The Relative Contributions of Research-Based Composition Activities to Writing Improvement in the Lower and Middle Grades
Authors: Sadoski Mark , Willson Victor L. , Norton Donna E.
Published: March 2024

In a benchmark meta-analysis of experimental research findings from 1962 to 1982, Hillocks (1986) reported the varying effects of general modes of instruction and specific instructional activities (foci) on the quality of student writing. The main purpose of the present study was to explore the relative effectiveness of those modes and foci using a non-experimental methodology and a new group of 16 teachers and 275 students in grades 1, 3–6, and 8. Teachers who had attended a summer writing institute reported on 17 different instructional variables that were primarily derived from the meta-analysis during each week of a ten-week treatment period that occurred at the beginning of the next school year. A pre- and post- treatment large-scale writing assessment was used with a prompt that allowed latitude in student choice of topic and extra time for prewriting and/or revision. Large gains in quality and quantity were found in the lower grades (1, 3, and 4) and smaller gains were found in the middle grades (5, 6, and 8). The demographic variables of SES, primary language, residence, and gender were found to have small and/or insignificant relationships to gains. Teacher-determined combinations of instructional variables and their relationship to gains in quality were investigated through factor analysis while controlling for pretreatment individual differences. Only one combination of activities was associated with large gains, and it was interpretable as the environmental mode of instruction. This combination included inquiry, prewriting, writing about literature, and the use of evaluative scales.

Editors’ Introduction
Authors: Smagorinsky Peter , Smith Michael W.
Published: March 2024

Traditionally, university faculty have been evaluated and promoted according to their ability to produce sole-authored publications. The age of copyright also pushed to discourage acknowledgement of contributions made by others. However, it has long been acknowledged that new scholarship is based on citation, and social researchers contend that all thought is socially meditated and therefore collaborative. The issue becomes more complicated when research is conducted in conjunction with classroom teachers, whose classroom practices and insights are imperative to the observer’s analysis, and should, therefore, be co-authors.

Processos de subjetivação e de formação nas Danças Circulares Sagradas
Authors: Curione Menezes Potyra , Soares Alves Flávio
Published: March 2024

Propomos observar possíveis ressonâncias entre a experiência corporal-coletiva instalada nas Danças Circulares Sagradas (DCS) e os processos de subjetivação/ formação. Para tanto, buscamos respaldo na abordagem enativa para traçar composições com um relato envolvendo esta prática. Partiu-se da seguinte questão: como a dinâmica relacional das DCS pode oferecer espaços potentes de encontro com forças que intensificam nossa experiência de si e mobilizar processos formativos de focalizadores(as)?[1] Observou-se que a prática das DCS promove um envolvimento intenso que reclama por uma calibragem perceptiva de seus participantes. Tal calibragem se evidencia entre as dimensões das sensibilidades e do sagrado, por uma perspectiva ética e estilística que vai constituindo não só os processos de subjetivação, como também o movimento formativo do(a) futuro(a) focalizador(a) de DCS.[1] Aquele(a) que, não só conduz a roda, mas também tem a função de “colocar e sustentar o foco”, isto é, de contribuir na intensificação desta experiência expressiva.

Das Förderprogramm: Verwaltungsvorschrift R-Beton Baden-Württemberg
Authors: Preiss Johannes , Laux Daniel , Denu Maureen , Höffgen Jan , Dehn Frank
Published: March 2024

The funding programme within the administrative regulation for resource- and climate-friendly concrete construction in building construction (VwV R-Beton) aims to promote the use of recycled aggregate concrete, and thus sustainability-optimised concrete mix designs in structural engineering applications. The goal is to support the availability and economic circular use of recycled aggregates - possibly in conjunction with CO2-addition - or aggregates obtained through a wet classification. In addition, the accompanying scientific programme will generate data on the fresh and hardened concrete properties as well as the CO2-binding capacity of the sustainable aggregates used. This data will then be analysed and methods for CO2-impact and measuring the CO2-storage capacity will be compared and further developed. The aim of the accompanying programme is the possible adaptation and further development of applicable rules and regulations in order to facilitate the use of recycled aggregate concrete.
Eine Analyse der CO2-Beaufschlagung von rezyklierter Gesteinskörnung – Die technische Umsetzungsmöglichkeiten am Beispiel der Schweiz
Authors: Märki Reto
Published: March 2024

The Eberhard companies are now in their third generation of campaigning for better resource utilisation and environmental protection in the construction sector. The latest innovation involves the circular use of concrete granulate as an aggregate for zirkulit® and zireco® concrete. On 23 October 2023, five family-owned companies joined forces under the umbrella of zirkulit Beton AG. Grisoni-Zaugg SA, JMS Group (Johann Müller AG), Kästli Bau AG, Lötscher Plus Group and Eberhard Bau AG are jointly writing the next chapter of circular construction. In this way, CO2 can be permanently stored in concrete granulate on a large scale throughout Switzerland. Their goal is to bind 25,000 tonnes of CO2 in concrete across Switzerland every year from 2030. At the same time, over 2 million tonnes of high-quality construction waste will be returned to the cycle. The Swiss-wide potential of the technology used is considerable. Theoretically, over 50,000 tonnes of CO2 could be stored in the concrete granulate every year. The circular concrete produced from this is recyclable and has a minimal CO2 footprint. zirkulit AG, which was founded in April 2021, pursues the vision of "the circular house on a material basis". zirkulit® and zireco® concrete pursue the holistic circular approach. The consumption of primary resources is reduced to less than a third. The CO2 footprint of zirkulit® concrete is additionally reduced by a CO2 storage technology developed by zirkulit, while maintaining the same technical properties as primary concrete.

MidiBERT-Piano: Large-scale Pre-training for Symbolic Music Classification Tasks

Published: March 2024

This paper presents a benchmark study of MIDI-domain music classification using the mask language modeling approach of the Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers (BERT). Specifically, with five public-domain datasets of single-track polyphonic piano MIDI files, we pre-train a 12-layer Transformer model using the BERT approach and fine-tune it for four downstream classification tasks. These include two note-level classification tasks---melody extraction and velocity prediction, and two sequence-level classification tasks---artist classification and emotion classification. Compared to strong recurrent neural network (RNN)-based baselines, the BERT approach does lead to higher classification accuracy, with less than 10 epochs of fine-tuning. Ablation studies further show that the pre-training remains effective even if the MIDI data of the downstream tasks are not seen during the pre-training stage, and that freezing the self-attention layers at the fine-tuning stage only slightly degrades the performance. For reproducibility, we share the weights of our pre-trained and fine-tuned models.
