentados e que poderão ser implementadas com o objetivo de humanização, educação ambiental de caráter formal e não-formal, recuperação e otimização daquele espaço de suma importância para os barrenses.

The Effect of The Schema Therapy-Based Psycho-Education Program on The Depression and Happiness Levels of Teachers
Authors: KORKMAZ Zafer
Published: October 2021

The Cognitive Therapy Theories focus on cognitive structures based on past experiences called schemas in the treatment of clients. It can be argued that the information organized in the form of schemas can facilitate the lives of individuals enabling the systematic use of the information that already exists in the memory, and the new information can be organized around the existing schemas. However, maladaptive schemas developing in the early period of life cause individuals to make erroneous processes and eventually make wrong decisions. For this reason, it is extremely important to know the maladaptive schemas creating negations for individuals and to make preventive efforts for individuals to overcome the negations caused by these maladaptive schemas. In the present study, the effects of the psychoeducation program prepared according to the principles of Schema Therapy on the depression and happiness level of teachers were examined in the framework of the general objectives that were mentioned above. In the present study, the pre-test, post-test, follow-up test, and repeated measurement experimental design (single group repeated measurement) was used. According to the results of this study, it was observed after the Schema Therapy-Based Psychoeducation Program that was applied to the schema therapy group that the program was significantly effective in reducing the depression levels of the experimental group participants, and this effect was permanent in the follow-up tests that were performed afterward. It was also seen that the Schema Therapy-Based Psychoeducation Program was significantly effective in increasing the happiness levels of the experimental group participants, and this effect was permanent in the follow-up tests.
From bad to worse: The economic impact of COVID-19 in developing countries. Evidence from Venezuela
Authors: Caruso German , Chittaro Lautaro , Cucagna Maria Emilia , Espana Luis Pedro
Published: October 2021

Policy responses to COVID-19 affected the dynamic of eco¬nomic growth and labor markets worldwide, hitting econom¬ically harder on developing countries. These policies involved economic lockdowns that included the shutdown of the main statistical exercises, making it almost impossible to assess the breadth and variety of their effects. Using a phone survey, this paper examines the impact of the quarantine implemented in Venezuela on labor market outcomes. The identification strategy exploits the exogenous variation in the severity of the lockdown in different regions of the country. The main result indicates a 16.5 percentage points reduction in employment, while in regions with severe lockdowns the reduction has been 13.8 p.p. larger. In particular, the self-employed and informal¬ly employed were hard hit by the lockdown. To cope with this effect, households sold their productive assets, reduced their savings, sought for alternative income sources and looked for help from relatives. This paper does not find a differential ef¬fect on the number of COVID-19 cases in more severe lock¬down settings. Results are robust to endogenous migration and alternative specifications.
Marginal Adaptation of Different Bulk-fill Composites: A Microcomputed Tomography Evaluation
Authors: Al Sheikh Rasha
Published: October 2021

Objectives: In the last decade, bulk-fill materials were introduced to allow resin-based composites (RBC) in one layer (up to 4-5 mm thick) with optimum polymerization. We sought to evaluate the adaptation ability of different bulk-fill composites resin (CRs)and restoration marginal integrity. Methods: A total of 28 caries-free and crack-free human molars underwent mesio-occlusal-distal cavity preparation. Each sample prepared the mesial margins on enamel, and the distal margins were extended into dentin. Teeth were then randomly distributed into four groups (n = 7 per group) according to the CR used to restore the cavity. Three bulk-fill CRs—Smart Dentin Replacement Flow+, 3M™ Filtek™ One Bulk Fill (FBF), and Tetric® N-Ceram Bulk Fill (TBF)—and one conventional CR (CC)—Filtek™ Z350—were used. The teeth were then subjected to aging via thermocycling, followed by cyclic loading. Finally, the volumetric width of the interfacial gap at the tooth-restoration interface was measured using a microcomputed tomography (µ-CT) analysis. Results: SDR demonstrated the smallest gap volume among all tested CRs, followed by CC in enamel and TBF in dentin after aging. FBF showed the highest gap volume. There was no statistically significant three-way interaction between surface, aging, and material (p > 0.050). Conclusions: It is safe to suggest using bulk-fill RBC in deep class II cavities instead of conventional layered RBC when dealing with dentin margins. However, further clinical investigation is required.

Published: October 2021

Objectives: Prostate cancer (PCa) is the third most common cancer worldwide, with its incidence rising in the Middle East. There is a paucity of data about the clinicopathological features and outcomes of metastatic prostate cancer (mPCa) from the Middle East. We report the outcomes of mPCa from Oman. Methods: We recruited consecutive men diagnosed with mPCa and treated at Sultan Qaboos University Hospital in Oman between January 2006 and December 2017. Information about demographics, clinical, laboratory, pathological, and radiological features at presentation, treatment, and survival outcomes was collected. Data were gathered until April 2019 or until the patient’s death for progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS), whichever came first. Survival rates were estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method. Univariate and multivariate analysis and Cox regression analyses were performed to study factors affecting the PFS and the OS. Results: Of the 239 men diagnosed with PCa over the study period, 62 were diagnosed with mPCa. The median age was 71 (range = 57–92) years. The majority of patients (61.3%) had a Gleason score ≥ 8. Median prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level was 100.0. Bone was the most common site of metastatic disease (90.3%). The majority of patients with the hormone-sensitive disease were treated with testosterone suppression only, while abiraterone, enzalutamide, and docetaxel were added for treating metastatic castration-resistant mPCa (mCRPC). After a median follow-up of 34.5 months, the median PFS was 17 months, while the median OS was 43 months. Median survival post mCRPC was 17 months. Conclusions: Omani patients with mPCa present with high PSA and Gleason score and with widespread metastatic disease burden. Treatments offered are according to internationally accepted standards and have comparable PFS and OS as reported elsewhere.

Objectives: Despite guidelines recommending no need for coagulation testing before surgeries when a history of bleeding is negative, surgeons still overuse it in this part of the world. We aim to measure unbiased estimates of hemostatic outcomes in ear, nose, and throat (ENT) surgeries and assess the surgeons’ behavior of preoperative coagulation testing. Methods: We enrolled all patients who underwent ENT surgeries from July 2017 to January 2018. The primary outcome was postoperative bleeding. Surgeons were asked about their decision on history alone or doing coagulation testing and their reason. Results: We recruited 730 patients; 372 were interviewed for a challenging bleeding history alone (group 1), and 358 had preoperative coagulation testing (group 2). Coagulation testing was repeated twice or more in 55.0% of patients, and more than half had coagulation factor and Von Willebrand factor assays. Most surgeons performed coagulation testing because of habitual practice. Conclusions: Almost half of the local surgeons consider coagulation testing as standard to evaluate bleeding risk before surgical procedures. This resulted in unnecessary delays in surgeries, parent/patient anxiety, and additional total cost. We recommend awareness campaigns for surgeons and the involvement of surgical societies to adhere to guidelines of detailed hemostatic history.

Authors: Saha Debmalya , Sinha Lakshmi , Samal Satyajit , Sharma Parag , Naqvi Sayyed Ehtesham Hussain , Geelani Muhammad Abid
Published: October 2021

A right atrial myxoma extending to the inferior vena cava with associated right-to-left shunting leading to systemic desaturation is an exceedingly rare clinical entity. The number of cases reported in the literature to date is not more than five. This case study presents a 45-year-old female who was referred to our center with symptoms of breathlessness, easy fatigability, generalized weakness, and central cyanosis. On routine blood investigation, polycythemia was detected. On preoperative 2D-transthoracic echocardiography, the diagnosis of right atrial mass was confirmed but the reason for cyanosis was not revealed.

Breathing for Peak Performance
Authors: Franklin Eric
Published: October 2021

“Breathing is essential to our survival, it is necessary for energy production, and it is something we do about 20,000 times a day,” says Franklin, who has taught at various universities and ballets and coached world champions and Cirque du Soleil artists in his Franklin Method. “We stand to benefit if we improve our breathing.”

In Breathing for Peak Performance, you will learn how to improve your own breathing and the breathing of those you coach and work with.

“To improve your breathing or to coach someone who needs to improve, first you need that solid understanding of anatomy,” Franklin says. “And you need to understand the habits that can hinder efficient breathing—tension, poor posture, and negative thinking, among others.”

Authors: Franklin Eric
Published: October 2021

Renowned master teacher Eric Franklin has thoroughly updated his classic text, Dance Imagery for Technique and Performance, providing dancers and dance educators with a deep understanding of how they can use imagery to improve their dancing and artistic expression in class and in performance.

These features are new to this edition:

• Two chapters include background, history, theory, and uses of imagery.

• 294 exercises offer dancers and dance educators greater opportunities to experience how imagery can enhance technique and performance.

• 133 illustrations facilitate the use of imagery to improve technique, artistic expression, and performance.

Franklin provides hundreds of imagery exercises to refine improvisation, technique, and choreography. The 295 illustrations cover the major topics in the book, showing exercises to use in technique, artistic expression, and performance. In addition, Franklin supplies imagery exercises that can restore and regenerate the body through massage, touch, and stretching. And he offers guidance in using imagery to convey information about a dancer’s steps and to clarify the intent and content of movement.

This new edition of Dance Imagery for Technique and Performance can be used with Franklin’s Dynamic Alignment Through Imagery, Second Edition, or on its own. Either way, readers will learn how to combine technical expertise with imagery skills to enrich their performance, and they will discover methods they can use to explore how imagery connects with dance improvisation and technique.

Dance Imagery for Technique and Performance uses improvisation exercises to help readers investigate new inner landscapes to create and communicate various movement qualities, provides guidelines for applying imagery in the dance class, and helps dancers expand their repertoire of expressiveness in technique and performance across ballet, modern, and contemporary dance.

This expanded edition of Dance Imagery for Technique and Performance supplies imagery tools for enhancing or preparing for performance, and it introduces the importance of imagery in dancing and teaching dance. Franklin’s method of using imagery in dance is displayed throughout this lavishly illustrated book, and the research from scientific and dance literature that supports Franklin’s method is detailed.

The text, exercises, and illustrations make this book a practical resource for dancers and dance educators alike.

Writing About Dance
Authors: Oliver Wendy R.
Published: October 2021

Master the art of writing about dance! And learn about dance at the same time. This comprehensive guide provides students with instructions for writing about dance in many different contexts. It brings together the many different kinds of writing that can be effectively used in a variety of dance classes from technique to appreciation. In addition, it offers strategies for improving critical thinking skills, and shows how writing and critical thinking are closely linked. Part I focuses on informal writing such as freewriting, with sample exercises and prompts. Part II outlines approaches to writing three different kinds of formal papers: critiques, essays and research papers. Writing about dance teaches on two levels. First, the writer is learning dance content as s/he writes. Engaging in the writing assignment causes the writer to take a look at an aspect of dance and to become a 'momentary expert'. Secondly, writing itself is a way of learning. Writing involves the brain in three kinds of interaction, that is, the intellectual act of critically thinking, the physical act of writing or typing, and the visual aspect of seeing the writing on the page. The critical thinking and contemplation involved in writing can deepen students understanding of dance technique, dance creativity, and dance as an art form. Students will use this book on their own, or teachers may make assignments from it. It teaches about dance writing, but also about the very basics of dance appreciation.
Choreographing From Within
Authors: Green Diana F.
Published: October 2021

One school of thought regarding choreography says to teach only the rules of fundamental design and form and have students create from formulas. Another school of thought eschews the fundamentals and focuses on creativity.

Author Diana Green espouses both theories and blends them beautifully in Choreographing From Within: Developing a Habit of Inquiry as an Artist. Her approach to integrating the art and craft of choreography grounds students in the fundamentals and takes the fear out of creativity.

Green uses an inquiry-based approach to engage students, placing them at the center of the learning and allowing for multiple pathways of learning. Rather than present a cookbook approach with recipes to follow, Green offers a thorough understanding of the medium, provides examples, and allows students to learn, explore, and create based on their own unique styles.
